I thought Make Me was promising vocal-wise but I'm starting to worry how her vocals will sound on the album cause private show and clumsy can be grating at parts
OK LOU PEARLMAN DIED like thank you for nsync (and backstreet boys and LFO) but like rot in hell dude
good fucking riddance to that piece of trash. can't believe he was also directly related to art garfunkel.
surprised that many are being like "not a good business man" um no not a good man, period. Especially Aaron. It's pretty well known that Lou molested his older brother. Like.
Nick has said all the members of BSB have very mixed emotions on him and it looks like thats true of many Lou exploited. They're in a weird position where they feel they owe all their fame to Lou but then of course Lou is a bad man. I'm not surprised many are tiptoeing around the assault either cause they prob don't wanna be speculated as a victim since there's a stigma there but of course that's just a guess. I can't even imagine if I felt I owed my success to such a terrible person. There is clearly still a lot of pain and complex emotions with the ppl he worked with which is super sad
Vulture compiled a list of reactions: they're mostly mixed, like you can tell that while they credit him with their fame, they're really conflicted on how to respond diplomatically. I think that's a flag of how manipulative he was: that he could swindle them out of so much money and they're still figuring out how to understand what happened. I feel so bad for Nick and Aaron, because their family life was shit, which made them perfect targets.
Kevin's father also passed away from cancer before bsb blew up and Lou took him under his wing as an important mentor. He really took advantage of people's situations and exploited them. True trash.
Honestly surprised. I've heard that song a few times and just did NOT see it becoming a hit, even with the artists involved... but I have been proven wrong again it seems
I listened last night and I think it is hilariously bad. Once Khaled popped up it was almost impossible to even pretend it was serious. I dug Rocky but that's bc I swoon at his voice 90% of the time.
I definitely agree it's pretty bad, but it's a good cause and it's great to see so many people together for it, so I can't knock it too hard
