It probably didn't immediately register in people's heads when they witnessed this how iconic this song would be when they performed it live for the first time. Now it seems they're expected to sing this song (as well as "Everybody") at every single concert or the audience will throw a fit.
haha interesting eh ... this would become like the biggets song ever to come out of that era.... and for some reason it aint on my dang karaoke machine cmon now >:(
Went to a backstreet boys show in Chicago in 2013 and concert got shut down for curfew early and they didn't get to play I want it that way and I was a pissed off bsb fan lol
he harmonises so well , i would say he completes each and every song of backstreet he is blessed with wonderful voice and personality still he doesnt get much of the recognition
Those are the five voices that work together the best in pop history! Call me a lunatic but I really think this is no exaggeration! They simply cannot be copied! Those five guys are amazing together!
@@keishajagrl3886 I could not get that data or I was not sure but if that is correct even better confirmation. I am listening to their music right now and they give me goosebumps that is how good their music is!!
Who would have known that this would end up being one of the most popular songs of all time! Still heard in supermarkets and department stores around the world! :)
@@alessioit99363 this person just praised Nick and never mentioned Brian. Go make your own comment about Brian instead of putting someone down to uplift other
I was 8 years old (going on 9 in July) when this song debuted. Wow. I'm so grateful I got to witness the greatest Boy Band in their prime. I remember growing up listening to every CD, excited to see them live in concert for music awards, watching their music videos on MTV. Doesn't matter which song of their's I hear, it takes me back to simpler times.
No.1 hit for all time!!Millenium album the best!!!!!!!And all this 30 years Brian is my favourite..forever an angel with angel voice,no matter what!!Love your Brian!!!!❤❤❤❤
They had it in their first appearance ... and they still have it to this day. Their worldwide tours still are SRO. My favorite music comes from The Beatles, all of Motown, and these Backstreet Boys. I'm 76, and have been rockin' since 1958 !
I was 12 when this song came out, I remember taping every appearance (we didn't have youtube back then) and writing down the lyrics so I would memorize them. I grew up with them and still love them to death
I remember listening to BSB when I was shopping at the mall, and getting driven home at night. These guys made me feel serenity and deep, genuine love for their music, even right when i first heard it. These guys are inspiration and I am so glad to have grown up with them
This is the first time they marked the world with "I want it that way"? Now 14yrs have passed... and everyone most likely still knows this song. Truly wonderful! :)) I was only 7 when this happened. XD KTBSPA!
***** I used to feel like you, because Boyz II Men (1st Backstreet´s influence) became my favorite band about 2000/2001 (the Backstreet and Nsync was kinda like 1D/The Wanted at that time). Then i became a dance teacher/singer/dancer/actor/performer in my country and i was kinda hating BSB to not became what i thought they would be when i became a grown man. But tonight i just decided not care about it and I accepted the Backstreet as my godfather in music again.LOL! I have nothing aginst 1D btw. They´re not my favorite band but i hope to see some new talents coming up from that group. #keepthebackstreetpridealive (this was an old tag. lol!)
@Flopi The Sweet Dreamer omg same when I say to my friend omg i love nick Carter she is like whattt and she hates his hair🤣🤣🤣his hair looks so beautiful 😍😍😍😍😍😍
I was born 97 but I grew up listening to them though cause of my aunt who had this CD and also my grandmother who only played one station on her stereo all the time and I remember this from when I was 3 or 4
I just can't believe that next month it will be exactly 24 years from the time these guys released the smash hit titled "I want it that way." Time has really flipped. The BSB is simply amazing. Every member with his unique voice. Kevin thank you very much for always being there for your brothers when they need your assistance. Nick you are simply amazing! Brian you have a very lethal voice. AJ you deserve all the flowers. Howie you are my man and deserve all the respect! Long live BSB. In the near future ponder on visiting Zambia- the land of the free 🇿🇲
I remember seeing this on TRL. Iconic moment. I was 8 years old in the summer of 99 and it was a great time to be a kid. Honestly they sound better live on this than they did on the album. Trufax
This week marks the 25th anniversary of these Max Martin Millennium tracks beginning recording work, once Brian Littrell arrived at his studios in Stockholm on November 2, 1998 and the rest of the group on November 3, 1998. After they left November 16th to Chicago to tape Oprah, this song and nearly half of the album, had been recorded with Max in just 2 weeks. Crazy how fast a quarter century rolls by.
This sounds SO much better with Kevin!! SO GLAD he's back in the group. You don't realize how much he added to the harmonize till he isn't there to add it.
One plus (for lack of a better word) of the crowd not yet knowing the words is that we can hear each BSB's vox clear as day...it's amazing how genuinely talented each one is and how spot on the performance is compared to the studio version...such a good band also it's surreal af that we get this glimpse into a world where people *didn't* know the words to this iconic masterpiece
@@Jettnround It's insane how time flies. I remember the first time I heard this song, I was 15 yrs old. I'm about to turn 37. 😜😳 #BSBFANFOREVER #loyalfan97 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
awww look at nick he was so young!! something about this makes me believe this was the first time them singing this.maybe because no one is singing the hell out of it on here lol
Wow this version is the best live IWITW version that is so similar to their CD version....with Nick's perfect "dont wanna hear u" also!!! KTBSPA:):):):):):)
The angelic voice of Brian's is forever saved on the internet. Thank God!
Wish I could turn back time to the 90s again...
Impossible as it may seem, but I wish I coul-oul-ould so-o bad. Baby-y-y

Nick sounds beautiful and looks gorgeous. Really, what a precious face he has! I love them all, but I adore him. 💚
Equivalent of young Brittney Spears, yes
Can we talk about Howie, please? He deserves much more recognition
He's my fave from #BSB.
why is he most underrated?? he harmonizes so well
+natasha pavel i would like to know why, in my opinion he's the best 🙈

How do people know their names?
no faking there. these guys could really sing.
Yup. No doubt about that
yes...all of them not one or two 😚😚😚
can... sing...
Sang this to a girl I worked with and stole her from her boyfriend....I am your fire.....Yes we can go out. Never had to get to the next sentence.
Old post* But all I gotta say is, OF COURSE...they wouldn't be professional singers otherwise.....
The best and best selling boy band of all time, live and studio were the same sound.
Jensen Castro and the Beatles
Meghan Keith Beatles aren’t really considered a boy band now in our sense of the word. They are just a band.
No BTS is best
John Clark hell no
@@johnclark3108 bts are not in their level
Just came here to listen Brian's old voice. I wish to get your voice back !!
He has is voice back
@@nailitdown219 no :(
2:22 😍😍❤️😭 Nick's voice is so powerful and he sings like he is feeling this pain😍
BSB music has the endearing sound and feel that most people can listen too for many generations to come!

First time they song this? What a special/historic moment.. Soon everyone would know the words.
absolutely true, this song circled the world many times!
til this day it still does, a lot of people has made a cover of it even 1D we it was more like a request for them to cover.
True. My little brother is 10 and he can't get enough of this song. He literally only listens to backstreet boys nowadays
Nick .... I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, he is the best singer , he is so perfect
This really was their best performance, every thing seems bang on
Brian is soo amazing. Wow.

Nick Carter's Hair!!👍👍👍👍👍👍
He definitely had one of the most iconic hairs in the 90s.
Ich finde alle 5 so cool @@wrbk19
They all have great harmony!!
Such beautiful harmony...While maintaining such individual voices among each man...SO MARVELOUS!
I'll take singing over swag any day. I love this band to pieces and am so happy that I got to grow up listening to them.
And this is how it all started
Oh my goodness! Such a gem! Definitely copied here from a VHS- can even see the tracking marks! lol Thank you SO much for sharing this treat with us!
Iba tlaga Ang backstreet boys ❤
Probably their best version. My go to Karaoke song for sure haha
Nick i love you!"!!Im 14 and Directioner but BSB is a very fantastic!!!!I love Backstreet Boys and One Direction!!!!

How do you know?
The harmony at 1:20/ was awesome

This song was the biggest song on Earth for a year or two, they made their mark.
This song is a pop icon around the world. It's legacy in music history is secured.
Was not lucky to grow up hearing them but later got to know about them started googling every one of their videos and songs.
felt a little nostalgic today...I think this show cases all of their voices so well
BSB can Really sing each and every one of them have Outstanding Vocals and that’s what makes them this Outstanding Group ❤❤❤❤
nick the best high notes ..
nick was so cute so was brian was so in love with them back then i miss those days if only i could go back in time
This sounds SO much better with Kevin!! SO GLAD he's back in the group. You don't realize how much he added to the harmonize till he isn't there to add it.
