Confession time people, so this might be obvious to some of you that know me really well BUT I must confess my love for BOY BANDS and TEEN IDOLS.
NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, 98 degrees, LFO, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Mandy Moore, Lil Bow Wow, the list could go on, and the 90's were full of them.
My love started when I first heard "Tearin up my heart" and saw the handsome men of NSYNC the best boy band in my opinion... (I was in about 4th grade at this time) I was more then obsessed with them, every magazine I would cut out pictures of them and post them on my bulletin board, race home from school to watch the music videos on TRL and of course I had my favorite member. Funny story one of my friends also loved NSYNC and she put the poster of them on the ground next to her bed with a blanket over them when she would go to sleep. Hahahaha it was hilarious!
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, had my heart with his bleach blonde curls and killer dance moves. I just knew we would one day make the perfect couple, I mean our birthdays are both in January so I thought it was a sign. Makes sense right? In a ten-year-old mind it totally did.
Fact is that Justin and I just weren't compatible, I mean who could compete with Britney Spears, I couldn't. Well maybe now, I mean the whole shaving her head thing was crazy-town but now he is with the gorgeous Jessica Biel, I am so happy for them. Ha sense the sarcasm? Ok I still have a crush on that fool.
Anyway, the generation now is experiencing what most of us did in our childhood, the explosion of teens being super successful and becoming idols. Now its, Justin Bieber, The Wanted, One Direction, Selena Gomez, Carly Rae, just to name a few. People are going CRAZY for them.
Let me set one record straight, sorry Justin and Selena your teen power couple title will never top the original Justin and Britney duo.. CLASSIC!
So now that I am in my 20's does this mean I can't be obsessed too? Oops I did it again... too late... I have the Bieber Fever and not sure it will be gone anytime soon. I actually just bought his new CD, I have no shame I freakin love it!!! I love One Direction, The Wanted and well Carly Rae, I probably won't call you but I love your song. Despite the fact I think she will be a one hit wonder:)
Why do I love them or their songs? Well if you like them you already know why. The songs are catchy, about being in love, cheesy, yet clean, and always seem bring out some type of dance moves, or just acting out what they are singing about. AND let's get real we all wish we were teen idols and famous!
I honestly think I will be listening to boy bands until well forever. Yep I will probably be the crazy mom bumping the songs in my car and taking my kids to their concerts and all that jazz. Pray for my children, haha they will be so embarrassed!
But REALLY I think this picture is wayyyy more EMBARRASSING. What were they thinking? Seriously.
XOXO
