Backstreet talks about 'N Sync

Rumours of a feud between the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync have been flying ever since the two groups took the spotlight, but the Backstreet members have finally taken some time to talk about it.

Since both bands were created by Louis J. Pearlman and both also went through legal trouble with the pop music heavyweight, it's not hard to understand why some similarities show up between 'N Sync and Backstreet Boys.

But the members of Backstreet are frustrated that some of their signature moves keep getting copied by 'N Sync, MTV reports.

"It's more frustrating on the creative side, like, who you choose to write music with, who you choose to work with and produce your record, who you choose to direct your videos," Kevin Richardson told MTV. "I mean, it's like, find your own identity."

One similarity between the two groups that annoys the Backstreet Boys is the flying technique during BSB concerts, which 'N Sync also uses.

"We remember, at the Billboard Awards in Vegas, that time when Garth (Brooks) flew out and we turned and we said, 'We Want to do that,' and then somebody else is doing it," Brian Littrell told MTV.
