I really don't think that people r getting what we r saying, so i'm going to post our comments about the 'marriages' up again. Read carefully and note that we know that they r normal human beings and we state this several times aswell as stating that we r being selfish and we know.Right................
Well, we r really annoyed with the people that r saying that by being upset about the 'marriages' we are not true Backstreet fans. Well, that is not for u to judge. We have been Backstreet SUPPORTERS since Nick was 14 and that has been 6 long years. Now u can’t say that we have not grown to know, love and respect them in all this time so don’t judge.
The Backstreet Boys themselves always say that they r normal human beings and so our feelings are normal human feelings. Why should we deny that we r angry.
Our anger is not directed at Kevin (as we realise that it’s his time, even though we were still shocked).
But Brian.........well that’s another story.
Why r we angry?
The way that he has dealt with the situation. For example. Why did he only 'confess' to his engagement once Kevin had also got engaged. He and Leighanne have been engaged for a long time, we understand that he has to tell in his own time but we get the feeling that he never intended too even say it.
Secondly Brian of all the backstreets constantly reminds us that his private life (including g/f's) is private. So why may I ask does he flaunt them in his music videos!!!!
E.g.
*Sam (g/f #1) was in 'We've got it goin on'
*Leighanne then appeared on our screens (much not to our delight) in the 'new' 'I'll never break your heart' video.
*AND Leighanne was also in the 'As long as you love me' video (tits and all).
And here is also a fact for everybody to think about. (We know this fact as we got it straight from the Backstreet band and Dancers)
Leighanne has changed Brian!!!!!!!! FACT!!!!
He is no longer the same happy-go-lucky Brian that we once knew (or thought we did).
And also since Leighanne has come along do we ever see Frick & Frack. (I think not).
Things have changed and however much Brian states that he has 'MATURED' this is not a reason to completely do a U-turn. He is not the same.
E.g. On a MTV news interview once he did not say one word and he continued to stare at the floor fiddling with a Coca-Cola bottle the whole time. We understand that he may have been tired and just generally on a low. But I’m sure the other guys felt exactly the same way.
Obviously we r not there 24/7 to observe so we only say what we see and think.
ALSO. In some interviews e.g. top 40 countdown, concert preview on trouble he is blatantly rude to other members of the band.
We r not saying ‘Oh, he can’t get married he is mine’ that is immature and stupid. But he has dashed thousands of girl’s dreams (not that he can help that by announcing marriage). There is no way that these girls who believe they love Brian in any way, shape or form can be happy for him. They may accept the fact that he is getting married but the jealousy does not go away. We all have to admit that we wish to be Leighanne and to be the one that makes him happy!!!!!
Here is a ‘normal’ example. If u really liked a ‘normal’ guy who told u that he was getting married u r saying that u would not be upset…..crushed in fact. It is the same for Brian lovers (e.g. Sarah) coz she (Sarah) sees him as a normal guy. And she is dealing with this in that way, as if he were somebody that lived down the road.
Now we r going to admit the reason we r angry about his marriage…………..It is because we want him in our lives (and the rest of the guys too! - esp Nick for Vicky and as we said before Sarah is the Brian lover, lol). We want to go shopping with them, go to the movies, play basketball, hang out and just simply be there with them. Even just being in the same room, having the same conversation and hearing their opinions on issues that interest them and us. That is what we dream about. Not hanging out at a concert backstage or going to ‘glamorous’ award ceremonies. It is not the hype that we dream about; it’s not what it’s about. It is about spending time with five normal guys who you can relate to.
We are being selfish, you think we don’t know this, we are not a part of their every day lives, yet they are a big part of ours, this is why it hurts!!!!!!!!
We are not only angry at them, we are angry at ourselves for allowing them to make us feel this way, BUT knowing somebody for six years, even though you have never met them does that to you!
We especially feel this way as we are from the UK, we feel like they don’t even think about us anymore, let alone acknowledge the fact that they have thousands of fans here. The only reason we learn about what is happening in their lives and careers is through web pages like these!! They don’t even remember names of awards we have given them or the fact that they repeat the same songs on the singles!! E.g. ‘I’ll be there for you’ was on the ‘I want it that way’ single and ‘Show me the meaning’. How forgetful can you be!!
But we will still be here for them, just like we always were! That will never change! After all it is all about the music!! (Well most of the time).
To finish up (as it’s getting late) we hope we have not sounded angry, obnoxious, rude or bitter.
We’ll get over it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Music is love, love is music, music is our lives & we love our lives. So thank you and goodnight!!!!

HEY!It`s me again...lemmi think.....its about the 4:th or fifth time i write here....but...i gotta say: i am so happy for brian and Kevin.
SOmeone wrote a LONG message, and said that brian wasn`t the same now as before.
Well, i think he is. But he has grown.
But he`s still the funny,sweet brian.
And leighanne is nothing else than good for him. She is sweet`kind,nice everything.
Leighanne has NOT made him a different person. brian is NOT stuped.
And, as a matter of fact, they`ve been together for a long time, and if brian would have changed, i would have for a long time ago.
Brian`s still the same. trust me!
And if they can`t remember what award they got, peaple listen, they got sooo many awards and sometimes it can be hard to remember what paper they got the award from.
I am so incredible happy for them being engaged you can`t guess.
And , they still love the fans. It`s make NO change at all that they are going married .
Np change at all.
they still love the fans, thinks we are larger than life.
We`we made them for what they are.
and sometimes, if it not seems like it, if you think they being arrogant, think of this. They are HUMANS!
They are no gods.
They have feelings as everyother persons.
They feels love,hurt,pain,happiness,they can be tired sometimes.
And that is not wierd, couse they are humans!
back to girlfriends/soon to come wifes, i am so happy for them!
Keep on being those wonderful persons that you are, with your wonderful wifes!
Lots lof love; anna

I for one and extremely happy for the both of them!! I think after all that they have done for us, the fans, and they deserve to be happy. I am very disappointed in they way some of the fans are reacting. It's their life they can do what they want with it. It doesn't matter how long you have been a fan or anything like that, it matters what kind of fan you are. If you are a true fan you will be happy for them and give them just as much support as you did before. But the people that are threatening to stop supporting them then you are not a real fan. Them being married doesn't change their MUSIC, which should be the main reason you like them! So decide what kind of fan you are.CONGRATULATIONS BRIAN AND KEVIN!!!!

I just wanna say that I'm so happy for KFC(Kentucky's Finest Cousins)..they deserve to be happy and people who can't see that don't realize how much of themselves they've given to us,the fans. Before I knew who they were or what they looked like, i knew their music and beautiful voices. And no matter what, it's all about the music. I have always been a BSB fan and as far as i can tell, I always will be a BSB fan. So learn to accept what you can't change and look for a better tomorrow. Lotz of Luv!Stephanie
P.S. I am a HUGE B-rok fan so for me to be happy for him says a lot..think about it, ok? e-mail me if u wanna comment or discuss, or just vent..i'm all ears...

HEY ALL YOU PEOPLE, FIRST OF ALL I AM VERY HAPPY THAT THEY ARE GETTING MARRIED BECAUSE ALL YOU BSB FANS KNOW HOW HAPPY THEY MADE YOU FEEL WITH THEIR MUSIC OR JUST STARRING AT THEIR FACES FOREVER, DON'T YOU THINK THEY DESERVE THE CHANCE TO BE AS HAPPY AS THEY MADE YOU FEEL. NEXT TIME YOU SAY SOMETHING STUPID LIKE YOU WANT THEIR GIRLFRTIENDS TO DIE JUST REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME YOU HEARED THEIR MUSIC AND HOW HAPPY THAT MADE YOU FEEL.BECAUSE THAT IS THE FEELING THEY GET WHEN THEY LOOK INTO THE EYES OF THEIR GIRLFRIEND.

Hi to all the true-BSB fans! Whassup?! It's me, Fel again! (I commented last thursday). I just feel the need to gush some more...I am just so happy 4 Brian and Leighanne, and Kevin and Kristin! I mean, yeah, it hurts a little bit to know that I won't become the future Mrs. B-Rok, but deep down, I knew that wasn't really going to happen...but hey, I still got my fantasies. Noone is telling me to stop dreaming about it. Besides, Brian was a lil too old for me anyways...lol. Did I really think that I was going to marry someone who would be about 26 by the time I graduate next year? hehehe...But anyways, what I'm trying to get out is that just because 2 of the Boys are getting married, doesn't mean that the whole world has changed. We've still got the BEST MUSIC IN THE WHOLE WORLD, and the guys won't lose their sweet personalities. I mean, Brian and Kev can still flirt their butts off with fans at the concerts...I mean c'mon, they're still men, hehe-they can't help it! They still love, and appreciate you guys!(We are "Larger Than Life"!) If they didn't, do you think they'd still be doing these gigs? And the Boys are NOT, I repeat NOT! breaking-up! They're in contract for atleast another 5 albums!! Aint nothing wrong with that!! I can't wait to hear the new album in October...quoting A.J., "It's gonna be da bomb." So anyways, if you guys are really true fans, you'll get over it, and still love the Boys for who they are. I personally, am VERY HAPPY for my Boys, and wish them the best of happiness with their gals...Peace Y'all! ;-)

Hey everyoneI've been reading all of the posts that people have put up and some of them are really pathetic. I mean come on guys! I for one am really happy for Brian and Kevin. It's about time that they each settle down and have a family. I mean Kevin is almost 30. And for those of you who are like "well leighanne and kristen are gonna end up cheating on them or that they are only in it for the money," well NEWS FLASH.. That's their problem. Ya know, some people seem to loose sight that the guys have personal lives. Their whole existence isn't to be the Backstreet Boys. They have personal lives and i don't think it's up to us to judge what they want to do with their lives. They are NORMAL people. And just like normal people, they get married, raise children, etc. It's stupid to stop being a FAN just cuz they are getting married. It doesn't mean they will stop caring about the fans. And for those of the fans that say that they care about the guys so much, and would do anything for them, and they love them with all their heart, and they only want the best for their guys....don't you think it's a littly hypocritical to say that they belong to YOU and ONLY YOU. If you REALLY wanted what was best for them...you would be happy for them and support them in ANY and ALL of their life decisions. And don't you think they would be upset to see their fans trash the people they love. It's their lives and they should be able to do whatever they want. So CONGRATULATIONS to Brian and Kevin!

I would just like to say that I am sincerely happy for the guys. I think everyone who is unhappy for them should have a reality check and figure out for themselves why they are really mad and depressed. If they are too distraught for that, they need a shrink. What I feel really needs to be said is the fact that who they marry is both none of our business and out of our hands. I also think that the details, the specific details,of both the wedding and who they marry(take Kevin's bride-to-be), are also none of our business. How would you feel if you were in the guys' shoes and had your wedding as if it was another concert-packed with screaming fans screaming"I love you ______"? Huh? I didn't think so. Has it ever occurred to you people that these guys might just want some privacy for once? Maybe even have a family? Sure, you all feel that way. And if you don't, I'm not going to say that you're not a fan cause I'm sure you've heard that. I'm just going to say that you have no heart. All you think about is what you want. Email me if you want to further discuss this. Heck, even if you want to diss me out. I don't care, I need a good laugh these days! Just remember, there are 3 other guys in the group-Nick: who seems to be everyone's favorite; AJ:sure, your parents might not want a guy with 10 tatoos, but who knows!;and Howie: a Latin Lover, my personal fave! Just remember what I have said...k?PS-Brian and Kev, if for some reason you see this, I want to wish you and your fiances a happy life together! And maybe even a few kids too! Thanx for all the hard work you have put into the band too! I appreciate it cause you have made me a happier person because of it!
