And yes, BSB does stand for Backstreet Boys.
I’ve just been sitting here watching TRL’s all time finale and how sad is that? I remember watching it when it first came on and it was the coolest show everrrrr. I feel so old that I remember when Carson Daily hosted and when is what just him in a studio with no audience or anything. I’M SO OLDDDD!
I digress.
So the Backstreet Boys performed live on the finale and man, do they still rock. I fucking love them, even if there’s only four left. Did you know they are the biggest selling boy band of all time? They have sold 120 MILLION albums. People don’t sell albums like that anymore at all. And not only are they still so damn good looking, but they’re even better looking than they were 10 years ago. That is the truth.
I have a theory. In the late 90′s, there were two types of girls: those of us(myself included) who LOVED Backstreet Boys and then there were those of us who LOVED N*SYNC(what was with the fucking asterisk? lammmme). You liked one or the other and you knew for sure which one you liked. I remember getting into serious fights with girls in 6th grade about who was better(OMG I’M SO OLD!). We had posters of our men all over our walls. We had every single album(and some that were from Burger King[does ANYONE remember when the Backstreet Boys had Burger King toys and cds?!? Or when N*SYNC and Britney Spears did a video for McDonalds?!?]) Any magazine with even the smallest article about them, we BEGGED our mom for. I’ve seen the Backstreet Boys 4 times in concert(one for almost each cd they have) and every show gets better and better.
They said on TRL tonight that they are working on another album. I will buy it for sure when it comes out. And if they ever visit Columbus, OH again, I will for sure go.
I think people forget how big they were about 10 years ago or how talented they really were. I’d like to give credit where credit is due.
Backstreet’s Back, alright?
