Backstreet Boys, I can still remember when they first came into the scene I was completely ecstatic. Since the rise and fall of boy bands, the original band members are still working on a new album minus one member, Kevin Richardson. BSB are currently on tour with the New Kids on the Block. Nick Carter began his solo career and acting career, Brian Littrell is also a solo artist emphasizing on Christian Music. A.J. McLean began his solo career and acting career. Howie Dorough became a singer/song writer. And Kevin Richardson became an actor.
One of the most successful boy bands in the world is still in the lime light, individually that is. Since their split in 2002 Justin Timberlake became a solo artist and created his own clothing line. Joey Fatone became an actor. Lance Bass became a certified NASA astronaut, is openly Gay, and an actor. JC Chasez became a solo artist, song writer, and reality show judge. And finally Chris Kirkpatrick created his own clothing line as well.
98 Degrees, I wasn't really into them except for having a crush on Nick Lacey. Who after the group split in 2002, became a reality t.v. star with his show "The Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica ". Drew Lacey became a father and appeared on dancing with the stars. Justin Jeffre ran for Mayoral office in Ohio. And Jeff Timmons became a solo artist.
Since their debut on MTV's Making the Band, the group struggled to gain the respect of critics for their music. Following suite after N'SYNC, Backstreet Boys, Westlife, 98 Degrees, etc. the group only released one album. Since 2003 when the group split, Ashley Angel starred in his own MTV reality show, worked on broadway and continues to work on solo projects as well. Jacob Underwood, is a solo artist living in Nashville. Erik Estrada became an actor. And Dan Miller is now producing his own music.
Really only remembered for this one song, LFO split in 2002 as well, which seemed to be a trend in 2002. Rich Cronin, the lead singer, died on September 8, 2010 at the age of 36. Brad Frischetti has since then not been heard of. And Devin Lima formed another group and released an album.
And finally my all time favorite, New Kids on the Block. After their split in 1994 the band has since then reformed and is currently on tour with fellow boy band Backstreet Boys. Jonathon Knight lives life as an openly Gay man, and went into real estate. Jordan Knight became a solo artist working on his 3rd album. Joey McIntyre also became a solo artist releasing his 5th album, and working on acting projects as well. Danny Wood started his own record label and is also a private jet sales executive. Donnie Wahlberg became an accredited actor.
