Teen idols aren't supposed to last
forever.
At least, that's the way the pop culture laws are written. The highway is
littered with memories of performers who once burned brightly, and then fell more
quickly than the posters of them that were hastily taped to bedroom walls across
the country.
However, with a new breed of boy bands topping the charts, some members of the
old guard have returned, taking another stab at pop fame.
Menudo alum Ricky Martin, former Take That member Robbie Williams, and one-time
New Kids On The Block Joey McIntyre and Jordan Knight will all return to record
racks this year, boasting older, wiser versions of the artists that girls once
swooned for.
MTV News caught up with these performers, and addressed the good old days and
heir hopes for this time around. You can find those remarks, and check out the
boys then and now, in this MTV News Online feature.
