I'm so glad I am not the only one. It felt like a crime. I just don't understand why are you guys assuming that everyone out of 6 billion people on this earth planet should know this so called boy band "Back Street Boys" I am pretty sure you are over hyping them because it didn't come naturally to me and I'm 22, live in the United Kingdom. And you are comparing to this 90's band to 1D especially within an era of social media there are everywhere I can not log in Tumblr without seeing a 1D gif set or fan art that goes within any other mainstream artists. And as for The Beatles their always release an album so many certain years to refresh this generation how legendary their once were. Where are Back Street Boys now? :anyone: Backstreet Boys are not a legendary band like Beatles, they are a commercialized vocal group who dominated the late 90s and early 00s and are not even currently relevant like 1D. You don't have to know them, you are from UK not America, you are male not a female who would have obsessed over them, your musical taste is concentrated in folk/country, not pop. They are nothing "great", just was very popular two decades ago.

I'm 23 and the backstreet boys were massive in the UK when I was younger. I don't think anyone is overhyping them, they were huge

Look I'm not generally a fan of BSB outside a few songs but they are in fact the best selling boy band of all time, selling over 130 million albums worldwide. Their album Millienium is one of the best selling albums of all time, selling over 30 million copies. No one is overhyping them. These are just the facts of how popular they really were back then. You had to have friends in school or something that knew of them, even when social media wasn't a thing yet. Maybe you were just living under a rock or something the whole time they were popular. Anyway, I do have to agree with blackstarghost that it seems like no matter what Avril releases it still doesn't fit the requirements fans want from her, even a song like Fly that was mature and had a mature theme with real instruments and people said the lyrics weren't good enough. It really does sometimes take the fun out of her releasing new material when basically, let's just admit it, most people here won't be happy with anything she puts out unless it's UMS 2.0 and I bet even then they'd still find something to complain about. I don't see the big deal about her releasing a song like this- it's not her song and she didn't even write any of the lyrics. So what does it matter if the lyrics are stupid or weird? She didn't write them. Not every single song she puts out has to be dark, depressing, sad, or angry ballads. If she only put out songs like this and HTNGU/RNR/HK, ok I'd be concerned, but it's just one song and it's not even her own. I personally downloaded it the morning it came out and have listened to it a few times and am enjoying it a lot. :thumbsup:

130 million records. I just don't understand why are you making a fuss? I seriously don't know them. You say that but sorry the band doesn't ring a bell especially within my childhood we both live different lives you know? and I swear that no one within my first school did not mention this band, not anyone and I swears on it. Even so I must have been in my little world like everyone within that age I was waiting for the next episode of Digimon. The only time I heard the name Back Street Boy's was on Buffy The Vampire Slayer season 6 "Bargaining" when Anya made a reference, but I just thought it was a tv show and now I understand the funny because I was wondering why Xander looked embarrassed in front of Tara and Willow now it makes sense. And I am currently laughing at the humour.

So back to Avril's and Nick's song. Am I the only one who thinks their voices are so great and harmonic together? As the voices blend together, it's awesome. Nick is better than Chad if I mean his voice. I think Chad's voice was too characteristic to Avril. But Nick has a softer voice and in this song, especially in the bridge, it's so great. No, you're not. One of the few reasons I like this song is because of how harmonic these two sound together. Their voices match really well imo. But I disagree that Nick is better than Chad vocally and that his voice was too characteristic to Avril's. I believe their voices matched just as well and that they sounded great together too.

I'm just saying I'm really surprised you and a few others have never heard of them considering they were essentially the 1D of the '90s. I'm just surprised and genuinely wondering how some of you have never heard of them, that's all.

^ Can we just agree you haven't heard from them and just move on? to me it seems like you're trying to derail threads.

I wonder if Nick will consider releasing Get Over Me as a single. Not so much for radio purposes, but publicity. I think it'd be really good for Avril, even if some don't like the song or think it'd be bad for her public image, at least it would get her some attention and give her something to promote. A music video and/or some live performances would be fun too. But I guess it would also depend where she's at with her health, if she'd feel up for any of it.
