Some of it was good to know, but I don't know if some it is true. I thought I heard that their new album was coming out at the end of the year? I don't know now. Well, whenever it does come out, I will defenitely buy it. i have been waiting awhile. I don't think that Black and Blue was that bad. I liked it, and so did a lot of other people. I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens. Whatever happens I am sure that their fans will support them 100%!!

ABOUT THIS ARTICLE, WHICH I CONSIDER VERY REAL, let's say that will be lovely if we buy more one copy of the next backstreetalbum. Do it is wac k that nsync always sell more albums.I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT IT. Submitted by Jessica from USA Date: Sun Sep 1 16:53:44 2002 Hey again. If they did talk to mtv, it'll probably appear on mtv.com maybe tomorrow (monday)? So we'll know for sure then. But I had thought the release date had been pushed back to early 2003. If it is in december, that means a new single well be out in a month or so! But again it might just be a rumor. I guess we'll see. Black and Blue was a failure???!!! I thought it was great. Just cuz it sold less its considered a failure? If Jive had promoted it more or released more than 3 singles it would've sold more. It was released a while after millennium so it wasn't that much of a rush job, and they wrote a lot of songs on it.

That's what I'm asking you! Submitted by anna from vancity Canada Date: Sun Sep 1 02:07:38 2002 OMG, IF THATS TRUE, THEN IM THE HAPPIEST PERSON IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW.LOL. WERE'D YOU GET IT? I ERALLY HOPE IT AINT A RUMOR...hehe Submitted by Jessica from USA Date: Sat Aug 31 23:16:18 2002 I think its a rumor. Where did you get it? Unless its from a place like mtv or their official site, or even here, it's probably false. Submitted by Abigail from Canada Date: Sat Aug 31 15:36:58 2002 IS THIS TRUE!!!!!!!!! I NEED AN ANSWER QUICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OR IT' IS A JOKE?!!!!!!!!!!!!! "NEW YORK (8/30/02) –The boys are back for a breath of fresh air. Recently, the Backstreet Boys, Kevin, AJ, Brian, Nick and Howie sat down with MTV for small talk. Records, babies, and everything in between. Stepping back into the spotlight after almost two years since their last original album, the boys are here with a fresh new sound, putting their troubles behind them. T heir last album, “Black & Blue” was a failure in the eyes of many. Kevin Richardson says “We put a lot of effort into this new album. We took our time with it. ‘Black & Blue’ was hurried along by our managers, which didn’t give us enough time to give it our best.” Due out December 17, 2002, the boys are back with their full-length album, “Incredible”. We wanted this album to really say to the fans you know, ‘hey we love you guys’ because since Black and Blue was released, we’ve been through a lot. Our fans are absolutely incredible, and they’ve stuck by us through so much.” Says the engaged AJ McLean. Along with the album, fans can expect another tour, which will start in Europe and make its way to North and South America, and hopefully to Asia again. “We keep telling people we’ll have a worldwide tour. We actually haven’t, it’s kind of funny. This time we hope that we’ll make it to most places we haven’t visited in a long time,” stated Brian Littrell, soon to be a father. “We haven’t visited in three or four years. We started out there and we’re going back.” Not only will a tour, but an entirely new line of merchandise, such as school supplies, clothing posters, and plenty of other goodies accompany the album. “We’re really looking forward to this album. We mixed all of our tastes of music, so you’ll find dance and hip-hop, along with a rock-edge, and some mature, Elton John-type music. It’s going to be fun,” says Howie Dorough. “We have a song called ‘Calling Me,’ which will get you up to dance. We’re also using the song AJ wrote, ‘Happy,’ which we know has a lot of meaning to him.” “Hopefully we can put these rumors of us splitting behind us,” says Nick Carter, who is promoting his solo album, “Now of Never” due out October 29. The first single due out is named “Can’t Believe,” which combines up-beat dance tempos with strong guitar chords and a heavy drum beat. “It’s like nothing we’ve done before,” says AJ. “We’re changing. It’s a whole new Backstreet.” " Submitted by JoJo from USA Date: Sat Aug 31 14:04:48 2002 Request Nick Carter's "Help Me" on B96 by clicking on the link. Right now Justin is number one there. Let's change that. This is also the station that helped Willa spread her rumors about Nick. We need to get Nick on that countdown. Vote for his song at http://www.b96.com/music/ Submitted by Ana from Tucson AZ USA Date: Fri Aug 30 23:45:52 2002 Omg guys!! this is totally off subject...But i just heard Justins single for the first time on radio...And it is soo gay! I honestly was afraid that he was gonna have like this kick ass song..but i'm so relieved it Honestly sucks!! Its #2 on the damn radio countdown though. Oh well anyway.. I was laughing so hard when i heard it..Hes trying to be Britney!! Lol...i was like..omg was he really trying to talk all sexy in his song!?!? I think its lame when Britney does her breathy sexy talking songs..But when a guy does it..Its just not cute!! Lol..sorry just had to get that off my chest. Nicks song is way better!!! KTBPA!! Submitted by anna from Canada Date: Thu Aug 29 17:11:42 2002 Ok guys I dunno about you but I am soo FU*KIN scared right now its not even funny. Im actualy scared. I am NOT ever gonna say that I think that bsb is over because I dont want to even think of that...and i dont belive it. I totally think that they can recover and get all the love back, i mean...WE ARE HERE ARENT WE? we're here for them...and they are here for us. OMG i love them so much and some of you may just think..oh its just a really good band. But I have grown up with bsb ever since i was 9 (almost 15 now) and they have seriously become this huge part of my life...honestly it would be just as bad as losing a person to me. But these days Ive been hearing so much shit and it seriously freaks the shit out of me that i wanna cry. And yeah you can say Im scared of facing the facts n crap, and yeah i guess i sorta am. But NO MATTER WHAT, i will be there..like I always have.. ever since i saw them dancing in the rain. From that moment on I was in love. But anyways, I just wanted to ask you guys to PLEASE just KTBSPA cause they need us. and i need them..alot...lol...whoa i never knew I could be so dam mushy..WHILE LISTENING TO EMINEM..lol..i had to get that off my chest though. And please also...dont listen to the media..they have mostly been wronge from day 1. Who cares. Ok im gonna go watch some bsb now..ciao bsb n shady 4 life xoxo anna Submitted by Kristin from Minnesota USA Date: Thu Aug 29 13:38:56 2002 I am totally supportive of nick's cd. I think he sounds great and he has a right to go outside the BSB realm and do his thing while he has time. However, it will make me extremely sad if he is not part of the next bsb album. Each member is a crucial part of the group, and it just wouldn't be the same if one of them left, or was replaced. I also want to take a second and remind everyone why we love the boys. Like others have said, it is for their music. Honestly, who cares if NSYNC get more publicity and kiss the media's ass? Let them have more fans, that just means more BSB for those of us who are true fans. Just be cool and keep it real. BSB are obviously here because of us and we are here for them. KTBSPA Good luck Nick in all you do, and we have our hearts set on a great album. Also good luck to BSB and come back with a bang. Show them who's boss! Submitted by Yzzy from Madrid Spain Date: Thu Aug 29 13:36:02 2002 Hi!! Well, after having read this thing about the 'lost boys' I must say there are enough things that make sense now to me but I must say I'm also quite angry because of the title 'the lost boys' yes in the last two years we've heared less of the bsb but I think in this article anyone can say that bsb have worked very hard along the way, N*sinc had it much easier I don#t say that that's bad but I think we should keep on supporting bsb and in the end what counts is the music, and really Bsb have done a lot for their fans maybe even more than N+sinc have done. I think Nick is doing alright by going solo but I thing it's hard to compare bsb with the eagles, why should Nick quit the bsb just because of his solo career? I support the five of them and I confide that they know what they do and that they love their fans and they will be there for us!!! KTBSPA!!! Yzzy Submitted by Debbie Hawkins from Dover Delaware USA Date: Thu Aug 29 13:23:03 2002 I kinda feel like BSB are gonna be over. It's sad to say, but they've just made so many mistakes, and they never got to do things the way they wanted. If they can recover that would be great, but Nick really screwed up. I know he wants to do his own thing, but staying with the Firm when everyone else left is just plain selfish, especially to release his album before the group album. He doesn't even know how good his album will do. People will only buy it initially because it's Nick, but that's all unless it's really worth it. I just really hope that Backstreet Boys aren't going under. Submitted by Kelly from Ontario Canada Date: Thu Aug 29 11:52:45 2002 Uh, I don't really have a comment about this Lost Boys thing.....I just didn't know how to contact you any other way....I just read on people.com that Brian and Leigh Anne are expecting a baby boy by the end of this year..congrats to them and God bless! (hope the baby gets his daddy's looks) Submitted by Fan4Life from USA Date: Thu Aug 29 10:45:35 2002 thank you karly for agreeing with me! i sometimes feel i am the only one with this idea that the music is what counts and that the boys deserve to do what they want with no further drama created by the fans when they already have enough by the media! so, thank you!

Congrats to both Leighanne and Brian. They are going to have a Backstreet Baby!! Submitted by marie from France Date: Thu Aug 29 08:16:15 2002 yes it's true the first baby backstreet is coming.It's a boy.You can check it on the Leighanne and Brian sites.Leigh sent emails.I'm soooo happy for them Submitted by marielamensch2002@yahoo.fr from France Date: Thu Aug 29 08:11:10 2002 hey I have one thing to say:ktbpa Ok,Nsync sucks:Justin(i think his fans are taking more care about his look than about anyting else,but ok)and JC are talented but they are the only ones singing!The rest of the group only dance around and don't have solo parts.Can you call that a group?i think bsb make real music.Nsync are only famous in the States but not many people likes or even knows them in Europe. Some fans are judjing the boys but I think none of us(or most of us) do not realize how hard the music industry can be;I think a lot of people wants as much money as possible and that sometimes includes lying and stealing(like Pearlman did)You have to take care who you are hanging with,who you trust and you have to fight for your rights and I think bsb are trying their best.OK,they made mistakes but who doesn't?True fans support them.They are there for us and we are there for them.
