If one is into those types of bands, South Korea’s BTS (and several others) are far superior performers.

I can see them appealing to the teeny-bopper set along with Justin Bieber. But for anyone this side of puberty it’s a tossup.

That’s like asking your favorite color of Peeps candy. Or if you’d prefer to gouge out your eyes or stick ice picks in your ears. It’s called Hobson’s Choice ...

You’ll hear it at one of your family member’s wedding, especially if it is a daughter, sister, niece, etc.

They love ballads like this.

This ballad was the song of the 2000s and 2010s.

Believe me. Believe me.

Never heard any of the songs you linked to. Not my style and no radio stations I listen to would probably play them. Different strokes and all that. What I listen to would be like KBCO on IHeartRadio or The Spectrum on Sirius XM.

Chris Rock:

“Why the hell would you wanna be a Backstreet Boy? They from the back streets. Wooo, I’m scared of that neighborhood! I wonder who lives on the front street – Big Bird?”

I remember Dennis Miller’s rant about New Kids On The Block:

Oh sure, they may sing, “Oh Oh Oooh Oh Oh....Oh Oh Oh Oh”, but they don’t really mean it.
