It was during Carson’s Countdown and while going to a commercial break, I believe it was, he said, “Devastating boy band news up next.” Sure enough when the show returned from commercial this is what was said, “ has sung their last song as a group,” and that “When speaking to J Records today, they confirmed that their relationship with has been cut off.” He then went on to how ‘’ sold 2 million albums and ‘O2′ sold only 200,000. “…Possibly because the band members decided to write their own songs.” He then went on to make fun of them some more and said, “I leave you with some heartfelt lyrics from …Is it all or nothing at all, there’s no where left to fall when you’ve reached the bottom its now or never.” And then he said, “I will try to recover from this.”

Where Have All The Boy Bands Gone?

Posted on October 20, 2003 by popdirt

Rick Anderson of the Toronto Star writes: “What ever happened to boy bands? You know, the Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, 98 Degrees, , 5ive and any other group of four or five doe-eyed cuties with smooth moves, great haircuts and the ability to break hearts with just a smile or an eye twinkle. Suddenly they’re obsolete, swept aside by highly sexualized rebellious hip-hop and R&B rappers who rob their preteen fans of their innocence. I’m not ashamed to yearn for the resurrection of boy bands, even if my 23-year-old heart is older and wiser than it was five years ago when I attended my first Backstreet Boys concert.”
