Backstreet Boys with Rolling Stone

     Backstreet Boys have an article with rollingstone.com from rolling stone magazine. This time the boys are talking about their new album This is Us that will be coming out on October 6th, 2009. Here is a preview of the article: 

     Call them pop’s longest-running, most persistent group. Call them men, not boys. Just don’t call it a comeback. “We almost named the album that,” jokes Nick Carter, one-fourth of the Backstreet Boys, whose seventh studio effort, This Is Us, is slated for release on October 6th. “We’re the Brett Favres of the music industry.” Clearly, he and his bandmates are fed up with the public perception that they’ve taken an extended time out. They’re not ‘NSync, after all. “It does frustrate me,” says Brian Littrell. “Everybody asks, ‘Where have you been? What have you been doing?’ When we’re, like, ‘We’ve been touring the world, and working our butts off!’ ”

OK, so maybe the boy-band racket isn’t what it used to be. There are no million-plus first week sellers in today’s music business, and so many outlets vying for your attention that it’s easy to miss a respectable showing like Backstreet’s 2007 album, Unbreakable. Which is one reason why A.J. McLean, Howie Dorough, Carter and Littrell are looking back to a proven formula with This Is Us. “The idea was going back to those great R&B ballads as well as dance songs you can shake your butt to,” McLean explains. “And we were fortunate enough to work with some amazing writers and producers who got our concept and everything fit perfectly.”

Among the industry heavies to lend a hand: Ne-Yo, T-Pain, Pitbull, Ryan Tedder, Max Martin, RedOne, and beatmaker Jim Johnson. “The production on this record has been pushed a little more,” says McLean. “It’s edgy and current but also shows our love for the pop-R&B that we grew up on.” Carter interjects: “Jodeci, Boys II Men, Shai, New Edition… we had to go back and remember our influences and what taught us in the years when we were developing into a band.” And Littrell adds that if you were to take away all the bells and whistles, the basics of the song with that Backstreet sweet spot is what defines their raison d’etre. “That’s why Michael Jackson was a true artist,” he says, “because you could take away every beat and every layer and just dance to his voice. That vocal instrument is what we’ve always known, and I can honestly say without this sounding egotistical: when we sing collectively, there is a magic.”

Rumors swirled that Duff had infuriated the show's cast after refusing to leave her trailer as the others waited to film near Manhattan's Gramercy Park neighborhood, causing a massive delay in shooting.

Paula is leaving Idol

Paula Abdul leaves idol
Written: 8, 2009
I was a week at camp and just heard the news about Paula. Paula Abdul who has been a judge on the show since the show started. I think they have chosen Paula to be on the show in the first place because she is a nice smart person. She has been around longer than some of the young singers out there. I don’t think that it is right that they are replacing her. She is one of the nicest judges anyone would meet. She has told some of my favorite people from American Idol that they are great. I remember when she didn’t want Scott Macintyre to leave the show but Simon made him leave which was wrong.
People just need to back off and just give Paula what she wants because I think she deserves the money and the show. Simon needs less money, maybe like 30 million and they should give Paula more. Simon has said that he would like to have her back on the show. What is going on here? Paula has said before Kara came on idol, that the guess judges did not really work at all of the show. I total agree with that. I only have watched the eighth season but I truly know that Paula should not leave because she is really smart. They should keep her on the show. The show will be weird because they want the wrong people to be on idol as guest judges. I just think that is wrong. Do you watch the show and if so please tell me what you think about Paula leaving Idol?
