Howie D Takes Center Stage In “Lie To Me”

Wed Nov 30 2011 by Idolator Staff
You already know what went into the making of Howie D's "Lie To Me" video: The Cazhhmere-directed clip for his second Back to Me single was shot in Toronto and guest-stars Canadian rockers Neverest (who, don't forget, are managed by the Backstreet Boys alum). Now take all that knowledge and apply it to the full-length performance-faithful version, which places the onetime quintet member stage front, bathed in warm yellow light as he belts out the soaring "I Want It That Way"-reminiscent ballad. Watch it below. More »

Backstreet Boy Howie Dorough Drops Ballad “Lie To Me” Ahead Of Solo LP

Tue Oct 4 2011 by Robbie Daw
The good news for Backstreet Boys fans: the band is heading into the studio to record their eighth studio album. (When they said Backsteet's back, they meant for good, folks!) The better news for followers of all things BSB: to tide you over ahead of the arrival of that LP, Boy-bander Howie Dorough will offer up his solo set Back To Me on November 14. EW Music Mix premiered the synth ballad "Lie To Me" off the album today, and at first the opening guitar chords give us a "I Want It That Way" vibe, before getting completely, uh, "Incomplete" on us. Not bad, Howie. Give a listen at the EW link above.


Backstreet Boys Get “Lost In Space” On New Song

Tue Sep 20 2011 by Becky Bain
God bless the Backstreet Boys, still trudging along after all these years. They memorably merged with also long-ago-peaked boy band New Kids On The Block in hopes of scoring a revival based on pure nostalgia, but it now seems like BSB is willing to upgrade to current trends to stay afloat on the more-than-bloated pop scene. Evidence: new electronic-tinged song "Lost In Space", produced by Jim Jonsin. Blast off below. More »

We are heartbroken at the news that Amy Winehouse was found dead in her home earlier today. Not surprisingly, many of her fellow musicians are, too. Hordes of artists took to Twitter to celebrate the talented but troubled performer, who, as Lance Bass, Big Boi, and others pointed out in their tweets, died at the same fatal age as Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Jim Morrison. Head below to hear the sorrowful words of Amy's contemporaries.

Boy Bands Are Making A Comeback On Lance Bass’ New VH1 Reality Show

Sun Jun 19 2011 by Idolator Staff
Move over, ladies and solo gents — the boys are back in town. Or so former 'N Sync member Lance Bass is hoping, since he's putting together a new reality show in which newly-created boy bands vie for a shot at, um, relevance in a world that has long since moved past the 90's and early 00's obsession with four or five dreamy dudes crooning their hearts out sans instruments. (At least he's not trying to act again.) So, in addition to the occasionally glam Bass, which of your favorite Tiger Beat poster pull-outs of yesteryear will be making an appearance on the VH1 Voice-esque competition? Find out below.

Fri Jun 3 2011 by Robbie Daw
The dance moves are a tad dated and their hair is a bit thinner, but New Kids On The Block and Backstreet Boys had the screaming female crowd that showed up at Rockefeller Plaza for their Today Show concert partying like it was 1989 and 1999 anyway.

Tue May 17 2011 by Becky Bain
Congrats, ladies, you've got yet another dimpled face to swoon for on the NKOTBSB tour. Glee's butt-chinned show choir teacher Matthew Morrison, who is embarking on his own solo tour this June and July, will be opening for Backstreet Boys and New Kids On The Block beginning July 6 in Anaheim. We couldn't think of a better opening act for this nonet of men, as Morrison already knows a thing or two about boy bands. [Via Neon Limelight]
