Whatever you call them (two chinese boys, Backdorm boys, variations thereof), these guys have produced some particularly fine examples of the art of YouTube lip-synching. This stuff is from their early days, before they got popular and started doing lip-synching live on TV and in stadiums, which to me sort of lost the point that they’re doing this stuff sitting in front of a computer in a University computer lab, with apparently oblivious people working on other computers behind them.
The best place to start is with the song that made them famous, the Backstreet Boys’ “I want it that way”:
Another early classic is this chinese love song:
Plenty of costume changes with the Black-Eyed Peas’ “Don’t Lie”:
Proving they still have it, a completely over-the-top version of a silly Jessica Simpson song:
And finally, a completely ridiculous German song, just in time for the World Cup:
