The other night I was watching the Diamond Jubilee Concert when JLC came onto the screen. Who the F are JLS? They slow walked in time with the beat, four guys all in unison. I said to myself, ew they are doing that small amounts of colour coordination on each of their outfits thing. They had slicked back hair and each one had their own "personality/syle". Once their high pitched harmonies and lame love song lyrics pumped my ear drums I realised. Oh God a boy band!

They aren't the only ones either, One Direction, The Wanted, boy bands are back with a vengence. With tweenage quiver inducing lyrics like, "The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed". I really don't get the late night stake outs, the teenage girl hordes crying over the prospect of viewing one of their favourite idols.
That was until I read that a friend was going to see the Backstreet Boys concert. Flashbacks of me in my room practise kissing my BB poster. Dreaming of running away with Kevin, the strong brooding type. Pretty boys like Nick Carter never did it for me. Nights I spent pressing rewind on my VHS so I could learn all the words to "As Long As You Love Me" or the dance moves to "Everybody". So yeah maybe I do understand the appeal.
So heres a flash back from the past peeps. Do you know all the words? I do.
