Log this in the “crap that I don’t care about” category.

Apparently, New Kids on the Block and The Backstreet Boys are planning on touring together.

Ummm….why????

A “source” was quoted as saying:

“The idea is to recreate the boy band phenomenon. It will be the ultimate ladies’ night out.”

I don’t understand this.  I also didn’t understand it when NKTOB toured a couple of years ago and they sold out, like, every show.  Do girls still like this music?  Or is it grown ass women who are going to these concerts out of nostalgia?  Look, I listened to the New Kids when I was 7 too, but I have no intention of going to their concerts.  Why?  Because the music sucked then and it still sucks now.

The Backstreet Boys recently came through Calgary and I literally laughed out loud when they announced the concert on the radio.  Laughed because I thought it was sad and pathetic.  But there were people calling in, dying to win tickets to go see them…who are these people?!?!?

Tanya: It’s women 5-10 years older than us that remember how super awesome (<- that’s sarcastic, btw) they were back in the day and want to relive the glory years. Maybe now that these women have grown into adults their crushes will take notice and they might get a wink from one of the boys on stage. That’s my best guess.
