Canada To Blame For Backstreet Success?

Lou Pearlman (boy-band, or "vocal groups" as he likes to call them) gave back a little to the country he has gained so much from. Having invested over a million and half dollars into the Backstreet Boys, Pearlman couldn't find the market he believed existed in the U.S. for the group that would fill the niche vacated by New Kids On The Block. "If it wasn't for Canada we never would have broken Backstreet Boys in the States. If you get on Mike Bullard and get the right press that's the key," he said. However, the American business mogul wouldn't reveal many more details on how he became so successful in Canada, besides, "It's clean fun. Family entertainment. Everyone has their own Schtick." Once BSB were played on Canadian radio stations, northern American stations twigged to the idea and soon the rest of the U.S. fell. Possibly looking for world domination themselves - B4-4 have spoken with Pearlman, but he remarked, "they're with Sony and have management." Sadly, for some of us anyway, he believes, "The market is always going to be there. The genre of the music is going to change. The song is the key, we are the delivery of the song." As long as there are teenage girls Pearlman will have a market, but what happens when they get a little older and discover rock 'n' roll? "The average life of a boy is five years," he said as a manner of fact. Comment on this item.
