[@themelati89]

tbh, i love this version of US national athem. Even i'm not american.

[@dchang11]

Now we realized why BSB wanted to do the national anthem over the halftime show. I'd prefer the national anthem.

Its so rude of the fans start booing right when their name is called, have some respect, it takes a lot of guts to do something like this and they were awesome.

[@rosieasmrwhispererzephier7021]

I shook my head in disgust and anger when I heard some people booing the backstreet boys it is rude to boo at certain singers when they're performing the national anthem

Love how they say Most Successful group in the world...backstreet will always be the best..that's why they are still around...they have the greatest fans in the world..and we support them in every possible way! :)

[@NMeyer0]

My favourite Super Bowl anthem version! Awesome! BSB were extremely talented. Always liked them.

[@analauragonzalez5002]

I really think that they made the best call singing this ! They can actually sing without instruments and the fact that they felt it was an honor, showed so much respect for it so yes! They did great even with the glitch!

[@christinaserrano7681]

So glad Howie got to lead he’s been over shadowed so much

[@drowningfish7951]

I agree. IMO I think Howie had the best voice in the group and didn’t get to show case it enough. Sad but I still love BSB.

Is this the performance where their in ear monitors went out ant they couldn't hear each other? :|.... it was still perfection, their voices give me goose bumps every time!

[@justChillinRound08]

Hey, don't compare this performance to nsync. This was great! BSB could have sing this without musical instruments but it's not their call! It's the production call, and they just follow. But if they have a choice, they will definitely sing this in accapella. I've seen them singing national anthem in accappela and it was way better than nsync!

[@tojin]

N'SYNC = better dancers, N'SYNC = better chorus, N'SYNC = better voices than BSB. End of story.

[@rhandztagalicud7343]

BSB is better than NSYNC..period

[@kailmagee]

[@snk3377]

Nice Joke hahaha

[@collegegirl21]

Wow - I hadn't seen this for a while. That was amazing!

[@Priscilla3394]

Anyone who says BSB can't harmonize needs to get their ears checked. BSB can definitely harmonize. They are all not tenors. At this point in their careers, Nick and Brian were tenors. AJ is a baritone. Kevin is a baritone-bass. Howie can arguably be a tenor but he's really more of a counter tenor.

[@IndyTheGreat]

The harmonies in this performance were weak, Nsync did a much better job at this song. They had their parts clearly set out with Lance as a bass (much stronger at it than Kevin), Joey as a baritone, Justin and JC as tenors, and Chris as a countertenor (definitely better at it than Howie. He could hit higher notes and had a more girly sounding singing voice).

[@kathleenduggan9955]

Howie can sing Falsetto at times

[@itsjemmabond]

Kevin's voice isn't deep enough to be called bass.

[@Priscilla3394]

Kevin characterizes himself as a bass-baritone and I believe the other boys do too. Kevin can definitely hit bass notes. He can sing baritone too though such as when he does a lot of lead parts.

[@itsjemmabond]

Priscilla Consolo Really? Name one song in which he sings bass...

[@aguilacec]

Wow!! They did it greatly and very solemn. Good job, guys!

[@MichaelPhilipMaunes]

Backstreet Boys is my favourite boy band. All the way from Orlando, Florida; which is known as Florida's own boy band since 1993. Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, A.J. MacLean, and Kevin Richardson. Brian Littrell is my favourite member of the said boy band; and he's a devout evangelical Christian and a devout Baptist, like his wife Leighanne and their son Baylee.

[@dionnevargas358]

Loved Howie here.. Xx

[@Yasminh-]

somehow I have to think of some Disney Movie the way it sounds in here and Howie looks like the Prince of that Disney Movie hahahaha

They turned it down and Nsync got it

[@bsbduff]

excelente presentacion los amo chicos .. los mejores bsb :)

[@antoiner3820]

my boys killed it.

[@Reemzoud]

lol! all those saying that bsb can't sing acapella obviously do not know anything about them and they just want to hate for the sake of it. BSB are KNOWN to sing acapella and they sing well. They still do it during their concerts today. Before bashing them because you like N'sync better or wtv, youtube some of their videos because obviously you've never heard them sing. They are the best selling boyband in the world. And regardless of all the hate they have, no one can deny the fact that they have top notch harmonies, excellent individual voices and that they are simply the best. Im not saying this because I like them, its just facts.

[@YooAnne-rr7pn]

agree

[@EATeezey]

All true. Tbh if there's one "boy band" ppl do have massive respect for it's BSB. I know lots of ppl who aren't really fans but say that they were the best to come out of that boy band explosion. No one can deny that they have lots of talent.

[@BecsWorld]

Their mics went out....you cannot compare this performance to NSYNC's when there was a massive technical error going on. Watch their national anthem performance in 1993/94. Way better.

[@DireBox9990]

I suggest don't compare. Both are awesome!

[@emosnow2336]

not but maybe seriously thought have you seen Nsync’s national anthem performance? Mind blowing!

[@KrisKbob_Gaming]

[@nonbinarybaritone]

I'm not gonna bash the artist, that's not my intention. But, my credit goes to the orchestra that backs up an artist on every superbowl that had one. It seems that no gives credit to background instruments that give the song the shape in needs to be spectacular. Glorious sounds from the orchestra. High praise to all of you.

[@komgneh]

Love Howie.. gonna marry him.. in my dreams

[@jlyn1980]

Wow 1:04 a young Michael Strahan. Great job. It was simple and not over the top like too many singers do.

now that is how the anthem should be sang. not because it is the national anthem of the US. but because their voices match perfectly

[@EATeezey]

I'm surprised they sang this live (apparently Kevin's is the only mic that didn't go out). Since the Super Bowl is one of the most-watched events worldwide, everyone either opts or is told to prerecord it just in case stuff like mics going out happens. I know someone laid into the sound guy after this.
