Neidt has compiled a 20-song mix of classic and current boy band tunes and manages to sing them all in 60 seconds with just his guitar. Timeless tracks from bands like 'N Sync, New Kids, Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees and O-Town are performed alongside present-day songs from artists like The Wanted, One Direction and Big Time Rush in a high energy medley packed with plenty of nostalgia.
A few years ago, Neidt began creating these marvelous mash-up videos with one of his first being "30 Christmas Songs in 60 Seconds" and more recently, clips featuring the best of '90's one hit wonders and a compilation of Disney movie soundtracks.
