I remember exactly what I was doing the first time I heard BSB, or should say saw, because it was a music video. It was 1997 and I was actually out of town visiting family. The video for ALAYLM came on and I loved it, but honestly didn't think about it until a few months later when I was shopping for CDs and saw their cd. I got it, and the rest is history. I fell in love with the cd, and from that point on bought every one they released.
Its easy to be a BSB fan. I mean, besides the fact that they are gorgeous eye candy, they have talent, and they don't compromise that. My daughter has grown up listening to their music, and I'm not scared to just hand her a BSB cd and say "Here, go listen to this." How many artists can you say that about now?
People make fun of me for still listening to BSB, and it use to bother me, but I've gotten past that. They crack about how boybands are sooooo over, and I just laugh. I mean, honestly, aren't they a harmony vocal group? Don't people still listen to the old groups like the Temptations, the Four Tops, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, etc.? How is that any different? I think that if BSB so chooses, they'll be around for a very long time, and I'll be a fan every step of the way.
