MILLENNIAL HOUR |Backstreet Boys - I Want It That Way REACTION!

[@NightmareKhaos]

To this day I am actually still a Backstreet Boys fan because they had a Lotta good music

[@melanielucas4155]

Backstreet Boys are the best! Never like N'Sync or 98 degrees

[@spirittammyk]

@@melanielucas4155 Same here. I feel like the BSB were brought together by fate, and stayed together for us, the fans. The other boy bands were using the genre as stepping stools to their solo careers, and it showed.

[@nefertariwinchester3177]

Me too!!

[@oceankuhn9785]

Same. Love their music

[@saraelisabeth9038]

I was obsessed with them and they still hold a place in my heart. Simpler times. They were between 27 and 19 at the time

[@tghost739]

Yes... Nick was the youngest at 19 and his voice had matured. Loved them. They were so 🔥

[@allthatsheiz]

Wooooooow. So now they are tipping 50. Damn I’m getting old y’all 😔 😂😂😂

[@Anakinskywalkerfan1]

Howie was the oldest I believe

[@mattdick1883]

Nelly Furtado, "I'm Like A Bird"... that's the earworm you're looking for...

[@callmelyn73]

I knew right away...lol. Probably gonna get stuck in my head now. Thanks Billy.

[@karengertis7833]

Ah simpler times when the only thing causing division was the war of the boy bands.

[@brezzainvernale]

Don't forget the internet explosion and the Great Recession... and Twin Towers just a few years later...

[@RitsychServare]

More like the war of the boy bands' FANBASE.

[@organisedchaosxo]

Bopping and singing away as usual to these nostalgic classics. My teenage life was filled with boybands from the 90s/2000's.

[@Shaharalyn1977]

There were a lot of boy bands in the '80s too except they were mostly r&b so nobody really knew about them like the black community

Line that always comes up... "It wasn't me!" -Shaggy

[@cyndigirl418]

Yes, AJ was always the one feeling it! Going the EXTRA mile with expression! 😁😁😁

[@kctexan]

Nick Carter was the youngest at age 19. Kevin Richardson was the oldest at age 28.

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

I had a crush on him lol, also Kevin...:D

[@tghost739]

I had a big crush on Nick Carter as a teenager. Still love them.

[@tghost739]

They were all beautiful💙 Especially, Nick Carter... Even till this day he is a beautiful person

[@jaames6719]

hes 16 in this vid

[@jarrettfinney4882]

Oh my god... Lol I had no clue Kevin was that old. Im 28 now. I knew he was the oldest, but I was thinking more like 21 at the most

[@Michelle-DiPalo]

I've been a BSB fan for over 20 + years and everything you commented on is so on point. I'm laughing so hard.

[@rondag.3761]

When this song released in 1999 Brian Littrell was 25, A.J. McLean was 21, Nick Carter was 19, Howie Dorough was 26, and Kevin Richardson was 28

[@mommyspikervlogs792]

[@latrice5108]

I was mainly an NSync fan but i will give backstreets boys credit. Everyone got a chance to sing in in their songs. Whereas in Nsync, it was mainly Justin and JC singing the lead vocals.

[@rephaimsadrick9458]

*NSYNC are u kidding me!!!!!! Backstreet Boys Are W there way better than *NSYNC

[@rephaimsadrick9458]

Backstreet Boys have way better songs then *NSYNC

[@creinicke1000]

As a mom who took my teen and preteen daughters to many concerts.. including BSB.. I always appreciated the singing skills of the boys without foul language. I started watching Korean boy Bands and. Dramas about 10 years ago...( I think they originated the concept in many ways) and I still love SS501 (5 boys that are still great performers).

[@salwaonto8378]

They're LEGENDS. No one else comes close to them!

[@gojl5567]

New Kids on the Block - Boys in the Band - all the references are hysterical

PLEASE!!!!!!!

[@courtneyvial3799]

YES!!

[@ashleywalters7960]

Try Everybody (Backstreets Back) the dude you thought looked like dr strange is dr jekyll lol close!

[@BradTYTH]

AJ is the X-Factor that kept BSB from being comparable to other bands. He had the style, swagger, dance moves and the voice. AJ was a showman through and through.

[@hopet7090]

A song phrase that always pops into my head is from lion king 2 “DECEPTION DISGRACE .. evil as plain as the scar on his face” it’s now a running joke between me and my sister

[@saramiles7379]

Omg SAME!! My sister and I cannot keep a straight face AT ALL when one of us just spouts that line out LMAO 😂😂😂

[@Kristal-tn3tb]

This was one of my two favorite songs from the movie. The other being We Are One.

[@lizaanual9166]

This song is still a banger even after 30 years.

[@noemistephanie93]

This song is from 1999 aka 24 YEARS AGO

[@rachelwarner3745]

Best memory of this song was a few years ago at a ADTR concert. This song played right before they came on and the entire crowd was singing it. You saw big burly metal dudes, emo kids, moms/dads who were there with their kids-EVERYBODY was singing this song word for word. Good times 🤘🏻

[@shamus248]

I love that....so wholesome

[@hibhibb5429]

AJ McLean, the one with the tattoos, has the best voice out of all of them. That man has so much soul in his voice. His sound is incredible. I wish he would put out a solo album of him singing soulful songs. You should check out his song "BOY AND A MAN". He and his wife are both featured in the video for the song.

[@Izaan2810]

I mean, objectively when it comes to singing, Nick is their best singer by a long shot.... Vocally that guy right now definitely has the top class vocals and can do things, I am sure no one in Boybands can do. His Masked Singer stint is just hard to top vocally. Plus he is their best live singer.

[@flavia_barcellos]

@@Izaan2810 nick was a very immature and unskilled vocalist for most part of their prime years, he got better with the years, but Brian and AJ are undoubtedly the best singers here. Brian is probably the best, that's because he always got the best parts and high notes.

[@youtubefan2909]

I agree love the way he sounds when he sings

[@GiaSesshoumaru]

The Backstreet Boys are (in order of solos): Brian, Nick, AJ, Kevin, and Howie. This was released in, what, 1999? Nick is the youngest and he was 19. Kevin is the oldest, and he was 27 (turning 28 that year.) Check out more BSB, they're awesome! Love the reaction!

[@meahdahlgren6537]

❤

[@melanielucas4155]

That boy you said going to church with the hat on is AJ...in my opinion the best voice of all of them!

[@jennyborgman5767]

My favorite member of the Backstreet Boys is Brian Littrell because he's as amazing singing voice. Brian sings like a angel. Brian got the better singing voice than the other members of bsb. Brian is the sweetest and the kindest guy.

[@Izaan2810]

Actually lol. He is definitely not better than Nick or AJ for sure.

[@armimi17]

I AGREE

[@NotSoTypikal]

Was obsessed, STILL obsessed!!! My fave Boy Band group ever!!! 👌

[@shannonpeavoy135]

BSB will never get old I love them and always will.

[@TheMysticObservatory]

This is not only the first Backstreet Boys Song I heard on the radio, but this was also the first Backstreet Boys Music Video I ever watched! And of course, this will always be my favorite Backstreet Boys Song of all time!😁

[@amandaribofpalmetto]

"I'm like a bird, I want to fly away!" Is Nelly Furtado 'I'm like a bird'

[@deborahdennehy9937]

I was 33 at the time (1993). They continued singing for 2 years then broke up. They (not all) re-released their music & are still going strong!!

[@chicoronny6454]

I Want It That Way is a universal song. A worldwide hit single

[@jellybean-1423]

That is AJ with the feelings. He was going through alot for real.

They were my first concert in 2000 and saw again in 2015, and they will forever have a place in my heart.

[@jessicasimpson7166]

Loved the backstreet boys!! My first CD I ever got

[@theConquerersMama]

Oh our baby owes a lot to these boys. Thanks for the good grooves.

[@Wilmeiser]

The song you're thinking of is, "I'm Like a Bird" by Nelly Furtado.

[@Dramapool]

i still love to change the lyrics to "i dont swing that way" when i hear this song

[@meghanmonroe]

This is an absolutely accurate portrayal of BSB fan behavior. I was one of the hysterical crying masses lol I used to go to their concerts and weep like I lost a family member or something. It was all very overwhelming. And while I'm nobody's mother (thank god), I'm certainly old enough to be. As for their ages, in this video they were 27, 26, 24, 21, and 19.

[@Aliciaaa87]

😂😂 when he said "you might not be the mother of THEIR children like you thought you would be"...I felt that lol

[@amybowens1503]

I love these guys! Just saw their DNA world tour in Cincinnati. It was fantastic! They were fantastic!! They work their tails off and their fans love them all the more! I will go to their shows when they and I are geezers with wheelchairs. That's funny to think about but I am totally serious. BSB 4Life!!!!!

[@webdar55]

I love it when a group showcases each one of their voices. Have always loved these guys and I'm old enough to be their Momma, in today's world!

My favorite is AJ.. the one you said kept feeling the song lmao

[@BethanySchmidtEsthetics]

I’m 44 and a mama of a 23 & 25 yo. And yes, I was a BB Stan when I was their age!

[@ashleydowney1222]

I love this song. I started listening to them in 1998. Brian and Kevin are from my hometown of Lexington, Kentucky. Brian was 23, Kevin was 27, AJ was 20, Howie was 25, and Nick was 18 when this song was recorded. I got the Millennium album for my 7th birthday.

[@ginamarandino6451]

There were so many great boy bands back then but my favorite is Boyz II Men hands down they're harmonies are so dead on! My second favorite is definitely the backstreet boys

My best friend and I saw them in Vegas. They showed out! It was so fun and would love to see them live again.

[@haleyanne86]

I was a BSB (Backstreet Boys) fan back in the day, but not anymore. It was funny when you commented about Howie's hands in front of his face: "what happened? The sun came out?" 🤣😂

[@Mr79Man]

Good reaction Billy. The main difference from BSB and other copies is that these guys considered themselves a vocal harmony group. They all could sing. At this time approximate ages were: Nick 18, AJ 20, Brian 23, Howie 25, and Kevin 26.

[@hippiechic6772]

Hey Billy... I have many random songs that a sentence or phrase is in that run thru my mind at any given time. The song could be from literally anywhere and if it is likable enough to me it most likely will stick ; now as far as the Backstreet Boys go... "I don't care who you are, where you're from, what you do." gets stuck in my head often and that is from their song "As Long As You Love Me" . Thank you Bill for your reaction here I look forward to many more .

You asked what line get stuck in our head. Every time someone says "But in the meantime...", in my head, I complete the phrase with "...it's Jimmy Iovine time". Every. Single. Time. That line (But in the meantime, it's Jimmy Iovine time) is from Eminem's song Love Me.

[@kingsjourney2145]

Brian Littrell was 24 A.J. McLean was 21 Nick Carter was 19 Howie Dorough was 25 Kevin Richardson was 27 Simply because this song was released on April 12, 1999. And they started recording this 6 months prior to the release date. Fun fact I was 4 at the time 😌
