I went to go see them in concert at the sphere. >> Uh I went uh when you guys were filming JK like the losers. Uh I had >> You're a big meanie. >> I had >> You leave us all the time. >> That's harsh. >> My my cousin-in-law, she uh she was able to get like kind of a a PR plug type thing. >> I knew you didn't go the conventional way. You freaking >> Well, we still had to pay for the tickets, but they were like

0:50 significantly cheaper and they were in I think it ruined the sphere for me. I don't know if I'll ever be able to like have a better seat than where I was. >> It was like section 100 right behind like the cameras but like slightly elevated so not general standing. >> Wow. >> And I could you could see the faces in emotion of the guys but then you still had like fully immersed like nothing was blocking your peripheral view >> man. >> And this has anybody been to the sphere? >> No. >> I'm not rich like you. >> It's first of all you're richer. It's ████ sick. Like the sphere is really fun for certain types of things. >> It is quite immersive. >> But yo, the Bashi boys cuz and the funny thing is that weekend that I was there was also the weekend that Beyonce was performing uh at Allegiant. >> Allegian. Yeah. >> So, and that was the Cowboy Carter tour.

1:42 >> That was not as immersive though. >> Definitely not. But it's funny because because you only had like you basically had two people walking up and down the strip. You either dressed in all white going to the Bashy Boys or you're dressed as a cowboy cowgirl going to watch Beyonce. >> So it's a thing to dress in all white when you go see them >> somehow. Yes. >> Oh. >> Did you wear all white? >> I didn't have all white pants, but I had I wore the lightest pants I could all black >> and it worked. It worked. >> He likes to stand out. But yo, Bash Boys, it's one of those things where like you forgot that song existed, yet you still know all the words. >> Yeah, they got bangers. >> I remember all their songs that existed. >> Which is it? Uh >> I get them and Insync mixed up a >> Yeah, me too. It's like >> Byebye is in sync >> for sure. >> Okay. >> Back. Okay. >> They should just join groups and do a

2:34 super tour and they just do each other's songs cuz Yeah, I have it all mixed up. Anyways, >> that's 98°. 98 Degrees is like low-key sadly like performing both Backstreet and In Sync songs. >> No way. Are they >> apparently? How sad. >> I saw like a clip and it's like >> I mean it still might be fun to see them for really really cheap but um just the idea of like they're doing their Millennium Tour which is 25 years old uh or or celebrating that that album and it's like that album was a banger album. >> Which one? Backstreet Boys. >> Yeah, Backstreet. And dude, there honestly it was like especially as a concert experience, it was almost like a giant karaoke. Like everyone was just up and singing. >> Cool. >> And it was ████ incredible. >> Did Kanye ever perform with Backstreet Boys? >> Cuz you know they have that song. >> Kanye perform. >> They have a song together.

3:24 >> Well, he sampled Backstreet Boys and he had Charlie Wilson singing talking about But that song's >> They didn't perform together. No, >> the Everybody song. Yeah. >> Oh, everybody. And that's Backstreet Boys. >> I'm tired if they all did a little thing together. >> That'd be that'd blow people's brains. Kanye and Backstreet Boys. >> I feel like Backsh Boy fans wouldn't want to be next to Kanye. >> Yeah. >> They want to share seats with them. >> And it's crazy too cuz the sphere is huge and they sold out like all their shows to the point where >> seven more, right? >> They just added seven more. So like that's >> they only do the sphere. >> Yeah. >> Chia was there just this last weekend. >> Chia. >> Chia. Chia. Oh. Oh yeah. Right when I posted my IG stories, Tim was like, "Dang, I'm so jealous." Like the random people that hit me up from that IG story just because every like you forget how

4:14 much of a cultural phenomenon they were for our generation. >> Yeah. >> I ████ hated them cuz I thought they were gay and I know every single lyric. >> Isn't Isn't that funny? That's where I think like like the memory of not liking boy bands cuz they were gay or something is like no longer. It's like you It's a part of your your timeline now. old now and they're like, "F███ it. I don't care." >> It's the sound of your youth. It doesn't matter if you didn't like them or you did like them. They were so good that it committed to memory either way cuz I didn't like them in high school. I thought that was gay. >> And I ████ love them now. >> And I know every song. >> The lyrics are good, too, >> dude. The song structure, everything. Did you ever hear the uh you know the um the everybody the the real version? They tried to like make a corrected one. >> No way. >> Oh, yes, I did hear it. What's the corrected one? >> Yeah,

5:04 >> it's >> Wait, no, it's not it's not that song. It's the other one. >> Yeah, it's alternative lyrics. >> So, the So, the thing is um what's the song they did it with? >> Is I Want It Way. Hold on. Uh >> yeah, it's I Want It Way. So, they wrote that song >> and then the guy that wrote that isn't even the best guy with English, so it doesn't actually make sense. The the lyrics don't really make sense, but they're ████ good, right? >> What is he like some Swedish guy or something? >> Oh, yeah. It's one of the ████ guys. >> It's called No Goodbyes. that one technically. >> Yeah. So, they made a correct one >> as an alternative that actually makes like lyrical sense, >> but it sucks ass. Yeah. >> It's supposed to be like No, this is good because English speakers will be able to make sense of it, >> but it that would it was such a bad song. >> So, it says I want that lyrics make no sense. The producers knew it. The Backy Boys knew it. And they re-recorded new

5:54 lyrics written by Matt Lange. Uh, everyone liked the original version that didn't make sense, so that's what got released. M >> who did the original Max Martin? >> Uh I don't >> but yeah the the um the new version that they did. >> You're like why would you sing any of this? And and of course we're saying it in retrospect after we know the real one. So it's a little biased but like it's very clear that like these are not good lyrics. It doesn't matter that stuff has to make sense. You know what I mean? Like it's more important to be good. >> Has to be musical first. >> It's more important to be a it's a good song. Otherwise Michael Jackson would have like no lyrics. >> Mama said mama said like what the hell is that? I don't know what the ████ >> It's genius is what it is. Yeah. >> I don't know, but it sounds cool. >> We're like right after >> sing if I could play like 5 seconds. >> We'll get blocked. It's the same instrumental. You got to sing it.

6:44 >> Yeah, you sing it. What song? >> Sing your favorite songs, dude. >> You're singing at the sphere. >> Lyrics. Backstreet Boys. I want to die with Ultra. >> I'm the worst with lyrics, dude. >> You are. >> Unless I fire the one. >> Wow, look at you. So like >> lyrics recites the whole song perfectly. >> It says like I'm yours completely. I feel so deep. >> Oh that sounds horrible. ████ that. ████ that dude. >> Every day and I want it that way. So let me see the chorus. No goodbyes ain't nothing but a heartache. No more lies but a mistake. That is why I love it when I hear you say I want it that way. >> Those lyrics made it sound even wider, dude. >> On fire. Such a

7:35 >> Wait, is there a part where he goes tell me why? >> Yeah, that's the real one. >> Yeah, >> tell me why. >> No, he never says that. He says that is why. >> Oh, >> I always thought it was tell me why. >> No, that's the real good one. >> This is the ████ one. >> This one sounds horrible. >> Yeah, it sounds like ass. But I mean, of course, we're comparing it with what ended up being a hit, so hard to say, but >> Oh my god. >> Your favorite alltime Backstreet Boy song. Do you have one? >> All time. >> Uh, well, here's the reason why. I got to give the reason why. And >> tell me why. >> It's No, that's very good. >> I ain't it. >> You're doing so gay. I'll probably have to say all I have to give >> the slow ballad one >> to hear >> cuz it was my first slow dance song. >> Oh. >> Oh, you have an emotional attachment to

8:25 it. >> I I was fighting >> baby's first boner. >> My first my first my first slow dance boner was in seventh grade and it was uh Ghost Town DJ's My Boo. >> Whoa, that's a good one. >> Yeah, that song gives me a bonus though. >> Yeah. >> All right. This song. This song. I'll play it >> to sing it. Oh, no. The channel's going to get suspended. [Music] >> That's it. >> Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. But then it already got flagged. It already got flagged though. >> It's not going to get flagged for that. >> But you know it. >> Flash forward. >> That was like two seconds. That's another quit playing games in my heart. I kind of forgot. I still love that song, but I forgot how it goes. >> I still love I have to give without you. I don't >> you remember the pre YouTube those two

9:15 Asian guys in like a dorm room and they're in like jerseys and they're and they're like lip syncing to I want it that way. You don't know that video. >> It sounds really familiar viral. >> I think I know what you're talking about. >> Yeah. And then they're all you are you are. >> Oh yeah yeah yeah. >> Don't want to hear and this is like old like not even YouTube dude like video sites. >> Yeah. >> Wow. like a part of my brain I haven't visited. >> That's why I love that song. That video is like in my mind forever, >> dude. Backstreet kill. And you know, it's like crazy too because everybody know that Brian Brian has that like vocal what's called um >> Who's Brian? >> The main singer. >> He's the one with the goatee all the time or >> No, that's AJ. >> Goatee all the time. >> I don't know, man. >> Your goatee is all the time. >> AJ.

10:05 >> AJ's the edgy one. >> Vocal tension dysphonia. M. >> So like it's like he can't he can't sing very like high or like consistent and you hear the strain. >> You got that RFK ████ >> kind of like that but like less. >> But like everybody everybody who's a Backstreet Boy fan like knows but like they just support it still and it's like >> it's kind of funny though that I always felt like like Backstreet Boys as a whole I think had really iconic like awesome songs but you didn't really know them individually the same way you did in Sync. >> True. What was different? Insync did a good job of like making each person really like obvious like in your mind. >> Yeah. Wow. >> Maybe they had like different styles >> cuz Back Boy is like a blob to me. >> I don't quite know. >> Like the same guy or maybe the look changed too much but in sync they each looked like that for many years.

10:55 >> Blake JC >> there's that guy looks like a sub substitute teacher. Lance is the gay one. >> Actually >> substitute teachers. You knew like Nick Carter. >> Yeah. specifically and his brother Aaron Carter that that offed himself. >> Um, >> oh man. >> And then if you like Back, you probably just really focused on Brian and AJ, the goatee guy. >> Brian was like a main singer kind of like cuz he had that Stifler. Which one looks like Stifler? >> I think that's >> Sean Michael. Sean William Scott does. >> Oh yeah, >> that's Brian. >> Yeah, Brian. Brian's a Stifler looking one. Yeah, it's weird like the branding that In sync I don't know what they did differently, but even if you saw them like on Tiger Beat or something, they were just they looked so distinct from each other. >> Were they are there less Inc members in

11:45 Backstre Boy? >> Same. Five and five. >> Wow. Damn. >> But they were NC was like slightly younger. So maybe like the >> kind of just the way that they knew studios knew how to like do stuff maybe. But >> there were no girl groups. >> Well, there was like TLC. There was like Spice Girls. >> That's right. Spice Girls. was like American child. >> What about like American American Girl like >> the most popular were like individuals like Britney Spears, >> Christina, Shakira? >> I think Spice Girls was huge. >> Spice Girls was huge >> cuz it's hard it's hard to run a women only group. >> That's right. And Style Danny Kane type stuff. >> Danny Kane. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. >> That's from making the band, huh? >> Holy ████ Okay. >> It's all coming back. >> Fergie was in a group before. >> Yeah, she was.
