Not much is changing. Their so gay. Submitted by Ana from Tucson AZ USA Date: Wed Aug 28 03:29:20 2002 Okay..I think all the record sales stuff is sooo stupid...People look at how much they sold during the first week...thats stupid..cuz it means BSB probably Sold more than NSYnc in a two week or three week span, but no one notices... ANyway..I'm SIck and tired of NSYNC getting props they don't deserve..Justin is the only one who can sing..or who even has a voice close enough to be considered an R&B sound. He just tries to imitate Michael Jackson. (ATleast everyone gets to sing in BSB) Just because they did that one friggin song GONE doesn't mean theyre friggin Kings of Rythem and BLues.. I mean have you all heard the CELEBRITY album? lol Its a friggin joke..trying to act like their G's! There are so many songs i wish BSB would have released as singles cuz they sound way more R&Bish than Nsyncs crappy songs! I dunno..i'm not trying to bitch about them just cuz i like BSB..I'm honestly just frustrated to see them sitting all high and mighty..getting props they don't deserve! Submitted by Get real from Up Yours Make 7 USA Date: Wed Aug 28 02:34:41 2002 Ok, so basically what some of you need to do is realize that things over in the Backstreet Camp ain't so hunky-dory. It doesn't make you any less of a BSB fan. Reality is this: things aren't perfect between the guys and to be honest I don't think they'll have the patience to be around much longer. I think they'll all wanna get on with their lives. The article was real. Deal with it. I've been a BSB fan for seven years, and I love them with every single fiber of my being, but, I don't think they'll wanna stick around much longer. Submitted by anna from vancity Canada Date: Wed Aug 28 02:12:00 2002 Blah, Blah, Blah... MIA YOU SUCK. dont pretend you know everything...cuz honestly hun i dont think you do. How do you know nsync didnt bribe Jive, i belive they did in a way. Now Im not trying to be one of those oh i hate nsync and love sbb ppl. Well I dont really care about Nsync too much, but you cant sit here and say nsync didnt have an effect on bsb because you and i and everyone else know that they did. But from the sounds of it you love nsync. well go 4 it, no ones stopping you. And I dunno dude, also from the sounds of it..it sounds like you dont really think too much of bsb. I mean yeah, nick n brian mightnot hang out every day of their friggen lives..but that doesnt mean they aint friends. they have fights just like any regular frienddship, and you think that just becaus the media doesnt tell you whenver they hang out that they dont? they probably do. The media doesnt know everythink k? BSB will do fine, and its people who think like you bring everyone else down. aniways ktbspa..plz. bsb n shady 4 life Submitted by mel williams from brookhaven ms USA Date: Tue Aug 27 23:52:11 2002 hey this article is FULL of errors and any bsb fan knows the truth....evertime bsb comes out with a new album they say bsb's back...(where did they go??) the guys are closer than ever, nick admitted in a recent radio interview that he hasn't spoken to brian since they met last in atlanta recording demos, he said he has no arguments with brian...brain said after recording rock and jock for mtv that he is proud of nick and behind him 100%....bsb sold double that of 'nsync and they are considered failures...they have won countless international awards THIS year...bsb is not over, but busy recording an album...they obviousley need the down time right now ..they have been going 100 mph since they started and it's been 10 yrs...they know the pressures of a new album and want it to be a good one...so every one chill out..and don't believe every thing you read!!!! ktbspa Submitted by Andria from Hasbrouck Heights USA Date: Tue Aug 27 21:59:41 2002 I don't know what true or whats not b/c well you never know what is true online but all i have to say is i can't wait for either Nick's cd or the Backstreet Boys album come out...i am going to buy the new backstreet cd wether it is with nick or not and if nick isn't in the group anymore then thats his dicision and his mistake ... that doesn't mean i am going to be happy about it but reality is reality and shit happens...i hope that its not true b/c nick is key to the backstreet boysand he has a killer vioce but not even all his fans or anyone else can make him stay if he doesn't want to... and about the guys fighting and not agreeing or maybe not talking right now..what the hell do you expect their all people it was bound to happen some time people fight and diagree on things, i fight with my friends and we may not talk for a month but you will either make up oand discuss it or ruin what you worked so hard for its the way of life they will either get over it or they will quit the group they will decide...i do hope that that they stay together b/c they are one of the most talented groups in the world Submitted by BS Fans from USA Date: Tue Aug 27 21:35:01 2002 All I wanna said now is BSB is not breaking up, they will be back and better than ever. Nick's solo is coming out soon and make sure you support his album. I just wanna said that I always love the BSB........... Keep The Back Street Pride Alive. Submitted by Donna from Highland Springs VA USA Date: Tue Aug 27 20:41:36 2002 I just want to say BSB is not going anywhere they did say they will bring out a new album looks like it wont be until spring but they are making a new album. So people need to stop saying they are broken up because they would tell there fans if that is true. Look at what happened to aj they told us that so i think they would tell us if they were not making another album. Plus howie and kevin has said they were and wanted to go on tour when there new album comes out. So i just want to say BSB is here to stay and if you dont like it then do not come on there site and say bad things about them because we do not do that to you. Thanks BSB i will always love you Donna Submitted by Erin from Canada Date: Tue Aug 27 20:23:26 2002 meghan I think you should get a life. if u hate the message boards then why do u even come here? no1 says you hafta read what other people say. u hate the message boards thats your problem. so wut if Justine's name keeps comin' up alot..HELLO..SHE'S TRYING TO REMIND PEOPLE TO KTBSPA..DO U KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?? It means KEEP THE BACKSTREET PRIDE ALIVE...obviously I dont think you do that.... Submitted by Ashley from CA USA Date: Tue Aug 27 19:25:25 2002 U know BSB have been around for 10 years, they are closer thaen they have ever been!!!!!! Just cause they maybe disagree with some things doesn't mean they're gonna break up, i mean come on even we get into fights with our best friends, and family! They're just being humans and fights happen!!!! Some of u need to stop believing these rumors, i refuse to believe any of them until i hear it out of our boys mouths! And have they said they were breaking up? NO for like what the millonth time? honestly. BSB will be around forever,and i am right behind them 100%!! As for Nick's solo CD i'm excited, there's some really good songs on it, and Nick is completly happy, so come lets support Nick and BSB!!! KTBSPA baby!! =D Submitted by Lorin from USA Date: Tue Aug 27 17:40:24 2002 I must disagree with whom ever said that the Backstreet Boys may not be like brothers anymore. They are and always will be like brothers, that doesn't just change. Jive can't change the closeness they have, nobody can. You all are making a bigger deal out of this than it is. I just read an interview that Nick had yesterday (I think) and here's what he had to say about the Internet-the source for almost all the Backstreet rumors... "The Internet is the best gossip in the world. You can believe some of them, and you cant believe some of them." Than the DJ asked him which should they believe? And Nick said.... "Believe what comes out of my mouth." So As to the rumors... -Did Nick tell you that Backstreet will be back with a new album? Yes -Did Nick tell you that his solo effort will not effect the guys? Yes -Did Nick tell you that the Backstreet Boys are NOT breaking up, and that he just wanted to do something on his own? Again it's a yes. So what are you people worrying for? Further more he's happy--this will be good for the NEW Backstreet CD. Making the solo album before the next Backstreet album was a great idea. And you wanna know why? Because it all gave everyone a chance to be on their own-to be by themselves. Everyone needs a little along time. This will not only help themselves as individuals but as a group. Now I don't know about all of you guys but I think I am going to relax listen to my Backstreet CDs, watch them in concert, and support all of their dreams ... including Nick's solo album and the Backstreet Boys as a whole. For those true fans don't ever forget that the guys will always, always need you, so don't give up on them. KTBSPA Submitted by Cori from Philadelphia PA USA Date: Tue Aug 27 16:50:11 2002 Well...I haven't read the whole thread, but my basic opinion is is that #1 - Kevin isn't making many friends in the Industry, regardless of him saying everyone was nice *personally*, and #2 - Nick needs to do what Nick needs to do; otherwise it'll only get more resentful later on down the road. The "boys" are settling down now and they've been working their tails off for *years* -- they deserve a break. I think we all know their personalities well enough to know that none of them would ever publically air their differences. It's not professional and they have always, if nothing else, been professional. Perhaps they're not "like brothers" anymore, but things change. More than anything, I think the *industry* is getting between them and Jive is doing everything in its power to make some kind of rivalry between Justin and Nick to boost sales. As far as the Firm is concerned...yeah, *personally* I think Nick should have walked for my own moral reasons, but we're not (all) in the indusrty and there's a line between friendship and business. The boys are professionals and I truly believe they understand that. Again, my own two cents...Not claiming to be an authority or anything. I just think the industry is getting to them more than Nick's extra curricular activities and everyone's (read: the media) making an issue more than the group is. Peace, Cori Submitted by Mandy from FL. USA Date: Tue Aug 27 16:13:12 2002 It's me again anyway, I can't believe some people are critizing the backstreet boys for just trying to take a needed break!!!! They have been working very hard since the word go. And i think they deserve a break!!!! It's not like they haven't said they were gonna take a while off! They've been saying they were gonna do there own stuff then come back together and make their album!!!!!!!!! So what if brian and nick argued??? they are BEST friends and the backstreet boys will always be together!!! Just because Nick's doing something he's been wanting to do!!! i don't neccessarily agree with Nick on staying with the firm but that's the choice he made so i will SUPPORT HIM!!! when any bsb or Nick Carter songs (albums)and stuff come out let's ALL buy it and promote it!!!!! I'm making all my friends and family buy Nick's new CD i might even buy more than one!!!!!Heck, i'm even making posters advertising Nick's album and single!! spread the word and remember Keep The Backstreet Pride Alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Submitted by Jessica from USA Date: Tue Aug 27 15:06:33 2002 There was an interview with Howie I think last year and he said the new bsb album will be released this September, but obviously it got delayed or something but now I'm hearing the new bsb will be out at the beginning of next year, Jan or Feb maybe (although it'll probably get delayed too) so I don't think we have to wait that long! Submitted by anna banana from COWTOWN USA USA Date: Tue Aug 27 15:01:02 2002 i've heard all this tuff before and i just think that the Boys need to get some music out cuz i'm missing em real bad right now. Submitted by Daisy from USA Date: Tue Aug 27 14:54:33 2002 Hey Mia, I don't think they meant that when they said bsb sold 5 million worldwide, they meant the preorders of the stores. Because for the first week sales in America (or is it canada/ america combined?) was 1.5 million (I think, right? or more than that) and I had heard that preordering from the stores for it was much more than that, like 3 million or more? If they had meant for the worldwide sales to be the preordering than that 3 million would be included, meaning that all of the stores in the world except for northamerica preordered only 2 million conbined. It can't be only that little, can it, because BSB is really big (I think bigger) in south america, australia, and japan and europe, if you watch the Around the World Documentary which took place right before the release of Black and Blue. I mean, the majority of Backstreet fans aren't just in the US. But I get what you mean about preordering for Black and Blue backfiring because I was going to buy Millennium the first week out but a lot of stores were sold out of it, and for Black and Blue there were like shelves and shelves of it everywhere. Submitted by Lorin from USA Date: Tue Aug 27 14:48:37 2002 For any of you who have friends (Which I hope would be all of you) you know that sometimes you have fall outs with your friends. Are the guys NOT aloud to do the same? Are they not human? Because from the looks of them they look 100% human, and like all humans they have their good and their bad days. It's not a big deal when they do. It doesn't mean the end of a group, it doesn't mean the end of a friendship, it's just a fall out ... in the end everything gets fixed and everything is okay. So what if Brian and Nick fought, Bri may not agree with Nick releasing a solo album 100% but if I know anything about Brian I know that he will support Nick, and I know that he does. They are best friends, and a fight is not going to change that. Not only that, The Backstreet Boys and the *N'Sync fans need to stop worrying about the groups breaking up--listen to Brian, Kevin, Nick, Howie, and AJ (BSB- obviously) and Justin, Chris, Lance, JC, and Joey, they are the source, they know the real deal. And according to both groups they are here to stay, so why are you worrying? You are listening to the media and it saddens me to know that they are stopping you from listening to the guys. Let go of what you hear and support your favorite guys. Be there for them like they are for you. If they didn't care about music, about each other, and about us the new Backstreet album would not be in the working process. KTBSPA... Submitted by Jessica from USA Date: Tue Aug 27 14:38:28 2002 Hey don't insult blonde haired people (although i'm not blonde myself) As for the tension between Brian and Nick, I thought Nick was Brian's best friend, and Brian Nick's out of all the BSB. And they've been friends for like 10 years, so what if they have a fight or something sooner or later? And we don't even know it's true. I think it's nice that Nick's doing his solo rock/pop thing (even nicer that help me's creaming justin on radio stations) As for nobody saying that nsync is breaking up, I don't think that's true. I have friends who are nsync fans and they're worried about them breaking up just as much as I am about bsb. Personally I think (not that i care about justin or nsync or anything) Justin shouldn't have gone solo- I mean he's nsync's lead singer and his new hiphop like single is basically the same sound as nsync's and it's not like he's expressing a part of him that he doesn't get to with nsync. Submitted by ajshoney from Chicagp Illinois USA Date: Tue Aug 27 13:29:41 2002 All I really want to say is DAMN! I really didn't think there would be so much tension between our boys. In a way, I think Nicky was wrong in staying with The Firm. If he noticed that they screwed everyone else over, what makes him think the would treat him any better. I love Nicky to death, but possibly the blonde hair is gettin to him. All of us as fans, the only thing we can really do is hope and pray the BSB stay as one. Keep your heads up guys, all will be well. "No on can ever compare to what we are as five..." ~*Brian Submitted by anna from london United Kingdom Date: Tue Aug 27 13:02:04 2002 that article really opened my eyes. i mean i knew that the industry was ruthless but i didn't know that they would care more about the money than the artist's welfare. i mean come on if it wasn't FOR them then they wouldn't HAVE any money!!! what a bunch of DICKS!!! also when i heard about brian giving nick an ultimatum i thought yeah whatever as if they're BEST FRIENDS FOR GOD SAKE!! but now that i've read that i think that he did say that but in the heat of the moment kinda thing, i don't think he meant it. ok last thing then, i'll shut up. the fellas have always said that they would eventually go off and do their own solo thing and they would surpport each other and then they would re-group. now that it looks like that's happeneing it'll be intreasting to see if they'll keep that promiss. you can agree with me or not but that's my opinion First Page - Previous - Next - Last - Add Entry - Other Topics - Message Boards - Exit Page 37 of 75
