Straight Through My Heart.

The Backstreet Boys say, "This Is Us." The new album will be in stores October 6, 2009. Before I get to the main point of this post, I just have to say that I will forever be a loyal fan of the BSB. Their music has been a large part of my life for the past decade (what other music group could say that? Okay, besides NSYNC and the Beach Boys), and I truly do still love their music. No matter what they do, I am still a fan.

But their new music video and album title are trying my patience and fanhood. I have to say that while I am excited about the album, I am disappointed in their unoriginality and conformity to the masses. Let me illustrate.

1. This is it. This is us. I cannot have any Michael copying around here. I'm serious about this. But if that wasn't enough...
2. The music video for "Straight Through My Heart" has VAMPIRES IN IT. I hate all the vampire stuff. I'm sick of it, it's gross, it's tacky, it's cheesy, it's NOT attractive, it is NOT cool, and I'm mad about this. I expected more of my Backstreet Boys who supposedly turned into men.

But for now, here is the first single, in music video form. The song, I like. The dancing in the video, I like. The concept of the video, I loathe. Now, enjoy.



That music video sent a pain straight through my heart. In a bad way.
