BSB and NSYNC never were rivals. The media and the fans made it sound like they were. I met Joey Fatone once and asked him and he told me some of the members of both bands are really good friends with each other and there was no competition for attention. I'm proud to be a fan of Both!
Backstreet Boys is the most successful boyband! And take note, they are still making music now, so they are already in the music business for 20++ years. Backstreet Boys forever ❤️ ktbspa
speaking of backstreet boys music
i think its the fans that make backstreet boys big around the world and lou whats his name
howie must be doing something right in 2019
recording their own music on indepened record lable
and what next for howie to do he could be more fun and be a manager of backstreet boys
i become a fan in 1993 when backstreet boys crush on the interent
with their own music/fans
the only boyband that i knew of that to have fans on interent
@zt agree
Agree..
The Beetles are still the biggest group in the world but Backstreet Boy are second
Yaaas
He really said he was a member of the group lol
Yes,he did
He pay himself as the members of the group. He also pay himself as the manager of the group. Which means he pay himself more than the group members.
Classic narcissistic personality disorder in Lou.

BNO97 ! Crazy man

howie must be doing something right as a manager of backstreet boys
in 2013 backstreet boys recored their new album on a their own indepened recored lable
And music was still at its highest peak in the 90s and early 2000s
1942 AiSHA is a sing lelady Ab Only in Asia. In Asia people buy cds. Especially Japan
Lou’s neck tells the whole story
I will always be a Backstreet Boys Fan Forever ❤
Laura Meza yes!!!! Forevaaah!
@@JoyLangston I went to their concert on August of this year at Staples Center and I had so much fun
The creep just wanted to be around young boys
Backstreet boys are* still one of the most successful boy bands..
They **are** and always will be **the** most successful boy band. According to statistics at least.
They are the best selling boy band of all time
Actually they ARE the most successful, They're still the best selling boy band. Look it up.
I just finished watching that Lance Bass-produced RUclips original on Lou Pearlman this past week. It was really good. Now they're uploading this?!
yes i have seen/watch lance doco on lou pearlman a few days ago its worth watching to find out something new
i was wondering that same thing, that was good insightful documentary tho. cant belive that guy was such a snake.... well it show biz so i can!
Hes a true satanist, sucking souls out of people some mortal kombat fatality move where he climaxes in the mouths of his opponents and subjects
I actually subscribe to RUclips premium just to watch that and it was well worth it! Lance did a great job compiling the interviews and getting some lesser known information from all sides. It’s well worth the watch. I thought both bands were very talented back in the day but I was definitely an *NSYNC girl. It’s just crazy how they were pitted against each other all the time.
@@Annamarie40985 NSYNC
break up for ever around the same time
as backstreet boys went their own way in music
and stode the test of music time
howie came with a better bright idea
in 2013 backstreet boys recored new music on their indepened recored lable
in 2019/20 howie music doing something right as a manager of backstreet boys
doing more music/live shows
im 40, and I'm a proud fan of both!! They are absolutely different, they have never been rivals, and everyone who knows them separately will confirm my words!! They are the blast by themselves!! And if NSYNC comes back, they would make a triumphal blast from the past😇😇😇 God bless them all!!!
Lou Pearlman was the 6th man.... THOSE contracts they signed was crazy
lou who? speaking of contracts if they signed real 50/50 contracts manager gets 40% of the money
the rest goes to singers
lou made up fake recored deal with murcey records
lou get 90% of the money so lou can make or break boy bands
but the boy bands don't make real money from the music
did you know backstreet boys already have fans on interent in 1993
a hand full of songs recored on murcarey records
its the same fans that make backstreet boys lager the life
Annamariapiotrowicz i had a stroke trying to read that
@@padme2552 😆😆 Looks like somebody needs to work on their sentences more.
Backstreet boys all the way...legends
I was always team Backstreet Boys they have better songs and harmonies Nsync didnt last long anyway BSB still making platinum records and selling out arenas after 26 years together. BSB Legends indeed
True so its really prove that Nsync is only a copy cut of BSB and they lucky because of that aone gig that bsb turn down they got thier chance they should thank bsb for that...
@BNO97 ! Number 1 album in billboard 2019 after 26 year..stupid Nsync fan
@BNO97 ! if they are irrelevant the what about nysnc
Exactly ... lmfao
I grew up on both groups elementary SCHOOL 90s to 2000s backstreet boys came first and nsync second
True
Exactly
True..
Yeah. True.
I watched their DNA World Tour in Taipei... it was awesome... the best day of my life in Taiwan... a dream come true...😍😍😍
Backstreet Boys all the way!!!!
#BSBArmy always 😘♥️
Nsync should just go on tour. They don't need Justin. They could get by with JC on lead vocals, and then maybe borrow Jordan Knight or Matt Goss to sing Justin's parts. I just wanna hear JC sing these songs again 🙏
There is no I in *NSYNC :-)
No need to borrow from other bands..Chris and Joey can belt on high notes better than justin
@@royshaguillena9102 It's not just about high notes. The reason why it was always JC & Justin singing lead, is that they were the only two in the band with actual solo voices. They had very distinkt vocals, which shines through easily. Chris & Joey just don't have the x factor to pull that off. Joey sounds like a high school musical, and Chris is too nasal. So they definitely need someone else, with the same capacity as Justin, to trade leads with JC.
@@MichaelHolmgaard I think Chris and Joey also has a very good solo voices and can compliment JC's voice.. ppl just did not see that because they were not given that chance to show off their solo voices esp Joey..when I heard him doing solos and adlibs on their song "On the Line" with Mandy Moore, Bbmak etc, it made me think why they didn't gave Joey a chance to do more solos in NSYNC... he can belt on high notes so well... Justin cannot even belt on high notes, he always do falsettos to reach high notes...I think it's time for Chris and Joey to show what they got together with JC..and you are right, they don't need Justin
@@royshaguillena9102 I get that tehy can helt highh notes. But that's not all it takes to sin lead in the kind of band Nsync was. Joey & Chris have good backup voices, but og they sang solo, people would tire of them after 5 minutes. Singing lead is about having that voice with something extra. A voice that is recognisable and shines through. Even in the harmonies, the backbone of Nsync was JC & Justin. It was their voiced that melted together perfectly. Justin wasn't a skilled singer, but the volume he had in that falsetto was something you don't see often. Then you have JC, who Max Martin mentioned as the greatest male singer he ever worked with! That's what it takes to sing solo. Not just a good voice, but a recognisable voice. It's just like in Backstreet Boys, where Brian Littrell was pretty much the lead singer back in the day, while Howie was put in the backseet. Sure, Howie had a good voice, but he sounded like a ton og others singers in the industry. However, Brian had the x factor. The unique voice you get like once every 20 years in the pop industry. That's how it works
Loved both but BSB was hotter
Agree
Agreed, each and every member of BSB was attractive and could sing. *NSYNC on the other hand, I feel like only JC and Justin were the faces and voices of the group.
OBVIOSLY
NICK IS SOOOO YOUNG!!!
BSB FOREVAAAAAH!! Gaaah! I miss my grade school, high school & college days 😭😭😭😭 I’m now 38 geeesh 😭 We’ve got it going on for years! Ah ah ahh aooww! Hahaha yaaas!
Lol you made me sing
Wow, the training they did 😲
i have all bsb songs in my phone
Me too..
BSB is best known for "I want it that way" , whereas , NSYNC is best known for "Bye bye bye" .
@@yashbhagwat2664 No, you're wrong. BSB is known for so many great songs, I Want It That Way is the most iconic.
I was a fan of both groups. Still a fan of the backstreet boys.
Both are awesome in their own right in my Opinion Bsb had staying power and experience by the time Nsync hit the scene...but Nsync had expertly arranged Harmonies and their own youthful/energetic vibes.
i love the backstreet boys and new kids on the block
Cause step by step that makes you larger than life
Brandon bates I see what you did there😉😉
Backstreet Boys! Still waiting for them to come to NZ💙
Not gonna lie, I was a bit annoyed by NSYNC. But I was a dumb teenager. I'm still off the opinion that BSB is better, but NSYNC has their own charm.
I like both *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys
I loved the BSB and was annoyed when NSYNC first emerged, but then they came out with No Strings Attached. Game Over.
@@Missmagazinebura You can't love both!
@@itsjemmabond yes you can. Lou Pearlman was the one who pitted them against eachother so you are going along with a con man.
Backstreet boys
The Legend BSB
Not true!! I like both band equally!! Love listening to their songs. 😍
I never was a hater of any of these people and it’s a lot of work to hate in general. BSB had tremendous talent but *NSYNC...I did like their dancing and they had connected with me a little bit more. I think it is sad how they were pitted against each other so often because each had their own niche in the music industry even though they shared the same group of people in a lot of ways.
Not gonna lie Bsb was amazing.
*IS
Nah NSYNC is better .
And they still are. #legends
My childhood right there 🥰
I still adore both bands!!! JT was my first crush!
Though both boybands were rivals , but founder of both boybands was one , where he ended himself in prison and passing away in prison . After the founder's death , both the boy bands decided to publish his documentary , revealing each and every reality .
It'll always be Backstreet Boys
@nikki scissorhands yep
I still have both Backstreet Boys albums from 1997 and 1999.
The best BoyBand still the bestboyband EVER!!! the Biggest boy band of the world!!!
Yeah Backstreet Boys blows NSYNC away❤️#backstreetboysforever I love you guys
I was a very little girl when both bands came out so I loved them both but my house was more of a NSYNC household because I had a crush on J.C. and my older sister and friends all loved NSYNC better. But by time I was 9 I loved both. 😄
I watched this boy band documentary in the late 90's on MTV. Before the fall of Fat Pearlman. The moment I saw that gluttonous nightmare my young mind immediately thought, CON MAN. How could adults not see this...
I remember watching the same documentary on MTV too. I gave a nervous chuckle when they introduced him as the 6th member. I thought they were joking bruh wtf
Insane One there are a lot of scumbags in the music industry. They didn’t know he would steal from them.
NSYNC for life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🤣🤣🤣
NSYNC's Acapella version of oh holy night was beautiful. But I'm a fan of both.
BSB Forever ❤❤❤
Ugh Kevin....he was so handsome (but he still is)
ikr like
And now the world knows who the best selling boy band ever , and BSB still best 26 years ,and still work...
Umm this was already known dud
I mean, they’re the only band still together from the 90s...so that’s not much of a feat
The world already know that and its already cemented in the Hollywood walk of Fame...
Longevity and success speaks for itself. N'sync ran out of steam because they were more focused on their image and their brand versus letting each member shine individually. They also kept the focus on JC and Justin (sonically and visually) while the rest of the band faded into the background, kind of like Nicole with the Pussycat Dolls. Their chemistry was off too, you can tell they didn't bond in real life and were a packaged pop product of the era. It's evident in their old interviews. BSB had the formula and the talent. The fact BSB is still making music to this day is enough to shut down this argument FOR GOOD. BSB won. Periodt lol 😎👍
While I agree that NSYNC's bond wasn't as strong as the one Backstreet Boys have, I don't think it's fair to say it was fake or that they didn't care about each other cause they did
this is the most wrong argument i’ve ever read in my life. if you want to tear down another group to boost up your own, at least include correct info. delusional
I like about The Backstreet Boys we see all five of them sing a part of a song Nsync it was only JC and Justin singing all the parts of the song
I wanted to have the ring earring & hair like Nick back in elementary
Team N'sync!
Did ABC just watch the RUclips Documentary LOL
they were both great groups, I was happy to have both, and if they dropped albums dropped staggered that worked too
I loved/love both 🥰
Backstreet Boys hits harder
Nope
Have you heard Pop? No Strings Attached?
True no one better than bsb..
Yes
Wow, all the Asian and Korean boy bands basically got their root idea from these guys.
@utubegirl I think we still go a little farther back.
@utubegirl amazing..
You forgot Jodeci who Nsync actually they stole that singing in the rain video from that abc is crediting as their idea. Soul 4 real and Hi-five. In the 80's/90's the music scene was so segregated that it was easy for white artists to steal creations from black artists while the original true artists labored in relative obscurity. Madonna stole her entire like a Virgin wardrobe from Jody Watley. I bet no one knows who she is. Everyone knows Maddona.
@@nyizzle4533 whatever happened to soul 4 real. 🤔
@@onetwo6039 the lead singer hit puberty.
I'm a teen and I love both bands, but I love nsync the most. Justin and Lance are my favorite members
I wish i can see kevin as aladdin 😩
I like both Nsync and Bsb. You go fight.
Meet me outside!
90s boy band is the best
8:43 LOL wtf that's new kids on the block !!
I remember how fucking intense the fan wars got lol. First time I ever punched someone was when they told me BackStreet Boys suck.😅😅😅😅😅😅
That’s definitely NKOTB at 8:44😂😂😂
Without backstreet boys there would be no nsync
For everybody wondering why this was posted now on 12/13...20/20 had a 2 hour special about Lou Pearlman and the boy bands
Random Fact: Pearlman died, while still in custody at the Federal Correctional Institution in Miami, Florida. Only 5 minutes away from my house.
Good riddance!
Dude at 4:44 never heard of Boyz II Men or New Edition apparently
Watch the whole documentary here on RUclips, The Boyband Con.
It was a great documentary! Lance did a wonderful job compiling the interviews and getting the information from a relatively non-biased group of people. Obviously this man did a lot of things wrong, Lou Perlman, but this documentary really does shed light on the entirety of what happened. I recommend it!
@@Annamarie40985 I watched it too and it was a good documentary.
I love both but yes there were rivals .
*NSYNC
BACKSTREET BOYS FOREVER
BSB Forever!!! Loved JC in NSYNC, that was about it.
BsB still the best
BSB was so famous all over the world starting 1995 not just in Germany.
Wheres the OTown crowd at? lol
😂😂
They were mentioned in the RUclips documentary and one of the members spoke up.
Can you please upload the full thing on Netflix??
Seeing bsb in feb 2020!!!
Kevin was playing Aladdin at Disney Land??? What?!?! This information I did not know lol
I think Howie played him too!
Backstreet Boys always #1 they all can sing... *NSYNC ... two singers give me live footage of Joey singing please...
Am i the only one who loves *nsync more then bsb?
Uh no. Millions of other people do to
Yes you are one of the few people who think NSync is better than BSB.
I had a New Kids on the Block bath towel and diary 😊
That’s how I screamed every time I saw stone cold Steve Austin!
Backstreet boys 1997 still backstreet boys in 2022😡💞❤💚
8:46 Did nightline put a NKOTB PICTURE? Nightline come on!
Lol
Backstreet is the superior
Backstreet Boys is the best! #BestSellingBoybandOfAllTime 🖤💙
Wow Lou a genius good and bad
I loved both I'm cool lol
Bottom line both groups are very talented in their own styles and shouldn't be compared
love love the backstreet boys but i do like a few nsync songs thou
Yeah
BSB members rarely seen on interviews when it involves Lou, other than on their own 2015 documentary...
They're too busy working
Exactly... they do their own thing, rather than jumping into the crowded bandwagon✌...
They seem super hurt by it. I like how AJ was able to share their side & support Lance's documentary
I’m🤯 had no clue the man made 2 groups that rivaled each other just what?!
Lol fans know this.
O-Town anyone?
❤❤❤❤❤
He is a blimp!
Oh yeah new kids on the block late 80s and early 90s.
Really popular mid 80s through late 80s.
Their legendary rivalry... that wasn't a rivalry AT ALL.
Their ACTUAL legendary rivalry was against Lou Pearlman!!
🎶 Larger Than Lou! 🎶
2:04 says every person and producer in korea ever.. (every guy there seems to be part of a boyband these days)
LOL at Nsync singing a BSB song at 7:14 -15
I was here 4both bands.
