Backstreet Boys will always be the first best thing in my heart especially Howie. Boys, we're always here for you no matter what. through sad and happy times, good and bad and through thick and thin, BSB is still the best!. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY HONEY, HOWIE D.! (AUGUST 22) God Bless You, your family and BSB... LOVE YAH ALWAYS...

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

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.

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!

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.

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?

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!

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.

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!

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

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!

Ya know this article was ONLY put out there to make you loose your faith in the Backstreet Boys and for some of you it seems that you have. If that is the case than you weren't a TRUE fan to begin with! I know you all say "The Backstreet Boys won't be around forever," And hey, I know when they are 90 years old they are NOT going to be dancing up on stage to "Everyone." LOL But what I also know is that Music is their life and they are NOT just going to give up on it so easily. They are going to keep on doing it as long as we keep on supporting. So support the guys-KTBSPA! And remember this quote- "Ignore the media, not the guys!"

I agree w/ what Kevin said. I loved "black and blue" but I was somewhat dissapointed by it. It just wasn't s good as i thought it would be, but it is a good cd. Bsb won't last forever but I don't think that thier time is up. I want them to come out with another album a.s.a.p but that's not going to happen, so the boys need to go ahead take some more time off so when thier next album comes out, they can do it right. I applaud nick for going solo becuase you can only be so much of yourslef being in a group. I want to get to know Nick Carter the artist now, I already know Nick Carter of the backstreet boys, you know what I'm saying. Personally I think all of them should do solo projects in the near future. I also agree with them saying that everytime they wouldn't do something, they would get NSYNC to do it. I see that. I'm tired of my boys alway being second best to them. Nysnc is a great group but I think that there isn't much difference between their first album and thier second. Bsb has grown a lot, and as backstreet boys fans we have too. We've grown together, and as long as that keeps happening (us growning togeether) then everything will be alright. so keep the faith, and keep the backstreet pride alive. PEACE!!!!!1

i agree with the statements made in this article. i love backstreeet boys especially nick. if i read this article a few years ago, i would have strongly disagreed with it, but now i realize that its the truth and i can finally accept the fact that the boys wont last forever. i hope nick has a lot of success with his solo album but maybe he should have talked it over more with the rest of the group so that there wouldnt be hard feelins. i really respect all the members but pretty soon the group will eventually come to an end, if they want kids or do anything else with their lives it will be best to do it after the band takes a break. i would be so sad if they broke up but just think of all the good times,and joy and pain that has made us stronger, that the backstreet boys have brought to us!

I think the article was very informative. I thought how amazing it was that they have managed to stay together all this time after all the shi* they have been put through with past manangement, record companies, concert promoters and lou f*cking pearlman who are just out to make a quick buck on them and not keeping their best interests at heart. I did think the release of the hits chapter one album was premature and they should have been able to wait until 2003 to release it but that is just one of the many examples where their thoughts and ideas get disregarded. It sickens me that lou pearlman still has his hand in the "backstreet pie" after all these years. He is a greedy bastard that took advantage of 5 young talented guys who just wanted to (and still want to) make music. I have been a bsb fan since 1998 and have traveled all over the country just to see them in concert and I will continue to support bsb in whatever comes next. KTBSPA!!! :)
