Fricki's Personal Millennium Review

Fricki Submitted By: (If there is a ** next to the song title, that means I cried upon listening to it) "Larger than Life": When I first heard this song, I said, "This is definitely going to be the opening song for their concert!" A.J.'s definitely the best screamer around! But overall, it's an upbeat, rockin' song. The electric guitar just adds that non-BSB edge, and the fact that it's dedicated to the fans makes it even better! "I Want it that Way": Admit it, you can't get this song out of your head! Even with the catchy lyrics, five part harmonies, and the fact that everyone gets a solo, would someone please analyze this song and tell me what it means?! **"Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely": It's a beautiful song; once again, everyone gets a chance to show off their vocal abilities. Listen to those lyrics and you'll hear metaphors and similes that you never would have thought you'd hear in a Backstreet Boys' song. The acoustic guitar is beautiful. "It's Gotta Be You": FUNKY! Great opening and danceable beat! Even though the lyrics are a bit 1995 Backstreet, the fact that you can always dance to this song makes up for it. **"I Need You Tonight": An original favorite of mine, though I do like the live version better. Nick's voice has obviously matured (Don't believe me? Listen to "Let's Have A Party"). The concept of the song is somewhat original, the lyrics are somewhat deep ... still not the best BSB creation, but it definitely showcases Nick's vocal talents. **"Don't Want You Back": As weird as it may seem, I did indeed cry upon hearing this song just because it was so awesome! A.J.'s voice is INCREDIBLE in it ... the whole song is just out of the ordinary. The Boys actually sing about something that's not "I'd go anywhere for you," blah blah, it's EDGY! Everything about it is original and FUNKY!!! FUNKY! FUNKY!!! Definitely one of my faves! "Don't Wanna Lose You Now": Great lyrics and meaning. This song could mean so many different things to so many different people, and for that fact, it's thought-provoking. "The One": This song is probably my least favorite; but if I did have to say something positive about it, I would say "Great use of echo and drum machine!" It's somewhat corny, but they sound great, and it has a catchy tune and beat ... for a certain amount of time. **"Back to Your Heart": Awesome job, Kevin! I don't think many people doubt after hearing this song that the man's got talent. The music and lyrics are beautiful, and I just love the meaning of the song! Kevin says it's about a guy thinking that the grass is greener on the other side, but he finds out it isn't and wants to go back. Isn't that a great way to describe it? And, oh yeah, I just swoon when I hear B-Rok sing in this song!!!! Love it! *******"Spanish Eyes": I CRY EVERY TIME I HEAR THIS SONG! On the Pay-Per-View pre-show thing, I heard a part of this and immediately wanted to know what it was! When I heard it on the album, I just started crying! It's so pretty; wonderful acoustic guitar and lyrics! (sob, sob) "No One Else Comes Close": THIS MUSIC WAS STOLEN FROM BOYZ II MEN! I am a huge Boyz II Men fan (I loved them before BSB) and I cannot listen to the acoustics at the beginning of the song (which sounds like a song from a CD I have) without thinking of them! But it is a good song ... one thing I cannot get over is how A.J. sings, "Every time ..." I'm not kidding! I have to listen to that over and over again! **"The Perfect Fan": YAY YAY Brian! Wow, am I impressed with B-Rok! The fact that it's not BSB material at all adds a remarkable twist! I love everything about it ... even though it's kind of like a gospel song (which is NOT bad at ALL). He came up with an awesome song ... what mother WOULDN'T want a son who writes a song like that for her? And THAT is my Backstreet Boys' "Millennium" review! Comment on this item.
