BACKSTREET BOYS REVEAL LEAST FAVORITE SONG IN THEIR CATALOG: The Backstreet Boys have several hit songs, but they have one specific song that they agree is their worst one. Four out of five of the guys agreed that their least favorite song in their catalog is “If You Want It to Be Good Girl (Get Yourself a Bad Boy),” which was on their self-titled debut album in 1996. The guys opened up in the latest video in their DNAuary series on YouTube. “That song should’ve never been recorded. It is the biggest piece of crap,” AJ McLean said. Kevin Richardson said the song is “horrible.” “You know why the fans love that song, because Nick is singing the whole dang thing,” Brian Littrell added. Nick Carter said, “I don’t really have a song that I don’t like.”
VICTORIA BECKHAM THINKS SHE’LL FEEL ‘LEFT OUT’ OF SPICE GIRLS REUNION: The Spice Girls announced back in November that they will be reuniting for a 2019 tour, but Victoria Beckham will not be joining the group on the road. In a new interview with The Guardian, Victoria opened up about her decision to not tour again. “I’m sure when they are on stage, a part of me will feel a bit left out. Because a part of me will always be a Spice Girl,” she said. Victoria was also asked if she will make a cameo appearance and she said, “No. Definitely not. What I do now is my passion and a full-time job. I’m excited to see it, though.”
DIDO RELEASES NEW BREAK UP TRACK, ‘GIVE YOU UP’: Dido is giving fans another taste of her upcoming album. The singer has released a new single called “Give You Up.” On the mellow track, Dido sings about getting over an ex. Dido said of the song, “It’s a good break up song, where you’ve been hurt but feel strong. It’s that point in a relationship where you are pulling yourself out of the gutter and deciding that it’s their loss. Which I can totally relate to.” “Give Me Up” will be featured on Dido’s first new album in five years, Still on My Mind, which will be released on March 8th. It follows previously-released “Hurricanes,” which arrived last November. In support of the album, Dido will also be embarking on her first tour in 15 years. She kicks off her North American dates on June 13th.
