My favorite boyband songs

One of the highlights of karaoke for me was singing some old school Backstreet Boys (they're old school now, right?). The video for "I Want It That Way" has over 20 million views on YouTube.

(As an aside, I'm pretty partial to this version though. The guy in the background kills me.)




Now on to some boybands from across the pond.

This is one of my all time favorites. I have no idea when I first heard it, but it's been a mainstay of mine for a very, very long time. Bonus points that it's by Take That, who brought us one of the greatest boyband songs EVER (see above). On the other hand, this is probably one of Marek's least favorite songs, given my propensity to listen to it on repeat for hours along (while singing along). Whenever it comes on, he mockingly starts singing "patieeeeeeeeence" to me.




And of course we can't forget Take That's most popular US song, which had us all slow dancing back in 7th grade.




I think most people have heard or heard of Boyzone. I love this song. It gets a little long towards the end, but it's another repeat offender on my playlist. I can't deny what I believe, I can't be what I'm not...




How about Westlife? I discovered them on a trip to Aruba a few years ago. This song was playing at the hotel bar, and I actually asked the bartender (who was my BFF by this point, since we went to the bar twice a day) if he could look on the CD who this was.




And here's a bonus video from Take That. Interestingly enough, when I watch the video, all I can think about is whether or not Gary Barlow is actually playing that piano.
