If there is one thing we have learned in MTV's Battle of the Boy Bands, it's that all those boy band fans are extremely dedicated. Fans have proudly bonded together to show their allegiance to their favorite groups to help them advance to the next round, and as a result, we have had some shocking eliminations.

Yet, this bracket has also served as a reminder of why we fell in love with these groups to begin with. Whether it was their boyish good looks or catchy hit songs that hooked them, most people can probably name their favorite boy band of all time. So when we got the opportunity to sit down with Selena Gomez when she was promoting her new fragrance, we had to ask, which boy band stole her heart in her early teens?

"'NSYNC all the way, of course," Gomez revealed. "It was the first for me and then they did that tour with Britney [Spears] and I like lost my mind and will always remember that time in my life."

And when you have a favorite group, you have to have a favorite member, and Gomez's boy band crush coincidently has the same name as her current beau.

"It was Justin Timberlake," Gomez revealed. "But I think I also, I think I liked Lance Bass as well. ... He has pretty eyes."

Unfortunately for Gomez, 'NSYNC were knocked out in a battle against British boy band 5ive in the first round of competition. Luckily, she can still vote for the new wave of boy bands, The Wanted and One Direction.

"It's cool, that's kind of awesome that they're coming back and they legitimately are," Gomez said of boy bands making a comeback. "I like it."

Voting in round two of MTV's Battle of the Boy Bands runs until noon ET on Monday, April 30. Winners are determined by fan votes, so if your favorite band made the cut, make sure you keep voting. Tune in to AMTV and MTV Hits for their boy-band video takeovers each day and make sure to spread the word on Twitter using the hashtag #BBB and like us on Facebook for updates!


Vote for your favorite band, discuss and share on Facebook and Twitter in the MTV Battle of the Boy Bands interactive bracket!

We still have a few more weeks to wait to find out which "Battleship" castmember utters the immortal phrase "You sunk my Battleship!" So in the meantime, we're offering up the exclusive premiere of a very special new clip from the film, along with the stars themselves, for "MTV First: Battleship."

Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgård, Rihanna and Brooklyn Decker will hit MTV's airwaves Monday, April 30, at 7:56 p.m. ET to premiere the exclusive clip, after which they will stick around for a meaty 30 minutes of Q&A on MTV.com hosted by MTV News' Josh Horowitz. Fans can get in on the action immediately by submitting video or text questions via MTV.com or via Twitter (using @MTVNews, hashtag #MTVFirst or #AskBattleship). During "MTV First," the four stars will also answer your Twitter questions and dish on the very latest news.

"Battleship" promises to be a true summer blockbuster in every way. It is an action-packed event movie with an A-list and very attractive cast.

"The movie is really the story of a younger brother (Kitsch) trying to grow up and be a man like [his older brother (Skarsgård)]," director Peter Berg told MTV News. "There just happens to be an alien invasion in the middle of it."

The "Friday Night Lights" director also promised that despite the "Transformers" comparisons, his film is "completely different."

"I think 'Transformers' is awesome," Berg said. "I think [director Michael] Bay did an incredible job with that film and I think when you sit through 4 minutes of 'Battleship,' you'll realize that they are two completely different experiences.

"Obviously, our big bosses who are concerned with making their money back have a vested interested in attaching themselves to other successful films. We don't think about that; we think about making our own movie, and I'm pretty confident that whether you love 'Battleship' or not, the issue of comparison to other films is pretty irrelevant."

The film hits theaters across the country May 18.

Don't forget to join Taylor Kitsch, Rihanna, Alexander Skarsgård and Brooklyn Decker for "MTV First: Battleship" on Monday, April 30, at 7:56 p.m. ET on MTV!

Check out everything we've got on "Battleship."
