Boyands: Now and then // 0
Comments |
Boy bands and their music have always been an important part of the pop music scene whether it’s the choreographies, over-sentimental songs or the fashion trends. We have all loved or hated them at some point. Boy bands have been unstoppable since the formation of The Beatles and The Monkees in the early sixties followed by a string of boy bands including Take That and the Backstreet Boys decades later. The boy band frenzy died down for a while but with the return of the New Kids On The Block, this could be the beginning of a new boy band era. So have a look through our gallery and see the boy bands of today as well as the ones from yesteryears and make sure you VOTE FOR YOUR FAVOURITE! Source: AOL Music UK |

EDMONTON - Boy band member -- now there's a designation not many self-respecting musicians would ever want to be saddled with. Yet how many of those same musicians are filling hockey arenas -- like Brian Littrell and the rest of the Backstreet Boys? Almost 16 years after the Boys were formed by self-styled svengali Lou Pearlman, Backstreet is still a going concern. Littrell -- no longer a boy at the age of 33 -- seems to have a refreshingly levelheaded view of what he does. "That's my job," he says. "It's how I make my living -- but it's wonderful that I also love what I do." Source: Edmonton Journal |

HIGHLAND PARK -- In the wake of the rejuvenated boy band craze that's found New Kids on the Block and New Edition reuniting, it's not surprising to see the Backstreet Boys back on the road. Though this summer's tour appears to be a comeback of sorts for the famed vocal fivesome -- recently reduced to a quartet -- surviving members Nick Carter, Brian Littrell, Howie Dorough and A.J. McLean would probably argue the group never left. And while the guys' new CD "Unbreakable" ignited the European charts, it went virtually unnoticed in America, although the lack of attention had no effect on ticket sales Sunday night at the always inviting Ravinia Festival in Highland Park. Amidst a completely sold out pavilion and lawn, the Backstreet Boys blended slick dance steps and percolating pop grooves that have thus far yielded an astounding 100 million albums sold. As it was in the group's best interest, the show started with the familiar steps of "Larger Than Life," mixed with the beats of "Eye of the Tiger" and performed in an inflatable boxing ring.

The harmonies and the choreography are intact -- and the girls are still screaming. It started like a beautiful dream many music critics have had at one time or another the last decade -- standing inside the squared circle with a member of a boy band in the opposite corner, in this case the Backstreet Boys. But alas the chance to rage against boy band (now man band) mania was not to be last night at Toronto's Molson Amphitheatre as the group came into town on their Unbreakable world tour behind the 2007 album of the same name. Instead the remaining quartet (Kevin Richardson jumped ship in 2006) of Brian Littrell, A.J. McLean, Howie Dorough and Nick Carter provided more ammunition that the genre is still beating.
