We didn't realize there were that many boy bands until we started touring in Europe. I don't think we were ever affected by it since a lot of the groups in Europe didn't really sing live, but we did and would perform a cappella as well.
I think that boy bands as a whole are really coming back.
Maybe it's because One Direction was just on 'SNL,' or because I'm playing The Wanted on my Top 40 show, but in terms of boy bands, we're seeing this resurgence, and it's happening, whether you like it or not!
With the success of Immature, I wanted to start the group B2K, which ended up being one of the biggest urban boy bands in history.
Boy bands should be exploded from a great height. They're just pretty people singing music written by others.
Look at the New Kids on the Block, the Back Street Boys and *NSYNC... all those boy bands happened because of New Edition.
I used to think when I was in the Go-Go's that we were as wild as any of the boy bands.
If I was president, of course I'd want an amendment banning boy bands, but it just wouldn't be right, and I wouldn't do it. Then again... I don't want to paint myself into a corner on this one. Let me think about it.
We've been gone five years and the best they could come up with was boy bands?
I'm over dudes trying to look like they're in boy bands.
