COMMENTARY: Let's put an end to boy-band feud once and for all
Source: Excite News
Where I got this from:
"Backstreet Millennium"
By Jacob Abbott
Badger Herald
U. Wisconsin
(U-WIRE) MADISON, Wis. -- One of the most difficult things about being an editor is that, from time to time, one is forced to deal
with tough issues, controversial hot-button topics that threaten to tear the community apart. Herald Entertainment fears that we are
nowin the midst of just such a controversy and that the time has come for us to take a stand. The feud about which I speak is, of
course, that which has brought the music industry to the brink of civil war: N'Sync versus the Backstreet Boys.
However divisive the issue may be, however many readers we may alienate, let our stance on the subject be known: Backstreet
Boys are way cooler than N'Sync.
If you just look at the evidence, the Backstreet Boys win out in every category, be it style, lyrics, dance moves or just a certain
intangible savoir faire. Frankly, it seems that when you really take a look at the bands, any question about who's better evaporates
and it's quite clear who comes out on top.
Come on, does anyone really think there's an N'Sync song that even approaches "Ain't Nothing But a Heartache?" Lyrics like "You
are my fire/ My one desire" are like pages torn from the Boys' very souls. And what does N'Sync have? "Tearin' Up My Heart?"
Pretty weak, guys. "God Must Have Spent a Little More Time on You?" I don't think so. If God spent any more time on N'Sync, it
was only to make them extra sucky.
When it comes to videos, it's the same story. When the Boys stride through the airport in the video for "Ain't Nothing But a
Heartache," they've got enough style to make Ricky Martin look awkward and uncoordinated. Meanwhile, the straightjackets worn by
N'Sync as they stumble around the asylum in the "I Drive Myself Crazy" video seem all too appropriate.
And do we even have to mention their looks? Compared to Backstreet, N'Sync looks like a police lineup. Backstreet encompasses
every type of look one could possibly want in a boy band, from Nick, the clean-cut nice boy, to Kevin, the rough-edged rebel with a
hint of danger in his eyes to A.J., whose wild hair and crazy antics amuse us all.
N'Sync offers little more than pale imitations of the Boys' unique style; Justin is a pretty boy who's not that pretty, Joey's the tough
guy (whatever) and as for Chris, with his multicolored dredlocks he's just plain ridiculous.
So please, let's put an end to this boy-band feud once and for all. If anyone out there still insists on saying that N'Sync is even a
shadow of the group that Backstreet Boys is, Iurge them to think it through. In a few months' time, N'Sync will be back hanging out
at the Tallahasse mall, but Backstreet has a talent and charisma the likes of which the world hasn't seen since the heyday of - dare
Isay it? - The New Kids on the Block.
So when the Backstreet Boys take the stage at the Kohl Center this fall, you can bet I'll be there, front row center, and you can be
damn sure I won't be thinking about any weak-ass Backstreet wannabes. Those who attend the Backstreet Boys show are certain to
experience the event of the year, and as for going to an N'Sync show, well, that ain't nothing but a mistake.

Here is the article as it appeared in Entertainment Weekly
(9/3/99 issue) And yes, we cutr out her last name: TWO EX-CITED
BACKSTREET BOYS Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned...by a Backstreet
Boy. Two ex-girlfriends of the crooners are getting back by writing tell-alls: In
November, St. Martin's is publishing What You Wanna Know: Backstreet Boys
Secrets Only a Girlfriend Can Tell by Brian Littrell's high school sweetheart
Samantha. Not to be outdone, Simon & Schuster is crashing A.J. McLean's former
paramour Marisa Jackson's Loving A.J.: My Six-Year Romance With a Backstreet
Boy into print next month. "I got to see everything," confides Samantha. "But of
course, for this particular book I'm making it PG." We just hope the catfighting
tomes are a bit juicier than last year's The Heart and Soul of Nick Carter: Secrets
Only a Mother Knows.
