poll Better Debut Ballad: Backstreet Boys vs NSYNC vs 98°

[jdmc219]

 

Which late 90s blue-eyed Boyz II Men knockoff group touched your heart more with their debut hit ballad in the teen pop explosion?

 

Hot 100: #2

 

Hot 100: #8

 

 

Hot 100: #12

I had never heard the 98° one until today. 

 

I'm gonna go with BSB. I still hear this song regularly and never hear the others. Also this song and "As Long as You Love Me" made me feel something that I didn't understand back in the day.

Quit Playing Games With My Heart is a classic

[Buffy]

Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely and Shape of My Heart exists but you chose these songs? 
 

This I Promise You exists too.

 

I miss this whole music era. You know, back when men actually sang real music and sang with heart and soul. Same with the female artists.

But I fear O-Town’s All or Nothing washes them all (even tho they’re 00s)

You could’ve chosen better eras then

Boyz ll Men, their influence

 

Good Must Have Spent is the best song of these 3

"Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)," which is truly a classic. And they still sound amazing singing it.

I still don't get why they gave a Nick a part on the re-recorded version. Brian carried that song on both the verses.

Nick was the most popular so he got shoehorned

[jdanton2]

Invisible Man  is my favorite of the three songs.

[jdmc219]

Maybe 98 Degrees needs more color appeal. 😆

Yeah, Brian was always the better vocalist between the two. But it still sounds ultimately as good, in my opinion.

You mean New Edition, their influence. Both Boyz II Men and New Kids on the Block were modeled after New Edition.
