MTV sucks. If anybody cares this is from Brian's wife Leighanne on the http://www.littrellfans.net/ site:

Also, a little FYI for you to do with what you would like. At present time MTV states they do not want to play BSB's music because they do not want pop music to make a comeback. Their quote is that they don't want to open Pandora's Box. Anything the fans could do to support the boys and not to give MTV the power to decide that what the world should and should not hear. This is the second time MTV has tried to hold down the BSB from becoming the best that they can be. If there is anything you can do to help, it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm boycotting mtv & trl.

We already knew that, but that pretty much confirms it. They only want to play emo crap and terrible rap music.

I quit watching MTV like a year and a half ago and haven't ever looked back.

Music video channels hold down a lot of musicians. And since VH1 and MTV are basically in cahoots now, there is no good music video channel.

It's a sad state.

I agree with B, I hate this mainstream lockdown business.
MTV's got the trigger to pull at any of these artists. It is so sad that they have this power. I don't watch them either.
On Backstreet Note, my Girlfriend made me go to the Orlando show last month and I gotta say they weren't too bad. Damn there was alot of screaming ladies....and surprising OLDER ladies lol

Whoa it's Danny! Long time no see

Glad you thought it wasn't too bad. How did you like the whole snow falling during Siberia? I can't wait for that song. And yes you can always expect screaming ladies, haha.

I'm seeing them & also going to their soundcheck on Thursday so I'm excited. I'll see if someone will ask the guys how they feel about the whole mtv thing.

On Sept. 15th Backstreet fans are planning to protest outside of the TRL studio since MTV is refusing to play Backstreet's new video & a fan recently told them about it at a soundcheck & some of them knew like Brian cuz his wife got emails about it & they said their gonna try to watch but can't be there cuz their gonna be in Rome. AJ said he heard about it to, online. Man, how many artists actually care about stuff like that? Not many.

So yeah, tune in if you guys wanna see somebody finally protest TRL/MTV, haha.

Making number 1 in Australia (and im sure so many other countries) would put their spirits up.
They are making MUSIC, they sing beautifully, write their own songs and are lovely guys.
Even MTV Australia can be jerks, they play what they think sells (eg RnB) but hopefully MTV plays their video.
Otherwise it might come down to 'why make videos if no one is bloody going to play them'.

Doubt anyone here saw it, but a girl who I met in the BSB fanclub that is giving me a ride to the jimmy kimmel taping that BSB are performing on, was the girl they showed on the Today show with the BSB sign! They showed her a lot too & she came all the way from Cali.

That is dedication man. Can't wait for the TRL protest now. That's a good start.

Laura · « **Reply #42 on:** September 15, 2005, 03:20:49 pm »

Apparently that wasn't a good start cuz BSB fans got kicked out of the TRL studio. They were just wearing their BSB shirts & they didn't even have signs or anything, only outside & since MTV heard about the protest, they kicked the fans out! They wouldn't even show outside the window even when there was a guest on. And the reason they kicked them out was cuz.. & I quote: "They said that they didnt trust the BSB fans..thought they were gonna do something stupid."

BUT someone from the CBS early show invited them to come & talk about what happened tomorrow. Watch it at 7am if you could.

Mtv is so going down. You all should be proud.. especially since they wouldn't play VC either, this is gonna show them.

MTV sucks. Why do you guys care about it, anyway?

Laura · « **Reply #44 on:** September 15, 2005, 09:54:09 pm »

Yes we all know mtv sucks, lol today just prooved it even more. We care because we've been voting like crazy for their video & no matter how many votes we get they still aren't going to play it & we think it's wrong even if mtv does suck.

One of the security guys even threatened a fan today. One girl said a security guy said she would be spending the night at the precinct if she didn't leave. So now we're even more upset at them & so I guess the Early show agrees with us & is letting the fans finally talk about it.

Oh yeah & here is a pic. from it... a lot of fans showed up, & Brian Littrell even called one of them (long story).
