Submitted by Edel from iloilo city Philippines Date: Mon Aug 26 06:03:37 2002 hi again! to the bsb fans out there! guys, although that article made me half-cry, i still believe most of it aren't true. you see, nick is releasing a solo album and the bsb album will be due next year. am i right? i think some people just want bsb to totally fall apart and yeah, i agree, that article should not be printed. there is no point in the whole idea of doing it except to bring frustration and sadness to the bsb fans and to ALTER OUR "PSYCHOLOGICAL PROCESSES" NOT TO ADMIRE THEM anymore AND THINK THAT THIS WHOLE BSB STARDOM IS OVER. of course, it is a human interest but people who benefit from it are not us. not the boys themselves either. all we have to do is to JUST BELIEVE WHAT THE BOYS THEMSELVES ARE SAYING and listen to our instincts, believe that they can still make it. The writer (s?) doesnt know the real deal, i guess and he(she?) only writes. the real story is with the boys themselves. so let's still KEEP THE BACKSTREET PRIDE ALIVE! Submitted by Edel from iloilo city Philippines Date: Mon Aug 26 05:54:50 2002 hi guys!(Backstreetboys) i've been ur avid fan since late 1995 and ever since i have never let any boygroup replace for to me you are the best this pop world has ever produced and you, falling apart, will be the hardest thing to ever accept... God! But no matter what happens, I will still be here and please, you're like brothers, right? and brothers always get back together after the storm. can you please stay the way you are? i know i am beggin and i know it's just an article but it touches every string of my heart. i can't imagine seeing a new member or sumthin... Just remember, i still believe in the Backstreet Pride and that pride will be kept alive, burning and soaring forever... that's my word.... xxx Submitted by BSbabes from Cebu City Philippines Date: Mon Aug 26 03:53:26 2002 Backstreet Boys, BSBabes will always be here for you... we love you so, so, so much... You're our "Number One"! God Bless... Always........

MMMMWWWWAAAHHHHH!!! kisses and prayers, GAIL CAÑETE Submitted by Aimee W from North Battleford Saskatchewan Canada Date: Mon Aug 26 02:40:03 2002 People look at bsb and see "...a bunch of over priced old guys trying to relive their youth." The truth is that they have gone through alot just like alot of other people in this industry. Arttist get taken advantage of and forced into things by managment and labels that they don't want to do. Alright if a band is starting out and needs some directing but a band that has been out for 9 years. They have seen it all. And being asked to postpone a possible life changing/saving surfury for a tour? I'm sorry but would you rather have all boys healthy and performing to the best of their ability, then to pospone a tour or continue without. I am glad this article came out. It shows people that these bands are not all fabricated bling-bling flashing people...but rather people just like you and I who may love the line of work they are in but dread going to work beacuse their bosses make it dreadful. Good luck bsb. Hugs and Cookies Aimee a.k.a Smaimee Submitted by annette from Tracy CA USA Date: Mon Aug 26 00:26:03 2002 yeah baby!! our boy nick won survival of the sexiest!!! he so deserved it!!

Message converted to lowercase) Submitted by Heather from Brunswick Ohio USA Date: Mon Aug 26 00:21:49 2002 ok, i already put in an entry but i saw something very interesting this morning. i had just woken up and went to go get the sunday paper. well, the entertainment section was lying out on the couch. the front page had this very article on it. for thos of you in the cleveland area who get the plain dealer it ws in the august 25th paper. i couldnt believe it. i started to get mad and no1 in my house really knew why. all i said was this article is half lies. but i'm gonna keep the article cause it has a cute picture of them on it..lol. if any of you other guys have had this article in your papers email me and let me know. my email is ShadyBlossom16@aol.com. u can either email me or IM me. i'm online a lot. i jutst think it's crazy for this article to get printed. i mean i know every1 is entitled to their say but if ur gonna write something, atleast get every fact correct. it's a crazy world when ppl can write stuff that aint possibly true. oh well. i'll catch all u backstreet fans on the flip side. peace out! Submitted by Jim T. from Orlando FL. USA Date: Mon Aug 26 00:14:44 2002 Well, after reading it, I think what's happened to all of the guys(one thing or another)is what happens to us all...Life. So what if Brian and Kevin got married....People do that kinda thing. A.J. checked into rehab...Stuff like that happens everyday too. Nick trying to expand his horizons by going solo...Could be a good thing, but even he wouldn't know until he's tried. And the recording industry is like the retail industry that I work in...Always has it's good stores and good things. After a while, they loose some character, but as they re-invent themselves, some good does come out of it. You've just gotta hang in there and see what happens after all the dust settles. Submitted by annette from Tracy CA USA Date: Sun Aug 25 23:37:19 2002 I just wanna point out to all the BSB and Nick haters and untrue fans. That no matter what you ppl say the 'true' fans will deny all of it. If you say you were a 'true' fan and lost interest don't bother posting your opinions on this site! Submitted by Amy from Windsor Ontario Canada Date: Sun Aug 25 22:36:21 2002 Hi,All you BSB fans out there! I truly believe the boys will make it out of this mess their in right now they been through it before and truned out just fine. I mean they've been through worst and still stayed together. I mean the whole thing with A.J. wouldn't brought a group way down but no the boys stayed strong and stayed together. But one thing I must agree with the article is that the Boys should release something because Nsync isn't doing anything and right now would be the best time to knock all those S.O.B critics off their nice office chairs. All I have to say is if all you bsb fans out there are true fans you should stay true and KEEP THE BACKSTREET PRIDE ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the boys are counting on us to stay true so do it BSB forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I LOVE A.J. Always and Forever) Amy(BSB fan for life) Submitted by Phoenix from New York New York USA Date: Sun Aug 25 22:32:29 2002 I have been a bsb fan since '97. I thought I knew it all, but after reading that article, I realized that they went through so much more. All those rumors are a bunch of bullshit. Ever since bsb came on to the scene, people wanted them gone. Unfortunately, they are here to stay. I'm not saying they are going to be here forever, but i think it is going to be a while before they depart from the music business. The issue with nsync. People need to lay off of them. they are similiar to bsb in that they are guys who want to share there gift of music with the world. Their only problem was who helped get them started. other than that, there should be no reason to hate them. Anbd Nick going solo. That's fine with me. Everyone should do their owen thing outside of bsb. Brian, A.J., Kevin, and Howie, don't limit yourselves. There is so much for you to do. Everyone has their charity. Why not have more? There's nothing wrong with that. And whoever wrote the article, ignore them. Their just doing their job. Like bsb, people might not like what they do or say, but they are going to do it despite what you say because it is their passion. BSB, I respect everything you have done, are doing and are going to do. My love for you guys wil never die. Submitted by Trigger from woodstock il USA Date: Sun Aug 25 21:27:33 2002 The article didn't seem all that biased about bsb and nsync. but whoever said that you give them more respect after reading that article, i totally agree with you. They go through so much shit for us, and they deserve all the respect in the world. i say, they need to spend more money on letting themselfs decide on what they want in life, and making some better choices on who they want to control their lives. Those jive people act like they are god, you know?? these are grown men, and they can wipe their asses by themselfs. They dont need people to make up their lifes. I hate management. lol, can you tell? stay true bsb fans, cause we're never dissapointed w. bsb's music. peace, love, & bsb, trigger Submitted by Kristin from Missouri USA Date: Sun Aug 25 20:12:15 2002 Oh yeah, the pic of Nick on the N-carter.com website is REALLY hot! Surf on over if you haven't seen it yet! Submitted by Kristin from Missouri USA Date: Sun Aug 25 20:09:20 2002 We all know that critics of the Backstreet Boys and N Sync have been predicting the demise of "boybands" (five-part vocal harmony groups) for a very long time. Nick's solo project is only the latest reason why they think the BSB are splitting up. We have all heard Nick say that Now or Never isn't going to interrupt the next Backstreet Boys album. I am listening to "Help Me" right now and I think that it's awesome. I can't wait to get the CD. (Rock on Nick!)The only thing this article did was make me respect the boys even more. They've had to go through so much to put their music out there for us fans. I think that if I ever got to meet them, I'd thank them for not giving up. I would have been a lot easier. If anyone out there is doubting how much longer the Backstreet Boys are going to be together, have a little faith. Submitted by Lorin from USA Date: Sun Aug 25 19:16:28 2002 I know I must have said this a million times but the rumors will NEVER end! You as true fans just have to know the truth from the false! For all the guys have done for you I hope you can do that from them. Look at Areosmith they are still going strong, maybe not as strong from when they were younger, but still very strong for their age. And you wanna know why they are still doing that? Because of their fans! Stick by Brian, Kevin, Nick, Howie, and AJ, keep the faith, and I promise everything will be alright! KTBSPA!

Submitted by melissa from USA Date: Sun Aug 25 18:47:07 2002 hi, I personally think the reporter didn't know what he was talking about. Nick has said in serval differt interviews the solo project WILL NOT affect the group in any way. Remember when AJ did his mini solo tour a couple years ago. That didn't affect the gropu in any way, so why would tthis. I know it's been awhile since a new album has came out, but that was the same beetween their first and second albums and they came back strong, and this album will be even stronger. KTBSPA!!!! Submitted by chery from Netherlands Date: Sun Aug 25 17:44:17 2002 i must say that, even though i still stand beside them, the artikle is true. It's time for a new bsb eara, a adjusted sound to this time, a maybe more daring. Don't get me wrong, i like the music they made so far. but this buisness is about keeping up to date, and i believe that they have been sticking whit the same sound long enough. it doesn't mean i'm any less fan than before, it just means that i would like to see them succesfull for al long long time :) cheryl Submitted by Amanda from Hestand KY USA Date: Sun Aug 25 17:15:56 2002 how can we say that we are "true" backstreet fans? I began reading a few posts and it made me sick. I have been a fan for over 7 years now, and I don't plan to let one little article make me stop being one. i think this reporter has nothing else better to do than try to ruin the backstreet boys. i have to say one thing about nick - if he really and truly loved the guys like he says he does he wouldn't have stayed with the firm - he knew that would have bothered them.. but i guess that's the way it goes. ktbspa!
