Hey A.J~!!!:)
Ever since I heard about your problem over a month ago, I was really devastated. I know how hard it has been for u lately and I respect u by putting up w/it. It seriously took lots of guts to go forward and just tell the truth about u. I’m very proud of u and da Boys for doing that. The sooner u get help da better cuz u never know how worse it could get. Remember, u being healthy very important to all of us. I had realized your singing as a group wasn’t as good as alwayz. My mom pointed it out after seeing BSB on da Today Show (7/2/01). She figured u probably had something goin on between each other da day before. Then a week later, I saw da Boys announce u were going into rehab. After I heard the news, I felt heartbroken. I have been keeping up w/da latest on BSB. I heard from Kevin on KIIS fm that the rest of the BSB were hoping and praying that u get better soon and I do too. Da group just isn’t the same without u. More shows on da Black and Blue tour were postponed and one LA show was cancelled, but I understand that its all for a good cause. After recovering, I think you should start a charity to help people who were in da same condition as u. It would definitely benefit many and we would be really proud of ur accomplishments. No matter what, I will alwayz be here 4 da BSB~!!!, and I will alwayz luv u, nick, brian, howie, and kev 4rm da bottom of my heart. I want u to know that as a group, u guys brought something new into my life and I’m grateful for that. Thanx 4 all u have done and for bringing da Backstreet Pride into my world.
Get well soon, AJ and dont worry, everything’s gonna be alright, 143, 637, tIff~!!!:)

Dear Alexander James,
Think back on a time, AJ, when you were so extremely happy but more sad than you had ever been both at the same time. Think back when nothing could bring you down but nothing could boost you up. Remember the feelings that rushed through your body like the pain that shoots up, down, and everywhere throughout you just after being shot. For me, that time, AJ, was when all I saw was your name and various pictures being flashed through TV screens, printed on magazine covers, and even Internet sites everywhere had the crucial news. That time for me was not even a month ago when the news about you hit me harder than anything had hit me before.
If anything had ever made me cry, AJ, this was it. Mortified, I wasn’t sure what to think. Were you sick? Were you unhappy? I wasn’t exactly positive. What was wrong? Determined to find out everything possible, I set out. How was this going to make you guys look, having to postpone your biggest tour yet right in the middle of all your success? Exactly how were the press and the critics going to take all of it? How was this going to be to the Backstreet Boys, themselves, as far as your careers go? And most of all, were YOU, as AJ, going to be okay? As the salty tears streamed down my face for hours on end, I thought about every possible answer to my many questions. Then, as time passed, I realized that I needed to be more positive and think on the brighter side of things. With all the negative comments everywhere I turned, not only from radio DJs and crude magazine writers, but also from my peers and even adults, I turned my outlook around on the whole big deal and found out that through all of this, it was the right thing to do.
After realizing what really happened and why, I couldn’t get it out of my head. No one really ever knows the pressures and the weight that is put on your shoulders as being famous. You had made the right decision, in spite of what everyone was going to say to voice their opinion. What was so great about all of this was that you knew yourself. You KNEW that you weren’t that same “Alex” that your mom loved so much. You knew that you needed that extra boost up over the fence to get you to the other side. No one was quite sure of what was going happen as the 28 days slowly but surely passed by. And as your dedicated fans, AJ, we were with you until the end, willing to help give that push to help you if the fence was ever too tall. We always looked up to you and now, you still didn’t falter, repeatedly helping us through OUR problems and being that great role model and example to us.
So, now you know, AJ, why I was so incredibly happy at such a sad time, or so I thought. I know it is hard, AJ. It’s hard to maintain that perfect image everyone expects from you. Trying to relate to you as much as possible let me tell you something. Well, for one, I’m Mormon. Everyday of my life, I’m constantly watched by everyone around me; and the first mistake I make, they are the first to tell me so, to get on my back. I can’t even imagine what it’s like for you, but for all the hardships and all the pain you ever have AJ, just know that we’re here for you. We love you for just being AJ. I can’t thank you enough for the awesome example you are to me. I’m with you every step of the way. You inspire me, you help me, you are constantly making me strive to be better, and for that, I’ll never forget you. You’re in my thoughts and prayers always. Thank you, again. I am eternally grateful to you and am positive that this will only make the Backstreet Boys stronger as a group. My love forever & always,
Chelsea Bailey

Hi everybody, I have decided to make AJ a poem book. I originally was only going to fill it with my own poems, but
I think it would be better if it was filled with not only my poems, but the poems of his fans.
So I am asking you to sumbit your poems for AJ. I have limited space, so I might not be able to
use every poem I receive, but I will do my best. If you have any questions or you wish you sumbit
a poem, send them directly to me at swtd7@hotmail.com. When you send your poem, you may also
include a note to AJ if you wish, but please keep them brief as the more pages I use for each
poem, the less poems I can include and I would like to include as many as I can. Due to school
beginning for me in two weeks, I am not sure when I will get the book done, but as a curtosy to you,
once the book is finished and on it's way, I will e-mail everybody who had a poem in the book so
you know the book,did indeed, get sent to AJ. I also need idea's for the cover of the book. A title and what, if anything, should be put on the
cover. If you have pictures, you can submit them, but please be aware of the size. Also, if they are
of yourself with AJ or at a concert or whatever the picture might be, include a caption for it. As to exacly what sort of book I make, I am unsure about. I plan to go to the store here that sells
hobby and craft things t see what I can find. But the book will be made with care and to the best of
my ability. I do not have a scanner or anything, so I will not be able to show a picture of the
finished book, however, when I send out the notice when the book is sent, I will be glad to tell you
what it looks like. So many people have sent AJ cards and letters andpoems, but this book would be more than a letter
or poem, it will be a collection of poems that come straight from the heart of some of his fans. We
all love AJ a lot and I can't think of a better way to show it so please submit your poems to me and
help me in the making of a book that AJ will hopefully love and keep for years to come. Thank you. The e-mail again is swtd7@hotmail.com. Desiree (Please talk to me before posting this anywhere else. I don't know how much space for poems I will
have and don't want to have to leave anybody's poems off if I don't have to.)
