CBS's 60 minutes had an interview and clips of all
the bands that were once and still with Lou
Pearlman's management/record label. It told about
the BSB suing them and they had an interview
with BSB's new label mates, 'N Sync. They said their
time was up for TransCon. They also
showed clips of when BSB first started as well as
them singing. The reporters said that the BSB
didn't want to be interviewed or talk about them
suing Lou Pearlman. Some of the others who
appeared were: Take Five, C-Note, & LFO.

Well what did they talk about? Of course how he created
the BSB just for the money....it was
straight out. How he was talking about Backstreet
Boys, like money objects, he said ''We put it
out there and if it works it does if it doesn't
work well it doesn't'' or something like that....and
he kinda admitted that almost all of the boy bands
after the BSB were replicas, although 'N Sync
claims that they were formed before he found them.
[NOW don't be mad at me I am just saying
what they said] So they talked about how the whole
boy band thing worked, and then they
showed some early BSB clips [the first ones that
were not really seen a lot] So he basicly was
sitting there laughing about it....saying "... well
I just find them and sit back and relax as I see the
world go crazy about them". He knows that once kids
go crazy about boy bands they will spend
lots of money on their merchandise.
You should have seen me watching it with my mouth
wide open mouth and my eyes nearly popping
out of my head! So they mentioned the BSB dropping
Lou and getting new management [she
means a record company], and 'N Sync doing the same
thing.
For the last five minutes of the story they showed
the newer bands that he has created like
Take5, Innosence, C-Note and LFO. If they don't
work out well the it's "bye bye kids we don't
wanna bother with you anymore!"
So if you watched it then you saw some cute BSB and
'N Sync clips as well as listening to
Pearlman talking about our Backstreet Boys as just
another money making machine...
