Backstreet Boys Smash Hit “I Want It That Way” Turns 18 Today!

Can you believe that it has been 18 years since the Backstreet Boys released their smash hit “I Want It That Way”. I actually can believe it, this one doesn’t make me feel that old because I have been a fan of these guys since the tender age of 5.

If you don’t think that this is one of the greatest pop songs of all time you are out of your mind and you don’t know pop. That simple.

This song got them nominated for a Grammy and got them the top spot on TRL for a very long time.

Even if you can’t appreciate the song you can appreciate the music video. I am still angry I wasn’t one of the superfans that were cast in the airplane hanger. We also need to appreciate the all white outfits and choreographed dancing, things you just don’t see anymore.

Happy birthday “I Want It That Way” although I think it is their most overrated song, I still scream sing whenever it comes on.

Happy 42nd Birthday Brian Littrell !

Happy birthday to the ultimate boy band member Brian Littrell. Don’t start with that Justin Timberlake shit, okay? I don’t want to hear it when I am honoring one of the greatest voices to ever join a boy band!

Brian has remained as one of the lead singers of the insanely popular Backstreet Boys, and next month they start their Vegas residency.

With that angelic voice, baby blue eyes, and jawline that doesn’t quit, I will still admit he is absolutely in my top 5 celebrity crushes of all time. Like a fine wine, Brian is just getting better with age.

Happy birthday Brian!

Real talk though, when your childhood crushes start getting into their 40’s I think it also means that you are getting old as well.

The 15 Most Underrated Backstreet Boys Songs Of All Time

Lately I have been really into making lists and I won’t apologize for it, they are quick reads and I have fun writing it.

Today I decided to go through the most underrated Backstreet Boys songs of all time. The boys have been a band since 1993 and became known in the United States in probably 1997 or 1998, before that though they were huge in Germany. Quick history of the boys but I am sure that you knew a bit of that already.

Considering they are the best boy band of all time, yes I will argue this with you for the rest of forever, just contact me on twitter, @WilliKilliams, I wanted to give their lesser known songs some love as well.

Everyone knows their classic hits like “I Want It That Way”, “Quit Playing Games With My Heart”, “The Call”, “The One”, “Incomplete”, “Everybody”, the songs that got a lot of airplay and you still want to dance to when you hear it. I don’t blame you for loving those songs.

Let me take you down a trip down other songs you may enjoy and will probably spark some nostalgia. Yes, three of the songs were actually singles but I never felt like they got the attention that they deserved.

For the record, the Backstreet Boys have always been a vocal harmony group, so get ready for all of that beautifulness to come your way.

The Chainsmokers Bring Out Backstreet Boys During Their Biggest Show Ever!

I have said a lot of things about The Chainsmokers this year, and I won’t take it back, but I will say that this is a really awesome move. If you have even kind of kept up with this blog you’re aware that I love the Backstreet Boys. So any time any other group wants to bring them out on stage, or whatever, I am all about it!

Last night The Chainsmokers performed at their biggest venue yet. They had their first solo show at Los Angeles Convention Center and have been teasing the set list for a while now. Did anyone think they would bring out the legendary Backstreet boys? Absolutely not.

They also brought out Big Sean but let’s be real. Backstreet Boys all day!

Check out the full performance below.

The Backstreet Boys Perform At Jingle Ball 2016

You can keep your Charlie Puth, Fifth Harmony, The Chainsmokers, all that you really need to see when you go to a show like this is one act, the big act. The craziest thing is that those guys are probably considered the bigger acts of the show. You know who the real stars are though, right? The Backstreet Boys. So all of you little 12 years old that out there, just realize that you’re seeing icons perform, and you should feel lucky!

These guys are looking good though, right? I mean hot damn! AJ can rock a glitter jacket unlike anyone else! I also like that he is still rocking the black nail polish, no need to let that go after so long.

Brian is still my favorite though, look at that light hair and blue eyes. Such a babe. In reality, they have all aged fairly well, they look better than the NSYNC guys!

Here are a few videos from the concert and they kill it. I am clearly a fan fo them, but I have seen them live 8 times and they always bring such energy, they sing live, truly some of the best performers that I have ever seen life.

The Backstreet Boys Are Starting Their Vegas Residency Trial Run!

A few months ago the Backstreet Boys teased up trying out a Vegas residency show. They said that they were going to do a bit of a trial run just to see how it went and then they would decide. I am a little salty. Only because most people with residency stays in Vegas don’t tour very often, and I can’t afford Vegas right now. So boys please quit playing games with my heart and just continue your tour.

This is kind of awesome though. I mean they deserve to have a show that pays them a ton of money. These guys have earned it. They have stayed together for over 20 years and clearly they still have serious staying power.

You can check out the dates and get your tickets here!

Are you excited for this show? Are you going to check it out? Let me know!

Florida Georgia Line & The Backstreet Boys Team Up For ‘God, Your Mama, & Me’!

The only thing I have to say about this song is that it is perfect. Nobody bother me for the next few hours while I listen to this song on repeat.

God bless boybands and country duos coming together.

Backstreet Boys and Florida Georgia Line need to create more songs together. My only complaint, not enough Brian but hey, I still love the song.

The Backstreet Boys Announce Duet With…..

If you have followed this blog for a bit, first of all, thank you, second of all, you know that I love the Backstreet Boys. I think that they are some of the best vocalists out there and the nostalgia they bring is absolutely incredible, I just love them.

The boys have been busy posted photos on social media while they record their newest album. According to all of them it is going to be very different than anything they have ever put out, starting with their first single which will be released in August. It will be a duet with none other than Florida Georgia Line. Interesting, right? I think so.

If these boys are going from pop to country, I don’t think that I would hate it that much, maybe they have found a new sound that they want to try. Go for it! That’s what I have to say about that!

So in August we will have new BSB music and it will be a duet with Florida Georgia Line, let’s go!

17 Years Ago ‘I Want It That Way’ Came Out

I think that everyone can agree that ‘I Want It That Way’ changed the way that we listen to pop music. It is by far one of the biggest pop songs of all time. The Backstreet Boys made history with that song. I mean, let’s be real, that song alone makes them better than NSYNC. Yeah I said it!

Anyway, I have to say it is scary to think that seniors in high school at the same age as this song but I will get over it. Thank you Backstreet Boys for cranking out hit after hit for so long. I am glad that I grew up during the prime of pop music.
