They are still here, they just need a break. I mean wouldn't you after like 8 years working non stop, I know I would need a break and would want to do my own things. I just wanted to say congrats to AJ on his going to be marriage. I'm so happy that our boys are happy with their lives and have someone special to share it with. Don't forget to buy Nick's new cd when it comes out we have to keep them #1 even if they aren't together, but as individuals. Just don't forget about our boys cause they haven't forgot about us. They love us and need us, just like we need and love them. KTBSPA :) Submitted by Laura from USA Date: Wed Aug 21 17:34:42 2002 I think that this article explains a lot. I think what's written in the article is true, considering it was published in the New York Times! It wouldn't be published if it was full of false information. I don't think all people realize that the boys' career doesn't souly depend on them and what they want. They have to put their careers in the hands of production companies and managers and promoters. I feel bad this is what they're having to go through when all everyone wants is some good, happy music to keep us all sane. It mustn't be about money considering, like the article said, the boys are (financially) set for life. I think anything is possible with the future of this group. Nick has potential and may choose to use it as a solo act, the other guys seem to be more serious about their long term, respected career. I'll back them all with whatever they do because I've loved 'em forever, I just hope everyone who enjoys them so much, will stick by them in whatever happens in their career. Submitted by Anna from USA Date: Wed Aug 21 17:32:55 2002 I think the article was real informative and made a lot of good points. I was real happy it focused on the facts and didn't really allow opinions in. I'm sick of the whole Backstreet/NSYNC thing. I'd really rather just try to forget about it. But I think Backstreet made a lot of wrong decisions on thir own part. They haven't made any tv appearances in how many years? Obviously if they're not goin to do it, somebody else is. So that they messed up for themselves. I don't think them not receiving their fair share of cash is right, no matter how much money they do have. No one should have to be ripped off like that. But I really do think the ticket prices were absolutely ridiculous for the Black and Blue tour. I also think their efforts stunk. I went to the Hartford shows and they made absolutely no effort to interact with thier fans. Well, I'm sorry if the dates were scheduled later and it wasn't as big as an arena as they were used to but I know this was my first Backstreet concert, and I'm sure many other peoples as well. To have paid the huge amounts of cash I did to be there cause I heard they had all this stuff and then get nothing was disappointing. I think they should spend just a lil more time out of the courts and thinking about their fans. But there is one thing that ticked me off in the article, the end where the guy mentions the Eagles and there members. Nick is irreplaceable. Everybody knows that. And I know he's staying with the group even through his solo career, but if he was to quit, that would be the end of Backstreet. No doubt.

Clearly, Nick is not leaving, and the band is not breaking up-obviously or they wouldn't be recording and setting themselves to release a new album. And apparently the author hasn't looked at the points that matter here- Nsuck breaks into the industry right after BSB and is a mirror-image copycat group and they do everything just before BSB does it. If BSB is going to release an album, Nsync releases one the week before. BSB's Burger King promotion? They get McDonald's as a sponsor and advertises a week before. Lou Pearlman swindled both groups out of the money they should have profitted from-which should tell you that you can't listen to a word he says!! And let's look at hardships-When Brian neede heart surgery, the industry and management pushed him to hold off so they could finish the tour-something that was life threatening in the first place. And when AJ went into rehab, the Boys supported him 100%, an admirable thing,to admit to the worl that he had a problem and needed help, but the industry and media attacked the group when it was the industry's fault for having pushed the Boys so hard. But the Boys will prevail. Submitted by Jme from Johnston RI USA Date: Wed Aug 21 16:50:47 2002 it dont matter if u "dont support" what Nick is doing. cuz anyone who says that is just a pansy and aint a real fan. So for all the REAL fans out there, u best be gettin ur vote on at mtv.com.. AND dont be retarded and say stupid stuff like some people in here did. Support Nicks album cuz the rest of the Boys do too!! if u love all 5 of the Boys, u'll help out Nick with his solo career!! woo0o0o so if u wanna talk Carters, u can talk to me on aim "heartbreaka672".. otherwise keep the pride alive !! i ThInK i'LL nEvEr SeE uR liGhT BoUnCiN oFf Of mE..

HeLp Me! madd love Jamie Submitted by Jessica from USA Date: Wed Aug 21 16:49:09 2002 I'd meant that they sold 4 mill worldwide :) They're like the world' biggest artists. Submitted by Liz from USA Date: Wed Aug 21 16:46:59 2002 Nick does that suck! BSB said themselves that they were taking a break in 2002, and they've all been doing side projects. AJ had planned to go solo too, you know (although I don't know what's stopping him, I mean he's not in rehab now and I'm kinda curious to see what he sounds like) Nick is obviously no BSB but what kind of BSB fans are we if we don't support Nick? Submitted by Jessica from USA Date: Wed Aug 21 16:42:44 2002 I DO NOT think Nick's leaving- I mean he's told us himself and it's not like he'd lie to us. And I think that all of us BSB fans should support Nick, and show that copycat justin that bsb will always triumph over them! BSB fading? Puh-lease! What planet are you living on? That's what they said right before Black and Blue and did bsb not prove them wrong? C'mon they sold like 4 million copies in their first week, and I don't see any "non-fading" artists doing that, and you know what, they're gonna do that AGAIN as soon as their next album comes out. In the mean time SUPPORT NICK!!! Submitted by Melissa from USA Date: Wed Aug 21 16:40:11 2002 Nick sucks for going solo. Does he not care about AJ, Brian, Howie, and Kevin? I love the BSB but I do not support this. Submitted by MeLZ from Canada Date: Wed Aug 21 16:13:39 2002 WHAT?!?!?!?! PEOPLE STILL TALKIN ABOUT THIS STUPID UNREAL FAKE ARTICLE?!?!

Submitted by Stace from Canada Date: Wed Aug 21 16:02:25 2002 I was totally surprised by the article. what's it suppose to mean? the journalist wrote it like the backstreet boys are over. what's up with that? and what's up with the whole "the Eagles changed their members three times an it didn't hurt their careers"? who said nick was leaving? is he leaving? i'm really mad right now cause i don't get what's going on. why can't they just tell us the truth about what's happening? is nick going to leave? cause let me tell u it WILL hurt their career! he can't just leave. can he? i mean if they replace nick i will so take down my bsb posters. i mean they've been together for 9 years! they can't just introduce a new member and be like tada: this is 'new nick'. and as for nick if it's his decision to leave i'm so not going to support it. well anywayz i hope what the article says ain't true cause i don't think i can live without backstreet boys as a WHOLE!!!!

Submitted by Carol from Miami Florida USA Date: Wed Aug 21 15:55:58 2002 I really dont care if people are comparing BSB to nsync and sayin nsync is better, cuz in my heart I know BSB is the BEST!! BSB is the original and I know they have worked hard to get to where they're at! If people are playin' with BSB, I know BSB is oing to get over it and come back better than before. I'm just sick of people takin advantage of them, but cuz of it, it makes me want to be a bigger and better fan and support the band even more. Whatever, i'm just sayin the things coming to my mind after reading the article. what I want to say is that BSB will climb back to the top again, its like the girl said (sorry i 4-got ur name)it's going to b a segment in MTV icon! especially since i'm seeing fans comin together and I want to tell people to not be ashamed to be a BSB fan, cuz if u are ashamed, well get over it and KTBSPA! I diddnt mean to offend anyone, I'm just sharin my opinion. Submitted by Lucy from Essex United Kingdom Date: Wed Aug 21 15:45:20 2002 In response about the being too old to have your BSB's posters up, well I'm about to enter my second year at uni, all thou the 1st year I had my BIG nick poster up, and always had the videos playing. yeah people took the mick, but they also actually sat down and watched them, and reaslised they're not as bad as they thought!! so keep ur posters up and convert Submitted by MeLZ from Canada Date: Wed Aug 21 15:40:19 2002 People!!!

Submitted by Mandy from Exeter Devon United Kingdom Date: Wed Aug 21 15:39:45 2002 In response to a previous message I just want to say that Im 19 and Im also going to Uni next month and I intend to bring my BSB posters with me cause I know it'll make me feel more at ease living so far away from home for the first time! I dont care what any1 at Uni thinks, Mandy comes with BSB and if they dont like that then they can go take a run and jump, all my friends are into rock and rap but they've accepted that im a fucking huge Backstreet Boys fan because it's who I am and Im just so much fun to be around they couldnt ditch me :P lol! Seriously, BSB are in no way a group to be ashamed of, I dont know why people think u shud've grown out of them by a certain age, it's pathetic thinking like that, if u like a group then buy their music, who cares what any1 else thinks! Never try to be someone you're not! Submitted by Mandy from Exeter Devon United Kingdom Date: Wed Aug 21 15:31:18 2002 Ive been a BSB fan for a long time and it kills me to see the boys getting little support from the press especially here in the UK! They've proved themselves as a group in many areas as well as singing, their strength and determination is outstanding and they set a great example to up and coming groups, it's about time they were given the respect they deserve! BSB are 5 of the most talented, down to earth damn fine men in the music industry as well as having hearts of gold. I couldnt be more proud then to call myself a BSB fan! They've worked so incredibly hard to get where they are today now all someone seems to need to do to get a record deal is go on a tv programme, it's ridiculas and sad that this is the way the music industry is heading, it's about time people were signed for pure talent again and not looks! Get rid of all this cheesy crap from people who cant sing a note and open your eyes to the real talent that is right in front of your face! BACKSTREET RULE! Submitted by Kylie Thompson from Rochford Essex United Kingdom Date: Wed Aug 21 15:30:11 2002 This is the second message I've written on here and it's partly in response to what some other people have written. Firstly I want y'all to know that I THINK, not definite, but I think our Nicky's gonna be on the cover of CosmoGIRL's Sexiest Issue! I've had a look at the preview pic and I think it might just be him! There was someone who said that she's 18 and growing up and doesn't have pictures up anymore. I'm 18, I'm going to Uni in a month. I'm taking one of my biggest posters with me to put on my wall. I'm not ashamed of the guys. I love them and their music. I'm proud to be a fan. It doesn't mean I'm sad because I'm an adult who likes "pop music"! Plus, to the girl who had a go at the fact that Joey Fatone had a kid when he wasn't married: that is not the way to go. Maybe *NSync aren't as good as Backstreet, but they are human. Loads of people have kids before marriage. Hello, 21st Century! Not everyone believes in that sort of thing anymore. No offense to whoever said those things, I'm just giving you my opinion. First Page - Previous - Next - Last - Add Entry - Other Topics - Message Boards - Exit Page 54 of 75
