I think it brings up a lot of points that fans sometimes don't think about. I also think that the Mature fan club is a great organization but I only have one problem with it...the name. Whats to say that the younger fans, like take myself for instance, aren't just as mature as the older ones. -Shannon Submitted by Niki from Glen Carbon IL USA Date: Tue Jan 4 18:16:13 2000 I agree to an extent. I mean not everyone is out there raiding their bus, and trying to steal from them. But, some fans do need to calm down. I don't agree with the part that she said about seeing them walking down the street. I guarantee you if I saw Kevin Scott Richardson walking down the street, I am going to stop him, yes I'd introduce myself, and yes, I'd say thank you so much for all the beautiful music you make, all the charities you support, and all the smiles you and your group bring to fans around the world. But immediatly after, I'd ask if he wasn't in a rush, could I have his autograph and take a picture with him. That's the price they pay for being celebraties. But afterwords, I wouldn't stalk him or I wouldn't invade his private life by asking him where he's going, with who, and what time, so I can be there in my sunday best. But, I don't think that the Boys mind an adoring fan's scream or hug. But, no they don't want their things stolen or the clothes ripped off their body. And as far as buying their CDs being trivial. It's not. That's what has brought them to where they are. Buying a CD may be a trivial everyday occurance to us. But, that's what puts food on their table, and clothes on their back. That's what they are in the business for. To them, maybe the precious few of us who are RESPECTFUL fans are...Larger Than Life.

The only time that I mentioned screaming was in reference to waiting for the tour bus at 5a.m. and screaming in that particular situation. With that statement, I asked if the reader would like someone doing that to him/her.

If you can show me one place she implicates younger fans I will be shocked because she never puts blame on any age group of fans. I think the fellas as artists and musicians would agree. Any artist for that matter would agree. I will now state on e again teh article was written with warmest regards towards the backstreet BOys themselves.

I don't think we should say that us fans should scream and stuff. I think they appreciate us showing our support for them. A few months back I saw something on CNN that said screaming is a psychological thing. But other than that, I agree totally with the article Submitted by Maria from Edmonton Alberta Canada Date: Tue Jan 4 18:10:17 2000 Fan reaction is really, in human words, screaming.

If only the Backstreet Boys themselves have read it! I mean, they are so used to criticism and "boy band" stuff, or Seventeen articles that make them look like God's gift to women that they might be surprised to discover there's actually a good article out there! Submitted by dolli from sacramento california usa Date: Tue Jan 4 18:04:44 2000 i totally agree with this opinion. every one needs to stop actinh obsessive. we need to respect bsb and thank them for what they have given us and what they do for us. they won't get sick of us that way and will continue to strive to do better. !!!!!! Submitted by Alena from Amity New York, United States Date: Tue Jan 4 18:00:43 2000 I agree with everything except for the fact that the author says fans screaming at them are a bad thing I happen to know for the fact that they love the fans' reactions and isn't that why they are singing?
