Backstreet boys I want it that way AOL sessions

[nwsausuke1]

Crazy Panning much

[186kms]

Can you say lip sync…

[Priscilla3394]

Someone put the live version of the song with the album version and posted it with the video. The way to tell is that some parts sound identical to the album version, including Nick's solo, when this video was made at least 6 years after the album version so clearly Nick's voice wasn't so high........

[6507loida]

hahaha.. nick is smiling at 3:43 because he forgot again his line @ 3:34 ... you listen closely and watch his mouth... but anyway, it is their song....i still respect them....

[6507loida]

this is not live, Nick forgot his line from 3:01 to 3:07 .... the line when he would shout "don't wanna hear you ......." this was broadcasted live and they can't edit it. but i still love them..

[yugyone77]

este grupo si es verdadera musica, excelente.

[myemotiions]

[Angy232523]

They sing live, but someone put the original version from the album on the video.

[Anwar978]

[ilovephones42]

[bladfin]

wow. the band is the bad ass

[yathan01]

OMG why would they do that!!!! 0:46 "yeaaahhh ohhhh" that's how aj always do whenever he sings this song live, but it's prerecorded, SHIT! look at Brian's smile like AJ WTF!!!

[jennalynnaxD]

come join us kitties.(or kiddies)

haha(:

Man i miss them..):

[BrattyRosi]

I love them but this viideo make it look like they are lip singing, which is weird cuz they never do , as far as I have seen hmmm

[uu52gmoney]

@BrattyRosi i felt the same way, not sure what it is..

[tonemenolc]

That's pretty damn good keyboard playing considering that man's missing a finger.

[Selerdor10]

I like how all the guys get to sing in this song. Man, they really could sing...

[JBxPuppyxLover]

thumbs up if the sound went between ur left speaker and ur right one back and forth

[6507loida]

@JBxPuppyxLover yeah, why is that ?

[JBxPuppyxLover]

ooouu nick a LITTLE chubby

[xmsparker]

Haha it's like they seperated into two groups. Taleneted black musicians in the back, and untalented white queers in the front. I'm white btw.

[ForeverAMM]

Nick Carter <33333333333333333333333333

[elfcrazy87]

I wish Kevin and Howie got to sing on their own more.  I love their voices so much.

[bsb4eva21]

deff album version over live background music. lol nice try. good one though. im sure they didnt need the backup anyways.

[kissykissy22]

ppl can talk mess all they want. all these years later and they STILL kick ass. <33

[chance03]

@Chrisjr09 You should probably get your facts right, They've sold 35 million albums world wide.

[porsha18ful]

and it doesn't matter if they are or not anyways that's still their voices...so idc still love it:)

[porsha18ful]

well like I said if I wanna think their really singing I can do that so don't try to tell me anything:)

[PotterDork89]

omg i love this version

[jbjmacluver20]

Man, I love these guys!

[porsha18ful]

You can tell their singing cuhz they change it a little

[porsha18ful]

Their not lip syncing wdf

[treatwill23]

@porsha18ful they are.. how do you explain the backing vocal at 3:33 (supposed to be nick's voice) when they are all singing the same line "I wan't it that way"

[manuchamp99]

@treatwill23 I think they mixed live vocals and live music with the recorded version, cos you can hear the guy in the hat doing fills around 2.19. Also, the harmony at 2.41 is sick!

[kroshka92butterfly]

seems like they're lipsincing.... i bet they are. they sound the same on the cd. weirdness..

[GurlCaa]

@2145sful nooo...AJ, but Brian has the smoothest voice out of all

[BUKGYQ]

they are SO GOOD live!

[ChiOwnsYoursoul]

They even harmonize when they speak. Incredible.

[monkeybob13]

i think they are lip singing

[camelont688]

@monkeybob13 lip singing or lip snycing? 2 totally different things man

[monkeybob13]

@camelont688 well they are the same thing....lip synching is just the correct term....my mistake

[gigirodher]

0:46 ohh yeahh b rock jajaja no estan cantando en vivo

[ColtSteel25]

this isn't a live session by the way....they took the cd recording and dubbed over it on certain parts of the song.

[aznbbi]

@dholprodigy hell no! They would never do that!

[RKr894]

Stiill awesome performance woww ...old memories ;)

[guitarboy5460]

audio is messed up, keeps switching from left to right channel..

[DholProdigy]

Are they freakin lip singing? wth! lmao

[dudedylan13]

The Backstreet Boys Are My Idol

[xPiNKyHEiDix]

lol at brian "but we are two-" holds up 2 fingers "worlds, apart" makes a circle.

haha that bit made me laugh

and i've noticed all the instrument players are black? any reason for that? not being racist but i just noticed that and found it kinda random

[JoviDaughtryfan]

I never wanna hear you say.. I want it that way.... cause I want it that way.

Ah memories. Thanks

[Alex563412]

This has got to be my favorite performance of Kevin and AJ's part ever!! Their voices were so great!

[omzzzzz]

The audio was swapped. The other original video with them actually singing got removed by WMG.

[NickCartersGoodGrl]

BSB doing a classic!! You know they are the most amazing live. I liked this song but I thought they had better but when I hear it now live like that its the best song in the world. Love you BSB straight through my heart

[Isisfdb]

I simply love, adore BSB with all of my heart... so, dont get me wrong anyway. But it is a playback! Oo Why???

[2Simple2Blink]

actually if they were auto tuning (where the sound system automatically hits the right key for them) or they were lip syncing how would they get into O'Hare (Chicago's big ass airport) and while being filmed for Oprah harmonize for a fan. it even filmed them while they kinna sang a bit to make sure they were all on key. AN surely after how many years a stage hand or someone would of leaked proof especially with each of them having solo careers as well. sure...they are lip syncing...yeah right.

[JoZZebetico]

The back track its to loud cuz if you hear carefully you listen the voices of the bsb live

[15kirstin12]

Around 3.03 you can see that Nick isn't singing his little solo part, so I think it's lipsyncing. Which doesn't make any sense because AOL Sessions are all about live performances, right? But just because they had to lipsync, doesn't make them less amazingXD<3

[skaterbobo17]

@15kirstin12 actually...yes it does. lol.  it means that they cant even sing their parts in an AOL sessions performance.

[2Simple2Blink]

@15kirstin12 actually the audio on all these songs is terrible.

[crouchedw]

ok before i get raped on here for saying my opinion (and possibly fact)I DO LIKE the Backstreet boys and like their music. i'm not saying they suck or that they are bad in anyway, but....

they look like they're miming/lip syncing. i don't no y, but i think they are......now thats my opinion, to all those who don't like it.........deal with it and get over it.

Now feel free to be a keyboard warrior an tell me i'm "tone deaf" and your going to hurt me or watever.....lol

[crouchedw]

@crouchedw or they are singing over a very loud backing track?......or they're lipsyncing! lol

[JKiNG945]

they made it look so fun. lol.

I dont give a fuck what anyone says, I love them<3

[ninincnals]

After this, the backstreet boys bent over and took it in the "back" from all the black guys. They wanted it that way!

[Lfbaum]

This group is such a staple in today's music, their sexy style is beautiful to ears all across the globe. if anyone has anythng negative to say about them, they must be jealous, because these talented grown men will forever be known as boys at heart and they will always have it goin' on

[chongoblanco1]

GOSPEL STYLLL!

[bluezeoranger08]

ok i know it seem like they lip syncin but they not cause they did the same extract mix on the ellen show a few years ago. it just on here the video goes alil slower than music.

[jbsbtalih]

(๏̯͡๏) Love you all backstreet boys

you guys are my life love you *

[Neverpark]

Sorry all but just look at it and this is all Lipsing...:S

[camelont688]

@Neverpark Yah because you're a proffessional and you do that for a living? Find out who lip-sync's? We should all believe you.... HEY EVERYONE WE HAVE A REGULAR VIDEO PSYCHIC HERE!!!! Get a live moron... I don't see your band??? Your millions of records, or a billion dollar record label supporting your postings... gtfo no one cares what you think.

[PurpleHazeHippie]

FUCKING EPIC

[Dontknockmedown]

SO MIMED =L

[musofunk]

Some sections mimed and the whole thing is auto tuned to sweetness. Disappointing...

[JinnDerringer]

I love singing this song, next thing I hear myself singin "I'm only human!" lol

[PLAYUNCHARTED]

That sounds SO mimed. I hope I'm wrong but seems very suspect...

[Beckkaaax3]

Their Voicessss <3

[tunesmaster915]

If this thing has 18 dislikes, that means those people must have been crying from the beauty n hit the wrong key

[Brittneyx897]

i think if i ever got to see backstreet boys in concert id scream like the little 9 year old that wanted to see them so long ago lol

[mycompebbysolo]

all the musicians are black.. black is where talent, power and energy is..way to go

[Theres1PopPrincess]

OMG I love the backstreetboy wish hey were still together but they're not anymore :( man. I love them my favorite pop band in the old days :))

[Kaylinamahal]

Even though this performance was autoplay, they still did pretty well. It's not like they lipsnyc often. This is the very first time I've seen them use autoplay.

[glassmermaid24]

They didn't use enough energy in this one, but I grant forgiveness. I still want to do Nick. We'll meet in the next life time around that's for damn sure. I've seen his spirit in my house and seen him in my fuckn dreams and he was soooo cool and sweet. He can do no wrong. Word up.

[thenicknicol]

Clear guitar FTW

[CaliforniaBlondes16]

Too be honest I clicked on this thinking that they were going to be bad, but they actually sound quite amazing.

[poulova]

You gotta give it to them after all them years apart this was hell of a live flawless performance..

[djsoulchild]

This is total playback....very disappointing. Proof: Nick doesn't do the "Don't wanny hear you saaaaaaaaaay" ad-lib before the middle section/breakdown, he just sings backgrounds along with the others...major FAIL!!!!!

Shame, 'cause using "Human" as the foundation was a pretty sick idea, sounded great together...

[twiztedsweetness21]

I LOVED Backstreet Boys from the first time I ever heard them and have been a fan ever since they came out.This band is still just so amazing they are all different,sexy in their own way and compliment each other and they could actually sing and dance.I was in love w these guys and part of me will always love BSB

[DezireeJM]

OMG it's like I've fallen in love with BSB all over again! The musicians are great too! The background music doesn't overpower their voices, but adds a whole new falvour and dimension to the songs!!

[MrBradyMac]

Ummm...gay.

[twiztedsweetness21]

@MrBradyMac ummm u dont have to watch it if u dont like.

[LaurenAnn210]

When i was younger i would have killed to see them perform(:



[peaceawakeupcall]

awesomeness: bcLuv...amazing !!!!

[weareaglitch]

check out my I want it that way- Backstreet Boys cover? Acoustic guitar + cajon (box thing). sub if u like?

[Terrymaharch]

It is like CD..

[shaun127969]

anyone see Weird Al version :)

[npu]

play back, cuz Bryan never sing that good when it's a live session.... xD though i really love him, but i must conceide that he can't start a song in the right tone... :p

[missliz0407]

@ 2:09 it sounds like AJ decided to ditch the pre-recorded track. It seems like an AJ thing to do ;-)

[LordOfZoomy]

best playback evvaH

[NikBadholiday]

fucking gays! Bu i really like that song! =)

[ManderMurduh]

@NikBadholiday You might want to consider growing up before you sit and call straight guys gay. Never new gay guys were married to Women or engaged to a chicks and had babies with 'em.

[MLTNA7X]

panning fail!

[lacornetavoladora]

1:59 HOWIE ( "yes i know" , but is playback, so the microphone is off )

2: 11 AJ 2 voices at the same time .... ventriloquist ???

XD

ESO SE LLAMA GRABAR LA SESION ANTES, GRABAR LOS COROS Y CANTAR ENCIMA..

LO MISMO EN CONCIERTO MSN, ES COSA DE VER SHOW ME THE MEANING..

CANTAN BIEN, PERO CON APOYOS GRABADOS...

MEJOR NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK ;)

[kissykissy22]

gawd, they are so damn good. That would be like the dream like birthday presnt or something. To have them sing to me! I have like very album they ever made, I looooooove them:)

[kissykissy22]

I frikken love them. i will probablly be a like 30 year old women still loving them no matter what. Backstreet boys forever!

[bradkrypto]

listen at about 2:09 I think hes lip syncing.

[MariahHart16]

So Cute! Im Bsb love sick (sigh) :P

[MrIPhonemaniac]

wtf is this lip sync? doesn't sound live...........

[jubileee05]

They sound sooo awesome live!!

[melly208]

This is live definetly cos nice didnt sound like that in 1999 he is more manly now and ovbiously they dont suck cos they sold more than 80 million albums worldwide

[kikabioloca]

los adorooooooooooooo me caee nadie como ellossssssssssssssss

[MidnightSmileMusic]

i totally agree! this is exactly the studio version! they suck!

[AdriGoddess]

Why did AOL allow this to happen??? This is just playback. Well, I guess that goes to show what kind of "artists" they are.

[chance03]

yeah. since they've sold over 80 million records across the world. They must suck huh?

[AdriGoddess]

@chance03 Them selling 80 million records has nothing to do with if they're good or not. That goes to show how many fans they have and good they are as performers. Now, if they had won dozens of Grammys then you would have a good defense if they are good artists.

[osoesponjoso]

@AdriGoddess I think that like another singers is the face and the good marketing, I linke some songs off Backs..Boys but they are doing plaback in these song, I don't know for what if they won´t a lot of grammys like you say jejeje :) Bless

[baconman2101]

@AdriGoddess though grammys doesnt always prove either how good an artist is. it is what ever you like in music they have to be talented to make it in music just may not be the talent you like or are looking for.

[MariahHart16]

@chance03 yeah. since they've sold over 80 million records across the world. They must suck huh? They do not suck thier awesome their my life and you should clean out ur ears if you hear suckness bcuz I just cleaned out my ears and all i can hear is greatness!

[kofataaa]

@chance03 YEAH!

[iiloveyyou1]

@chance03 Actually they sold more than 130 Million..... They're the best!

[MissThisIsMe1982]

@chance03 Actually they've sold over 130 million albums worldwide:)

[chance03]

@MissThisIsMe1982 Ha yeah. That is true. I was just trying to make my point since people have to hate the backstreet boys cause they were considered a boyband.

[MissThisIsMe1982]

@chance03 ahh I know, I don't understand it, they do the same thing as The Tempations, Jackson 5 and Boyz 2 Men, but because they are white they are concidered a boyband, and that automatically means they have no talent...I wish people wold just look beyond that label of boyband and actually listen to their music and voices, they would see that they are amazingly talented!!!

[chance03]

@chance03 I'll correct myself 130 million records world wide.

[TsukimoriLen]

One of the best songs!!

[pianistatimbero]

That's Professional. To have a huge chorus behind the 5. It sounds like the album or even better!

[Forensic666]

I think they have after recording this made some extra vocal lay overs but it sounds awsome :)

[christophermorenoacu]

No estan cantando en vivo en esta cancion buuu..

[pelonmetiche]

@christophermorenoacu jajajaj es cierto es playback, yo sabia que esos maricas no cantan

[christophermorenoacu]

Solo en sta cancion hicieron play black... xq x ejemplo en Incomplete si cantaron en vivo ..

[pelonmetiche]

Da lo mismo no les quita ser basura.

[2805josh]

pre recorded!! bullshit i hate ppl like this!

[RGL211]

They sang along with their own vocals from the album version. No big deal. They also had themselves backed up on them singing this song during the Unbreakable Tour, at least the London Show. They must have pre-recorded the chorus and then played it during the show. Check it out.

[DanielAdrianOchoa]

I read that every band that sings in AOL sessions uses this program called AUTOTUNE that's why they hit everynote and sound perfect.

[toolfan513]

@DanielAdrianOchoa eh no listen to keith urban

[DanielAdrianOchoa]

@toolfan513 I said that's what I read, im not making myself clear.

[RedRoosterbabam]

@DanielAdrianOchoa False.

[drumgawd11]

Well coming out of the closet on youtube is pointless. try it somewhere else.

[MuDvAyNw]

these guys actually have pipes lol

[NewBetrayal]

haha they have become backstreet men. but backstreet boys still live in our hearts!
