23 Feb 2005 | Backstreet Boys Club Dates Surface, New Single Due

Backstreet Boys — who were playing arenas before retreating from the spotlight following a tour behind 2000's eight-million-selling "Black & Blue" — are plotting their return, albeit on a much smaller scale.

The group, which is expected to release a new album this year, is quietly planning a series of club gigs, during which they'll evidently emerge with a new look and an updated sound. Three shows have so far been confirmed by promoters; details are in the itinerary below.

"We're all excited again," the group's Kevin Richardson recently told Canadian Press. "We just needed a break to recharge our batteries and step back and absorb it all, and realize what happened to us over the last 10 years."

He added that the group doesn't plan to continue with the synchronized dance moves for which they were known. "We're practicing what they call 'dancing without dancing' right now," he said.

Though no release date has been announced for the new album, its first single is expected to hit radio on March 18, according to the group's official website (http://www.backstreetboys.com/).

The entire quintet — Richardson, AJ McLean, Brian Littrell, Howie Dorough and Nick Carter — is on board for the new album and tour.

A statement on the group's Jive Records site (http://www.thebackstreetboys.com/) reads, "Though the musical direction has shifted with the times, you can definitely expect to hear a classic BSB album with great vocals and great choruses."

The site adds that Max Martin — who was involved in the writing and production of previous Backstreet Boys hits "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)," "As Long as You Love Me" and "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" — worked with the group one of the upcoming album's tracks.

23 Feb 2005 | Major Acts for Tsunami Concert
Fans of major acts like Black Eyed Peas, Boyz II Men and Backstreet Boys will have the chance to catch them in concert and at the same time help rebuild countries affected by the Dec 26 tsunami.

The Force of Nature concert, to be held on March 18 at Stadium Putra in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), will include major local performers and artistes from Hong Kong, India, China and the United States.

The Prime Minister’s Special Envoy for Tsunami Disaster Aid and Assistance Tan Sri Razali Ismail said the event would be broadcast live with the help of media mogul Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp.

Event organiser, the newly launched Force of Nature Foundation, hopes to raise RM10mil from the concert, he said at a press conference at the TV3 headquarters in Sri Pentas.

Razali said he hoped Malaysians would support the event even though they had earlier donated generously to tsunami victims.

He added that they hoped to fill the 80,000-capacity stadium and that ticket prices and ticketing locations would be determined in a week's time.

The foundation, launched at the media briefing yesterday, is a fund-raising vehicle which comprises private organisations and individuals from here and abroad.

The foundation will provide assistance to tsunami victims and to victims of other natural disasters.

Razali, who is also the foundation's special ambassador, added that prominent Malaysians like Datuk Michelle Yeoh were among its members. [source] (http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2005/2/23/nation/10225174&sec=nation)

24 Feb 2005 | Backstreet's Back

Looks like the Backstreet Boys are making a low-key return to the stage. Unlike the late ‘90s when a BSB tour was spread across the media and the teeny boppers went ape, this time there's a quiet four dates on the books and little hype so far.

The dates are the Avalon in Boston on March 26, Virginia's Scranton Cultural Center March 26, Norfolk, Va.'s NorVa April 1 and the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach, S.C., April 2.

Meanwhile, there's an official Web site that's still under construction, and word has it the Boys will be officially releasing a new single March 18. A song called "Incomplete" has already been leaked onto the Web.

The band members appeared at last May's Wango Tango radio show in Los Angeles and appeared visibly nervous. At one point, the Boys asked the audience if they wanted another BSB album.

"They cheered, man, and I was relieved," Nick Carter told the Los Angeles Times. "I was really worried that they might boo us, and I'm not joking. We didn't know what to expect. Things change." [source] (http://www.pollstar.com/news/viewnews.pl?NewsID=3833)

24 Feb 2005 | Backstreet Boys Promise New Single 'Is Going To Shock You'

Backstreet Boys fans determined to find out details about the group's comeback might have "Incomplete" information.

Since some radio stations began playing a leaked song called "Incomplete" last month, many have assumed it's the first single from the group's as-yet-untitled new album, but that may not be the case.

While participating in various Grammy-related events recently, the Backstreet Boys revealed they are still deciding between "Incomplete," "I Still" and "Weird World," written by Five for Fighting's John Ondrasik.

Fans will find out March 18, when the single will be officially released to radio stations. "Whatever it is, it's going to shock you," Nick Carter promised.

The group finished recording last month and is now narrowing down a list of 43 completed tracks to the 15 or so that'll make the album.

"It's going to be a hard process, but I think we have our favorites," Howie Dorough said.

"The reveal themselves," Kevin Richardson said. "You just kind of keep cutting and the cream rises to the top. All we wanted to do on this record is explore — we recorded some heavy urban R&B tracks, we recorded some kinda heavy rock tracks, and we kind of found a place in the middle."

The Backstreet Boys worked with Boyz II Men, a cappella masters Take 6 and former Savage Garden singer Darren Hayes, as well as producers the Underdogs, John Shanks, Billy Mann and veteran teen-pop songsmith Max Martin.

"Max is actually the one that kind of made us shift and turn from going more urban and R&B more towards the [rock]," A.J. McLean said.

"Our whole album, we feel like this time, has a more organic sound," Richardson added. "We have more live instrumentation than in the past albums. We're using a lot of sequencers and synthesizers and stuff. I think it's safe to say it's on a kinda rock/pop/alternative vibe."

It took the group more than a year to make the album because "we were kind of lost for a little while," according to Richardson.

"Things were moving so fast," he said. "We have perspective now. We're all in a great place. A.J. is doing great, two and a half years sober now. Brian's got a baby boy. The batteries are recharged. We've had a chance to step back and soak it all in."

Being at the Grammy events, especially at the MusiCares tribute to Brian Wilson, where they sang "When I Grow Up (To Be a Man)", got the guys extra stoked about returning to the spotlight.

"We're anxious to get back onstage," McLean said. "[MusiCares] was just a little taste, and now it's just like, 'God, I wanna get on the road again!' "

While their album is scheduled for a summer release, the Backstreet Boys are planning a warm-up club tour to kickoff next month. So far three dates have trickled out: March 24 at the Avalon in Boston, April 1 at the NorVa in Norfolk, Virginia, and April 2 at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

28 Feb 2005 | Backstreet Boys Aim to Defy Cynics with Comeback Album
The Backstreet Boys refused to rush their comeback album because they're desperate to prove wrong cynics who believe their time in the pop spotlight is over.

The quintet — Nick Carter, Brian Littrell, Howie Dorough, A.J. McLean and Kevin Richardson — sold 5.4 million copies of their last release, Black & Blue, in 2000, and they're desperate to score similar glory five years later.

So rather than quickly put together a mediocre LP, the boyband have labored hard in the studio to create a more "mature" sound — one which they're confident will propel them back to the top of the charts.

"That's the first thing we thought about when we started making the record," Dorough said. "That's why we said we weren't going to give ourselves a time limit."

"We wanted to make sure this album would give us a shot again to be around for the long haul so people will realize that we're not, hopefully, a flash in the pan in their eyes."

The group's new album is scheduled to hit record store shelves in June. [source] (http://www.southflorida.com/news/sfl-tnwnwaes4feb28,0,2458130.story?coll=sfe-news-wire)

28 Feb 2005 | Backstreet Boys Anxious To Tour, Kick Off Club Run In March
Backstreet Boys may have yet to decide what the first single from their first album in five years is going to be — or what the album is going to be called, for that matter — but they do have one thing figured out: They're going to hit the road.

"It's just like, 'God, I wanna get on the road again!' " singer A.J. McLean told MTV News earlier this month.

The reunited boy band is planning to warm up its act via a club tour that will kick off next month. While final dates are still being determined, some initial ones have been announced, including the first show in New York, on March 21.

The tour dates come just in time to support the Boys' first single — a toss-up between "Incomplete," "I Still" and "Weird World" — which will be released to radio in mid-March. Then, before the album is released in July, the Backstreet Boys plan to head out on the road again, for a major tour starting on Fourth of July weekend. [source] (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1497580/20050228/backstreet.jhtml?headlines=true)

Backstreet Boys tour dates, according to their label:

3/21 - New York, NY @ Irving Plaza
3/22 - New York, NY @ Irving Plaza
3/24 - Boston, MA @ Avalon
3/25 - Philadelphia, PA @ Electric Factory
3/26 - Scranton, PA @ Scranton Cultural Center
3/28 - Chicago, IL @ House of Blues
3/29 - Cleveland, OH @ House of Blues
3/30 - Washington, D.C. @ 9:30 Club

04 Mar 2005 | Ask Billboard: Battle of the Boys
Ask Billboard (http://www.billboard.com/bb/ask/index.jsp): I was wondering which boy band has sold the most records. Did the New Kids on the Block (aka NKOTB) sell more records than the Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync, 98 Degrees or O-Town? Could you give me a rundown of their album sales?

Thanks so much,
Joey
Richmond, Ky.

Hi Joey,

The leader of the male pop vocal group pack is Backstreet Boys, with more than 29.5 million albums sold in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. 'N Sync is second with 27.6 million.

New Kids on the Block have shipped 17.5 million albums in the United States, per the Recording Industry Association of America. (Most of the New Kids album sales came previous to the establishment of Nielsen SoundScan in 1991; that is why I am using RIAA figures.) 98 Degrees has sold 6.9 million, while O-Town has moved 1.9 million.

04 Mar 2005 | Return of the Backstreet Boys
Backstreet's back, all right!

The Backstreet Boys, whose hits such as "Everybody" and "As Long As You Love Me" catapulted them into popster superstardom in the '90s, are ready to stage a comeback.

The mega-selling hip hopsters announced their plans to play a string of U.S. club dates starting March 21 in New York in preparation for the release of their as-yet untitled upcoming studio album in July — their first album since 2000's Black and Blue.

As of now, the club tour is set to wrap in St. Louis on April 10, but more dates are expected to be added.

Once the album is released, Backstreet plans to launch a nationwide tour.

The "boys" — A.J. McLean, 27, Brian Littrell, 30, Howie Dorough, 31, Kevin Richardson, 33, and Nick Carter, 25 — have undoubtedly done some growing up since their days of '90s heartthrob status.

Both Richardson and Littrell are married, and Littrell is even the proud papa of a wee Backstreet boy. The Backstreet daddy also recently signed a contract with a Christian recording label and plans to get back in touch with his gospel roots.

Meanwhile, McLean and Carter have faced some growing pains along the way to adulthood.

After fighting alcohol abuse and depression, McLean did a stint in rehab in July 2001, causing the Boys to postpone several dates on their summer tour.

More recently, Carter wound up the subject of tabloid speculation after his ex-girlfriend Paris Hilton turned up in public covered in bruises shortly after their breakup.

The question is: Will fans be able to process the band's transformation from Backstreet Boys to Backstreet Men? Or will they not want them that way?

Seeing as the group's club dates are selling out as fast as Backstreet fans can log onto Ticketmaster, it seems that the Boys still have what it takes.

Before they hit the club circuit, the Backstreeters are set to head to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to perform in the March 18 Force of Nature for Tsunami Aid concert, along with the Black-Eyed Peas, Lauryn Hill, Boyz II Men and Wyclef Jean.

07 Mar 2005 | Carter Arrested on Drunken Driving Charges
Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys was arrested last weekend for alleged drunken driving, police said.

Carter, 25, was behind the wheel of a vehicle observed committing a traffic violation when police stopped him Saturday night in downtown Huntington Beach, police Lt. Dave Bunetta said.

"The officer that stopped him noticed some traffic violation was occurring," Bunetta said. "When he was contacted by the officers they conducted an investigation which would include field sobriety tests and they formed the opinion he was under the influence."

Carter was arrested and booked for investigation of drunken driving and his vehicle was impounded, Bunetta said. The type of vehicle wasn't disclosed.

It wasn't known how long Carter was in jail. Motorists arrested for drunken driving in Huntington Beach are typically held for a minimum of four hours then, after evaluation, are released with a citation ordering them to appear in court within 45 days, Bunetta said.

"Nick Carter deeply regrets the current situation. He is on doctor-prescribed medication and was unaware of its interaction possibilities," Carter publicist Juliette Harris said in a statement Monday.

The Backstreet Boys, whose hits include "I Want it That Way," "Shape of My Heart" and "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely," recently announced a 13-city tour that will start March 21 in New York.

Jive Records said they will perform all their hits plus songs from their upcoming CD. The Backstreet Boys haven't produced a new album since 2000's "Black & Blue."

Carter released a solo album in 2002. [source] (http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050307/ap_en_mu/people_nick_carter_2)

07 Mar 2005 | Nick Carter Arrested For Allegedly Driving Under The Influence
Nick Carter was arrested in Southern California on Saturday for allegedly driving while under the influence.

The Backstreet Boys singer was stopped by police at about 7:30 p.m. in downtown Huntington Beach for violating a traffic law, Lieutenant Dave Bunetta said on Monday (March 7). The officers then conducted field sobriety tests and arrested the 25-year-old.

Carter was taken to the local police department, booked for investigation of DUI and had his vehicle impounded. He was released about four hours later with an agreement to appear in court within 45 days.

Because the investigation is still active, Bunetta could not release other details about the arrest or Carter's sobriety tests. "He was cooperative, and there was nothing unusual about his demeanor," Bunetta said.

A district attorney will determine within the next few weeks if there is enough evidence to file charges.

"Nick Carter deeply regrets the current situation," the singer's publicist said in a statement released Monday. "He is on doctor-prescribed medication and was unaware of its interaction possibilities."

The Backstreet Boys recently finished recording their first album in five years and will hit the road later this month to start promoting the music. [source] (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1497825/20050307/backstreet_boys.jhtml?headlines=true)

08 Mar 2005 | Backstreet Boy Arrested On DUI Charges
A "Celebrity Justice" Exclusive.

"CJ" has obtained the fresh mug shot of teen idol Nick Carter from his arrest over the weekend for allegedly driving drunk. Carter, a singer with the Backstreet Boys group, was arrested Saturday night by Huntington Beach, California, police officers. Sources say he had just left a bar, when police pulled him over at about 8 p.m. in his new Chrysler 300.

Police claim Nick was driving erratically and appeared to be drunk when cops approached the vehicle. They gave him a field sobriety test, which they claim he failed. The singer was then handcuffed, taken to the city jail and booked on misdemeanor DUI charges.

According to one eyewitness, police knew who Carter was, but were not impressed with his star stature. The 25-year-old blonde-hair, blue-eyed singer gained a cult-like following as a member of the multi-platinum Backstreet Boys, whose hits include "I Want It That Way." He was also once linked to Paris Hilton.

It's not the first time the pop star has been in trouble with the law. After 10 or so warnings, he was subsequently arrested for resisting or opposing a police officer. And in 2002, Carter's clean-cut image took a bit of a hit when he was arrested for refusing to leave a Tampa, Florida, nightclub. That charge was eventually dropped after Carter agreed to perform community service by visiting children in hospitals.

The singer made headlines more recently when Michael Jackson's defense team announced Carter had been subpoenaed to testify as a witness in Jackson's molestation trial.

As for Carter's DUI arrest, his publicist says Nick, "Deeply regrets the situation. He is on doctor-prescribed medication and was unaware of its interaction possibilities." [source] (http://celebrityjustice.warnerbros.com/news/0503/07a.html)

09 Mar 2005 | Nick Carter Charged
Ain't nothing but a headache and a pair of drunken driving charges for Nick Carter.

The Backstreet Boy was formerly charged Tuesday with one count of driving under the influence and one count of driving with a blood alcohol level over 0.08.

He was arrested in Huntington Beach, California, on Saturday after he was stopped for erratic driving and then failed a field sobriety test.

Carter, 25, is scheduled to appear at an Apr. 13 arraignment, but as the charges are misdemeanor offense, his attorney could appear in his place — if he wants it that way.

The popster faces fines of up to $1,500, probation and restrictions on his license.

According to Carter's rep, the singer wasn't to blame for the traffic snafu.

"Nick Carter deeply regrets the current situation. He is on doctor-prescribed medication and was unaware of its interaction possibilities," Carter publicist Juliette Harris said in a statement Monday.

Harris did not elaborate on which pills the Backstreeter was supposedly popping at the time of his arrest.

Carter, who released a solo album in 2002, is slated to regroup with his fellow "boy" banders (who range in age from 27 to 33) later this month for a 13-city club tour of the United States.

This summer, the group plans to release their first studio album since 2000's Black & Blue.

On Mar. 18, the Backstreet Boys are slated to travel to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to perform in support of tsunami relief, along with Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, the Black Eyed Peas and Boyz II Men.

Carter's legal problems should not prevent him from making the trip. [source] (http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,16085,00.html?eol.tkr)

Episode: (#101) Backstreet Back End
Network: (ETV) E! Entertainment Television
Date: Wednesday - March 16, 2005
Time: 10/9c PM
Duration: 0:30

My Crazy Life: (#101) Backstreet Back End
Nick Carter gets his tighty-whities in a bunch after the Backstreet Boys show him the door, and Camryn Manheim turns her cribbage skills into a Practice-perfect move.

Series Description: My Crazy Life
E! Entertainment Television is bringing true celebrity sagas to life in its new half-hour series "My Crazy Life." On-screen, we've seen the stars play out outrageous, daring, funny and touching scenarios through the fictional characters they portray.

In each episode, celebrities candidly muse over a memorable story from their past. A team of actors then brings the story to life based on the celebrity's detailed recollections. Whether it's a disastrous experience on the set, a crazy travel encounter or just a bizarre life experience, you'll see why real life is stranger than fiction, especially when it comes to actors! The tales are endless, compelling and have rarely been told (much less re-enacted!) from great celebrity storytellers such as Kathryn Morris, Frankie Muniz, Nick Carter, Camryn Manheim, Kimberly Williams and Tom Green.

16 Mar 2005 | Stars Arrive for Tsunami Aid Show

http://img46.exs.cx/img46/627/03kuala018zh.jpg
It was a day of glittering stars today, when some of the biggest names in the entertainment world began descending on Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

They travelled halfway around the globe, enduring long-haul flights for one purpose: to support Friday’s "Force of Nature Concert for Tsunami Aid".

Five-star hotels around the city will be bustling with celebrities — singers, musicians, actors and TV personalities — at least until Sunday.

Security has been tightened, with front-line staff at their best to provide comfort for the country’s famous guests.

Two members of R&B group Boyz II Men, Nathan and Wanya Morris, singer-songwriter-actress Lauryn Hill (right), N Sync’s and My Big Fat Greek Wedding star Joey Fatone (with wife Kelly Baldwin) were among the first to arrive at 7.55am.

The Morris brothers were accompanied by former road manager Joe Mulvihill and security director Mike Rogers.

Despite the 20-hour flight from Newark, New Jersey, the Morris brothers looked rested and were seen shaking hands and chatting with Westin Hotel staff. Nathan, Wanya and the Fatones then adjourned for refreshments at the Westin’s executive lounge before taking a city tour.

The third member of Boyz II Men, Shawn Stockman, arrived at 2pm, together with boyband Backstreet Boys, another member of ‘N Sync, Lance Bass, and actor Joey Kern of Cabin Fever. [source] (http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Thursday/Frontpage/20050317082040/Article/indexb_html)

--------------------

17 Mar 2005 | Tsunami Aid Show: Starry Show to Blow You Away
Grammy-award winners such as Lauryn Hill and Black Eyed Peas are storming into the city for the Force of Nature concert at Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil tomorrow.

Even the Backstreet Boys, who practically established the boy-band phenomenon in the late 90s, and Hong Kong superstar Jackie Chan are in on the action.

Teaming up with some of Malaysia’s leading artistes, the line-up is indeed a force to be reckoned with.

The others include Wyclef Jean, Boyz II Men, Nicholas Tse, Anuar Zain, Dayang Nurfaizah, Sheila Majid, Yumiko Cheng, Innuendo (collaborating with Azan and Zain from Ruffedge and VE).

Even Tyra Banks, international model and host of America’s Next Top Model is rumoured to be in town.

With such strong buzz, Force of Nature promises to be one of the biggest concerts this region has ever seen. Backstreet Boys, Wyclef Jean and Boyz II Men arrived at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Sepang yesterday.

They were spotted registering and making the Force of Nature hand sign.

The concert is in aid of the Asian tsunami victims. The Dec 26 tsunami killed almost 200,000 people and left hundreds of thousands homeless.

The Force of Nature Concert for Tsunami Aid is produced by Intersection Entertainment and is supported by its local partner, Jojo Entertainment.

Tickets are priced at RM82, RM182, RM242, RM352 and RM552 and can be bought online at www.axcess.com.my or telephone 03-7711 5000. For details, visit www.forceofnature.org. [source] (http://www.mmail.com.my/Current_News/MM/Thursday/National/20050317105336/Article/index_html)

17 Mar 2005 | Pop Musicians Say Tsunami Victims Still Need More Help

http://img70.exs.cx/img70/6342/0090rr.jpg

The Backstreet Boys, Black Eyed Peas and other pop celebrities who will perform at a charity concert for tsunami victims this week insist that more should be done for people affected by the disaster.

"Waves and rains and earthquakes can bring about devastation and pain - but then, the human force of nature can bring love,'' said Will.I.Am of hip-hoppers Black Eyed Peas, who traveled to Indonesia's Aceh province earlier this week to visit survivors of the Dec. 26 tsunami.

He is among an array of international artists slated to play Friday at the "Force of Nature'' show in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - an effort to raise money to help rebuild communities in Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka and India.

"I think it's important that people like us that come from America go back home and let (others) know that we're far from cleaning up'' the damage from the disaster, Will.I.Am said at a news conference Thursday.

The concert will also feature Wyclef Jean, Lauryn Hill, Boyz II Men, the Backstreet Boys, as well as appearances by Hong Kong stars Jackie Chan and Nicholas Tse and other Asian celebrities such as Malaysian-born actress Michelle Yeoh.

Kevin Richardson of the Backstreet Boys hoped the event would raise awareness about the lingering needs of tsunami victims.

"When something of this magnitude happens... (there's) an outpouring of shock, generosity and human compassion,'' Richardson said.

"Unfortunately, life moves on and people get back into their everyday grind and they forget.''

"Part of the effort in this concert is to let people know that it is not over, there is much still to be done,'' Richardson said. [source] (http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2005/3/17/latest/20050317145659&sec=latest)

17 Mar 2005 | Backstreet Boys at the Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix Ice Gala
The Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix Ice Gala, to be held at 7pm tonight at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Kuala Lumpur will not only feature some of the world’s hottest celebrities, but also a who’s who in Malaysian high society.

About 700 guests are expected to attend the function, including the King and Queen, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and his cabinet members, Michael Schumacher and his fellow F1 drivers, Baywatch actress Carmen Electra, Kung Fu superstar Jackie Chan, Bai Ling, Nicholas Tse, Malaysia’s very own Datuk Michelle Yeoh, KISS singer Gene Simmons, Black Eyed Peas, Backstreet Boys and Boyz II Men.

The idea to hold a gala dinner in conjunction with the race was mooted by Sepang International Circuit (SIC) chairman Datuk Mokhzani Mahathir. With Sepang, dubbed the "hottest F1 race", the organisers of the dinner have creatively taken a "cool" theme for the pre-race event. [source] (http://metro.thestar.com.my/news/2005/3/10435353.html)

18 Mar 2005 | International Musicians Rock Malaysia

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y80/stonesour_chick/the%20guys/Group/1.jpg

Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean, former members of hip-hop group The Fugees, reunited onstage in Malaysia on Friday in an adrenaline-charged charity concert for tsunami victims.

The Backstreet Boys, Black Eyed Peas and Boyz II Men were among other acts that entertained an enthusiastic crowd of 15,000 people, raising more than $2.6 million to rebuild tsunami-devastated communities in Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka and India.

The seven-hour "Force of Nature" show at Kuala Lumpur's Stadium Putra was the biggest concert in Malaysian history, marking the first initiative of a local nonprofit organization dedicated to raising funds for natural disaster survivors.

"A terrible tragedy has struck the area that we call home," said Malaysian-born action star Michelle Yeoh. "This has moved many of us to act, because we cannot forget and we cannot let those faces in the headlines fade away."

The concert highlighted impassioned performances by numerous Asian sensations, including Hong Kong's Nicholas Tse and Yumiko Cheng, Indonesia's Ruth Sahanaya and Malaysia's Sheila Majid.

Hong Kong action legend Jackie Chan sang a tender Mandarin-language love ballad for the audience, which included Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and an array of Cabinet ministers.

Hill and Jean, who comprised two-thirds of the Grammy-winning rap group The Fugees before it split in the late 1990s, made a rare appearance together onstage, rendering the most power-packed performance of the night.

The charismatic hip-hoppers sang three of The Fugees' biggest hits from their acclaimed 1996 album, "The Score" — "Killing Me Softly With His Song," "Ready or Not" and "Fu-Gee-La."

"This is history in the making," a choked-up Jean said in a dramatic gesture, kneeling down in front of Hill. "Do you all understand what's happening on this stage? I'm too emotional right now."

Jean also delivered the night's most poignant moment. While gently chanting "We'll never forget the tsunami victims," he instructed the stadium lights to be turned off while the audience waved lighted cell phones in the darkness.

Other celebrities who made brief speeches at the event included "American Idol" judge Paula Abdul and former contestant Clay Aiken, Oscar nominee Ken Watanabe and pop singers Joey Fatone and Lance Bass from 'N Sync.

19 Mar 2005 | Thousands Rock for Tsunami Aid at Malaysia's Biggest Concert

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y80/stonesour_chick/the%20guys/Group/2.jpg

Tens of thousands of people rocked to raise money for tsunami relief at a star-studded concert late Friday that was the biggest ever held in Malaysia, one of the countries battered in the December disaster.

US hip hop act Black Eyed Peas, soul singer Lauryn Hill, boy band Backstreet Boys, R and B stars Boyz II Men and rapper Wyclef Jean performed for 13,000 people packed into a stadium just outside Kuala Lumpur for the eight-hour event.

Crowds gathered three hours early to catch a glimpse of their icons as they arrived on the red carpet before a show that had Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi side by side with excited young fans.

"It is our honour, it is our duty to be here tonight, to do this for an important cause," Boyz II Men singer Shawn Stockman told the crowd.

Jean and Hill, of the now-defunct Grammy-award winning hip-hop group Fugees, teamed up for the night, sending screaming fans to their feet, dancing and waving huge orange pieces of hand-shaped foamboard in the air.

The mood momentarily shifted when the lights were turned off during one of Jean’s songs and the crowd waved lighted mobile phones in remembrance of the more than 270,000 people killed in the tsunami across the region.

But it picked up again as the deafening roar from the audience reached ear-splitting levels when Backstreet Boys, the penultimate act, performed chart-topping hits including "Incomplete," the first single from their forthcoming album.

Hong Kong pop singer Nicholas Tse, action movie star Jackie Chan, Malaysia's jazz queen Sheila Majid and Indonesian singer Ruth Sahanaya were also on the bill.

Former Baywatch bombshell Carmen Electra, Joey Fatone and Lance Bass from boy band 'N Sync, "American Idol" judge Paula Abdul and former contestant Clay Aiken, Japanese actor Ken Watanabe and Chinese actress Bai Ling made brief appearances.

Razali Ismail, special envoy to Malaysia's tsunami aid efforts, said the concert organised by Malaysian charity Force of Nature, and timed to coincide with the Formula One Grand Prix race at the weekend, had raised more than 10 million ringgit (2.63 million dollars).

"When you hear the phrase 'force of nature' you think of a disaster, but we believe that the strongest force of nature is the will of the human spirit," he said.

"Thank you for coming and joining us to help the tsunami victims, those who are unable to pick themselves up and need our help."

Former Bond girl Michelle Yeoh said: "On December 26, a terrible disaster struck the area we call home."

"This has moved many of us to act, that is why we are all here tonight. We cannot let those faces in the headlines just fade away," she said.

Malaysia escaped the huge tsunami death tolls suffered by other Indian Ocean countries. Nearly 70 people were killed in the country, a fraction of the more than 200,000 people believed dead or missing in Indonesia alone.

19 Mar 2005 | Night of Glamour and Excitement at Force of Nature Concert

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y80/stonesour_chick/the%20guys/Group/3.jpg

The crowd went wild as their favourite singers appeared on stage at the Force of Nature concert.

They were treated to exciting non-stop entertainment during the star-studded event at Stadium Putra in Bukit Jalil last night.

When international act Boyz II Men performed some of their older hits like On Bended Knee, the 15,000-strong crowd clapped and sang along.

American singer Wyclef Jean was also a hit with the audience as he sang a medley of songs that included Jump Around, No Woman No Cry and Guantanamera.

Dressed in white jackets and hats, The Backstreet Boys were full of energy and had the crowd cheering wildly as they belted out a number of old hits and new songs.

Pop group Black Eyed Peas gave an exciting show singing numbers like Let’s Get It Started and Where Is the Love? from their award-winning album Elephunk.

More than RM10mil has been raised from the concert for tsunami-hit countries in the region.

The event is the first initiative of the Force of Nature Foundation, a non-profit organisation that aims to raise funds for victims of natural disasters around the world and awareness of their long-term needs.

People began arriving at the stadium as early as 5.30pm, with the hope of catching a glimpse of their favourite stars as they walked along the carpet, which was orange – the colour of the foundation’s handprint symbol.

Among the special guests who attended the concert were international star Jackie Chan, American fashion designer Kimora Lee Simmons, who is also a former model, American magician David Blaine and Paula Abdul and Clay Aiken of American Idol fame.

The show kicked off at 8pm with American singer Lauryn Hill delivering five songs.

Malaysian bands Innuendo, VE and Ruffedge performed together, singing songs like the popular Belaian Jiwa.

Clad in an orange dress, local jazz diva Sheila Majid sang a couple of songs, including one of her older hits called Manusia, and also performed with Anuar Zain, Dayang Nurfaizah, Innuendo, VE and Ruffedge, singing the inspiring song Jauh. Indonesian star Ruth Sahanaya did a medley before teaming up with American artiste Eric Benet to present Everybody Doesn't Matter.

Among the dignitaries who attended the concert were Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, Information Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Kadir Sheikh Fadzir, Education Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein, Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Azalina Othman and Force of Nature Foundation special ambassador Tan Sri Razali Ismail.

Jordan Knight will tour with other former boyband members this summer and rumor had it Nick would also be a part of the lineup. Apparently the rumor was true and Jordan confirmed Nick's appearance in the interview below. The tour is called 'Boys of Summer' and it'll only be a couple of shows long. I personally think it's a very bad idea for Nick to be part of this, but...

Can you tell us more about the ‘Boys of Summer’ tour? [source] (http://www.hotvibes.com/JordanInt.htm)
It’s gonna be hot because it’s summertime. It’s gonna be me, Rich Cronin, Nick Carter, Jeff Timmons from 98 Degrees, and maybe JC. I [have to] call him; we’ll see if he goes for it.

Howie D wrote "Forces Of Nature" song

In an interview with Jason Cheah and Geoffrey Lip, Howie D admitted he wrote a song called "Forces of Nature."

(Star-Ecentral.com) - We get to see Kevin Richardson, Brian Littrell, Nick Carter, Howie D, A.J. McLean and Nick Carter before they hit the clubs in the US for some warm up gigs leading up to the release of its first studio album since 2000. The new single Incomplete will be released to US radio only in late March. So this KL performance is a big deal and a gig not be missed.

"We felt honoured to be asked as we feel a sense of duty," said Richardson at the Force of Nature media conference yesterday. "This region has been incredibly supportive of us and we have been around this region many times. We are honoured to have what will be our first concert here."

"I wrote a song two years ago called Forces of Nature and I was thinking of offering it as a theme song for the foundation," added Howie D.

21 Mar 2005 | Superb Showcase at Force of Nature Concert
Last Friday's Force of Nature Concert for Tsunami Aid in Kuala Lumpur was a historic event of sorts for both the country and the international entertainment scene.

Held at Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil, the seven-hour concert was the biggest ever in Malaysia to be held at one location. (1998 saw the disastrous Rentak Asia festival which featured more than 30 artistes performing in three different venues at the National Sports Complex.)

The concert also marked the first initiative of the Force of Nature Aid Foundation, a non-profit organisation based in KL that aims to raise funds and awareness for victims of natural disasters around the world.

For music fans all around the world, however, the concert marked the first time The Fugees alumni Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean performed together on stage outside of the United States since they started their solo careers in the late 1990s. Said an emotional Jean during the show: "This is history in the making. Do you all understand what's happening on this stage? I'm too emotional right now."

Hill kicked off the show at 8pm with a more mellow set. The singer sang a number of her gospel tracks, as well as three tracks – X-Factor, Lost Ones and Doo Wop (That Thing) – from her multi award-winning solo debut, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

Malaysian group Innuendo, which has not been in the music scene for a while, was the next act. Backed by some of the members from R&B and hip-hop groups V.E. and Ruffedge, Innuendo did two songs, which included the popular hit Belaian Jiwa. Although Innuendo is one group that's known for its members' good vocals, its show was spoiled by technical glitches and bad audio (it was too loud for comfort). This problem kept creeping up throughout the night, but the 15,000 or so fans in the audience didn't seem to mind much.

Malaysian jazz diva Sheila Majid was in top form that night and got the crowd on their feet with her rendition of hits like Manusia, Warna and Sinaran. The petite singer was then joined by Innuendo, V.E., Ruffedge, Dayang Nurfaizah and Anuar Zain for the inspiring song Ikhlas Tapi Jauh.

American vocal R&B group Boyz II Men showed off their talents with songs like Water Runs Dry, End of the Road, On Bended Knee and Mama. Now down to only three members, Boyz II Men gave a terrific show with their strong vocals and good showmanship. Shawn Stockman got the audience to sing along during On Bended Knee, while the group gave out stalks of red roses to those standing near the stage. With such good reception from the crowd, it is a wonder why this group has never been to Malaysia for a concert before.

Indonesian singer Ruth Sahanaya sang a medley of old and new tracks, including a Bahasa Malaysia and English version of Kaulah Segalanya. Sahanaya then did a romantic duet with American singer Eric Benet. Their voices complemented each other well, which was fortunate considering the limited time they had to rehearse. Benet noted that the musicians that supported his set that night had only met a few hours back and had very little chance to rehearse. Still, the band played flawlessly.

After a long interval, Wyclef Jean's act kicked off with a DJ spinning a medley of popular tracks. Jean, who is not only famous for being a musically creative genius but also for his unending support towards charity benefit shows, appeared on stage after a while and began singing the intro to Bob Marley's No Woman, No Cry.

Jean was a true showman as he got the audience to dance, sing and wave their hands to his music. He even jumped into the audience at one point, giving fans high-fives, shaking hands and dancing with them.

Jean's show included a guitar number which saw him playing a sequined guitar with histeeth, imitating the style of legendary rock star Jimi Hendrix.

After singing Guantanamera, Jean loudly introduced Hill on stage, much to the amazement and delight of the audience.

The duo sang Fu-Gee-La and Ready or Not, taken from their sophomore album The Score, before Hill promptly left the stage. Minutes later, Jean again called Hill out as the intro to Killing Me Softly With His Song played in the background. The crowd went wild at this and the duo looked like they appreciated the gesture too.

After their rousing set, the performance of Backstreet Boys didn’t seem so interesting. However, there were still a big number of fans in the crowd who were excited with their appearance. Perhaps it is because this is the group’s first proper show in Malaysia.

Backstreet Boys did a bang-up job of pleasing the audience, doing each choreographed dance perfectly. They sang old hits like I Want it That Way, More Than This, Shape of My Heart and the first single from their highly-anticipated new album, Incomplete. Vocally, the group members did well, but even if their voices did falter, no one noticed it because of the bad audio.

Fortunately, by the time closing act The Black Eyed Peas came on stage, the sound system had been fixed. Always one to show off their talents, the hip-hop/pop band were dancing and jumping around the stage like happy bunnies, singing tracks like Hey Mama, Shut Up and Let’s Get it Started. The band members also showed off their individual talents – Will.I.am was beat-boxing, Taboo and Apl.de.Ap were freestyle rapping while vocalist Fergie showed her vocal prowess by doo wopping melodies in several different pitches.

The band also sampled a number of hit songs like Kelis's Milkshake (Will.I.am sang "My hip-hop brings all the girls to the joint"), Snoop Dogg's Drop it Like it's Hot and White Stripes's Seven-Nation Army. The Black Eyed Peas sure knew how to get the crowd going even in the wee hours of the morning (they came on stage just before 2am).

All in all, The Force of Nature Concert for Tsunami Aid was a good gig enjoyed by many. Even with the obvious hiccups in the sound system and the long intervals in between shows, the concert was commendable not only for its charitable efforts but also for its show of solidarity among the artistes and celebrities.

22 Mar 2005 | Backstreet Boys Expand Schedule as Tour Opens
The Backstreet Boys have embarked on their comeback club tour, which has seen a few recent itinerary tweaks and additions.

Shows that were set to take place in Norfolk, VA, and Myrtle Beach, SC, have been pushed back to later dates in April, and new dates have been added for Atlanta and the Dallas area. Details are in the itinerary below.

According to reports from the tour's Monday night (3/21) opener at New York City's Irving Plaza, the quintet played a nearly two-hour show that mixed its hits with a few new songs. Though the Irving Plaza's small stage made the band's trademark dance routines impossible, they reportedly dusted off a few choreographed moves.

The tour precedes the expected early June release of Backstreet Boys' first new album since 2000's eight-million-selling "Black & Blue." The new album's first single, "Incomplete," will be released to radio March 28, 10 days later than initially planned, according to Jive Records.

The entire group — Kevin Richardson, AJ McLean, Brian Littrell, Howie Dorough and Nick Carter — is on board for the new album and tour.

Max Martin — who was involved in the writing and production of previous Backstreet Boys hits "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)," "As Long as You Love Me" and "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" — worked with the group on one of the upcoming album's tracks.

Last Friday (3/18), Backstreet Boys were among several acts to perform at the "Force of Nature Tsunami Aid" concert in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to raise money for victims of last year's tsunami. [source] (http://www.livedaily.com/news/7899.html?t=98)

24 Mar 2005 | Backstreet Boys Comeback

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v683/Noclue4aname/Force%20of%20Nature/backstage01.jpg

Backstreet Boys
Rating: 4/5 stars
Place: Iriving Plaza, New York
Audience: Sold-out
Length: 1:30
Best: "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely"
Worst: Brian's singing

In their own words: Backstreet's Back.

Aftonbladet was the only Swedish magazine in New York when the most popular boyband in the world made their big comeback. And we can say they still got "it".

For five long years the Backstreet Boys have been on vacation and very few of us belived that we would see them back together again. But now it's time for a well planned comeback.

The first round is a few exclusive club shows in the East coast. The new single will be released during spring and the new album sometime this Summer followed by a world tour in the big arenas.

I'm pretty sure it's all a bit nerve-wracking.

With the Backstreet Boys taking a vacation for five years, the boyband era pretty much faded away. They're hardly teenagers anymore and most of all: The young fans they had in the 90's are older now and might very well have moved on.

However, judging from the concert last night, there's still plenty of room in the world for at least this boyband. The fans are definitely still there, and they still scream the way we're used to.

The only sign that they are older is that it's no longer teddybears that are being thrown on stage. Now they throw panties...

Brian, Kevin, Nick, A.J and Howie make pretty much the same impression as they used to. They look fresh and healthy, they dance well (even though the Irving Plaza stage maybe is a little too small to show off all the moves) and all the guys, except Brian Littrell, sing beautifully.

As usual it's the ballads that work best, "Shape of My Heart" and "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely" are classics today.

It's the ballads that stick out from the new material as well. A Max Martin produced song called "I Still" sounds like a pontential hit after the first notes.

No argument, Backstreet IS back! [source] (http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/noje/story/0,2789,621981,00.html)

Force of Nature fan review
Hi Everyone!

The concert was a blast! We got good seats [actually we sneaked into the VIP section, lol]...the concert lasted for 7 hours! and the boys's was second last, started at about 1:05am. The start of their performance was something like the intro of B&B, only the earth thingy was replaced with the Force of Nature logo, it was so hyped everyone started rushing down to the front rows, and gasp, majority were guys! Well, at least where we were, lol.

They started off with The Call, and damn! They were wearing white suits [different shirts underneath] and white hats [like the one aj wore in IWITW]...

We need to stress, that the guys were SHARP in their dance moves [and yes, they danced, and we were floored!]

- Nick Carter : THOR was rocking the house everyone! LMAO! He was THAT excited, heh.

- Brian was immitating the crowd; he was simply cute! He was FLIRTING with the crowd! [nick was flirting but that's expected, lol]

- Kevin said, ' this performance is first and foremost for the fans and it's because of the fans that we're here'

- Howie said they're honored and priviledged to be here for this event and the fans.

- AJ was too surprised by the response, he really didnt talk much but look around, lol.

They sang Beautiful Woman and the crowd went silent cause no one heard of it [except us, lol] and after that, kevin asked if we liked it and the guys in our area went 'YEAH!' it was hilarious. Crowd response was awesome, they were up from their seats! Even the VIPs!

IWITW is definitely a crowd favorite. Everyone had their hands in the air and going 'tell me whhhyyyy!!!' the guys' interaction with the crowd was magical!

They sang 8 songs but we're in a rush...we have to say though, they sang Incomplete and Kevin said they're singing their first single LIVE for the first time specially for us! woohoo! The crowd went silent again and after that song, Howie asked if we love the single and we went 'yeah!' lol...it was a trip cause the guys in the audience were loving it, we have to stress that, hehe.
[to breezetwist - kevin was down in his wifebeater by this song...yowzah!]

Oh bitybella, kevin was in BLACK *wink*

A LOT of Frick & Frack moment

overall it was magical! but we'll hv to write a detailed review once we're back in Singapore. We have video/audio clips of each songs and we'll put that up soon.

We didnt get any BSB encounter though but we got lots of media coverage during the red carpet, LOL...thanks to Gal's banner...and we met a lot of backstreet boys fans there. When the MTV vj asked who we were there for, everyone was screaming BACKSTREET BOYS! lmao! And they asked who is our favorite and we said 'ALL OF THEM!' lol...and they asked us why we love BSB and we went on and on about their good music and their talent and when they asked a guy fan why he likes BSB, he talked about the guys and ended with, er, they're cute, lol...he was nervous!

There were a few banners in the crowd for the boys, so that's a good sign, lol.

Nick and Kevin saw our banner, lol...Nick had this look on his face when he read the banner and firewhisky said he was smirking and was beside himself, lol.

oh, and Brian was so nice, he saw a banner from way up at the balcony area [you hardly see it] and he went ' i see my peeps!' lol...that was sooo sweet of him. the banner said 'I STILL LOVE BSB'

We had a great time, even if it's only for 8 songs, they were really on cue with their singing and their stage presence was felt, we were surprised at how sharp their dancing were! lol

For everyone in the US, you're LUCKY to have the guys there. Even if they're not coming to anywhere near you in the mini tour, you know there'll be an official tour in big arenas once the album is out. We waited 9 years for 8 songs and when they bowed for the last time and waved us goodbye, we wonder if we'll ever experience the magic that is BSB ever again. Even so, if we never get to have a full concert ever, this has been a dream come true...so count your blessings!

btw, the 8 songs are:
The Call
Beatiful Woman
Shape of My Heart
As Long As You Love Me
More Than That
IWITW
Incomplete
Backstreet's Back

hugs,
Gal, Firewhisky & Mers

Edit: hehe...they sang All i hv to give...so that's 9 for 9 years, lol. and OMG! AIHTG was AWESOME! THE HAT DANCE! AHHH!!!

* added on the LD thread: They also sang The One so that's 10 songs in all

About Bri on Larry King Live...
I saw him at Larry King yesterday, got to watch 3/4 of the show before I had to leave the house and he was great http://pinoyexchange.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif The whole show was about heart disease. He was kinda nervous at the start but he got more animated and Rok like as the program went on. He even turned the table on Larry at one point and asked the host about his own post heart surgery lifestyle lol! He talked about his open heart surgery 7 years ago, how he's perfectly fine now and how great it is to be able to perform 2 hours every night with BSB, what the HHC is doing, how amazingly generous BSB fans are in raising funds for the HHC and how they're making sure Baylee leads a healthy heart life (this is the part I missed). He was all smiley and attentive to what the other guests were saying and he also had a boo boo lol! He got the HHC website addy wrong, he said .com when it should be .org http://pinoyexchange.com/forums/images/smilies/lol.gif

• 28 Mar 2005 | Backstreet Boys Stage Comeback, But Does Anyone Care?

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y80/stonesour_chick/the%20guys/Group/irving1.jpg
Backstreet's coming back. But as one of the biggest-selling boy bands in pop music history prepares its return, questions remain: Will their former fans still care?

One of the most beloved boy bands of the '90s, the Backstreet Boys sold millions of albums, played to massive crowds on countless stadium tours and won the hearts of teenage girls worldwide.

The boys — Brian Littrell, Kevin Richardson, A.J. McLean, Nick Carter, and Howie Dorough — are about to release their first album in five years and embark on a small 16-city club tour.

It's a risky move, considering the era of the boy band has long been dead.

The market was fertile ground during the group's rise in the mid to late '90s, but the new millennium has seen the birth of "anti-pop," with the Avril Lavignes of the world replacing the likes of Britney Spears and pop-punk bands such as Simple Plan, Green Day and Good Charlotte occupying the iPods of the nation's youth.

Gary Bongiovanni, editor-in-chief of Pollstar, an online source for music industry news, says the critical question is whether there will be an audience for the Backstreet Boys' music.

"That'll be the real key, if their music ends up getting accepted by the public again," says Bongiovanni. "The history of teen pop acts, which I guess you'd have to call the Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync, Britney or anybody else, demonstrates that they have a very rapid ascent and a very rapid descent as well in their career arcs. Very few of them last more than a few years."

Backstreet was hardly the first group to call itself a boy band and incorporate vocal harmonies with synchronized dance moves (think The Bay City Rollers in the '70s, Menudo in the '80s and later New Kids on the Block), but they did lead the way for similar groups, including 'N Sync, 98 Degrees and O-Town.

The group's self-titled debut album, released in 1996 in Canada and Europe, sold more than eight million copies and spawned hits such as Quit Playin' Games (With My Heart) and I'll Never Break Your Heart.

The hits continued on their next three albums, and so did the sales. Millennium, released in 1999, sold 21 million copies alone.

"The Backstreet Boys were enormous," says Bongiovanni. "They were stadium headliners. The one act that comes immediately to mind was New Kids on the Block, which went from being able to sell out football stadiums to not even being able to do club tours and then they just disbanded."

Backstreet's new single, Incomplete, is described as a "power ballad." It will hit radio stations on Monday. The rest of the yet to be titled album is due for release in June.

"We're all excited again," Kevin Richardson told The Canadian Press in a recent interview about the group's return. "We just needed a break to recharge our batteries and step back and absorb it all, and realize what happened to us over the last 10 years."

Christy Johnson, now 25, is less excited about the Backstreet Boys return.

A fanatic follower of the group during the height of its popularity, Johnson remembers waiting in line overnight for a chance to see her musical idols in concert.

Today, Johnson is skeptical about the group's comeback.

"I'd check them out but I don't think I would go to the extent I did when I was younger," says Johnson. "It's more of a teenage thing. I'm a little older now, so boy bands don't appeal to me like they used to."

Janet Giovanelli, editor in chief of J-14, an American teen magazine, says that like Johnson, many of the Backstreet Boys' fans have moved on.

"My gut reaction was no way because it's been over five years since their last album and their fans, they were young at the time, they're in their late teens, early 20s, they're not going to be interested in the Backstreet Boys," she said.

"But the more I looked into it, I see that their club dates are selling out really fast. They've added another date here in New York and both dates are sold out.

"There definitely is some interest there. Will they ever see the glory days that they had nine, 10 years ago? Doubtful because music just seems to be going in such a different direction."

She's not sure how the younger set, like J-14 readers, will respond to an act like the Backstreet Boys.

"My readers are young and five years ago, some of them were in kindergarten, so they didn't know about the Backstreet Boys, it was more about Barney."

During the group's hiatus, Nick Carter released a solo album, 2003's Now or Never, but it paled in comparison to 'N Sync counterpart Justin Timberlake's smash debut Justified. Littrell will release a solo album this year on a Christian label.

Carter has also been in the trouble with the law — he was charged with impaired driving in March — and McLean spent time in rehab for depression and alcohol abuse while the group was still together in 2001.

"I don't think it's going to hurt them," says Giovanelli. "Look at the success of 50 Cent, that shooting helped him... it's bringing more attention to them, as sad as that is and also, they haven't done anything so horrific."

Nabeela Damji, 17, is one fan who hasn't been deterred by the problems some of the group members have experienced.

"They're human, right? As long as people and their fans realize that they're human and they make mistakes, then I guess it's all good and you have to support them because they're not perfect."

Damji, who attended two Backstreet Boys concerts in Calgary in 2001 and 1998, welcomes the comeback.

"I am sooo excited," says Damji, who has no doubt she will buy the new album. "It's well overdue. There's just something about them. They're an amazing band. They can sing, they can dance, they've got it all."

With the Backstreet Boys on the comeback trail, can more boy band reunions be far behind?

"If there proves to be a market for the Backstreet Boys, I would imagine that you'll see 'N Sync again," says Bongiovanni. [source] (http://www.canada.com/search/story.html?id=84583f24-2212-4080-8d63-d18378a98dbd) Thanks to julie @ LD.

FanReview: Scranton Cultural Center - Scranton, PA
Howie undressing for fans
(DLS) - The following FanReview was posted on the DLS Forums (http://dlsonline.net/forums) by bsbfictionwriter. You can also check out some of her pictures from her own gallery here (http://www.gravato.com/gallery/Scranton).

Hello everyone!

The concert was great, better than the first show on Monday. The guys seemed more together and interacted better with each other. They sounded amazing and looked hot as usual. Bras were flying on stage all night, that's how good they looked.

Before the show, we were standing in line and met up with another fan, Racheal, from Philly. We had seen her MOnday night as well. She had a sign for Nick and there was extra space on it so we wrote, "Howie, lose the shirt!" and "Nick, lose the pants!" on it.

At one point, she was able to hand it to Nick up on stage (she was in line at the very front) and when Howie saw it, he took his overshirt off but wouldn't take the t-shirt off. Nick then saw the other part of it and went to unbuckle his pants but stopped, of course.

After the show, we went around to where the bus was and got a glimpse of Nick and when Howie, AJ, and Kevin came out, the came over and shook hands with a few and signed some autographs for some. I wasn't lucky enough for either this time but oh well, it was a great night anyway.

FanReview: Electric Factory - Philadelphia, PA
Fan meets Backstreet Boys

(DLS) - The following review comes to us from the DLS Forums (http://dlsonline.net/forums) and was posted by sarcasticrach92.

So I went to the BSB concert in Philly last night. I Worked til 12:00 then went home to pick up my sister who was coming with me. We got to the Electric Factory around 1:45. The show wouldn't start until 8:30 but we wanted to be right up front. Well when we got there there was already 100+ people there already. Some even camped out all night. So we were a little bummed. We sat on the cold sidewalk for 5+ hours not to mention it was windy and ****ing freezing out! At 7:00 the doors finally opened and they let us in. We were very close to the stage which was very exciting, like 4 or 5 rows back. There was no opening act. Just a local radio station, Q102 Dj'd.

Well we stood there for almost 2 hours before the boys came out! It was horrible. But when they finally came out all the waiting and anticipation of the day was worth it. They all looked great and sounded amazing as usual. The sang and danced to all the hits and 7 of the new songs. I threw a braclet at Howie and he picked it up and wore it the rest of the concert! I took 3 rolls of film with my zoom camera and 75 pictures with my digital camera. They came back to do their encore which consisted of Everybody (my favorite performance of the concert), Drowning, and of course, Incomplete.

The place was sold out and packed to the brim. It was quite hot and some people did fall down so please drink lots of water! A girl next to me started puking...that was pretty nasty. There was very little pushing which was nice. After the concert we made our way back out to my car which was parked in the back of the venue. As I was pulling out of my space I saw Brian come out of the backdoor! I started yelling to my sister, "There's Brian, there's Brian!" Brian didn't stop to sign autographs so I was about to drive away when Kevin came out. Before I could do anything my sister jumped out of the car. So I parked my car and went over. Kevin was very gracious and signed autographs, took pics with fans, and gave out hugs. My sis got a hug from him and she said he smelled very good! Like Axe, lol! After Kevin left, Nick came out about 5 minutes later! I was dying because I been in love with him since 1996! I asked him to sign something for me which he did! I also grabbed his hand and wouldn't let go! OMG he is sooo much hotter in person you have no idea. Nick was also very nice and spent a good amount of time with the fans hugging, giving pictures and autographs etc.

After Nick had departed we waited for a good 15 minutes until A.J. came out. A.J. was very sweet and he signed something for me and took a picture with me! I had my arm around A.J. and he had his arm around me I still can't believe it!!! When A.J. left Howie came out a few minutes later and he also signed something for me. All the guys were so sweet to sign things for the fans, it was a wonderful day. My dream finally came true, I met the Backstreet Boys!!! Then when I was leaving I hit a damn parked car and cracked his bumper! I was sooo pissed. HAHA but it wouldn't spoil my night anyway. It was by far the best night of my life!

Tommy Lee Parties With Good Charlotte, Slash And, Er, Nick Carter on Tommyland
03.23.2005 8:54 PM EST

Crue drummer says Carter is 'so not the milk-and-cookies Backstreet guy people think.'

The nonstop party that is the life of Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee for about the past 20 years gets cranked up several notches on his upcoming solo album, Tommyland: The Ride, which is due in August.

And although he knows

"Nick Carter's a maniac. He's scared me a few times." — Tommy Lee

http://www.mtv.com/sitewide/images/spacer.gifit's a cliché, he swears the album is the best thing he's ever done.

"It's true, this is the best thing I've ever done!" Tommy yelled from a stop on the Mötley Crüe reunion tour (see "Mötley Crüe Plan Summertime Carnival Of Sin With Sum 41" (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/)). "I mean, people will be like, 'Is that f---ing Tommy?' It's like an event record."

That much is true, as Tommy has invited a galaxy of rockers to join him in his playland, among them: Joel Madden from Good Charlotte, Sum 41's Deryck Whibley, Slash, Dave Navarro, Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger and his good buddy, Backstreet Boy Nick Carter.

"This is more like my last record [2002's Never a Dull Moment] than the Methods of Mayhem record, which was all over the place," said Lee, who spent several weeks in December and January shuttling between all-day recording sessions and rehearsals for the Crüe tour. "This one is right down the middle, it's not so hybrid. It has rock, pop, everything."

Lee's third solo album will be released to coincide with his NBC reality show, "Tommy Lee Goes to College," which he said recently got bumped up from a summer replacement to a fall show, due to the positive feedback. The original rush to get the album done meant Tommy had to scrap a planned duet with Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, but he did get to record a "f---ing amazing" song with former fling Pink. Unfortunately, he said, the singer later denied him the rights to her vocals.

What you will hear as the theme song to his show is the catchy, feel-good pop tune "Good Times," which features Navarro on acoustic guitar and producer/singer Butch Walker on the choruses, singing, "Take me away to a place where the good times, good times roll/ Don't let me stay in a place where the hate can't steal my soul."

The album's likely first single — and the song guaranteed to turn heads — is "Tired," which paints a scenario that could only exist in Tommyland. With help from Joel Madden on the chorus and Whibley and Navarro on guitar, Tommy pays tribute his famous ex, Pamela Anderson, among other beauties.

"You know when you're sitting there with one of your buddies and you say, 'I can't believe so and so is f---ing her!' And it's some supermodel or something and your buddy says, 'Yeah, but I bet he's tired of f---ing her.' "

OK, so maybe none of us can relate, but it's hard not to laugh when you hear Joel sing, "Tommy got tired of Pamela/ Ed got tired of Salma/ Hef gets tired of those Playboy girls/ Someone is tired of Miss Nude World/ And I'm tired of you."

Also lending a hand: Fuel's Carl Bell on "Sister Mary," Kroeger on the big rock track "Tryin' to Be Me" and Something Corporate vocalist Andrew McMahon singing background on the "Coldplay/ Radiohead/ Beatlesy" ballad "Hello Again." And, of course, Slash cuts it up on the song "Krusty."

But, odd as it may sound, Tommy sounds most excited about his collaboration with Backstreet Boy Nick Carter. "Nick sings his ass off!" Tommy said of the song "Say Goodbye." "We've been friends for a while, and he's so not the milk-and-cookies Backstreet guy people think. Of all the rockers who came by to collaborate, that mother----er's the craziest. He's a maniac. He's scared me a few times."

After his first two major-label solo albums failed to catch platinum fire, Lee has jumped off the major train for Tommyland and has hooked up with music distributor the Handleman company in a deal that aims to keep the album's retail price at around $10.

While it would be hard to mount a traditional tour in support of the album, Tommy's ambitious plan is to get everyone together to do a two-week series of gigs in a handful of in major cities. In the meantime, both he and Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx have been demoing new songs on their respective tour bus portable studios and it's likely some of those tunes will end up on a new Mötley record.

"Hopefully we'll make another record soon," he said. "I think there's a good chance we will."

I'm obviously psyched 'bout the BSB album but I woulda been fine with it if Nick followed up NoN first (like he was planning, he was actually starting work on it in London then Oprah happened and boom! The rest as they say is Backstreet history :D). He's ALWAYS said the Boys will come back and I have faith in him. I love how he kept it real in NoN, it's about him and where he was at, not about what's hot at the moment :cool: He's been straight up with the whole solo deal and he didn't the flak that came his way because of fan paranoia (all that breaking up BSB shiz). Thank God everyone's pretty much calmed down with the solo projects, it's easier not only for Nick but all all the other Boys' individual projects (Aside from the Kaos, Brian's got the Christian music thing (http://www.reunionrecords.com/brianlittrell) and his single is doing well, I think AJ said he'll do something solo after this album in one of the radio interviews *but don't quote me on that* and Howie and Kev have been doing behind the scenes music work) :)

The interview is an article, just posted the link 'cause it's 2 pages, there are pics and it is set up good hehe!

yeah i agree with with you there... it pisses me off when people say bsb is long over... well NEWS FLASH!! AS LONG AS THERE'LL BE MUSIC, THEY'LL BE COMIN BACK AND BACK AGAIN! HAH! lol getting emotional there!!

as for kaos' NoN... i love most of his songs there especially HEART WITHOUT A HOME.. i love how nick finally did what he really wanted to eversince.. and thats gearing up with rock music, coz we all know it's been his fave ever since. and yeah he's keepin it real, thats his line, his thang and he's havin fun and thats the best thing (lol i sound like paula abdul in AI :D ) unlike someone :p peace! lol:D

im looking forward to B-rok's solo too!!! i love the solo songs ive heard from him! yay fro BRI!!!

Bottomline is the solo projects helps BSB in the long run and peeps shouldn't be threatened by them. It lets each Boy explore and challenge their musical horizons and the knowledge gained goes back to the group in the end. They're 5 very different individuals with their own individual tastes and preferences, it should come as no surprise and no cause for alarm that they all have their own thing keepin' them busy on the side. That's the beauty of BSB, 5 different guys that's still unmistakably a group, it's the love of harmony and their love for each other that glues them together :cool: So long as the Boys are committed to the group, and there's no sign pointing to the contrary, there'll always be Backstreet ;)

Who cares about Paris? lol! JWR and NCOC's problems were from environmental associations in general finding it harder to gather funds than say anti-disease orgs.

His involvement in powerboat racing is really driven by his dad (Bob was into it). Nick obviously had a blast and loved it as well of course but with his parents' divorce and staying away from the drama and all, I can imagine why he'd be disheartened to continue with it. I hope he resumes his involvement in the future 'cause it was great way for him to unwind :)

I think with Tommy talking about it nonstop, his fans are used to the idea by now LOL!

They're 5 very different individuals with their own individual tastes and preferences, it should come as no surprise and no cause for alarm that they all have their own thing keepin' them busy on the side. That's the beauty of BSB, 5 different guys that's still unmistakably a group, it's the love of harmony and their love for each other that glues them together :cool: So long as the Boys are committed to the group, and there's no sign pointing to the contrary, there'll always be Backstreet ;)

ALL THE WAY BABY! You got that right there... like nick venturing to rock and edgier genre, brian goin for christian songs, etc. they're not just after large scale stuff . for them, as long as they are pursuing what they want and if people like it then its good. they have come a long way thats for sure.. They really matured much, it made them wiser. They wont regret one day and say "i should have done this and that" ;)

Who cares about Paris? lol! JWR and NCOC's problems were from environmental associations in general finding it harder to gather funds than say anti-disease orgs.

oh yeah that's true and it's sad. kev's really involved into this project, too bad it had to go :(

His involvement in powerboat racing is really driven by his dad (Bob was into it). Nick obviously had a blast and loved it as well of course but with his parents' divorce and staying away from the drama and all, I can imagine why he'd be disheartened to continue with it. I hope he resumes his involvement in the future 'cause it was great way for him to unwind :)

oh is that the reason? :( i've always envision nick's family as perfect... like their parents are really supporting them all they. too bad it had to end up that way. so is daddy bob (lol, make a wish :p ) still pursuing the racing?

I think with Tommy talking about it nonstop, his fans are used to the idea by now LOL!

hahaha i bet, what can we say.. the guy's smitten with our nickay, just like we do :p

Just having a bit of fun with it :p But yeah! F&F baby! :D

nothing beats the chemistry of FRICK AND FRACK!!! whatda!!! hahah

29 Mar 2005 | Steakery's Special Easter Arrangements

Though Eli's the Place for Steak is normally closed for Easter, Maureen and Marc Schulman made an exception — much to the delight of their youngest daughter, Elana. That's why the Backstreet Boys dined at the Chicago Avenue steakery Sunday — after watching the Michigan State-Kentucky game at the eatery's bar.

A funny note: As they left, one of the band's huge bodyguards was heard whining, after catching a glimpse of ''Desperate Housewives'' on the bar's TV. ''Oh, no! It's a new episode and I missed it!''

*Later that night, A.J., Nick and Howie segued on to the Leg Room — hanging out 'til the wee hours and loving the hip-hop stylings of the Near North Side nightspot's DJ Johnny Price. [source] (http://www.suntimes.com/output/zwecker/cst-ftr-zp29.html) Thanks to Madison_04 @ LD.

About Never Gone
I like it, it's a statement type of a title :) I'm cool with Weird World too (one of the other choices) 'cause it is a weird world after all. Truth to tell, I'm not very particular about titles, as long as it's not offensive and the songs are tight, it's on ;)

i actually dig the title a lot.. it's not somethin cheesy... this is kinda late but i just got to download Weird world, cool song! hopin there's a clear version of it.

About The Hollow
HBO Asis played it last December and I got to watch it twice :D The movie's good for a family horror flick although Kaley Cuoco could have done better, Nick did great especially for his lengthy acting role He had the "good hearted misguided jerk" down with Brody :cool:

ojgirl told me about this airin in HBO, but i was out that time. i missed it dang, i just wish HBO will re-air it!! please oh please:(

About Brew
Last I heard, there's a director switch again and it's underfoing another rewrite. Hopefully, Nick will still be able to do it (with the scheduling details) once they've ironed everything up.

oh so it was not filmed after all, thought they already started filmin it... is this like B-movie also? yeah, seeing those skeds posted, i say they're pretty hectic right now! all the best for the boys!

About "Steakery's Special Easter Arrangements"
LuckyElana Kev and Bri had to cheer for their beloved Wildcats ;) LMAO at the bodyguard!

comment: i dig her review here! very critical!

The following review comes to us courtesy of Mandah.

-----
FanReview#2: Scranton Cultural Center - Scranton, PA
Mandah breaks down the concert

Fans and Security
Well people had camped out over night just to get near the door and by the time 4pm rolled around there was already a block long of people. The fans were nice, some random girls that I stood in line with I talked too. They were very sweet, we were sharing information and it was awesome. The security, I thought in which sucked. People were cutting, girls that were JUST showing up for the concert were jumping in line to the front door and the security wasn't stopping them. A riot almost broke out when the doors open and girls from the back line ran straight for the door. I got rammed into trying to get through the door because people were pushing. Wonder what the boys would have thought about how security was handling fan control.

The Venue/Club
Sucked that it was a standing event but the music was very loud and the DJ was good. (Hot too) He was mixing and playing a bunch of songs, it was so packed in here you barely had room to think! I was lucky enough to be as close as I was to the stage. The stage reminded me of the elementry school stages that would be in the cafeteria.

The Boys
I must say after all these years the boys still look flawless. As they appear in the high gloss pictures, is how they are in person. So goregeous, especially Kevin and Kevin isn't my favorite, was signing to girls and swooning the young woman in the audience. Brian was delicious, so friendly, very funny and very interactive with the fans. Howie, was ok, he was more into harassing Nick on stage than he was into the show. AJ was very into his singing and but on a wonderful performance. Nick was trying to turn people on being sexy, getting close to the crowd, touching hands, getting their attention. Together they had a fabulous performance and seeing them close for once, I think this was the best performance I have seen in my years.

The Music
The music was ok, the band was too loud. They should have turned their systems down a little more, but it probably was like that because of how close to the stage I was. The boys micrphones should have been louder and there were a few small mishaps, when the volume would tweek and the speakers made a high pitch noise, which would have killed a dogs ears. They have a new band, an african american band. The band seemed nice ealry before the show stopping to talk to fans. I think, them in persay helped the boys put on a better performance with how they played. All the music was rhytmatic and upbeat. They mixed songs like 'Everybody' was being played too the beat of Ying Yang Twins 'Whisper'.

The New Material
I think there new songs where wonderful. A very different change from the original Backstreet Era. Though in the beginning, they started with a more R&B sound and then entered a pop, pop rock and now into arena rock. They slowly but surely change. Not to put on a sour note, but just a comparisson. Nsync was completely pop and then jumped to R&B when they got hot. The boys had been slowly easing and mixing things, testing to see if the fans will except a new change or stay where they're at. They want to be seen as serious artist and not just another man made band phenmonia. I think they proved that because when people were saying they were all washed up without the soap, they keep coming back with things new and not running in the ground until people get tired of them. The take breaks and come back and the crowd that is still there are the people that are there for the music, not whats hot. I've already heard the full version so 'Incomplete' and 'Beautiful Woman' so knowing the words to them was a plus. I really loved 'Weird World' and 'Climbing the Walls', I could barely hear 'Poster Girl' though. But I was really loving 'Weird World' as the title sounsd extremely stupid, the song is amazing, co-written with the lead singer of Five for Fighting. they also performed a song called 'Shout' which I think was orignially done by Nick & Michael Jackson. Such a hard rock edge when Nick was singing so fast. They were all into the song including Kevin head banging and him & Nick body slamming each other.

Concert Overall
The concert was absolutely wonderful. They stayed in the same attire, they danced alittle, but more into singing than shaking their asses. I have to say again, they are so goregeous in person and such wonderful men. Not most would think after being in the business for so long, you'd think they'd turn sour or get snotty. But they know where they came from, how they got there and who is there and will be there for them; the fans. Girls where giving them things on stage and Nick was wearing a few t-shirts that where thrown and was singing with a few lingerie that werre also thrown. They had fun and were playful with each other. Especially when Kevin and Nick body slammed and then Kevin came up behind AJ and was head banging to 'Shout'. So much fun, people have alot of fun at their concerts. Though they're the most doubtful muscians because of being catergorized as another Popodessy creation, they won't give up and have made themselves a name.

The tour was absolutely the best because it was small and they could get personal with their fans, as oppose to playing a large venue with thousands of people that you can't see and touch.

30 Mar 2005 | Official News: Album Title; 'Incomplete' Radio Release Date
BackstreetBoys.com (http://www.backstreetboys.com/): It's official, the new Backstreet Boys album has been named "Never Gone." Don't forget to request Incomplete, the first single off of "Never Gone" when it hits radio stations on April 1st.

30 Mar 2005 | For The Record: Quick News On Backstreet Boys

The Backstreet Boys — who launched their comeback tour last week — have stressed that they never really broke up in the first place, just merely took a break. That point is also being made in the title for their forthcoming album, which they've just decided to call Never Gone, also the name of one of the songs on the LP, due in June. [source] (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1499294/20050330/backstreet_boys.jhtml?headlines=true)

30 Mar 2005 | 'Incomplete' Video Concept

A fan met AJ recently and asked him about the concept for the 'Incomplete' music video. It will be directed by Joseph Kahn, the same guy who directed 'Everybody'. AJ doesn't know how everything will work out, but here's what he said:

- Nick is in a burning barn.
- Howie is under a tree and it's raining.
- Kevin is in the forest on a white Baby Grand.
- AJ is driving in a car.
- Brian is standing in the ocean.

31 Mar 2005 | Boys Are a Little Too Backstreet

http://img206.exs.cx/img206/5137/0142ng.jpg

Why were the Backstreet Boys hated so much? Because they were assembled in the '90s with eerily scientific precision by a creepy Svengali? Because they didn't perform their own songs, relying instead on the likes of Swedish pop genius Max Martin (most recently behind "American Idol" winner Kelly Clarkson's comeback anthem "Since U Been Gone")? Because they're barely passable as singers?

Well, OK, that charge sticks. As individual performers, the five Backstreet Boys--Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, Brian Littrell, A.J. McLean and Howie Dorough--would quickly get the boot on "Idol." But like one of those teams of robots that combine to form a bigger, even-more-powerful robot, the quintet somehow surmounted its deficiencies to dominate the globe.

After a nearly five-year hiatus, they dominated again Monday night, albeit on an intentionally modest scale. Processing the fevered response to the group's sold-out test-the-waters club gig at the House of Blues, it's worth noting that as despised as the Backstreet Boys were by some--as the antithesis of rock, as the soulless face of prefab plastic pop--they were adored by millions more. Why? Because at the end of the day, a lot of people just want something they can dance to or hum in the car, and the Backstreet Boys have enough material to fulfill both requests in full.

"We're getting older, but we can still do it," proclaimed Richardson about two-thirds through the 90-minute set. A few other things have changed as well: A couple of the aging Boys now sport wedding rings; Carter's become a tabloid staple (most recently charged with drunken driving); and McLean took time out from the show to celebrate being 2 1/2 years clean and sober.

The music, on the other hand, hadn't changed much, with the likes of "Shape of My Heart," "I'll Never Break Your Heart" and "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely" performed with a proficiency that admittedly robbed them of any sincerity. While the group was clearly enjoying itself, they sometimes seemed a little rusty, too, if not downright sloppy; the peerless (and ever-impenetrable) ballad "I Want it That Way" was marred by giggles and irritating banter. Better were the dance smashes such as "Larger Than Life" and "Backstreet's Back."

Most of the new songs, like two new Max Martin specials "Climbing the Walls" and "I Still," plus "Incomplete," the first single from an upcoming album, fit right in with the group's old material, but maybe too well. In 2005, there's room for a Backstreet Boys reunion, but it remains to be seen whether fans in the here and now will spend money on something that sounds so clearly then.

And like I said don't sweat the haters, they're obviously just nitpicking :rolleyes: The music's great, the fans are having a blast, the Boys are having a blast and that's what matters :D :D And you're right about Nick doing better at interviews, I think that's one of the improvements brought about by his solo adventure :) He had to do interviews and field questions on his own and now he's better able to handle it. See? My "The solo stuff helps BSB the group" theory is proven right again lol!

Ok, here's an awesome review of the Chicago show from my friend Jess @ BSS http://fanforum.com/images/smilies/grin.gif She loves her Nickage, can't blame her lol! http://fanforum.com/images/smilies/lol.gif (P.S. She bolded those parts and all the missing punctuations are actually missing smilies from the copy & paste thing http://fanforum.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)

PART 1
warning: this is LONG!! I'm still typing up my notes, but here's what I got typed so far...a lil teaser for you lol

Well last night I got to see my Boys live!! On their first tour since 2001! I saw them in Sept. at FTLOC and that was amazing, but last night was even better b/c it was their own concert and I was sooooooo freaking close!!! Ok disclaimer, these are my memories in the order I remembered them, not necessarily in the order they happened. lol Also, I could have remembered something wrong, but hopefully not. lol After the concert was over, I went right back to my room and called Lorena, and told her everything and then made my notes, so I might have left something out.

Ok, first off, ****ing awesome!! That’s the only way to describe it!! And I was in heaven because Nick was on my side of the stage for most of the night! Squeeeeee!!!! They sang The Call first and then My Beautiful Woman and then I think Kevin talked about how they were going to be doing old songs along with some brand new songs and he talked about each of their albums and such, and then they started singing More Than That. It’s funny cuz everytime I hear that song now, when it gets to Nick’s part and he sings, “can’t you see it’s now or never...” I always wonder if he’s thinking of his album lol and last night I so thought that and half expected him to say after singing that line, “hey that’s my album” LOL but then again I knew he wouldn’t say that lol. Then they sang Climbing the Walls....omg I so LOVE that song and Nick KICKED ASS on the guitar during that song!!! Eeeeeee I love seeing him play! He totally rocked out!! They closed with Drowning and then Incomplete and ended with Everybody (Backstreet’s Back), which was awesome!! At some point towards the end of the concert, Nick goes, “And the haters can’t stand it, but Backstreet’s back in 2005!” I LOVED that!! Also, everyone always says that Nick is the worst dancer out of all of them (not that he sucks at dancing, just he’s the least coordinated or whatever) but I gotta say that last night, he was AWESOME!!! Especially during Larger Than Life. Oh by the way, in case you didn’t notice there’s gonna be a lot of stuff about Nick b/c yeah he had most of my attention during the concert. lol I can’t help it! I got Nick radar and so when he’s in my vision, my eyes are glued on him! lol Though there were a few times I looked at the others when Nick was in m y sight lol

During The One (oh yeah they sang every song on Chapter One and then My Beautiful Woman, Climbing the Walls, I Still (I freaking LOVE that song!!), Poster Girl, Weird World, Incomplete, and Shout (I so wish they’d record that song b/c I LOVE it!)), Nick like laid down lol. He *might* have fallen, but I’m not sure. I know at one point, I kinda remember him going down to do a crouch and from where I was it looked like he lost his balance, and someone else said he fell and then went spread eagle, and I’m wondering now if that was when I saw him lay down during The One. I got LOTS of Nick tonguage last night too!! He licked his lips a LOT and stuck his tongue out some lol. He also did a LOT of thrusting and swiveling his hips *dies* I was in HEAVEN!!! Nick also did a LOT of like picking on AJ and Brian, so there were TONS of cute AJ and Nick, and Frick and Frack moments! He also picked on Howie and Kev a lil. During I think Incomplete, toward the end, Nick and Howie like touched index fingers lol I think (I missed the beginning of this interaction b/c *gasp* I was watching one of the other guys lmao) they were like both reaching, sticking their index fingers out and like almost touched, and then (this is where I started watching them lol) they like purposefully touched fingers and then Nick like did it again kinda trying to be like on E.T. I think LOL. Oh yeah Nick also did a lot of going to up to Brian or AJ and like looking at them when singing or sharing a mic hehe.

Brian was a total goofball last night! He was sooo adorable! TONS of his cute facial expressions, goofy smiles and giggles During one of the songs they had us sing along to (they had us sing w/them a lot ), we apparently weren’t singing well enough, so Brian started “directing” us lmao like a choir director does. lol It was too cute!

Nick had his lil time to speak before they sang Shout, and he started off in this way lol:
Nick: Chicago
Crowd: major screaming
Nick: Chicago
Crowd: more major screaming lol
Nick: Is that all you guys know how to do when someone says Chicago?
Crowd: more major screaming lol
Nick: Cuz I know if I was from Chicago, I’d be screaming my brains out
And then he like looked at one of the other guys and smiled and kinda giggled lol It was HOT! lol

Nick, AJ, and Brian I believe had the leads on Shout and they did AMAZING on that song! All 5 of them kick butt on that song! They so need to record it!! One of the times Nick did his pelvic thrusts was right after the “bridge” of this song *dies* TOO HOT!

PART 2
When AJ did his lil speech, he talked about Chicago being where Oprah is taped and asked if we saw when he and his mom were on. Then he said how the Boys surprised him on that show and that was when they decided to back in the studio and how it all started in Chicago and then of course he talked about how he’s 2 ½ yrs. sober!!! At the end of his speech he said something like, “Mr. Carter, wanna come sing a song with me” (something to that effect anyway lol) and then he said how they were gonna sing Poster Girl, and Nick was like “Oooh a lil of Poster Girl, huh?” and he like smiled and raised his eyebrows lol Too cute! Then Nick goes to AJ, “one question. What’s with all the holes?” (B/C AJ’s pants had rips all over in them lol) *Nick plays with one of the holes in AJ’s pantleg lol* And everyone screamed and Nick goes, “They seem to like ‘em” and he giggled. He was soooo adorable!! BTW, I never noticed this in the audio of this song I have from the Shanghai concert, but both Nick and AJ sing together on the verses of this song. Like instead of one singing one part and then the other singing the other part, they sing together.

Oh yeah, Kev sings w/Nick and AJ on their parts in the verses of My Beautiful Woman I never noticed that before this concert either. In fact, I seem to remember Kevin doing a lot of blending his voice w/whoever’s doing leads on a few songs Oh and Nick, AJ, and Brian sing I Still (I am in LOVE with that song!) Brian dedicated I Still to all the die-hard BSB fans Nick has all the leads on Weird World and Brian has I think all the leads on Climbing the Walls When Nick sang, Weird World, when he got to the chorus for the first time, he was all, “come on sing along. You know you know the words. You know you got it off the internet” LOL They alluded several times to their fans getting their new stuff off the net lmao. In fact at the end when they were getting ready to sing Incomplete, they talked about how BSB fans had the song d/l’d before it was even released to radio lol. BTW, I think I am one of the few who LOVES Weird World!

When they were getting ready to sing All I Have to Give, they had taken their hats and jackets off, so they put them back on for this song. When Nick was going to put his jacket on, one of the sleeves was like all bunched up inside and he didn’t notice it at first. So he gets one arm in a sleeve and he was all struggling to get his other arm in. lol It was adorable! So he takes the jacket off, looks at the problem sleeve, tries to pull the sleeve out and doesn’t succeed lol, tries again to put the jacket on, struggles some more, takes it off again lol, pulls the sleeve out, and finally succeeds in getting it on lol. Then he like looked at my section of the audience (b/c he was standing by us when he was going through that struggle lol) and like gave us a look asking if his jacket looked ok lol It was ADORABLE lol He like gave us the thumbs up with a facial expression asking if he looked ok lol.

Nick also climbed on the speakers on my side of the stage a couple times lol. The 2nd time he did it was at the end of the concert. And when he went to get off the speakers, he acted like he was gonna jump onto the stage, then he turned back to us and acted like he was gonna jump in the audience and gave us this cute smile and then a giggle. lol I was thinking Nick if you did that, it’d break my back (that’s another story–my back problems I had yesterday lol) but it’d be worth it to catch you lol. Also, some girls in the very front had a sign and they were like all getting Nick’s attention toward the beginning of the show and he was like trying to read the sign and like mouthed “what?” lol Then toward the end of the show, AJ was on my side and he saw a sign in the front (dunno if it was the same one Nick saw or not lol) and I saw AJ mouth the words “Happy Birthday” to someone in the front (AWWWWWW!! Too sweet! Lorena, I forgot to tell ya that last night lol) so apparently it was someone’s bday last night lol.

When Brian was introducing I Still he talked about how it and I believe Climbing the Walls are Max Martin songs No wonder I love them so much!! And then at some point, Kev was talking about Weird World and how they recorded that song w/some guy (forgot his name lol) from Five for Fighting (is that right? lol)

And that's it folks I did sneak a couple pics of Nick when he was on guitar during CTW but they aren't that great b/c they were taken w/my camera phone. I didn't bother trying to take my digi cam b/c I knew HOB didn't allow cameras at all! In fact they were telling ppl before we went in that if they got caught taking pics, they'd be escorted out of the concert.

* Yeah, the haters can shove it! http://fanforum.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

And you're right about Nick doing better at interviews, I think that's one of the improvements brought about by his solo adventure :) He had to do interviews and field questions on his own and now he's better able to handle it. See? My "The solo stuff helps BSB the group" theory is proven right again lol!

he had to learn how to be independent and learn not to rely on mang kevin to answer to him.. hihihih... thats a good thing!! im proud of you nickay!!

• 02 Apr 2005 | Actor Thrives on 'Crazy' Series
The question leaves Heather Petrone stunned, silent and utterly undecided.

Would she rather be Hilary Swank, the Oscar-winning actor, or Sofia Coppola, the Oscar-winning writer-director?

"God," she sighs after a few seconds. "Who does both? Jodie Foster does both. I'm so young; I really want to find what I'm good at and stick to it."

Luckily, Petrone has plenty of time to figure it out. The 25-year-old Tampa native and Brandon High School graduate is producing and acting in My Crazy Life, a new series on cable's E! that re-enacts unusual real-life stories offered up by celebrities like Samuel L. Jackson, Matthew McConaughey and Jim Belushi.

Petrone has parlayed her experience on both sides of the camera into tiny roles in The Aviator and the upcoming Mr. and Mrs. Smith. But it's her E! show that keeps her focused these days.

"Anything that has anything to do with the industry, she's real comfortable with, whether she's in front of the camera or behind it," says her mother, Charlotte Sunderland, who lives in Apollo Beach.

Petrone got her start performing in local commercials and locally produced kids' shows for Channel 38, now a WB affiliate, and Fox. When she moved to Los Angeles, she landed a commercial for Wrangler jeans, but little else. Desperate to get out of her apartment, she scrounged for work as an extra.

Those jobs have paid off. When she showed up on the set of The Aviator, an assistant director noted her resemblance to Vivian Leigh and offered her a more visible role as a "young movie starlet." In Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the director gave her a closeup during a carnival scene with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

Her Florida roots have already boosted her career. As a child, she worked with Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, an Apollo Beach native. Their parents lived down the road from one another.

When My Crazy Life was picked up by E!, Petrone scrambled to find celebrities willing to participate. One day, en route to an audition in L.A., she bumped into Carter, whom she hadn't seen in 12 years, and started rambling about the show.

"He probably thought I was a complete loon," she said. "It was the most bizarre moment of my life, I think."

Carter signed on, and he starred in the series' first episode. Petrone appeared in his story, but she had a larger role in last week's Frankie Muniz episode, and she's taped a starring role as Father of the Bride's Kimberly Williams.

She doesn't plan to stop working behind the scenes, though; she says directing and producing are still in her future.

"There's a side of me that likes to be in control," she said. "But the acting side, it's like, you're not supposed to be in control; you're out of control. I like that, too. It's free-flowing."

Watch it: My Crazy Life airs at 10 p.m. Wednesdays on E! [source] (http://www.sptimes.com/2005/04/01/Brandontimes/Actor_thrives_on__cra.shtml)

• 02 Apr 2005 | They Want It That Way
This is what it felt like on the floor of the 9:30 Club in the moments before the Backstreet Boys made their triumphant return: A deep rumbling noise shook the walls. Blue lights swept the crowd. Cymbals clashed. The smoke machines went into overdrive.

And then it happened: Nick, Kevin, Howie, Brian and A.J. raced onstage in white jackets, white hats and white sneakers. A thousand voices shrieked and a thousand digital cameras were lifted into the air. The Backstreet Boys were back. All right!

This was a revival, a resurrection, a second coming - call it what you will - that had no shortage of believers. In June, the boys will release their first new album in five years. They'll follow it up with a big summer concert tour. But before then, to warm-up, they're playing small clubs like the 9:30 in Washington on Wednesday night.

Once one of the biggest teen sensations since the Monkees - Backstreet sold 30 million records in their day - the boys were sidelined in the early part of this decade by advancing age and facial hair, as well as a few random substance abuse problems.

The music world moved on. Starlets like Britney Spears and Ashlee Simpson dethroned the boy bands, and perhaps the girls who were the boys' biggest fans realized they could take only so much bubble-gum pop from guys who looked like they could be their math teachers.

The return of the Backstreet Boys, then, raises some interesting questions: Will their fans show them the love once again? Can a band succeed on camp value alone? And could any of these guys even get past the first round on American Idol?

"Comebacks are wonderful. Everyone should have two or three," says Jerry Del Colliano, a professor of music industry and recording arts at the University of Southern California. "Their fans will be back, unless their work absolutely stinks."

It doesn't. The boys can still twist, shake and spin and, even on the small 9:30 Club stage, their moves were smooth and well-rehearsed. Their vocals remain pure - at times, they still sound like a boys choir - and the songs are still the nonthreatening, soulful pop that won so many fans in the first place.

A closet fan

One returning fan was Christopher Kerns, a financial editor from Washington. "I'm a closet Backstreet fan," he admitted before Wednesday night's show.

Why a closet fan?

"Because I'm 28."

He added, "There's a certain point at which teen pop is only appropriate for teens."

Kerns correctly identified the three major demographic groups at the show: "Young women, the boyfriends of young women and gay men."

The 9:30 Club crowd seemed equally divided among those three camps, plus a smattering of dutiful fathers who would check their watches every 30 seconds in between hoisting their prepubescent daughters onto their shoulders. These are kids who grew up with the Backstreet Boys.

"I've been a fan my whole life," says Laura O'Brien, and you know she's telling the truth because she's 12 - the exact number of years the Backstreet Boys have been together. Her favorite is Nick Carter, the blond bad boy, who appeared onstage in pinstriped pants and a muscle shirt that showed off his tattoos.

The baby-faced Carter, at 25, is the youngest of the group. Kevin Richardson, at 33, is the oldest and perhaps strangest dancer of all. He does this thing where he swings his arms in front of his body like an elephant's trunk. The others - Howie Dorough, 31; Brian Littrell, 30; and A.J. McLean, 27 - are basically interchangeable.

But how was the music?

Even the most hardened critic can't deny the seductive charms of the Backstreet Boys' biggest hits, from the harmony-laden, sugary sweet ballads to the R&B-tinged dance numbers. And when the boysbroke out the catchiest song in their catalog, "I Want It That Way," even the hipper-than-thou 9:30 Club employees could be seen singing along.

The boys played all the old favorites over the course of a 90-minute set - the tearful "I'll Never Break Your Heart," the hip-hopish "Larger Than Life" and the pop delight "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)," the set-ender that had dozens of fans holding their cell phones out to the stage, transmitting the music to friends who didn't get in.

Would there be an encore?

There would.

The boys played a handful of tolerable if not memorable songs off their new album (the theme of which seems to be how incomplete they are "without you") and thanked their fans for being "God's honest truth, the best in the world."

Howie (at least we think it was Howie) explained the band's comeback to the crowd: "We know it's been a little bit of time since you've seen or heard from us. We took a little bit of a break to pursue individual projects. But it's because of all of you that the family has reunited."

Plus, perhaps, that little thing called money.

After the boys went their separate ways, Nick put out a solo album in 2002 called Now or Never. It was, apparently, the latter; the album sold 236,000 copies, a far cry from the 12.1 million copies of Millennium, the best-selling Backstreet Boys album, that have been sold since its 1999 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Dynamics changed

Of course, that was before the downloading of music on the Internet became a thorn in the side of the music industry. One big unknown with Backstreet's comeback is whether online song trading will help the band sell CDs and gain new fans.

Del Colliano of USC says the Web will benefit the boys, if their music is still good. "They have to come back not only at the level they were at before, but even better, because the dynamics have changed," he says. "And they still appear to be pretty potent as far as entertainment, if you like their schtick."

On Wednesday night in Washington, there were plenty who did. Even when the boys' lyrics were unintelligible, when their vocals were washed out and when their dancing made them look like toy soldiers, their fans still shrieked.

"As long as there are 13-year-old girls, there will be a demand for boy bands," said Kathleen French, 21, of Potomac. She should know. She was a 13-year-old girl once. She loved her Backstreet Boys then and now she thinks she just might be able to love them again.

After the show, traffic was stopped on V Street outside the club and the perfect pop sounds of "I Want It That Way" could be heard from the idling cars. Dozens of fans surrounded the club's back door, waiting for the boys to make their exit.

"It was," Sarah Knight, a 21-year-old from Baltimore, said between drags on a cigarette, "awesome." [source] (http://www.baltimoresun.com/features/lifestyle/bal-to.backstreet02apr02,1,5074201.story?coll=bal-artslife-today&ctrack=1&cset=true)

• 02 Apr 2005 | "Backstreet Boys 2005 Club Tour" Concert Review
I admit it. I dig the occasional boy band. And in the great boy band debate of *NSync versus Backstreet Boys, I've always come down firmly on the side of the Backstreet Boys — their music, their choreography, and their harmonies. They were the ultimate boy band. (Plus, they were cuter.) But with the changing music scene in America and the Backstreet Boys' long absence from recording, I figured I had lost my window of opportunity to see them perform live.

But then came Tuesday night at the Cleveland House of Blues, when, contrary to everything I would have expected, I found myself crammed into a club, surrounded by a swarm of Backstreet Boys fans, watching the Backstreet Boys themselves — A.J. McLean, Brian Littrell, Howie Dorough, Nick Carter, and Kevin Richardson — perform on a small stage.

With no opening band, the show began with "The Call," from the "Black and Blue" album. While this wasn't their biggest hit, "The Call" features an extended dramatic opening which suited the start of the show well. The Boys initialy sported white jackets and fedoras, and within the confines of the club stage they executed precise choreography and belted the lyrics out over the screams of the audience.

For the next hour and forty minutes, the Backstreet Boys set out to woo their fans with as much ardor as they've ever poured into a soulful ballad. Whether loose and clowning or acting in tight synchronization, whether singing old or new songs, whether uptempo or dramatic, the Boys didn't skimp on their performance. After a particularly energetic dance routine during "Larger Than Life," Kevin Richardson remarked wryly that "we're getting older, but we've still got some gas in the tank."

The set included half a dozen new songs, including "Incomplete," the first single off their upcoming "Never Gone" album, but relied heavily on previous hits, such as "As Long As You Love Me," "I'll Be The One," "Quit Playing Games With My Heart," and of course "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)," which they used to close the show.

The biggest flaw of the night was that the acoustics were terrible. I'm not sure whether the blame goes to the venue, the crew, the noise of the crowd, or a combination thereof. However, it was still possible to tell that the group's harmonies have done nothing but improve since they first started performing 12 years ago. Their a capella bridge in "Shape of My Heart" was outstanding, as was their new song, "Climbing the Walls." And, while performers sometimes seem bored or uncomfortable singing old hits, that didn't seem to be the case with the Backstreet Boys. One of my favorite moments was seeing Brian Littrell mouth the closing line of "I Want It That Way" as AJ performed on mike, as though Brian still found the song as irresistable to sing along with as I did.

Will the Backstreet Boys be able to reclaim a place on the music charts? Their new material seemed strong, as best I could tell, varying between old elements (such as input from producer/writer Max Martin on "I Still" and "Climbing the Walls") and new elements (input from Five for Fighting's John Ondrasik on "Weird World" and a rock-rap "Shout"). But they'll have to really deliver on the album to get new fans, and deliver on a new tour — with better acoustics! — to prove they can still be a financial powerhouse.

This tour, though, is for the old fans. It's about telling them that the Backstreet Boys remember — and remember fondly — where they came from. It's about letting the fans have a more personal experience, in a club venue, before the group starts worrying about filling arenas again. And it's about showing their comment that if the fans turn out, Backstreet Boys will deliver. [source] (http://www.the-trades.com/column.php?columnid=3086)

The guys were on Q104 Cleveland this past Thursday for a very interesting interview. One of the high points is the DJ asking about Paris Hilton, Nick was pretty nice but AJ and Kevin were honest, "she's just a marketing machine, that's all she is." Download the full interview at our audios (http://www.not-like-you.com/audios.php) page. Thanks to SueJ @ WDM.

Great reviews! Critical yet open minded, I'm glad they're finally getting it http://tsinoy.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif There will always be prejudiced haters who are gonna hate no matter how awesome the Boys are but it can't be denied that the Boys are the BEST frickin' pop group in the world, even in their absence nobody has filled their shoes and accomplished what they did. They're great vocalists, the most versatile bunch in the game, and they're kickass entertainers! http://tsinoy.com/forum/images/smilies/cool.gif And that's why I'm a devoted fan http://tsinoy.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif

"Backstreet Boys 2005 Club Tour" Concert Review
For the next hour and forty minutes, the Backstreet Boys set out to woo their fans with as much ardor as they've ever poured into a soulful ballad. Whether loose and clowning or acting in tight synchronization, whether singing old or new songs, whether uptempo or dramatic, the Boys didn't skimp on their performance. After a particularly energetic dance routine during "Larger Than Life," Kevin Richardson remarked wryly that "we're getting older, but we've still got some gas in the tank."

This tour, though, is for the old fans. It's about telling them that the Backstreet Boys remember — and remember fondly — where they came from. It's about letting the fans have a more personal experience, in a club venue, before the group starts worrying about filling arenas again. And it's about showing their comment that if the fans turn out, Backstreet Boys will deliver. [source] (http://www.the-trades.com/column.php?columnid=3086)

They Want It That Way
The Backstreet Boys were back. All right!

This was a revival, a resurrection, a second coming - call it what you will - that had no shortage of believers.

"Their fans will be back, unless their work absolutely stinks."

It doesn't. The boys can still twist, shake and spin and, even on the small 9:30 Club stage, their moves were smooth and well-rehearsed. Their vocals remain pure - at times, they still sound like a boys choir - and the songs are still the nonthreatening, soulful pop that won so many fans in the first place.

But how was the music?

Even the most hardened critic can't deny the seductive charms of the Backstreet Boys' biggest hits, from the harmony-laden, sugary sweet ballads to the R&B-tinged dance numbers. And when the boys broke out the catchiest song in their catalog, "I Want It That Way," even the hipper-than-thou 9:30 Club employees could be seen singing along.

After the show, traffic was stopped on V Street outside the club and the perfect pop sounds of "I Want It That Way" could be heard from the idling cars. Dozens of fans surrounded the club's back door, waiting for the boys to make their exit.

"It was," Sarah Knight, a 21-year-old from Baltimore, said between drags on a cigarette, "awesome."

I WANNA SEE THE BOYS IN CONCERT!!! I HOPE THEY COME TO MANILA THIS WORLD TOUR!

Brian: Well I’m here to tell you and all the listeners at Q100 and tell Geller as well that I will pay your fines if you will play the record. *laughing*
DJ: Are you serious?
Brian: Yeah
DJ: I’m only alittle confused because a) I don’t even know hwo much a fine like that costs. I mean from what I understand it can be anything between 10 and 50 thousand dollars.
Brian: Well I don’t care how much it is to be honest with you because I mean for the Q100 listeners, the Backstreet Boys we make music. We are allowed blessings to provide music to the public and the fans now if our fans want music that’s why we make music. We don’t make music for the record label and I’m sorry to tell the label that, but we don’t make records for them, we make records for our fans and if our fans are calling and requesting Incomplete by the Backstreet Boys then I’ll pay your fines its no big deal.

• 05 Apr 2005 | New Backstreet Boys Single - From Jive Records - Released Faster Than Ever Before Using New Digital Technology, Promo Only MPE
- Promo Only MPE Delivers BSB Track to Radio Four Days Ahead of CD; Leading Digital Distribution System Marks 1800 Users Registered to Date

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Promo Only, the music industry's most secure option for digital music delivery, and tech partner Destiny Media Technologies, announced today that Jive Records/Zomba Label Group has delivered, via the Promo Only MPE System, the newest single from The Backstreet Boys forthcoming album "Never Gone" slated for release in June. Promo Only MPE sent the track "Incomplete" through the Internet up to four days before the arrival of the physical CD to radio. Promo Only also announced that it has over 1800 users registered to its proprietary digital delivery system.

"We are thrilled that Jive Records has chosen to take advantage of the enormous benefits of Promo Only MPE to deliver the new Backstreet Boys track," said Dean Ernst, Director of the Promo Only MPE project. "Jive Records, like many other labels that have employed our system, is reaping not only great economic savings, but also the secure and immediate delivery of their content. We look forward to working with additional labels in the near future."

"It was imperative for Jive Records to find a partner that could get this much anticipated single to radio in a safe, cost-efficient and timely manner," said John Strazza, VP Top 40 Radio Promotion, Jive Records/Zomba Label Group. "We chose Promo Only MPE over others because of their outstanding reputation as the premier system for the digital delivery of broadcast-quality tracks to radio. They have greatly exceeded our expectations."

Promo Only MPE is currently in use by such radio groups as Cumulus, Infinity, Cox, Citadel, Radio One, Emmis, Entercom, XM, Sirius, Journal, ABC, DMX, Disney, Univision, Westwood One, Regent, Next Media and a number of other media groups.

RCA Music Group has delivered, via the Promo Only MPE System, 16 tracks to date for artists such as the Dave Matthews Band, Maroon 5, Kelly Clarkson and Velvet Revolver. Universal Music Group (UMG) uses the Promo Only MPE System exclusively to electronically deliver both preview and virtual CD-quality audio files to every US major market radio station. Promo Only MPE has distributed over 300 tracks for UMG by artists such as Will Smith, U2, Mariah Carey, Gwen Stefani, Shania Twain and 50 Cent among many others.

Mediabase, a division of Premiere Radio Networks, has entered into an exclusive partnership to implement the Promo Only MPE System into their service. Clear Channel has been using the Promo Only MPE System since September of 2004 and has authorized its use in all of their US stations.

Promo Only MPE is a highly sophisticated security system, which locks down the distributed content and allows labels to track who is accessing their property. Each song is uniquely encrypted so that only those with the Promo Only MPE software can access it. In addition, an ID code specific to each individual user is applied when a song is requested; meaning that only registered users can access the song and, once installed, the ID cannot be moved to any other computer.

Promo Only MPE is the music industry's most secure option for digital music delivery. Radio stations can request an account for the Promo Only MPE service by filling out the online form at http://promoonlympe.com/registration.html (http://www.promoonlympe.com/registration.html).

• 06 Apr 2005 | Despite Passage of Time, '90s Pop Idols Still Click
The Backstreet Boys might seem like an act that should have been allowed to fade gently into the sunset.

But give the guys credit: Their comeback tour, in which they're hitting relatively small venues in preparation for an album release in early summer, has enough bounce to win converts even among those less than enthusiastic about boy bands.

Those more than enthusiastic about boy bands made up most of the packed audience Monday night at PromoWest Pavilion, where the Boys — mostly pushing 30 — performed a loose and likable 90-minute set.

The overwhelmingly female crowd crooned happily through another full 90 minutes of recorded music before the concert began, singing along with old Madonna and Cyndi Lauper songs and dancing to a medley of numbers from Grease.

When the Backstreet Boys took the stage, greeted by high-pitched screaming that renewed itself every time the first few notes of a familiar melody rang out, they made quite an appearance. Otherwise attired in regulation ragtag rock clothing, the fellows sported white shoes, white coats and white fedoras as they pranced through the dazzling dance moves that made them famous in the late '90s.

Coats and hats were shed and then put on again as the Boys alternated between their trademark snappy movements and more spontaneous numbers. They walked that fine line between parodying their earlier selves and playing the familiar songs straight: They didn't display the artistic rigor mortis that some bands show on the comeback trail, slavishly imitating their previous successes, but they didn't seem tired of their hits, either.

The churlish might complain that songs such as I Want It That Way or Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely are all hook and no substance, but their easy harmonies make them hard to resist and easy to sing along with. The five singers' voices have deepened and no longer sound quite so clear and ethereal, but they still blend nicely.

The singers were backed but not overshadowed by a competent five-piece band, which gave a harder edge to some of the sappier songs. The set included a good sampling of songs from the yet-untitled forthcoming album. Most were pleasant enough but didn't stand out from the mass of songs produced at the point where pop and rock intersect.

On their own, the new songs probably wouldn't win much of an audience, but they might be softly soulful enough to attract listeners predisposed to the Boys’ music. While the songs don’t represent a radical departure, they’re not stuck in boy-band land.

At times, the playful onstage antics grew wearying. Brian Littrell clowned and mugged incessantly, frequently stopping the music to chat up the audience. Nick Carter loped around playing rock star manque. A.J. McLean provided balance by taking his role more seriously.

It’s questionable whether the Backstreet Boys are back for good, but for now they're still kicking. [source] (http://www.dispatch.com/features-story.php?story=dispatch/2005/04/06/20050406-F4-03.html&chck=t) Thanks to misha @ LD.

• 08 Apr 2005 | Billboard Singles Reviews: 'Incomplete'
BACKSTREET BOYS
Incomplete
Producer(s): Dan Muckala
Writer(s): D. Muckala, L. Robbins, J. Cates
Publisher(s): various
Genre: POP
Label/Catalog Number: Jive/Zomba 69166 (CD promo)
Source: Billboard Magazine
Originally Reviewed: April 16, 2005

When one artist commands four songs in the top 10 of The Billboard Hot 100 — here's looking at you, 50 Cent — perhaps there is no better signal that top 40 radio is potentially suffocating listeners with its one-dimensional focus. Poof: Here is an antidote. It's the return of the Backstreet Boys, and with a ballad at that. Pretty nervy, huh? Fortunately, "Incomplete," the quintet's launch single from new album "Never Gone" (due in June), is an emotion-packed, grown-up tome about relationship struggle and strife, something that the Boys' original audience — who are all probably licensed drivers by now — may be able to relate to. Vocally, BSB aim for a more organic edge, though for better or worse, the act sounds an awful lot like Blessid Union of Souls or Bryan Adams here. The time has come for spring cleaning, and this song suits the airwaves like crisp white sheets. — CT [source] (http://www.billboard.com/bb/reviews/single_article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000874380)

Incomplete debuts at #90 on The Billboard Pop 100 for the week of April 16 as "songs with the greatest airplay and/or sales gains this week." That's a good position considering most radio stations in the US aren't even playing the song yet.

If you haven't noticed, I'm keeping track of charts positions here at the site. Just look to your right, below the UC&P Tour info. Things are going well for the guys, they're almost breaking into iTunes Top 10 and radio spins keep going up.

• 10 Apr 2005 | The Backstreet Boys Drop the Top Designers

The Backstreet Boys are all growed up — sartorially, at least. For their first tour in four years, they shucked the matching boy-band look for one with more street cred (and we're using the term loosely). ''A couple years ago they were very Versace and Dolce,'' says stylist Brandy St. John. ''Now we're doing more vintage and obscure designers.'' The Boys feel the clothes reflect a new maturity: ''It fits in with what's been going on with the group,'' says Nick Carter of the band's customized jackets and chic hats. ''We're in a good place now mentally. It's like coming out of the dark.'' [source] (http://www.ew.com/ew/report/0,6115,1044007_7_0_,00.html)

• 11 Apr 2005 | AJ Talks About Nick
AJ was interviewed by Toronto's CHUM FM yesterday and they asked him about Nick. I typed up a transcript for you guys.

DJ: ... How is the group and Nick dealing with the negative media attention that Nick has been getting with his recent DUI arrest and his nasty split with Paris Hilton?

AJ: Well, for one, the Paris Hilton thing was an experience for all of us. (laughs) It wasn't just an experience for him because when she's around everybody's watching. And just like my drugs and alcohol I would compare her to a drug, she's addictive but yet you know, when you get rid of her and you get sober from her your life is much better. She's probably a sweet girl when it comes to being alone with her, but when it comes to her stepping out of her door, she just dragged Nick around through the mud and I think he made a mistake, he did truly care about her but his relationships just don't... I mean, he was just telling me the other day, he's like "man, I could be like the next Dr.Phil about relationships when I finally get married and I look back at all the relationships I've had to endure in the last 12 years".

And then the whole DUI thing, you know, we all make mistakes. Hell, I am so fortunate out of being, you know, I am still an alcoholic I will never lose that title even though I'm sober, I'm not an active alcoholic but I have to constantly remind myself that I am an alcoholic. And, how many times I drove drunk and didn't get a DUI and I'm so fortunate and blessed that I didn't kill someone or myself, you know, the hand of God had to be on me at all times because it's amazing how I got away with it. And, Nick unfortunatelly didn't. I don't know the entire story, and until it officially goes to court, if it's going to, none of us can really talk about it neither can he but, I really think it was kinda wrongfully accused, that's my personal opinion but...

• 11 Apr 2005 | Backstreet Boys Pack New Venue, Thrill Fans

The Boys are back, and so are A-scale concerts at a smaller, theatrical setting, thanks to the grand re-opening Sunday night of the newly named Roberts Orpheum Theater and the sold-out Backstreet Boys concert.

Those with fond memories of the venue - known for decades as the American Theatre - couldn't have asked for a more exciting return than the full house for the Backstreet Boys.

But the screaming young fans who snapped up all tickets weeks before show were likely oblivious to the venue's history and its significance to St. Louis. For them, it was all about Nick Carter, A.J. McLean, Brian Littrell, Kevin Richardson and Howie Dorough being back on the scene.

Backstreet Boys were for a time the biggest thing possible in music. That's no longer the case, but the group shouldn't be counted out. One of the first steps in Backstreet Boys' comeback attempt is its current theater tour, a testing of the waters to see whether the group still has it - and how much. The answer is a good deal, apparently.

The Boys' live show had typically been overblown arena spectacles that pulled out all the stops. They were surrounded by so many trappings, it was impossible to determine who had real talent. But the guys are stripped of all that on this theater trek and are forced to rely on their natural selves in an up-close setting. They had to find fun elsewhere, such as when a couple of the guys ventured out into the crowd to interact with fans - though the chunky Carter's attempt to climb atop a speaker tower failed when it was clear it wouldn't support his weight.

During the 90-minute-plus show, Backstreet Boys appeared perfectly in sync, perhaps too much so at first with their matching white jackets, fedoras and overly synchronized dance moves that remain so corny that husk practically sprouted from their shoes. And necessary evils such as "Shape of My Heart," "Larger Than Life," "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely" and "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart") are the same as they ever were: They don't sound any better a scant few years since they were at the top of the charts.

But there were improvements. For the first time in a long time, it seemed as if the group paid attention to the live vocals, which were questionable before - if, indeed they were even live. Littrell in particular came off the strongest.

Much of the new music previewed Sunday was loads better than their classic material, with an added rock splash to the group's pop sounds on songs such as "Climbing the Walls" (featuring Carter on acoustic guitar), "Weird World" and "Poster Girl." The latter is about an ultimate party girl, and during the song's intro, Carter was asked whether he knew any girls like that - a knowing wink to Carter's ex, Paris Hilton. Only the new single "Incomplete" faltered among the material from the group's upcoming "Never Gone" CD, scheduled for June.

The group showed some real creativity in updating earlier songs such as "As Long as You Love Me" and "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)." The former incorporated the Spinners' "I'll Be Around" as a soulful backdrop. The latter used the Ying Yang Twins' rap hit "Wait (the Whisper Song)." It was a mess, but a truly inspired mess.

Littrell was the night's best performer overall, while Carter might've been the sloppiest. McLean, who announced his continued sobriety, was the best dancer. Richardson looked to be taking it all too seriously, and Dorough remains undefined.

As for the venue, it was mostly all good, but not everything was in order. The risers on the floor seating area weren't installed as scheduled, which meant the rows weren't elevated, creating some troublesome sightlines.

And the temperature seemed saunalike for most of the concert. But the Roberts Orpheum really didn't need that to guarantee a hot night out.

I love Joseph Kahn's description of the Boys and the vid :D
Backstreet Boys Brave The Elements For 'Incomplete' Video
04.11.2005

Effects-free clip portrays matured group's diverging personalities.

The Backstreet Boys brave all the elements in their next video, "Incomplete," from rain and wind to fire and ice. The group shot the clip in Lancaster and Zuma Beach, California, racing from one location to another to take advantage of the fading sunlight.

(See exclusive photos from "Incomplete")

"The whole complaint people have about boy bands is that they're artificial and slick, so I made this purposely dirty and with no safety nets," director Joseph Kahn said. "There's no emulation in the video, which means the look we're going for was contingent on the sun ... a logistical timing nightmare."

In one sunset setup, they only had 15 minutes of light, he said, so the crew lied on the ground so their shadows wouldn't interfere.

Kahn said he wanted to create a real composition, where the images would feel more like iconography and the settings like symbolism. He calls it his "Wim Wenders collection," referring to the famed European director who helmed U2's "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)" as well movies like "Buena Vista Social Club" and "The Million Dollar Hotel."

"The approach was for me to get out of the way of the Backstreet Boys and their audience and simplify the video down to the bare bones so [that it would be] a love letter to their fans," he said. "And the elements are sort of embracing their performance, so it feels like emotions."

Kahn used natural elements, including fire, snow, wind and rain, to symbolize the group's contrasting personalities. He decided that A.J. McLean embodies the band's rock and roll sensibilities, with his "fiery light and Hollywood cool," so he framed McLean by the sun as he drives a classic car down the highway.

Nick Carter is "very volatile at times, beautiful to look at, but dangerous if you get too close," so he is represented by fire. In the video, Carter torches McLean's '68 GTO (the original idea was to torch a barn, but the local fire marshal wouldn't give approval).

Howie Dorough, the "slick guy in the group," according to Kahn, became rain. He sits under an old Joshua tree as a gust of wind picks up and the downpour starts.

Kevin Richardson, "the most mature and reserved" Backstreet Boy, is "colder," so he became snow. He's seated at a white piano in the midst of a smoldering forest as a flurry starts and smoke rises from the ground.

And Brian Littrell, who Kahn describes as "this big ball of energy, you can't stop him," became the crashing waves of the ocean. He stands with his legs in the water as thunderclouds assemble above him.

At the end of the video, the gang reunites to walk through the desert at sunset, framed in a near-silhouette as the sun flares off the lens.

"The boys felt every environment, they really went through that," Kahn said. "It was freezing in the morning: you're wearing parkas, it's bone-chilling. And then by the time the sun [comes] out, you're stripping down to T-shirts, and then it's freezing again, as cold as you can imagine. It's just them performing, with the song stripped down, in an environment to show who they really are."

• 13 Apr 2005 | Look Who's Back

Remember the late '90s? The stock market was soaring, Britney was prancing around in a schoolgirl outfit, and boy bands ruled the buzz. Britney may still bust out the pigtails for K-Fed, but we're guessing the plaid skirt has been confined to the dust bin along with the memories of the halcyon days for boy groups. Who can forget the search magnitude of 98 Degrees, O-Town, *NSYNC, and buzz's personal favorite, Dream Street? Turns out most everyone can, and their days of glory are as faded as that Lance Bass poster hanging over your bed.

But the fact that buzz left boy bands behind isn't proving to be a deterrent to the grandest of them all. Indeed, the Backstreet Boys are back, aw-right. The five-some have reunited and while they're not back in our top 20 searches, buzz on the band is taking off. Searches on the group are up 12% over the last week, and the legendary boy band cracked our top 50 music queries.

Searches on comeback single "Incomplete" are surging, up 53% in the last seven days. Those who want to quit playing games and simply sing along have sent searches on "Backstreet Boys Lyrics" up 11%.

How do the five members stack up in searches? Does Nick's infamous failed relationship with Paris Hilton boost his buzz over the other dudes in the group? Turns out Nick is twice as popular as any other guy in BSB. Here's how they line up in search...

1. Nick Carter
2. Brian Littrell
3. A.J. McLean
4. Kevin Richardson
5. Howie Dorough

Surprisingly, it's not nostalgia bringing the buzz back on Backstreet. A whole new generation of teens is spurring searches on the prefab pop stars. Half of all searches come from the 17-and-under set -- girls who weren't even teens when the group was at its height of popularity. Sure, 30% of searches are from 18-24-year-olds who remember the glory days of BSB, but it looks as if the group might have re-tapped the rich vein of teen interest. Second acts are hard to come by for teen idols, and it'll be interesting to see if getting the band back together wasn't such a bad idea.

• 13 Apr 2005 | Backstreet Boys Never Gone in Stores June 14

• 13 Apr 2005 | Backstreet's 'Never Gone' Due In June

As U.S. pop radio stations begin to embrace the Backstreet Boys single "Incomplete," Jive Records has set June 14 as the release date for the vocal group's fourth studio album, "Never Gone."

The new album features the writing and production talents of Five For Fighting's John Ondrasik, Savage Garden's Darren Hayes, Max Martin (Kelly Clarkson), Billy Mann (Pink, Sting), Dan Muckala (Jump5, the Afters) and John Fields (Switchfoot), as well as John Shanks, who in February won the Grammy award for producer of the year for his work on releases by Sheryl Crow, Clarkson, Hilary Duff and Ashlee Simpson.

The album's title track was co-written by Backstreet member Kevin Richardson as a tribute to his father. The cut was produced by Mark Taylor, whose resume includes work with Britney Spears, Cher, and Celine Dion. He also contributed to "Now or Never," 2002 the Jive solo album released by Backstreet's Nick Carter.

"Incomplete" is off to a strong start in its first week at U.S. radio outlets. The track debuts this week at No. 55 on Billboard's Hot 100, and jumps 90-27 on the Pop 100 thanks to the infusion of digital sales. On Billboard's Hot Digital Songs list, it opens at No. 30.

Prior to that run, expect to see the group on television quite a bit, with performances lined up on NBC's "Today" (June 10), the syndicated "Live With Regis & Kelly (June 14), NBC's "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno (June 16) and "The CBS Early Show" (June 17).

• 14 Apr 2005 | Boys Grow Up: Quintessential Boy Band Has New Sense of Maturity

When one of the members of the Backstreet Boys said, "You're the biggest audience we've had so far on this tour," to the crowd Tuesday at the Nokia Theatre at Grand Prairie, you almost felt sorry for them. There were, after all, only 2,500 people there — a far cry from the last time the boy band came through town four years ago, when they performed to a sold-out crowd of about 17,000 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.

Their Nokia show was much more scaled down. Gone were the extravagant fireworks and eye-candy props of their last tour. What remained, though, was the adoration: Though considerably smaller, the audience — made up of teen-age girls and their families — was just as vocal as those from years ago. They screamed before, during and after songs, flashed handmade signs and often rushed toward the stage, arms flailing.

The Boys themselves — A.J. McLean, Nick Carter, Brian Littrell, Kevin Richardson and Howie Dorough — have considerably changed. They are now married and tattooed, and have survived rehab and Paris Hilton, perhaps giving them a sense of maturity. They danced, but their acrobatic moves were replaced by jazzy, subtle steps, made all the more effective by their outfits: white jackets and white fedoras. The show was fun but tasteful.

Touring to test the waters of new material, they played a half-dozen tracks from their forthcoming effort, Never Gone, due in June. None of the songs — Incomplete, Beautiful Woman, Poster Girl — deviated from the group's strong suit: harmonized vocals, crisp melodies, inoffensive lyrics. But here and there were signs of development: a blues riff cut by one of their five backup-band players, Carter's well-meaning stab at acoustic guitar, sporadic jazz interludes. Nothing too shocking but signs that they are growing restless creatively.

By the same token, they slightly rearranged some of their hits: I Want it That Way was performed considerably slower than its studio counterpart; they stripped Larger Than Life of its bombastic noise, making it more genuine; and Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely came off as wistful, not, as it has before, whiny.

They just may not be done yet.
