well, i think the article is a little tendentious, but take it from the person who wrote it, it said nothin new, nothin that we didnt know.
i think that about their bad or good bussines, its the bad part of their career and they have been thru a lot of things and we have been suiportive, if fans had been disapointed since brians heart cirgury because of the tour millennium wouldnt have been so succesfull, or about kevin and brian marriages, the 100 hour tour wouldnt have happen so i think they have fans that have grown up with them and i thionk we are mature enough to understand that they are human beings just like us and have a private life.
well, about their popularity, i think it is not the most important, they´ve always said its all about music and quality, and i think its very unfair that just because the preasure of the company they are not alowed to decide about the time they want to take to do the net cd, i think chapter one would have been so good for their ten years but it seems that for their company its more important money, money and more money.
I think that the boys might seem selfish because they fight to get the money they deserve but if were in that situation i would fight too coz they are the ones in the escenary and they deserve everything they have worked.
about nicks album i think its gonna be great because now he s gotta express alone, i think hes very talented, and for those that dont think the same and think he is a pretty face just like the other 4 guys just let see all the boybands that have disapeared why? because they were not talented.
Now i just have somethin to say to jive recors: STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! stop showing nick and justin as enemies, i dont think justin is the same talented as nick although i have to recognize that he is very intelligent just watch at nsync if i say nsync i bet everbody thin justin. by the way, i think that in the article nsync appears like the puuppet show of lou perlman, sure! if bsb is in a break off then nsync has the oportunity, like the shadows of the bsb they will always be behind the bsb coz no matter what bsb were first and i dont know about the us bue in México bsb are as famous as in millennium tour and nsync did not even sold a half of their only one show when bsb sold out three shows and it was hard for a lost of fans, including me, to get those tickets.
Ireally doubt that britney and justin were bf and gf i think it was all publicity but in the case of bsb i think bad oublicity can take them to ruin.i think that this journalist is hypoteziseing (or how ever u write it) i dont think that the bsb would continue without a member, it doesnt matter who it is, howie or nick or brian or kevin or aj, it wouldnt be the same.
well i just wanna finish saying that}:
i´m sorry, my grammar is a little bad.
SUPORT NICK CARTER OPROJECT
SUPORT ALL THE OTHER BOYS

What bothers me the most is that BSB has a new manager who doesn't seem to care if Nick stays with the band or leaves. That's Bullshit! You have to remember that the boys are people before they are Backstreet boys. You know how hurt the others would be if nick left? For that reason alone, I don't see him leaving. But it just seems wrong that their manager doesn't care about their frindship with each other.

I Don't Believe this Article at all. The Guys Have been through alot but there is one thing Nick,Brian,Kevin,AJ,& Howie have Always Been there For their Fans. Just Like The Fans Have Always Been there for them. As Long as The Backstreet Boys Know That They Still Have their fans Supporting them, then that's all that matters. I Hate it when Journalist Tries to make them look bad, but that's what the media does. But Like Nick Said
"As Long as We Have Our Fans,We can Conquer Anything" KTBSPA 4-LIFE!!!!!

i think that the way the group was treated by everyone around them was uncalled for and rude. such as the part about brian's heart surgery.im glad they stood up for themselves and took a stand because if not they would still be 5 little boys on stage. i love their music and totally support them and all that they wish to do in their careers.keep the backstreet pride alive! maggie

Well heres my take on it,that story from the Newyork times is completely crap all it is a one sided article about how The backstreet boys went from 5 guys to becoming stars to becoming undone...
Whats that all about whoever wrote this story either has somthing against the Backstreet boys or the whole pop scene in general. I mean its hard enough to get somewhere with out some people degrading you critisizing you or what ever. Well i say give these guys a break leave the Backstreet boys alone. Let me ask you a queston did anyone say any thing positive about how Brian when he put his life on the line and kept touring and making songs for us with his heart problem he could of got that fixed a while ago but didnt cause he didnt want to put his fans on hold. Untill his girlfriend at the time now his wife threatend to leave him so he finnally fixed himself up. How courages is that he put his fans in frot of his life!. But i did read anything about that in the newyork times or any other magazine. i saw it in thier biography. Aj put everything on hold and admited that he had a drinking problem and that in itself is hard. What did the band do canceled thier tour till aj got better All i saw is a story in the paper bashing aj and rumors of the backstreet boys might be over. But Aj got better then ever and back singing with the boys better then ever way to go AJ! but nobody in the newyork times or any news paper articles supporting aj or the backstreet boys. The only people were thier family fans and radio and fansillustrated.com that had a campaign to try and help aj. Keven who with all hes got he is still tring to save the envirment and make this world a better place,(which i totally agree and suport) to live lets face it if it wasnt for people like keven there would be an environment to save. but again you rearly hear about these good things only all bad things. Howie who for the love of his late sister started the lupus foundation and is making such improvments in the study to get a step closer to a cure. Finally nick who with all he is doing still has time to help out his brother ake a carrer for himself as well as fight for whales and try for a solo career which i wish him all the luck in... But all i saw in the news about nick as well as the papers is how he got aressted. Im not saying new york times are bad by any means or for that reason any paper im just saying get all the facts straight! These guys have been together for 10 years now i hope they will be together for another 10 years but who knows all i know is they have left a lasting impresion on me as well as billions of people and i will never forget the graetest band ever THE BACKSTREET BOYS I wish them luck in the future and hope they will keep going with there music no matter what anyone says they will always have fans thanks for all the great times!!! Keep BSB Pride alive forever!
Thats my take on it :)

I admit at first when I read the article it totally annoyed me. I hate it when some stupid people have to pick on BSB and write negative articles about them but then I decided that I don't care what they say and I'm not gonna let someones negative opinion about BSB stop me from supporting them and loving BSB with all my heart and soul. Those five guys have given me some of my very best friends from all over the world because of there music and I could thank them forever for that. Their music has always made my heart feel so happy and those five guys are so special inside and out with all the things that they do for us and the world. Also just cause Brian and Kevin are married and soon AJ doesn't mean that we have to love them any less it's the music that's important and we should support the choices that they make in their lives. We as fans should show them how much we love and support them always because they would do the same for us.KTBSPA!!

The article helps me because at least I now have some idea of what has been going on behind the scenes all spring and summer, and why the guys have been so quiet. I think Nick made a mistake in keeping the Firm to manage him solo, how is that supposed to make the other guys feel? I know they support him and love him no matter what, but is he saying without words that he wants to be the STAR? And Brian needs to tell Leighanne to back off a little. It doesn't surprise me one bit that she is becoming controlling of him, she always seemed that way to me. I'm not saying she is bad I'm just saying BRok should consider his brothers. Everyone is older, and they have outside influences guiding them. As far as the article, all these reporters compare BSB to N'Sync and say BSB are breaking up, washed out, blah blah blah. BS! BSB are still great and I don't care how many records they sell or tickets.............me and mine will always be fans. We Love You BSB. : ) P.S. Can't wait to see you again.

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! If you are a new artist: Don't sign with JIVE RECORDS.
Don't get managed by THE FIRM. You'll get screwed. ---------------------- If feel so pumped up now. I can't wait for Nick's album "Now or Never" and the group album. After this whole ordeal is figured out, BSB will have the best story to tell on VH1's Driven. They've gone through all this stuff. The worst thing that happened to Nsync is Lance's horse dying. If you look up Driven in the dictionary you see a picture of BSB, pow!

anonymous, thanks for agreeing with me.
i kinda agree with what some of you are saying about keeping the backstreet pride alive the right way.
liane i liked the last sentence in your entry. nick did say that and again, he's right, thats all him and the boys need...they need their fans back.
diamond, everyone has opinions, honestly i dont even wanna talk about nick leaving the group because thats real bs..everyone noticed that the backstreet boys are going downhill, and thats why we are all here trying to discuss it and support them. you said about 90% of us wont like that backstreet boys if nick leaves, the boys arnt like that, nick will not leave the backstreet boys cause its just so obvious.
like i said before, the boys dont know wuts coming up in the future..and neither do we. if we just roll with it and keep the backstreet pride alive at the same time, do you all think people would be talking bs about the backstreet boys????? (All caps detected. Message converted to lowercase)

Pop Sensation came undone? What a crock of shit that is. The Backstreet Boys haven't done anything to destroy themselves, it's the damn music business that's causing this hell they're going through. Had the Boys been allowed to keep the pace that they wanted, and done more of what THEY wanted to do, I can almost guarantee they'd still be dominating the charts right now. Both Jive and The Firm put far too much pressure on them, resulting in half-assed work, blowout arguments and lawsuits. The Backstreet Boys have what it takes to be one of the biggest selling groups in history. The record companies knew it too, hence the increased pressure to shell out more records and keep them on tour. Hell, that article opened up my eyes to what the music industry is really like. They never saw the Backstreet Boys as 5 talented guys with a dream, who wanted to sing, they saw these guys as little gullible puppets who could make them rich. How heartless can you be? I support the Backstreet Boys 100%, and am firmly in Nick's corner as far as his solo album. Anyway, just had to get that out. Later~

I think that this article shouldn't really suprise anyone. All that this journalist did was give us details upon things we all already know. I think in the heart of every BSB fan we can feel that the group just isn't what it used to be. They don't have the passion and they don't seem as excited as they were a few years ago. Maybe they can pull themselves together, but it's going to be very hard if Nick doesn't cooperate. I don't think that the Backstreet boys can make it successfully without him. I think there is a chance for them to be what we remember and miss, but I think that chance is slim and we need to support them no matter what happens. Together or apart, they are still the same five guys we all fell in love with so whatever choices they make I know I will be with them all the way

although, many people think that the article is not true and that they are just trying to start things, i totally disagree. everything that was said was all true. dont get me wrong, i support what ever choices they make, but maybe they should forget about the money aspect of things and just enjoy what they are doing. afterall, isnt that their life-long dream to sing and not have the money aspect of things?

That stupid article makes the boys look bad. All it's mentioning is the bad stuff
that has happened to them. I have been a very dedicated fan since day 1, and I stand
strong for what I believe in. In other words, I believe in BSB and I always will.
As for Nick's solo album, I say go Nick, all the power to ya! They take breaks because
they need time to rest after the tour, as well as write for the next album. Lizzy, (From Miami FL)
your response made me angry. Nick is his own person, he had plenty of time to make
make a solo album, so he went ahead and put one together. The album will prove to the
world how talented Nick really is. He doesn't need to always be doing just BSB
music he has the right to do a solo project. Wadda ya gonna say about AJ/Johnny???
HUH????? But the article is sooooo wrong. Anyone who disagrees or maybe even
agrees, may e-mail me. Oh, and Lizzy, Nick is working with BSB and on his album @ the same time.
DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He would NEVER leave the boys do put an album together
without him. HE signed on the dotted line, he's in a group, so he's helping outon the album.
The solo album is his own idea, and there's NOTHING wrong with it.

After reading that article and several others on Nick's new solo album I've come to one conclusion. Nick Carter sucks ass! I'm sorry but he has turned out to be one of the biggest sell-outs I've ever seen. It's not that doing a solo career is bad or anything but his timing sucks. You don't make a solo record when your other 4 bandmates are busy working hard making another group album! BSB has been trying to set up a pattern that is clearly visible, with each record release they add on another year of free time. For example, after Millenium they took a one year long break. After Black and Blue, they took a two year long break for this new album coming up. All Nick had to do was finish touring with BSB and then have a whole 2 years free to do his solo thing. I mean how is this going to work out? BSB is in the studio writing songs while Nick is promoting. BSB is promoting their new album while Nick is touring? Honestly, I think they should kick Nick's hindparts and maybe work their way up to his brain. And as for his title, Now or Never...um Nick I say NEVER. My friend you have just crossed he all for one and one for all thing and that is not cool. You're igniting a whole lotta fires and pushing people's buttons with your damn solo album.

I think the article is unfortunately true to some degree. The facts that were stated concerning management and record labels are obviously true, but I think it is wrong that those people were basically trying to sabotage the Backstreet Boy's career just because they wanted a break. In my opinion, the mangers etc. were stupid for doing that because if BSB was able to stay energized and keep their ambition up (meaning they have a break once in a while) then they would be better performers and maybe even more popular. But, that's the manager's loss because BSB pulled through it and came out on top without them. What I don't think is true about the article is that they came undone. Think about that. If they came undone, would they have 4 successful albums in the US alone, would they have many sold out tours, would they have millions of fans that stand by them and support them in anything they do? ...Probably not! But, they do have all that and they still aren't done, so how can they be undone if they are still together and still going strong. Nick said it himself: As long as they have their fans, they can conquer anything.

I dont think the BSB r going downhill @ all, because doesn't anyone @ all believe wat the guys have 2 say 4 themselves? "we're not breaking up" "This is just a different way of expressing myself" " the only way i see an end for the group is when one of us dies" "we're as close as brothers" "this is what we love to do, and this is what we've been doing". The backstreetboys r so talented and have billions of fans, and this site proves it. I dont think they're going anywhere except to the studio and promo. I've the boys since 1997 and i always will, no matter what happens. KTBSPA.

PLEASE READ!!!!!!! TALENT VS. IMAGE!We all know that the last couple of years have been nothing short of hell for the Backstreet Boys, so honestly, if I were Nick I wouls attempt a solo career too. I can't predict how well the record itself will do as far as sales go, but I know that "Help Me" sounds like it has the potential to be a great single for him. I can't say that I feel 100% confident that depending on the success of his record that Nick'll wanna go back and rejoin the group with their new record, although like most of you, I hope he does. But at the same time I would still support him whole heartedly if he chose not to. As far as the whole N Sync thing is concerned, I feel like it was the label that created a lot of unnecessary tension between the 2 groups. First by holding N Sync's success over the guy's heads and then cheating when it came time to crunch the numbers of NSA's album sales. For any of you who bought the record and still have the reciept, check it. I'm almost positive that all NSA records that were sold in the first week said Quantity: 2 even if you only bought one. Thereby doubling N Sync's album sales when really there were no numbers to double. It's all extremely pathetic if you ask me, what happened to making music because you love it rather than outselling someone else. For the record, Nick's gonna kick Justin's ass in sales and I can't wait to see poor Justin's face when that happens since Justin is really the backbone of N SYNC and he only really achieved any kind of noteriety once people found out about him and Britney. It's a simple case of TALENT VS. IMAGE and talent always wins......and let's face facts...Nick just has more of it.

I forgot to say one thing! A lot of people are like, "oh the boys aren't breaking up, they said so themselves." Now I'm NOT saying they're breaking up. But if they were having problems and were considering taking a break from the group, they wouldn't tell us until it was made official. If some radio DJ asked Nick if they're breaking up, he wouldn't be like, "Yeah, we're going to break up next Thursday at 5:00." Of course he's going to deny it. You just have to find an area between gullability and refusing to see the truth when it's thrown right in front of you, which is basically what this article does. Don't refuse to believe it just because you don't like what it says. The New York Times doesn't print rumors and crap.
