    The best thing BSB could do is leave Jive and since they can't break their contract, let Jive drop them. They should've left Jives years ago. Jive is responsible for much of the bad single choices, etc…

  30. Forest says – reply to this


    30

    That's the business. They weren't smart enough to pull a Justin or Christina and switch shit up. The rode that wave for too long before trying to do something new. If they were smart about their biz they'll be alright. They can probably still make a hefty profit touring on a smaller scale. Proof positive: you can't stay hot forever.

  31. willa says – reply to this


    31

    This is a strange news because they sell good…
    Anyway, selling or not, fans will still go to the concerts
    Call me a freak, but I still love their music

    Rude. That CD is fabulous. It was not advertised enough

    and PS… Never Gone was very successful for them so I really don't know what you're talking about.

    Good for BSB if they get away for Jive,cause jive havent done anything for them in years.
    bsb is the most talented artists out there its just that media treat them unfair and that the musicbusniess is about sucking up and they dont do that as most other artist do

  44. A-rok says – reply to this


    44

    Thank god! It's not like Jive has done anything for them the last few years anyway. They had to fight to get some of their own songs on their albums. So I can't wait to see what they do next, with or without Jive

  45. jennie says – reply to this


    45

    hahahhahaha you are too funny perez! shes probably too busy flashing her boobs to more strangers online to even read this

    51

    WTF! O_o
    That's BS!!! Didn't they have a contract for another 2 albums?
    I hope you're wrong Perez… and if it is true.. well… maybe the fact that Kevin left is the reason they didn't make the sales they did in the past… But please!!!! lets pray for that not to be true!!
    KTBSPA!!

    oh, tina won't have this! where is she? raising hell somewhere?

  54. A+ says – reply to this


    54

    I hope it´s true. They would do so much better without Jive. Jive keeps them from being creative and releasing the songs they want!

  55. meh says – reply to this


    55

    f them they had a show in hartford in the middle of a snow storm

    I'm seriously going to cry. Jive is fucking STUPID if they drop them! Maybe if Jive knew how to PROMOTE someone-they'd sell more!

  60. Almita says – reply to this


    60

    WTF O_o !!!
    I don't think that's true… They already have part of their Tour planned, and I can bet that those seats are going to sell, every single one of them… lately you have been posting things that are wrong, what's happening Perez? your sources are failling you, mayor!!

  61. elsie says – reply to this

    Re: meh –

    Dude you don't even know.. they were STUCK in traffic coming from BOSTON for 6 hours in the snow storm and their band was STUCK in Chicago when their flight got canceled!! What are they going to do?? They sang a set of about 6 songs acoustically.. and didn't sing their more upbeat songs…

  66. ria says – reply to this


    66

    good. leave the stupid firm and start all over again! you're still the best!
    BSB FOREVER!!!!!!!!!

  67. Justin says – reply to this


    67

    Their new album "Unbreakable" was released on Halloween and it's actually a pretty damn good album! Their biggest problem is that Jive sucks and they gave them absolutely no promotion for this new album what so ever. It's really quite sad, they've released 2 great singles from this new album and neither one of them is getting any airplay…most likely because they're considered a "boy band" and also because Timbaland didn't produce any of the tracks, LOL! (I'm sick and tired of that guy, every song of his sounds exactly the same, ugh!) Anyway, it's a great album, you guys oughta check it out. If Jive really does in-fact drop them from their label…it might actually be a good thing for the 'Boys.

  68. shannon says – reply to this


    68

    Jive is shitty! they don't let the boys pick their own singles! Unbreakable is a great album, one of their best and Jive didn't promote it that well. They didn't even do any promotion stuff at all in Canada. I wonder if they can drop them if they're in the middle of a world tour right now?

    KTBSPA bitches.

  69. meh says – reply to this

    Re: Annoula –

    yeah they could at least refunded the show

    stupid JIVE SUCKS. BSB made Jive; Jive failed BSB!

  71. Sharlin says – reply to this


    71

    Well, they were never *NSYNC. *NSYNC knew when to leave with dignity. BSB just tried to grasp what *NSYNC ended up becoming and failed.

  72. ivee says – reply to this


    72

    shit…I hate jive..i hope they dropp jive. They can make it on their own…their only flop is this new record the alst one was 3x platnium.

    85

    I love the BSB!!! They should leave Jive, and find someone else, because I can honestly say, I think I heard ONCE that they had a new album out, other than that NOTHING at all! That's just not right, and it is NOT the 'Boys' fault. They make great music, and always have. Much better than that 'Nstinc' group. Oh, whoops, did I spell that wrong?!?:P

  86. Monica says – reply to this


    86

    Their last two albums a flop? Where have you been Perez? The Backstreet Boys album 'Never Gone' was not a flop, it was certified platinum in the U.S.

    Never Gone has sold approximately 11 million copies worldwide.

    Was for 'Unbreakable' it's been only out for less than 3 months.

  94. Mr.Man says – reply to this


    94

    Surprising. Inconsolable and Incomplete are catchy pop songs. Their record company is not publicizing them at all.
    I saw the Inconsolable video. They look better now than before. They just need sexier clothing. Three of them look like Mister Rogers knock-offs. Show some, skin boys!

    Anyway this is all bullshit as always! They are about to start a world tour, which I am so looking forward too just like many other fans. They still have many years left in them. KTBSPA! xx
