Instead, the tune ended up on the Bee Gees' new album, This Is Where I Came In, released this week. "The Backstreet Boys actually loved (it)," says Robin Gibb, who will appear on A&E's Live By Request tonight (9-11 p.m.) with brothers Barry and Maurice. "But they don't choose their own material, the producers do. And they write their own material, and the producers write material for the band. They get a bigger piece of the pie if they just keep writing material. So it's a kind of closed shop for anybody to get in to write a Backstreet Boys song." Gibb says that, in addition to being a fan of both the Backstreet Boys and NSYNC -- "I like good singers, boy bands or otherwise," -- he also favours such U.K. acts as Manic Street Preachers, Oasis and Blur, and various black artists. "I think black artists are still coming up with the most innovative forms of expression, say in terms of blues," he says. As for tonight's A&E special, Gibb says they'll be performing four or five new songs, along with taking requests. Comment on this item.
