In 1998 I wasn't that much of fan because... yeah, everyone was loving them and I was in my Enrique Iglesias's phase because no one in Italy knew about him. I mean, I loved them, I loved the music but I wasn't as crazy as I am now. And all my classmates were all about Nick so, of course, I was the only one who would go and say "But Brian is much better" and they were all looking at me like I was an alien. lol
And, of course, I started really following them with Never Gone, when no one here would give a damn about them. LOL
