Backstreet Boys Coming to Korea
01.29.08 | 08:01 am | Posted by: Crislyn
In the mid-1990s, there was no bigger pop group in the world than the Backstreet Boys. The heartthrobs ruled the airwaves with their sappy ballads and smooth dance moves. Teenage girls swooned over them, as they earnestly sang ``Quit Playing Games With My Heart," and ``As Long As You Love Me."

Like most boy bands, the Backstreet Boys had some problems transitioning from being cute teenage heartthrobs to mature adults. But the group has successfully moved on to a more pop-rock and R&B sound, as seen in their seventh album ``Unbreakable."

Definitely no longer boys, the Backstreet Boys will show their mature side in concert, March 8 at the Olympic Fencing Gymnasium, Olympic Park. They are returning to Seoul after a successful concert in 2006.

* I've been looking for a pretty updated Willa Ford sites for years and haven't stumbled on this one yet until yesterday, so I made this my Top Affiliate. Hands Down to the webmaster of this site Showst0pp3r. Dude thanks for Willa Juicy updates!

Mau?Why Willa? Even if she's our fave boy's ex-gf I get to appreciate her music and style ever since she was starting her career as "Mandah". She's the only ex-girlfriend of Nick that until now I'd still want to know her whereabouts. when she married her longtime boyfriend Mike Modano, I'm so glad that she found what her looking for. Nick and her learn a lot of different things in life when they were STILL together so I dont see her as the "villain" in Nick's life. Wether Nick admit it or not, before Paris...he used to love this girl with all his might. So GO Willa!

    The Backstreet Boys have dismissed speculation their record company is on the verge of dropping them.

    Jive Records were reported to have been preparing to kick the boy band off its roster.

    However, a spokesperson for the label tells website TMZ.com, "Reports about Jive Records dropping Backstreet Boys are completely untrue."

    "The group is about to embark on a worldwide tour in support of their album, Unbreakable, starting February 16th in Tokyo, as well as some high-profile television appearances."

    Howie D. on finding the new Menudo
    01.08.08 | 07:27 am | Posted by: Crislyn
    The Puerto Rican boy band Menudo, which gave singer Ricky Martin his start, is coming back as part of an “American Idol”-style reality show.

    Dozens of Latino teenagers showed up for auditions Saturday at a waterfront market in Miami, the Miami Herald reported. Judges included Johnny Wright, the music manager behind New Kids on the Block, ‘NSync and the Backstreet Boys, and Backstreet Boy Howie Dorough.

    Menudo was one of the most popular boy bands of the 1980s and ‘90s, rotating in new talent every few years when the singers got old or their voices changed.

    “We’re going to make it a little different than it was before,” Wright told the Herald. “The beat is going to be the beats of the street now — club, hip-hop and rock. It’s not going to be something that’s pigeonholed.”

    Seven boys from auditions being held around the country will be picked to film the series “The Road to Menudo,” airing next month on MTV Tr3s, MTV’s bilingual Latin-American channel.

Nicole, thank you for co-writing and doing such an AMAZING job singing the demo. Unfortunately, Tow Forevers was finished just after the new BSB album was already mastered and set to release. I know you think I've probably written some really great relationship/wedding songs in the past, well this one takes the wedding cake! haha (sorry for the cheese lol) I hope you enjoy listening to this one as it hopefully will lead you on an emotional ride to fall in love even a little more.

Although not yet quite open to the public, once they heard that Sambora was in town, the chef arranged an impromptu tasting for him and 15 friends in tow! That led to the Backstreet Boys with Nick Carter, A.J.
