The Backstreet Boys are Back
A new shot of the group has just been released — band of four, and Kevin Richardson's shoes.
He's the "sole" member not returning.

Two questions:
1) Is the one in the stripes Nick Carter?
2) If so, what the hell kind of diet plan / exercise regimen / plastic surgery program / deal with Satan is he on?
Wow: total transformation. The Year of the Dolphin has been good to him.

Are they like totally opening up for the Spice Girls?

Whaddaya mean "The Backstreet Boys are Back"? They never actually left: www.metacritic.com/music/artists/backstreetboys/nevergone?q=Backstreet
Ironically, their last album was titled "Never Gone."

Argh, Kevin was my favorite. I'll miss you boo. I just did an internet focus group on one of their upcoming songs. Still not a lot of growth in sound, unfortunately, but was very tuneful. They are becoming firmly entrenched in Adult Contemporary land. all praise. LOL.

Kevin's smart. Stay away from Backstreet, okay?? :D
Posted by: Allen | Aug 1, 2007 1:41:19 PM
As much as I like the Backstreet Boys (and Kevin was always my favorite) this is cheeeeesy. It almost makes it seem like they're gonna have another person fill in. Either that or he's disappearing piece by piece, a la Back to the Future.

Kevin who? Backstreet what?

Didn't they have a comeback album out last year?
Is this comeback part 2?
I am so confused.
Bring back the New Kids and we'll talk.

Some things should stay dead. I blame Jesus for starting this comeback fad.

10 bucks they'll get american idol's beatbox Blake to fill those shoes.
bring back the Bay City Rollers and we'll talk.

Nick Carter has been on a diet, saw it on TV, and he is lookin' hot!
Posted by: cute | Aug 1, 2007 2:46:52 PM
Kevin's not there 'cuz he can't sing!!
Posted by: Nikko | Aug 1, 2007 2:54:32 PM
Kevin was the hottest. Anyone with that devilish look definitely has my vote.
Nick Carter has those Paris Hilton cooties (and God know what else), but he IS looking a lot better these days, I'll give him that....a lot better than his sleazy looking younger brother Aaron, who looks like cheap Eurotrash (or what I call Eurotrailer)

Damn. They're back and my rifle is in the shop.

Two words: Why Bother?
Crappy music, bad singing, terrible writing. That pretty much sums up the Backstreet Boys for me. I got so sick and tired of hearing them everywhere I went. I truly don't think that any of them could carry a tune in a bucket.
Lack of talent aside, they were pretty cute. :)

The Backstreet Boys are talented and Nick Carter is hot! All these guys need is good material and the right producer and they will be back on top. I hope it happens for them.

I read Kevin just had a baby. Maybe that has something to do with it?
Posted by: Rob (lrdarystar) | Aug 1, 2007 7:28:56 PM

i can't wait. I love BSB! I met Brian. I can't wait to see Brian in September and January on the vacation. Nick is goodlooking and Kevin is coming back!

Filling the void left by Ms. Spears no doubt, but lightning never strikes twice, does it.

Backstreet was the worst of the boy band genre, so of course they were the biggest

Eww.

I wonder when Howey Dorough is going to come out?
Posted by: T. Zac | Aug 2, 2007 7:46:37 AM
Brian from the BSB is a right-wing christian who prays the rapture comes and kills non-believers. Don't trust them.
Posted by: Lou | Aug 2, 2007 8:08:34 AM
The reason they have kevins shoes is because is is still part of the group. HE is on the alubm on some of the songs. and is was there for part of the recording. He only left the group of a little wile because he just had a kid. Mason Richardson born july 3,o7. So just because you guys dont like going to backstreet concerts and would reather watch lindsay lohan flash everyone and paris hilton's sex tap on your parents coumputer wile they are sleeping. does not mean as BSB fans ( and yes there are still some out there) cant go to the concerts.
Love ya Bitches,
Kim Bradley

Actually yes, Nick went on a diet. He looks amazing.
He was on The Insider talking about it, here's a link:

nick just wants to be a better person and he is working hard at it
Posted by: jaakko | Aug 3, 2007 8:47:45 AM
Back? They never went anywhere.
They aren't replacing Kevin.
Nick went on a diet.
Kim Bradley--Kevin left the group. Period. He left to pursue other endeavours. Maybe he'll be back. Maybe he won't. But he left BEFORE Kristen was pregnant. The shoes are symbolic. Kevin will always be a part of the group whether he's there or not.
And if you were as much a fan as you claim, you'd know all that

Personally, I think most of you are full of crap and I agree with MONI. BSB have a ton of talent and have always been here. You may not like them, but admit it they are good people and have talent. Why would they have millions of fans all over the world if they were as horrible as you guys are saying they are?
Posted by: Sarah | Aug 7, 2007 4:45:24 PM
I say all of you who are writing that their music is crap blah blah blah are just jealous. Please correct me if im wrong, but BSB crap all over you negative people. They have sold over 70 million albums, have sold out too many concerts to name, and have millions of fans all over the world. Clearly they are not dead, and have much more to show us. Unless you have seen them live, you cannot say they dont have talent.
If any of you have achieved as much as they have, then your opinion might be valid...but if not...they shut the hell up and get over yourselves.
Backstreets Back, alright!
