If you look at the boy bands today, they're more vocal-based or they're musicians. That's the boybands of 2017 and on. We've always been showmen. I think that combination of being able to sing live, not lip-syncing, and dance at the same time, that's a huge upswing for us."Backstreet Boys DNA 2022 tour datesNick Carter@nickcarterAre you ready?!?
