Backstreet Boys new CD, Never Gone

[zhy378]

An appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" was all the incentive needed for the Backstreet Boys to reunite.

After taping a spot on "Oprah" last month, the Boys have now decided to enter the studio to record the follow-up to 2000's "Black and Blue," MTV reports.

"We're all excited," Richardson told MTV shortly after taping the upcoming episode. "All of us hadn't been together in the same room in like six months, so it was wild. It was good to be back together again."

Richardson, Howie Dorough, A.J. McLean, Nick Carter and Brian Littrell, who got back together in March and decided to delay recording, will now regroup in January.
_________________________________________
Okay, i know that this year spring they were gonna do it but then decided no, so now i really wonder if they gonna do it this time.
So anyone remember them, cuz these days don't heard much from them anymore.

[destined]

cool, i'm looking forward to it..its great to here that that they are releasing a new cd, i really liked their last album

[lattae]

nice to know that... I still think BSB is one of the better boy bands around... sorry N'sync... BSB still rocks...

hmm... but can we have less of nick carter's singing this time round... can't take his 'whining' anymore :bleh:

[panda_shine]

OMG YES!!! :thumbsup: (I am a HUGE BSB fan^^)
I've been waiting for this day since last year..! I remember how they said they were going to release an album last year but nothing happened.. >.<
I wished I saw the Oprah episode :oops:

[sauerkraut]

hmm... but can we have less of nick carter's singing this time round... can't take his 'whining' anymore :bleh:

haha, i agree. i've never liked his voice. it gets kinda annoying after a while. guess that this might be the main reason why his solo career plans didn't work out. i've never been a bsb fan, but i admit they had a couple of pretty catchy songs. wish'em luck. :wink2:

[wackycashew]

oooh... thanks for the news, zhy378. :happy:

lattae mei, i think BSB is better than 'N Sync as well. :D they were the first group that got huge internationally, surpassing their predecessors, and i don't think any other boyband has topped them yet despite them being out of the running for a while now. even though 'N Sync got really popular, i don't think their album sales ever reached the level of BSB. oh, about nick's voice... well, he actually has a really strong voice. but it does have that "whiny" or "nasal" quality to it. so, he doesn't sound as good as brian does. anywho, this should be interesting. i haven't heard any of their stuff for sooo long now...

panda_shine, i wished i saw that oprah episode, too. i've been majorly out of touch with the western music scene... :oops:

[lattae]

cashew jie>> I think even howie/aj sounds better than nick don't you think :?

actually I think aj and howie are probably the ones with the most under rated voices... they actually sound good... esp howie...

[wackycashew]

lattae mei, yah... howie does all those cool falsetto parts. he's definitely got the voice. :thumbsup: aj is pretty good, too. him and brian did all the lead parts before nick started to be a lead. they all have pretty nice voices. that's why i like "show me the meaning of being lonely". cuz all of them have a part and you can hear them sing solo. :happy:

as for albums, i think "black & blue" was a good effort cuz they started to include their own songs. the track that S.H.E just did a cover of - "how did i fall in love with you" - is one of my all-time fave tracks. howie was one of the songwriters for that song. :D

and i'm glad the boys will be making new music together. i guess it was a good break that they took. after all, brian and kevin are married already... =) oh, you know what would be awesome? if they record an a cappella track!! i love it when they harmonize. :)

[rikastar]

That's great news! I was a huge fan when I was 14. Gosh~ that was a long time ago now that I think about it. I was in love with Nick then... :blush:

[cinsin]

I have to agree with what lattae and wacky said about BSB being better than N'Sync and how Howie and AJ's voices are better than Nick's. It's nice to know they're regrouping, but I'm kinda getting sick of their music. I used to be a big fan of there music but after 'Black and Blue' came out I stopped liking them.

[sughie_lee]

yeah... that's really a great news!!
I'm a huge fans too...
BSB is the best ..

[cloUdsuRFer]

lol....i'm such a dag...i love the bsb....at least i used to...then they disappeared on me :(

booo aj......i don't like him....at all :( he's my least favourite....lol

i loooove brian but :D so sweeeeeeeeet :laughing:

[lattae]

yup.... brian's just so hard to resist... he's got thi scharmingly cute smile, and a nice soft voice... and he's such a cutie in real life too... love him to bits :love:

[cloUdsuRFer]

lol...yeah....he's got a voice of an angel :love:

[xiaoli]

Wow, BSB broke up?! :glug: I never knew and I used to love them as well! I totally agree that they're better than N'sync. I never really warmed up to N'sync, but I admit they did have some really nice songs. I could swear I once heard something about N'sync doing better than BSB though, cuz I remember being disappointed at hearing something like that. lol *shrugs* it was probably for something minor.

Nick and Brian were my fave -- they were best friends too! Nick used to be really good looking, but as he got older, he gained a lot of weight and got less cute. Anyway, hope the new album will be good.

[mein]

i'm a huge fan of BSB since six years ago...really sad when they broke up as a group... hehehe....i like a.j the most....he's cool....but i like brian's voice!!!...especially when he sings ' More Than That'....Black and Blue album is till my favourite one.... :wink2:

[wackycashew]

lattae and cloudy, the first time i saw a BSB MV, i thought surely brian is the most popular guy in the group. i was watching the "quit playin' games" MV. later on, i discovered nick was the one that girls were most crazy over. anyway, i think brian has the best voice of the group. and he just seems really nice and down to earth. him and his wife look cute together. :D

xiaoli, i'm not sure if they ever officially broke up. i thought they just decided to take a break after the compilation album. so, nick started doing his own thing. and i think a.j. and howie did as well. not exactly sure cuz i haven't read up any news on them for ages now. nick and brian were also my fave. :happy: love how they always joke around with each other and how close they are. brian always considered nick's feelings about stuff. i remember how nick didn't wanna reveal his body cuz he was so scrawny back then. so, brian didn't do it either cuz he didn't want nick to feel left out. i think it was for the "all i have to give" MV. yeah... nick gained so much weight. he used to be THE cutie in the industry... and then girls started to go for justin timberlake instead... *shrugs* oh, the BSB vs. 'N Sync thing... i think 'N Sync started to take over in terms of the north american market. but at an international level, i think BSB was still much more popular than 'N Sync cuz they were sorta the forerunners of boybands. there were other boybands before BSB, but they never got as popular as BSB did as far as i can tell.

mein, i like "more than that" as well... so touching to hear brian singing his parts in that song. :cry:

[xJayChoux]

Oooohhh! Thanks for the news! I liked the BSB alot too, when I was young...I thought they broke up...and now they'll make a new CD again! :excited: And I agree that they're better than N'sync. But I have to admit, I liked BSB because of Nick Carter. :oops: But now...yikes...he can't sing...-_-

[Jerria]

er..what really? thats good...thanks for the news..
I thought they would brake up forever..>_<

[Merriana]

i was in love w/ BSB because of Nick was so cute!!! :blush:
but now their songs isn't so good...
i love the first cds though....
like quit playin games and so much more...
oh well now i like Aaron Carter...
he's sooo cute... :blush:

[AzN*cOoKiE]

ohhh BSB!!!! i was a huge fan of them 5 years ago lol..not anymore. i thought they broke up already? hmm..maybe i was wrong?
and i totally agree that BSB is way way better than N'Sync. i hate N'Sync..especially that justin timberlake :oops: .
i still have BSB the millennium album cd..lol their songs were pretty good. i wonder if they sing good now. anyway..thanks for the news zhy378~ =)

[cloUdsuRFer]

oooh!! yay the nsync haters....lol....me don't like justin T anyway....

i liked their older stuff too....the second album was definitely the best..... black and blue was ok i guess

[cinsin]

haha cloudy you don't like Timberlake either?
His voice annoys me the most and he's a singer hehe.
I like BSB's older stuff too, their 'The Start of a Phenomenon' album was a good one because it was a collectors album.

[cloUdsuRFer]

i was wondering,..u guys...whether any of you spotted the stuff up by brian in the "everybody (backstreet's back)" clip???

gosh...it feels so weird to be talking about the backstreet boys after soooo long

[wackycashew]

haha cloudy... yeah... that was a booboo in the vid. i think there has been others... can't remember now. it was so long ago...

nupengyou, i didn't get that compilation album. i think "drowning" was the only new track right?

[cloUdsuRFer]

lol...i thought that boo boo...was sooo cute :love:

[wackycashew]

haha... yeah, it was. :happy: but i thought nick looked really weird as a mummy there... :glug: i thought kevin looked really cool as dr. jekyll and mr. hyde. :D

[cloUdsuRFer]

lol...aj looked real funky as the phantom.... XD

[wackycashew]

ummm hmmm... actually, side-tracking for a moment, i'm a big fan of "phantom of the opera". =) i think a.j. played that role well. it was one of the better set-ups out of all the boys.

hey, what BSB vids do you peeps like?

[cinsin]

nupengyou, i didn't get that compilation album. i think "drowning" was the only new track right?

Sorry the album was actually called 'The Start of the Phenomenon', actually I'm not sure I haven't listened to it for a while, but on the front of the CD it says featuring 'I'll never break your heart' and 5 bonus tracks. And there's no track on the CD that's called 'drowning'.

[wackycashew]

hmmm... nupengyou, then i'm thinking of something else... cuz i remember they put out a compilation album as a 10-year anniversary of being together as a group, called "chapter one" or something along those lines. i didn't buy that album cuz i have all of their other albums, so i don't need the compilation. there was only one new song called "drowning". so, that "the start of the phenomenon" album... when did it come out? i might have missed it. and what are the 5 bonus tracks? :?

[cloUdsuRFer]

favourite vids?

hmm...i love everybody...keke...and i thought the calling was pretty good....i can't really remember anymore...my brain is fogging up

[wackycashew]

"the calling"... that was that weird one with howie being that girl in disguise and all those slashed posters... o.O it was an interesting vid. i'm a lil' fuzzy, too. but i did like "everybody" a lot. they put a lot of effort into that one. hmmm... i also thought "as long as you love me" was pretty cute with them all morphing and how they changed personas. nick had a funky green outfit and crazy hair. :D

[lattae]

yes... 'as long as you love me' is my favourite vid... they all look cute in it... that innocent look :love: perhaps it's the time the released it... really caught me with my young raging hormones :laughing:

'drowning' is a nice song... I think it's really well done... it really makes you 'feel' the whole mood so well...

BSB lives...

btw, mush as I dislike nick carter... I think nick's 100x cuter than Justin timberlake... gee... does those JT lovers have eyes/taste? guess they are just bimbos like Britney :oops:

[xoxo]

oh. my. goodness. the boys are back! cant say exactly how happy i am about this news! although i've outgrown them (kinda) since their last album. i didnt even buy nick's album eventhough i was so in love with him the greater years of my adolescence. but now they're back as a group! i cant wait!!! teenyboppers unite again! :D like cloudy said, it feels weird to be talking about them after sooooo long. i just hope the new album will be really phenomenal. because i think the black and blue one didnt do as well as the previous ones. the first three definitely belong to the top american albums i've ever heard. i wish they'd come out dancing again

[wackycashew]

lattae, yeah... i liked the "drowning" track as well. the intro of that song actually reminded me of another song. haven't heard it for a while, if i remember, i'll edit this post later on.
EDIT: i remember now... the opening notes of "drowning" reminds me a bit of o-town's "all or nothing", which i think is a really nice track. =)

xoxo, haha... brings back such memories, eh? and i agree with ya... "black and blue" didn't do so well in comparison to their 3 previous albums. so, that's why it may have seemed that 'N Sync took over BSB in the american market. i didn't bother purchasing the nick solo albums either. i like the boys as a group more. love their harmony... especially when they do a cappella... :love: i think their dancing was ok. i actually thought 'N Sync danced better. not sure if they had the same choreographer or not. anywho, i still like the BSB vocals much much more. :happy:

[jessica]

yep, i have to agree with all you ppl who think that BSB is better than N'Sync.
i'm glad that they are regrouping... been waiting for a while... i only hope they will be as popular as before.

too bad N'Sync is regrouping also... can't stand them!

[lattae]

why does N'sync have to copy what bsb does all the time?? don't them have a mind of their own... oh wait... perhaps that's what they are lacking eh :laughing:

talk about a cappella, think bsb does a good job... I rank them behind 98 degrees in terms of a cappella... BSB is good... but 98 degrees is just smoother somehow...

[cinsin]

i remember they put out a compilation album as a 10-year anniversary of being together as a group, called "chapter one" or something along those lines. so, that "the start of the phenomenon" album... when did it come out? i might have missed it. and what are the 5 bonus tracks? :?

Really? I must have missed the 'Chapter One' album.
I'm not sure when 'The start of the Phenonmenon' was released but I went and did a search and realised that it's was actually only released in Australia, but the weird thing is, my sister got it from Indonesia :glug:
Oh and it was released in 1998. I'm not sure what the five bonus tracks are but here's a list of the songs. Maybe you can figure out which songs are the bonus ones.

Got It Goin' On
Anywhere For You
Get Down (You're The One For Me)
I'll Never Break Your Heart
Quit Playin' Games (With My Heart)
Boys Will Be Boys
Just To Be Close
I Wanna Be With You
Everytime I Close My Eyes
Darlin'
Let's Have A Party
Roll With It
Nobody But You
I'll Never Break Your Heart
Quit Playin' Games (With My Heart) (acoustic)
Interview With Backstreet Boys - (Just To Be Close/I'll Never Break Your Heart/If I Don't Have You Medly)
Got It Goin' On (Amadin's Mix)
Don't Leave Me

[wackycashew]

oh, thanks for typing up the track listing, nupengyou. :flowers: from what i can tell, that album is the same as the very first backstreet boys album. the medley and the remix at the end are definitely bonus tracks. i think the european version of the BSB album had the most tracks. we always got the short end of the stick here in canada. so, i remembered that i had to scrape around to dig up other tracks that weren't released on the canadian version albums. interesting how your sis got it from indonesia. but i think the asian edition of the albums usually have more songs or some bonuses. lucky duckies...

lattae mei, i think 98 degrees is really smooth when it comes to a cappella stuff as well. :happy: i guess i still like BSB more overall cuz they came on the scene before 'N Sync, 98 degrees, etc. etc. =)

[cherily]

Hmm i think bsb is still better than n'sync in some ways :happy: ..for some reasons i can only remember one of n'sync better songs and that was 'bye bye bye' i think or did i get it wrong? Bought one of bsb's old albums which was released like three yrs ago i think and it is still being played in my dad's car from time to time..Some of my favourite songs are 'quit playing games with my heart' and 'show me the meaning of being lonely'. That's quite a soulful song that will never fail to make me feel all solemn and depressed.. :thumbsup:

Still remembered that i have always liked brian :whistle: for his singing though most of my friends who were crazy over them at that time liked nicky alot together with his bro aaron who cant sing for nuts. One of his songs was 'I want candy' and he was like repeating it throughout the whole song itself..haha okay this is off topic but i m glad they are regrouping again..yay!

[lattae]

yah.. that I want candy song is so silly... the level of stupidity beats that of the worst of our noobs here...

I am glad he grew out of that sweet tooth :laughing:

[cinsin]

I am glad he grew out of that sweet tooth :laughing:

:? I thought the song 'I want Candy' was about a girl?
But I have to admit it was a pretty stupid song and the MV was even more pathetic.

[jay's new fan]

im like the biggest BSB fan ever and it's so great to see the 5 of them in oprah and billboard.. the wait's been worth it... they're the best group...!

[xiaoli]

Hey, what was the boo-boo in the Everybody vid? Oh, and I haven't seen all that many vids.. but the very first one I ever saw was Quit Playin' Games. Woah.. a soakin' wet Nick looking heartbroken in an unbuttoned white shirt.. :whistle:

Oh yeah I admit I kinda liked Aaron.. :D but it was only cuz of Nick! I have his debut single but that's it.. ehehe.

[wackycashew]

xiaoli... you know that dancing scene at the end of the Everybody vid in that large ballroom type setting? there was a part where brian forgot to dance. he just sorta sat there. :laughing: haha.. QPG was the first BSB MV i saw as well. whoa indeed... :whistle:

yeah, i thought aaron was a cute kid only cuz of nick. i only got one single of aaron's cuz it's got that "let the music heal your soul" song i love. and i have a 2nd-hand CD of his debut album cuz nick and brian wrote a song for him and nick sang some parts. didn't really bother with his albums later on though...

[zhy378]

yup i have to agree that Bsb are more internatinal popular than N Sync, even though N Sync broked Bsb's record of selling more cds.

oh yeah yesterday watched that Oprah winfrey show with the Bsb in it. I didn't planned to watch it since i didn't even know what day it was. But anyway about the whole show was on A.j.'s drug addiction from when aj. was first annouced of doing drugs to now. omg it was kinda funny on how they talked that everyone of the bsb except aj was in suit. plus i think they all still loked the same couple years ago, except i think Brian got teeny weeny bit cubbier. :wink2:

[lattae]

plus i think they all still loked the same couple years ago, except i think Brian got teeny weeny bit cubbier. :wink2:

his wife must have fed him well :laughing:

it's a trend for blissfully married guys to gain weight :bleh:

[regina12]

I'm so glad they're coming back. I mean BSB is the best singers from the West! When they sing acapella... man... Plus they write and produce... awesome!

Yeah, I saw the booboo in the video.. Brian looked so blur and cute sitting there. My fav video would have to be "The One". Heh... haven't had a chance to see them live... the first time and only time they came to Singapore, I was having exams... after that... zilch... but I loved them from the start and Black and Blue definitely the best so far.

I love Nick! Hoho!

[wackycashew]

haha... thanks for the info, zhy378. i didn't even know that BSB was on oprah yesterday. ah well... and 'N Sync only sold more CDs than BSB in the US alone, or maybe North America. but at the international level, they can't even begin to compare.

lattae mei, i totally agree about guys in blissful marriages gaining weight. i think brian and leanne (?) look so cute together. i can't wait to hear more news about this album that's coming out. :D

regina, i think "the one" was very inspiring cuz it was written for the fans, i believe. :)

[jessica]

yup i have to agree that Bsb are more internatinal popular than N Sync, even though N Sync broked Bsb's record of selling more cds.

oh yeah yesterday watched that Oprah winfrey show with the Bsb in it. I didn't planned to watch it since i didn't even know what day it was.

i've saw that show too!
i missed it at the regular time that the show was supposed to air so i stayed up to watch the rerun... it is nice to see them back together... i'm glad that A.J. can embrace his problem and have the courage to share it with everyone... i find the whole interview touching... it was funny about the part about A.J.'s clothes... i would never imagine A.J. wearing those pants! :laughing:
and i find everyone a little chubbier, not only Brian.

[wackycashew]

haha jessica... i guess they've all been enjoying some time off. :happy: and besides brian, kevin also has a wife, right? so, he's probably been fattened up, too. :laughing: and for sure... i think the first step of dealing with problems is to accept them and face them head-on. bravo, a.j.!

[Donny]

yey~ BSB back on the road! that's gonna be excitin... i used to be a bsb fan back the, but after they broke up, i turn to chinese songs cause there ain't gd songs in english anymore. that's how i know jay. the first chinese singer that i listen to, i think, or is it lee hom? anyway, i'm totally excited bout the issue. when will the new album be released?

[cloUdsuRFer]

lol...i'm so excited! i really hope they do come out with a cd....that's good...and its not just something they're thinking of doing..but never get around to.... i miss them :cry:

[cinsin]

you know that dancing scene at the end of the Everybody vid in that large ballroom type setting? there was a part where brian forgot to dance. he just sorta sat there.

I couldn't sleep last night so I decided to turn on the tv and you wouldn't guess what was on tv. The BSB's 'Everybody' video clip, and I saw the boo-boo Brian made. It was actually kinda funny, I can't believe I never actually noticed it before. I actually remember when the video clip first came out and I used to tape it so I could copy their dance when they were in the ballroom.

[aznboi08]

wow! that's pretty koo
can't wait for them to come out wit a new cd.

[Bunny]

Hmmm could it be time to dig out the old bsb poster from the back of my closet? They'll have to compete for wall space with Jay!

Wow it seemed like ages ago I was crazy about them... I was almost as obsessed about them a year or two ago as I am about Jay! Hahaha... It'll be interseting to hear them again after such a long break... I wonder if they've changed. I hope their CD is a success and everything, but old artists rarely make a good comeback... it's been tried before. oh well, at least we still love you!

[lattae]

well said bunny, BSB the fans still love you...

come to think of it, I was kind of a closet bsb fan... I never went crazy over them, collect all the fan stuff... in fact, I've never really told anyone I like BSB back then (I was more keen on 911-already defunct british boyband)... but amazingly, I've got all their CDs... i will unconsciously by them (like some inner natural force)

oh BSB...

btw, anyone has any idea how long we have to wait... I am so impatient already :bounce:

[jessica]

:glug:
i didn't notice it!... i think i'll have to rewatch mv to see if i can catch it... i hope i have this mv... this is one of my favorite BSB mv... i love their customs!

nupengyou : you used to tape it too?... hehe, i didn't try to dance like them though... too bad i don't have access to their mv's on tv anymore :dry:

i hope their new album comes out soon too! :happy:

[wackycashew]

haha... i remember people trying to learn that dance. BSB came to toronto one time and had a mini concert thing at MuchMusic, which is a local TV channel for MVs and other cool stuff. anyway, some fans were selected to do stuff for them. this girl did that dance sequence for them. it was pretty interesting to watch. :happy: i think that's one of their best dance routines, if not the best.

[cinsin]

nupengyou : you used to tape it too?... hehe, i didn't try to dance like them though... too bad i don't have access to their mv's on tv anymore :dry:

Haha yeah I did, I used to tape this program called Video Hits on tv all the time just to see what new MVs have come out. I had to tape it because it was on in the mornings from 8am-10am and I could never be bothered to get up to watch it so I taped it. I really liked the dance in the Everbody MV that's why I tried to dance like them. And the costumes were nice too.

[lattae]

i think that's one of their best dance routines, if not the best.

yah, it is one of their very few dance routines... cos brian and kevin can't dance to save their s :laughing: okay... not that I dance well, but the both of then really cannot make it in the dance department, esp brian...

that's why everybody is that best... cos it's the 'only' :bleh:

[wackycashew]

haha lattae mei...

there's also the "as long as you love me" chair thing and the "all i have to give" hat routine. but i think "everybody" is probably the best and most solid dance routine for them. other ones are pretty simplistic. and brian is definitely much more of a singer than a dancer. :D

[pop]

wow i've read through all posts and i realize there are none who liked nsync more than the BSB...seems like i'm the only one who thinks nsync is better...but i think that is because nsync knew how 2 dance better and that i am a dancer myself..

have to admit though that the BSB has more better songs and they sell so much more than nsync (most of nsync fans has tried denying this fact)

about their new album...well i think it's quite risky for the BSB or nsync to release new albums at this moment when hip-hop is the trend
unless i am wrong or all of a sudden, boy-pop resurfaced i think it will not be good for both boybands..
that's just my opinion i dunno about u guys :happy:

[wackycashew]

yeah pop... not sure how well pop albums would do at this point. but i'm sure there will be some diehard BSB fans out there. heehee... and i do agree about 'N Sync being able to dance better than BSB. perhaps that's their appeal to their fans. but i still prefer BSB myself. :happy: admittedly, i think 'N Sync had some good songs. i liked their ballads. but BSB still had more hits that i liked overall. :D

[pop]

haha cash i never thought there will be a situation between nsync and bsb fans like ours...we should be arguing!! :laughing:

anywayz kinda a nice feeling to call a truce between the fans of this 2 groups
the artists are no rivals..it is the fans instead that are rivals to each other.. :laughing:

yah...i personally think justin is better being solo..
i knew fans of nsync will bash me up for saying this but i wonder what do the BSB fans think about this? :happy:

[stinki_tofu]

funny~!~!
thinking about it.....
they use to be my favorite band.....
hahahaahaha...boy band....
I just started listening to their songs yesterday...
I think I'm falling all over for them again....
I haven't listened to english music for ages....

I have like all their albums....
looks like I was a huge fan for them too....
I went to their Montreal concert too....haha....
I got like 6 free tickets.....went with friends....
it's so funny thinking about it~!~!

But now no one can replace Jay~!~!hehee
but for english music......they still are goooooood...
I really like their slow songs......

oh oh....I rewatched the mv
soooo funny....when Brian screwed up.....
thanks for reinding me cashew....hehe...
I AJ and Brian's voice~!~! it's so nice....

congrats to AJ......he finally quit drinking and drugs~!~!~!

I just felt I had to share this with you all~!~!^^

MERRY CHRISTMAS TOO ALL~!~! xoxoxoxoxox

[lattae]

I don't care.... I miss the good o' pop song, boyband days... I don't really like english pop now... I think that MnN (watever :bleh:) guy, yadayada people should go get a life... can't stand all the f-ing in the songs...

gimme BSB :love:

[w4t3r_lily]

I love BSB..man.. i even join their international fans club..but really sad now..where are they?? after nick solo..haven't heard any of them anymore..

Well..i think the dancing thing is a must for boyband..hahaha..and goodlooking too..but the really must thing is they CAN SING..

[regina12]

Hey! I joined their international club too but after a while.. it was down. No more :cry: Really hope they come back soon with their excellent music. I really miss them too.

[wackycashew]

pop, i think the whole feud b/w BSB and 'N Sync was created by the media and the fans really took it to heart. you know how artists are always being compared with each other... anyway, i wouldn't bash 'N Sync or anything. they're not bad. i just like BSB more cuz they came before 'N Sync. the same goes for 98 Degrees. they had some great songs as well. i usually don't care as much about the artists' looks and such. they gotta attract me with their music first. so, it's hard for me to just name off artists that i like at times cuz i usually go by songs that i like. then i end up liking so many songs by different people that i seem to like a whole slew of different artists. :laughing:

tofu, i haven't spun my BSB albums for a while now... maybe i'll do that one day. :) just to recall all those good ol' pop songs. haha...

lattae mei, i know what you mean. i enjoyed those pop days. i think i've always liked pop music because a lot of asian music is centered around the pop genre. they're diverging a big now, but i just remember that the songs that were popular in HK or Taiwan were different from the song that people would like here. anyway, i'd rather listen to pop than rap that contains so many swear words.

w4t3r_lily, i totally agree. if they can't sing, then forget it. i don't wanna look at a bunch of pretty faces who have to lip-sync in live concerts. the dancing gives the group more appeal for live shows. otherwise, i couldn't care less if they can dance or not. i remember watching a faye wong karaoke clip from her concert. she just stood there and sang for the whole night. people attend her concert cuz she can sing! not cuz she can dance and have all these interesting stage effects or other factors. and when you get at the heart of it, that's what music is all about. this is getting a lil' off topic... but take jay for instance. he has a lot of elaborate costumes and cool effects. but if he can't sing, then i wouldn't care about all those extra stuff. :wink2:

regina, all of us are hoping that they would come back soon. :yeah: i never joined any fan clubs like that. but they were sooo popular! everywhere they go, they were filling stadiums and the girls... sooo crazy. they would follow the boys around and grab at them and such when they meet them.

oh, i just caught the ending of "sabrina, the teenage witch" the other day and saw that re-run where BSB guest-starred in that episode. have you guys seen that? they drank some soda pop at the end while playing bball in the school gym and then started to sing! :D i remember watching that episode quite a while ago. how appropriate that with their comeback, i got to see that bit of the re-run again. ^0^

[regina12]

:laughing: I remember watching that episode a long long time ago. It was so cute. Though I can't remember exact details. backstreet.net used to be like the best fan site as well until the copyright issues got them down. It's still running but u don't get as much good stuff anymore.

[jessica]

Haha yeah I did, I used to tape this program called Video Hits on tv all the time just to see what new MVs have come out. I had to tape it because it was on in the mornings from 8am-10am and I could never be bothered to get up to watch it so I taped it. I really liked the dance in the Everbody MV that's why I tried to dance like them. And the costumes were nice too.

oh, that's not a bad time!... the tv program that i used to record from starts at 1:35 a.m. - 2:23 a.m and it's only broadcasted once a week (but it's cancelled now :-x )... i have to stay up to watch it.

wacky : i vaguely remember seeing that episode... it was a while ago... did they sing at the end?

[wackycashew]

wacky : i vaguely remember seeing that episode... it was a while ago... did they sing at the end?
heya jessica, yeah they did... they sang "as long as you love me" a cappella, i believe. they were in the school gym playing bball, and then they had those bottles of soda. after taking a sip, they all started to sing except howie. and howie didn't know what was going on. and then he took a sip too, and started to sing. then he joined the rest of the boys and they all sang on stage. it was for some school event that sabrina was in charge of, i think. :happy:

[jessca]

oh, i just caught the ending of "sabrina, the teenage witch" the other day and saw that re-run where BSB guest-starred in that episode. have you guys seen that? they drank some soda pop at the end while playing bball in the school gym and then started to sing! :D i remember watching that episode quite a while ago. how appropriate that with their comeback, i got to see that bit of the re-run again. ^0^
Haha..i remember that... :laughing: I think Sabrina drank some of the 'talent soda' so she could win a singing contest, and then the five guys drank it..and thats why they sing so well hehe... :bleh:

'As long as you love me' is really the only ballad other than 'Show me the meaning of being lonely' that i remember being nice...i wasnt really into music when they were around.. :oops:

[jessica]

heya jessica, yeah they did... they sang "as long as you love me" a cappella, i believe. they were in the school gym playing bball, and then they had those bottles of soda. after taking a sip, they all started to sing except howie. and howie didn't know what was going on. and then he took a sip too, and started to sing. then he joined the rest of the boys and they all sang on stage. it was for some school event that sabrina was in charge of, i think. :happy:

thanks wacky! :happy: ... now i remember.
do you know if they participated in any other sitcom?

just to comment on the N'Sync vs BSB (i agree with you wacky)... i admit that N'Sync does dance better, but those dance moves from 'bye bye bye' gotta go... it looked so cheesy... there are a few ballads i like from them too... but BSB have better songs and i prefer their voices... i can't stand Justin's high pitched voice most of the time. :crazy: ... i want to listen to songs, not watch guys dance... for that i can watch background dancers (and they are more skilled at it)... hope i didn't sound too harsh :sweat:

[zhy378]

hey, just hear a news on AJ, he was kinda hero few days ago. here's the news.
---A.J. McLean broke into action star mode in Las Vegas last Monday night, chasing down and catching a fleeing thief, reports the Las Vegas Sun. The song-and-dance man was spending his hard-earned royalties in Rocks, the 24-hour jewelry store (only in Vegas, people) located in the Hard Rock Hotel, when a fellow patron ran out with $40,000 diamond ring. "The girl at the counter screamed that she could not leave the store, so A.J. just shot out of there like a rocket," a friend of the singer's tells the paper. McLean caught the thief in the parking lot with the help of a bike-riding hotel security guard.---
so what do you guys think?

[cloUdsuRFer]

hahaha...tha'ts cool...but...isn't security at them kinda places really tight?

yay for a.j. superhero extraordinaire =)

[wackycashew]

what an interesting tidbit, zhy378... :D *pictures A.J. chasing after the guy* haha... glad that he helped to catch the thief. the funny part was imagine what that bike-riding hotel security guard looked like on the bike while patrolling... :bleh:

[jessica]

i read that news in a paper a few days ago... glad to know that A.J. caught that guy and not get hurt in the process... guess he knows what's he doing.

wacky : haha (thinking about that image)... the guards/police are always the last to arrive on the scene... typical.

[xJayChoux]

:laughing: that's funny! thanks for the lil' info! ^^ i just can't imagine A.J. chasing a thief....hehe...

[msluckygurli]

WHAT?!! BSB HAS A NEW CD...wow. dang, i havent heard about that yet. hehe oh well. i'll check it out one of these days... :)

[cloUdsuRFer]

lol..its not out yet....they're just getting to gether to write/produce one.....

i wish they'd hurry up.....*sigh*

[gr8t_gal]

:love: U know... i was such a BSB fan 7-8 yrs ago... i was even called 'BSG' :laughing: .
I still prefer their old albums. But i'm glad that they're still together as a band, at least they didn't split like most bands and groups.
But u know Aaron Carter? Damnnn, he looks sooo much like Nick now!
I quite like each of their characters becoz' they're each so unique in a special way.
I still have that Interactive CD of 'Backstreets Back' where u can find out more and listen to their interviews... :laughing: LOL!
:laughing:
Ahhh... Memories of the good ol' days.... man i feel old right now. LOL!

[Fantasy_Surrealism]

hey gr8t_gal you remind me of how much i used to love BSB...i have that interactive cd you're talking about as well...i have all their albums..and really loved them quite a few years back...

to show how outdated i am...i still have a poster of them up on my wall..and that was when they were on tour in sydney in the year 2000...lol...and yeah...

aaron carter does look alot like nick now..but their brothers...so thats alright...and i so agree that they are still a band now and didnt split like the other boy band groups...anyway...im waiting for their cd patiently although i wouldnt mind if they hurried up a bit...lol

[Yvonne]

Glad to hear this news!
I have been wondering where they went...
and heard that they had problems with
the record company!

Anticipating their new songs!

[zhy378]

Yay, their cd is out in summer!! :happy:
here's the news:

Backstreet Boys fans can look forward to a comeback album from the band this summer, followed by a tour in the fall, Rolling Stone reports.

The band has spent their two-year hiatus reflecting on their success and getting ready for their new album.

The songs that are currently being recorded for the album in various Los Angeles studios are said to be a more mature sound from the teen pop stars.

The album will feature a couple of ballads co-written by Howie Dorough that are reminiscent of Craig David's urban soul vibe.

The boys say that the album will touch on many different styles of music to reflect the all the music they have experienced over the past couple of years.

They also plan on collaborating with an array of different artists including the Matrix and the Underdogs. Keith Richardson and Nick Carter are also hoping to write with hip hop/funk musician Kenna.

[panda_shine]

Oh this morning I woke up to my alarm clock and instead of having that beep beep sound, I have it set to the radio.. and they were interviewing AJ's Mom, Denise.. and she said the boys have already recorded 10 songs in studio and it will be out in the summer! :) And she's also writing a 2nd book.. So happy and excited (about the album :wink2:) ! :)

[xiaoli]

Finally.. new stuff. ^^,

Nick Carter seems so different these days though.. not as cute and innocent as he used to be. Isn't he dating Paris Hilton!? And when I saw him on Punk'd, he was dressed up with all this bling bling and hanging out with Tommy Lee.

[wackycashew]

wow, 10 songs already?!?! thanks for the info, panda. :happy:

xiaoli, yeah... nick looks so different from before when he was so young and cute (and skinny =P). i didn't see that thing with tommy lee though.

[bee]

cashew you are so polite in not calling him fat! but i thought he started to get kinda fat before. geez...i didnt even know they were still together :glug: nick used to be my favorite, lol~

this is all about stuff in my life from...3 or 4 years ago? 0_o""
i wonder if this cd is going to sell a lot...:hmm:

[cloUdsuRFer]

panda_shine> lucky mistake! ...yay...some new news :D

yeah...when i heard nick and paris were dating...i was :laughing:
funny stuff

w00t ....still waiting!

[panda_shine]

xiaoli: yeah I agree Nick has changed so much though I really wish he didn't. I think he kind of changed after he started going solo .. I miss the cute Nick! :happy: And yeah he's with Paris Hilton but I haven't seen the episode of him with Nick so I am not sure :oops:

I think (or I hope^^) this cd will sell a lot.. I heard a rumour it would be their last one? I know for sure lots of BSB fans are waiting for it! I've waited for such a long time for this album to come out now. :oops:

[wackycashew]

oh, nick's with paris now? interesting... i haven't kept up with any entertainment news whatsoever. heehee...

bee mei... why, of course... :angel: oh, my fave were nick and brian. :happy: but yeah, nick put on quite a bit of weight. that was probably why all the girls started to oogle at justin timberlake instead of him... >.<

[KaiLien]

I think it's kinda strange that Nick and Paris are a couple. I think she probably picks out his clothes or something, because he is definitely looking hotter recently. I didn't really dig the whole rocker thing he was going for when his album first came out but I think he's toned down now.

Yeah, Nick did put on some weight but I think he looks ok now. He probably won't get back to his old weight but I think he looks good now. Not too fat or skinny, somewhere in the middle. That's fine by me. :)

OMG...speaking of Nick Carter, I've met him before! When he did his solo tour last year. My friends and I found his bus and he came outside to let the fans take pics and give him gifts. It was really cool. I was so excited! :excited: Well, duh. :bleh: He was nice. Too bad he didn't sign autographs or anything.

[Shanhaigirl]

wow, new album?! i didn't expect to hear from them again!
*recollects her teenage years with BSB obsession*
*sigh* that was long time ago!
But they are back again!!! now, that's brave of them!

and yeah, Nick has gotten kinda fat! i can't say that i ever liked him...
I'd like to see some new pics of Brian though :love: :love: :love:
now he is my favourite!!! that cute smile, that amazing personality, that amazing voice, amazing strength of charachter(remember that heart operation?)!

KaiLIen, you got to meet Nick? wow, lucky you are! when i was in TX i dreamed of meeting them so much!

haha, Lisa, Rach, you too seem to like the same ppl all the time :), Sungie, Nick :)

[sweet_angel8]

wow... they're still around?! haven't heard from them for... years!!! and isn't that nick going out with paris hilton? lol, ahh... the days when backstreet boys was still popular.. ahaha i remember how at school we'd debate over which guy is best and we'd come up with the assumption that howie was gay!!! lol

[panda_shine]

ooo same here my favorite BSB were always Nick or Brian but I liked Brian more :love:

About pictures of Brian.. I only found these ones that were last summer with his baby, Baylee and wife, Leighanne.
http://www.allbackstreet.net/gallery/pages/213_briansbabybaylee_080803.shtml

Oh and this is Brian Littrell's fan site that even have some news on Brian's brother Harold (whom I've never seen until now):
http://littrellfans.com/

And yeah, my friend and I were talking about the BSB awhile ago and she asked me what happened to them.. and then I told her I think Howie is homosexual because back in the days Howie never seemed to had gf nor was he ever rumoured with anyone etc.

[wackycashew]

those pics of baylee looks sooo cute!! :happy: especially the one of him looking at his toes. heehee... thanks panda. =)

KaiLien: you've met nick before?! :excited: that's so awesome!!

patya: yes, i love brian's sweet voice and smile. him and nick are like best buddies. :D heehee... and i guess bee and i have similar taste... :rolleyes:

[supawan]

:laughing: Panda thank for pic hmm...i love everybody...keke... :yeah: :bleh:
and i thought the calling was pretty good :excited:

[kakashi-kun]

oh no... not another one.

the last thing we need is another backstreet boy cd.

but hey.. they get the ladies, so power to them.

[Shanhaigirl]

Panda, thanks so much for the links! oh his baby look so cute!!! i bet when he grows up he'd be very talented too!!!
oh, i forgot how cute Brian was :love: , thanx for reminding :)
just look in his eyes! and his smile :love:

[wh00shwh00sh]

hua hua hua!!
i used to love them back in the day. XD
i remember AJ was my fav. XD
anyways, i cant wait for this new CD, i shall purchase it!!

[panda_shine]

and i thought the calling was pretty good
You mean the song, "The Call"? :wink2:


Oh and I heard that Boyz II Men helped the BSB a lot in this upcoming album. That's kind of neat and I have a feeling it'll be good! I wonder if they'll keep the same kinda of sound?


Here's a picture of Paris Hilton and Nick Carter I found:
http://straitstimes.asia1.com.sg/mnt/media/image/launched/2004-04-11/paris.jpg

[Hannah]

finally.. a new album...its been so long since i last heard or see their songs or mv...they are my all time fav boyband n their songs are awesome...i'll definitely be the first to get their album when it comes out =p

[oxliddoebooyaxo]

wow, new album soon?

i wonder what it sounds like, its been a long time.

I used to be so obsessed w/ them i remember kevin was my all time favorite XD

[fluffysheep]

yah i always did like backstreet boys over all of the other boy bands...their songs are such good songs for big-group-sing-alongs, especially for college students in dorm rooms. it's surprising that guys aren't horribly embarrassed to sing backstreet boys songs very loudly and very off-key...instead, I get embarrassed for them.

[zhy378]

The Backstreet Boys have tentatively set October 12, 2004 as the release date for their new album.
------------------------
though ofcourse the date might change :wink2:

[panda_shine]

Yeah actually when I was younger a lot of my guy friends liked the BSB too and it was funny how they would try to dance like them to impress the girls :laughing:

And Thanks for the info zhy378 but it's kind of long from now.. 5 more months :oops: and I really hope the album comes out in time... I've waited far too long :oops:

[lattae]

dance like BSB? but I always thought BSB can't really dance... especially brian :laughing:

maybe they are taking the "clowning" approach to attract girls :rolleyes:

[panda_shine]

clowning effect? lol

Yeah the BSB can't really dance (well compared to N Sync) but they aren't THAT bad.. I really liked some of their routines.. especially the Backstreet Back one and.. As Long As You Love Me (with the chair and all :wink2: )

[sughie_lee]

The Backstreet Boys have tentatively set October 12, 2004 as the release date for their new album.
------------------------
though ofcourse the date might change :wink2:

4 months are too long liau... can they make it faster?? :bleh:
i can't wait no more.

[ericheng]

BACKSTREET BOYS!?!?!?!?! omg... cool band... but i never heard of them making a new album... pretty weird..... i expect some good songs.... better not be crappy ones... like the ones in nsync... their new song pop is a stunner...... backstreet boys are way cooler... i have all his albums... unless there are three of them

[snow_ella]

:excited: Wow, BSB has a new album coming out!! OMG that's Fantastic!! I still reckon they were the all time legend of all boy bands!!! They really brought the whole idol business to a new level!! :happy: Can't wait for it!!

Nowadays, not aren't any idol type artists such as BSB and Spice Girls like back then. No one to be obssessed over...like you'll like their song and that's it, no particular interest in the actual artist :oops: ,maybe that's when i turned to kpop and Cpop!! :D

Oh and I heard that Boyz II Men helped the BSB a lot in this upcoming album. That's kind of neat and I have a feeling it'll be good! I wonder if they'll keep the same kinda of sound?

panda_shine: Thanks for the news, two great lengendary bands united!! It's gonna be outa this world!! And OMG i can't believe Nick is going out with Paris Hilton, the all time biggest slut!! :crazy:

[tvbaddict]

aww im so glad they're working on a new cd! i love BSB, but as far as i know...they never broke up. anyways, cant wait till their new cd comes out! :)

[wackycashew]

http://www.mtv.com/shared/media/news/images/b/Backstreet_Boys/sq-bsb-wango04-intv-mtv.jpg

PASADENA, California — The Backstreet Boys' return to record shelves this year will mark the start of two comeback efforts: that of the group, of course, and that of the producer who led the charge during the '90s pop explosion.

"We just got finished working with Max Martin again," an animated A.J. McLean said of the producer behind countless Backstreet, 'NSYNC and Britney Spears hits. "He kind of went into hiding for a little bit, took a little break from the pop world and had a baby. And we caught wind through our record company that there was a song he wrote that he thought would be cool for us to try.

"It's a little bit more of a rock edge," he continued, "but we went in and tried it and it turned out great. It's a great record, and it's good to be around Max again."

Like the Backstreet Boys themselves, Martin is blending the sound he became know for with the current hot styles. "Music has changed," Nick Carter explained. "So he's gotten back in, he's reinvented himself, and hopefully we can be the new product of what that is."

In the studio with Martin and other producers, the Boys are doing some reinventing of their own.

"It's got urban, it's got pop, it's got rock, it's got ... everything," Brian Littrell said of their new music. "We're just kind of mixing the pot up and seeing what comes out and trying to put a great record together, just good, positive music. ... It's a little different, but still the traditional Backstreet sound because you've got all five voices on it."

The Backstreet Boys are more than halfway finished with their still-untitled new album, which will also feature a collaboration with Boyz II Men produced by Walter Afanasieff (Destiny's Child, Mariah Carey) and a teaming with a cappella veterans Take 6.

"Howie [Dorough] wrote a song, and [Take 6] arranged it for us, and we performed a little bit of it tonight a cappella," Kevin Richardson said backstage at the recent Wango Tango Festival (see "William Hung Overshadows Backstreet Reunion, All-Star Lineup At Wango Tango (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1487059/05172004/hung_william.jhtml)").

The group recorded four songs with the Underdogs, a production team best known for work with Ruben Studdard and Stacie Orrico (see "Backstreet Boys Rekindling Fire In Studio After Three Years (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1485344/02262004/backstreet_boys.jhtml)").

"The first records we did with them were very urban, what they normally do," Carter said. "And then we said, 'Why don't we just try to do something different?' We listened to, like, a Peter Gabriel record and we wrote, all of us collectively, wrote a song with them that was just, like, pushing the envelope. And we really got a chance to see how talented they are as producers and writers. They're good 'cause they're flexible."

Carter and his cohorts are aiming for a late summer release, followed by a fall tour.

"We're gonna try to kick off in September, October, maybe do Europe," Dorough said. "We've actually started talking about doing some shows over in Japan and China for the first time. Most likely the plan would be to come back to the States and kick off a world tour. Hopefully for a whole year."

"We just have to make the right record first, then we go from there," Littrell said.

[iny]

uau..BSB are back, amazing, there was a time in which i was fanatic about them. oh, and Kevin looks hot in that news pic... hahhaa... i dunno, i think my boy band phased passed 3 years ago, but i am curious to know what is their style going to be. and i can't wait to here the song they recorded with Boys II Men. i thought that they would never come back, especially with Nick Carter going solo...

[KiKi]

can't wait for the next BSB album this oct/nov!!
i heard the new song "moving on" - it's fab!!!!! :D

i was almost in tears when i first saw the 5 of them getting back together...
they looked very happy!!!!

[mein]

[KaiLien]

I went to a concert a couple of weeks ago and they hosted the event. Well, only for a little bit. I felt cheated. lol. Anyways, they sang a clip of their new stuff, not sure if it was moving on or not because I can't remember but it sounded ok. Not awesome or anything. I was kinda sad. O well.

[snow_ella]

kAILIEN: you saw them live??? :excited: That's mad!!! BUt i' sorri to hear that you were dissapointed!! I would hope that there are some awsome stuff their cd! i mention i LOVE your banner!! I luv nic tse! He's the best!! :excited:

Twinnie: thanks for the very useful bit of info!! :D

[regina12]

Oh my gosh! They have the new song out already? Can anyone get it? I have to start tuning in to the local english radio stations again! I am so excited! I am going to the states soon to study. I hope I can finally see them in the flesh!!! Can u believe that I've never :cry:

[NikeSwooshIn]

Weee i cant wait for the new album.. nick is my favorite. I loveee their old cd's haha the good old days.

[KaiLien]

Oh my gosh! They have the new song out already? Can anyone get it? I have to start tuning in to the local english radio stations again! I am so excited! I am going to the states soon to study. I hope I can finally see them in the flesh!!! Can u believe that I've never :cry:


Cool, they said that they are going to do a tour in the fall so maybe you can go see them in concert live. :)

Nick's my fave too. One day I must scan my Nick pix for you all.

[lattae]

any brian/kevin lovers in here :unsure: I think they are way cool :thumbsup:

[wackycashew]

twinnie: i've seen them live here in toronto before. :happy: i was actually gonna go to both the afternoon and evening show, but only ended up going to the afternoon one cuz something came up. it was really cool to see them perform. :D

they have a new song called Beautiful Woman. i've been trying to get it somewhere, but the link is not working right now. if i get it, i'll upload it. :) from what i heard, it sounds michael jackson-ish and nick hits some high notes. :glug:

lattae: i like nick and brian. ^0^

[cinsin]

Aww...you got to see them perform Lisa? And look at you being greedy...wanting to see them twice lol I would've been even MORE jealous if you got to see them twice in ONE day :D

And you've heard their new song already?! Hehe I wonder if they've played it on the radio yet. And doesn't Nick usually sing the high notes anyway :? So it wouldn't have been that hard for him to sing them.

I think my fave members were AJ and Howie D, I don't think a lot of people liked them...especially since AJ was in rehab or was it Howie? Hehe can't remember anymore.

[snow_ella]

Twinnie: :excited: My fav's are Nick and Brian too!! Hi5!!! :excited: You're one lucky girl! Next time you see them, be sure to tell them that J9 misses them ok!! :D

Cindy: You like Aj and howie?? :? i'm sorri...i've always thought they were kinda :wacko: !!! hehe...jk jk!! They are just not my fav that's all! :D

[wackycashew]

cindy: haha... yeah... i went with some friends. :happy: they were only having a few shows in toronto, so we wanted to make the most of it. =P no, i haven't heard their new song yet. just saw someone post it at SS, but that links wasn't working. what i posted were comments that peeps made at SS. and yeah, nick does sing high parts (though howie sings all that falsetto stuff usually). but i think the members there commented on the high part thing cuz they figured that with nick all grown up now, his voice would've matured more or something. :unsure: and A.J. was the one who went into rehab for drinking.

twinnie: it's not like i can drop by and see them anytime, janine. :laughing: anyway... *high five* :)

EDIT:
i got the song. :excited: it's really different from their usual stuff. check it out here:

Twinnie: hehe...oops...silly me!! :D Nick wasn't that young back then was he?? I didn't think his voice would've changed that much!! :? Didn't Nick have his own solo single?? It didn't go very well i didn't think!! :cry:

[lattae]

I am currently listening to their older songs... like "anywhere for you", "I'll never someone like you"... "back to your heart" :love:

why can't there be more of these sweet pop songs these days... everything is so :wacko: I just lack the vocab to describe it... "strong" I guess :?

[panda_shine]

Nick wasn't that young back then was he?? I didn't think his voice would've changed that much!! :? Didn't Nick have his own solo single?? It didn't go very well i didn't think!! :cry:

Yeah I think Nick was like 14 when he first started the BSB.. so I guess his voice would've changed a lot since then. And yeah Nick had his own solo album and I don't think it did that well (well compared to Justin Timberlake!^^).

[snow_ella]

panda_shine: 14?? :glug: Wow!! That's so young!! Yeah, i didn't like his single...but justin timberlake...i don't like him :dry: Nick is so much better...maybe because i didn't like N'sync all that much back then!!

[lattae]

looks wise, I think Nick is way cuter than JT... but to a certain extent, JT has a better voice.

but I feel that Nick's voice has matured a lot, he's improved really... I couldn't stand him when he was a "screeching" teen

[panda_shine]

Hmm I didn't really liked Justin when he was in N Sync but I started liking him after he came out with his solo album... but now I don't really like him now. I heard N Sync was going to get back together to do an album but Justin said he didn't want to be part of it.

But ANYWAYS... I have some Backstreet Boys news :-) :-) I can't wait till their new album :happy:

Backstreet Boys choose comeback single

03/11/2004 - 17:05:59

The Backstreet Boys have taken another step to assure fans they are still together, by announcing the first single from their anticipated album.

The singers are currently working on their first album in over three years, and many critics have been casting doubts over a return.

But six weeks after announcing plans for a world tour, band member AJ McLean's mother Denise declares their new song has been chosen and it's called Poster Girl.

She says: "The boys are now in Stockholm recording with Max Martin, and will be back to their respective homes at the end of this month. As far as my son tells me, the first single is still due out at the end of the November."

[Hanzo]

backstreet's back alright! da da da da da da da da da....
now everybody everywhere....

haha i'll stop now, damn BSB brings back memories from junior high and thats
6 years ago for me.

[zhy378]

yay, like finally more bsb news:
"Brian Littrell, one-fifth of megaselling group Backstreet Boys, has officially signed with Christian music label Reunion Records. Littrell has always wanted to record a Christian album since his musical roots are in and around religious music. But before that project is done, fans can expect a new Backstreet Boys album by spring of next year and an as-yet-unpicked single to be hitting airwaves in January."
http://www.chartattack.com/damn/2004/12/0607.cfm

:whistle: i almost thought they were gonna give up on their cd as n sync did since i havent heard much these days, but *whew* ...geez spring next year is a long wait, i'll be old by then. lol :rolleyes:

[kasic_fantasy]

[oNEgumDRop]

sigh.. oh well.. i guess good stuff needs patience.. haha.. (:

[panda_shine]

Thanks for the info zhy378! :happy:

Yeah I think the NSync already gave up.. I remember I heard that they were gonna make another album but Justin didn't want to be part of NSync anymore? :?

Anyways, back to BSB.. Yeah I am really excited about their album!! And that's cool that Brian is gonna make a Christian/religious album.. I've always admired his religious faith :)

[wackycashew]

i was starting to think that this project isn't gonna be a go anymore, but i'm glad to hear that it's gonna be released in the spring. :thumbsup: and brian's Christian album sounds like something to look forward to. :excited: thanks for the news. :happy:

[SimpleBlackHumor89]

woah, nsync broke up?? uh, no, they're just on a long break, im still pretty mad about that, i love them! but no matter when they did not break up, they're still officially a band, they reunited for their anual basketball game for the charity

anyways, back to bsb, what cd are you guys talking about, i mean i havent heard ANYTHING, about backstreet boys releasing a cd soon , other than they have regrouped and are recording... i wonder how their music will sound like, i mean the whole "pop" music world, has turned in to a rap/R&B/hip hop atmosphere in the US

[let.me.live]

Hmmm... good news! I really liked BSB when they were going strong in the 90's. But of course, Hanson is still my favorite 90's band. They STILL come out with fantastically good stuff

[PaoAiJieLun]

really, they have a new CD??? hmmm.....

i really loved them back then... heheh... till i moved on to loving Linkin Park, and then to other solo artists... and now, Chinese and Korean Pop....

[zhy378]

okay so their first single is gonna come out on the radio on March 18. "which still deciding between "Incomplete," "I Still" and "Weird World,some radio stations began playing a leaked song called "Incomplete" last month, that many have assumed it's the first single from the group's as-yet-untitled new album, but that may not be the case."The group finished recording last month and is now narrowing down a list of 43 completed tracks to the 15 or so that'll make the album "
here's more info: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1497421/20050223/backstreet_boys.jhtml

:whistle: well, i have heard their song Incomplete, not bad, pretty popish lol. but yeah now i cant wait! :happy:

[mysadworld]

oh..i heard that bsb's coming together once again
but i have not heard any of their new songs!
i hope to hear them soon!
there were once a very good band...
i hope its still now!

[fajitapita]

OMG! so exited! BSB reunited! ahahaha. been hearing rumors about a new CD for ages, and now finally! woo hoo... gawd, brings me back to like 6th grade when my walls were literally covered w/ their posters, like you couldnt even see the white of the walls. and 43 songs? geez they've been working on that for awhile.

[w4t3r_lily]

They've got their new cds? :glug: I never heard about it. Wow..i want to hear it :excited: The cds contains 43 songs? :crazy: gosh i think i never heard them again for ages. I used to be their big fans and like fajitapita i have my bsb wall too..although now the wall's name changed into my Jay's wall :tongue: Can't wait to hear their new songs. Maybe they should change their names into Backstreet's man cos they're not boys anymore :tongue:

[eiko]

im sooo excited!!!!!!!! i have all their cds, im a big fan, i have this backstage dvd thingy and it shows like their tour and stuff....
43 songs??!!! WOW!!!!!! cant wait!!!!!!!!!!

[ChOuMYFUn]

OmiGoodies!! I am the HappIEST GIrl ALIVE!! I LoOOooOve BSB!! and i cant WAIT for their NEw ALBUM!!! YiPPPPEEE!!! hopefully it will come out soooooon!! *fingers crossed*

[kamui]

i heard a sample of their song on trl like a week ago~ it wasn't as good or improvd as i thought it'd be.. i mean its kinda like their old stuff~ sometimes they need to change it alittle to keep their fans hooked and hook new fans :) i used to like bsb, back on their 1st and 2nd albums

[jaychou_21]

I'm not a big fan of the Backstreet Boys.
But it's good to hear that they're regrouping. :happy:
I think they've just finished their New York City tour last Tuesday? :hmm:
It's been quite a long while since they parted ways.
I loved their greatest hits album so I'm
anticipating their upcoming release.
Good Luck to the 5 of them and I hope that they
will last even just for a few more years. :D

[sweetzmelly]

I went to the BSB club tour this past Monday night @ NYC. The concert was held the last two nights - 3/21 & 3/22. It was HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This concert was standing and the club was small. Even if you were in the back, you could still have a good look of them comparing in a big arena concert. These club tour concerts were just something they wanted to do for the fans. I think they just wanted to regroup fans together because they took a very long break. I think 2-3 years already. I was up front. I stood 8 hours on line in the freezing cold just for that spot haha!

I met them upclose 3 times!! [3/21: When the entered and left the club. 3/22: When they left the club.]

Sorry to make this short. I'll update details and pictures soon. Just wanted to let you guys know.

To all the BSB fans, BACKSTREET'S BACK allrriiigghhht!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wackycashew]

i'm looking forward to this as well. i think there are some previews floating around. :happy: anyway, just wanted to clarify that zhy378 said that the boys were narrowing down a list of 43 to the final tracklist of around 15. the CD will NOT contain 43 songs. :wacko: that'd be insane. :tongue: i know previously they had different numbers of songs depending on european/asian, canadian, US releases. but i hope it'd be the same this time. i think a realistic number would be 10-13 tracks, and maybe more in european/asian countries if they're doing what they did before. =)

sweetzmelly: wow! that's so awesome that you got to see them for 2 nights in a row. :excited: thanks in advance for sharing your experience and pics. :-)

i've been going through a trip down memory lane and listening to my BSB CDs again. :rolleyes: i think the 3rd one is still my fave of all time, with the most number of tracks that i like. =P heehee...

[regina12]

Oh man I am excited. This is my first time ever seeing them after being a fan for 9 years! Cos they never came to Singapore again and I missed them the 1st time. I got a bad seat though for the show at Saint Louis cos I missed out on the pre-sales. But well... I am still so looking forward to it!!!

[w4t3r_lily]

They appeared in Malaysia right? For the charity concert for tsunami with BoysII Men and Michelle Yeoh. I really want to hear their new songs. Is there anyone who've already hear it??

[jiali]

Hey :wave: You can actually preview their upcoming album here (http://www.jay-chou.net/forums/showthread.php?t=6064&highlight=backstreet+boys) and download the 1st song from their upcoming album "Beautiful Woman" (http://www.jay-chou.net/forums/showthread.php?t=4980&highlight=backstreet+boys) :wink2:

[SimpleBlackHumor89]

i cant wait for the next album, it's a unique name for an album. bsb was my first favorite boy band, haha they started that whole boy band thing. but i heard they're gona work with producers that produced the tracks for "black and blue" and so i guess, we can expect songs like the ones from Black & Blue. :excited: i wonder if they can make a big comeback? people say that pop music was in the 90s...

[sweetzmelly]

hey guys. i posted up earlier that i attended bsb's club concert tour earlier this week. sorry that i'm late with details and pictures. i'll post it up as soon as possible..earlier next week or something?! after the weekend. (busy with school!) i'll make a new separate post.

[punkymeh]

um thats awesome but pop boybands these days are like old school!! i think they are not going to make alot of money out of it!! its just going to be a waste of time!!

[kasic_fantasy]

punkymeh no i dont think so. they have left us with a great memories of them before they left. now that they are coming back, i'm sure everyone will be very excited...

plus i'm sure they know their age now. i believe there will be lots of big changes to this new album compare to what they always do in the past.

i think they are not going to make alot of money out of it!! its just going to be a waste of time!!

making an album is like recording something you have created. if its money and fame your going for, might as well dont make it right?...

[lina_chasez]

omg :excited:

i was waiting for so long to know about these guys! I remember the times when i was

"fighting" with my friends who were always saying that the BSB were gone forever! :dry:

if they know.... hahaha but seriously i am very happy to know about these news... i was

afraid of just lingering in their old albums... thanks! :happy:

[panda_shine]

Hmm.. I am not sure if this picture has been posted or not but I find it awhile ago while browsing.

I wonder if this will be their new single cover or something?

Click (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/aurora0x/BSB_resized.jpg)

[regina12]

Oh wow! Thanks for the picture. I'm kinda upset that I haven't been able to hear the new single yet. The local stations here kinda suck. I have been tuning in since monday but nothing and I tune in for long periods each time. Sigh...

[katie323]

i actually heard one of their new songs on the radio when i was driving home today. at first i didn't recognize them... :shy: heh, actually i didn't even know it was them until the dj person announced it after. they kinda sound like Brian adams, raspy and emotionally troubled.

i loved the bsb, they were a bunch of kewl, cute, wholesome boys. I compared all the guys that i knew to them, actually with only Brian, cos he was my fav. heh.

i duno if i'm gonna buy their album when it comes out cos aren't they aren't realli "the backstreet boys" but it's like they are "the backstreet men" heh :bleh:

[ladiebugfreak]

Yea, I heard their new song on the radio and didn't like it at all. I remember being obsessed when I was little. But like it's really hard to get away from "The Backstreet Boys" sort of music to something new. I just seemed weird.

[lovingjay]

I am actually looking forward to their new cd. I heard a snippet of their new song .."Incomplete"...I think that is the title. It seemed okay.
With their new cd out again, my obsession has been renewed and I now constantly hum their old songs. I will definitely buy it when it comes out. Wondering when that will be??

Backstreet Boys Seeking New Bodyguard — Via Reality TV
The Boys are back in town — and they're about to tackle reality TV.

As the Backstreet Boys prepare to kick off a comeback tour this fall, the group is also looking for a new bodyguard. The Boys hope to find one by way of a new reality show called — what else? — "Bodyguard," according to Variety.

The "American Idol"-like competition will whittle down a group of contestants until one man or woman is left standing as the Boys' protector.

The new reality series is being developed by the Boys' management team, Wright-Crear Management, and will be produced by Jonathan Taylor, creator of MTV's "The Osbournes."

Although the Boys will make occasional appearances on camera, their role on the show will be secondary. However, "Bodyguard" will be used as launching pad to promote the group's return to the pop scene after a three-year hiatus. The final episode of the show will follow the winner's first day on the job as the group's arena tour kicks off. Plans call for the show to be pitched to the networks later this month.

The Boys have already returned to the studio with producer Max Martin, who also helped fuel the careers of Britney Spears and 'NSYNC (see "What Year Is It? Backstreet Boys Planning World Tour, Working With Max Martin"). Collaborations with Boyz II Men and Take 6 are also in the works. The first single from the new album is expected to be released later in the year.

[w4t3r_lily]

OMG..do they have to make a reality show only to find bodyguards? :glug: that's kinda... :crazy:

I haven't heard the new song yet :oops: maybe i'll have to wait for another week. Are they already make the MV? :?

[Te aMo x]

The new song is pretty good. They came out with a whole new sound. That`s expected I guess since they have all grown and matured from the last time they had an album. I don`t know if they have a video out yet though, but it would be interesting to see what they come out with.

I can`t believe they are making a reality show about finding a new bodyguard either >_<
It`s probably just to get some circulation out to the public about the fact that they are coming out with a new CD

[liliceprincess]

i can't wait...i never thought tht they would get reuntied....but that is a great thing...i guess i will be waiting to see.....it has been such a long time since i heard of anyone talk about BSB....hope toi see what they have in store for us...

[tam2]

I just got the link to the leak of the album... O___o I thought it's gonna be release in June, it's leaked already??
Eh, I downloaded it ^^""" Not that impressive...

[regina12]

It is supposed to be released June 14th. Man... where did u get the leak? I am dying to hear the songs... I heard 5 at their club tour and they're all nice!!

[tam2]

I uploaded a few songs here (http://musique-box.blogspot.com):

I've deleted some songs from the album, I'll upload the rest that I have if you want

*edit*

the link that I downloaded it from have taken the songs down.
I've uploaded the rest of the songs that i have. (total of 6 songs)

[panda_shine]

I just downloaded the album too ... if anyone is still in need of certain songs, just let me know and I'll upload it :wink2:

I don't like all the songs on the album but the ones I really like are: "The Unloved", "Never Gone", "Love Is", "Over Her", "Color My World", and "Memories". :happy: I am just glad to hear the BSB voices again :cloud9:

[tam2]

*edit* -link from solid07 removed-

I have uploaded (http://musique-box.blogspot.com) the whole album :)

[w4t3r_lily]

OMG..thanks a lot tam2 :hugz: i'm d/l it right now :excited: but my server kinda slow :worry:

Karen..me too can't wait to hear BSB voices again :excited:

[kasic_fantasy]

i've listened to the album and find it kindda different from what they always do in the past. its really nice and can feel that they are no longer 'boys' :D

the music is really matured really very good. i'm sure all ex-BSB fans will like it :rolleyes:

[mein]

I've seen their Incomplete MTV. It's quite nice and Howie D plays the piano at the beginning. You guys can watch that from AOL Music. I like their album!! And I think Poster Girl is nice! Climbing the Walls is not bad too! I like Never Gone!!!! :excited: I'm happy with their album! :happy: If anyone needs any song, I'll be more than glad to help.

Tracklist :

01. Climbing the Walls
02. Poster Girl
03. Beautiful Woman
04. Forces of Nature
05. Incomplete
06. The Unloved
07. Love Is
08. Over Her
09. Colour My World
10. Memories

[tam2]

You're very welcome, w4t3r_lily ^_^ Be glad to share.
I know a lot of people,esp BSB fans, have been waiting a long time for this long overdue album.
First impression wasn't all that great in my opinion, but after a few times on repeat, I've grown to like it more.
Hopefully when the official release comes, people still buy this album. Or else, it would be such a shame to see their comeback effort to be to no avail.

[milkified]

I heard their whole new album.
Still I think 'Incomplete' is the best song.
The others are okay only. Not as great as their old songs.

[panda_shine]

Although their new songs aren't as good as their old ones, but I still really like it! I really like, "I Still", "Siberia", and "Safest Place To Hide". I am soo excited that the cd is coming out in just 3 days and I really hope that all of you who downloaded it will buy their new cd to support them :wink2: :wink2: I saw their MV too and.. it's Kevin who played the piano :tongue:

Oh btw, this is the official tracklist, in order:
Incomplete
Just Want You To Know
Crawling Back To You
Weird World
I Still…
Poster Girl
Lose It All
Climbing The Walls
My Beautiful Woman
Safest Place To Hide
Siberia
Never Gone

[fujiwaratofushop]

not a huge BSB fan, but i thought that their new comeback single was pretty good.
nothing fresh or WOWing, but the tune is still quite nice in the usual BSB style.
and goodness the 'Incomplete' MV was sooo beautifully shot! was utterly impressed.

[ftlouiea]

To be frank, I think BSB have stayed with this ballad, smooth style too long. It started to the end of their 'previous' career. I can pick one or two songs out of the new album that have the old 'Pop' kind of feel, which is why they were so special, but the rest are a bit... meh. Take 'Incomplete', personally, not my no.1 out of the album, Climbing the Walls is better! :happy:

<-- Will now stop sounding like a bitter lemon :bleh:

Anyhoo, not an album I'm fangirley about, but its good pop in comparison to the rest. :rolleyes:

[junnleenfaah]

so i got the album.. and after 2 long years of waiting for this album [as in, two years since they said they were working on another album].. i finally have it in my hands!! i love the album, but i hafta admit, their older albums are much better. yes, this is definitely a more mature sound for the backstreet boys, but it only makes sense since they're getting old :P

i LOVE the incomplete MV; the scenery is beautiful and the way it was shot is really good. joseph kahn does amazing stuff (: for some reason, kevin looked really hot playing that white piano (; [kinda reminds me of jay? haha]

nick is usually my favorite.. but everytime i watch the video, he kinda reminds me of a bird.. like the way he acts.. i dunno.. there was a lot of head bobbing and weird movements in there from nick. did anyone else notice that? lol

my favorite songs in order:
1. incomplete
2. safest place to hide
3. poster girl
4. i still...
5. never gone
6. lose it all

the rest are decent. but overall, i'm really happy with the outcome. mmmaaannnn i'm so glad backstreet boys are back. reminds me of the good ol teenybopper days. lol.

[panda_shine]

I got the album a few days ago too.. the DVD enhanced version too :happy: :happy:

LOL, junnleenfaah.. a bird? But anyways, yeah Kevin playing the piano really reminds me of Jay too!! :happy: plus, he's wearing a suit too so.. :happy: But yeah, Kevin he's definitely looking very handsome these days hehe :shy: Brian use to be my favorite but now he's alright.. it's more admiration than anything else because he's such a wonderful person :angel:

Anyways.. something I want to share with the BSB fans :happy:
BSB performing I Want It That Way at the Jay Leno show on June.16.05 (http://s18.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0CNA1NRTJCV7829SN2K2K37B1T)

[junnleenfaah]

LOL, junnleenfaah.. a bird?

YES! A BIRD! just watch the video and like.. the part where they're all together in front of the building thing [its kinda at the beginning] and nick has his arms spread out and he does this head movement thing and it reminds me of like.. a squacking [sp?] bird.. lol..

btw, thanks for the links! is there any way you can put it into a windows media player format though? =/

[panda_shine]

oh.. the files are viewable in Windows Media Player. Did you unzip it after you download it??

[regina12]

What's in the DVD? The store I went to buy the album from didn't have the limited version. Or perhaps it was gone by the time I went. :oops: I went pretty early. I know the US version has a dual CD. I hope I can get that when I go back in August.

[panda_shine]

The enhanced cd (dvd) has the Incomplete MV, and the Behind the Scenes of Incomplete. And the cd case shape is slightly different from the original ones.. like the opening side is curved. Yeah, the first time I went to HMV.. I didn't get it coz I wanted to go to other stores to see if they sell it cheaper.. but they didn't have the enhanced version at another store.. so I went back to HMV the next day and it was sold out .. so I ended up going to another HMV location :oops:

[pinkcherries051]

haha yeah i got the enhanced version/dual disc version one..its pretty good..but its nothing compared to their previous cds

[junnleenfaah]

regina, i thought there was no limited edition and that all of them had the dual disc? well basically, the dvd basically has all the songs on it, discography, and the making of their music video "incomplete".. nothing too special.

and i agree with pinkcherries, their old cds were better. this one is good but not as good as the old ones.

btw, can anyone play the CD side on their computer? because it wont play on mine and it sucks cuz now i cant put the songs onto my ipod )= if anyone knows how to fix this problem, i'd be so grateful if you could help me out!!

[Sha]

I think the new album is awesome. No other word for it.

I especially love "Poster Girl", "Siberia" and "Beautiful Woman". Seriously. I know it's not like the ballads they're famous for but artists don't wanna be the same all the time and release the same kinda songs and it's unrealistic for fans to expect that. I think they've grown as a band, musically and personally, and it's good stuff, the new album.

BACKSTREET'S BACK!!

[Togepi43]

you're right, they've definitely grown musically as a band, and even though we'll all (i'm sure) miss their glory days of selling 10million+ albums across the world and their biggest hits- it just wouldn't be right if Never Gone had the same sort of songs as Backstreet's Back, let's say.
that said, I'm kinda disappointed that their Never Gone tour is being promoted as being more "organic" and having none of their former spacesuits and laser lightshows!! That sounds boring!! lol!

I'm going to their Melb concert next week, I sure hope the promo posters were wrong about not being as exciting as before hehe.. though it'll still be exciting anyway cos they ARE the Backstreet Boys ;) I've never seen them in concert before!!

[sam_ho]

I love them~ but I just dont know why they broke up and got back together

they never broke up, they were just on a hiatus to do their own things. of course i'm sure some reasons for their hiatus was partially because some of them are married and wanna spend time w. their family [like how brian had a son awhile back] and like nick tried to set off his solo career [which i think was a huge mistake]

[pengypeace]

WOW, i thought Nick was cute until I saw Jay :-)...I will go buy therer album them...I hop it is good like the othr ones :-)But thats great new to hear....Do you guys know the title of the CD?

Never gone is totally different from the first 4 albums..

They always started the first song with something that brings your mood up...

with songs like everybody, larger than life, the call etc.

Now their "Never Gone" album starts the song with incomplete and it is some saddy song..

Well, i guess time changes many things...

I just saw a clip of Brian performing for his single, Welcome Home.. and he said he'll be back in the studio with the boys in the summer! I am soo excited for the upcoming cd.. whenever the release date is!

I actually heard about them going back to studio about a week ago on the radio but I didn't really believed it. And the radio DJ made such a :dry: comment about how they didn't do too well on their last album and they are still going back in studio. :oops: Anyways, I am glad it's true because I am so happy they are getting back together once again! I can definitely seem them singing together like 10, 20 years from now.. haha.

panda_shine it already came out, or at least from what i've read, it came out last month

"The album was released last month and features 11 songs of contemporary Christian music – six of which Littrell co-wrote.

"This record has been a three-year process in the writing and in forming the material I wanted to include," he says. "It's special to me. It's 11 of my favourite songs."

Littrell dedicates the song "Grace of My Life" to his wife Leighanne and his son, Baylee."-http://www.andpop.com/article/5985

zhy378: Oh yup, I know Brian's cd already came out.. I was talking about the BSB as a whole :tongue:

[zhy378]

:oops: read to fast, guess there goes another blur moment there. i wonder if they still continue to make anymore album, its like the new generation of music lover find them old. oh well

[stitchphil]

I didn't know you're a BSB fan too Karen! :excited: I've heard about that little piece of news where he'll be back in the studios with the rest of the gang this summer too! I was uber excited when I heard that!

Ava, I'm sure they'll continue to make more music. I'll still support them no matter what, mainly because I've grown up with their music for the past decade. Oh dear... that just made me sound so darn old. :oops:

[panda_shine]

I didn't know you are a BSB fan too, Stitch! :excited:

I grew up listening to pop music as well and I've been a fan of the BSB since 4th-5th grade (around 9-10 years old) so it's been almost a decade for me too.

I totally forgot that we have a BSB general thread so perhaps I should post there instead.. :hmm:

and you people thought their Never Gone was their last album since kevin left the group.....well good news!!!:excited:

New Backstreet Album, Solo Album from AJ McLean, Due For 2007

"(andPOP) - Backstreet will be back again next spring with a new album, reports Access Hollywood.

AJ McLean told the entertainment show that the foursome (Kevin Richardson left the group in the summer) has been writing and recording new songs with producer Dan Muckala and writer-producer Rob Wells.

"It's very piano driven," McLean told Access Hollywood. "It's very guitar driven. Lyrically, it's great. Melodies are back. Harmonies are back."

"It's not so dancey in that sense," he added. "We're still gonna dance, we're still gonna be on stage, we're still gonna perform, but it's just really great music. It's always been about the music for us. That's the bottom line."

McLean is also gearing up to release a solo album also next year, but after the next Backstreet album hits record stores.

"Mine's definitely rockier. Mine's more eclectic. It's got everything that defines me from rock, soul, funk to all live instrumentation," he said of what will be his first solo effort. "I'm writing the entire thing along with these producers and it's a lot of personal influence and it's more real. It's not about 'Hey! Nice car, nice ass, nice jewelry,' it's about personal things -- things that piss me off, my relationship with my father, relationships, just things that I wanna get off my chest"

The singer added that he hopes to do some after-show club gigs when the Backstreet Boys go on tour next year. After that, he will set of on a solo tour. " source- http://www.andpop.com/article/7480

:D wow i wasnt expecting them to have another album already. like sure the annoucement of kevin leaving them made a disappointment that they would break up but still. but i still hope kevin might join in special occasion like a guest singer in one or two songs.

thats koo aj is gonna have a solo album. so that leave how many bsb member who hasnt done a solo album?:glug: sowie my bsb history is a bit rusty, they been together too long, makes me think if they're like the king of boybands!
