(i think bsb is hot and everythin, but i first got hooked on them when i heard them on the radio in '97 and i didn't even kno they existed up till that point) does any1 kno who or what compnay is the one that is supposesd to tally up all the record sales. PLZ, READ AND HELP ME OUT. who are the ppl who actually decide how many records do artists and bands sell? i really wanna write a letter to them, askin if maybe they should include the worlds sales in the first week's sales, b/c them bsb and nick would def. beat n'sync. AGAIN, I DON'T WANNA SOUND LIKE A N'SYNC HATER, B/C I'M NOT, I JUST DON'T LIKE THEM B/C THEY'RE STEALIN THE SPOTLIGHT. if anyone knows, plz post them here or email me at livinginadream12@yahoo.com. thank u so much, and if any1 likes my idea, maybe we could all work 2gether. i sound way too serious rite now. just kinda tired and i just read the new comments about which single is better ,nick's or justin's at www.mtv.com/news and a lot of ppl said they liked nick's better. just feelin kinda down rite now, all about bein a teenager huh? whatever, ktbspa, and keep on requestin!!!!!! Submitted by Jess from USA Date: Mon Aug 26 21:46:33 2002 when i read the article in the paper it made me feel like it was saying the backstreet boys are over.. and they arent, their fans are still the way they were and as long as you have your fans you still go on. they were here first and have more class than *nsync.. and its nice to see that.. with all they have been through they have survived the test.. and they must still go on.. and they will! they have been here this long they cant stop now. many people are supporting them and they will make it through these tough times and this next album will put them back on top! Submitted by Celeste from Tx USA Date: Mon Aug 26 21:44:38 2002 The fans make the band. We make a band popular or we don't. It'a all up to us and if us BSB fans are still around our boys still popular and deserve to be respected. That writer and his malicious statements shouldn't affect us. Backstreet fans are the strongest and supportive group out there. We shut down Times Square as stated earlier, helped Millenium rise as a hit album, and many other things that we all know. The Boys were even compared to the Beatles. They all have immense talent and true BSB fans feel all this in their hearts so let's keep doing what we can to support them such as requesting songs on stations and as soon as the new CD comes buy it on the first day and beat N'SYNC's record.That will truly show our power, love and support. The author didn't know what kind of group and their fans he's messing with.

And when it was backstreet tv and some caller called in and asked aj to show off his new dragon tattoo, and he did. Remember those feelings we had when we would hear each song every day. Well it's time we stoped slacking off and started to get back on track. Just because nick won the survival of the sexiest doesn't mean we have to stop supporting our guys. CoME ON! Submitted by If I'm going to call myself part of the backstreet army then I'm helping! from USA Date: Mon Aug 26 20:40:28 2002 REQUEST "LARGER THAN LIFE", this is for our boys. We claim to love them, but when we don't request a song 10000000 times then it wont get played and the bsb are getting laughed at. HELP US OUT! CAll your radio staions and tell them to play that song. Don't ask them, tell them, It works! Submitted by michelle from USA Date: Mon Aug 26 20:36:22 2002 OMG Sarah- Yeah a lot of us are starting to request "LARGER THAN LIFE". We want to show everybody that bsb isn't over. So whoever wants to show the world that bsb is even better than nsync, then please request on your radio station. Submitted by sarah from USA Date: Mon Aug 26 20:33:23 2002 HEy IF you want to help the boys! THE BSB fans are requesting "LARGER THAN LIFE" on their radio stations, you should too. It will help the boys and it will show jive what we're made of. BSB AND THEIR FANS! Submitted by Allie from USA Date: Mon Aug 26 20:17:38 2002 Hmm. Didn't for me.

Submitted by Lainey Recchia from Bound Brook New Jersey USA Date: Mon Aug 26 20:14:02 2002 BSB has are not in the same league as nsync they are classier.It might be the same genre but BSB just have that stage presence that grabs you.They dress great on stage.I love when they put on their suits.I have never been to a concert but I have all their videos and I watch a different one each day when I work out.The music gets me going. Their songs are their own and they are much more mature songs then nsync.These guys know what they are doing.They have minds of their own and they are continuing to bring great music into our living rooms.I am a 40 year old woman and I can't get enough of these guys.I have hung around bands since I was 15 yrs. old and I know a good tune when I hear one and BSB has got alot and I mean alot of them.Like the article says all new bands sign a raw deal.BSB got right in there and learned like everyone else and stood up for themselves.I happen to like their older music.I am looking forward to their new cd.I know it will be a good one.Let's not lose perspective here.It might or might not sell as many as millennium or black and blue but!,it will sell and it will be good.They can only get better.Like the saying goes:you get better with age.Those people who rate the music don't know good music when they hear it.Remember it is the audience,the fans that count when it comes to buying and liking a group.They are doing something right.I praise these guys for being so honest.I commend them for coming forward and letting their fans know what was happening behind the scenes.Besides Howie is my soul mate but he dosen't know it yet because he hasn't met me.BSB pride.Hopefully I will be able to attend their concert when the new album comes out.They have alot of fans it is really hard to get a good ticket for their concerts.Keep up the great work and always stay as honest and sincere as you are. Chow and God Bless all of you. laineyrec@aol.com Submitted by annette from Tracy CA USA Date: Mon Aug 26 20:09:34 2002 Heey guys its me again. This time I have a confession to make. I admit that I kinda lost interest in the guys but that didn't mean I didn't support em. I was and still am a bsb fan. ~peaceout~ P.S. - as long they'll be music they'll be comin back again!! Submitted by Allie from USA Date: Mon Aug 26 20:04:24 2002 That article didn't say BSB were breaking up. Their manager said he didn't care if Nick was in the group or not. Take that for what it's worth. Obviously some bad feelings somewhere. Maybe they'll work it out. Maybe they won't. Submitted by annette from Tracy CA USA Date: Mon Aug 26 19:53:40 2002 To Telle: I just wanna say its wrong to say Nick is the only one with talent. The true answer is is that they ALL have talent. Submitted by Christina from NC USA Date: Mon Aug 26 18:25:46 2002 You know one of the main reason's why i love bsb? They have personalities that i can relate too. I mean, there were some times when i wasn't in the best of health, I've lost people I loved, I've been underestimated, and I've had my share of problems ya know. That's why I relate to bsb. I can relate to NSYNC at all, i mean, c'mon, how many of us will ever go out into space? I've grown with bsb ( i atually think we all have, i've said it before) and i know i said that bsb won't last forever, but i take that back. They'll last forever in all of our hearts and as long as we are fans and we support them, then it'll be all good. BSB i think have the best fans becuase no matter what happens to them, we are here for them, and I love that. So KTPBA kids, 1 luv. Submitted by Jennifer from USA Date: Mon Aug 26 18:09:28 2002 The guy is a freak. He apparently has not paid any attention to how and what the guys are doing NOW, and only the bad things in their career. This is where those horrible rumors come from, people believing what the media and press (who blow everything out of proportion and lie anyway, which I'm sure you all know) instead of the horse's mouth. The horse's mouth is saying they are still going, and they ARE working on a new album. Nick just isn't able to work on it as much with his album. It doesn't mean they're breaking up. The man obviously did do some research, I will give him that. He just didn't research both points. Submitted by Sara from Orlando Florida USA Date: Mon Aug 26 17:49:33 2002 I am so sick of all these writers writing about "bsb breakups" and crap like this. every single year since for like EVER they have wanted an excuse to put BSB down just to make themselves feel better about BSB being the best band in the world. I am a proud BSB fan and Im not afraid to show it to ANYONE. All I gotta say is Shutup, bite me and go fuck urselves cuz ur all pathetic little creeps who just want an excuse to bash people. Submitted by Beth from Sevierville TN USA Date: Mon Aug 26 16:54:47 2002 I totally agree with it. Not that BSB is over, but that NSYNC was setup as sort of a copy of them. I think NSYNc and JIVE have intentionally pushed BSB out of the way to make room for eveyone else, and no offense to the NSYNc fans, but personally i think they're new music sux. They're music is just the same as everything else coming out. BSB's stuff is slightly different and that's y I like they're music more than NSYNC's. But I really agree with most of the article. Submitted by Traci from Livingston New Jersey USA Date: Mon Aug 26 16:51:08 2002 i'm writing again...i really do wanna know why the media likes to pick on BSB??? god...pick on lance or somefin' he's goin' up ta space isn't he??? just becuz nick's releasing a solo album DOES NOT mean they're breakin' up. god...and all the guys support him Nick EVEN said so in some interview(i 4got what it was)...they jus' practically made up the WHOLE article and knowing kevin the way he is, HE WOULD NEVER say that about ANY of his "brothers" that really is a load of shizzle...everything that they said in the articles is a load of crap...we all know that BSB will come out ontop...they alwaze have...atleast BSB is experiencing dif. types of music...NSYNC is still going w/the pop...BSB got a lil' more rockish-like w/the B&B(black and blue) album. atleast AJ had the GUTS to admit he had a problem and he did something about it, what can you say about other people??? most of the time they try to hide it, and they lie to their fans...BSB doesn't do that. what'll happen when one of the NSYNC members get married??? atleast BSB are growing up...i bet you that the sales of NSYNC were prolly jipped to make BSB look bad...god...this article really pissed me off...and i signed that petition...wellz, i'm done here. cya'z. @(^0^)@ First Page - Previous - Next - Last - Add Entry - Other Topics - Message Boards - Exit Page 38 of 75
