He’s gross to look at
What happened to BSB and N'Sync has been happening since the beginning of time. Look at Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers, he got screwed over big time bad and co wrote along with his Partners "Why Do Fools Fall In Love" that was featured in American Graffiti and covered by The Beach Boys & Diana Ross during her RCA Years, he could have sang all the way to the Bank but he didn't. Then he dies in 1968 of a Heroin Overdose, then The Jackson Five audition in Motown in 1968 in July. The Singing, Dancing and Choreography was done at Motown in the 1960's, and it continued with The Popstar Franchise and then with K-Pop most notably BTS and those kids go through more intense training. Maurice Starr knew he'd make more Money off of Five White Kids than Black Kids. Next year New Edition will celebrate 40 Years as a Group.
Hitman pop prison
Batman pop prison
NKOTB were BTS now. Big hype.
Singing " get ready" .. another group of w** men appropriating black music for their own gains. Without giving any credit to the originals.
He loved it when they called him big poppa.
those boy bands boot camp remind the training that kpop idols do before debut
those boy band boot camp kinda remind me the training that kpop idols do
it's sad and unfortunate when it seems like it's somebody's nature just to swindle
How long did this blimp think he was going to live?. There wasn't enough time to spend all that money ,he should have just enjoyed life instead. 😞
Fat guys are always weirdos
2:41 i only know Joey Mcintyre can sing not sure about the rest
Brian and Kevin are from Estill county ky I went to the same high school as them. I always thought that was so cool.
lou is me at 12 thinking i can start a boy band and be successful
Would you like to join my super secret boy band?
The Backstreet Boys & *NSYNC may have been more successful near their formation if they were more of an R&B group 4 the time being. BSB actually began w/ an R&B sound, which was urban enough 2 get them an appearance on Soul Train & a song on the Booty Call soundtrack, but both groups would've been better off back then as white teenage versions of the Temptations 4 the early-mid '90's
Q- DID girls want to see them with their shirts off? When I was at that age, I was always embarrassed by the shirtless ones. Was it just something he said to get their shirts off?
Creepy guy robbed the band of their hard earned money a well its horrible lots of managers did that in those days
I wasn't into New Kids On The Block when they first came out, but a couple of my female cousins were, and even had a VHS copy of an episode off their Saturday morning cartoon.
Surprise hes jewish! Pathetic. Wake up.
When a grown ass man want a bunch of teenage boys to call him Big Poppa that's disgusting pops Maybe even just plain old pop but big papa that man is sick
No new edition is not like menudo in them because New Edition actually came together by themselves they was not manufactured by a manager. they all lived more less in the same neighborhood and went to the same school. theirs was Organic Lou Pearlman put everybody else together as well as mr. Menendez who dealt with Menudo
You forgot to add the fact that, that "hitman" lied and stole from people during his hits!
Omg I just love the Backstreet Boys !!
According to wikipedia, his mother Jane wanted him to join The Mickey Mouse Club so that he could stay in school. Little did she know, her son was bullied and disliked at junior high school for having time off class for auditions and acting assignments. So Nick chose the band which in the long run worked out.
realtalk the backstreet boys is much popular worldwide than n sync that's why they are the best selling boyband than n sync for example here in our country n sync not much known while bsb is like mj
There is always corruption and greed in everything human being touch.
He was "invited" to a new kids concert. Yeah. Right. Pervert.
They were all turned into fucktoys because of their greed.
They deserved every game of butt darts they played.
An obese psychopath who peddled bullshit of the lowest common denominator. Perfect for ABC.
To be fair, Lou gave all these guys their career. If that guy didn’t exist, Justin for example wouldn’t have ever had his career. Butterfly Effect.
Josh Gad should play pearlman in the movie.
N'sync did it better.
Lou out here sexualizing BSB when they teens (underage) and not one adult said anything? smh!
BSB are the best "boy" band ever, I love those guys! #26years
Lou Pearlman is a crook. But comparing to todays K-Pop record exectutives? Lou would look like an altar boy. Yes he stole money and I am not saying that is right. But at least his talents did get a taste of the VIP high life. They got to stay in posh hotels, and eat at 5-star restaurants, and even hang out with all the toys in his mansion. Sure the talents did not know they were paying for all that through recoupment but compare that to the shit K-pop artists are put through which is just tantamount to human rights violation. The artists live in a tiny dormitory close to the practice studios. Every aspect of their lives are controlled. They can't have friends, own mobile phones, or even see their family. On top of the 18-20 hour work schedule they need to eat nothing but cabbages to maintain their skinny look. I mean that shit can literally kill somebody. On top of that they get 10% of every dollar they make and are made to pay for everything. It got to be so bad it would take a couple of suicides before the Korean Government intervened.
