Backstreet's back: SO WHAT?
12:28 AMOkay, this is getting a little disturbing. Aren't we supposed to live in the new millennium? Why are we now living in the 90's? I'm talking about the comebacks that have been happening left and right people. First it was the Spice Girls and now, the Backstreet Boys are back [yet again]? One thing I hate about comebacks is they make you relive your teen years while at the same time make you realize that you're getting too effin' old.
I have to admit, though, that I joined the boy and girl group bandwagon and bought cassette tapes (yes remember 'em!) of these once famous groups. I googled them to see the possibility of doing a comeback but it seems impossible:
I have a confession to make. I'm a sucker for underdogs so at the time when the UK and the US were both introducing boybands left and right, I chose the one which was the least popular. I first saw them on MTV Asia's Most Wanted [show] with Mike Kasem and Nadja Hutagalung (remember them 90's folks?). Mike was introducing their video and at the same time Nadja was picking her nose at the back. She was holding an album called 'Most Wanted Boys', a compilation of the up and coming boybands. (Later they released 'Fantastic Females', puro mga babae naman.)
They released very romantic love songs. Though they didn't reach NSync's and BSB's Starmometer level, they managed to produce Billboard chart-topping singles such as 'Give me just one night (Una Noche)'. Who am I talking about?
Unfortunately, it looks like 98 Degrees won't be making a comeback anytime soon. Justin ran for Congress (I'm not sure if he won); Nick Lachey has been gracing the tabloid covers with his sex photos with Vanesso Minnillo; I don't f* know what happened to Jeff Timmons (though he released a solo album which I also have); and Drew has been dancing a lot lately. Still, their official site says 98 degrees ain't breaking up. Poof!
Boohoo! Update your site! Or better yet throw it to the dogs! |
