Let's forget about the Grammys for now. The BSBs were #1 on the Top 40 Countdown last Sunday. MILLENNIUM went up two notches on Billboard. On the Adult Contemp. chart, the BSB have TWO singles: "Show Me The Meaning" and "I Want It That Way" are both in the top 10. Our Boys are doing just fine. The important thing is they are providing us with wonderful music. I listen to MILLENNIUM or BACKSTREET BOYS every day. Their music enriches my life! I read that the BSB are going to go off to a retreat somewhere and start getting ready to record. They'll be away from everything and just enjoy making beautiful music. So let's look forward to their next album and continued quality music from the BSB. The commercial acceptance of the Grammys doesn't mean that much, nor does TRL (which is so inaccurate--anybody could hire a bunch of people to vote on TRL. It's not necessarily the fans voting). What counts is how their fans feel about the BSB. I'm with them for the long term.

I think our Boys really deserved to win a Grammy, cuz Millennium is a great album! Submitted by TDawn from Wpg. Mb. Canada Date: Wed Mar 1 02:53:37 2000 I think that they should have given SANTANA a lifetime achievement award .... or some 'comeback' award -- but not to have them dominate and take all the awards!! Lets see how many fans would chase after the band -- fly across the country to hear them -- sell out concert tickets in 1 hr. -- and sell as many C/D's and stuff as the BSB have done!! Really, back to back I can't see how Santana got so many awards ..... BSB has a much larger following ~ young and older alike love their music and are listening to it and buying it!! Let's get real .... does anyone agree!? I flew across the country with my daughter to a BSB Millennium concert (last October) and I can't imagine doing that for a Santana concert. BSB music rocks! Let's hear it for BSB eventho they didn't win those awards -- they have won many 'heart awards' in the past years and years to come!

THREE WORDS FOR YOU PEOPLE... NICK'S HOT HAIRCUT!! OMIGOD I COULD DIE!! HE'S SO HOT I COULD SCREAM!! GOOD CHOICE ON YOUR PART NICK FOR DOING THAT!! HOTTAY! Submitted by Mia from PA USA Date: Tue Feb 29 21:48:09 2000 BSB did a wonderful job at the Grammys. It's obvious that they have grown as artists. But the truth is, the Grammy people were very smart. It's not just about the awards, but it's a tv show. And they needed the ratings. By nominating pop stars as BSB, Britney, and Christina, the young viewers would tune in, thereby raising the ratings. The Grammy voters never intended BSB to win any awards. They did a great job performing. They sang that medley beautifully. Why didn't the audience give THEM a standing ovation? Why did Santana get one even though he just did (not sang) a song that is very overplayed? Submitted by Katy from Houston Texas USA Date: Tue Feb 29 21:44:25 2000 Hi ppl, I just posted my p.o.v. about the Grammys...and I got to thinking...any of you BSB fans that have scanners, and were lucky enough to see the Boys in concert and took pix, would you like to trade concert pix online? I went to their show last night and I just got some of my pix developed...some were kinda fuzzy (it was sorta dark) but some came out alright. So I'm going to scan them ASAP (as soon as all are developed, I'm also trading with some girls that went to the show tonight who had better seats) and we can trade online. Wouldn't that be cool? Just send me an email and we'll talk about it. We can even trade some info about our concerts if u want. KTBSPA!!! ~kat~ Submitted by Katy from Houston Tx United States Date: Tue Feb 29 21:33:30 2000 I saw the Grammys and it's a shame that the most talked about thing off of it was not true musical talent but the "dress" that Jennifer Lopez wore. Jenn...you now know what dress you can use for your next album cover... You might sell millions of albums, but we truly know why you're so popular. As for Santana's winning all the Grammys...good job dude, savor it now because next year, Backstreet's Back. I saw them last night in concert...and they were spectacular. Why is it that people dis them? Because they are a bunch of hypocrites. Why? Because they would never call Boyz To Men a boy band, they call them a R&B vocal group...not a 'black boy band.' They're a bunch of guys that sing wonderful love songs. So do BSB. But why the boy band label? They're a pop vocal group...and talented! So what if they have young fans? What...you wanted 70 yr. olds to be the only ones to enjoy those youthful, talented, gorgeous guys? And musically..you can buy their albums without having to worry about explicit language in the songs. I believe Santana deserved some of the awards he received, but sometimes the Grammy people go over the line...and I think this was one of them. Backstreet Boys, you definitely deserved one. KTBSPA, ~Kat~ Submitted by Jennifer from New Orleans Louisiana USA Date: Tue Feb 29 21:03:34 2000 Ok, First of all, the Grammys were just what I expect them to be every year...totally unfair. I can understand Santana getting an award for something, but not every single solitary award!! The boys deserved Album of the Year without any question. That is the best album to come out in years, and they never get any recognition for the talent they have. Critics believe them to be just another pop band with looks and no talent...Well, WAKE UP! These guys are the real deal and deserve respect! Well, one way to think about it, if BSB is still together when they are 45 or so, they'll be nominated for 10 awards and win all of those! Guess you have to be ancient to be honored for the hard work you do...As for the guys performance, it was incredible! You could see how much they enjoyed being there and they're so gracious that it didnt even matter to them that they lost...they were honored to be nominatd. They leave the griping up to us :) LOL Submitted by Babydoll from B'Game USA Date: Tue Feb 29 20:38:09 2000 Ok. First off, the performance was absolutely beautiful. They sounded great and when they backed-up Elton John, WOW. Next, Santana deserves what he got though I think that BSB should have at least gotten "Song of the Year" and "Album of the Year." It's not about the album sales, I know. But, the Grammys shouldn't exclude the top seller for 1999. The Backstreet Boys have worked damn hard to get to where they are and even though I'm glad that Santana won all those awards (he's from my hometown), I honestly don't think he should've gotten all those Grammys. Then again, who knows? Maybe next year, BSB will be nominated for even more and will win. Submitted by Chrissy from Alma Ontario Canada Date: Tue Feb 29 20:32:31 2000 I would just like to say that Santana didn't deserve all those awards. The Academy proved themselves to be once again predictable. They go with old favorites over newer artists. You know someone/thing has done the same thing one too many times when DJs will tell you who got all the Grammys, before the ceremony has even started. The same thing happened last year with Lauren Hill. I guess whoever is nominated the most wins all the awards. Next year, give me a list of nominees and I'll give you a list of winners, a month before the show. First Page - Previous - Next - Last - Add Entry - Other Topics - Message Boards - Exit Page 18 of 50
