Connor Closs revisits NSYNC's "This I Promise You" on The Voice

His live-show ballad draws an unusually fast audience amid a Y2K-themed night of boy bands, pop hits and rock anthems.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 130,152 views a day, 17 times a normal first day on this channel (7,721).

Connor Closs starts seated on a stool, with vintage television screens showing nature scenes behind him. The arrangement of NSYNC's "This I Promise You" begins quietly, leaving room for the performance to build.

Three seated backing vocalists join him in harmony before Closs rises for the belted high notes. By the finish, he has moved toward center stage alongside them, turning the intimate opening into a group finale.

The Top 13 performance drew about 130,000 views in its first day, roughly seventeen times the usual opening audience for The Voice's uploads of this length. It comes as the competition moves into live shows with a night built around turn-of-the-millennium nostalgia.

NSYNC released the song on their 2000 album No Strings Attached, and the memories are part of the conversation beneath Closs's version. One viewer recalls high-school prom dates; others focus on his controlled delivery, the backing-vocal arrangement and the falsetto finish. There is even a comparison to Ben Platt's vibrato.

Closs's ballad isn't the only performance from the night drawing an unusually large audience. Mia Knight's take on Kelly Clarkson's "Miss Independent" and Lexi Stephens's cover of Avril Lavigne's "I'm With You" also had fast starts. The wider songbook stretches from the Top 13 singing Backstreet Boys' "Everybody" to Big Country performing Bon Jovi's "It's My Life", giving the live round room for both close harmonies and rock choruses.
