Backstreet boys "shape of my heart".



Seems that over the years, I have been slowly and casually collecting their stuff. As far as I can see, if you want good pop circa late 90's, these guys are hard to beat.

Great song off their surprisenly consistant album (for a boyband) "Black and blue". Looking back now, after the dust has settled, Max Martin sure did contribute bigtime to some great pop songs.

Not an obvious BSB song to write about, but I love it.

i cant stand boy bands but it is a nice song. this song came out a few yeas before Radio turned to complete crap. And its becuz of that,that I dont listen to radio anymore.a lot of the so called singers make me sick and i do not see any talent in Lil Wayne,hannah montana,or the Jonas Brothers. But i will be watching the vma's to see the MJ TRIBUTE. and has anyone ever noticed that most of britney spears songs sound very similar? toxic, circus,etc.

I love all the harmonies on the chorus. I love how the verses build up to the chorus aswell. Its also very well produced, with a great change up after the middle 8.

I've always loved them despite only owning the Black and Blue album. They always reminded me of the white Boyz II Men though...

My sister actually gave me this cd 4 free and i went a few years without listening 2 it. Then i put it in oneday and it was full of techno and weak songs,no funk ! no guitar! ... or was it a N sync cd? idk Anyways i threw it out. I did c nick carter on Tmz one time and he was bobbin his head to the new cd so i guess they made a comeback?

No. This song is affirmation that radio was crap at that time. I stopped listening to radio in about 1992. sad

I like the vocals on the song. Infact, despite myself liking parts of their first 2 albums, Boys2men showboat too much with their vocals sometimes. I dont like that way of singing, particually over pop songs.

Whilst I still cant tell who sings what on "shape of my heart", I can pick out Nick Carter singing the middle 8. What surprises me most about this is that for once he actually sounded quite good for once! No offence Nick LOL.

As boyband albums goes, "black in blue" isn't half bad. "Get another boyfriend" sounds EXACTLY like "the call", but I prefer it despite it being an album track. The Babyface produced "Time" and a few others are great aswell. I also love the ultra sappy "what makes you different". Nice tune.

"What makes you different"

Or completely overdone, annoying vocal gymnastics...just another way of looking at it.
