Backstreet's back, all right! Kevin Richardson has rejoined the boy band for the first time since he quit the group in 2006, marking his comeback with a performance on Good Morning America's Summer Concert Series on 31 August.

Kevin explained his decision to rejoin BSB, saying it felt like a family. "Being back with my brothers again feels great. I love these guys. We have gone through so much together," he said. "We just have a chemistry... a bond that will always be."

Some of the most well-written pop music has been written for these guys.  They can sing a capella and their chemistry with each other is so good.  Any song by them is so nostalgic for me.  Can't say I was bereft when Kevin left, but it's nice to see him back.  We all knew that'd happen, right?  :D

How I wish I could see them once in my life in person, but then again, would I survive meeting those Back Street MEN!!!  Welcome Back Kevin, I missed your voice!!!! :)

Good Idea: Find 4 guys in 1988 that can actually sing, start an a capella quartet, later add multiple ensembles and make millions of people happy using talent!!

 

Goof Idea: : Literally giving no-talent, "hard to do well", "homemade/nationwide​ televised audition" dudes a license to ruin MUSIC for the next 22+ years.

 

Im hitting RESET, why is nothing happening!?!?!?
