Maybe *NSTINK will but the Backstreet Boys have created a new kind of music. their music just makes u wanna get up and dance. They are a legend and always will be. I love them not only cuz of their looks, but how they sing from their hearts. It is so sweet of them to write a song for their fans and a song for their moms. do u see nsync doing that? NOOOOOO. wake up people. NSYNC is just a group of kinda cute looking guys trying to sing when they can't. they pretend to care about their fans. they can't find their own identity so they decided to copy off of the one and only Backstreet Boys. NSync are probably just there for the money. BSB don't try to be what they're not. They worked hard and struggled a lot on their way to fame. And when people started liking their music, NSUCK came out with the same kind of music(which wasn't all that great), adn people were like "oh wow look another group of cute(not) guys!" Backstreet actually worked for their success, and they completely deserve it. NSTUPID just came out at a time when everyone liked pop and rock. so they don't deserve it at all. But anyway no matter what happens, to me the Backstreet Boys will always be number 1. I love them with all my heart and soul. i could and would die for them. I love you guys! KTBSPA!!!!

Sure he was looking out there to make a group but one pretty much existed when he found them. they just needed some backing to go into a studio. They have all ways sung with out music but they like singing with music. They have good enough voices to pull any song out and they could sing it well. They wanted to learn how to actually play instruments from the begining. Kevin and Nick allready could play an instrument each they they learned more of them as the years went on. They had the knoledge of how to sing and sustain it. many of them had already taken dance lessons in the past. The first three boys were able in the begining to say if they hated smething instead of always being told you will do this and this and this. They voted on the last two members of the group. They do not look or sound or dress alike. They don't Pretend to be something they aren't. I remember when New kids came out I thought that they were faking every thing. They don't give off a fake attitude of I am so humble or any thing like that type of thing. They are humble. they worry about not being humble and appreciative enough. They don't even use a recorded track as the main way to get their music for the shows. They have a live band and that is soo cool. The only reason they even have a band is so the can dance and possibly get to shake hands with the fans. They interact with eachother so easily that you would never think that any thing that comes out of their mouths was scripthed or ont an original thought they are so secure in their position that they don't mind being immitated and or made fun of.by people like Eminem and Blink 182. They don't like always being told what to do so they do it themselves like coming up with their own video concepts. They are not afraid of making a fashion feauxpa and they can joke around about it later. Tey admit to having girl friends and even fianc'es even if guys in "boybands" are supposed to deny it and or keep it secret if they do. congratulations Brian and Kevin. They help design their sets for the tours. They design their own sets. They help their siblings' careers because they don't want their siblings to make the same mistakes they made early on in their career. They make charities when they are ill or after a family member dies so that the less fortunate that have family members that have the same disease can get the medical care they need. The average boy band may do some of these things but not all of them and not nearly as well as a BSB has done them.

They are supported because of their musical talent. Take Britney for example, many think she's pretty but I personally don't think that's her singing. That's a pop-fakey. Now take Santana, he's not cute but boy did he rule the charts for quite a while! The same with Backstreet Boys, sure they're quite attractive but that's not the first thing people notice (if they do, they are not true BSB fans). Remember, it's not their attractive faces singing, it's their heart and soul and years of determination. Submitted by Jammer from El Paso TX USA Date: Fri Jun 9 01:01:16 2000 Well, lately I can't help but feeling that BSB are loosing people (NO!!!!!!) but this happens all the time (remember the self-named album) and I really do think they will last a long time and that their music will be remembered not by only little kids but by older audiences (that's us people years from now). Just because N'Sync has sold a few more albums than BSB and there are many more boy groups righ now, doesn't mean Backstreet Boys will pass by like a tumble weed on a breezy day. there music is special, it's funky, fun, danceable, heart-warming, and just special. I say they should make a new genre of music and list the Boys under it. I do agree with that not everything lasts forever but you know what, many things do! And their music will last and have a special place in our hearts. Keep the Pride Alive fans! Submitted by Ariel from Madison Wisconsin United States Date: Mon May 22 23:16:57 2000 I really think that the Backstreet Boys will always be proving themselves to the critics. Because they were labeled a "boy band" they will be thought of that first. I believe they are trying to appeal to a more mature audience. Sorry to say, but our age range is kind of picky and we tend to roll with the trends. If they can appeal to a more mature and adult audience they may come in and out of the music world, but they will have more lasting power. *NSync when you watch them perform, they perform to a younger audience. I'm not bashing them, but I do believe that it is doubtful that *NSync will last. As long as the boys keep improving by each cd, there shouldn't be a problem. They're not a bomb that has days and minutes ticking away.

I agree that the other phony boy bands will eventually fade(coughcoughN'SYNCcoughcough) but the bsb are one of the most talented groups ever and true talent always lasts. This lady should have a reality check. keep the backstreet pride alive!!! Submitted by Vallene from Puyallup Washingron USA Date: Wed May 17 20:44:44 2000 I think that lady who said all that crap about the backstreet boys not being around for very much longer doesn't know what she is talking about. Yeah you can't keep listening to just one group for years and years, but with the Backstreet Boys it's a totally different story. For each album they come out with, they keep on getting better and better. Soon I will be 16, and I'm sure that when I'm old and have kids, I will still be liking the Backstreet Boys. I am what you call a "true BSB fan" and so far I have been listening to the Millennium CD for 8 1/2 months straight not missing one single day, and ya know what, I'm not even tired of it. Try doing that with NSync!!! That lady doesn't know what a good boy band is when she hears one and must realize that there are true fans out there that won't just wake up one day and decide that "Oh today I hate the Backstreet Boys." It's just not gonna happen. Sorry lady. Submitted by Shannon (Nick's girl) from Ormond Beach FL USA Date: Fri May 5 19:21:34 2000 I think this is INSANITY! We all KNOW that BSB will be around for a long time. Look how long they've lasted already! They're growing with their fans, yes. But they are also gaining more older/younger fans as they mature. They have a far more diverse audience than NStYNC ever will! They aren't just a quote-unquote "boy-band", they are singers, real people! They have so much talent, how can anyone think that they'll be gone any time soon? I know that the girl groups are getting more popular, and I'm happy b/c PYT happens to be some of my best friends, and they are really talented, as is Mandy Moore, but that doesn't mean that this will push the BSB out of the spotlight. There's room for everyone, altho I do admit there are way too many untalented boy bands out there...not mentioning any names (*cough cough* NStYNC, 98, WESTLIFE, MYTOWN, NO AUTHORITY, EYC, etc.)In my opinion, the BSB is here to stay, forever and ever and ever and ever.....
