Who else never cared about the manufactured drama between artists and just liked everyone you felt was talented?
Me!
Me. Still that way, the only way I hear about is thru honest cause I love his channel lol
Not me lol I love drama
@@milacolman Mood tho
Me!
Can we also talk about how fifth Harmony and Little Mix were pitted against eachother even tho they literally had NO problem with eachother 😭
Oh yes🥺🙄. Love both bands 💕
Toxic fanbases, they’re everywhere and they’ll never go away
YES! Even the interview of them meeting - the producers definitely wanted them to fight but they were literally just alright
not by the industry tho the fans did that.
Simon Cowell everybody 😂
When you listen back to artists produced by Cheiron like NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears etc you realise how interchangeable the songs are. Any of those acts could have recorded those songs and they would fit their catalogue at the time.
Yeah Britney’s first two albums are fun and enjoyable but generic for the times.
They had different images and sounds. They werent interchangeable which is what made for a good rivalry
I beg to differ, an NSYNC song sounds completely different to me than a Backstreet Boys song. Their formula is a bit different from each other but I see what you mean
@@Skedadlee both band's major hits are written by the same guy who wrote Britney's music, Max Martin
@@Skedadlee backstreet was much better at slow and mid temp and n sync Excel at faster songs.
Like can we take a moment to realize how BSB never broke up and still going strong and performing after over 25 years of their debut.
Unlike *NSYNC all of the members in BSB have solo singing
30
Well Kevin left the group for a while… Plenty of musical groups are still together, just as plenty of other groups no longer perform together. It’s not a rare thing.
@@CrisOnTheInternet and unlike *NSYNC none of the members of BSB’s solo career never reached the massive status of Justin Timberlake’s🤷🏻♂️
@@ssshar2176 yeah and what is Justin doing now? BSB is touring right now in 2022. yes many groups are still together, but never boybands. BSB's bond and chemistry is very rare and unique and stands the test of time for a boyband.
To get off topic, can we give Boys to Men their flowers. They were the most successful male group in the 90s and Billboard crowned them #4 most successful music act of the 90s decade outranking Backstreet Boys and NSYNC. Additionally Boys to Men were the world's greatest selling male group of all time at one point. Plus Boys To Men is still the #1 most successful male group on The Billboard Hot charts since 1990 outcharting Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, One Direction and BTS. Yet Pop Culture stills overrate every male group over Boys To Men 😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑 Oh and to know how competitive the 90s were (#1 Mariah Carey, #2 Janet Jackson, #3 Whitney Houston, #4 Boys To Men, #5 Celine Dion, #6 Madonna, #7 TLC, #8 Toni Braxton, #9 Garth Brooks, #10 Michael Bolton). Michael Jackson, Brandy, Britney Spears, Shawnia Twain, Alanis Morrisette, Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, And Spice Girls didn't even reach the top 10 and they too had blockbuster success in the 90s.
The fact that we don’t talk more about how B2M basically made boy groups more popular in the music industry…..
when you hear the ballads from bsb's debut era, they're like carbon copies of b2m's hits
I think it’s the fact the b2m don’t have much cultural relevance, the weren’t really Part of a movement. The best way i can describe it is any other r&b act could’ve sang those songs and it have the same result, likewise b2m didn’t have the global reach these teen boy bands did, I’m from Ireland our music runs hand in hand with the uk and most of Europe and I can tell you wayyyyyy more people can recognise and name the teen boy bands and their songs over b2m, obvi they were v successfull, they just didn’t make a big impact to last in pop culture. Realistically if your not a dedicated fan could u even name any of the members?
For a second I read Micheal instead of Janet and almost shit myself
@@deadchannel5811 I think we should give the boy band originally to New Edition
J.C is the best singer in NSYNC. Even Justin admitted this in a radio interview years ago.
He's always said JC was the better singer.
He really was. 👍🏻
Exactly!! And yet Justin is more popular??
@@alysssabear I think it's because he's more marketable. There's a 2 part video on why J.C's solo album didn't do well.
@@mutantx2372 Link pls (also JC still deserves better)
I would love to know how chaotic their fandoms would've been if today's social media was around at the time. (Yes, I know the internet was just beginning it's boom during the 90s and early 00s but it was still new). It's no secret how political these two bands were amongst their fandoms. If you were around during the time and enjoyed the genre, you *had* to chose just one band and ride with them. It was almost impossible to like both (which is funny to think about). My mom was a total NSYNC girl (she loved Chris specifically), and despite liking Backstreet Boys her loyalty rode with NSYNC. It makes us laugh whenever we talk about it. There was also another time on MTV'S Total Request Live where Carson Daly had two teams (Backstreet Boys fans vs NSYNC fans) compete against each other. When the NSYNC team won, a girl from the Backstreet Boys team threatened Carson Daly AND the NSYNC team because she was upset her team had lost. These bands were HUGE and would close down literal streets due to the amount of fans showing up to support them (Just like MTV's Total Request Live had a special to promote Millennium and fans flooded the streets of New York). Fans would despise the girls the boys would date (including Britney Spears when she opened up for NSYNC. She had a cupcake thrown at her and was boo'ed. This was when Baby One More Time was released as a single). My mom also remembered how fans got so upset when Justin shaved off his hair too! I think it's interesting to see how "stans" were just as chaotic then as it is today, but imagine how much bigger it would've been if today's technology was around for that era.
Aw jeez, it doesn't bear thinking about 😒💯
*facts*
I never really thought of the BSB vs *NSYNC feud as being manufactured but now it all makes perfect sense. It’s yet another example of how absolutely gross the music industry is lol.
Thank Lou Perlman
I didn't really experience this "feud" because here in Canada, especially Quebec, BSB were much, MUCH bigger than Nsync. We embraced them long before the US did. And I was a BSB girl myself, but I still listened to Nsync. Having to pick sides is just stupid.
Fellow québécoise, totalement d'accord, haha!
Not all of Canada, here in Toronto *NSYNC were a lot bigger than they were in Quebec, here *NSYNC were almost as big as the Beatles
BSB were wayyyyy wayyyyyy more popular than NSYNC internationally in general. The feud was really only white hot here in the states
@@jamilahs4945 It's true, the BSB were a lot more popular than NSYNC in Latin America
In Germany BSB has always been way bigger as well. They first started off in Germany, so they have been around for way longer than in North America. Also, I just saw them live 2 days ago playing to 12000 enthusiastic fans and it just hit me how popular they still are to this day. Obviously, BSB has never split up. Unlinke Nsync, so hard to predict if they would be doing the same in case they hadn't.
I love how they’ve realized Lou was the problem and now they’re all cool! A Backstreet/*NSYNC tour would solve world peace.
Being the 90s/00s girl that I am, I see NSYNC or BSB and CLICKED!
They should have compromised and formed the "Back Sync Boys".
Look up BackSync it's real lol
😂 imagine
They did that a few months ago.
JC is the only reason why I listen to *NSYNC but Backstreet Boys definitely has music that aged better and I still enjoy more.
same. I hate it that JC didn't get as famous as JT for solo career
@ MiMi The BSB guys always seem so humble and real. No offense to Justin Timberlake……I like him and all, I’m happy for his success. But he clearly let fame get to his head after becoming for successful than his fellow members. And the fact the he refuses to join them for a NSYNC comeback is disheartening!
This was a time to be alive 😤
Wasn't it?
Anytime ur young is, really. Lol. I feel u tho. 👍🏾
I remember being one of the uncool kids of times because I still chose BSB over *NSYNC when *NSYNC rose to popularity in the early 2000s😂
Same, I was still obsessed with BSB when everyone else my age loved N*sync. I consider Millennium to be among the best pop albums of all time, in terms of the music itself. One of those albums with no skips.
I was a fan of both.... Lol😅😅😅😅😅
Just liked some somgs from both and couldn't care less about the bands themselves
Really, I’m my 4th and 5th grade class, it seemed like Backstreet Boys were more popular amongst most of my peers. (I’m also a Backstreet girl just like you). I’ve also heard few of my friends diss NSYNC a few times. (Which I never did as I liked their music too).
@@PrincessWhatsername no skips my ass, backstreet’s millennium album was just singles and filler and the bulk of the albums tracks couldn’t hold a candle compared to the singles
Both groups were good, but if I had to pick one to sing at my daughters wedding one it'll be BSB, why? they have that R&B vibe and style.
Yes I will off the black & blue album.
@@antoiner3820 saw them in concert damn
R&B? They were strictly pop and Euro dance during their peak
@@eguyatt6813no they were pop and r&b :)
@@shargreen9950 you obviously don’t know what R&B is
🗣🗣🗣 “Tell my whyyyyy”
Man, when I was a kid you could lose friends over which group you liked better 😂 I was (still am) a HUGE fan of BSB. I had all of their posters all over my walls and even felt personally attacked when someone said they were an Nysync fan 😂😂😂 Now I am both an Nysync and BSB fan bc they both got bops!
I’d look at NSYNC fans like they were bad people who liked to drown kittens 😆
I was team BSB, they are and have always been my #1 fave! But NSYNC has good music too.
Imagine the privilege to afford multiple copies of a CD just to help your fave win a feud in the 00s...like CDs were expensive back in the day, I can't imagine having that kind of money to just throw away lmao (I'm sure some/most people gave copies away as gifts etc, but still).
Oh you dont know abt kpop albums,do you? 😂
@@edgyspiderguy739 i mean, I'm sure that's a thing people do today, kpop stans are a whole other breed lmao. In the 90s and early 00s, though, I can't say. I was a kid and internet was for rich families, YT didn't exist yet so I was entirely unaware of any pop not being played on US radio stations. Also, $20-$30 for a CD was technically more expensive than it is now if you look at the value of a dollar at the time.
sounds like kpop fans haha
They really weren’t that expensive, I myself bought 4 copies of the no strings attached cd
@@eguyatt6813 not that expensive if your parents had money lmao
Nsync was bigger than BSB in the US but BSB was wayyy much bigger than Nsync in the rest of the world, like their album black & blue sold 5 million in its first week alone, but both boy bands were definitely talented.
I was going to comment on Black & Blue. BSB sold over 130M albums worldwide and I'd argue that NSync had more popularity at the tail end of the boy band wave but that is because BSB took a break. NSync sold very well of course but they never quite reached the same level as BSB--they definitely seemed more popular in the states though. BSB still tours as a group. I like both groups but BSB was first and had a much harder way to go legally they had to pay out a lot of money whereas NSync did not have to pay as much because their true success came after they left Lou! BSB had popularity overseas in Europe before they were known in the US also.
i would say that nsync was bigger in the us when bsb took their short hiatus, because bsb’s millennium tour broke records the year before so technically bsb was bigger in the us haha. i could be wrong but that’s what i know! and hell yeah both bands were talented as fuck.
Not the quiet shady competitiveness in these comments lmaooo
Backstreet boys is the biggest selling boy group for a reason. They were bigger than nsync
Actually black and blue sold 1.5 million in the first week**
If NSYNC ever did a reunion tour I would honestly pass out💀 Too bad that it's probably never going to happen, JC doesn't wanna do it😭😭😭
Id rob a bank to make sure i attend as many concerts as i could bc i know theyd probably only do one tour and i haven't ever been since i was a small kid when they were famous. It's only as i hit my 20s that i realized they are amazing and JC is so cute!! But yeah, JT clearly is the one from preventing it to happen
@@ifyouwantoreplyjustclickth5063It's actually JC. On Lance's podcast in 2020 he asked each member how they felt about a reunion tour and everyone besides JC was open to the idea. Even Justin said he was open to it! But JC sounded really offput by it. I think he's enjoys having a quiet life out of the limelight, he's already doing what he wants to be doing (producing and song writing), and he's probably overthinking that he's passed his prime and can't do what he used to do 20 years ago, but who knows? 🤷🏽♀️ If it's not one member who doesn't want to do a reunion tour, it's another one lol
@@Skedadlee ugh! I know jc is very private and i respect it but man i still wish!!
Both Boybands are really great but the Backstreet Boys are forever my favs.
I agree same here. Forever a Backstreet girl 🥰
BSB forever. 💙
My mom watched this 90s early 2000s fights, and she always tells me how she loved it and it was fun.
What you said about Spice Girls was true in regards to the US. Nevertheless in the UK and somewhat internationally All Saints have giving them a serious run for their money on the charts. They were the anti-glittery, manufactured group. They were like the P!nk to Britney Spears. However they’re music was still mainstream pop. Just with more edge.
I was gonna comment this as well.
Or Avril to Britney
Yep. People felt they were more 'real' if they liked All Saints.
I agree, All Saints was a pop group with substance. Especially when they worked with William Orbit. Listen to Black Coffee for an example of their collaboration.
@@m3rl1n4 I wish they had done much more collaboration Black coffee and Pure Shores are definitely great examples!!!! That's why they were number one UK hits lol. He was a techno dance machine during the late 90s and early 2000s thanks for his work on Madonna's Ray Of Light album n Beautiful Stranger. He definitely should've done more with All Saints 🥺
I love both NSYNC and Backstreet Boys (BSB). But I realize because BSB had more hit songs and albums. BSB is a bigger boy band. Plus, BSB are the biggest selling boy band of all time. Though they are tied with NSYNC with 8 Grammy nominations. By the way, seeing how BSB had a #1 album (2019 DNA album), 2 huge tours (Vegas Residency and their DNA World Tour) and a recent Grammy nomination in 2019...still proves how people love BSB till this day. But I do wish NSYNC would release one more album and do a tour.
Honestly if you paid attention, there’s not really much that bsb has accomplished that *NSYNC hasn’t, everything bsb is doing now both artistically and commercially is generally quite mediocre, if *NSYNC got back together now they would be 10 times as popular.
Nobody wants that nsync tour anymore lmao
would love a video on Maurice Starr, the man who created New Edition and the New Kids on the Block
Yall people really didn't know Westlife they were more popular than NSYNC worldwide
*NSYNC were just better regardless.
@@eguyatt6813 nope they weren't Westlife had way more hits compared to NSYNC rather backstreet boys might be arguable
before all these boybands came about, there was New Edition.
the best boy band of all time 😌
@@honestboy yeah that RnB boyband created its own legacy, I mean boys ii men looked up to New Edition.
@@viwedayile8748 The Jackson 5 preceded them all.
@@PHSDM104 Oh yeah I forgot about them hence the "New Edition" of the Jackson 5.
@@PHSDM104 And before The Jackson Five It was The Temptations and Four Tops too
great video!! i feel like ive always known these 2 groups feuded but never had any clue why. super informative stuff!
I love both groups but If a vs battle were to happen between them Backstreet Boys would win due to the fact that they have more albums.
Also bc they've been together for longer and harmonizing all these years
I don't see what the big deal is about having more albums
@@spiceupyourlife7755 they have more songs to choose from.
@@mutantx2372 doesn’t matter, you’re putting quantity over quality
Both groups are great, they've released great songs and albums, but it's Backstreet Boys for me 😭😭😭🙌🏾🙌🏾
Hi Honest nice video BTW (By The Way) I would like to see a video about Missy Elliott & her career & impact on hip hop/rap. I would also like to see a video of Brandy & her career & her impact on r&b music & her Full Moon / Afrodisiac Era & why Brandy is an important figure in r&b
Backsteet boyzzzzzzz alll the wayyyyyyy
I prefer backstreet boys a real group in my opinion, I feel like nsync was like let's prepare Justin Timberlake for his solo, other members in nsync could sing and I think jt Sanchez was the better singer but no lets shove Justin in everybody face.
*JC Chasez
@@eguyatt6813 I cant stand Justin, I know he's talented but god the ego, it's off putting
@@bluered5527 how?
No that’s just how people remember it now but back in the group it was pretty equal for the most part
@@eguyatt6813 was "gone" even a nsync song?
Idk if this has been said: i’ve never heard Chris, Joey, or Lance has solo lines. While BSB has quite equal line distribution since Millennium.
Chris had solos in I drive myself crazy, and it's one of their best songs in my opinion. He has a really high beautiful voice. With that voice, he should've had way more solos.
Chris and Joey sang more than Kevin and Howie
@@eguyatt6813 that’s definitely not true lol
@@KathrynMosley close enough, my point is Kevin and Howie barely sang, bsb don’t get credit for them all singing, their first album is 90% AJ and Brian
@@eguyatt6813 I think if we’re going by first albums alone it’s actually pretty even on both ends of most to least leads sung. Brian and AJ, do have the most but Nick is actually only a few leads behind them while Joey and Chris sing even parts to Kevin and Howie. It’s the only album where that’s the case as then Nsync focus more on Justin and JC and poor Lance only gets to showcase his vocals twice and then never again on their follow up albums. For BSB it’s the opposite Kevin and Howie start to have more leads each album, especially their last 6 albums. Having JC and Justin sing 90% of their entire catalog kinda makes sense and sad for the other guys because they can sing quite well. I think having that extra lead vocalist in AJ, Brian and Nick definitely makes a difference and when Kevin and Howie do their parts, also they have so many songs where all five sing lead vocals. Nsync has I think two overall. They definitely didn’t showcase each individuals voice quite like Backstreet Boys do and have but both are great in their own ways.
I was born in 2000 so this was a bit before my time but I ended up becoming a huge BSB fan, Larger Than Life was my most played song on iTunes and continues to be one of my favourite songs ever
Great video lot of info I didn’t know about the groups
Why does this really remind me of the “war” between EXO and BTS that happened in the early-mid 2010s???
One blaring correction that I see is that New Kids on the Block was the prototype for Uber successful boy bands… in all reality, Boys II Men and New Edition was actually the prototype, but were not ready for that conversation
Yes for group dynamics new edition modelled later boybands like backstreet boys and *NSYNC, but new kids on the block were essentially a blue print for how to get their commercial success to another level.
Facts!
the backstreet boys just had their 30th band birthday boo ya nsync backsteet has shown has its done
Still pissed that Justin Timberlake basically ruined someone’s career and didn’t face any consequences…..
Love both groups. Iconic.
My millenial ass never clicked so fast
They were both basically the template for boy groups to come back in the 2010s like 1 Direction and 5Sos
Nsync and the backstreet boys are both of my favorite boy bands in the world 🌎 of all time just like my favorite female artists britney spears christina aguilera brandy and monica 🙂😁👍👏👏
Bsb was bigger all around the world
*NSYNC really could’ve been bigger if they tried but they were so popular in America than they didn’t really need to be huge internationally, even though they did have modest success pretty much everywhere.
We’re gonna need a video about Rihanna and the super bowl!!
Why ? She didn’t perform yet
The Backstreet Boys are tame and stoic? Maybe Kevin… but tame and stoic to describe a group that has AJ McLean in it?
And Brian. Brian looks tame but he's the most hyper among the 5 members of Backstreet.
I agree. AJ is the epitome of being edgy. That's why he made BSB unique, sound and image wise.
It reminds me of SUJU v/s BTS unknown rivalry ❤❤😢😢
I still have both these groups greatest hits cds and i will say even though some of the songs are dated they are still fun and amazing and that 2 me is whats most important
Well, thanks to this competition HAVE THEM ALL ❤❤❤❤❤
Could you do a video of UK bands Take That and East 17? (from the 90’s)
Very interesting! But I would like to know more about what the content of the rivalries was and how far fans bought into it.
Look up Boy Band Con: Lou Pearlman story on KZhead
HONEST OMG I DIDNT REALIZE THIS WAS YOU!???? Like you sound so different and engaged!!! I love thisssss video and I hope you’re doing amazing sweetie
Honestly growing up I just thought there were two different boy bands that people compared to each other I had no idea that the management or the creator of one band I secretly made another one this kind of sounds like a Disney Channel movie lmao and there’s nothing wrong with creating another boy band but at the end of the day it’s disloyal and also does genuine because we don’t really know what he was telling the Backstreet Boys.
Yeah I feel stupid now knowing I was basically brainwashed by Lou Pearlman to hate Nsync.
@@PrincessKLS Exactly princess because I just saw that they were rival bands I didn’t know they were technically brother band which I understand why they mentioned did that but it would’ve been more of a bigger for us if they would’ve went on tour together if they would’ve this shows together.
Thank you. I'm soooooo glad Spice Gis stayed sane. That's why they are my Girl Group Legends.
I never really thought of it as a few I know that they had the same manager and the same person discovered them I always thought they was a like but they was talented I always can tell the difference between both of the groups but they just remind me of each other
I had NSync's very 1st TV performance recorded on VHS. My 7 yr old self watched it on repeat lmao. BSB's music is more timeless tho. "As Long As U Love Me" by BSB still gets play from me!
It’s Gonna Be Me is it’s own internet holiday and people regularly say “Bye, Bye, Bye” 🤷🏻♂️
@@ssshar2176 "it's gonna be MAY" is a funny meme lol
Love the video
In 7th grade I was obsessed with Nsync and my best friend was with BSB we both would download tons of things from the Internet of them and we thought wed marry Justin and Nick😆 good times☺️
He said new kids on the block set the stage for the 90s boy band But I really think that was new edition mainly because they were the ones new kids looked up to and I believed they were formed by the same manager and new kids was made as a “white new edition” because they would be able to sell better he should make a video on this it’ll be interesting to see
you are so correct
And even before New Edition there was the Jackson 5/Jacksons.
Funny how this video pops up after my sis and I were just talking about the bands earlier at dinner lol. :P
Lol I was a little Kid when they put out these albums. I didn’t know there was a feud I just thought it was good music. But I do love that members from both groups collaborate with each other for Back Sync
I mean now that we are adults can we finally admit that JC was the talented one in that boy group?
The best vocalist but not the best overall talent. Sorry not sorry
Vocally, yes. But not overall. Justin had vocals, writing, acting and stage presence. He's also a far better overall performer than JC.
@@Sttephy30 💯💯💯
JC was also a great dancer who could do some gymnastics! But don't forget about Joey, he was such a good dancer as well
Justin was more marketable especially because of Britney
Stop it nsync is gone but THE BACKSTREET BOYS STILL HERE and Become The GREATEST BOYBAND OF ALL TIME ALMOST 150 MILLIONS ALBUMS WORLD WIDE HARD TO BEAT THAT.
I loved all these groups and artists as a kid growing up in the 90s. Tbh I was only vaguely aware of the rivalry stuff and it didn't really ruin the scene for me.
This time was very fun. I didn't see the point of the battle but I have always been NSYNC over BSB.
My most memorable part of the feud that sticks out to me till this day is when a BSB fan girl threatened to kill an NSYNC fan live on TRL when she lost a competition between the 2 lol also when the NSYNC fangirls won a Winnebago on the price is right and followed the guys tour bus cross country! Lol
I see Backstreet Boys and I came 😊
BSB FOR LIFE! I like bye bye but I honestly didn’t know nsync existed until I came to live in the states but BSB was huge where I’m from and I still know and love all their songs
Literally same lol Nsync were not popular in my home country at ALL
I love how the manager wanted to be the 6th member of the group - I know it was for dodgy contract reasons, but as if anyone was gonna buy it!!
I love them all so awesome
They tried to pin All Saints against Spice Girls
It’s not the same as this
This feud was millennial crack!!! I gave both groups so much of my money
I think Pearlman went on the run and was eventually spotted at a tropical bar somewhere by some tourists who knew he was on the wanted list.
I seriously liked both but my friends were die hard BSB fans. Oh to be a teen again!
I remember going to MediaPlay (RIP) and waiting all night to buy the NSYNC album 😂 I was 12. Oh and in 6th grade my very first concert was BSB, holding my poster in the nosebleeds hoping NSYNC wouldn't feel betrayed 😂 So, to your point, yes the perceived rivalry was very real... in my 12YO mind.
I really liked both BSB and NSYNC, but I enjoyed NSYNC a little more. Saw them twice in concert.
It would have been nice to acknowledge that New Kids on the Block themselves were created as a copy of and direct competition to New Edition and was created by the former manager, Maurice Starr, who they fired after receiving a paycheck of 0.67 cents to split between the 6 of them. Just a brief one sentence would have been nice just because New Kids on the Block wasn't just meant to be competition to New Edition but to ERASE them (cause their former manager had a vendeta) and he seems to be succedding. Everyone credits New Kids on Block for modern boybands when they weren't even the originals. I am not sure if I would say that the rivalry is what pushed into international stardom because both groups gaijed fame internationally without their rivalry BEFORE coming to the US. It was only in the US that the rivalry was beneficial.
"Apparently" there is a demo of Backstreet Boys singing Tearing Up My Heart which I need to hear!
The Spice Girls was always put against a band called All Saints, it was very much SG vs AS at one stage in the UK
It was the other way around. Spice Girls would never be associated with All Saints whereas the latter would be constantly compared with the quintet. Plus, although All Saints had the best selling single in the UK for many years and broke Spice Girls record once the Spice Girls had a way much bigger success internationally (hits and albums). All Saints were quite successful in the UK but not so much elsewhere. Backstreet Boys vs *NSYNC is a different subject, they came to a point in which they were head to head, even though BSB still remains overall the best selling boy group with the most global hits hence the most successful.
For the longest I got the group names mixed up 😭but shit, they both sound the same
All Saints were pretty much marketed as the cool alternative to the Spice Girls.
I suggest everyone watch the Boy Band Con a great documentary by Lance Bass. Also Backstreet Boys doc Show ‘Em What Your Made Of
So interesting 🎉
BSB were the better singers, while NSYNC were the better dancers.
That’s what AJs wife Rochelle thought of them, yet she married a BSB bad boy
*NSYNC were also better singers
@@eguyatt6813 Not really. BSB are the better singers and they have distint voices that complement each other. I don't like Justin's voice. He sound like a goat.
What better way to beat competition than having a hand in creating and controlling it? Not saying it's right but it worked until the truth came out
I like both but a BSB ballad just hits right.
YOU CAN'T DENY SO JUST TELL ME WHYYYYYYY?!?
I used to think they were the same group… LOL
This should be a live action movie
Nsync was a boy band that was pin, against the Backstreet Boys on purpose. By the same person who created the first band, which it was the Backstreet Boys. Even though that both boy group were great band, Nsync were never going to beat or outlived the Backstreet Boys. Because they were never going to be bigger as them in the first place. People or fans never saw them as a freshly boy band, they always seeing them as the Backstreet Boys rival. Not to mention the person who created, both Backstreet Boys and Nsync. And other artists, he robs and stolen from them.
Lou as 6th member of each group he started but bsb and *nsync 2 different paths, one put money back because of him then they be free and other messy court battle for their name... both won at the end
Do a video on Prince or George Michael
Good old days when boy bands every where
Let's be real, In order to put this "fabricated" feud between Backstreet Boys & *NSYNC to its grave.... *TOUR TOGETHER!!*
The British All Saints band be considered a rival to the Spice Girls.
I agree but at the same time, All Saints were like the complete opposite of The Spice Girls in terms of music and artistic image. While The Spice Girls were more colorful, joyful and fun with their fashion and music, the approach of All Saints was more dark, toned-down and serious. So in short, All Saints were like the Anti Spice Girls, much like how Avril Lavigne was considered to be the Anti-Britney when she debuted in 2002 with her album Let Go.
Secret sibling rivalry

TEAM NSYNC FOR LIFE! But in all seriousness Lou Pearlman was responsible for the “feud.” He would make up stories saying that NSYNC was talking crap about BSB and visa versa. He was so gross! And I’m glad they’ve all realized this years ago and became friends. I wonder if Lou was friends with the original management of New Edition and TLC; they had all their money stolen too.
That one guy I think his last name was Wright was "friends" with Lou or at least cordial. Lou seemed like a narc parent using triangulation on his kids to pit them against each other and dividing them. Glad they found out the truth way before he died. Could you imagine all that mess coming out posthumously (for Lou)? Such gross behavior.

Alex Greggs who helped JC write and/or produce some songs for NSYNC's 2nd and 3rd albums, said in a recent interview that both groups actually did look out for each other during their respective lawsuits and hung out a lot more than ppl realize
