britneyausfan Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I was watching clips from the Backstreet Boys performing their show in Vegas and was cringing at it thinking... they are so old/tacky/trying to reclaim their youth.. they are so over.. then I wondered... is that how people see Britney???!!! I figure we are so blinded by our love for her... but watching BSB was painful... they reminded me of old people trying to be relevant with todays youth... like: Link to comment
EarlyMorning Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Britney had top 17 hit last year and top 1 hit in last 5 years... she is relevant unlike BSB they are so 00.. Link to comment
ImSoCurious Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I like BSB. They have changes their style since they first came out, but they have to do a throwback for their fans. In A World Like This is a very different record if you compare it to their first one. They've artistically matured too. For example, for the In A World Like This Tour, they started to play instruments live. That's just my opinion. 10 minutes ago, britneyausfan said: I was watching clips from the Backstreet Boys performing their show in Vegas and was cringing at it thinking... they are so old/tacky/trying to reclaim their youth.. they are so over.. then I wondered... is that how people see Britney???!!!

DoSomething954 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I think in general pop is super ageist. Like I watch madonna and Mariah Carey and them trying to squeeze into tiny outfits and trying to be cool collaborating with rappers on songs and all that, and it screams desperate. Idk if Britney will go their route or more a JLo route. Like JLo is pushing 50 but her wardrobe, antics don't seem desperate. Britney probably has to find a happy medium where she can grow with her audience and still give classic bops with her next few eras. BSB is touring but they have no new songs that I'm aware of? So they are quite literally a nostalgia act. Link to comment
Spearsfan Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 The irony of this thread. I was watching videos and it looked great their show. How are they trying to get the youth when most of the audiance grow up with them. All the ppl that are doing Vegas are nostalgia acts. Britney included...don't be delusional The main age group going to Vegas minus older ppl grew up with Britney, JLO, and BSB. That is why they all are doing good. Say Selena did Vegas. I actually don't think it would do good all because I went to her show last year and her audiance is high school kids. So the Vegas crowd wouldn't dig because we aren't as familiar with her.

Draw The Blinds Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 They still sound great to me. I don't see them as desperate...everyone gets older....Britney, BSB, me, you. Doesn't mean you stop doing what you love Link to comment
WilderWein Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 They havent worked in since forever, so thats a very different situation obviously. Also even if they've been gone for long and are a nostalgic act now, nothing sad about that.. you just have a very negative and kind of shady way of thinking. Link to comment

Kiiddy Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 You're comparing a boy band from the 90s who stopped being active over a decade ago, to a pop icon who never stopped releasing music, never stopped performing or dressing in **** outfits. So it makes no sense for anyone to think she's 'desperate' Especially if they like Beyonce or Lady Gaga considering they're in their 30s as well, because they don't have anything to say about them.

lustwecantcontrol Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Well it's very different because BSB's last hit was like 17/18 years ago meanwhile Britney just had a top 20 last year, I mean do some people think she's old news yes but that's bound to happen after being around for so long, they think that about Madonna too.

I agreee But BSB had an album in 2013 and a world tour and are also currently working on new music. Even when Kevin left the four others continued to make albums. Link to comment
LostInAnImage Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 BSB has never been on an actual hiatus, their most recent album was released in 2013 and debuted at #5 on the BB200, which means all of their 9 albums have debuted in the top 10. They have also actively continued to tour worldwide, and have sold out the vast majority of all their shows (over 93% tickets sold in 2013), including multiple arenas and stadiums overseas. They are the best-selling boyband of all time and will always continue to have a very loyal fanbase; they just don't bother with promotion or trying to get hits anymore because they know that's not realistic for a boyband that's been around since 1993. I've seen them live four times since 2005, (on two different continents), most recently in 2013, and all shows were sold out and they were amazing. So don't even try and come for the BSB! They are my male Britney. Link to comment
