单曲“Incomplete”选择BSB Backstreet Boys Say Comeback Single 'Incomplete' Chose Them Lesson #1 in staging a successful comeback: Don't bother choosing the music; let the music choose you. As the Backstreet Boys were busy sifting through dozens of tracks to determine the first single off their forthcoming release, Never Gone, little did they know that the choice had already been made for them. "We were narrowing it down to about two or three songs collectively as a group, and we were talking amongst ourselves about it with our management, and the next thing you know, we're getting news that 'Incomplete' is on the radio and on the Internet," AJ McLean said. Before the mid-tempo power ballad was leaked, the Boys were also considering the fan tribute "I Still" and "Weird World," written by Five for Fighting's John Ondrasik, as their comeback single (see "Backstreet Boys Promise New Single 'Is Going To Shock You' "). But, " 'Incomplete' got such a great response from all the program directors and such a great response from the fans that we told them to just go for it," eldest member Kevin Richardson said. Turns out the Boys made the right move. Since the song officially hit radio on March 18, it has soared to #2 on the iTunes Top 100 and stands at #13 on the Billboard Hot 100. "[The song] has done really well, and we've been very fortunate," McLean added. "We are very, very blessed." The Boys are still in the throes of deciding what their follow-up single will be, although youngest member Nick Carter says they're looking at something mid-to-up-tempo to heat up the radio dials this summer. "We've got about three songs in contention, and we're gonna vote on it. [There's a] democratic process between us and the record company to figure out which one's the best," Richardson said. The Backstreet Boys have been busy touring the country to promote Never Gone, which drops June 14. Earlier this year, the quintet embarked on an intimate club tour, mainly in the eastern states, to showcase the new material (see "Backstreet Boys Anxious To Tour, Kick Off Club Run In March"). "[For the first time in awhile], we all got back on one bus," Howie Dorough said. "Nick annoyed the heck out of me, but it was good." "It was great to be onstage again," Richardson said. "We [wanted to do] a small venue tour so we could reconnect with our fans and have an intimate, unplugged-type vibe at the shows, and we had a blast." If you missed the Boys' first outing, don't fret ? tour dates for a larger arena trek this summer are expected to be announced next week, according to their publicist. ———————————————————————————————————— 翻译： BSB表示是他们复出单曲“Incomplete”选择他们 要成功复出的秘诀：不用让你去选择音乐，而是让音乐选择你。 当BSB忙碌选择他们即将推出的大碟“NEVER GONE”的主打歌曲时,他们却不知道选择已经被作出了。 “我们把范围缩少到二三首歌，我们相互之间不断讨论但是我们随后才知道’Incomplete’已经在电台和互联网上公开了。”AJ Mclean 说道。 当这首中拍的民谣被泄漏出去，乐队的成员还在考虑把“I STILL”和“WEIRED WORLD”作为他们复出的单曲。 但是，“‘INCOMPLETE’在各方面都得到了很大反响，特别是歌迷。我们也就对他们说那就继续喜欢它吧。”年纪最大的Kebvin Richardson 说。 结果说明BSB作出了正确的选择。自从这首歌在三月十八后正式推出后，它在I iTunes Top 100流行榜上冲到了第二名并且在Billboard Hot 100里占据第十三位。 “这首歌制作得很好，我们真的很幸运，”Mclean 说，“我们得到上帝的祝福。” 乐队还处在应该推出哪一首单曲的痛苦当中，尽管最年轻的成员说他们正在寻找一首可以在夏天掀起旋风的中快拍子的歌曲。 “现在有三首歌候选，我们将投票选出一首。我们和唱片公司在选择哪首歌最好时是很民主的。”Richardson说。 BSB为了六月十四号推出的“NEVER GONE”而到处忙碌宣称。今年年初，乐队在一些东部的私人俱乐部巡回演出，去展示一些新的元素。 “我们重新回到一起，”Howie Dorough说，“Nick 烦恼被我驱赶走了，但这是件好事。” “可以再次上台表演太好了，”Richardson 表示,“本来我们想在比较集中的地区表演，这样就可以再次联系我们的歌迷，并且来个亲密的没有障碍的接触。” 如果你们想看BSB的第一场表演，不要着急。根据官方报道，这个夏天在更大地区范围的演出的细节将在下星期公布。 |
