The first time I heard them was when I was sitting in my dad's car. It was "We've Got It Goin On" I was smitten! They had amazing voices. I went on a search. But I couldn't find anything anywhere. I waited four years without ever seeing them. They are amazing vocalists and that is what they should be known for.

I'd take a bullet 4 those sweet guys. But today, Valentine's Day, out of all days, I seem to miss them and want them the most. I don't have a boyfriend to spend today with, so I look to the Backstreet Boys 4 love. I know I really haven't heard them say to me, "Chesna, we love you." But they have said many times that they love their fans. And I'm a fan. And that's enough love 4 me. Although I wish very much that the Backstreet Boys would love me like they would love their girlfriend. But hey, it doesn't hurt to dream, right? ~Chesna~ Submitted by Mary from .. ..

It is in that spirit that I consider the love affair between the Backstreet Boys and their fans. The passionate affection and unwavering enthusiasm the BSB fans show for their beloved is unlike any phenomenon I have ever witnessed. As an "older" fan I lived through some of the hype of the other groups the Backstreet Boys are compared to. However, I see several key differences that set this movement apart. First of all, despite the way the media portrays them, the Backstreet Boys fans encompass a wide range of people. They vary in age, race, gender, and background. Second, these performers are talented, hard working, and constantly make a sincere effort to connect personally with the fans. After I saw them perform live for the first time last October, that was my first observation. I never attended a concert where I felt SO much a part of it. Instead of just sitting as a spectator watching the performance, it felt more like an experience that each person in the arena was directly involved with. They simply have this way about them that makes each fan feel special and connected. They wave, they make eye contact, and they simply notice their audience more. This clearly illustrates the love and appreciation they feel for their fans. After all, they even dedicated a song for the fans - "Larger Than Life". Finally, their infectious energy, charisma, and positive outlook transcend their music. I am a living example of this. About a year ago, my mother died and the following months were a dark period in my life. I had difficulty climbing out of the daily feeling of loneliness and depression…until I found the Backstreet Boys. It still amazes me that these five guys could do something that my family or friends could not - give me the courage to move on after my mother's death. The more I read and hear from other fans, I realize I am not alone in this experience. I often hear fans recount how BSB touched their lives in a profound manner. Being part of the Backstreet Boys experience enable them to proceed past the dark times in their lives whether it be a death in the family, relationship break-up, personal illness, or simply frustration with life's challenges. Additionally, the Backstreet Boys brought fans together so they can not only enjoy the music and share stories, but also help each other. Don't ask me to explain why this happens or why these five individuals, who were brought together by destiny, have this particular effect. Sometimes you so clearly recognize a feeling, but somehow find it difficult to explain. Hmmm…sounds like being in love. So at this time of year when we take the time to celebrate love, I will remember my…no, OUR…love affair with Brian, Nick, AJ, Kevin, and Howie. Happy Valentine's Day to the ones we love!
