[ NKOTBSB ] Favorite Contemporary Boy Band – Reader’s Poll

Boy bands are making a comeback! British groups like One Direction and the Wanted are conquering the airwaves and hearts of teenage girls all over the U.K., and now the U.S.

With all of the hype surrounding One Direction, the Wanted, Nickelodeon stars Big Time Rush and the impending Jonas Brothers reunion, PopCrush wanted all of the readers to weigh in on their favorite contemporary boy band.

One Direction and the Wanted are really breaking out in the States (they’ve already got millions of girls screaming for them over in the U.K.), with their singles ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ and ‘Glad You Came,’ respectively, achieving Billboard chart success and tons of airplay. Meanwhile, Big Time Rush are dominating with movies, tours and catchy tunes, while N.J. natives the Jonas Brothers are plotting their comeback with a new album in 2012.

While Hanson and Backstreet Boys were at the peak of their success back in the early 2000′s, they are still going strong. Hanson continues to crank out catchy songs like ‘Thinkin’ Bout Somethin’,’ while Backstreet Boys joined forces with ’90s boy band New Kids on the Block to form the touring super group NKOTBSB. C’mon, who doesn’t want to hear ‘Hangin’ Tough’ and ‘Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)’ all in one sitting?

[ NKOTBSB ] NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK FLY THE US FLAG FOR ONE DIRECTION

CRACKING America is the ultimate for any budding British group.

And boyband kings New Kids On The Block and Backstreet Boys are backing our very own One Direction to triumph this year.

If anyone should know about selling records to boyband fans it’s Joey McIntyre and Howie Dorough who have sold more than 200million albums between their two groups.

And they can’t get enough of all things British when we meet up for a spot of traditional English afternoon tea at London’s Dover Street Arts Club.

Joey says: “One Direction are the cutest things I’ve ever seen. I didn’t know if they could break America when I heard the single but now I’ve seen them I have no doubt.

“But JLS don’t have the right look.Let’s face it, you have to be cute to be in a boyband, and for people to like your personalities.

“I was talking to James Corden the other night about The Wanted. I didn’t know they don’t dance. That loses you 10 boyband points.” Joey and the rest of the New Kids – Jordan, 41, and Jonathan Knight, 43, Donnie Wahlberg, 42, and Danny Wood, 42 – scored hits including Hangin’ Tough and Step By Step in the ’80s.

[ NKOTBSB ] NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK & BACKSTREET BOYS

Warum sollte, was im Rock mit Double-Headliner-Tourneen zweier Genregiganten wie beispielsweise Mötley Crüe und Def Leppard vor kurzem in England so gut funktioniert, nicht auch im Pop- und Boygroup-Bereich klappen?

Dass sowohl New Kids On The Bloc als auch die Backstreet Boys zu ihrer Blütezeiten Giganten waren und auch heute noch zu den Sound- und Showriesen gehören will ja wohl niemand bestreiten? Wenn also diese zwei Legenden ihre Hits, Moves und Groves ins gemeinsame Reisegepäck stopfen, dann kann das beim Auspacken auf der Bühne einfach nur zu großartigen Ergebnissen führen. Schließlich sind die Kids und die Boys heute noch bestens ins Form und bestens bei Stimme, was man von so mancher Rockband leider nicht mehr behaupten kann.

[ NKOTBSB ] One Direction need to listen up, NKOTBSB have some important advice for them

Exclusive interview: Joey McIntyre from NKOTB and Howie D from Backstreet Boys chat X Factor and fame regrets

THEY’VE done it all before and they’re doing it all over again – but this time they’re a little bit wiser.
Joey McIntyre and Howie D from NKOTBSB have got some serious advice for One Direction.

Having experienced levels of fame with New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys in the 80s and 90s that the 1D boys are only just approaching, Joey and Howie are more than aware of the pitfalls of fame.

When we asked them to offer some advice to the boys, they told us: “It’s every 15 year old’s dream to be rich and famous and tour the world and be in a band – and it is cool.

“But you’re not going to have a girlfriend, you’re not going to finish school, you’re not going to your prom… you’re going to miss all of those experiences in life.”
