<< Okay, this doesn't have much to do with singing, but I was just wondering
if
anybody else likes the Backstreet Boys. I'm a huge fan of theirs and I've
been getting really mad at critics lately who say they shouldn't be
nominated
for any Grammy's just because they are a "teen group". I really don't think
they are a "teen group" any more, even if they were in the past. I also
hate
when people think that teen = no talent. Let me know what you think on the
subject...

I'm a fan! I totally agree when you say that they are underrated! You have a
band/vocal group who sells TEN MILLION albums in less than 10 months, and
then people say things like "They're NOT talented!" and people wonder why
we're upset? I love all sorts of music--Enya, Sarah Mclachlan, Backstreet
Boys, Tori Amos, and lots of other stuff! =-)

I get very upset when people underrate "us teens," especially since we're
"the future" of our country... I also agree that the Backstreet boys are not
a "teen group," because they're not teenagers! I wish that people would try
to rate the BSB's for their ability to make people happy, musical talent, and
so much more, not as just a little "Teen Group!" Well, there are my 2 cents!
Comments/Questions are welcome =-)
