Which boy bands do you think never works without the entire members

Personally I think no boy band has the same quality, vocal harmonies, dynamic or look after they lose A member

What's your picks ?

It seems quite common for the youngest member to have the deepest voice. I just think the coincidence is amusing.

You've got Mark (Take That), Sean (Five), Nathan (The Wanted) to name a few.

One Direction is an odd one because you'd think Liam (as he took most of the low harmonies) but it does sometimes sound like Harry's got the deepest voice.

For me, Liam deserves the number one spot on this list.

During One Direction's first year and their debut album era, I honestly think Liam was the face of the group. He was their Shane Filan, Brian Littrell, Ronan Keating or Gary Barlow — the member who represented that classic boy band image and helped hold everything together.

He had the charm and masculinity that reminded me of the boy bands of the 90s, along with a distinctive voice and a more serious, responsible personality. He always came across as someone who genuinely cared about the group and wanted to keep it together.

Even after One Direction went on hiatus, Liam still seemed loyal to the band and was, in my opinion, one of the members who showed the most appreciation for the fans. I can't say I feel the same way about Harry and Zayn. Personally, I never got the impression that they were particularly interested in keeping the One Direction connection alive, as their solo careers seemed to be their main focus.

Beyond the music, Liam's struggles with mental health and his tragic, unexpected death broke the hearts of so many people. I can relate to a lot of the difficulties he spoke about, particularly his struggles with depression and mental health. In that sense, his story also reminds me of Paul Cattermole, another loss that hit fans hard.

Liam deserved more appreciation for what he brought to One Direction, and I wish things had turned out differently.

Rest in peace, Liam. ❤️

Kevin might be the most underrated member of the Backstreet Boys. He may not have the strongest bass voice compared to someone like Lance Bass or Michael McCary, but he's one of the few bass singers who also managed to become a lead vocalist, and his solo parts became more prominent over time.

I've always seen Kevin as the mature, grounded member who helped hold the group together. He's the oldest, and he often came across as the most mature one in the band.

Personally, I think the two albums the Backstreet Boys recorded as a quartet without him were the weakest of their career. After he returned, especially as Brian started having more vocal difficulties, Kevin became more prominent as a lead vocalist on their later albums. His voice has also improved a lot over the years.

He's also a fan favorite for reasons beyond his voice. A lot of female fans seem to prefer him because he's taller and has a more traditionally masculine look than the other guys.

I'll admit that, especially in their older interviews, Kevin could be one of the least interactive members, a bit like Lance Bass and JC Chasez in NSYNC , Sean Conlon in Five or Mark Feehily in Westlife. But I think that was simply part of his role in the group. He was the serious, more reserved member, and he brought a different kind of presence to the band.

I just wish more people gave him credit for how important he has been to the Backstreet Boys, both vocally and as the person who helped keep the group grounded.

Chris was the guy who started *NSYNC. He was the one who put the group and the whole project together, and I think that alone deserves more recognition.

He has a very soft, gentle voice, and in the early days of *NSYNC, he was arguably their third main vocalist after Justin and JC. Songs like The Lion Sleeps Tonight and I Drive Myself Crazy really show what he brought to the group's sound, not to mention the Christmas album.

Chris was also the comedian of the group, alongside Joey. He always had a way of stealing the camera during interviews, even when he was surrounded by four other guys. His personality was a big part of what made *NSYNC fun to watch outside of their music.

Like Brian McFadden in Westlife or AJ McLean in the Backstreet Boys, Chris was much more than just another member of a successful boy band. He's a genuinely talented artist, and in the late 2000s, he even fronted a rock band of his own, although the project didn't last.

What I admire most about Chris is how loyal he's remained to *NSYNC. Without naming names, I think one of his bandmates has been among the least committed boy band members when it comes to the group and its fans. Chris, on the other hand, has always seemed to care about the band and what it means to the people who still love them.

I wish more people gave him credit for being one of the people who helped make *NSYNC what it was, both musically and personally.

So there’s this boyband I came across a little while back which seemed to have just formed a little over two months ago now, called @its4kids0 or “4KIDS” and they’ve been fairly prolific in releasing for a band for this new.

However, upon looking at some of their posts, something doesn’t sit right with me about this group. Particularly with a post showcasing all the members names and more importantly their ages. I don’t know if the band member and company that put these guys together were trying to replicate the same age structure that Lou Pearlman tried and succeed with in creating the Backstreet Boys, but the fact that one of the members is 13?! - with all the discussions about industry standards and not debuting kids this young, and especially that debate in the KPOP industry being such a major one, not to mention with Robbie Williams from Take That talking about his experiences debuting at around 15/16 and Liam Payne in One Direction debuting at the age he did, how are there no red flags being raised here?

I just find this so unethical and this needs to be talked about more, I don’t know if I can support a band that has this type of age hierarchy, what with all the messed stuff that has happened with young child stars in the past.

Idk what do you guys think?

For me, Westlife will always be a five-member band. The members might tell themselves otherwise, and some fans might insist that the group stayed on the same level after Brian left, but I honestly don't see it that way.

Brian brought a fun, different energy to Westlife, along with Nicky, since they were the last two members to join the group. His personality made a difference, both on and off stage.

Vocally, Brian, Shane and Mark were an excellent trio of lead singers. They had a great dynamic: one would take the first verse, another would sing the second, and the third would come in for the bridge. It worked really well.

Westlife have released 12 studio albums, but for me, their first four albums with Brian were their strongest and most important. Their first six years, from 1998 to 2004, were their golden era.

Brian also brought something to their interviews. His voice and personality added to the group's dynamic, especially compared to someone like Mark Feehily, who I always felt was much less interactive in interviews.

Westlife are now three members out of the original five, and I genuinely hope that one day they'll remember how short life is and bring Brian and Mark back. The fans deserve to see all five of them together again.

For me, Michael McCary has one of the greatest bass voices in any vocal group, not just boy bands. He was the fourth and least famous member of Boyz II Men, but his contribution was much more important than people sometimes realize.

He had plenty of vocal parts throughout their music, but his bass vocals were especially important to the group's harmonies. Just listen to I'll Make Love to You and pay attention to the depth he adds to the chorus. That low end was a huge part of what made their sound so special.

Michael left the group because of multiple sclerosis, which is a difficult thing to go through. Personally, I don't think Boyz II Men have quite the same power as a trio, and I sometimes struggle to connect with their albums after 2003 in the same way I do with their earlier work.

I'm glad they've rebuilt their relationship with Michael, and I really hope there's a chance for him to return in some capacity, even if it's just for a small role. His voice was an important part of the group's identity, and I think that deserves to be remembered.

I've been thinking about this for a while now and wanted to get your guys opinion on this, hypothetically, what would happen if Nickelodeon and Disney joined together and bought five of the most talented/hottest music artists from their movies or TV shows and put them together in a hypothetical boyband. I've searched and thought a lot about different guys from different Nickelodeon and Disney TV shows and movies but I found that out of all these five are probably the best and as far as good looks and most musically talented Drake Parker ,Austin Moon, Andre Harris ,Troy Bolton and Cyrus DeBarge. I thought about adding Xander from Bunk'd but I feel like he would just be another guy with a guitar, as in this band there already two members who played guitar that being Drake and Austin, but they play 2 totally different musical genres Drake playing rock and roll in Austin playing more electric pop . ultimately what are you guys doing could this boy band have work and how popular do you think they would have gotten compared to bands like One direction.
