Boy bands have long been considered pre-fabricated according to a simple formula of good-looking members with stereotyped personalities and not necessarily talented. They have been attacked by music critics and parodied by such diverse programs as "The Simpsons" "South Park" and artists like Eminem and Blink 182. Brian Littrell, one of the blondes of the Backstreet Boys, the group that will be performing their hits and songs from their most recent CD, "Unbreakable", today at the National Auditorium, defends the style that they represent.
"Some people like us and some don’t; they have the right to listen to and buy whom they want to, no one is forcing them to do anything. The boy bands have changed a lot over the years, I think the the most important ones in terms of sales, world tours and hits has been NSync and us. There was an explosion of pop in the 90’s and the first years of this millenium. It made it possible to succeed, although there will always be new groups and styles, the world continues moving and changing," said the companion of Howie Dorough, Nick Carter and AJ Mclean.
