[edit] It's a lie

It's a lie Backstreet boys don't dance anymore, they keep on dancing in the uptempo classic songs in the concerts, and they do aswell in the funkish new songs like Beautiful woman. Boyband = vocal-harmonic male group ok??? And it's supported for a label, and manager who wanted to create a group of kids too. It doesn't matter in any song any of them play someting. And about his past music genre I have talked below.

[edit] I'm so fed up of you, it's time to know the truth, look for a band in the wikipedia, it is irrlevant the Iron Maiden drummer plays de flute at home

[edit] Pompertown, read that, let's get serious

This is the truth

Brian Littrell (Lead vocals and background vocals)
- A.J. McLean (Lead vocals and background vocals)
- Nick Carter (Lead and background vocals, sometimes plays Guitar)
- Howie Dorough (Background vocals - usually the high pitch voice, and sometimes lead vocals) +

past_members =Kevin Richardson (Background vocals -usually the bass voice, sometimes lead vocals and sometimes plays Piano) (1993-2006)

Howie and AJ bass guitar?? since when?? I'm a BSB fan and I have seen them performing in concerts, BSB don't play instruments except I have said above. Nick guitar sometimes (only 2 songs), drums??? do you mean to say 1 song in 10 years??? please let's get serious, Brian in his solo concerts, Howie and AJ bass guitar...at their home,

[edit] Something about BSB

I'm a BSB fan, but I'm objective I don't think necessary to say Brian plays guitar in the line up, cuz he still never haven't played in the BSB concerts. He have learned to play kinda the guitar recently and he have performanced with it just in his solo tour "Welcome Home" in the US Backstreet Boys ALWAYS HAVE BEEN AND WILL BE A VOCAL MALE GROUP. Sometimes Kevin have played piano in any song, sometimes Nick have played the acoustic or electric guitar (above all in the last tour), and drums...but that were years ago in a song. Other thing, I would put in the Nick Carter bio he knows play guitar, drums, etc. Not in the line-up. AJ can play bass guitar at home but not in the BSB performances.

Music genre...I have put "Organic Pop" since "Never Gone". The instrumentation (played by others) now is organic, live drums, live guitars, live bass...strings, etc. Before, they used to sing more over samplers, keyboards, synthetizers, electric drum beats...although there were guitars in the ballads, and real instruments too. "Never gone" can be considered a Organic Vocal Pop album, and it has Pop Rock songs, not for that that's Coldplay cuz they are Indie Pop/Rock Brit Music. The next BSB album is gonna follow with the Never Gone sound but there will be more Europop and R&B like in the beginning.

The previous sound of the group (Backstreet Boys-Black & Blue) were Pop, but we have to be more specific. BSB are a Pop band but a R&B-Pop one. Teen Pop could be considered so, it's a sound Urban Pop. I would put Urban Pop.Keep on eyes on this: BSB have harmonic R&B influences. They are really influenced by Boyz II Men, their mainly one. BSB aren't A1, not Westlife, not A-Teens, not Euro-Pop-dance and islands melodic Pop, they have recorded R&B songs, like "I'll never break your heart", "All I have to give", "Set adrift on memory bliss (R&B cover), "Just to be close, "Yes, I will", "No one else come close", "Like a child"...all of they Motown songs.

The line up I would say: Lead singers: Brian, AJ and Nick

Background singers: (sometimes they take the lead vocals) -Howie and Kevin. Kevin usually sings bass vocals and Howie falsetto vocals


[edit] BSB

I didn't take out the 'rock' part, somebody in passing did. They aren't rock on any level whatsoever, I just left that part there so we wouldn't have an edit war. Personally, I think we should poll some people on music pages. --69.145.123.171 18:10, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and making a threat in edit summaries, albeit a mild one, is never a good idea. --69.145.123.171 18:10, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Dude, they're the Backstreet Boys! I don't like them. They are not rock. They will never be rock. Ever. --69.145.123.171 20:17, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Genres

Flipping through your contributions, I notice I'm not the only one who's had arguments with you before. The BSB and all their solo careers are not rock, alternative, nor any other genre like that. They are pop. Always have been, always will be. You can't say that they are 'alternative' and whatnot and expect people to believe you. I know a ton about genres. --69.145.123.171 20:25, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Okay

I checked All Music Guide, and it says that they are Pop rock, which is what I had until somebody else changed it. The are not pop/rock, they are pop rock. That's as far as I'm willing to go with it. 69.145.123.171 Hello! Tuesday, July 4, 2006, 21:24 (UTC)

[edit] Alternative

Alternative consists of bands like REM, Foo Fighters, and matchbox twenty. It is not a singer from a boyband. 69.145.123.171 Hello! Wednesday, July 5, 2006, 07:00 (UTC)

Alright, here it is: AMG's idea of what his genre is. They say Christain, so that will stay, but the other genre is adult contemporary, which, unfortunately, is a radio format. It doesn't say alternative. 69.145.123.171 Hello! Wednesday, July 5, 2006, 07:04 (UTC)

[edit] BSB

You need to lay off the POV. The are pop, and it should say that. You're constantly complaining that people list the genres they were years ago, but they're supposed to! The genres they had years ago were their genres at some point or another, so it should be included in the article! And yes, they are a boy band, because they were years ago and are today! You act like they're the greatest band ever to walk the Earth! They're not! Get over them!--172.192.226.47 21:13, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Also, just because they're pop rock is no reason to replace the picture and several other bands with them, as you did here.--172.192.226.47 21:16, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
This is crap. So what if they're pop rock now? They were teen pop and bubblegum pop and a boyband five years ago! And that should be in the article! --172.192.226.47 21:30, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
And yet, you reverted it again. THEY ARE A BOYBAND. GET OVER IT.--172.197.162.208 04:37, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] BSB Cont

Please stop reverting Backstreet Boys to "Pop Rock". As 172.197.162.208 says, their older stuff was definitely teen pop/boyband, and the article should reflect this. I am pleased to see you have accepted "successful" as pov, but please stop reverting their genre. Thanks. +Fin - 13:15, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Please do not consistently ignore these messages I've left you. Please explain your reasoning behind these constant reverts. +Fin - 21:38, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This is the last time

I'm going to warn you. If you don't get off your BSB high horse, I will take further action and you will be held responsible. They are a boyband. No one else agrees with you in that they are not, and if you don't explain yourself and start being civil, you will regret it. --172.190.53.126 02:33, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talk page blanking

Please do not blank your talk page. The it is rude, and the removal of warnings, such of those by myself, 172.190.53.126 and 69.145.123.171, is considered vandalism. Thanks. +Fin - 19:31, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Boyband as a genre

Hi. The boyband article implicitly states that it's a genre: Maurice Starr is usually credited with starting the trend...Starr's idea was to take the traditional template from the R&B genre...and apply it to a pop genre. This formula was in turn redefined by a number of European managers such as Nigel Martin-Smith and Louis Walsh, until the UK pop marketplace was saturated with the genre. And then, halfway down the page "Success in the genre". And, at the end of the introduction In the 1990s, boy bands such as the Backstreet Boys sometimes found the term "boy band" offensive and insisted on being called a "male vocal group". Please point me in the direction of your definition of boyband that does not include the word genre. Thanks! +Fin - 15:32, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Can you please stop reverting, and have a civil discussion about this? You seem to be the only one who continuously removes boyband from the page. At least one other user, aswell as myself, has placed it on the page. While I am not claiming a consensus or majority, it at least deserves a discussion. I would contest that boybands produce a very particular type of songs, and therefore, have a particular niche or genre. Can you explain your aversion to the term boyband as a genre? Please? +Fin - 18:33, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Thankyou! Nice work on the new times for the different genres. As thanks for finally explaining your position, I think we'll just leave it at teen pop. Though I would happily change all late nineties "male vocal group"s to boyband, I don't have the time. I did add it to 'N sync, though. The Beatles and the Eagles played their own instruments, so the term wouldn't apply there. I've always considered the beach boys a boyband though. Anyhow, thanks again. +Fin - 21:28, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Oh, and teen pop isn't the same boyband. Girl groups would be included in teen pop also, as would someone like Avril Lavigne. +Fin - 21:30, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Ok, Avril Lavigne isn't teen pop, but you get what I mean. Like Steps and S Club 7. They'd been teen pop but they're not boyband or girl group. I'll stop now. +Fin - 21:31, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm not saying they're a boyband now, I'm saying they definitely were in the past. That's that anyway. +Fin - 22:24, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Backstreet Boys infobox

I noticed you changed the {{Infobox musical artist}} back to {{Infobox band}}. As you'll see at Template:Infobox band, the band infobox "is superseded by {{Infobox musical artist}}, which should be used in all instances to replace this template". —ShadowHalo 17:33, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
