Ok I'm sorry but that article pissed me off! LOL just how they have the nerve to state that AJ going into rehab "damaged" them?! WTF? LoL And the marraiges....the MAJORiTY of fans for one thing were supportive of that, and the whole deal with AJ, the fans stuck by him, so how dare they blame such a wonderful thing as Brian and Kevin getting married, or AJ stepping up and getting help, as being a bad thing?!

It makes me mad because the media now is making it out to be that BSB is a thing of the past when they are not. I think it's partially because of Chapter One because a greatest hits album comes at the end of an artist's career. I think that really hurt them. And everyone talks about how Black and Blue didn't do well...hello? It sold 1.6 million copies in its first week. That's really good but all the people who don't like teen pop are so against it and they want it to die. Why are they like that? For example: I don't like country music and I know lots of people who don't either. But we don't go around saying that it's dying and that it sucks. To each his own and if other people have different tastes in music they have that right. I just get so mad when people make fun of BSB and act like they are nothing. Just because some of their fans are young doesn't mean that they don't count.

Ok, This is driving me crazy! I have to get it off my chest. After I read this article, I started freaking out and my heart sunk. I've been a Backstreet fan since 1997. I have grown out of pop and now am listening to punk and Metal. BUT...I still listen to the Backstreet Boys and will be a fan til the day I die! That's one thing that will NEVER change about my style. I LOVE them. My friends practically critisize me for it and tease me but I stand up for them anyways. If something happens with the Boys, I will cry and want to crawl up in a whole and never come out of it for as long as I live! Maybe this guy doesnt care if Nick is replaced but I do and I'm sure the rest of the Backstreet fans do, too. But I think that the guys would never do that. They've been together for 10 or 11 years! They've been proving ppl wrong this long, why stop now? And as for Nick's solo project, I say good for him. He's getting to do his own thing and he's happy. I don't think this should interfere with his career and friendship with the other guys. I'm going to stand behind the group all the way FOREVER!!! Well, I feel a little better now.KTBSPA!!

I read thise article and I was kind of thinking. The Backstreet Boys have been popular and been a group for 10 years. Most artist never see that number so if they are losing popularity now it is sad but at the same time it is good. They have wives and everything and what-not. Also I dont think at this point it matters I think at this point what matters is the mark they have left in music and the memories and the records. They have left a HUGE ASS MARK and I think that is awesome. The only way they will ever lose popularity is if they lose popularity with you. :)

Wow. That is a lot of new information to digest in a few minutes. We all knew about BSB suing that @$$ Lou Pearlman and about the management changes. I am just shocked to learn this new information about what went on behind the scenes and us fans had no idea. It really upsets me and frustrates me. These music business people are just a bunch of dirty, rotten, scheming, lying, stealing, uncaring, pigs who will do anything it takes to make money. And to know that BSB was caught up in the middle of this. It's very unfortunate. None of this was fair and it makes you wonder if similar things have happened to other pop singers/groups or if BSB were the only ones getting screwed. This new info better be true or i'll just be getting p***ed for no reason. But to all the BSB fans out there, you know what you have to do. You have to support them 100%. Buy Nick's cd and BSB's when it is released. Vote for any video on TRL(even if you are like me and don't watch it much). Also vote for any BSB songs on your local radio station top (insert # here) countdowns and even Carson Daly's stupid countdown. Just do whatever the h*ll you can to support them. They've had to deal with so much to make the music that we enjoy and we have to pay them back(pun intended) for everything they've done the best we can. Oh and one more thing, most importantly, and as always, KTBSPA!!!

I love the Backstreet Boys so0o0oo much! I mean no one even know's how much I like them. This article brought me to tears cause I kinda think that after this CD, either its going to be the last CD or their going to take a really long break. As much as I hate to say that though part of me thinks its true but another part of me doesn't. The Backstreet Boys mean the world to me and if they do break up, I really think that I wont get over it. But on the other hand I think that, that article is a bunch of crap. I mean yeah they might not be having the greatest time right now, but i really think that they can work it out. And all this about them all arguing, thats just a bunch of crap too. I mean these guys have been together for almost 10 years now and I dont think that they would let all that success go down the drain like that. And IF its a possiblity for them to break up, I really dont think that they would let millions of fans around the world down like that. BSB know's that they have a TON of fans supporting them and that they wouldnt hurt anyone of their fans by breaking up. But another side of me is saying that they arent getting along as they were when they first started and that everything is going wrong with the group. As much as I hate to think it, I kinda think its a possibility. Well I think thats all I have to say before breaking down into tears again. ALWAYS KTBSPA!!! Luv ya guys!!

This made me really pissed off!! It's not right for these peolpe to do these things to five guys who have worked their ass off making records and making people happy..It's just plum wrong..How dare someone tell Brain to complete the tour and not have heart surgery that is totally selfish..My guch it's his heart ..WHAT IF something would have happend to him..And the b**** Lou Pearlman ..how dare him treat the guys the way he did ..I mean yes Nsync deserved to have there time to break through but u don't push the Backstreet Boys out of the picture just because they need time off and one of them needs surgery !I love the Backstreet Boys they are awsome and i can't wait for their next album they have come so far i don't think they are going anywhere too becasue i know that they still have millions of fans out there who love them and can't wait for there return..And one more thing i think that it is awful that some people want to put Aj down beacuse he had a problem and he got helped .. He's a person just like everyone else and people make mistakes no one is pefect.He was a real man when he stepped up and got helped because there are plenty of people who had the problem he had but won't get help..And for people to not like brain and kevin becasue they got married is just plain asburb..They wanted someone to love and they found those people and there happy that's all that matters ..As long as they keep putting out music that they make and that is great i will continue to love them no matter what happens to them..THE BACKSTREETBOYS ROCK AND THAT WILL NEVER EVER CHANGE !!

Alot of things in that article made me mad. I can't stand what the media does to these Boys. I can't stand the way their management throws them around like they're some kind of toy. I can't stand that Lou Pearlman. It was HIM and his crew that decided that Brian should continue and finish the tour because god forbid they'd have to push back some concerts.. I mean it was his heart for god sakes. What if something had happened to him? Then Lou would have really been kicking himself. Then that whole thing with Clear Channel buying out the Black and Blue tour. Everyone would assume that they were the reason for the higher ticket prices on the second leg of the tour, but while they pushed LOWER prices management thought it'd be in the Boys' best interest to sell insanely high ticket prices and then leave half the fans standing in the dust because they can't afford it. The Boys didn't like that one bit, and they were very hurt when management decided to push the release of Chapter One. The Boys wanted it to be a 10 year anniversary thing..and that would have been so great, but no, that stupid ass management always has to get in the way. This group is one of the hardest working groups out there today, and I'm so sick of them never getting anything in return for it. Instead it's oh they're breaking up, AJ's in rehab, Nick got arrested..what kind of role models are they? Well I can certainly say they're my biggest inspiration and I'm sure I can speak on behalf of alot of other fans as well. If all them press people actually paid attention to each other they'd realize that Nick did say on z100 that they ARE NOT breaking up and Howie said on Y100 that they're going to start recording early next year, they're just taking it slow. Nobody in the group is mad at Nick for his solo album. They all support him, so how could they blackmail him like the media claimed they did so many times? Who the hell cares if nobody wants it, too bad! These Boys are here to stay and they'll be around for a long, long time.

I'm sorry that the Boys have had to go through as much crap as they have all these years. They've taught us a lot through their lyrics, but they also taught as much through their personal experiences. This is no different, because it has certainly opened our eyes to what artists have to go through in such a shark-infested industry. When all is said and done, though, I hope the Boys stay strong, because their strength and perseverance are inspirational. They can call the Boys anything they want, but I call them real. Whatever decisions you make, thank you for the great times, the music, the concerts, and the fun. You ARE heads above the rest, regardless of what they say. If the Boys were to release their next album 10 years from now, yeah, I'll still be there. KTBPA :)

There are a number of things that was said that i don't like or think is true.First there was a part in their that said that Kevin said that they sould finish the tour first then take care of Brian's heart. I don't think Kevin would say something like that about Brian and second i am really sick of people saying that backstreet is going their own way,people the guys have told us all that they are not going their own ways so stop saying that ok.untell i hear it from them i am not going to believe it.also every time a someone in a band does a cd by themselfs people think that the band is going their own way .it was just something he wanted to do. I am a big fan of bsb and i am going to stand behind them all the way 100% in everything they do.Happy brithday Howie and congradulations to Aj i am happy for you and i hope you have a happy life together and i hope she makes you happy because i don't want to see you hurt. i just want you to be happy . I don't think they have done anything wrong. p.s. i love you guys(bsb) take care
