I love the lighter stories that are still SO interesting but not as emotionally charged. I’m so happy to see you back, and doing alright. I hope you and Josh have an amazing 2022!
@@annychest718 i think the original commenter means less gory stories. i totally agree - sometimes i have a hard time with the really gruesome stories. also i have hella anxiety so i get paranoid at some of the stuff she talks about lol
I know Kendall struggles with medical stuff but I'm so grateful she continues to put content out there every single week!! The amount of research, recording, and editing that goes into these videos is insane.
Crazy how the Kpop industry mirrors everything Lou Pearlman did. Having them train for years before their debut, not letting them have any money until their debts have been payed, multiple groups under the same management debuting at the same time.
Yes but, a key difference is that it is hard as hell to even get out of a contract with Korean companies. There’s so much that goes into it and not only that but they are way more strict in general. New groups can’t contact family or friends, a lot of new groups don’t even have self phones or if they do they share one. Also fan service is very tight which makes it hard for dating/ freedom. KPOP is built differently
It’s so strange how this tactic still works after ALL of the examples from the music groups of the 50s & 60s. With artist in the 80s thru to the 2000s also. Maybe it’s cultural because all the Black groups & bands back then had this problem. The movie The Five Heartbeats showcases this. TLC, the most popular girl group encountered this with LaFace Records (Babyface & his wife). Toni Braxton too under the same label. Puff Daddy is known for it. I think creatives/artists are so eager for the fame and entrapped with the glitz and glam, they forget to cross their t’s and dot their i’s. I think most feel they’ll go through that struggle in hopes they’ll have an “successful” outcome like N’Sync or Justin himself. Even with the sexual perversion and essentially being high end escorts. Maybe it’s worth it to some 🤷🏽♀️. Couldn’t be me though.
So crazy that “Bye bye bye” was inspired by this snake! “I loved you endlessly. And you weren’t there for me” “I don’t want to be a fool for you. Just another player in a game for two”. This is so very sad! They trusted and loved him. The song definitely hits differently.
That's not true and just rumor people made up and spread around the internet. The actual lyrics of it weren't written or inspired by him. It was written by Swedish songwriter Andreas Carlsson for his girlfriend who dumped him to marry another guy. He wrote it for another boy band, but they rejected it, so shopped it around and N'sync bought it. The guy's ex it was written for stayed married to the guy for decades, raising a family, so she probably feels her saying bye bye bye was a good decision.
@@betsybabf748 they picked the song as a symbol. To N'sync, this song was saying goodbye to Lou. I'm sure it was written to mean something different, but the reason behind why they picked and and what it meant to the band was something completely different. It's not a rumor, the band actually explained these things.
I didn't know both groups were created by the same person. I'm in genuine shock. I never really got into Nsync but I listen to the Backstreet Boys till this day. These kids were being exploited, and this was back in the day were you had to put in actual WORK, as in perform in malls for promo, rehearse vocals, choreo, interviews and photoshoots...no 30 second tik tok ad and IG posts today. So many snakes in the industry.
He had was making more bands even while getting sued from BS and Nsync and people were still signing with him just because they knew he could get them a deal. And Tell me Aaron Carter wasnt groomed. Smh
Yep…. As an Aussie heterosexual male aged 42, I really struggled to actually want to watch this one to begin with. But, being Kendall who never fails to impress, I gave it a go. 3 minutes in I was convinced that I’d be watching it in its entirety. Kendall is great. ✌️😎👍🍻🍻🇦🇺💙
I'm always down for one of these fraud stories from Kendall! They're always so interesting! This one was especially wild. Unbelievable that these guys who seemingly had so much fame on the outside were dealing with this bs behind the scenes. I know that kind of stuff happens in the entertainment/music industry all the time, but it still shocks me. Also, that last little fact about Bye Bye Bye being a reference to Pearlman makes the song slap harder imo!
I am musician and seeing Nick Carter be in a band at 14 while his bandmates are in their teens/young adults. That is just so much pressure for a young kid to have.
the Jacksons, Selena’s family band (can’t remember the name), Hanson, the Debarges, Jonas Brothers, Destiny’s Child….all child band either made up by siblings or led by a family member who worked kids well past what should be allowable under labor laws. What Lou Perlman did wasn’t new, he just happened to be a scammer who wasn’t just a music industry snake but ran it all on the backs of a HUGE Ponzi Scheme.
This is just that reminder that true crime doesn't always mean death and gore. You can hear about these kinds of crimes and still be ingaged. Also helps when the story telling is just A+. 💕
My sister in law was too. I knew every song from their first CD not because I wanted too or liked them but because my sister in law played the CD on repeat day and night over and over 24/7 🥴 I couldn't get their music out of my head lol I had to remind myself of my own band boy obsession with new kids on the block all the time
Same! I have a picture of the first time I held my baby brother right after he was born and I'm in a BSB shirt, a necklace with each of their names on it, and I love Nick on my nails. Hahahaha!
This story was an absolute shock to me! Between this and Britney and Jamie Lynn I feel my childhood was just a huge sham. That the good stuff was just a facade. Just crazy to think about
Honestly, everything about Hollywood and celeb culture is just an illusion. Nothing is real when it comes to celebrities and the powerful, abusive people surrounding them.
@@bashayeralghareeb4222 britney's ig is a definate cry for help...they were all teens there was child labor laws that lou and other nasty adults broke ...theres no reason for any of them to work like that as preteens and teenagers
I always thought Lou Perlman was slimy. When this story first came out, it really disturbed me because I was a Mom of young teens. I’m so glad you are covering this story. It needs to be told and retold to protect our youth.
Finally someone is talking about this case. As a Backtreet Boys fan, I have longed known about what this man did to them and N'Sync. He really did them dirty which is why I'm so proud of BSB for being where they are today.
I literally watch Kendall's videos 8 hours a day 40 hours a week while I work and it makes my days go by SO much faster! Keep doing what you're doing, everyone loves you!
Gosh this story hits home. I was boyband obsessed as a teenager. Huge Backstreet fan. Met tons of boy band members. I actually even went to high school with "clay" (jeff) from take 5. After he left take 5. Lou was an awful human. Thanks for covering this Kendall!
This story was by far the most interesting, most insane story about a conman I have heard in many months. Thank you for beautifully making this video, I absolutely loved your background as well! It looks so cozy and gorgeous, neat and pretty. The colors you always have just make me smile, you are also so flawless Kendall! 😍✨🤍😩🤚🏻
That Disney concert changed my life haha. I remember them running adverts for the show. I didn’t know who NSYNC was but I was excited to watch the show. Two of my friends came over for the premiere and we became instant mega fans. I’d later go on to have a room covered in boy bands, and have an NSYNC fan site. They were also my first concert to attend! I got an all baby blue outfit for the show because it was Justin’s favorite color 😆
when you got dressed in his fav color, did you think he was gonna notice you? i ask cause that’s exactly what i did at a justin bieber concert in 2010 lmfaoo
Omg same!!! I remember I was at my aunts house (the one who had cable) and I accidentally stumbled across the Disney show. I fell in love right away 😊 Like, I can see myself at my aunts house alone in the living room with that big boxy screen tv. NSYNC and BSB were such a big part of my adolescence now that I look back ❤️
@@misseselise3864 hahaaaa probably! I thought there might be a meet and greet or something? I was only 10 years old but I wrote in my diary that when I was 20, JT would only be 27 and that wouldn’t be weird lol
I swear this stuff happened so much back in the 90s and even before the 90s. It's insane how record labels and managers would steal so much money from these artist/creators. It's so saddening those poor people were worked to insane breaking points and given almost nothing but free meals and thrown parties. Like wth.
@@EclecticDD ha I have. Thats why I stated even before the 90s. I've read up on all the things they did to child actors and adult actresses. Its all horrible. Because we need to be entertained and they want money they exploited/exploit living beings. It's sick.
I have watched Lance's documentary SOOOOOOOO many times. So many. I remember watching Making The Band and thinking Ikaika's brother was being unreasonable. But now I realize he was protecting his brother. He was able to look past the contracts and he saw something he didn't like about Lou.
Fun fact. I was driving around in Orlando, where I lived at the time, and I was driving by a car dealership and heard some people singing. It was so good and I turned around and drove onto the lot. It was *NSYNC before they became famous. I still have the two photos I took of Joey Fatone and Justin Timberlake. I actually lived 20 minutes NE of where Lou lived. I also have a friend in Orlando who is good friends with Joey Fatone.
It’s crazy how stuff like this isnt talked about as much as it should be ( or maybe I’m just too young (b.2001)), the industry hides so much. It makes me wonder how much the kpop industry also hides with contracts, and how Lance described “triple-dipping” makes me question how often that happens
same thing happened with sue knight known for being a snake. exploitation, lying , even the fact he was the last to be seen with tupac that fateful night (rip)
I watched the official documentary years ago and knew the whole story, but I still watched your whole video so I could relive the 90’s. 😂 I enjoyed NKOTB, BSB, and *NSYNC equally without any shame.
i myself was an *NSYNC girl, totally true what that meme said. i lost friends over it. i remember when i secretly got a bsb cd i would hide in my own room and listen on my walkman. i was scared to be caught being a closeted bsb fan. but as an adult i love them both even though my heart will always 100% be with *NSYNC and anything my boys do!! i remember them going to court, i thought they would be over or disband but thank god they won! look at how BOTH bands revolutionized music and the way they especially justin timberlake still are changing music 25+ years!!
If they weren't there, they'll never understand... but we were really on some gang shit!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 It was either/or... anybody who liked both openly, simply could not be trusted! You had no loyalty! Friendships legit ended over who you liked more😅🤦🏾♀️🤣 I too was an *Nsync fan (as we're women of culture🥂), but looking back, Backstreet was awesome, too. Their videos were fire... Backstreet's back is still a classic lol. I remember when the "Bye,Bye, Bye" video premiered on TRL! Lord your comment brought back memories!! Thank you for that stroll down memory lane!!
Me toooo! Except it got me bullied so that wasnt great but it’s crazy realising that this awful man was the one actually who made it that way in the first place! We could’ve all been having sleepovers!!!!!
Haha I listened to disturbed during this time and "down with the sickness" had this line that said something like "insane you're gonna die" and one of my best friends thought it said "NSYNC you're gonna die" and almost stopped talking to me 🤣🤣🤣
I vowed to only listen to NSYNC. I was going to be their most dedicated fan. I’d turn off the radio if BSB came on. After a few months tho I caved and started listening to BSB and plastering their posters on my wall lol
This comment reminds me of the popular twilight years when I was in school and people would fight insanely over team Edward or Jacob. The fighting, the drama, the betrayal, the broken friendships. It was nuts. I wasn’t into twilight so it was quite a sight to behold. If I grew up in the time of NYSYNC vs BSB I would’ve been like you probably, an *NYSYNC person who secretly likes BSB xD I like songs from both but definitely prefer *NYSYNC ✨
As I kid I was a fan of both bands and would practice singing their songs in my room, I still listen to both bands to this day and now my kids do too! I had no idea any of this background info, my mind is blown! Thanks for another great video!
i really enjoy when you do these types of videos not beacuse its unimportant to spread awareness of victims of crime stories...but because we are living in such dark trying times and i think we all aprecciate watching something that doesnt make me completely question humanity hahaha. Youre awesome, Kendall! always here to support your hard work. have a great day:)
I watched the documentary Lance made, and my jaw dropped when he said they only got $10,000 checks after all their success. Also, I’m pretty sure Lou did something to Aaron Carter because the way he so vehemently denied anything happening seems weird. He clearly has some psychological issues. It’s sad
As much of a joke Aaron is, that boy went through some traumatic ass things and I can only wonder who has abused me throughout his life. That whole family has a lot going on.
That's interesting that you said that, because I just left a comment about Aaron too and I used that same word, "vehemently". His reaction was really heartbreaking because it was so clear that he was in pain. I just hope he can get some help to work through whatever trauma he's been through
@@Lostinmyhead23 it makes sense why he always defended michael jackson but not other people in the business , molest victims can sense whos a molester and whos a victim..i think like both of them were victims of molestation
this actually really opened my eyes, like holy shit… I get that he’s a victim of Hollywood himself, but what really makes me mad is that when it’s all said and done, you’d think Justin, after having experienced getting royally fucked over by the industry, would’ve had some grace towards Britney and Janet and would’ve done his best to defend them to prevent them from going down the same path, but nah. He allowed those women to get fucked over the same way he did - Janet was literally blacklisted in the industry and nearly lost her career because he let her take the fall, and then we saw Britney lose damn near everything because he did his best to paint her as the bad guy post-breakup in his music AND thru the media. this really made me look at him differently.
Absolutely! 100%! Every time I hear "Cry Me a River" on the radio, I think; for God's sake, never play that song again - play a Britney song every hour, on the hour, and give that girl some dignity (not to mention $ her family stole). That song should be forever nixed from radio playlists.
@@amberhastings5612 I saw this a few weeks ago on TH-cam and I have to tell someone ha. A few years ago JT hosted SNL, and literally in one of the skits, he f*cking mocks Britney for the same thing. He adds a completely unnecessary comment into the skit (which has LITERALLY NOTHING to do with sex or Britney or anything like that). It was so obviously a written line, which also means so many people saw that before the show and thought it was okay. Disgusting.
I knew the story--I remember NSYNC going to court and being released from their record label and ended up producing "Bye-Bye-Bye," in result. I also remember that Disney concert---I was a fan of both BSB and NSYNC with zero shame! All my friends loved both as kids and we'd go crazy with the million posters on the walls and listening to their albums for hours etc! I went to the BSB reunion tour in 2019 proudly with my husband. I also was a huge fan of Innocence too--Britney Spears was in that group initially before going solo and becoming...Britney Spears :)
When you said "when it comes to Backstreet Boys vs NSYNC", I was holding my breath, and immediately felt relief when you said BSB...the rivalery was real y'all and still is haha! Love love love your content btw.
The rivalry is sad imo because of what caused it. I’m pretty sure that the band members get along now that they’re not being pitted against each other by Pearlman, they have done interviews together and worked on movies and projects.
I like these famous legal cases because it’s still true crime and it’s really informative and interesting. I prefers these kind of videos as it makes me look at things differently. Thanks Kendall for a well researched and interesting case. Love the new set up. The bunny in the background made my day.
I watched this Documentary a while back and was blown away from what I heard. So glad to have you back gorgeous, and hope you had a wonderful time off with Josh, just taking time for one another ❤
I’m a new grad nurse and always have trouble falling asleep before work due to anxiety. I will always put one of your youtube videos on before bed and they always help me fall asleep. Your voice is so soothing and I really get lost in the story you’re telling. I appreciate you and your videos so much! Thank you 💕
Ultimately I am glad both N*Sync and Backstreet Boys won their law cases, and eventually Lou went to jail. Thank you for this amazingly well researched video Kendall.
this is completely off topic but recently i’ve been rewatching your old videos as i have absolutely nothing else to watch 😂 i just wanna say KENDALL! the EVOLUTION of your video’s !!! the audio, the background, everything! you put your absolute heart and soul into your videos and always have! you almost have aged backwards… you look so so gorgeous and glowy 😍 i absolute adore watching you grow. thanks for being my comfort at night anyways… back to the video 🥳
It's crazy to think that all the while we were admiring them and buying their records and thought how successful they were and how rich they were, they weren't earning anything. 😳
fr. sometimes i say thank u i am not famous , the pressure. the mind games. ect. more money more problems. wake up , work out, eat, work doing something ur good at, come home. the simple things are really nice.
I was working at Burger King when they did the commercial for Burger King (I was probably 16/17 at the time) so it's sad to think I was making more money being the cashier at Burger King than the boy band promoting us.
I really enjoyed this one, and literally had no clue about half this stuff Lou did. It’s insane. I hope you do more types of these videos in the future! It’s a nice break from true crime/missing persons cases.
I'm so glad this story is getting covered. I have heard bits and pieces over the years, but I am just so relieved BSB, N*sync and the other victims were able to get out of this toxic man's life. I'm really happy to see them all grow & have a better lives 🥰
This was so interesting to watch, grew up in the 90s myself but has no clue this was happening. I'm a BSB girl too! Please do more of these videos sprinkled with the true crime ones. Love you girl! Can't wait for the sesh :D
I was a big boy band/pop music lover and was obsessed with NSYNC. I remember hearing inklings and rumors about Lou for yearsssss and watched all sorts of docs and interviews about him. When I saw you released a new video about this today, omg I never clicked so fast! Lol I haven't hit the 2 minute mark yet but I'm already ready.
So we’re not gonna talk about how this man is literally the human version Bubba Bass from SpongeBob? The one that hides pickles under his tongue? THE RESEMBLANCE IS UNCANNY
The relief I felt when you said you prefer BSB 😌 Thank you for putting in so much work and effort and time for us to enjoy. I'm sure it isn't easy, but know we all love you so much. ❤
Love the new space and the fireplace!! Sooo excited to see the new podcast studios!! I hope you had an amazing and relaxing vacation! You deserve it and should do it WHENEVER you need it! Especially because you work so hard!!! You're such an amazing woman! We love you so much Kendall and always put out good energy for you! Love this video!!!
It's nice to hear you saying you're feeling way better, and this case I wanted so bad you to take it, and knowing that you are a BSB fan YES! Thanks a lot, I so much love the way you talk and develop the cases, even the hardest ones are much easier to hear with you.
Love the new filming space! You look amazing and refreshed. I remember when they first started talking about what they went through with Lou! He is completely awful and stole millions from them.
This was a super interesting story! I was delighted to get my notification that you had a new video up. You’ve got a great ability with storytelling and your voice is so easy to listen to.
So glad you're back, hope you had a nice rest, loved the story and actually learnt a lot I didn't know, I had posters of both bands all over my walls as a teenager 😂 on another note I am obsessing about your background!!!!
Also, recently a few members from Nsync and Backstreet Boys have been in each other's tiktoks and doing little performances together ☺️ it's nice to see them together and playing around and singing each other's songs together
I am OBSESSED with the Backstreet Boys to this day & LOVE watching your videos so this was a particular treat for me to listen to as I catch up on paperwork at my office!!! Thank you!!!
I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this before, especially with the scope of the fraud here. Thank you so much for putting out great videos week after week! I’m always exited when I get a notification when you post a new video. And I’m glad you took a break and are feeling refreshed ❤️
So happy to see you back! I grew up in this era too and I am in shock, I never knew that the boy bands were put together by the same man nor that they went through all of this. It’s awful to see talented people be exploited, at the end of the day it’s abuse but it’s something that needs to be talked about. Others need to learn from the past and protect themselves. Thank you for your hard work!!!
Wow! This was such an interesting video! I had no idea about this whole story behind the fame of BSB and NSYNC with Lou Pearlman! I am also a big BSB fan too myself 😉 but I enjoyed watching this. I always enjoy watching your videos Kendall. Glad you’re back, and looking forward to seeing more of your new content coming up. Hope you have a great new year 2022 😊
Even from the photos you showed, Lou appears creepy. I felt creeped out even just by looking at the photos. So I really wasn’t surprised when you mentioned his inappropriate behaviour. Also, I was born in 2000 but I was always a BSB fan. My mum loved them and listened to them even though she was an older fan, so I know a lot of their songs off by heart from listening to them during car journeys! Such good memories 🥰
The bands are fairly friendly now, Joey even had a part in a movie that Nick Carter wrote and starred in "Dead 7". Nick, Joey, Howie and AJ came to my local con and touched very lightly on their past and were teasing each other about stuff. I think the panel is available on youtube somewhere
Chris, Joey, AJ and Nick hang out a lot. They're friendly all the time on Instagram and they even did some shows together last year with a member of Boyz II Men.
I had front row tickets to the No Strings Attached concert. I knew when that album came out it was about Lou. I had to support that album! Plus Pink was the opener. I remember the division between the 2 bands. I loved them both and wouldn't take crap from people who tried to make me choose. "I'm allowed to like whoever I want!" My 90s mantra. 🤣
Oh, I love this genre of crime video. It's so interesting and you always delve into your topics in such an engaging way. I'd totally love to see more videos like this!
I'm so glad Lou was held accountable in the end, though thinking about the creepy things he did to the bad members will always make me feel so icky. Tho the fact that Bye Bye Bye is about him makes me love it even more lmao Anyways so happy to see you back!! I'm glad you're recharged and I can't wait to see what this year brings!
Glad your back and refreshed, It could be seen in your Aura!!!...Many Blessings!!!..Now let's get a move on Nena!!!..Can't wait for your next ones!!!..P.S now I know, the album and this story is in my head with a big *WOWWWW!!!*.."THAT DIRTY SNAKE!!!..Love the manimals too!!!..Again Many Blessings!!!
Kendall this was so good! I was so happy to see your face. Chris Stokes is definitely the black version of this guy Lou. Chris Stokes discovered B2K, Immature/IMX and Jhene Aiko! That would be an interesting story as well.
Loved this story! It just highlights what’s going on in the music industry still to this day…artists are still being screwed by their record deals and taken advantage of by the industry. Only thing that’s changed is the music industry is a lot more savvy and educated on how to actually get away with this. It’s why artist are fighting for their masters and going independent now.
Growing up, I was amazed to learn that it was BSB vs N*Sync in the US, because here in Sweden, BSB more or less reigned supreme. The only other boyband that came even remotely close was Westlife.
Thanks for sharing this! I had no clue it’s actually sad he took an advantage of these young men because they were working so hard and weren’t seeing anything
Thank you Kendall for your time & effort put into researching these stories. We appreciate you! I have heard of these bands but did not know the story behind it. Thank you very much.
I love the combination of stories you share. I absolutely love the true crime murder stories and the fraud is a nice break in between. Especially this one since I am a late 80s/early 90s kid so I was a huge 90s boy band fan. Thank you for sharing
Hope you had a great break Kendall!! Excited to watch. You're always making the day so much better. Much love. 💚 love the new setup!! I'm a 90s baby too so cant wait to watch this.
I showed my mum this video and it’s the first TH-cam video that she’s seen that isn’t a how to or a cute/funny animal video and she loved it. She said she loved how you told this story and she learnt so much about the bands that were popular back then. Thankyou ❤️
I've ALWAYS loved The Backstreet Boys, I knew all the songs, had all the posters, CDs! I still listen to them when I run errands lol my daughter is 11 and she knows most if not all the songs now too 😅
I’m so happy I found you at the end of last year and I’m so excited to start a new year with your amazing content!! 🤩🥳 I have ADHD and sometimes it’s hard to focus when it comes to true crime stories etc. but the way you tell the story like we’re going on a journey together makes it hard to unfocus 😅 I love your video’s so much and I love getting to know you and all your animals! And also; thank you! ❤️❤️🥰
I loved NSYNC and Backstreet Boys! I still do. I knew that everyone has always said "Pick which is better: BSB or NSYNC". I could never choose one over the other. I thought it was all just for the Press, media, Hollywood, etc. I never knew about this story. I also wouldn't have guessed that the No Strings Attached album was about this. After hearing the story, it makes alot of sense. I had also always wondered how the bands formed and why they were so similar. Now I know. Thank you for sharing this story, Kendall. I'm glad to see you are back.
I was obsessed with the Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears as a kid and I knew about most of this that was available knowledge at the time, so many artists have “breakup” songs that weren’t even about romantic relationships but about cutting ties in their professional lives at that time and even recently.
Yes girl, I was team backstreet all the way. Then when I was 16 we drove to Florida and I took a Nsync album and fell in love with them and realized that I could like both. Great video. ❤️
Love the new background!! It feels really warm & cozy especially w/the fur-babies running around 🙂 Can't wait to see all the new backgrounds/studio for all of y'alls channels!
I can definitely tell you were a BSB fan by the way you said *NSYNC last names. Anywho, it is wild that still today this rivalry among fans (who are good and grown now) lives on. Also, those of us who were older teens and fans knew about Lou and all the shits.
I loved both boy bands, but I was an *NSYNC girl at heart. Once I heard the allegations that he manipulated and abused those boys, it broke my heart bc they were just young kids.
I was OBSESSED with Nsync. I watched their Disney channel concert dozens of times and my first ever CD was their first album. I squealed when I unwrapped it on Christmas morning, I didn't even have a CD player but I was so excited. My mom gave me my first CD player later that day. Gotta love divorced parents lol. My best friend was a BSB fan and we argued about it a lot but we remained friends. I still liked BSB just not nearly as much as Nsync. I still listen to both groups sometimes, I have a playlist called nostalgia that is full of late 90s and early 00s pop music.
Thanks for always putting content out for us despite going through personal struggles. You’re one of my favorite TH-camrs so thanks for always delivering quality content!
Lets take a moment to appreciate those adorable rabbits too! I just love her animals especially the cats and rabbits, thanks for sharing them with us Kendall :)
1991 baby here! Never knew about this and it blew my mind because I do look back and we really could only like one not both. Thanks for sharing this story!
I love the lighter stories that are still SO interesting but not as emotionally charged. I’m so happy to see you back, and doing alright. I hope you and Josh have an amazing 2022!

Omg he did a TLC scam all of Lou's cars & fancy house they were by him!
So crazy that “Bye bye bye” was inspired by this snake!
“I loved you endlessly. And you weren’t there for me” “I don’t want to be a fool for you. Just another player in a game for two”.
This is so very sad! They trusted and loved him. The song definitely hits differently.
Its why they named the record No Strings Attached...the puppet thing and cutting of the strings.
Sounds like Chris stokes and b2k
That's not true and just rumor people made up and spread around the internet. The actual lyrics of it weren't written or inspired by him. It was written by Swedish songwriter Andreas Carlsson for his girlfriend who dumped him to marry another guy. He wrote it for another boy band, but they rejected it, so shopped it around and N'sync bought it. The guy's ex it was written for stayed married to the guy for decades, raising a family, so she probably feels her saying bye bye bye was a good decision.
@@betsybabf748 they picked the song as a symbol. To N'sync, this song was saying goodbye to Lou. I'm sure it was written to mean something different, but the reason behind why they picked and and what it meant to the band was something completely different. It's not a rumor, the band actually explained these things.
Why does she say Jordache that way? She's too cute
I didn't know both groups were created by the same person. I'm in genuine shock. I never really got into Nsync but I listen to the Backstreet Boys till this day. These kids were being exploited, and this was back in the day were you had to put in actual WORK, as in perform in malls for promo, rehearse vocals, choreo, interviews and photoshoots...no 30 second tik tok ad and IG posts today. So many snakes in the industry.
So true!
Omg!! Where did u go?!
It wasn’t only those 2 bands
He had was making more bands even while getting sued from BS and Nsync and people were still signing with him just because they knew he could get them a deal. And Tell me Aaron Carter wasnt groomed. Smh
@@donnedukes2834 that may be part of the reason why Aaron defends Lou.
Can we all just take a second to appreciate Kendall’s storytelling skills 🙌🏻
Yes, Kendall is fabulous!!
Yep…. As an Aussie heterosexual male aged 42, I really struggled to actually want to watch this one to begin with. But, being Kendall who never fails to impress, I gave it a go. 3 minutes in I was convinced that I’d be watching it in its entirety.
Kendall is great.
✌️😎👍🍻🍻🇦🇺💙
And the mic quality is *chef's kiss*
I know!!!
@@Star-dj1kw She goes above and beyond, for me is the best at what she does.
I'm always down for one of these fraud stories from Kendall! They're always so interesting! This one was especially wild. Unbelievable that these guys who seemingly had so much fame on the outside were dealing with this bs behind the scenes. I know that kind of stuff happens in the entertainment/music industry all the time, but it still shocks me. Also, that last little fact about Bye Bye Bye being a reference to Pearlman makes the song slap harder imo!
And the album was called No Strings Attached.
When she finished the newspaper story and said “Turns out the whole thing was bs.” I knew this was going to be a wild ride.
Same lol
I am musician and seeing Nick Carter be in a band at 14 while his bandmates are in their teens/young adults. That is just so much pressure for a young kid to have.
girl really said "jackson 5 who?"
the Jacksons, Selena’s family band (can’t remember the name), Hanson, the Debarges, Jonas Brothers, Destiny’s Child….all child band either made up by siblings or led by a family member who worked kids well past what should be allowable under labor laws. What Lou Perlman did wasn’t new, he just happened to be a scammer who wasn’t just a music industry snake but ran it all on the backs of a HUGE Ponzi Scheme.
Exactly: look at what happen to Michael Jackson and his brothers (may he rest in peace).
This is just that reminder that true crime doesn't always mean death and gore. You can hear about these kinds of crimes and still be ingaged.
Also helps when the story telling is just A+.
💕
I was OBSESSSSSED with BSB. Like sleep outside a Rite Aid overnight for concert tickets-obsessed. What a time to be alive.
My sister in law was too. I knew every song from their first CD not because I wanted too or liked them but because my sister in law played the CD on repeat day and night over and over 24/7 🥴 I couldn't get their music out of my head lol I had to remind myself of my own band boy obsession with new kids on the block all the time
OMG, me too!
I was there too. Camping outside the mall to be first in the door to buy tickets.
now THATS dedication
Same! I have a picture of the first time I held my baby brother right after he was born and I'm in a BSB shirt, a necklace with each of their names on it, and I love Nick on my nails. Hahahaha!
This story was an absolute shock to me! Between this and Britney and Jamie Lynn I feel my childhood was just a huge sham. That the good stuff was just a facade. Just crazy to think about
You must have checked her latest tell all post about jamie lynn in her instagram feed
Honestly, everything about Hollywood and celeb culture is just an illusion. Nothing is real when it comes to celebrities and the powerful, abusive people surrounding them.
It’s so sad! 😭
@@bashayeralghareeb4222 britney's ig is a definate cry for help...they were all teens there was child labor laws that lou and other nasty adults broke ...theres no reason for any of them to work like that as preteens and teenagers
It could be worse. The era I grew up in it turned out that many of the kid's TV presenters and role models were a bunch of Paedophiles.
she's the only youtuber I can watch for over an hour and be entertained and relaxed the entire time.
❤️😀
same! 🥰
Yesssss👏🏼
Lou Pearlman also made a movie called “Longshot” that a lot of his victims were forced to star in and…omg. It’s worth a watch.
I’m so happy you commented this. Specially everyone watch her Jamie’s video ^^^^ !!!!!!
The only reason I knew a little bit about Lou Pearlman was because of you Jaime and your review of the movie!!
Ughhhhh so cringey!! 😬😳😆😆😆🤦🏻♀️😆
I love your Channel! You are the reason I know about him. I watched the documentary right after watching your video. He’s terrible.
I remember renting that from Blockbuster back in the day. It was a hot mess.
It was honestly really great to see both bands grow up and eventually become friends.
I always thought Lou Perlman was slimy. When this story first came out, it really disturbed me because I was a Mom of young teens. I’m so glad you are covering this story. It needs to be told and retold to protect our youth.
Yup, slimy pearlman, no big surprise there.
Never fully trust anyone who sees you as a paycheck
Finally someone is talking about this case. As a Backtreet Boys fan, I have longed known about what this man did to them and N'Sync. He really did them dirty which is why I'm so proud of BSB for being where they are today.
I’m a huge fan of theirs too, and this makes me feel so bad for them. I’m glad they were able to get away from him, the scumbag.
I literally watch Kendall's videos 8 hours a day 40 hours a week while I work and it makes my days go by SO much faster! Keep doing what you're doing, everyone loves you!
Awww thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Same! If I'm not watching the videos, I'm listening to the podcasts. Love her channel and podcasts!
Gosh this story hits home. I was boyband obsessed as a teenager. Huge Backstreet fan. Met tons of boy band members. I actually even went to high school with "clay" (jeff) from take 5. After he left take 5. Lou was an awful human. Thanks for covering this Kendall!
I used to love Clay lol
This story was by far the most interesting, most insane story about a conman I have heard in many months. Thank you for beautifully making this video, I absolutely loved your background as well! It looks so cozy and gorgeous, neat and pretty. The colors you always have just make me smile, you are also so flawless Kendall! 😍✨🤍😩🤚🏻
That Disney concert changed my life haha. I remember them running adverts for the show. I didn’t know who NSYNC was but I was excited to watch the show. Two of my friends came over for the premiere and we became instant mega fans.
I’d later go on to have a room covered in boy bands, and have an NSYNC fan site. They were also my first concert to attend! I got an all baby blue outfit for the show because it was Justin’s favorite color 😆
when you got dressed in his fav color, did you think he was gonna notice you? i ask cause that’s exactly what i did at a justin bieber concert in 2010 lmfaoo
YES! My cousins and I were OBSESSED with the DIsney concert of NSync. We watched it all summer that year. haha
Omg same!!! I remember I was at my aunts house (the one who had cable) and I accidentally stumbled across the Disney show. I fell in love right away 😊
Like, I can see myself at my aunts house alone in the living room with that big boxy screen tv. NSYNC and BSB were such a big part of my adolescence now that I look back ❤️
@@misseselise3864 hahaaaa probably! I thought there might be a meet and greet or something? I was only 10 years old but I wrote in my diary that when I was 20, JT would only be 27 and that wouldn’t be weird lol
So. How did you guys feel when he started dating Britney? 😂
I swear this stuff happened so much back in the 90s and even before the 90s. It's insane how record labels and managers would steal so much money from these artist/creators. It's so saddening those poor people were worked to insane breaking points and given almost nothing but free meals and thrown parties. Like wth.
Wait to you hear about what happened to the artists in the 50s.
@@EclecticDD ha I have. Thats why I stated even before the 90s. I've read up on all the things they did to child actors and adult actresses. Its all horrible. Because we need to be entertained and they want money they exploited/exploit living beings. It's sick.
The entertainment industry is just scary all around it seems
@@KingOfGaymes exactly they still exploit children
Same thing happened to TLC. They had a #1 album and no money.
I have watched Lance's documentary SOOOOOOOO many times. So many. I remember watching Making The Band and thinking Ikaika's brother was being unreasonable. But now I realize he was protecting his brother. He was able to look past the contracts and he saw something he didn't like about Lou.
Fun fact. I was driving around in Orlando, where I lived at the time, and I was driving by a car dealership and heard some people singing. It was so good and I turned around and drove onto the lot. It was *NSYNC before they became famous. I still have the two photos I took of Joey Fatone and Justin Timberlake. I actually lived 20 minutes NE of where Lou lived. I also have a friend in Orlando who is good friends with Joey Fatone.
Yo I LOVE hearing stories like that, u r very lucky that u caught a glimpse of one of these groups pre-fame
@@musiclover_kb4913 thank you. Back then I had no idea how famous they would become.
cool story.
It’s crazy how stuff like this isnt talked about as much as it should be ( or maybe I’m just too young (b.2001)), the industry hides so much. It makes me wonder how much the kpop industry also hides with contracts, and how Lance described “triple-dipping” makes me question how often that happens
Yeah, there's been shot of specials on him, and his trial and sentence were followed heavily by the media.
I'm ready. Let's fight.
@@craig8406 finally, an opponent has appeared
same thing happened with sue knight known for being a snake. exploitation, lying , even the fact he was the last to be seen with tupac that fateful night (rip)
K-Pop doesn't hide anything, it's been common knowledge for years. Look up YG Entertainment for more insight
As a chronic illness sufferer: I give you some major kudos for being able to do this podcast. I'm in the middle of resetting myself.
I watched the official documentary years ago and knew the whole story, but I still watched your whole video so I could relive the 90’s. 😂 I enjoyed NKOTB, BSB, and *NSYNC equally without any shame.
Same! Lol I’m
Me too
😂
i myself was an *NSYNC girl, totally true what that meme said. i lost friends over it. i remember when i secretly got a bsb cd i would hide in my own room and listen on my walkman. i was scared to be caught being a closeted bsb fan. but as an adult i love them both even though my heart will always 100% be with *NSYNC and anything my boys do!! i remember them going to court, i thought they would be over or disband but thank god they won! look at how BOTH bands revolutionized music and the way they especially justin timberlake still are changing music 25+ years!!
If they weren't there, they'll never understand... but we were really on some gang shit!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 It was either/or... anybody who liked both openly, simply could not be trusted! You had no loyalty! Friendships legit ended over who you liked more😅🤦🏾♀️🤣
I too was an *Nsync fan (as we're women of culture🥂), but looking back, Backstreet was awesome, too. Their videos were fire... Backstreet's back is still a classic lol. I remember when the "Bye,Bye, Bye" video premiered on TRL! Lord your comment brought back memories!! Thank you for that stroll down memory lane!!
Me toooo! Except it got me bullied so that wasnt great but it’s crazy realising that this awful man was the one actually who made it that way in the first place! We could’ve all been having sleepovers!!!!!
Haha I listened to disturbed during this time and "down with the sickness" had this line that said something like "insane you're gonna die" and one of my best friends thought it said "NSYNC you're gonna die" and almost stopped talking to me 🤣🤣🤣
I vowed to only listen to NSYNC. I was going to be their most dedicated fan. I’d turn off the radio if BSB came on.
After a few months tho I caved and started listening to BSB and plastering their posters on my wall lol
This comment reminds me of the popular twilight years when I was in school and people would fight insanely over team Edward or Jacob. The fighting, the drama, the betrayal, the broken friendships. It was nuts. I wasn’t into twilight so it was quite a sight to behold.
If I grew up in the time of NYSYNC vs BSB I would’ve been like you probably, an *NYSYNC person who secretly likes BSB xD I like songs from both but definitely prefer *NYSYNC ✨
The music business is so shady. It needs to be rebuilt. We need to start over. The industry needs an intervention. Like now.
Pretty much all the Elite is corrupt.
Including our government!
capitalism baby! 🤧
I agree and the “Christian/Religious” side in Franklin, TN is no better
Same with the movie industry and child molestation
i absolutely agree. they treat artists like objects and they don't even let them have a normal life.
As I kid I was a fan of both bands and would practice singing their songs in my room, I still listen to both bands to this day and now my kids do too! I had no idea any of this background info, my mind is blown! Thanks for another great video!
i really enjoy when you do these types of videos not beacuse its unimportant to spread awareness of victims of crime stories...but because we are living in such dark trying times and i think we all aprecciate watching something that doesnt make me completely question humanity hahaha. Youre awesome, Kendall! always here to support your hard work. have a great day:)
I watched the documentary Lance made, and my jaw dropped when he said they only got $10,000 checks after all their success. Also, I’m pretty sure Lou did something to Aaron Carter because the way he so vehemently denied anything happening seems weird. He clearly has some psychological issues. It’s sad
As much of a joke Aaron is, that boy went through some traumatic ass things and I can only wonder who has abused me throughout his life. That whole family has a lot going on.
💯💯💯😭😭😭
That's interesting that you said that, because I just left a comment about Aaron too and I used that same word, "vehemently". His reaction was really heartbreaking because it was so clear that he was in pain. I just hope he can get some help to work through whatever trauma he's been through
I actually really love these types of stories. Definitely a good break from crime and equally as shocking.
@@Lostinmyhead23 it makes sense why he always defended michael jackson but not other people in the business , molest victims can sense whos a molester and whos a victim..i think like both of them were victims of molestation
this actually really opened my eyes, like holy shit… I get that he’s a victim of Hollywood himself, but what really makes me mad is that when it’s all said and done, you’d think Justin, after having experienced getting royally fucked over by the industry, would’ve had some grace towards Britney and Janet and would’ve done his best to defend them to prevent them from going down the same path, but nah. He allowed those women to get fucked over the same way he did - Janet was literally blacklisted in the industry and nearly lost her career because he let her take the fall, and then we saw Britney lose damn near everything because he did his best to paint her as the bad guy post-breakup in his music AND thru the media. this really made me look at him differently.
Absolutely! 100%! Every time I hear "Cry Me a River" on the radio, I think; for God's sake, never play that song again - play a Britney song every hour, on the hour, and give that girl some dignity (not to mention $ her family stole). That song should be forever nixed from radio playlists.
@@amberhastings5612 I saw this a few weeks ago on TH-cam and I have to tell someone ha. A few years ago JT hosted SNL, and literally in one of the skits, he f*cking mocks Britney for the same thing. He adds a completely unnecessary comment into the skit (which has LITERALLY NOTHING to do with sex or Britney or anything like that). It was so obviously a written line, which also means so many people saw that before the show and thought it was okay. Disgusting.
100% true.
I thought people knew Justin Timberlake is an asshole
Yeah, never really thought about it, but You're dead set right!
I knew the story--I remember NSYNC going to court and being released from their record label and ended up producing "Bye-Bye-Bye," in result. I also remember that Disney concert---I was a fan of both BSB and NSYNC with zero shame! All my friends loved both as kids and we'd go crazy with the million posters on the walls and listening to their albums for hours etc! I went to the BSB reunion tour in 2019 proudly with my husband.
I also was a huge fan of Innocence too--Britney Spears was in that group initially before going solo and becoming...Britney Spears :)
When you said "when it comes to Backstreet Boys vs NSYNC", I was holding my breath, and immediately felt relief when you said BSB...the rivalery was real y'all and still is haha! Love love love your content btw.
The rivalry is sad imo because of what caused it. I’m pretty sure that the band members get along now that they’re not being pitted against each other by Pearlman, they have done interviews together and worked on movies and projects.
I saw the documentary Lance Bass did about this story, I’m glad you’re covering it!
Do you know where that documentary is??!
@@samantharhodes8946 it’s called The Boy Band Con: The Lou Pearlman Story
@@samantharhodes8946 it’s available on TH-cam
@@samantharhodes8946 it’s on TH-cam premium I think
I saw that too! I really enjoyed it because I had no idea they dealt with any of that!
I like these famous legal cases because it’s still true crime and it’s really informative and interesting. I prefers these kind of videos as it makes me look at things differently. Thanks Kendall for a well researched and interesting case. Love the new set up. The bunny in the background made my day.
I watched this Documentary a while back and was blown away from what I heard. So glad to have you back gorgeous, and hope you had a wonderful time off with Josh, just taking time for one another ❤
I’m a new grad nurse and always have trouble falling asleep before work due to anxiety. I will always put one of your youtube videos on before bed and they always help me fall asleep. Your voice is so soothing and I really get lost in the story you’re telling. I appreciate you and your videos so much! Thank you 💕
I’m also pregnant and I’m so glad to be watching you again as the murder stories where too much for me to handle emotionally! Missed you!
Ultimately I am glad both N*Sync and Backstreet Boys won their law cases, and eventually Lou went to jail. Thank you for this amazingly well researched video Kendall.
this is completely off topic but recently i’ve been rewatching your old videos as i have absolutely nothing else to watch 😂
i just wanna say KENDALL! the EVOLUTION of your video’s !!! the audio, the background, everything! you put your absolute heart and soul into your videos and always have!
you almost have aged backwards… you look so so gorgeous and glowy 😍 i absolute adore watching you grow.
thanks for being my comfort at night
anyways… back to the video 🥳
It's crazy to think that all the while we were admiring them and buying their records and thought how successful they were and how rich they were, they weren't earning anything. 😳
fr. sometimes i say thank u i am not famous , the pressure. the mind games. ect. more money more problems. wake up , work out, eat, work doing something ur good at, come home. the simple things are really nice.
I was working at Burger King when they did the commercial for Burger King (I was probably 16/17 at the time) so it's sad to think I was making more money being the cashier at Burger King than the boy band promoting us.
I really enjoyed this one, and literally had no clue about half this stuff Lou did. It’s insane.
I hope you do more types of these videos in the future! It’s a nice break from true crime/missing persons cases.
I'm so glad this story is getting covered. I have heard bits and pieces over the years, but I am just so relieved BSB, N*sync and the other victims were able to get out of this toxic man's life. I'm really happy to see them all grow & have a better lives 🥰
This was so interesting to watch, grew up in the 90s myself but has no clue this was happening. I'm a BSB girl too! Please do more of these videos sprinkled with the true crime ones. Love you girl! Can't wait for the sesh :D
This is a sad but interesting story. So glad that the boys were able to get their life back.
It's messed up that Lou messed with a few of them sexually too.
Not all of them Aaron Carter still floating out in the sea mentally
I was a big boy band/pop music lover and was obsessed with NSYNC. I remember hearing inklings and rumors about Lou for yearsssss and watched all sorts of docs and interviews about him. When I saw you released a new video about this today, omg I never clicked so fast! Lol I haven't hit the 2 minute mark yet but I'm already ready.
So we’re not gonna talk about how this man is literally the human version Bubba Bass from SpongeBob? The one that hides pickles under his tongue? THE RESEMBLANCE IS UNCANNY
The relief I felt when you said you prefer BSB 😌
Thank you for putting in so much work and effort and time for us to enjoy. I'm sure it isn't easy, but know we all love you so much. ❤
Love the new space and the fireplace!! Sooo excited to see the new podcast studios!! I hope you had an amazing and relaxing vacation! You deserve it and should do it WHENEVER you need it! Especially because you work so hard!!! You're such an amazing woman!
We love you so much Kendall and always put out good energy for you! Love this video!!!
Your scam stories are SO interesting and I love them!! You always do them (and every video) so well!
So happy to have you back, and it's very refreshing to see a story that's not involving a murder. Thank you
i love when you do cases like these, Kendall. still super interesting but not so depressing/traumatizing as murder cases. keep doing these pls!
It's nice to hear you saying you're feeling way better, and this case I wanted so bad you to take it, and knowing that you are a BSB fan YES! Thanks a lot, I so much love the way you talk and develop the cases, even the hardest ones are much easier to hear with you.
Love the new filming space! You look amazing and refreshed. I remember when they first started talking about what they went through with Lou! He is completely awful and stole millions from them.
Thank you!
@@KendallRae BYE BYE BYE! BYE BYE! I love NSYNC and The Backstreet Boys! Great Boy Bands! Popular as ever! Awesome much Kendall?
Backstreet Boys will always hold a special place in my heart because they were the first boy band that I ever fell in love with.
This was a super interesting story! I was delighted to get my notification that you had a new video up. You’ve got a great ability with storytelling and your voice is so easy to listen to.
So glad you're back, hope you had a nice rest, loved the story and actually learnt a lot I didn't know, I had posters of both bands all over my walls as a teenager 😂 on another note I am obsessing about your background!!!!
Also, recently a few members from Nsync and Backstreet Boys have been in each other's tiktoks and doing little performances together ☺️ it's nice to see them together and playing around and singing each other's songs together
I am OBSESSED with the Backstreet Boys to this day & LOVE watching your videos so this was a particular treat for me to listen to as I catch up on paperwork at my office!!! Thank you!!!
I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this before, especially with the scope of the fraud here. Thank you so much for putting out great videos week after week! I’m always exited when I get a notification when you post a new video. And I’m glad you took a break and are feeling refreshed ❤️
You should definitely watch the TH-cam originals documentary on it. It’s even harder to hear lance bass give his first hand account! It’s so crazy.
Me too. I never knew any of this and I loved them
Right. I am shocked at the fact that they were owned by the same man and were used against each other
So happy to see you back! I grew up in this era too and I am in shock, I never knew that the boy bands were put together by the same man nor that they went through all of this. It’s awful to see talented people be exploited, at the end of the day it’s abuse but it’s something that needs to be talked about. Others need to learn from the past and protect themselves. Thank you for your hard work!!!
Wow! This was such an interesting video! I had no idea about this whole story behind the fame of BSB and NSYNC with Lou Pearlman! I am also a big BSB fan too myself 😉 but I enjoyed watching this. I always enjoy watching your videos Kendall. Glad you’re back, and looking forward to seeing more of your new content coming up. Hope you have a great new year 2022 😊
Even from the photos you showed, Lou appears creepy. I felt creeped out even just by looking at the photos. So I really wasn’t surprised when you mentioned his inappropriate behaviour.
Also, I was born in 2000 but I was always a BSB fan. My mum loved them and listened to them even though she was an older fan, so I know a lot of their songs off by heart from listening to them during car journeys! Such good memories 🥰
Omg!!! Huge fan of BSB...yes any die hard fan will know this story!! So glad to see you are also a fan!!! Loved the way you told us the story! ❤
Kendall,
I’m loving this kind of content you have been putting out lately. Chippendales now the boy band con? LOVE IT! Keep it coming!
The bands are fairly friendly now, Joey even had a part in a movie that Nick Carter wrote and starred in "Dead 7". Nick, Joey, Howie and AJ came to my local con and touched very lightly on their past and were teasing each other about stuff. I think the panel is available on youtube somewhere
Oh my god that’s an asylum movie! 😂
@@astrowolvez Yup. Weird movie but was interesting to hear them talk about it
Chris, Joey, AJ and Nick hang out a lot. They're friendly all the time on Instagram and they even did some shows together last year with a member of Boyz II Men.
Why did I read Fairy 🧚♂️ friendly I was like what does that mean lol then I reread it
I had front row tickets to the No Strings Attached concert. I knew when that album came out it was about Lou. I had to support that album! Plus Pink was the opener. I remember the division between the 2 bands. I loved them both and wouldn't take crap from people who tried to make me choose. "I'm allowed to like whoever I want!" My 90s mantra. 🤣
Oh, I love this genre of crime video. It's so interesting and you always delve into your topics in such an engaging way. I'd totally love to see more videos like this!
Kendall's voice is so soothing, thank you for the quality content, wishing you, Josh and your furry babies a happy new year!!
This set up is EVERYTHING. It really showcases your style 🥰
Agreed! This background is really working for her
I'm so glad Lou was held accountable in the end, though thinking about the creepy things he did to the bad members will always make me feel so icky. Tho the fact that Bye Bye Bye is about him makes me love it even more lmao
Anyways so happy to see you back!! I'm glad you're recharged and I can't wait to see what this year brings!
Glad your back and refreshed, It could be seen in your Aura!!!...Many Blessings!!!..Now let's get a move on Nena!!!..Can't wait for your next ones!!!..P.S now I know, the album and this story is in my head with a big *WOWWWW!!!*.."THAT DIRTY SNAKE!!!..Love the manimals too!!!..Again Many Blessings!!!
I knew I loved Kendall for a variety of reasons but when she said she was more of a Backstreet Boys fan than an *NSYNC fan I loved her even more. 😂💛
Kendall this was so good! I was so happy to see your face. Chris Stokes is definitely the black version of this guy Lou. Chris Stokes discovered B2K, Immature/IMX and Jhene Aiko! That would be an interesting story as well.
Loved this story! It just highlights what’s going on in the music industry still to this day…artists are still being screwed by their record deals and taken advantage of by the industry. Only thing that’s changed is the music industry is a lot more savvy and educated on how to actually get away with this. It’s why artist are fighting for their masters and going independent now.
Growing up, I was amazed to learn that it was BSB vs N*Sync in the US, because here in Sweden, BSB more or less reigned supreme. The only other boyband that came even remotely close was Westlife.
Thanks for sharing this! I had no clue it’s actually sad he took an advantage of these young men because they were working so hard and weren’t seeing anything
Thank you Kendall for your time & effort put into researching these stories. We appreciate you! I have heard of these bands but did not know the story behind it. Thank you very much.
I love the combination of stories you share. I absolutely love the true crime murder stories and the fraud is a nice break in between. Especially this one since I am a late 80s/early 90s kid so I was a huge 90s boy band fan. Thank you for sharing
Hope you had a great break Kendall!! Excited to watch. You're always making the day so much better. Much love. 💚 love the new setup!! I'm a 90s baby too so cant wait to watch this.
Those Disney concerts were EVERYTHING back in the 90’s 😩
I showed my mum this video and it’s the first TH-cam video that she’s seen that isn’t a how to or a cute/funny animal video and she loved it. She said she loved how you told this story and she learnt so much about the bands that were popular back then. Thankyou ❤️
I've ALWAYS loved The Backstreet Boys, I knew all the songs, had all the posters, CDs! I still listen to them when I run errands lol my daughter is 11 and she knows most if not all the songs now too 😅
This was very interesting! It reminds me of the TLC story. It’s so sad that our 90’s favorites were often robbed of their hard earned money
I’m so happy I found you at the end of last year and I’m so excited to start a new year with your amazing content!! 🤩🥳
I have ADHD and sometimes it’s hard to focus when it comes to true crime stories etc. but the way you tell the story like we’re going on a journey together makes it hard to unfocus 😅 I love your video’s so much and I love getting to know you and all your animals! And also; thank you! ❤️❤️🥰
I loved NSYNC and Backstreet Boys! I still do. I knew that everyone has always said "Pick which is better: BSB or NSYNC". I could never choose one over the other. I thought it was all just for the Press, media, Hollywood, etc. I never knew about this story. I also wouldn't have guessed that the No Strings Attached album was about this. After hearing the story, it makes alot of sense. I had also always wondered how the bands formed and why they were so similar. Now I know. Thank you for sharing this story, Kendall. I'm glad to see you are back.
I was obsessed with the Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears as a kid and I knew about most of this that was available knowledge at the time, so many artists have “breakup” songs that weren’t even about romantic relationships but about cutting ties in their professional lives at that time and even recently.

Love listening to lighter stories!! You're a great storyteller. Please do more like this!!
Yes girl, I was team backstreet all the way. Then when I was 16 we drove to Florida and I took a Nsync album and fell in love with them and realized that I could like both. Great video. ❤️
Love the new background!! It feels really warm & cozy especially w/the fur-babies running around 🙂 Can't wait to see all the new backgrounds/studio for all of y'alls channels!
Kendall is so respectful when telling these stories. I love her videos ❤️
I can definitely tell you were a BSB fan by the way you said *NSYNC last names. Anywho, it is wild that still today this rivalry among fans (who are good and grown now) lives on. Also, those of us who were older teens and fans knew about Lou and all the shits.
I loved both boy bands, but I was an *NSYNC girl at heart. Once I heard the allegations that he manipulated and abused those boys, it broke my heart bc they were just young kids.
Lou was the Dan Schneider of boy bands with that inappropriate touching..
Absolutely obsessed with your new background!! We Missed you so much Kendall 💓
I was OBSESSED with Nsync. I watched their Disney channel concert dozens of times and my first ever CD was their first album. I squealed when I unwrapped it on Christmas morning, I didn't even have a CD player but I was so excited. My mom gave me my first CD player later that day. Gotta love divorced parents lol.
My best friend was a BSB fan and we argued about it a lot but we remained friends. I still liked BSB just not nearly as much as Nsync. I still listen to both groups sometimes, I have a playlist called nostalgia that is full of late 90s and early 00s pop music.
Thanks for always putting content out for us despite going through personal struggles. You’re one of my favorite TH-camrs so thanks for always delivering quality content!
Lets take a moment to appreciate those adorable rabbits too! I just love her animals especially the cats and rabbits, thanks for sharing them with us Kendall :)
1991 baby here! Never knew about this and it blew my mind because I do look back and we really could only like one not both. Thanks for sharing this story!
