Because Kevin, Brian, Howie, A.J, and Nick complete THE BACKSTREET BOYS!!! And I think Nicks' solo album will help the group,it will just show how talanted he all the guys are to do this!!!!!! Submitted by JoJo from USA Date: Wed Aug 21 10:49:27 2002 For every line you type here, make sure you request Nick Carter's "Help Me" twice as much. If you bother your DJs enough, they WILL play it. MTV has a poll between Justin and Nick as to whose song you like better. Right now (August 21)it's as follows: 50% Nick-Help Me 32% Justin-Like I Love You 8% I like them both You know how important MTV is. BSB fans used to have MTV on lockdown. Then we got lazy. Now we have to get it back. VOTE! Submitted by jess from USA Date: Wed Aug 21 10:26:43 2002 just reading back over the article, and who does that guy at the end think he's fooling? everyone knows that if nick leaves the backstreet boys, they'll be gone within a week. there's no way they could replace nick. i mean, look at the spice girls. and to compare the backstreet boys to the eagles is just stupid. the bsb are ok and they have some talent, but there's no WAY they'll EVER be as sucessful as the eagles... :) jess http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nick_the_man Submitted by Molly from USA Date: Wed Aug 21 10:16:32 2002 Yes, to a certain extent, they DID lose an audience. There actually are some people out there who are naive enough to think that they'll meet Nick and he'll fall madly in love. It's the same with Brian and everybody else....at least it was before they got married. I know 3 of my friedns who stopped being fans when they got married. As ignorant and superficial as that is, it happens. But we just have to support the boys THAT much more in order to make up for it. Submitted by jess from USA Date: Wed Aug 21 10:13:09 2002 i don't hate the bsb...i just am not a fan. i am a fan of NICK. i LOVE nick. but not the bsb. i don't like n'sync either. i'm just an innocent bystander, giving my opinion. can't you respect that? :) jess http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nick_the_man Submitted by Sharon from Netherlands Date: Wed Aug 21 10:09:09 2002 if she wants to write a letter she can do that, u have nothing to say about that. and even the best papers post lies. they lost their young audience? nuh uh. here i quote it from the article: "the Backstreet Boys lost their young audience" so thats a lie. they might have lost some of it but not all. Submitted by Molly from DuBois Pennsylvania USA Date: Wed Aug 21 10:02:19 2002 *Sigh* Good lord! A lot of you people really need to mature and grow up a little bit. There's NO NEED to jump on Jess because she thinks that NSYNC have more charisma in interviews. To be honest, they DO. Do you remember the one-on-ones in the group interview? Kevin did ALL the talking. And he's also the one who showed a LACK of respect by telling NSYNC to find their own identity, which they have done. And what people need to realize is that NSYNC has worked their asses off as much as BSB in order to gain success. Regardless of the fact that they "copied" them, they still worked hard. Any artist in music industry is going to work as hard as they possibly can. And trying to take that away is just ridiculous and blind-sighted. And whatever you do, DO NOT go writing letters to the New York Times yelling at the journalist. It just gives ALL of us a bad name. He'll take one look at your letter, laugh, and then throw it in the paper shredder. Because what he did was JOURNALISM, and it was a very good article. I'm glad it was printed, because it sheds so much light on everything. And if you even TRY to say that he doesn't have the facts right, think about it! This is the New York fucking Times! They don't put stuff in their paper just for the purpose of trying to be superior by trashing the Backstreet Boys! They have better things to do! This was an article that was used to shed light on the music industry, and it did just that. Whether you like what it says or not, you can't just assume that it's all lies, because guess what? If it was lies it wouldn't be in there. Submitted by Sharon from Netherlands Date: Wed Aug 21 09:56:10 2002 No problem. You're so right. It still wonders me why Nsync fans keep coming to a BSB site when they don't even like them. I don't like Nsync but you won't find me on an Nsync site whining about them. I don't like them, period, but I don't care that other people do like them, good for them, that doesn't give me the right to annoy them by saying how stupid they are... This is a site for BSB fans, not for people who wanna start fights or whatever. If you wanna talk about how great you think Nsync is, then go to an Nsync site, not to a BSB site. If you do like Nsync and not the BSB then why spoil your time on a BSB site... Submitted by maral from markham ontario Canada Date: Wed Aug 21 09:33:46 2002 thanx sharon, all the backstreet support we can get rox! KTBSPA Submitted by Maral from Markham Ontario Canada Date: Wed Aug 21 09:32:25 2002 Ok this one Is for Jess, If you don't liek BSB then thats fine, everyone has there own opinion, but don't come onto a BSB site and say things like that, have some respect girl. The music industy has nothing to do with being funny, It only has to do with Music! Not being funny or hot or nice, or kind, It has ntohing to do with that, it has to do with HARD WORK, which N'sync wouldn't know about cuz success was handed out on a plate to them, cuz of BSB. Thats why Its called the MUSIC industry! It only has to do with the music. So don't come onto this site saying that KEVIN is a prike! If you read the article, kevin is the one who Is always saying nive things about N'sync, and about how they deserve there success. He has respect unliek any of you ungrateful savages! Submitted by Sharon from Netherlands Date: Wed Aug 21 09:29:28 2002 I agree with Maral, you go girl!! Submitted by jess from USA Date: Wed Aug 21 09:10:34 2002 mia is totally right. n'sync is a very talented group, and they deserve as much respect as the bsb. the boys don't get the love and respect b/c they take themselves too fucking seriously. if you look at an n'sync interview, and then you look at a bsb interview, the same questions asked, i guarentee you that the n'sync will be the guys laughing and having a good time, and then bsb will just be sitting there looking at the floor, while that arrogant prick kevin does all the talking. there is a reason for sucess in this business...it is called CHARISMA. n'sync has it, bsb doesn't. the results are clear. :) jess http://groups/yahoo.com/group/nick_the_man Submitted by Maral from Markham Ontario Canada Date: Wed Aug 21 09:04:03 2002 Ok, first to start off, i would just like to say to this chick Mia, who has poste a letter to shut the hell up! how dare u come to a BSB site and put them down! are u stupid? Hunny i have one thing to say to u, get UR info right! The only reason ur stupid N'sync is even in this industy is becouse of BSB, you should be kissing the ground they walk on! Oh Ya, and by the way, BSB WRITES, SINGS (UNLIKE N'SYNC) AND EVEN PRODUCES MOST OF THERE ALBUMS AND SONGS.HOW DARE YOU COME ONTO THIS SITE AND SAY THINGS THAT ARE NOT EVEN TRUE. BSB CAME OUT FIRST AND OPENED UP THE INDUSTY, THATS THE ONLY REASON N'SYNC IS OUT IN THE FIRST PLACE. SO DON'T SAY THINGS THAT ARE NOT TRUE. And as for the article I THOUGHT IT WAS STUPID, IM WRITTING A letter right now to the new york times, cuz they don't even have half the info right in it. Im upset and even madder about the stupidness of some ppl. I think journalist's should have the write info before they say things that are not true. Maral*** Canada Submitted by jess from cleveland ohio USA Date: Wed Aug 21 09:02:54 2002 oh, come on you guys. you know that the backstreet boys have been fading away since "more than that". a breakup is imminent at this point. all we can do now is hope that nick is sucessful in his solo venture. :) jess htp://groups.yahoo.com/group/nick_the_man Submitted by Sharon from Netherlands Date: Wed Aug 21 08:43:02 2002 Wow... That was long... That was... I don't know, meaningfull. The BSB lost their younger audience? I'm 19, I have a lot of friends who are BSB fans who are 19 or younger... are we old? Don't think so. Why do they always keep comparing with Nsync, that really bothers me. Nsync has nothing to do with the BSB, the BSB were here before them, and they WILL outlive them for sure. So Nick makes a solo cd... so? Does that mean he has to leave the group? No. I've been a fan since I was 12 years old, and I still am a big fan. I've been following whatever they did for over 7 years now, and I remember Nick saying he might want to make a solo cd, I also remember Brian saying that. Okay maybe noboday believed it back then, but here's the proove, Nick's album Now Or Never. So? He's probably gonna do a tour yeah, so? SOOOO??? That doesn't mean he's gonna leave the BSB!! AHHH I can't stand it when people talk like that, geez whoever this article wrote, he probably doesn't even know them!! So what makes him think he has the right to write stuff like this anyway? If he doesn't like them.. good for him, everyone his own opinion.. But don't write it down like this as if you're right and nothing else is possible UGH!! Nick makes a solo cd, goes on a tour, after a few months, the hype about his cd is over and he can go back to the BSB. I'm not complaining about his cd, I've always liked Nick most, I love his voice, so I can't wait to get his cd, but that doesn't mean I don't want him to stay in the group. The BSB aren't the BSB anymore when one of the members leaves. Doesn't matter which member, BSB are Nick, Brian, Kevin, Howie and AJ, nothing more, nothing less. They had their problems yeah, heart surgery, rehab... DUH They're normal human beings like everyone! They just happen to be great performers! Some of them married.. DUH most people want to get married! That's what life's about! LOVE! Why would anyone blame them for that? They can take time off! They're not machines, so no one can expect them to work 24/7 365 days a year. That's impossible. They need their time off! They need their rest, they're only human beings! Okay, I live in the Netherlands, I haven't seen them in concert in over 3 years, sometimes I get really pissed about it, but I also know it's not their fault. They can't be at more than one location at the same time, and they need to spend time with their families, time with their wifes/girlfriends, time doing whatever they like without people trying to boss them around. ... So, let Nick make his solo cd, let him go on a tour, they will be back together, remember how they always said they're gonna stay here forever? Yeah they lost some fans, but they probably weren't real fans. The real fans will be waiting for them. The real fans will support Nick like they supported Brian when he had his surgery, like they supported AJ when he did his tour and when he went into rehab. The real fans will support all of them when they are having whatever kinda problems. The real fans will wait. Keep The Backstreet Pride Alive Submitted by Mia from USA Date: Wed Aug 21 08:29:20 2002 LISTEN! Some of you need to get facts straight before you post! Nobody said they shouldn't get married. We said they shouldn't have taken two years for a honeymoon. Whether your in the music business or not-that can kill a career. Nick made an album in this period (which was NOT rushed), that every BSB was aware of. Only when they decided they had a big enough break did they suddenly care that Nick had a solo record. They expected him to shelve it? Well you can't do that. A cd can cost more than a million doller just to make-not including promotion. So who's really the selfish and lazy people. AS for NSYNC-they not only write almost all of thier songs-they produce them also (BSB does not). Nsync also writes music-not just lyrics-like BSB. For all the hating a lot of us have done (myself included) Nsync has (like their music or not) surpassed BSB in not just fans but the way they manage to keep control of their careers, frienships and music. BSB have had even more of an oppurtunity with their talent but they indeed act like boys and get that much respect. They need to either learn to get along or quit. Submitted by Ryan from Australia Date: Wed Aug 21 07:19:17 2002 The article, and more importantly this forum has made me realise 1 thing - THERE ARE A HELL OF A LOT OF AUSTRALIAN FANS - Go the Aussies!!! Submitted by Ryan from Australia Date: Wed Aug 21 07:16:47 2002 As long as we're here, who cares?.... Submitted by Janice from Melb VIC Australia Date: Wed Aug 21 07:09:36 2002 Reading the article was very very disturbing for me. it makes me really hurt deep inside and i'm sure many of the fans would've too. I felt that the article was quite negative towards the BSB and that shouldn't be right. There whole career written out like that has been such a long journey, it makes me luv them soooooo soooooo much more. and if it wasn't for the BSB, nsync wouldn't even exist!!! ... they can't sing like shit! n for justin...he can go to hell!! but the BSB are "the one" and will last forever, especially in my heart. Submitted by Chrissie from Germany Date: Wed Aug 21 04:59:38 2002 I'm a BsB fan since 95 and I will never forget what they did for me. Over here in Germany nobody really cares bout the boys anymore and I dont care bout that. They don't need to be the best band of the world for everyone.For me they will always be the best band.Deep inside my heart I thank them for everything they have done. Maybe they'll have a come back maybe they'll make it big again but the only thing that matters to me is the music. Songs like How did I fall in love with you just make me feel better. I'll stay backstreet for life. First Page - Previous - Next - Last - Add Entry - Other Topics - Message Boards - Exit Page 57 of 75
