In The UK they create them like an Assembly Line. When one breaks up, another one is created. The Kids like their US Counterparts have one thing in common, many are raised by Single Mothers in Low Income Housing aka Council Houses. One Direction was the only Boy Band in The UK that made it in The US. Liam Payne was once involved with former Girlband Icon Cheryl Ann Tweedy of Girls Aloud who are the most successful Girlband to come out of Reality TV. 21 Top Tens 4 Number Ones Six Platinum Albums and Cheryl would have Five Number One Solo Hits and Three Number One Albums
Common practice to put bands against each other. Insecurity kept people like Lou and Berry raking in the cash.
Being a member of the band and a manager is unethical and highly unusual.
Max martin is the only reason all theese pop artists are famous!! ONLY REASON.
chew on that fo me a sec!!
Back Street Boys/New Kids on the Block could not name one of their songs. Sounds like if you like cotton candy as your main dish they are perfect.
They are still my best teenage memories of boy bands
Max Martin also wrote songs for TLC, among others, long before BSB & N*Sync hit it big. Don't act like Max didn't have hits before the pop craze of the late '90s, because he did.
nicky was the shortest. he caught up in 5 yrs
THIS IS ALL BULLSHIT, I KNEW LOU AND HAVE PICS AND DOCUMENTATION TO PROVE IT, AND LOU DIDNT TWIST ANYONE'S ARM TO SIGN CONTRACTS. WHEN JANE NICKS MOM WANTED TO GET ALL LAWYERED UP IT WAS REALLY BECAUSE SHE WOULD SHOW UP AT REHEARLAS DRUNK OFF HER ASS AND THREATENED IF LP DIDNT BANK ROLL HER BIG LIVING SHE WAS GOING TO WALK AWAY WITH HER SON. ALL THE . PHONIES YOU SEE HERE ARE ALL UPSET LP MADE MORE $$$ THEN THEM, IF IT WERENT FOR HIS VISION, THEY ALL WOULD BE LIVING IN A DOUBLE WIDE FRYING OREOS AMD DRINKING COOK AID
Woah that’s Chris Cuomo. I honestly didn’t realize how long he’s been around
I've read the book Backstreet Mom; Denise McLean mentions the meeting in New York when the boys signed with Jive. She wanted another lawyer to look through the contracts, and Lou was really offended, stating "This is the only deal on the table, and it's a take it or leave it situation." AJ, who was still underaged at the time, begged his mother with tears in his eyes to sign the contract because he had tried for so many years to make it in show business. He didn't get into the Mickey Mouse Club because he was considered too ethnic, his role on Nickelodeon's Hi Honey, I'm Home! was recast, and by now he was desperate.
Such Shit Music, but those little Tini Boopers like it and they buy intro the Crap
Lol why are they playing Jesse McCartney in the background… the editer shooould Yeeeet himself from the tallest object he’s next to
This guy is soooooo good representing his own race Ashkenazi people they are so hard working and honest they never exploit any other people hahahaha they are just the best
what does any of this h ave to do with a hitman?
Max Martin is my hero now. He wrote all these hits??!
Why would you have a lawyer check the contract that fat bastard made up?
I’ve never come across a ‘documentary’ that says so much yet reveals nothing wotsoever. What a complete load of absolute vacuous, insipid bollocks !! Definitely a big thumbs DOWN from me. Save yourselves an hour and don’t bother watching this RUBBISH.
I love the back street boys! â¤ï¸ÂÂ💜💙
HAHA!!The Backdoor Boys.
Everyone keeps saying they were so stupid for working with him… that’s just now looking back that it seems stupid. At the time, he held all the power and leverage. An example is how he told them they couldn’t get an outside lawyer to look at the contract. “Now or never.†He knew if an outside lawyer saw it, then it would be obvious it’s trash. I bet the manager knew too. But what are you going do. He can literally replace you easily. Sign the contract and in theory this dream rolls on. No sign the contract and he fires you and replaces you.
This is why music sucks ass now
As much as I feel sorry for the bands, I feel worse for the retirees who never recovered.
Lou Pearlman was a Jew. Look it up.
Why didn’t they get someone to READ the contract?
Still touring in 2019. BSB forever!!!!!!💙â¤💙â¤
Hi my friend
He was always a crook and Chris cuomo should as a lawyer known that putting him as a member of the band in a contract that something was up. He duped these parents and took the money. Prison was the right place for him
I used to work for Lou pearlman. I have a lot to say about that experience.
