Questionable List

It'a a no-brainer that the list should read: 1. Backstreet Boys ...... 2. NSYNC .... 3. Westlife ..... Some of the groups mentioned are not necessarily considered "Boy Bands" even though they consist of all males....

westlife

Westlife should be number 4 or 5. They got alot of their songs went number one. Unlike the other boybands they have been together for 14 years without any splitting.
—Guest tommy

I agree with that point about your title

Yeah, it would have been better if it was called, "Best Boy Bands in America and Europe." Also for you One Direction fans, they don't deserve a spot on this list just because they are hot. Yes I admit, they are not bad, but still.

The new Beatles

Tooko my daughter 16 and her friend to NYC to see the Todays show. It was the friest time I ever witnessed my usuallt reserved daughter freak out, scream and shake My goodness. Unfortunately we arrived at 4 AM and had to go to the reaR. Couldn't see much, although mostly everyone was shouting "TURN AROUND". Never happened. My family lives in England and my daughter has been several times, she is so very proud of these talented and good looking band. Voice that blend like ice cream and cake. I at 55 love them as well. Who knew? As Tori, my daughter is attempting to go to the University of London she is hoping to if not marry Niall, at least become friends. She believes nothing is impossible. We shall be on line for Saturday night tickets April 7th. As I mentioned this is rare for Tori to stalk these fine young men I shall aid her in her endevour to perhaps see them in person. Welcome to the States boys, enjoy, and be happy.

I think Blue would deserve a place in this top 10. It's a good chart, but still...

—Guest meci

DBSK (TVXQ)

By the way, since you're probably ignorant of this, TVXQ = DBSK = Tohoshinki... based on Chinese, Korean, and Japanese pronunciation of the same characters... They one the World Guiness Record multiple years for having the largest fan club and being the most photographed celebrities on earth (500 million times)... so get out of your hole and see the rest of the world!!!
