BSB on the Today Show 2001 Full

[@chrispleasantable]

Black & Blue is by far one of the best albums the Backstreet Boys have ever made!

[@chrispleasantable]

Who doesn't?

[@hjbjms8235]

it's my favorite. just the right amount of dark dance songs and lighthearted ballads

[@musiclover_kb4913]

It's my favorite album of theirs

[@chrispleasantable]

@@musiclover_kb4913 Hitting number 1 on the US Billboard 200 chart and being certified 8x platinum

[@chrispleasantable]

@Jeff Keyes Over 175 million albums sold worldwide

[@BradTYTH]

AJ was on fire that day. Slayed all his verses!!!! Literal chills!! 🤘

[@ไอ้พวกอิสลาม]

AJ always slays ❤🎉

[@broadwaymike92]

Crazy during that week.... Kevin saved AJ's life and then AJ checked into rehab.

[@otismack5748]

Backstreet Boys are definitely a MUST for a music biopic after all they went through

[@allanmhanson]

7:59 It actually sucks that US got their first two albums as a compilation. Black & Blue was their 3rd album for the US and 4th for the rest of the globe. The original Backstreet Boys album is my favorite, an R&B collection, their original sound, Brian as the lead singer dominating songs like Beyoncé did in Destiny’s Child. It couldn’t be better.

[@o_grazh7176]

Brian Litrell the Best 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@haleyferguson1642]

In the 3rd grade I wanted to marry Kevin, Brian was my backup though. Now I’m with some guy named Dan. What the fuck guys?!

[@AlMaDines]

I don't think they know how awesome they are like perfect ❤❤❤

[@TheBrisnana]

I want to hear more from Howie

[@patriciabrower532]

He,s the bomb! ❤️🌹👍

[@handsomeX]

Yup. And Kevin too.

[@ipod9771]

It sucks their music began to die down. I guess they had to shake the boy band image. They are such a vocally talented group. Glad to see them having a buzz again in 2017. Excited to here a new album

[@shravdoesstuff]

new album will be around this year (around this april or may)

[@broadwaymike92]

LMFAO at 4:53 - Howie biting Nick's arm

[@cristianoluiz8390]

Grande época dos backstreet boys 1999 2000 e 2001

[@thegoodguy5369]

AJ and Nick always play the harmony of every song

[@chrispleasantable]

Well sometimes they each get to sing lead in fact the primary lead singers of the Backstreet Boys are Brian, AJ, and Nick

[@dchang11]

chrispleasantable Brian and AJ are the core. Nick balances the harmonies. Howie backs up Nick with the falsetto while Kevin complements AJ with the bass.

[@handsomeX]

This was one of their weaker live performances. It sounded like they were having technical issues with the sound/mics.

[@ayumicayabyab3161]

Bsb.. b rok forever..

[@MariaLopez-vx5yd]

Nunca les conocí y llevo ventitantos años siguiéndolos que suerte han tenido

[@dchang11]

This was right before AJ’s rehab announcement. In 2001, they were the biggest group in the world. Little did the group knew, their super stardom was starting to catch them. 9/11 hit a couple of months later. This video is almost a reminder of the innocence of that era. Sadly, the group lost a roadie in the attacks.

[@NickyD]

but they were still popular after 9/11 wtf are you talking about in 2019 there still selling out arenas

[@cranesinthesky1240]

Nicky D chill, I think OP is referring to the death of the boy band craze and the lack of popularity they held as opposed to before until recent years. Idk why fans jump at ppl who are truthful in saying that they lost the popularity they once had after around 2002

[@NickyD]

@@cranesinthesky1240 backstreet boys never lost popularity there the only boy band still around selling out arenas your wrong they never lost any popularity

[@kansasjayhawk8386]

Sadly he was probably high and or drunk here.

[@gloryleeschelmettytorres4129]

WoW I Dont know that Brian habed a Heart surgery in 1998, woow many health problems to him, later voice conditions

[@Nickfansclubwithmember]

I love you Nick

If I was his teenage daughter, she'll tell her dad who brought a big gallon of milk and says... "Daddy, We're on TV because you're embarrassing me."

[@gasarockband]

Wtf! XD

[@powepuffstarlightfairy]

The black bodyguard grab Brian's arm during the video.. Dude, it's showtime, you can finish the fans' autograph later.. And that zebra shirt tho..

[@o_grazh7176]

So what? T-shirt as a T-shirt, do you have a personal dislike for Brian? Brian Littrell is a good man, a great singer, a cheerful and athletic guy, has had so many problems since childhood and nevertheless remained a kind and cheerful guy, does not lose heart!!! And when the aftographs are distributed to him, it's up to him to decide, and not to the black guard, in Brian's place, this guard should have been sent to fuck!!!

[@domc9026]

@22:37 he must've felt terrible for his camera 😂😁

[@elvirai3887]

Brian, why zebra?

Performances were badly recorded. At that time AJ was hell on drugs. Went to rehab soon after this.

Bom diaaaa bom final de semana AAA braiam sempre braiammm

They were on top at the time but i’m not a fan of the songs selection in this mini concert tbh They should’ve replaced Time with Get Another Boyfriend or Everyone for starters.

[@jennysmith589]

They started to decline because of awful live performances like this nick sounds terrible and gives awful effort

[@ไอ้พวกอิสลาม]

​@@jennysmith589 They started to decline because Brian and Kevin were married already in 2000 at the height of their career. That's not a good move specially they are a boyband.

[@misselaneous2774]

I don't understand why BSB fans try to claim they were stronger vocalists than NSYNC. It's performances like this where you can hear that, while they are good, they definitely aren't stronger than NSYNC. There's a reason why NSYNC went out on top. 👀

[@misselaneous2774]

@@shargreen9950 I think you are confusing "still being together" with "being better vocalists". Those two things are clearly not the same. 😅

[@misselaneous2774]

@@shargreen9950 again... that's only because Bsb never broke up though and not because they are actually better. I've seen enough performances from both to know which group was stronger vocally, and I'm a fan of both, but its obvious that there's more talent in nsync and that's why I chose them. There's a reason why people in the music industry said nsync were better, and there's a reason why they went out on top. The best groups always break up though - and that's okay. It sucks for the fans, but they wanted to move on to other stuff.

[@misselaneous2774]

@@shargreen9950 as I mentioned before, I am a fan of both bands, but I chose nsync as my #1 because of the fact that they were more talented vocally. So my decision of which one was better wasn't biased because that's literally how I came to choose my favorite. They are both good though, but when you compare their vocals in accapellas, nsync clearly wins, which again, is why they are my favorite. ✌

[@misselaneous2774]

@@shargreen9950 I actually am a fan of both... and me acknowledging that nsync was stronger isn't putting bsb down. They are good, just nsync is better. It's not a big deal or something to get upset about. But I guess it's a sore spot for some people though, but I don't really see why it's a problem. Bsb doesn't have to be the best vocalists to still be considered good.

[@misselaneous2774]

@@shargreen9950 I've already explained that my opinion of which group was better isn't biased, because I formed that opinion before I had a favorite and I've seen many performances of both. You can also go back and see that at no point did I say that bsb wasn't good. I just said nsync was better and you took it like I was saying bsb was no good. Lol that's why I'm glad I didn't delete my comments. Read my initial comment again and you'll see. 😉

[@lp-gs7yu]

I m a bsb fan. Their vocals are excellent.But after I saw this today show, I guess we know why the *NSYNC raises at that time.Before this there is another today show performing by *NSYNC in a very close period of time . I have to say it was much better one. You can check it out on KZbin

[@omgxwtfxily]

l p AJ literally went into rehab a week after this. Things were a bit of a mess.

[@ria1606roy]

AJ sounded so weak here understandably....compared to his better day performances....still he sang so much better than majority of today's singers. Only young male singer comparable to them today is Bruno Mars.
