Boyband Smackdown

lol....that was pointless we knew sooooooooooo...gonna happen lol
at that justin timberlake pic it just made me laygh comepard to
what he looks like now

i know that bsb and nsync are good and i am still listening to
them both .

yeah ya know, it was weird BSB came out then faded, along comes
nsync, they faded then BSB came back then nsync so i guess i liked
whatever group was hot at that time. truthfully i havent listened
to either of them since i was 14, and that was 7 years ago

Yeah, this cracks me up. I haven't been on kiwibox since my nsync
days. Who knew that people still have this debate. Nsync kicks
behind, and ya know, I would still go see them if they were ever
to get back together and go on tour..thats how much I love 'em

haha! the ending of this cracked me up! i've always loved bsb a
lot more than nsync. i still listen to bsb somewhat regularly. i'm
psyched about their new album coming out.

I knew my screen name would be of some use eventually....

Actually, I didn't favor one over the other.

I was in love with Justin Timberlake for a while, but what teen
girl wasn't/isn't?

I agree with iMac

It ain't about who is cuter. It's about who can SING! lol And
trust me, BSB does that very well.

that's good

all my god i love them

nsync is wayyyy better than bsb! they are cuter

first of all in response to another response...whether or not a
band is searched has nothting to do with how good they are...okay
that said.
This article was very amusing! I got a kick out of it seeings as
during the reign of both boy-bands I had my fazes where both were
my favorites (along with Hanson, 98 degrees, and 5. lol)
Second of all..woot to Lance for winning out against Nick. Altho
I'm kind of shocked as this is the first I've heard of Lance's
being gay. Shows how much I've kept up, huh?
My all out favorite battle tho had to be Brian (who was my
favorite BSB) and Justin. I can just totally see those 2 going out
for a bear. Hahah!

Article=well done overall.

Ok so I'll admit that I loved NSYNC when I was younger and I still
listen to their music if I'm feeling nastalgic but this article is
dumb.

Still BSB and don't forget, 'n sync was searched, I think they
hardly knew each other before the made the band, the BSB already
knew each other ( Kevin and Brian are cousins and AJ, howie and
nick already did some stuff toghether)

Backstreet Boys 100%

sorry i keep reading this but i can't believe that people are
seriously still debating this

ok i just read this noise and it was always that brian and jc were
the equivalents to each other and nick and justin were the rival
frontmen

YOU GOT IT ALL WRONG

how could you

yo i didn't even read this noise the backstreet boys had it going
on

they even had a song about how much they had it going on

personally i like them both

Honestly I like them both, but if I had to choose, I'd prolly say
that I like NSYNC a little bit better. I have all of their CD's &
I think all of the songs are good on all of the CD's. BSB I don't
have all of their CD's, & some of their songs I found a lil bit
annoying. Oh & not only do I think Kevin should have been the
older brother type... but wasn't Nick the "hot" one & Brian the
more innocent one. Don't get me wrong, I think Brian is hot, but
more of the girls I had talked to, liked Nick more than Brian.
That's just me I guess.

gosh.. i dont know what to say.. i was in love with both groups!!
i was in love with Lance from N'sync, and Nick from BSB.. and even
though Lance is gay i support him A GAZILLION %!! but i would
probably say that N'Sync was my fav!!! :) but gosh.. it is hard to
choose from!!!

*N SYNC wasn't just a group of hot guys but they could really
sing. I loved them when I was younger and am sure if they put out
another CD that I would still love them.

I used to be so in love with NSYNC and Justin. I was so obsessive.
I glad that has change.

I'm with cac3710... Kevin is an older brother more than AJ is. Do
you NOT know your BSB? I don't think you do, whoever this author
of the article is.

Oh, and JC had that album Schizophrenic with what was that song...
"Some girls dance with women?" You call that a hit album? I know
Nick didn't do as good on TRL, but he had radio airplay, and his
music was actually good. LOL

And you call Alpha Dog acting? lol

"Wahahah BSB sucked from Millenium on? Well I kinda think that
Black and Blue it BSB's best album ever, have you ever heard it?"

Also, to set the record straight, Black and Blue sold more in its
first week than Millennium did. (1.8 million, vs. 1.18 million in
the US), broke records INTERNATIONALLY with selling 5 million
copies of Black and Blue within the first week worldwide (funny
how that works that anybody in Nsync or their fanbase forgets
there are countries outside of the us!), and also set records in
Canada for being the only group to get back to back #1 debuts with
sales more than a million albums in the first week. You have to
remember, the world is a big place.

"and you know why BSB is comming out with a new album after all
this time.. because they couldn't make it on their own with out
each other...lol... how sad...and justin is not what made the
band.. it was all of them.. and none of them turned gay...JC is
one of the best... "

BSB are like brothers. That is why they stick together. They like
what they are doing together. And by the way, to refresh your
memory, Lance, the gay one, is from Nsync, not BSB. And, if Justin
wasn't the cream of the crap of Nsync, then why don't we hear
about any of the other Nsyncers?

"justin might have changed but NSYNC were a top group that made
boybands famous."

Someone has their timeline out of order... Gee, who came first? It
wasn't Nsync, was it... At least, not in the worldwide realm.

"who cares if they might have broken up.. that dosn't mean there
bad, they prolly just got into an argument or decided that they
didn't want to stay away from their families anymore. who knows
but they were good."

That's some real confidence you say that with, and that's some
cohesion they've got going on there, right? lol

"They at least had harmony and didn't lipsink.."

You've never heard BSB perform live acapella, have you? You would
be speaking differently if you had.

"NSYNC was totally better than BSB. I wish they would come out
with another album.. but at least i still get to hear Justin on
the radio haha. NSYNC FOREVER :D"

Then you can 'TOTALLY' keep on wishing.

"NYSNC"

Is spellcheck great? Who are these "NYSNC" guys?

"Nsync by far. highest record sales."

Not highest record sales WORLDWIDE. Why are Nsync fans so focussed
on the US? Maybe because Nsync hardly ever visited OUTSIDE the US
to have enough fans outside of the US borders?!?!?!? Actually,
back in the day, when NSA was released, I did a little bit of
math, according to the statistics of how many copies of NSA the
fans bought (according to the poll they had "How many copies of
NSA did you buy?"), Had each fan only bought one copy, the sales
in the US for NSA would've ONLY been about 60% of what they were.
That would've been only 1.44 million copies, higher than
Millennium, yet LOWER than B&B. Yes, I said it. Had fans bought
only one copy, Black and Blue would've been ranked higher in the
US than NSA would've.

"no one addicted to drugs so far.."

AJ is sober now. But... what about this? Explain, Justin fans..
explain....

I agree, KellyBSBlover, BSB has a much better impact on people.

"No one disses my boys! "

I agree, Aggie, I agree.

"neither of these bands exist anymore"

BSB still exists, actually. Next single comes out May 23rd, and I
can't wait!

"lance was in fact my favorite and all though i had been over
nsync for a few years when he came out.. i was still crushed."

That's what happens when you want a date with him and you don't
value him for his music. The music is at the core of it all. When
it's not, people don't last. That's why BSB have lasted so long.
People love their music.

"Well, it's not like Kevin Richardson could be named the sexiest
bachelor in 2006... HE'S MARRIED!"

ROTFLMAO true, true true.

"nsync was always the best. and we know it. "

Gotta love that circular reasoning, right? Because it's a fallacy.
Same for the information-suppressing card stacking fallacy that
the other Nsync fans are doing.

"I wish this article actually focused on their musical talents and
not what they're doing.

BSB would win hands down."

Yes, I agree. I agree completely!!

"I like BSB until they release their millenium album. Sorry but
they sucked from then on. Nsync just got better and better."

If they sucked from then on, then why do they still have such a
fanbase, even after taking a 5 year hiatus? And where is Nsync
now?
"i see more nsync members doing more right now then the backstreet
boys..and you don't hear much about BSB..i am all for NSYNC"

Gee, doesn't that sound a bit backwards?

Who is coming out with a new album and who isn't? DUUHHHH. Rumors
aren't just flying about a new BSB album coming out. It IS going
to come out some time this year, whether you like it or not. And
what about Nsync...erm just Justin?

Backstreet Boys are wayyyyyy better they've been there longer too
if Im correct

bsb!!

i am all for nsync..i used to be in love with justin and i see
more nsync members doing more right now then the backstreet
boys..and you don't hear much about BSB..i am all for NSYNC

and does anyone else think maybe it should've been kevin vs. joey
and AJ vs. JC? just maybe...i always saw kevin as the "older
brother" prolli cause he was brian's older cousin, but
whatev...iunno...why am i getting all defensive? sry...

Wahahah BSB sucked from Millenium on? Well I kinda think that
Black and Blue it BSB's best album ever, have you ever heard it?
LOL and 'n sync stopped making music after BSB's black and blue
album, what about Nevergone? it's such a hot album and I'm soo
into BSB's new material :D Bring it on guys! so for me it;s still
BSB

Not that I don't llike 'n Sync only it's just that 'n sync is a
boyband and BSB are a close hamony group, BSB also writes their
own stuff I like Justin more on his own than in 'n sync

then nothing else will.... It's all about my boys... the
Backstreet Boys

Personally, I was a Nsync fan. But see, I like BSB until they
release their millenium album. Sorry but they sucked from then on.
Nsync just got better and better.

i might just be saying this out of bias(in favor or nsync) but
these comparisons should have been arranged differently..it would
seem more logical to have paired justin with nick..etc. but thats
just my opinion.

BABY!!!!!!
All I have to say is Nick Carter! Whoot!

the whole smackdown thing...
besides, there's a much easier format to follow: doesn't anyone
remember 2Ge+her?
The Older Brother: should be Kevin (since he's older and kinda
doting) and Chris (since he's the oldest)
The Young One: Nick Carter and Justin Timberlake (duh, they're
both blonde, most of the fans chose them over any of the guy in
the group, and they both have that whiny voice.)
The Heartthrob: Brian Littrell and JC Chasez (the more manly cute
one.)
The Shy One: Howie Dorough and Lance Bass.
The Bad Boy: AJ McLean (tattoos!) and Joey Fatone

and you know why BSB is comming out with a new album after all
this time.. because they couldn't make it on their own with out
each other...lol... how sad...and justin is not what made the
band.. it was all of them.. and none of them turned gay...JC is
one of the best...

when I was young I liked NSYNC and hated BSB.
but now I have like 15 BSB songs on my iPod and listen to them on
a weekly basis haha

NSYNC ....well for you sara_2005 i know for a fact that the nsync
guys are christians and are not gay... justin might have changed
but NSYNC were a top group that made boybands famous. and who
cares if they might have broken up.. that dosn't mean there bad,
they prolly just got into an argument or decided that they didn't
want to stay away from their families anymore. who knows but they
were good. They at least had harmony and didn't lipsink...
that is all i have to say
NSYNC FOR EVER!!!!!!!!

Its BSB baby! You know why??? Cause, they are still playing, and
Nsync, well..... not so much a group anymore, now are they??
Besides, BSB, is very low key, never hearing of any drama, at
least, not anymore. Justin, is hot, it's true. But, the rest of
those guys suck and is gay and ulgy. But, who knows??? Maybe they
will come back and look better, all I can say is... pray, alot for
Nsync!!! BSB ALL THE WAY BABY!

i meant one of the guys from nsync's gay lol!

BSB for life!!!...i mean you really dont here alot about them n e
more buts it better not to hear about them because at least one of
them turned GAY supposedly like one of the ugys from nsync ( i was
watching a tv show and they mentioned it! )...the only thing that
came good outta that band was justin and he should of just started
solo right off the bat hes doing hella better than when he was in
a all boy band! : P

BSB 4ever.....they were the best and will always b the best...till
the end!!!!

BSB all the way, baby!

Hahaha. Check out my username.

Nsync all the way baby! woooha! RIP

This debate is back..I remember those horrible days of battling
over boybands...but I still the same way I did back in
1998...BACKSTREET BOYS still kick Nsync's @$$.

Justins pimpin R&B right now..and as soon as that ship has sailed,
I guess he'll be pimpin rock music. Hopefully, TRUE rock fans will
see through the veil and kick his phony @$$ to the curb.

BSB FTW :D

uh....backstreet boys of course...

NSYNC was totally better than BSB. I wish they would come out with
another album.. but at least i still get to hear Justin on the
radio haha. NSYNC FOREVER :D

JT clearly won that fight. Big time.

I liked both.. towards the end I tended toward Nsync.

Great article!`

*Nsync is so better! Reasons why:

Justin
JC
Chris
Lance
Joey

Enough said

Have to admit though BSB are my fave!

nsyncccc!

BSB SUX!!!!! Nuf said!!!!
