MTV NEEDS TO GIVE BSB A CHANCE JUSTLIKE EVERYONE ELSE I MEAN CMON THE ONLY TYME MTV GETS ALL THE ATT.

TRL is supposed to be a show where the viewers choose what videos they want to see. That is how the show gained popularity, BSB being a huge part of that, and that is how the show should still be.
THAT'S A LOAD OF CRAP!!!!!!!! What the hell is MTV'S problem?!?!?! Instead of playing real music they'd rather go with all this reality tv bullshit! And it seems now that all they play is rap and punk. Sure there's Hilary Duff and Jesse McCartney but these kids are amatures! The BSB made TRL!!!!!
Oh---MY----GOD! WHAT IS THIS LOAD OF CRAP?! MTV YOU ARE STUPID!! STUPID! STUPID!! STUPID!! Come on!!! DISCRIMINATION!! ::Chants DISCRIMINATION:: COME ON PLAY IT PLAY IT PLAY IT!! BSB BSB BSB BSB!! WE WANT BSBS NOW PLAY THE DAMN VIDEO!!! I hope you are taken off the air!!
Hatefully,

Good Lord, MTV is so stupid, I mean another station on TV will most likely pick them up and MTV will be lost out, personally, I think MTV is stupid it's Music Television but GASP! It has stupid shows on I never knew reality Tv was Music, gee you learn something everyday, can't you just hear the sarcasm? This is discrimination and just because MTV is MTV they should not be alowed to (Excuse my language) pull this shit. I am outraged, my radio station plays them all the time, they are constantly requested people are buying their CD's what the (again excuse my mouth) fuck is their problem?! Really, I mean look at Hilary Duff! I mean she's pop!! Good Charlotte, and Greenday certainly are not Punk no matter what anyone says so what's the deal with Backstreet boys? I mean come on at least it's not a bunch of rubbish music and the same kind of music everyone else sings, it's different and stands out MTV better get their shit together or their gonna be out money! GRRR!
In all Loathing towads MTV,
Courtney
It sucks that mtv rejects bsb fans like that, by not playing their video would make them any cooler?? bsb fans don't think so. So please mtv put them where they belong at #1.OR you will lose half or even more millions of fans. you guys are discrimenating good music, and that's not fair. BSB ROCKs!!!!!!!!!! QUE VIVAN LOS BACKSTREET BOYS!!!! VIVAN SON NUMERO UNO EN NUETROS CORAZONES!!!
