Let's talk about boy bands

[marie427]

I don't want to read about religion anymore and it's the Friday before a long weekend, so I ask you all to check out the following link and then we'll discuss:

First, I liked the MTV movie 2Gether and I thought Noah Bastian was the hottest of the five of them, so of course it turns out that he's gay. Lance Bass was also my favorite 'N Sync member, FYI.

Second, I love this list because of who is #1. At least he didn't turn out gay. He's on my "list." I also had to Google "UNF."

Did Zac and Taylor Hanson both marry the same girl??

[Daria Morgandorffer]

I loved Justin T and Nick Lachey way back when. I still love JT :heart:

[lilmgirl]

I have no recollection of 2Gether. Who were they?

[doctordonna]

I'm really really happy they didn't switch #1 and #2.

I had to Google UNF, too.

[ringstrue]

Evan Farmer! I miss him from While You Were Out. kinda....

In the late 90s, there was a boy band movie on MTV and the band was called 2Gether. They were totally fake and were simply meant to be a parody of what boy bands were like those days (i.e. Kevin Farley playing the "older brother type"), but I guess enough people loved them to make the group put out an album afterwards. I didn't care for the music, my teenage self just found the movie to be hilarious.

Wow they really do look similar. I would've married Zac and Taylor back in the day. As long as I didn't have to marry Isaac too.

[ladybug2002]

What happened to Nick Carter?? He looks awful.

I also loved that 2Gether bit. Evan Farmer was hilarious.

I would totally buy a BBMak album today. Good times.

I love you. I feel like I was their only fan.

[katietornado]

Dude, Marie, I seriously thought I was the only one who remembered 2ge+her. My friends and I all sang the songs, like "you + me, it doesn't = us, you took my car, now I gotta take the bus."

Wow, you even remembered the plus sign in 2ge+her! LOL. So sad how the youngest one in the group died.

Also, for anyone who didn't know, the lead guy in LFO died not too long ago of cancer.

Until you're back here baaaaybaaaaaaaay!

Right??

Also, should out for Five. Baby when the lights go out . . . (shaddup)

I think I read somewhere that the Hanson brothers (in the picture) married sisters.

Never mind. Not sisters. Though Taylor's wife was 4.5 months pregnant when they got married. Why did I think that band was a fundie family?

Yeah, and one of the remaining ones now spends his time twittering his anti-abortion activities. I posted about that either late last night or the night before.

[marie427]

Before I re-opened this thread I immediately thought, "Wait, I just realized 5ive isn't on the list."

But more surprisingly, neither are the members of Take That.

[bqbride]

I don't know the name of the band, but they sing "you don't know you're beautiful." I have no idea why, but I know every word and I know that the shaggy-haired skinny one is the cute one. Who the fuck are these people and how did they so effectively sneak into my brain?

Is there any NKOTB talk in here? No? Okay, I don't care about this thread.

Did you read the list?? At the very least, scroll down to #1!!!!

ETA: Ha, just saw your edit.

NKOTB was popular when I was in my Disco phase.

Yea, I said disco. Before that it was classical music. I am and always was a complete weirdo.

[marie427]

I do not agree that Jonathan Knight is the second hottest NKOTB member. That would be Jordan. And Danny is fug and shouldn't even be on the list, I don't care how nice his muscles are. I mean, I'd do him but he'd have to wear a paper bag over his head.

::BBMak dance party with habs and marie::

Lord yes I loved them. I am definitely of the boy band generation. Does anyone remember Jordan Knight's dirty little song "Give It to You"? Swoon.

Whatever I said, whatever I did, I didn't mean it, I just want you back for good.

FOR REAL THOUGH!!!!!

I may have listened to that song ad nauseum just to teach myself the harmony.

God I love proboards.

[marie427]

I am so surprised Robbie Williams is the guy that hit it big after Take That and not the blond lead guy (see, I can't even remember his name, that's how un-famous he is). But I do love Robbie Williams.

[UMaineTeach]

yup, still like Taylor.
