Backstreet Boys, New Kids on the Block, and Possibly Boyz II Men to Join Forces for Ultimate Boyband Tour




According to JustJared.com, 90's pop groups The Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block are in negotiations to tour together this year. The tour will be run by Live Nation, who announced that they are also currently trying to get Boyz II Men to join the bandwagon. JustJared.com also stated that the management teams for The Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block are also trying to arrange for the boy bands to create a duet together.

Are you excited for a BSB/NKOTB/Boyz II Men tour? Would you like to go and see any or all of these bands perform as a way to relive your childhood and/or the 90's Pop Generation, or are you so over these bands?

I was never really a fan of NKOTB or Boyz II Men, but I remember freaking out trying to get tickets to BSB back in the day (sadly I still haven't made it to one of their shows). I wouldn't mind trying to see them again today though! K.T.B.S.P.A.!!!!

Mitchell Musso is the REAL Star of Hannah Montana


Anyone living in 2009 knows that Miley Cyrus is undoubtedly one of the biggest celebrities on the planet. Miley has her own TV show, Hannah Montana, her own clothing line, and she's a multi-platinum selling recording artist. You can not walk into a store without seeing Miley, or her TV show personality, Hannah Montana,'s face on at least one item. However, Miley Cyrus should not be regarded as being the "star" of Hannah Montana.

Mitchell Musso, who plays the part of Oliver Oaken on Hannah Montana is the real star.

Musso's acting credentials extend far beyond Hannah Montana. Some other shows that Mitchell has acted in are Phineas and Ferb and King of the Hill. He has also played roles in movies such as Monster House, Secondhand Lions, and Life is Ruff.

Like Cyrus, Musso has also experimented with the music business. During the summer of 2009 Musso's self-titled debut album was released. It did not sell nearly as well as Cyrus' records, mainly because it lacked the funding and publicity that Cyrus was granted. However, Mitchell is much more musically talented than Cyrus. Cyrus's music holds a sound that can easily be compared to 90's pop music moguls like N'sync, Backstreet Boys, or Mandy Moore. Cyrus is all the rage now, but a few years down the road she will be another forgotten memento of tween music fandom, while Musso's music will still be fresh in our minds. Musso's music contains pure, raw, talent that Cyrus lacks. Cyrus is nothing more than a manufactured product, while Musso proves through his music that he is the real deal.

Don't believe me? Check out the video for Musso's song, Shout it Out and let me know your opinions on it!

New Backstreet Boys Video Debuts, But is a Disappointment.


Everyone's favorite boy band from the 1990's, The Backstreet Boys, are back! There new single, "Straight to my Heart" began to hit radios a few weeks ago. It is OK, but not great, especially when compared to some of the Backstreet Boys older songs such as "Shape of my Heart" or "The One". The video however, is hideous. Apparently The Backstreet Boys didn't get the memo that the 1990's are over. The dance moves and the bubblegum pop music is from another time period that is now lost in the past. The only thing modern about this video is the new vampire trend, but even that doesn't make sense. Vampires are usually thought of being dark, depressing, and gothicy. It would make much more sense to see vampires in a Marilyn Manson music video than a Backstreet Boys video. It's just weird. I don't think the Backstreet Boys are headed towards the right path for a comeback at all. I think their new album will be a failure.

Here's the new video:

What do you think of the song/video? Will you buy their new album?
