Did the Backstreet Boys Make a Comeback at the AMAs?

Backstreet's back, alright! Although, technically they were never gone.

One of the most iconic boy bands of the '90s made an appearance at Sunday night's American Music Awards to try to convince pop fans that The Backstreet Boys still have it. But with Justin Bieber sweeping the competition, it's tough to say whether they struck a chord with the audience.

Viewers in their early 20s will no doubt recall the Backstreet Boys with equal parts nostalgia and horror, now that enough time has gone by for that generation to reflect on its boy band craze.

Someday, Bieber fans will relate.

New Kids on the Block, the 1984 boy band precursor, also made an appearance at the awards ceremony, bringing together three generations of starry-eyed male pop singers.

The two groups performed a combination of the New Kids' "Hangin' Tough" and Backstreet's "Everybody." Backstreet also performed "I Want It That Way" and "Larger Than Life."

Are the Backstreet Boys just trying to relive their glory days, or are they still a force to be reckoned with in the pop industry?

    obviously some people here have no idea what they are talking about. BSB had always had sold out tours. They don't need a comeback. They were never gone! They have world tours after world tours, SOLD OUT.

    I don't know if they are...but if they are, I can't fathom why.

    I haven't heard anything about them in years and I really don't care now. Isn't the boy band era over by now? Hasn't music moved on to the less enjoyable Bieber types?

    I guess what goes around comes around. I would be entertained if, in this "comeback," they were able to knock Bieber right out of the music scene. Now THAT would be a comeback to remember.

    Bon Jovi is still around.Kiss is still around.Why can't Backstreet Boys stick around? They're still a group no matter what decade they're from. DECADES DON'T MATTER and it doesn't matter if they aren't boys anymore they are STILL AMAZING! And who cares if they are still called Boys or Kids...why should they change they're name? They will always be better then those horrible Jonas Brothers.& FYI Backstreet never left!

    They never tried to make a comeback.. They've always been strong, and they recorded a new CD every 2 years, with numerous tourdates in big arenas.

    They have to be gone to come back. A come back is when a band/musician goes off the scene and out of nowhere comes back. That was BSB the last time they came back. Now it's just old hat. Apparently young girls don't want boy bands they want little girls with names like "Justin Bieber". Bubble gum pop boy bands are over, they only get one come back then it's just bleh.
