So, I haven't been to the joint tour yet, but have seen both in concert.
My first ever concert was in 1990. I was 7 and it was NKOTB. I remember being so excited and having lots of fun.
Now as for BSB, I've seen them 8 times. They never get old to see. Not many groups can sing for real in real life without being pitchy or just horrible, but BSB can.
And how can someone not like them but like NKOTB?
Sure New Kids are great and kind of paved the way for groups such as BSB, but to say that BSB are riding the coatails of NKOTB? I don't understand that when to be quite frank, it is the other way around. BSB have been making music for 18 years without taking a break, have sold over 130 million albums (NKOTB=80 million), every album has broken the top 10..etc., etc...I could go on and on; BSB doesn't need to ride on anyone's coatails...
Not dissing the New Kids because I do like them, but putting down the BSB is just ridiculous.
