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.

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.

Are The Backstreet Boys Next For A Vegas Residency?

ET caught up with A.J. McLean at The Brothers Grimsby premiere in Los Angeles on Thursday, when the 38-year-old singer said the boy band is definitely interested in a Las Vegas residency a la Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez.

“We are talking about it. We are looking into it right now and we’ll see,” McLean exclusively told ET. “We’ll see what happens! Right now, we’re actually back in the studio making our ninth album. If anything transpires it’ll probably come after our brand new tour, and I’m doing my very first solo project. There’s a lot of things going on this year.” (credit)

I am both excited and not very excited to hear about this potential for a residency. Most people who has residencies no longer go on tour. I mean Celine hasn’t been on a tour in forever which is a shame because I would drop Adele tickets type money on a Celine Dion show.

Back to the subject though!

I have been to eight Backstreet Boys concerts that have all been within driving distance. The last thing I would want to do is spend an arm and a leg to go see their Vegas show. Although they would probably make a killing off of it. Let’s be real, everyone loves to be nostalgic and with the success of Britney’s show, I don’t think they would have any issue selling out show after show.

Luckily for all of us that can’t afford to fly to Vegas it doesn’t look like this residency would be the too near future. They are working on new music, will go on another tour. So don’t worry, we have time to save up for a Vegas weekend. I don’t know who we is, but I am going to assume it will be a we type of thing because I would die if I went to Vegas alone.

One thing is for sure, as long as there is music Backstreet Boys will be coming back again!

Movie Review: Show ‘Em What You’re Made Of, The Backstreet Boys Documentary

So I will be first to say when it comes to this subject I am extremely bias. I love the Backstreet boys and I have since I was about five years of age. Since then they just bring back a feeling of nostalgia and happiness that I can’t explain. I have seen them eight times in concert, I have met them once, I guess you could call me a mega fan, fan girl, whatever. Below there are some spoilers in the documentary, things that I wasn’t aware of so if you don’t want them ruined, don’t scroll!

The moment that I got the notification that this documentary was downloading onto my Itunes I started to watch it, I didn’t even wait for it to fully load. That is how excited I have been for this to come out. They had talked about it for so long and the date kept getting pushed back, but right when it was released, I watched it! Truthfully I expected something about their rise to fame, I didn’t expect them to be so raw and real, but that was exactly what it was.

As the film starts they go and visit Kevin’s hometown and then Brian’s hometown since they didn’t live far from each other. Even though they have been a band for the past twenty years they had never done this, so why not do it in front of the cameras. It is really interesting to see the boys, well men now I guess, and how they act when they aren’t on stage. Sure they may have been putting on a bit since there was a camera but the emotions seemed so raw and real. When Kevin talks about his father passing away and he breaks down, when Brian explains that he has vocal problems he breaks down. Truthfully there was a lot more crying in the movie than I expected.

There are a few pivotal moments in this movie that I didn’t know happened.

-Howie D was the original lead singer when the band first started, but after Max Martin got a hold of them, it became Brian, Nick, and AJ. Howie only agreed to this final album if he could have more singing than the last albums.

-Nick holds animosity towards Brian because Brian has been the lead singer. There is a huge fight between the two of them, I highly recommend you at least watch that part.

-Brian has vocal chord issues and there is really no cure, his voice comes and goes. This is another big thing that the documentary follows during the hour and a half it runs.

-AJ opens up about his addiction and how he was behaving during the Black and Blue tour.

– Lou Pearlman stole a TON of money from them.

It was honestly a movie that made me love the group even more. As I previously stated the raw emotions that are shown through out the movie are incredible. Watching this band go from basically on top of the world, to not even having a record deal was very interesting. See I knew that they had been dropped but I didn’t realize this last album was basically done being an independent band.

I would rate this movie a five out of five. Being a fan of theirs I am proud that they let their fans get a glimpse into their come up and even their falls after the 2000’s.
