Backstreet’s back? Alright. (Fine.)
James Corden is bringing boy bands back — one cute one, one funny one, one nice one, one “other” one, and one maverick at a time. The CBS “Late Late Show” host misses the old days of *NSYNC, O-Town, 98 Degrees — heck, maybe even you, LFO. (Not so fast, 5ive.)
“I want matching outfits, synchronized dancing and WAY over-budget music videos,” Corden explained last night.
So he swung for the fences on Tuesday, welcoming the top-selling boy band of all time to his set. The Backstreet Boys blew away the studio audience with “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back).” The crowd only got more into it when Corden grabbed a mic for verse No. 2. He, of course, picked the “Am I sexual?” line. The answer was, of course, “Yeah.”
The fellas didn’t miss a beat with the new guy added to all that choreography. Watch the video above — good stuff for anyone of a certain age. Speaking of which, TheWrap just wants to point out that these “boys” now range in age from 36 years old (Nick) to 44 (Kevin).
The Backstreet Boys’ “Larger Than Life” tour will take up residency at The AXIS Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas in March — tickets go on sale Saturday, October 1.
