Cause It’s Always Darkest Before The Dawn…
Once upon a time, back in 2006...Kevin left the group. And I mean completely left. We didn't know if he was coming back. In retrospect I wonder if the others knew. But at the time, we didn't. We didn't have a clue. I mean, it hit us pretty hard because it felt like an end, … Continue reading Ten Years Since The Return of Kevin and We Couldn’t Be Happier
Honestly, I'm still riding the high of the past two weekends as I write this. But also, those shows reminded me of something. Besides the fact that the Boys will be turning THIRTY as a group next year...it got me thinking about how truly lucky we are as a fandom. Because as the pandemic reminded us, … Continue reading This One Goes Out To You – Happy 29th, Backstreet Boys
Before I get too far, I should probably admit I'd be watching this even if Howie wasn't on it. My mom, was a massive Patrick Swayze fan, and by massive I mean growing up we had every movie of his on VHS which got replaced by DVDs that I now have. It's pretty impressive. So … Continue reading Howie D Begins His Journey to Johnny on “The Real Dirty Dancing”
I love talking about music. Obvious, right? Given that this is literally a fan blog about a boyband. But then again if I told people in real life they'd probably assume it'd only be about the lighthearted shallow stuff. And I love writing those posts too. But when it comes to writing on here or … Continue reading Musical Diversity Within the World of BSB
So I do and will have other posts coming. They kind of got delayed because well? Real life got in the way. But as we come to the end of the year, I see tweets and I see comments, or I hear them. And you know, they make sense to me. Even if I don't … Continue reading Fandom Life In A Time Without Backstreet
Anyone else really tired of the fact that the group account tends to pretend that the "Kevinless" albums don't exist? Like okay I know it wasn't the same without him. I know for Kevin fans, it was practically the Dark Ages. They were in a way "underground" as I tend to call those eras. I … Continue reading Songs We Love From “Unbreakable” and “This Is Us” That Show Those Eras Shouldn’t Be Forgotten
The After Party is over and the show itself was unlike any other I'd ever been to. A review didn't do it justice though I did talk about it and the VIPs . But now I want to talk about the soundcheck. It was a last minute decision because the way it'd been originally advertised … Continue reading Why I Think Soundcheck Parties Should Come Back in a Pandemic Era
I love talking about music. About the process, about the songs, the melodies, everything. One of the more fascinating things in BSB history would to me, be what is known to some fans as the Dirty Little Secrets era. The reason it's called that, is because there was a rumored song they recorded between 2002 and the … Continue reading The Backstreet Album That Never Was…Dirty Little Secrets
Sometimes the Boys create a song. Then it leaks onto the internet. And then? Well we all get furious that it never gets released. (And ends up on my Media Archive instead) Hi, my name is Rose and I'm here to rant about how a song called "Trouble" was done so damn dirty. Because this … Continue reading The Tragedy of “Trouble” – Song Spotlight
Now I've talked about NSYNC and BSB's rivalry before. Mainly on this post about things that fans never forget. Because I know there's younger fans in this fandom, I'm going to give a quick summary of what it was like in the 90's. You see once upon a time, Backstreet Boys were born into the … Continue reading An OG Fan’s Thoughts On NSYNC and Backstreet In The Wave Of “BackSync”
