Submitted by kara smiroldo from rochester New York usa Date: Thu Dec 23 20:04:35 1999 I don't think that Backstreet Boys will ever stop singing because they are ABSOLUTELY great singers and very very HOT!!! The only group that will probably stop will be Nsync because they are not the best band and they're not sooooo popular like backstreet boys. Submitted by Eowyn MacIvor from Weston FL USA Date: Thu Dec 23 20:01:33 1999 It is very true that "teeny-bopper" bands lose their audiences as they mature, and many of BSB's fans will eventually move on to other things and BSB will no longer be the biggest act in the world. That is the nature of growing up. HOWEVER, I think the BSB have certain things working in their favor for true longevity. Most importantly is their talent! All of the BSB have great voices, and at least a couple of them really stand out (AJ and Brian - No offense to the others!) They pick terrific songs to sing, and as they have gotten older, their choices have matured and gotten more sophisticated. In contrast, New Kids sang very bubble-gum music and had very limited talent. I don't equate BSB to those types of bubblegum bands. Their music is much more R&B influenced, which generally does well with adults. Lastly, BSB is actually pretty popular with adults. I am 27 years old and they are my favorite band which I proudly admit to everyone. I actually hated all the teeny-bopper stuff like New Kids, Debbie Gibson, and Tiffany when I was a teenager! I have gotten quite a few of my friends (from their 20's to their 40's) to listen the Boys and they have bought the CD's too. Sure, a lot of moms are taking their girls to the shows, but talk to those mothers. Quite a large number of them are big fans, too. Look at the contemporary (or lite) singles charts. BSB has been on top. Read Rolling Stone and Entertainment Weekly. Both have called the BSB a group with real talent and a pleasure (though a guilty one). They have the makings of a band who can last awhile, and with God's good graces, they will.

It doesn't matter how old they are, there will always be a large fan base for them. As current fans we will keep the pride alive by loving them no matter how old they get, and they will always be getting new fans as they produce more albums! Keep up the good work guys! ~Emily Submitted by bsbfan from denver CO US Date: Thu Dec 23 19:17:32 1999 Well, I don't really have an opinion for this article. I think the Boys are the best and they rule. I think they difinitelly growning and so are the audience, it shown. I think that it just deppens on the fans and if they keep making good music, the fans will grow bigger and they'll be larger than life. For all of you fans out there: " Keep the Backstreet Boys prive alive" Submitted by Kristine from NYC US Date: Thu Dec 23 18:54:16 1999 I dont think they're goona go and I'm not just sayin this cuz I love bsb. I mean, if the fans realy love the guys, they'll be around for a while. It all depends on the fans and how the guys handle their money and stuff. Theres no time limit to fame, it all just depends on how well you do and how true ur fans are. KTBSPA & Don't let that article be true cuz I know u all love BSB!! Signed, Kristine Submitted by Beth from Menomonee Falls United States of America Date: Thu Dec 23 18:38:29 1999 The article has a point- history is working against the Boys. Forget that I'm a fan- their talent is real, and all those other groups are no contneders. They have the talent, drive, and are growing in the right direction to have real staying power. They were right with the New Kids and the Spice Girls, but look at the Beatles.They started out as an import boy band, but they've still been around as a group and as solo artists. And I think that as time goes on and they grow up more, as well as the fans, their music will continue to grow. The question is- will fans continue to support them, or forget about them?

Date: Thu Dec 23 18:37:52 1999 Hi backstreet.net readers, I think this article is rude and very untrue because the Backstreet Boy'd have alway's been the exception to the Boy Band rule. All newspapers and/or magazines have insulted the Backstreet Boy's in one way or another, yet I wonder why they keep putting pictures and/or articles in them.Maybee it is because they make a lot of money or maybee they are just a bunch of hippacrites how say one thing about the boy's and then go and place pictures and article about them in there magazines. I am a huge BSB fan and I am very hurt that people are saying this based not on facts but on other experiences that have happened in the PAST!. This is not right and if any BSB fan out there agrees with this they are not true backstreet fans and should not be buying any of there cd's, magazines,ect....There are a lot of people out there whp use the backstreet boy's for money.To answer the question on are Backstreet Boy's and EXCEPTION to the boys band rule. The CORRECT answer would be yes and if you don't think so you shouldn't be in this web page. And I would also like to ass that Backstreet BOY'S are also growing very well with ther audiences and attracting an older group of fans such as the Mature Fan Club and many other people I know that are well over the age of 17 as this article said that are not ashamed at all to be BACKSTREET BOY'S FANS!!!!So my conclusion is DON'T be a hippacrite; if you like the Backstreet Boy's don't be ashamed of it, and I hope that everyone reading this realizes how wrong this writer(of the article) is in insulting our wonderful Backstreet Boy's.... P.s, In my opinion the Backstreet Boy's don't sound just like N'stin k(sorry n'sync fans), 5ive, LFO or and other band out there they have there own unique voice and they will alway's be #1 in my heart they aren't just a fab to me...I love Backstreet Boy's!!!!!Keep the Backstreet pride alive all throughout 2000 all the way till 2020 lets prove these writers wrong and show them how different the Backstreet Boy's are Submitted by Katie Hamilton from Stockton CA USA Date: Thu Dec 23 18:05:51 1999 I dont think BSB will be forgotten, they might fizzle a little bit, but they will never be forgotten Submitted by Jessica from Courtice Ontario CANADA Date: Thu Dec 23 17:33:48 1999 My opinion on this article is that the Backstreet Boys are not a BOY BAND. They are a very talented individuals who each have a gift of singing. I know that their music will live on for generations and generations to come because the Backstreet Boys vocals...now that's real music! I've loved the Backstreet Boys for almost 5 years now and will continue loving them forever. I have their NEW and both of their OLD albums (I also have the Japanese BSB album), 12 singles, 11 floppy disks FULL of pix and info from the Internet (a very useful source of information!), 14 video tapes FULL of all their music videos and T.V appearances, 1 T-shirt, 2 official sticker books, all 7 of your BSB home videos, over 500 pictures/posters of you and the other BSB boys, 3 official BSB magazines, and 6 BSB necklaces individuals and group! This is how much I truly LOVE and ADORE them! It's time we all learn to accept who the Backstreet Boys really are and have come out to be...successful! I wish them all the best now and forever! Let's KTBSPA all you BSB fans! Peace out... Luv yaz, Jessica First Page - Previous - Next - Last - Add Entry - Other Topics - Message Boards - Exit Page 34 of 50
