You are just asking for trouble…

Readers of this blog know that the worst thing you can ask a fangirl to do is choose between NKOTB and BSB. (Actually, the worst thing you could do is mention that other 90’s boyband. The group that most of us went to see in 1998 because JK was opening for them-but that is for another day). We spent our childhoods with NKOTB before BSB stole our teenaged hearts. If you ask a fangirl this question, be ready, because you are looking for trouble.

So imagine our surprise when our new fangirl crushes asked this very question on Twitter. The response was instantaneous-"WhosArmy, this could get ugly." Obviously, we knew the guys were joking around, but as any fangirl knows this is not a topic we take lightly. Who hasn’t spent hours discussing the pros and cons of picking one over the other? This is the very reason that we went absolutely crazy over the tour in the summer-we didn’t have to choose between them, all of our men were there. I know that the guys of WhosArmy want to talk to fans on Twitter, but were they really ready for this? If you thought that we tweeted fast before, just wait to see what happens when you mention those men to us.

Just when we thought we couldn’t love these guys any more, Max said that his favourite NKOTB song was Hangin Tough. Not only is he talking about the New Kids, he now has us picturing them in those Celtics jerseys-well done on his part. Then he tweets "we're gonna consummate, so let's coversate"-timeline explosion. Was he really listening to Sexify my Love? Cue every single fangirl tweeting the lyrics back at him-including this group’s favourite "I don't care where we are, on the hood of my car, out in public making love in the streets, All alone, back at home, we can do anything you want, I'll give you heaven while we mess up the sheets." Not that we need an excuse to think like this, but suddenly our fangirl crushes have grown and our BBM conversation that night was not about the guys from NKOTBSB, but about WhosArmy.

So keep up the good work guys, you certainly know how to get fangirls excited. You keep tweeting about how hot you are after rehearsal and about breaking drum sticks because you are hitting too hard and you will never get rid of us. Fellow fangirls, make sure you are following @CMC_WhosArmy-you won’t be disappointed, trust me. By the way, their response to the debate was: "So it’s pretty much unanimous, and that makes NKOTB larger than life"-how can we not love that?
