Sorry Guys, No More BSB!
I (Megan) have come to a conclusion. For a few weeks now I have been re evaluateing my love for the BSB. I look around my dorm room and I realize that I have no BSB stuff on the wall, and I haven't listened to their CD in weeks (Not unless you count the BJ song 'Get Down') And I read something today that upset me, and led me to the conclusion that there will be no more positive updates to the BSB section in the future. I still think Nick is hot and I do like I Want It That Way, but I think the remaining members and songs suck ass and I'm tired of trying to think of things positive to update about. If you want to know what set me off read this:
Backstreet Boys Address 'NSYNC's Shadow
Given the familiar ground that they have seemed to share throughout their careers, it is perhaps no surprise that rumors of negative feelings between the Backstreet Boys and 'NSYNC have dogged the Boys for some time.
The Boys have long been rumored to have some negative feelings regarding the encroachment of 'NSYNC on their boy band turf, especially since both bands were created by teen pop guru Louis J. Pearlman and they briefly shared manager Johnny Wright. 'NSYNC even jumped ship to Backstreet's Jive Records in September of last year.
The Boys have remained quiet in the past about any conflict, even during 'NSYNC's recent legal woes with Lou Pearlman (who Backstreet waged their own legal clash with in 1998). However, the Boys addressed the issue with MTV News' John Norris last week and talked about the 'NSYNC shadow that always seems to fall across their own limelight.
"It's more frustrating on the creative side, like, who you choose to write music with, who you choose to work with and produce your record, who you choose to direct your videos," Backstreet's Kevin Richardson told Norris. "I mean, it's like, 'Find your own identity.'"
"If we talk about things and communicate ideas we want to do, we turn on the TV and it would be done, because of the fact that at that moment in time of our careers, we were being represented by the same people," Backstreet's Brian Littrell added. "We remember, at the Billboard Awards in Vegas, that time when Garth [Brooks] flew out and we turned and we said, 'We want to do that,' and then somebody else is doing it."
"We just... we try hard to be different," Backstreet's Nick Carter said. "We try to have a straight path. Then we see something happening, then we try to go the other way, then all of a sudden somebody starts following us, you know what I'm saying?"
While the topic is a bit of a sore subject, the Boys say they try not to dwell on it. "What we want to do is not look at other people," Richardson said. "We want to look forward and onward towards what we want to do, and that's what we've been doing in the past, and we're not worried about anybody else and what they're doing. We're focusing on us."

For now, that focus falls on the Boys' current U.S. tour as well as Wednesday night's Grammy Awards, where the group is up for five Grammy awards, including Album Of The Year, for "Millennium."
MTV News will be on hand at the 42nd Annual Grammy Awards on February 23 providing complete coverage. The action starts on-air next Wednesday at 7 p.m. with MTV News' "Backstage At The Grammys" and continues throughout the night online, where we will be providing coverage and giving you the chance to share your thoughts on the proceedings as well.
On Wednesday, MTV News will also roll out much more from our interview with the Boys during our Grammy pre-show as well as right here at MTV News Online.

This was on MTV.com and it's an interview for MTV NEWS. I hope 'N Sync never turn into pricks like this. 'N Sync was flying way before BSB ever started recording Millennium. They have also never said anything negative about BSB in any interview anywhere. So I can only come to one conclusion, The Backstreet Boys Are BASTARDS.
Now you know I (Molly) have to put in my input. I saw this on TV and my freaking jaw hit the floor. Never, NEVER, have I heard 'N Sync say ANYTHING bad about BSB. Everytime they are asked about it, they either joke about it or say they're good guys. But it seems like everytime I see the BSB on tv in an interview they bitch about 'N Sync and how they copied them. BULL SHIT! Now this little interview done pushed me over the edge. They sit there and act all high and mighty and say "Oh we were going to steal the flying deal from Garth Brooks but 'N Sync stole it first. That frustrates me." Way to make yourselves look like asses, ya retards. And THEN I'm watching the Grammies and Rosie says, "And here are the BSB." Oh gee, this should be entertaining...THEY SING HOW DEEP IS YOUR LOVE!!! HELLO?!?!? If I'm not mistaken, I do believe I've heard 'N Sync sing this at their concerts. Oh yeah, THEY copy??? What about the time y'all turned down a Disney concert and 'N Sync took it and their careers exploded so y'all follow lead and do it too??? And possibly the fact that you knew 'N Sync flew in their show and then y'all started flying out on surfboards?? Hell even AJ copied Chris' dreads. And the ironic thing, we've been getting e-mails from this chick saying 'N Sync (oh my bad, nstink) copies BSB and she went psycho on us (and when I say psycho, i mean INSANE IN THE FRIGGIN MEMBRANE...she said all 'N Sync fans should kill themselves and she she scared my poor little Megan). So needless to say I'm a little peeved at BSB and scared of their fans. And frankly they can....
Suck Justin for all I care. I had a mild respect for them, but now it's gone. If they cross my path, I will seriously hurt them. No 362 lb. bodyguard will be able to hold this bitch back.
Shmucks
