• 31.08.05 | Backstreet Gives Intimate Show In Big Arena - by Talitha |
As a young teen I had all their memorabilia, CDs, pictures and anything else I could get my hands on. Now at 21 years old I am not afraid to admit it: I am a Backstreet Boys fan. Yes, it is true and I have practically grown up listening to the music of Nick Carter, Brian Littrell, Howie Dorough, A.J. McLean and Kevin Richardson. I've been to seven of their shows over the years and, having pin-ups of them all, I have enjoyed their music over the years, to the dismay of some of my friends and sometimes to my own dismay. Yet something about being an adolescent girl and liking a group is so much different than being a grown woman and enjoying the same music that has been part of the most influential years of my young life. With throngs of screaming female fans, I recently found myself once again swept into the Backstreet concert scene, this time as not only as a fan but also as a reporter. Being older and I suppose wiser, I prepared myself to be thrown back into my younger teen years. Read more |
• 31.08.05 | Pavilion Lights Go Out On Backstreet Boys - by Talitha |
A Backstreet Boys concert in full swing at the Chronicle Pavilion on Tuesday night was shut down after an electrical transformer blew and cut off power to the outdoor amphitheater and the surrounding area in Concord. The band had been playing for more than an hour when the lights went out, said Aaron Siuda, spokesman for Bill Graham Presents. "The band was nice enough after the power went out to get back onstage and sing a cappella through a megaphone,'' Siuda said. "It actually sounded pretty good. All the fans sang along." The show, however, a one-night stopover at the Pavilion, had to be cut short. Siuda said that as a result of Tuesday's power outage, Bill Graham Presents is offering all ticketholders of the Pavilion show admission to the Backstreet Boys' concert tonight at the Sleeptrain Amphitheater in Sacramento. "All they have to do is bring their ticket'' to get into the Sacramento concert, Siuda said. He said the transformer blew along Highway 4 around 10 p.m. PG&E could not be reached for comment. The Pavilion, at 2000 Kirker Pass Road, accommodates an audience of 12,500. Source: San Francisco Chronicle |
• 31.08.05 | Time for return of the boyband - by Annemarie |
With their new CD, "Never Gone," the Backstreet Boys are attempting something that's essentially unprecedented in the limited history of teen pop returning to the top of the charts after an extended break from recording and touring. It was 2000 when the Backstreet Boys last released a studio album, "Black and Blue." While acts with older audiences have certainly been able to retain their popularity after a hiatus of four years or more, no teen pop act has even tried to come back after such a long absence. So it's no wonder that the reunited group members Nick Carter, Howard "Howie D." Dorough, Brian Littrell, A.J. McLean and Kevin Richardson expressed a few fears about their future in the weeks and months leading up to the June release of "Never Gone." Read more |

• 29.08.05 | Backstreet's back alright! - by Annemarie |
A sea of waving green glow sticks and ear-piercing screams welcomed a reunited Backstreet Boys back to the Valley Friday night at Dodge Theatre. Though the venue holds quite a few less fans than the venues the band used to sell-out in a matter of hours during it's prime in the'90s, the 5,000 seat building was packed. Surrounded by an arsenal of neon green lasers, the group walked down a lighted staircase to open their Never Gone tour with a spirited version of 'The Call,' off of quintet's 2000 release Black & Blue.

• 27.08.05 | After four years, five bring the house down - by Annemarie |
Backstreet's back. But are they still alright? On Thursday night, the pop vocal quintet (using the term "boy band" is pointless, considering members are now 25-33 years old) returned to Orange County for the first time in four years and brought the house down. Although Backstreet Boys can't pack 'em in like they used to (Verizon Wireless Amphitheater was only about three-quarters full and the lawn was empty, despite this being the group's only Southern California appearance), fans who turned up were wildly enthusiastic. The female-centric crowd was dominated by tweens, teenage girls who sported identical homemade T-shirts and waved glow sticks, older mothers and their college-age daughters and young women who dragged their boyfriends along (one guy behind me sat forlornly in his seat as the entire row was standing). Loud shrieking continued throughout the 1 hour, 45-minute concert. Read more |

• 26.08.05 | Girl's Dream to See the 'Boys' Comes True - by Talitha |
Brittany Linzmeier has loved the Backstreet Boys since she was in first grade. Now 14, the Manitowoc girl got to meet the pop icons at a concert in Illinois last week. It was especially exciting for her becauseit was hard to see the band from her wheelchair at past concerts. Brittany has spina bifida, a birth defect that paralyzed her from the waist down. "A friend of ours knew someone who contacted a songwriter," said Sharon Linzmeier, Brittany's mother. Last Friday, Sharon, her husband, Dan, Brittany and her sister, Courtney, watched the Boys play baseball against pop-punk band Simple Plan in Schaumburg, Ill., then saw a sound check and attended a concert at the Charter One Pavilion in Chicago. They met all five members. Read more |

• 25.08.05 | Concert review - by Annemarie |
Six years ago the Backstreet Boys were more popular than Eminem and Beyoncé Knowles combined. Album sales exceeded 10 million each, they sold out venues like Kemper Arena in a matter of minutes, and their live shows were spectacles that included a 10-piece backup band, extravagant wardrobe changes and an aerial show in which the Boys soared and descended acrobatically upon a monstrous stage that half-filled the arenas’ floors. For a long shining moment, they were larger than life. These days the Boys aren’t flying so high. In fact they’re navigating shallow and uncertain waters, the kind that run aground so many careers launched on the tastes of customers who were in early puberty. Six years is a long time, something the Boys aren’t yet willing to concede. So they’ve called their new album “Never Gone” (a hope), and they end their current live show with the old hit “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” (a prayer). If only the truth were somewhere in between.

• 22.08.05 |Backstreet Boys are bad imitators - by Annemarie |
Fifteen minutes before the Backstreet Boys took the stage Friday night at Northerly Island, their manager appeared and pleaded with the near sell-out crowd to call MTV to request the group's latest video. Citing a lack of demand, apparently the network isn't airing any clips from their recent record. Such a scenario would have been unthinkable a few years ago, when the Backstreet Boys ruled as teen-pop princes. Following a four-year layoff, the group is staging a comeback, having refashioned their tinsel-toned dance sound and become Def Leppard lite. Live, the sonic makeover turned out to be a mistake. Nothing about the Backstreet Boys' cotton-candy music or uneven choreography rocked. Instead of spotlighting the quintet's harmonizing capabilities, the hair-metal anthems and power ballads were often tailored for one singer and rendered the remaining members useless. Read more... |

• 21.08.05 |Backstreet Boys are still 'Larger Than Life' - by Annemarie |
Surrounded by an audience of screaming, mostly female, fans of all ages, the Backstreet Boys proved that they still "Got It Goin On" during their two-hour musical extravaganza of their "Never Gone" tour, last Saturday night at the Tweeter Center in New Jersey. After the five years of silence that separated the release of their third and fourth albums, the Boys were greeted with almost as much enthusiasm as they themselves seemed to share. The success of the Backstreet re-emergence into the musical world is largely based on the musical shift their sound has made. Knowledgeable enough to realize their fan base has matured, the Boys' new album contains more emotional songs, like "Siberia," "Just Want You to Know," and of course their chart-topping single, "Incomplete," -- all of which reach out to a more mature audience.

• 21.08.05 |MTV does not want pop music to make a comeback - by Annemarie |
Here's a little something that Leighanne wrote in an email to a fan: Also, a little FYI for you to do with what you would like. At present time MTV states they do not want to play BSB's music because they do not want pop music to make a comeback. Their quote is that they don't want to open Pandora's Box. Anything the fans could do to support the boys and not to give MTV the power to decide that what the world should and should not hear. This is the second time MTV has tried to hold down the BSB from becoming the best that they can be. If there is anything you can do to help, it would be greatly appreciated.

• 21.08.05 |The boys are back: older, but just as bland - by Annemarie |
The Backstreet Boys have gone out of their way to downplay their five-year break from the pop world, titling their comeback disc "Never Gone" and embarking on an ambitious summer tour that pulled into the Target Center on Saturday night. But when the Boys left us, their career was already heading south. The fivesome's rivals 'N Sync claimed more fans, sold more tickets and made better records. Instead of trying to keep up with the Timberlakes, the Backstreet Boys retreated into a world of receding hairlines, rehab and one doomed relationship with Paris Hilton. If they learned anything during all that time away, it wasn't readily apparent Saturday night. The five Backstreet Boys — who are now in their late 20s to early 30s — performed with saccharine professionalism, like five overgrown Mouseketeers going through the motions because those mortgages won't pay themselves.

• 21.08.05 |Backstreet boys return with a bang - by Annemarie |
A second shot at the top always seems sweeter, and is more appreciated. That clearly is the case for '90s boy band The Backstreet Boys, who are back atop the charts with their first album in five years and gave a triumphant show last Saturday at Tweeter Center in Camden, N.J. The five members are no longer boys — they're 25 to 33 — but age seems to have matured both their voices and their regard for fans. Not only did they sing even better — no lip-syncing for this group — but they worked hard in near-100-degree heat, playing 21 songs in a 108-minute show, most of it dripping in sincerity. Forget what you've heard about this tour being less of a spectacle than when the Boys were all the rage. They arrived and left it to thunderous explosions, and played to showers of sparks, smoke and lasers, and lighted stairs from which they rose and disappeared. Read more... |
• 20.08.05 |The boys are back: new songs, fewer fans - by Annemarie |
This past spring they played the club Rock Jungle at Station Square to work out new material and gauge fan interest in their return. Wednesday night they headlined at the Post-Gazette Pavilion. Backstreet's back, right? Sort of. In their '90s heyday, Backstreet Boys sold out outdoor sheds and stadiums. Wednesday night's show featured an empty lawn and pavilion-only seating. But the listeners who remain in the vocal quintet's camp couldn't be any more faithful, dutifully screaming during every one of the 21 tunes BSB performed. They clearly did their homework on the band's first disc in five years, "Never Gone," too, singing along loudly to the new fare. Good thing, as three-fourths of the album made the Boys' set.

Concertgoers arrived eager for a nostalgic trip to the late '90s, and the Backstreet Boys obligingly took them for a walk down memory lane Friday night. The audience members, mostly in their 20s, reminisced about drooling over magazine pictures of band members during study hall. Teen fans recalled toting lunches to school in boxes bearing the band's faces. As for Nick, Howie, A.J., Kevin and Brian, they probably remembered when they could have packed the 20,000-seat Hersheypark Stadium instead of the 7,000-seat Star Pavilion. Read more... |
• 16.08.05 | Backstreet Boys back with a new attitude - by Annemarie |
If nothing else, the Backstreet Boys are realistic. Reunited after four years, they don't have any illusions that they'll be able to dominate the pop scene as they did when boy bands ruled the world. "We know that we're gonna have to pay our dues again and we know that we're going to have to start from scratch because everything has changed," said A.J. McLean, the heavily tattooed, shades-wearing member of the group that plays Riverbend tonight. "We're not looking to be the group that we were in '99 and 2000." Read more... |
• 16.08.05 | Backstreet Boys are back -- slick as ever - by Annemarie |
MANSFIELD -- Before an audience of screaming fans, the Backstreet Boys revealed Sunday that they could survive the five-year gap between ''Black & Blue," their last album of all-new material, and the new ''Never Gone." The quintet, once the kings of the boy-band scene, performed a two-hour set so meticulously arranged that it took a series of severe thunderstorm warnings -- culminating in an unscheduled 15-minute break -- to add some spontaneity to the Tweeter Center proceedings. Otherwise, everything went by at a steady clip, with video montages, pyro and laser displays, and Nick Carter playing guitar to no discernible effect during ''Climbing the Walls" and ''Just Want You to Know." Kevin Richardson's piano-playing during ''Weird World" and ''Incomplete" was more integral, but the group mostly performed its busy if not especially accomplished choreography, played to the fans, and passed lead vocals around like a football. The Boys were at their best when they harmonized on ''The One," ''Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely," and ''Siberia," which featured an insistent ticking-clock riff as artificial snow came down.

• 15.08.05 | Backstreet Boys revive angst-filled pop - by Annemarie |
You've got to hand it to the Backstreet Boys. They took a few years off. One went into rehab, another got arrested and tried a solo career. In the meanwhile, their brand of wholesome, propulsive teen pop went under and didn't come back up for air. But if the packed crowd at the Tweeter Center, in Mansfield, Mass., last night was any indication, the Backstreet Boys still have a hugely loyal fan base -- and it doesn't consist wholly of parent-chaperoned preteens, either. In a tightly choreographed, two-hour show, the Boys -- five men in their late twenties and early thirties -- stuck mostly to old favorites such as "You Are My Fire" and "Quit Playing Games," a decision that won eardrum-ripping shrieks from the crowd. They also threw in a few funky songs from their otherwise snoozy new CD, Never Gone. Read more... |
• 15.08.05 | Backstreet Boys step forward in return - by Annemarie |
Brian Littrell's grin said it all. While the rest of his brethren in the Backstreet Boys put on their best bubblegum badass faces during their opening number, ``The Call'' at the Tweeter Center last night, Littrell literally couldn't stop smiling and giggling. When he later told the ecstatic, if sticky, crowd of about 12,000 revelers that ``I think we're more excited than you are,'' it was obvious he was truly speaking on behalf of himself, Nick Carter, A.J. McLean, Kevin Richardson and Howie Dorough. Whether just happy to see so many people in the audience after a five-year break and a sea change in music culture or glad to be rid of those matching storm trooper goalie outfits of tours past, a gleeful exuberance was in evidence both onstage and off during the Boys two-hour set.

"I was over in London writing and recording," says Nick Carter in a teleconference, "and I had gotten a call from, I think it was Brian [Littrell], and he was basically saying how AJ was doing a special on 'Oprah' with his mom about his sobriety and about his drug addiction.

The Backstreet Boys are back together after a five-year break with a new album and tour titled "Never Gone." It's a nostalgic comeback for the pop icons. For the young fans gathered at the Civic Center Wednesday, it was a lifelong dream come true. Nick Carter, Brian Littrell, AJ McLean, Howie Dorough and Kevin Richardson were the reigning heartthrobs in the most successful boy band of recent times. They traveled the globe, playing to millions of adoring fans. But they never came to Maine. They were simply too big. Times have changed. The boys fell from the top during their troubled absence. They are now much more accessible to smaller venues. And Maine fans eagerly welcomed the opportunity. Read more... |

A 12-year-old girl swooning over a bedroom poster of her favorite boy band member can transform into a moody 17-year-old with a fondness for the screamo angst of My Chemical Romance. The Backstreet Boys are acutely aware of this. So the question looms large for the Florida quintet: After a five-year hiatus, do Backstreet Boys fans still want it that way? "We still are not 100 percent sure, and we won't know until we do a full-blown tour," said eldest Boy Kevin Richardson, 33, who will take the stage at the Tweeter Center in Mansfield on Sunday with Nick Carter, 25, Howie Dorough, 31, Brian Littrell, 30, and A.J. McLean, 27. "Everything moves pretty quickly in the entertainment industry. Whenever you take a break like we did, there's always a risk that when you're out of sight, you're out of mind."

The Backstreet Boys should change the name of their summer concert tour from "Never Gone" to "The Afterglow." That glow -- the halo that shimmers on after a teen idol mega-group has faded -- was what the crowd at Nissan Pavilion was looking for Saturday night, and the quintet delivered. Group members Nick Carter, Brian Littrell, Kevin Richardson, Howie Dorough and A.J. McLean capitalized on old fans' nostalgia by performing a string of hits from previous albums and throwing a few songs from their new CD, also titled "Never Gone," into the mix. Not that they did a bad job. To the Boys' credit, they've still got it. The band's smooth harmonies were there: the effortless choreographed dance moves, the uncanny rapport with the crowd.But for a tour promoting a new CD, there were few surprises. Read more... |

The Backstreet Boys, on a comeback tour they say really isn’t a comeback tour, are heading our way with an Aug. 21 show at Verizon. Here’s how they looked during a show recently at Radio City Music Hall in New York. The screams weren’t as loud this time around, and many of the fans were out of their teens … that’s what happens when the defining boy band of the 1990s takes a five-year break between albums, while pop changes and some fans outgrow their teeny-bopper crushes. There was a moment in the group’s career, with songs like “The Call” (about cheating) and “Larger Than Life” (about stardom), when it seemed that Backstreet Boys might want to offer something besides pure, tuneful treacle. That moment passed when album sales dipped. Read more... Source: kansascity.com |

• 04.08.05 | Nick Carter's List of Music You Should Hear - by Talitha |
On 'Never Gone', the Backstreet Boys' fifth album (and first in almost five years), Nick Carter, Brian Littrell, A.J. McLean, Howie Dorough, and Kevin Richardson prove they haven't lost any of their babe-magnet pull. On the final, title track, a swirling crescendo sums up the sentiments of millions of heartsick, former-teen devotees: "Never gone, never far/In my heart is where you are." Can you blame us for swooning when we opened our e-mailbox to find a message from Nick, detailing a number of songs he loves and thinks his fans should hear? Read more... |

• 02.08.05 | Backstreet gets second swipe at world domination! - by Annemarie |
Who would have expected the Backstreet Boys to score a full-blown comeback with "Incomplete"—not just a polite return, but a second swipe at world domination. And with a ballad, at that. "Just Want You to Know," the second single from the wholly satisfying platinum set "Never Gone," only tops the sundae with a cherry. It is an uptempo song in much the same vein as Kelly Clarkson's pop/rock anthem "Since U Been Gone," with flypaper hooks from enduring musical maestro Max Martin. This guitar-octane perspirer proves that BSB has plenty of ammunition left in its arsenal. In a word: hit. In two words: global smash. —Chuck Taylor Source: Billboard single reviews |
