I first started liking the Backstreet Boys during the
time "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" music video was everywhere era.
At that time
Nick Carter was my favorite Backstreet Boy because
who didn't love Nick Carter and his penis hairstyle back then?!. My favorite song used to be
"Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely" but now I love
the same song, along with "More Than That".. Since becoming a fan, I have seen the guys on tour
ZERO times. My favorite tour was
Black & Blue because
although I've never gone, it looked cool as shit with dancers and explosions and whatnot; oh, and AJ's hot swag. The one song I wish they would perform in concert is
"Song For The Unloved" and take out
"Quit Playin' Games With My Heart" or "As Long As You Love Me". Nowadays, my favorite Backstreet Boy is
AJ McLean because
his voice and sexiness... most times. . I have to admit, at first I didn't think much of
Howie but now he's really grown on me. I still don't give
Howie much thought because I just don't have all that much interest in him or anything in common with him. If
Nick/AJ were to leave the band, there is no way it could continue on as a foursome, but If I had to pick one of them to leave, I would choose
none because
BSB will always be 5.The one thing I love most about these boys is
their music will always bring me back, especially to happier times (i.e., pleasant memories of my childhood); their resilience and persistence after all these years and all they've been through, not to mention their 20+ year bond is extremely admirable. But if I could
ask tell them
to change one thing it would be
fuck Jive, release all your unreleased!.
At the end of the day, we're all fans but the one thing that bugs me most about this fandom in general is
it's inconsistent for me personally; I'll be lost as a fan, found as a fan, lost again. I've strayed away from this fandom for years and was okay with it, and something has me crawling back to see what's been going on. Like I said, could be their music that will always bring me back. I think
AJ McLean is the most fan friendly where
(I honestly can't answer this because I've only ever met AJ and Brian) needs the most work. Regardless, I love these guys and will remain a fan forever unless
I get lost again... I think it's all on me, and living the life of being a closet fan, lmao!!Just to throw in some tidbits... I was actually REALLY scared of Kevin and AJ during the Millennium era, hahaha!! I was all about Nick, but Kevin and AJ scared me for some reason. Now, I'm into the bad boys (AJ)... funny how it turned out, lol. Another tidbit, the BSB and 90's nostalgia hit me so hard, I was blasting my Backstreet Boys station on Pandora, causing all my coworkers to love me for playing the station, and us workers and even our customers to jam along (totes was cheering these two older guys for jamming to "Larger Than Life" in the shop while they waited for us to serve them, lmao!)
Oh, and hi!
Missed you all btw!
Although I've strayed from the fandom, my forged "cyber" friendships with people were never forgotten, lol. <3
