7:59 It actually sucks that US got their first two albums as a compilation. Black & Blue was their 3rd album for the US and 4th for the rest of the globe. The original Backstreet Boys album is my favorite, an R&B collection, their original sound, Brian as the lead singer dominating songs like Beyoncé did in Destiny’s Child. It couldn’t be better.
It sucks their music began to die down. I guess they had to shake the boy band image. They are such a vocally talented group. Glad to see them having a buzz again in 2017. Excited to here a new album
chrispleasantable Brian and AJ are the core. Nick balances the harmonies. Howie backs up Nick with the falsetto while Kevin complements AJ with the bass.
This was right before AJ’s rehab announcement. In 2001, they were the biggest group in the world. Little did the group knew, their super stardom was starting to catch them. 9/11 hit a couple of months later. This video is almost a reminder of the innocence of that era. Sadly, the group lost a roadie in the attacks.
Nicky D chill, I think OP is referring to the death of the boy band craze and the lack of popularity they held as opposed to before until recent years. Idk why fans jump at ppl who are truthful in saying that they lost the popularity they once had after around 2002
@@cranesinthesky1240 backstreet boys never lost popularity there the only boy band still around selling out arenas your wrong they never lost any popularity
So what? T-shirt as a T-shirt, do you have a personal dislike for Brian? Brian Littrell is a good man, a great singer, a cheerful and athletic guy, has had so many problems since childhood and nevertheless remained a kind and cheerful guy, does not lose heart!!! And when the aftographs are distributed to him, it's up to him to decide, and not to the black guard, in Brian's place, this guard should have been sent to fuck!!!
They were on top at the time but i’m not a fan of the songs selection in this mini concert tbh They should’ve replaced Time with Get Another Boyfriend or Everyone for starters.
@@jennysmith589 They started to decline because Brian and Kevin were married already in 2000 at the height of their career. That's not a good move specially they are a boyband.
I m a bsb fan. Their vocals are excellent.But after I saw this today show, I guess we know why the *NSYNC raises at that time.Before this there is another today show performing by *NSYNC in a very close period of time . I have to say it was much better one. You can check it out on UA-cam
AJ sounded so weak here understandably....compared to his better day performances....still he sang so much better than majority of today's singers. Only young male singer comparable to them today is Bruno Mars.
I don't understand why BSB fans try to claim they were stronger vocalists than NSYNC. It's performances like this where you can hear that, while they are good, they definitely aren't stronger than NSYNC. There's a reason why NSYNC went out on top. 👀
@@shargreen9950 again... that's only because Bsb never broke up though and not because they are actually better. I've seen enough performances from both to know which group was stronger vocally, and I'm a fan of both, but its obvious that there's more talent in nsync and that's why I chose them. There's a reason why people in the music industry said nsync were better, and there's a reason why they went out on top. The best groups always break up though - and that's okay. It sucks for the fans, but they wanted to move on to other stuff.
@@shargreen9950 as I mentioned before, I am a fan of both bands, but I chose nsync as my #1 because of the fact that they were more talented vocally. So my decision of which one was better wasn't biased because that's literally how I came to choose my favorite. They are both good though, but when you compare their vocals in accapellas, nsync clearly wins, which again, is why they are my favorite. ✌
@@shargreen9950 I actually am a fan of both... and me acknowledging that nsync was stronger isn't putting bsb down. They are good, just nsync is better. It's not a big deal or something to get upset about. But I guess it's a sore spot for some people though, but I don't really see why it's a problem. Bsb doesn't have to be the best vocalists to still be considered good.
@@shargreen9950 I've already explained that my opinion of which group was better isn't biased, because I formed that opinion before I had a favorite and I've seen many performances of both. You can also go back and see that at no point did I say that bsb wasn't good. I just said nsync was better and you took it like I was saying bsb was no good. Lol that's why I'm glad I didn't delete my comments. Read my initial comment again and you'll see. 😉
You don't even know who that is, and btw, he had to go to rehab due to smoking habits which downgraded his voice, in my opinion, he can sing, you're just a hater
@@blizzardskullgaming4082he went to rehab for drug and alcohol abuse not smoking. And also for help with anxiety and depression. He is still a smoker today.
Crazy during that week.... Kevin saved AJ's life and then AJ checked into rehab.
Backstreet Boys are definitely a MUST for a music biopic after all they went through
AJ was on fire that day. Slayed all his verses!!!! Literal chills!! 🤘
AJ always slays ❤🎉
I don't think they know how awesome they are like perfect ❤❤❤
Black & Blue is by far one of the best albums the Backstreet Boys have ever made!
Who doesn't?
it's my favorite. just the right amount of dark dance songs and lighthearted ballads
It's my favorite album of theirs

new album will be around this year (around this april or may)
In the 3rd grade I wanted to marry Kevin, Brian was my backup though. Now I’m with some guy named Dan. What the fuck guys?!
Grande época dos backstreet boys 1999 2000 e 2001
Nunca les conocí y llevo ventitantos años siguiéndolos que suerte han tenido
Bsb.. b rok forever..
AJ and Nick always play the harmony of every song
Well sometimes they each get to sing lead in fact the primary lead singers of the Backstreet Boys are Brian, AJ, and Nick

I want to hear more from Howie
He,s the bomb! ❤️🌹👍
Yup. And Kevin too.
I love you Nick
This was one of their weaker live performances. It sounded like they were having technical issues with the sound/mics.
WoW I Dont know that Brian habed a Heart surgery in 1998, woow many health problems to him, later voice conditions
I Love You AJ McLean

14:27 Why this guy bought a big gallon of milk!
If I was his teenage daughter, she'll tell her dad who brought a big gallon of milk and says... "Daddy, We're on TV because you're embarrassing me."
Wtf! XD
Don't know if you noticed but this is Today show. just thought i would let you know.
Must have been mislabeled. Sorry!
Wow pre 9/11

new xmas cd coming in oct
Brian, why zebra?
4:51 sweetkaos moment. Come on sweet💕💕💕d u can do it. Chomp away nick's hand 😂😂😂🍗

Hi Nick.. wish u give me free access to everything you do..
The biggest boy band in this world 🌍😮🎉
8:45 Brian being a clown but playing it serious 🤡 lol
AJs voice was a little off here. This was right before he went to rehab though so
Their all off they give terrible effort to sound good
They were having sound/mic issues that day.
Nick
When are you coming to ellensburg for a concert?
Ellensburg washington
Is there a reason they never do fast songs live like NSYNC does? Just asking
Open your eyes in the last days For What is the deal if you gain the whole world but stil lose your own soul. ..Repent!!!💯Wake up💤....
Is it true that mevin and brjan are cousins?
yes, it's true :-)

Performances were badly recorded. At that time AJ was hell on drugs. Went to rehab soon after this.
Is there a point? Technology wasn't what it is now, hence the quality of the recording. 🙄 As for AJ, we all know the history.

Just when we started losing popularity
Nick Carter *NSYNC was dominating when that happen.
Nah they were slowly falling too
Well at the time *NSYNC was getting ready to release their 3rd album "Celebrity"
Aww Nickyy don't say that ! Look now ! You guys are all over the place !
Thats not really True at the time black and blue was the biggest record released. They were on the top of their game.
The back street boy the guy trying to sing with the hat on and sunglasses you can't sing to good my opinion

So was Tori Amos
Such a asshole hater, aren't you?

I'm sorry but my opinion back street boyz none of you can sing
What a hater and an downer. *hmph*
You're so wrong! I'm a rock singer, and I still owe them the "pop skills" and technique... u have no idea about singing!
Whhhaaatttt???!!! Sorry, you're such an cruel douchebag!
