Anyways... I really think this is their best video yet. The only video that made me come close to crying before was "Back at One", but I couldn't help it, BSB's video was so touching I couldn't help crying. This video is great artistically also, I'm an artist, I should know. The use of color was wonderful. I noticed that everything important is in red, or has red leading your eyes to it. The halls of the hospital led to Brian, their was a red quitar in Kevin's room, Kevin and his dad both had on red in the home film thing, the Denniz St. was red, there was red on the table Howie was leaning on, Aj's "girl-friend" image in the video had on a red necklace, the girl Nick saved had a red scarf, Howie's "sister" had on a red dress, the table Howie is leaning on is red, the girl who is fighting with her boyfriend has bright red lips, and so on. Did anyone else notice this? Submitted by Rhiannon from Vista CA USA Date: Mon Jan 10 16:18:53 2000 I thought the video was really good !! And when I saw It brought tears to my eyes. Submitted by Kari from Kingsport USA Date: Mon Jan 10 16:18:31 2000 I love this video! It's the best music video I have ever seen on MTV. I'm a sucker for sad songs and if it has a depressing video with a story to tell, I'm hooked. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED Brian's part and thought it was awesome, but I don't see how it really fit with the theme since no one else was there. It was just him, and he died. I do, however, wonder how he felt about doing that scene... Kevin looked so sad, and it was very powerful when he sang "are you with me now" and it looked like his dad was looking over his shoulder. Howie's part was really good. I heard somewhere that he and his sister used to get together at places like that to talk and catch up. He looks like he's about to cry, it's so sweet and so sad all at the same time. Then when Kevin comes in and nods to him like "it's time", that's a great effect. I got to see AJ cry. There's something I thought I'd never see! The tear is a really nice effect, I don't think it's cheesy, looks authentic to me. AJ's a really interesting person. I used to not care for him, but I got to reading a good site about him I found through LinkExchange and got really interested in him. Nick's part I'm lost in. I read someone thought he was like a guardian angel, which sounds pretty good to me. He saves either the girl in the argument or AJ's girl, I'm not sure which. Everybody getting together in the street with all the steam and just the whole mood was awesome. This video has a dark, dreary mood that fits the song perfectly. Submitted by Amy from Waltham MA USA Date: Mon Jan 10 16:13:03 2000 I think the video is really sad, but I still like it ofcourse. They also look really really HOT in this video, well, they always do. It's very different from all of the other Backstreet videos;much more serious than the past videos. I think it's really sad when they show Kevin watching videos of him and his father. Also, when A.J. gets off the bus and it says Denniz Street. :*( it makes me cry every time! Well, Later people! K.T.B.S.P.A. FOREVER! Submitted by Lisa from Troy USA Date: Mon Jan 10 16:10:41 2000 I think the video is amazing! It shows a side of the Backstreet Boys that not many people have ever sceen before. I am proud of Kevin to be able to show videos of him and his father playing football. I congradulate Brian for being able to show how scared he was when he had his surgery. I am also proud of Howie for caring so much about his sister and AJ for being able to care so much about his ex-girlfriend becuase it shows how much of a romantic he truley is. The only thing that I'm confuessed about is what Nick is doing in it. If any one knows what he is doing, please e-mail me. I'd appreciate it a ton. Thanks.

You know when Kevin comes out of the elevator and he sees that couple having an argument. Well I realized that that girl is the same girl who walks out in front of the bus. So I put two and two together and noticed that the girl was trying to kill herself because she had a fight with her boyfriend. But, then Nick saves her from lonliness. (awwwww) The rest of the video is pretty much straight foreward, and I can understand what all the other's are lonely about. But overall, the whole video is INCREDIABLE!!!!! I really like it!! I think it makes it a whole lot personal, and the fans can also relate to it more than any other BSB video. So out of 10, I rate it a 10++++++++(ect) See Ya!!! Submitted by Nikki from Bethpage, New York, USA Date: Mon Jan 10 15:55:48 2000 I don't usually cry during a music video b/c of the video. The only two I cried during the first time I saw it was Brian McKnight's "Back at One" and BSB "SMTMOBL." I personally think that "Show Me The Meaning" is the best BSB video yet. What sucks is that this is one song on "Millennium" that they didn't write. I think it would've gotten more recognition from MTV or whatever if the song came from then. And it would be even more touching. It is still a very awesome video! Keep it number 1 on TRL! Go to www.mtv.com and scroll down to the bottom to the list of shows and click on TRL, for those of you who haven't voted yet. Well, KTBPA! Peace out! Submitted by megan from wheeling, west virginia, united states Date: Mon Jan 10 15:50:41 2000 What can I say? It's amazing!!! It was so much more beautiful and powerful than I ever expected it to be. Here's my take on each of the scenes: Brian: This scene is great. When I first saw it on MTV's 2 Large, I didn't realize that it was him in the bed. I must have looked away when they showed the cloee-up. I thought that it was just someone he was sympathizing with. Anyway, I watched again the next morning and when I saw him in the bed , my heart dropped!!! I think that Leighanne should have been in this scene. That would have been a nice touch. A.J.: He looks so good in this video! The lighting does wonders for him. I thought that the tear was a nice touch. I didn't think that it was cheesy. I also liked the effect that the director used to make the girl disappear. This is probably a tribute to his girlfriend who died when he was 14. Kevin; His scene is my favorite, simply because I know exactly how he feels. I lost my grandmother in December 1994. She died on the table when she was having surgery. Also, four months ago I lost a wonderful friend to suicide. The pain is at times unbearable and I'm getting choked up just writing this. Kevin, you are an amazing man. Your strength has inspired me so much. Keep doing what you're doing. Howie: Again, I feel his pain. When he sees his sister running towards him and he wants to help her but he can't, I under stand so much. Howie, you are amazing as well. I don't know what I'd do if I lost one of my siblings. I think my favorite part of this scene is when we see Kevin standing behind him. Then Howie turns around and sees him and Kev nods as if to say "I know exactly how you feel. I can help you if youd just come with me." Nick- There's been a lot of debate as to what his scene is about. Ithink that he just feels lonely because he's been a Backstreet Boy since he was 13 and he never got the chance to have a real relationship with someone. When he saves the girl and looks at her he realizes that he's found someone just as lonely as he is. The Group- I think that what they're saying in the end is that no matter what happens, no matter what personal problems they face or how many people try to bring them down, they will keep their heads high and keeep walking. Together. We BSB fans have been blessed with stunningly beautiful video. I hope that they work with Stuart Gosling again because he's amazing. BSB forever!!!!!!

But "Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely" made me cry from the very beginning to the end of the song. Because each scene of the Boys in the video, it is actually what they went through in their life (I am not sure about Nick's part). I have to say this is the BEST video ever made by the Backstreet Boys. Don't get me wrong, I love and enjoyed their other videos, but this one really hits the mark. They are so mature in this video. I really appreciate the boys for making this video, it showed us, the fans, that it is not all happy times in their lives, they have encountered sad times too, just like us. I know how painful for the guys to make this video, but I love them for making this video. Well Iam positive that this video is gonna get tons of awards. KTBSPA!!!! Keep them in the TRL countdown on the #1 spot forever!!!! Love ya Nick, Brian, AJ, Howie, Kevin!!! First Page - Previous - Next - Last - Add Entry - Other Topics - Message Boards - Exit Page 48 of 50
