I think that we all need to stop worry over this, because the Backstreet Boys will never break up until they think that its time too. We shouldn't be reading some article that is totally one sided. And as for the Solo's, Nick's is gunna be Great! Help Me is an amazing single and its gunna do well. Justin can't sing, he lip syncs in concerts, and so do the other memebers of nstink. His cd is full of collabrations, what does that tell u? that he has to cover his voice so that no one knows how much his voice stinks, and that he needs other ppl to help him sell records and his new single is shit! Critics are just finding new things to write about, because their probably bored and their careers are probably on the line if they don't write shit about good ppl. I've never once heard any rumours of Nstink breaking up when they announced that Justin was gunna go do his solo shit, and i think that, that's real pathetic on the critics part. If it wasn't for Backstreet Boys, nstink would be nothing, their just a bunch of greedy, pathetic, ugly guys, who try to be ppl their not. And once again! EVERYONE STOP WORRYING! OUR BOYS ARE THE BEST! and i don't think that they could ever go on without Nick, it just wouldn't be the same, It would be like the 3 Musketeers without the 3rd musketeer, that just can't happen. Anyway, they are the Backstreet Boys and they can get through anything, they've done it in the past they can do it again! And i think that they should get out of their new management deal as soon as possible, because mr. azoff does not sound like the perfect manager for our boys, if he really did say: "Whether Nick is in the band or not, it doesn't frighten me," . and if he didn't mean it in a way where he's bascially suggesting that he doesn't care if Nick leaves, then maybe he should clear up what he meant by that, because i know that i'm getting that impression and so are a lot of other fans. BYEE!!!!! and KTBSPA!!!!!!EVERDAY AND FOREVER!

They worked so hard to get where they're at. Lou Pearlman cheated them out of their equal share from N'Sync. The Backstreet Boys aren't breaking up. Happy Birthday Howie. Submitted by Jessica from stanhope nj USA Date: Thu Aug 22 21:02:13 2002 Okay, someone got to get me to stop crying. These boys have forgotten what the old good times were about... the music and their friendships!!! I really can not believe these boys have gone off doing this. I love them to death, but they need to yell, scream, fight and then play some b-ball so they can fix this. I wanna ten year cd out next year, with all the boys... not just four.... Maybe its time their women kick them in the ass and tell them how its done!!!! anyone think thats good idea? well I'm praying now, I'm praying to keep boys together and the pride alive!!! y all hear? yall pray with me???? Submitted by Carla Tillman from Arlington TX USA Date: Thu Aug 22 20:57:41 2002 The Backstreet Boys have the talent to be around for ten more years if they want to. If they decide that isn't what they want to do I will be the first one to shed tears, but I refuse to believe that they are coming to an end until they say so. Have the Backstreet Boys ever not been completely honest with their fans? No...they have always been honest about things. If the Backstreet Boys did decide to take their lives in different directions we will hear it from them first and not some silly rumor, newspaper, magazine or tabloid. The Backstreet Boys are my favorite group and for many reason other than just their beautiful voices and good looks, but for their kind hearts and loyalty to their fans, among other things. I hope they are around forever. Happy Birthday, Howie!! Submitted by Linda from New Canaan CT USA Date: Thu Aug 22 20:46:52 2002 About this article... First I think it was well written, except the title..where did that come from? The Backstreet Boys didn't break up. They didn't come undone...they just had a lot of hardships that were delt to them through their recording company and management. After reading this article I immediately sent it to a few non-Backstreet friends who told me that they found a new respect for all they'd been through. Anyway those are just my thoughts of right now thanks for listening :) Happy Birthday Howie!

HELP USSSSSSSSSSSS. LOL SO SPREAD THE WORD Submitted by Angie from USA Date: Thu Aug 22 19:18:55 2002 I agree with what other fans have said I don't care what the article says because even though some things may be true but a lot of times people just want to say stuff just to get a reaction from fans and that they may not like the group. No matter what I will always be a Backstreet Boys fan. KEEP THE BACKSTREET PRIDE ALIVE! Submitted by Carissa Halvorson from Dodgeville Wisconsin USA Date: Thu Aug 22 19:12:59 2002 I don't care what any article says about them because I will always love and support my boys until the day I die. However, I strongly feel that this article was only put out there to try and upset all the fans. It was completely unappropriate! But then again, it just proved how strong of a group the truly are, and that nothing and no one will ever come between them. They have been through so much in the past few years, and I cannot even begin to express how extremely proud I am of them. It's about time people start treating them like real human beings and start giving them the respect they deserve. Oh, and another thing, Nick is NOT leaving the group. How many times does he need to repeat himself? He just wanted to do something on his own for once and have more freedom to sing what he wants. He has also said many times that the other guys are supporting him. Everything is fine between them, so stop giving them so much crap! Lets start focusing on all the happy lives they've touched and how much they've accomplished as a group. I love my boys with all my heart and soul and I will always be grateful to them for everything they have done for me. All the fans need to keep showing their love and support because it's are turn to give back to them. Nick's solo album is gonna rock and their next Backstreet album is gonna be better than ever! KTBSPA 4-eva!!!!!! See ya boys real soon! HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOWIE!!! Submitted by Lynn from USA Date: Thu Aug 22 19:12:53 2002 Alright, here's the deal. We ALL know that BSB paved the way for not only NSYNC but for many other artists out there, but that's how it goes. It may not be fair, but throughout the course of music history it's been that way. But what makes me mad are all of these critics claiming that the days of BSB are over. I mean, yea I don't know the boys so who knows, maybe they are comming to an end, but I doubt it. These music critics are so hypocritical sometimes. In one article they talk about how the boys have been together for 10 years and have paved the way for all other artists. But in the same article they write about how they are going through a tough time that they will not overcome; when in the paragraph before they talked about their career surviving Brian's heart surgery, the backlash from 2 Backstreet weddings, Nick's arrest, AJ's rehab, and mulitple label changes. So they can get through all that crap but can't get through a time where Nick wants to experiment on his own and where they are selling only 8 million records not 10? (i don't know if those numbers are right, but you get the point) there are thousands of bands who would die to sell a quarter of that amount, but for BSB it's horrible. what it comes down to is that 10 years is a long time, and a lot of stuff happens in ten years which if you put behind you, you'll move on and if you dwell on it you'll lag behind. It looks to me that the boys have moved on in every problem they've come across and they give me no reason to believe that it's different now. Submitted by Ilse Depaepe from Mechelen Belgium Date: Thu Aug 22 18:55:36 2002 All I would like to say is the following: NSync have one leader of the group, Justin. And he won't stay once his solo carreer takes off. So that group will not be celebrating its 10th anniversary ever. This year the guys are working on the new album, taking time for themselves and allowing each to do what they want to do. In Nick's case that is doing a solo album. Great. I'm looking forward to it. And next year when we are celebrating BSB 10 years, that is the time to give us the next BSB album. They were forced to get Chapter One out before they wanted it, well not with this album. And unlike NSync, BSB don't have just one leader and 4 backing vocals. They are 5 individuals with all of them the ability to shine. I'm not worried. Let them all just think BSB is going down. Won't they all be surprised when they rise out of the ashes, stronger and better than ever before. No, I'm not worried at all. Just looking forward to the next great thing that they have in store for us all. Submitted by Adria Carter from San Diego California USA Date: Thu Aug 22 18:54:46 2002 Hey i just wanna say everytime BSB does somrthing Nsync has to do it plus these guys don't sing that great theey have weak ass lyrics gay music vids and unorignal dance moves and um why do girls like Justin I think h is ugly as our the other guys. Plus Nsync cries for attention hy BSB gets it naturally In 10 yrs if BsB is still around I il not be surprised but if Nsync is well i already kno that's impossible!

Everything about 'N Sync and their easy road to fame, if that's what you want to call it. The Backstreet Boys worked their arses off since 1993 and finally break the doors down in the states in 1997. They had success everywhere but the U.S. first. Then when those doors were open, everyone decides to go through. Including 'N Sync and their huge egos. Ok, so they get their fame, and with Britney's help, they gain success in the states. And as you all know, once you're big in the states, you're big everywhere else...considering the states is the most powerful country in the world and the most influential. Now there's all this BS about how the Backstreet Boys is #2 and how 'N Sync is so much better. Those people can just shove all that shizzo up their rear. There's more talent in Nick's pinky than in all of 'N Sync. It doesn't help that Jive is the worst label ever. Talk about taking advantage of people and being greedy. Basically, if it wasn't for the Boys, and Britney dating Justin, 'N Sync wouldn't be "huge". I guess being a sell-out brings popularity. And Justin, will you please stop acting black for popularity. Submitted by Emily from USA Date: Thu Aug 22 18:01:11 2002 I am choosing not to belive any of this bull sh*t until i hear it straight from the boys themselves... and when and IF i do, I will be deaply saddened. I love nick, but I also love bsb... the group itself made me love them... and no matter what happenes, I will always love them... KTBSPA Submitted by Michele from Columbus Ohio USA Date: Thu Aug 22 17:50:44 2002 The only thing I agreed on was what they mentioned about Clearchannel buying out the tour and that that was why the prices were so high-now it finaly makes sense! I know Nicks album will do great, hopefully debut at #1! Remember, the sales only count for the first week if you buy it in the store. KTBSPA Submitted by melody from USA Date: Thu Aug 22 17:48:48 2002 hey everyone .. uh, please, when nicks album comes out on october 29th, please go get it !! im sure a lot of us bsb fans really want his solo debut to work out really well, and especially better than justins. i dont mean to discourage anyone but deep down i have a feeling that justins album might be more popular than nicks and i juss want to prove myself wrong. so please, im begging u.. go out there october 29th and buy it .. even if ur not a huge 'nick' fan but a backstreet fan, juss buy it to show ur support and respect.. i also hope that he does so well, he'll impress a lot of people, and not juss the fans and all but also the critics who think he wont survive by himself .. so please, buy it !!
