Backstreet's Back - Live (Smash Hits Poll Winners Party)

[emmachef]

Smash hits 1997 (someone has the year before on with 1997 as its date which I know is rubbish as I was there) I was 17 when I went and it was the only time Will Smith didnt turn up and he'd won an award so was abit gutted as he is a legend. Was well worth the trip to London from West yorkshire :)

BSB FOREVER

[BristolCliftoniteGuy]

I was there I was about 17 at the time... ahh happy times!

These guys really knew what they were doing, its amazing how their sound matured from mere bubble gum pop to get that edge over the competition with their later songs like "Incomplete".

[xAmyXx6]

OMG i remember this!

what ever happened to the smash hit awards.

They may have been lip syncing but all artists do it when they perform on shows like this. They can not sing every single night like they were at this time and preserve their voices. There is nothing wrong with it and N Sync did it too. Look at their concerts and they are constantly dancing and singing and sound great. It is something that all artists did at this time and probably still do.

i remember watching this but not the year.

does anyone know the year?

[annebloom188]

I believe it was either 1997 or 1998. I remember the stage and Billie's performance were Titanic-centric.

[pranksternicky]

where can I download this?

[aleex2007]

Even though i hate pop music, at least nsync could dance and sing at the same time (no lip sync), but these guys arent that coordinated i take it.

[pranksternicky]

shut up. You try dancing like that and singing at the same time Mr Wanker.. N Stink are gone these days but BSB are still around that just goes to show longevity in the business. Justin's solo success went to his head and they went Bye Bye Bye ;-) Good Riddens too.

[Petrellibrothersfan]

Yeah XD they are still here so what does that tell you who's the BEST??

They are going for over 16 years now ;);) I myself have been a fan since '95 XD Keep the backstreet Pride alive!!!

[MaryLesHil]

i love it! in shows like this, every singer do lipsync so... BSB Rocks!

[britneyrocks]

Well they are only lipping because they are dancing the whole time.

[TheManiacOnWheelsUSA]

It is possible to dance and sing at the same time. Look at Broadway for an example.

[britneyrocks]

I know that lol. I was just commenting on the fact that they are lipping in this video.

[TheManiacOnWheelsUSA]

Who cares if they are "lipping"?? It's not a big deal.

[britneyrocks]

lmao I know that. I don't care. I was just responding to someone else's comment. I love BSB.

[vanillabebs]

watching this video makes me feel like im in grade 7 all over again!!! ahh crap, i feel soo old.

[ilikeblinking]

God, those were the days... I used to love the Poll Winners Party. I always wanted to go but never could! :(

[HiChieffromnz]

97 actually. anyways tomkel, you have no idea how much it would mean to me to see kavana.i luv that performance he did,"ican make u feel good". i had taped all of these shows. and then i find out my mum taped over them wen i moved out. ive been so upset. but if u got no time i understand.

[danthemanmusic17]

does it really matter if ther miming or not!! my gawd its entertainment thats what its all about im sure you asked anyone in that crowd if they were having a good time im sure they would say yes!! its not even relevant

[KougasPrincess]

They probably did lip syncing because they were dancing so much, lol. It's hard to sing so good and dance your heart out at the same time, ya' know?

[TakeCare5]

what year was it?

[prickigahunden]

I THINK it's 96. I was there that year, and I remember seing BSB..

[TakeCare5]

thanks!

[jayzmin]

OMG!! i can't belive this!!! obviously they not lip singing!!! they never do that!! and it's not possible because AJ don't be there and if they lip singing in the show we hear the AJ'S voice. THINK!!!

[laney24]

someones in denial! every single artist lip syncs...sorry to burst your bubble with reality.

[tomkel07]

Yes they are lip singing. But I wouldn't look too much into it. From what I've seen it looked like EVERY single performer was lip singing on that show that much... and it's normally not BSB's thing to pretend to sing live. I wouldn't worry :).

[wlx]

erm.. i don't want to be asking this question.. but are they lip syncing??? 'cause.. i don' t know.. it sounds EXACTLY like the cd.. and normally you can hear them breathe a bit when they're singing live..

and i've never seen them lip sync before, so they probably not, but are they???
