New Kids Slam Backstreet

This was just too hilarious to pass up. It seems there is boy band beef between NKTOB and Backstreet.

Supposedly, Backstreet laid down some smack talk in earlier interviews saying, if the New Kids had any talent, they’d still be around. Well, as one can only imagine, the grown ups of New Kids haven’t taken that lying down. Member, Danny Wood told sources at Starpulse.com that, quote, “Backstreet's records sound the same as before - their music didn't evolve like ours has.” He added, “They should've probably kept their mouths shut!”

‘Tis true that my beloved Backstreet have had their share of disappointments in the past five years or so with their on-again, off-again relationship with the music industry. But, any band from that era is going to have to cede to the flux and flow of the pop scene, no matter who they are.

Now, as much as I’d love to be subjective on this—because as we all know, subjectivity is my strong suit—I just had to say something. This goes out to the NKOTB, more of an acronym than an actual band name: grow the fuck up! I mean, come on! You wait 15 years to make your so-called, “glorious” comeback and you think that you’re music has grown past the bubblegum fodder of your heyday? Let’s be real!

The last song that I heard from you sounded like a crew of middle-aged men talking about scantily clad teenage females that you were trying so hard to holla at in their “tank top[s] and [their] flip-flops.” Sounds pretty much the same as “Please Don’t Go, Girl”, only a bit creepier since Joey Mac lost the baby fat and J-Knight had a rather embarrassing stint on The Surreal Life.

I mean if we are to speak realistically, in this here real world of reality, neither one of these bands has a cool shot in hell of reclaiming any of their former glory. (Sorry, Backstreet. You’ll always be my favorite.) It’s almost laughable that Danny Wood (whom I don’t even remember as a New Kid in the first place) would decide he was going to lay a comeback call-out to a band that, honestly, is exactly the same as they are. I guess time will only tell which one of these bubblegum band juggernauts will actually get served

Just to put it out there, I’ll always put my money on Backstreet, I don’t care what anyone says!

Danny is referring to remarks Kevin made 10 years ago. The last time I checked, Kevin is no longer a member of BSB. The others have had positive things to say about them.

And New Kids new music isn't all that great, although Summertime has grown on me. I'm dissapointed because I'm going to see them in concert in 2 weeks. I saw them perform live on the View and it wasn't very good. I hope they can pull it together when I see them live!

signed....extremely worried I wasted 75 dollars on New Kids tickets.... :(

Thank you Camiele I think the Backstreet Boys have something REAL SPECIAL. They have always put their fans first and have always tried to put good music out there. NKOTB must just need some money that's what I really think this reunion is all about. The radio station has been trying to give away NKOTB tickets as prizes for certain things and most people take the other opition. BSB will always be #1 as everyone refers them to. WAY to go BSB!!!!!!!!!!!

FIRST OF ALL, THAT WHOLE STORY IS B.S. BECAUSE EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT DANNY WOOD IS GOOD FRIENDS WITH HOWIE DOROUGH, THEY EVEN WORKED TOGETHER IN MIAMI ON MUSICAL PROJECTS FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS, WHERE THEY BOTH LIVE, AND SECOND OF ALL, THE STORY IS FROM STARPULSE.COM, ANOTHER BS INTERNET TABLOID SITE LIKE PEREZHILTON AND TMZ, THEY'VE BEEN SO BUSY WITH PROMOTION TALKING TO CNN, FOX, MTV, CW, AND RADIO STATIONS, BUT STARPULSE? PLEASE, IT'S JUST A GIMMICK TO BRING ATTENTION TO THE WEBSITE, AND YOU SHOULD BE SMARTER THAN THAT TO GIVE IN TO THAT TABLOID WEBSITE'S BS, SINCE NKOTB SAID NOTHING BUT GOOD WORDS ABOUT BSB AT Z100, WATCH THe video on youtube nkotb mma at the much music awards interview, AND BSB NOTHING BUT GOOD WORDS ABOUT NKOTB TOO, it's just tabloid made up fodder

Firstly, I want to say that I apologise if the story is, in fact, BS as you so eloquently put rICA. My intention was to report on a story that I, quite frankly, found to be utterly ridiculous and hilarious. Yes, I voice my personal opinion in who I prefer; however, I was simply writing an interest story. By virtue of the fact that this was a story about boy band beef it shouldn't be taken seriously or thought of as hard journalism--it just isn't. It's the softest sort of writing material that there could be--and that's the point. No need to yell (which I'm interpreting your CAPS LOCK typing to be).

And though you find me to be less than intelligent for gathering my information from Starpulse.com, the site itself is a gossip site--unless, of course, the news is something that has legitimacy to it...which this story does considering it's not too much of a stretch to imagine boy bands being out for blood.

In any event, I was just telling it as I saw it. I'm sure if I'd watched YouTube--another beacon of investigatory journalism--I would've found a more up-to-date version of the story that was reported. However, it's jsut fluff, kids. No need to get up in arms. I really could care less about NKOTB and beginning to lose interest in my beloved Backstreet.

This response, however, was just to let you know that the very fact that you took this so seriously is very interesting and also very disturbing.

Have a lovely day and all that rot.
