Backstreet Boys Pay Tribute To One Direction! WATCH HERE!!!

5/02/2012 1:30 PM ET | Filed under: TV News • Music Minute • Yummy Yummy Screw • Backstreet Boys • One Direction

TRUE CLASS!!!

Some ego-maniacal celebs just HATE IT when new kids come in on the path they paved. They can't stand the thought of anyone out-shining them.

But as the Backstreet Boys demonstrated at London's fabulous 02 Arena this week, just because one boy band's light is shining doesn't mean another one's is dimming!!

Oooh NO! The fire that BSB put in the world's heart will live FOREVER!!

So when they combined their classic style with One Direction's modern What Makes You Beautiful (above), the crowd went CAH-RAE-ZEE!!

(And when we saw it, we kinda did too LOL!)

Sigh… reminds us of our birthday magic… such a great group of guys, no?

There is no boy band out today that out shines the backstreet boys and nsync! So far the boy bands of today are one hit wonders.

None of these new boybands even come close to BSB or NSync. It's One Directions that should be paying tribute.

Re: inTENsity – One Direction are compared to The Beatles because the group has members from Britain. Nobody can be compared to them musically…ever.

Backstreet Boy's seem like the COOLEST group of guys, not to big to play a song from the fresh crop of boy bands at their show, I think they even met Niall from 1D.

Backstreet Boys are AMAZING! They are by far the best performers I've ever seen. And the #1 "Boy Band" of all time. ^_^

Re: tasha – i agree. it should be one direction paying tribute to bsb. cause that one direction song title comes awful close to the bsb song what makes you different (makes you beautiful) which was released on the black and blue album almost 12 years ago. boy bands today dont come close to bsb, nkotb, nsync, 98 degrees.

Re: inTENsity – hey really intensity, where was one direction on the rolling stones top ten boy bands article (give you a clue, one direction isnt even on the list)? yea cause the beatles were number 2 and guess who was number 1? not one direction thats for sure. it was backstreet boys that is number one. the only thing that the beatles and one direction have in common is that they are from great britian. plus the beatles are awesome and talented. p.s. one direction will never be better then the beatles. here's the link to the rolling stone article:

Oh god, come on people. The BSB LIKE 1D. It's their choice to play WMYB in their concert. Can you just shut it?

inTENsity….sweetie The BSB were also compared to the Beatles back in 98-99 because of the frenzy they created everywhere they went. I don't mind one Direction but at this point in time at the early stages of their career they've got nothing on BSB who have one of the biggest selling albums of all time

Re: inTENsity – I think they are talented and very cute but they do NOT have the staying power like NSYNC and BSB did. NOT EVEN CLOSE to the Beatles. Not even. Wow.

Re: inTENsity – amen hun, amen <3 they have come so far… there arent any words to describe how great they have done and how proud we all are <3

It's not really a tribute , it's just the backstreet boys saying Welcome to the music industry to one direction!

Re: niall – True. But even as a crazy Directioner (I'd ADMIT) I think that BSB is LEGEND and One Direction could never touch them. BSB + ONE DIRECTION = Perfection <3
