In the most recent issue of Newsweek magazine, dated 22 May 2000, there's an article called "The Tiger Beat Goes On" about Hanson. In a little side thing, they have a thing called "Bubble Gum Pop" that asks, "When Will the Flavour Fade? Teen pop idols range from tattooed boys to perky blondes: who will blow up, stick or ultimately burst?" BACKSTREET BOYS Shtik: Grow mustaches 'cuz we can Strategy: We were first, surely they'll remember us Expires On: Almost up NSYNC Shtik: Ironic video about puppetlike image Strategy: Keep dancing so they don't see real strings Expires On: Seemingly nonperishable 98 DEGREES Shtik: Write own songs, wear eyeliner Strategy: Hang on, wait for NSync to slide Expires On: Lost some initial flavour CHRISTINA AGUILERA Shtik: Hits notes only dogs can hear Strategy: Tacky clothes never go out of fashion Expires On: Ready for next round of marketing JESSICA SIMPSON Shtik: Girlfriend of 98 Degrees' Nick Lachey Strategy: Do sappy duet with main squeeze Expires On: No date in sight I think we need to let the people at Newsweek know that that Backstreet Boys' time is definitely NOT "almost up" and that everybody takes some time off after a big album and tour to relax and get things ready for the next album. Besides, people will remember them because they're the BEST of all the groups out there.
