The Backstreet Boys Threw a Comeback Party and the Only People Who Came Were...
Posted on Fri Nov 2, 2007 12:46 PM PDT
Oh how the mighty have fallen! Once at the top of the charts during the boy band craze of the late 90s, the reunited Backstreet Boys (minus one) are only expected to sell 100,000 copies of their latest album, Unbreakable, which hit stores the same day as Britney's Blackout (it's a class of '99 flashback, y'all!). And, appropriately, it seems like the only people they could get to show up to their party last night at Opera were Bai Ling (she'll go anywhere) and Kevin Connolly!
Don't be too sad, 100,000 copies is a perfectly respectable number for a 10-year-old former boy band!

i still love them
trust you to miss anything of interest. JC Chasez was there as well.
This girl could hang out with Britney. I can deffinately see these two hanging real tight.
Celebs have a hard time getting it through their heads when they are a has been and it's time to move on.
I love BSB but it's just not the same without Kevin. Yeah I know he wasn't a lead singer but he was part of the group. I think he made a great move. As big as a fan as I am, Never Gone was not a very good album. I liked it because it was "my boys." I just can't get myself out there to buy the new album. I'm sure I will eventually but it's just not BSB for me without Kevin. I wish them all the best though.
I love them now and will until there's only one left! I have been a fan for years and I'm not giving on my Boys period.
The heck with that. I bought the album and I love it. I loved Never Gone too. I don't understand this "NG wasn't a good album" crap. Kevin made the right move for someone who wanted to start a family OUT of the limelight and do other projects. They are BSB with or without Kevin and I miss him too.
Love The BSB!
This clip is too short!
Kevin made the right move PERIOD. Not for someone starting a family or a solo career or whatever. Kevin has always been the one with his head on straight business-wise. He knew where this next album was headed and he bounced. Plain & simple.
Dee - The only song that did anything off of NG was Incomplete. One song does not equal a good album. But we are fans and we are partial to our boys. I listen to NG all the time. I have different versions of some of the songs and everything. But again I am a fan that's why I liked it. Give NG to an open-minded music lover and see what they think...
I mean, honestly I do believe they stick together to make albums for the fans they still have.. and they appreciate! Just because Britney's oily ass sold a bunch of records, just because shes a fucking mess. and is always in the tabloids. doesnt mean crap..Controversy sells.. She doesnt respect her fans though, her fans are probably the dumbest and most hardheaded out there.. I am more proud to be a Backstreet boys fan.. I bought their album, I downloaded Britney's cause it freaking sucks, theres one good song.. which is "piece of me". As long as BSB are putting out records then, I will be buying.. who fucking cares that a bunch of two faced celebs didnt show up to their party??? Just the fact they are still here, and able to put out records and tour is an accomplishment. 15 years together.. and close to 100 mill. albums sold. oh yeah, "QUALITY OVER QUANTITY" STUPID CUNTS!
i bought this album on tuesday when it came out, i think its pretty good. sadly, i think it will be the last album they record though. inconsolable is my new favorite song. i will always love bsb, heck, if i would have known they were having a party at opera last night i would have gone!!
yea, I believe it will be the last album too! or atleast for a long time... I mean with how everyone downloads music now, I dont see how anyone can sell records.. ya know.
BSB ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good thing I don't listen to radio anymore. Clearly this station has their head up their a$$.
Shouldn't radio stations try to support real talent? Playing and supporting crap like Britney Spears clearly suggests not.

Personally, I really REALLY like the Backstreet Boys. I was psyched to hear that they were putting out a new album. However.... I was really hoping that they would take it to the next level. Instead, it just feels like the same thing they have always done. Which, I'm seriously sorry to say, it's boring me. I don't know what it is, but I absolutely LOVE Alex when he sings. I want to love this album so bad, but.... it just falls short.
Get back in the studio guys! Don't let this be your last, but please, please, PLEASE.... give me something new, not a 90's flashback.

Ooops, messed that post up, meant A.J. not Alex!!!
Backstreet back oh cripe!!
Ya gotta love the BSB! They were on Regis and Kelly on Halloween and Regis asked them if they should be thinking of a new name since they're older now,lol. They sounded good but not as good as they did in the good old days. Good luck to them though!
put down the haterade, x17. they've never done anything to you.
I LOVE THEM!! so FUCK YOU X17 YOUR SITE IS JUST FULL OF BRITNEY'S CRAP!!!!

No hate for 'em.

Too funny. You don't like the "fucking mess" Britney but yet you still downloaded her album.
Interesting. People just don't want to admit her album is good. LOL
If you didn't like her then why download the album.
I still love them...NICK seemed to be found on a millionaire&model dating club meetrich dotcom not long before. It may be a rumor on internet.
Give them a break will you x17 !!!! Sorry they don't give you the biggest scoop of the year by doing something completely stupid like your queen shitney, porkney whatever her name !!! They are good singers, very talented, good husbands and good parents not like your fucking bitch !!
By the way your numbers are so wrong they have sold more than that in a week !!!! so I guess they are going to sell even more album, you idiot !!!
Don't follow them anymore if it's to write these craps on your website !!! and keep kissing shitney's ass !!
BSB rocks !!!
Kevin Connolly got a raw deal at TMZ about this same footage. Glad to see x17 didn't jump in on the hype. Kevin Connolly and the guys with the boombox (Bandarazzi) actually chatted when they got to the car and they said he was awesome and cool. But, TMZ had a different twist on it. Thank you, X17, for not buying into the hype.
Oh yeah, good luck BSB.
And, Bai Ling is so cute. Wasn't she on Entourage a few seasons back?
Yeah, but if Kevin Connolly was there, who cares about anyone else?
I saw the TMZ video too, and think Kevin Connolly got shafted by TMZ. Which is too bad, because he is always so nice to the paps and video guys. Why they had to go skank on him is beyond me? Even the band posted comments saying they love him and is awesome.
Kevin Connolly is really sensitive and feeling, and he sometimes loses his cool quickly because of it (hence, not afraid to pop someone who annoys him). But, he's like all the guys I know here in New York. They talk tough, walk tough, and act tough, but they are kind, loyal and caring to a fault. He's a really genuinely nice guy and deserves better than TMZ did by him.
Sorry to turn this into a Kevin Connolly blog, but I am sick of the lack of respect he gets on these blogs and had to stick up for him a bit!
i love my boys..:)
BSB is the best
The new bsb album is great! no doubt about it!

I used to love them, but that chapter of my life is closed. Good luck to them though.
I love BSB! They know who their true fans are so who cares what everyone else thinks!! When they come on tour their dates will be sold out just like a couple of years ago when they went on tour all of the shows I went to were sold out in a couple of days!!!BSB your TRUE FANS LOVE YOU! don't worry about the rest
So what! They may have only seen that many people coming and going, but who knows how many people were already there before you got down there to scope out the situation. When you look at the film of inside it looked like there were a lot of people there.
And they will sell more than 100,000 copies. It already went Platinum in Japan, so come on. I am so tired of people putting them down especially some of the so called media.
They are a great group, and have wonderful voices. Give credit where credit is due. They can sing like no one else. They are truly talented. I for one who have been a fan from the start know that these guys with all they have been through individually and as a group, still come out with the best product of sound and songs. Yes we miss Kevin, and wish he was still with them, but the four remaining voices are strong enough to carry on while he concentrates on his family.
Congratulations guys your CD is great. Please do One In A Million as your next single!!!!!!!!!
the album unbreakable is really doing well..it was numbe two on the first week of sales...i love bsb i've been a fan for ten years... Unbreakable is the come back album for the backstreet boys...with or without kevin the four remaining guys will be just fine...
