It kills me inside that the one person who has touched my life and influenced me to follow my dreams, now has lost his way. Although AJ appears to have everything, human emotions affect everyone...the big and small, rich and poor, famous and me. His music which pulls me out of my depressions cannot help him, and for that I am sorry. He has brought me great strength in my times of need. It helped me to know that I could write, sing, and act; that no one's opinion of me mattered but my own. He helped inspire me to follow dreams and I only wish some of his own inspiration had reached him. He is a phenominal writer, and I also think that this experience will help him realize his song writing potential. He spilled his heart and soul for MTV by playing his song for them. A song which speaks of losing one's self-vision, losing one's love, and losing one's happiness. All things which will lead anyone to alcohol and depression. My heart goes out to his mother, the boys, and especially, to him. He is strong enough to pull through this and become a better person inside and a healthier one out. AJ please get better!!All my love,
Joanie KTBSPA

when i heard on trl that AJ entered a rehab center i was shocked and upset i had never felt so upset over anything bsb before in my life! when kev started to get choked up i was in tears I want to send my best wishes to aj my heart goes out to him and his family! also i want to say that the reporters that are covering this story in print news need to know the facts before they print stuff like what was on the front page of the boston herald today 7-10-01 they need to know that aj is not a "backstreet boozer" as they said he was! i want aj to know that we all care for him and know that he will be back with bsb as soon as he is ready to be back! AJ I LOVE YOU AND WISH YOU THE BEST!

aj,
in order to make progress in anything you have to admit the problem. i am glad to see that you have done that. i hope that in the near future you can find your one true love and live happily ever after. in 30 days you will be able to venture out into the world a changed man and with this you can change the world. people will see that you said you needed help and take upon themselves to do the same thing. and dont say you cant change the world because since the rest of the guys made the announcement monday i know a couple of people that admitted they had a problem themselves. me for one. i thank you for helping me while you help yourself and i hope with my whole heart that you get better really really soon and get back to what you enjoy the most. love,
jennifer

AJ,
I am so saddened by this news because you are such an amazing person and talent, and my inspiration! But, I am so proud of the way you have decided to handle this. I could not even imagine how difficult that must have been for you. Not to mention what this past year must have been like. I hope that you make it out of this soon, and I know you will! I hope that everyone out there doesnt critisize you and the band, and that they will support you through this as I am. I want nothing more than for you to be healthy and happy. And I want to hear that amazingly beautiful voice of yours again very soon. I love you, and get better soon.

For the one who will always be there in my heart for ever ,,for the one who made us cry when we hear his voice,to the one who entered my heart for more than 7 years and he still pushing him to beat .
I know that u r in the end a human like us ,,and u have ur happy and sad days ,,sometimes i believe thats life is unfair with whom we love,,in the end what must happen will happen and God only knows why .
Aj,,,,when i heard about you and ur problems with alcohol ,i feel like its the end of what u and the band began,,but when ur mates appeared on TRL and when i saw their faces and tearing eyes,,,i realized that the backstreetboys is
more than a band or a music group.You don't have brothers or sisters but God bless u with great four brothers and friends that you will never find like them .GOD BLESS THEM.
I know you were sad in the last two months ,,you dont have to say it cuz it was clearly written in your face .Its about your grandmother and another problems that i know you won't tell them.It made us more proud of being u and bsb fans that
you didn't lie about that ,,,and you can't imagine how much it means for us .Yes Iam proud of u more than any time before and i do know that you did the right thing by asking ur mates help.
We're gona miss ya aj ,,,i know its only 30 days ,but ur health is more important than anything else in the whole world .Try to get well very soon cuz we will miss the guy who rocked out hearts and cures our souls.
Don't ever worry cause your fans surround you and support you and i am ready to give my life to you .Man u deserve more than that.
We all know that you r brave ,,and what you did is really hard even for the normal person ,and when it comes to a celebrity like you its gettin harder and harder .
I hope u can be an idol for so many people who afriad to do that ,,life is very precious for us .
For Nick,Howie,Kevin and Brian ,,,thank u to be so helpful with ur mate ,I wont ever forget ur faces in the trl when u all talked about him.The BSB will still larger than life
for ever .
For you Alex,,,thanks for being brave and honest with us ,and remember always that we will be by your side for ever.

Hi Alex,
I am going to start off by saying that I started this letter by calling you Alex because you are more of person and friend to me than you are someone famous.I have loved you,Howie,Brian,Kevin,and Nick for almost 6 years now.Since the beginning I have always been a Howie lover.I still love Howie (heck I love all of you), but I met all of you guys on February 4th 2001,when you did the show at Nassau Coliseum.I always knew you would be 5 really down to earth,nice people.I was also expecting you to be one "wild and crazy kid" too. The truth is you weren't,and although I love your wacky moves onstage and how you and the rest of the boys interact with eachother onstage,I must say that you are even better as a person (I never knew there was better than you already were until I met you).When I met you,you literally stole the Shape Of My Heart,and you will always have it.The amount time you spent with me,and how you interacted with me while you were up onstage (I was front row)is unbelieveable,and that's the major reason why I love you more than I did just a few months ago.Then you prove me wrong just when I think I can't love you more.You were man enough to recognize the problem that you have,and when you realized it for yourself,you turned to your 4 brothers,the guys that mean the world to you (just like you mean the world to me)and told them you wanted help.I am so proud of you!Initially I was so heartbroken when I realized how serious the problem was but when I thought about it,in reality, you really want to be helped.When my mom saw me reacting so drastically (by crying) to what you are going through she then realized just how much I do love you and it's way beyond obsession.She was the one who got me to meet you and see your concert because when you did the Into The Millennium Tour I had to leave due to unsafe seating and was treated badly by people who worked there (there are better people there now).If it wasn't for her I wouldn't have actually had the time to sit with you and realize what a wonderful person you are (I already knew that but now I know how great you are on a more personal level).It took her a year and a half but she did it!My concert for the summer was cancelled until September and that was one of the first things my Dad was expecting me to be upset about but I told him that even if you guys didn't have back up dates that it wouldn't matter to me because it was hard to get tickets,but even more than that I don't care about the concert issue because I have memories of when I met you and saw the concert that I will always have.There is always T.V.if you didn't have back up dates,or even if I just can't get tickets to another show . As long as you are ok and happy then that's what will make me happy!You are most important in this situation as Alex,not AJ the Backstreet Boy,although I have full faith in you to get better and get back to being that "crazy kid" AJ onstage.One thing I always want you to remember is that you have zillions of fans around the world who love you,you have your 4 brothers (Howie,Nick,Brian and Kevin),you have your family, and you have the Shape of Marissa Meleske's Heart,always and forever!!!I love you Alex!!!
Love your friend and #1 fan Marissa (p.s. to the fans: no I don't actually have contact with AJ I just met him that one time and automatically felt like he is more of a friend than a celeb so that's why I refered to him as being my friend)

AJ,
I am 13 years old and I am very glad that you came up with enough courage to go and get some help for your problems! Don't care what other people think of you about this because you did the right thing! You never know that there may be a 19-99 year old fan out there that went to go get help because their role model AJ McLean went to go get some help for his problems! Hope you get better!!! SMILE :) because you did the right thing!

AJ~
I just wanna wish you good luck and hope that things get better with you soon. It's good that you are seaking help, but i think that it is horrible that the news and stuff are making a big deal about it. I mean its your business and you guys came out with it wanting to be honest with the fans, and the media is making it something its not....Well good luck AJ
Love ya~
