If u r reading this (fan) and u dont realize that being a backstreet boy its not easy ; its hard...and that some of us (fans) make that even worse sometimes with our desrespect, then u should seat down a min. and think about all the times that they have spent for US ....and sometimes we just cant resist them when we see them and we have to go and hugh them and interrupt their free time..( except for me 'cause they cant come on tour to my country ...the only thing i can do is seat down and look at MTV's shows , dream and go online...).hey!!!!think for a minute...would u like to sleep 3 hours and then wake up for a photo shoot or for a show or conference...?? its not funny...but what do our boys do?? they let u scream when u see them , rub them , please a picture!!! , or can i kis u?? they give it to u... I have all of this things in my mind about this that i dont know how to express cause my english isnt perfect but ...comon girls lets respect them...and thank them for being so patient , affectionate and for loving us so much... Do u think u could feel confortable or in a good mood if u had not seen ur mom for weeks , or if u couldnt rub ur boyfriend/girlfriend in months , or if u just slept for 4 hours....i dont know u all but i could not feel good like that...the good thing about all this is that they love us and what they do....but lets not take advantage of their love and patience..... i was wondering if i could be a member.?...i guess not right.....since im 16.... well i hope u all think about this...and reflect about what being a Backstreet Boy is,...in fact u should read the article "sometimes we just wanna be alone"im not sure if its here..or if its in mtv.com....well see ya all... love and BSB... Nati Submitted by Kristin Carter from Willingboro NJ USA Date: Fri Jan 7 23:21:09 2000 Hi, I'm just writing to thank the women who wrote the article and also the fans who agree with what she wrote or at least took a minute to reevaluate what it means to be a true fan. When I went to the BSB's concert on Sept. 29th. I planned to have a huge sign that said THANK YOU. But the arena wouldn't allow signs inside so I couldn't have it. I still feel that the guys realize that there are alot more good fans than bad. And as many of you have said before I agree that people really shouldn't disrespect the guys by insulting their girlfriends. Truthfully, if I was ever to yell anything at Brian's girlfriend it would probably "thankyou" or something along those lines. No I'm not thanking her for being his girlfriend! Leighanne is my role model believe it or not because she is an actress, and it is my dream to become an actress. She inspires me not to give up because although she isn't famous yet and has only had small roles, she hasn't given up. Don't you think Brian and the rest of the guys would a lot more proud of their fans if they knew that they respected their girlfriends because of who they are. Instead of insulting them just because of who they are with. So I just want to encourage more people teens and adults alike to be real fans, that the guys wouldn't mind having a conversation with or signing an autograph for. Instead of giving them the impression that all their fans are just hormonal teens who think they're in love with them, they should be able to see more of the fans who's lives they have mad a real difference in. Submitted by Emily from Hilliard OH USA Date: Fri Jan 7 22:50:33 2000 I read this article and it put things in a new light for me I am 13 years old and in love (or i used to think)with Kevin Richardson .For christmas I got an autographed picture from him (off ebay) if I ever see him or meet him (I seriously doubt that will happen) I would like to give it back to him and say "I'm sorry. Sorry for taking away thoose few pretious seconds of your spare time and I would like to Thank You for everything you do for me and all your other fans so thank you" -Emily Submitted by Deanna from Granby MA USA Date: Fri Jan 7 22:28:57 2000 I totally agree with everything that Lori said. I'm an older fan as well, 30, but I remember what it was like to be a teen-ager and in love with an idol. I would NEVER disrespect them, though. If fans truly love them as they say they do, give them the respect and privacy that they deserve, we all deserve. I would love to thank the fellas for giving me some of the most enjoyable, dance around my house like a maniac singing my heart out music that I've ever experienced. Thanks, guys! Peace out.

Canada Date: Fri Jan 7 21:43:13 2000 I agree with most of what you said,don't yell things at their girlfriends, saying you hate them.They have girl friends,they love them,deal with it.'Cause trust me, Brian (or any of them)defenatly isn't gonna like you too much when he finds out you've said some not so nice things 'bout the women he loves. Don't break into their hotel rooms or steal their things. Personaly I'd be very freaked if I found out someone had stolen my underwear and trust me Nick(or whoever) will be too. But in my opinion,feel free to ask for an autograph.I mean have you ever seen an interview,press conference, whatever, where they haven't said they're more than happy to sign autographs,they're so flattered people ask them,blah,blah. And say you love them if you want.Of course you love them look at all they've done for us, & let's face it,they've done it well.So basically just respect their rights, privacy & feelings trust me, they deserve it.But remember the song goes"...and that makes you larger than li Submitted by Andrea from Dallas Texas USA Date: Fri Jan 7 20:14:00 2000 Thank you for writing this article that from the replys that I have read everyone agrees to what you said or mentioned in your article. I got tired just by reading all of the things that you had listed as to what the boys do in their everyday lives. I have thought about this many times and just keep on asking myself how do they do it? They are amazing and talented and need to be respected and treated normally. I mean who wouldn't just like to meet and greet and see those cuties up close and personal but there are limits. Once again thank you for the article that I also hope the BSB themsleves will read one of these days for themselves. K.T.B.S.B.P.A. HUGS & KISSES TO BROK =) Submitted by Julie from ames Iowa Usa Date: Fri Jan 7 19:45:11 2000 I totally agree! I heared a story where a girl tried to get brian's cross neckless and she ended up ripping deep cuts in his chest! I don't know if this is true but I wouldn't doubt it! I really don't like it when people say all this mean stuff about their girlfriends! I'm not saying I wasn't a little heart broken when my best friend told me brian had a girl friend! but if she loves him for who he is inside and isn't just after a backstreet boy or money than I am extreamly happy for him and he should have all our support and love! I hope what this article says will affect people so they will start treating the backstreet boys like humans and not be so phsycho about it!!!! bubye!!!! K.T.B.S.P.A!!!!!!!!! Submitted by Debora from Rio de Janeiro RJ Brazil Date: Fri Jan 7 19:38:40 2000 I don't have much to say, but one thing is right: I completely agree with this! I know I'll probably never meet any of them, but if one day this happen (nothing is impossible), I would treat them like normal people. Because they are! They sing because they love to sing. They dance because they love to dance. Not because they'll be treaten like gods! I like to sing myself, and I would have a band if I could; but that doens't mean I want to make it big! That means I like it... I hope that everybody who's reading this think the same way... Kisses, Debora Submitted by Laura from ... Ontario Canada Date: Fri Jan 7 18:48:21 2000 I fully agree with this. I've tried for so long to make people see that they're just five guys who sing, and they fortunatly have got good looks. They're human beings with talent. Talent that they want to share with the world. We should just cheer them on and support them, repect them and if we get the chance, to say "Thanks" to them. I'm with Lori on the "Larger Than Life" bit. Are we really larger than life for stealing from and hurting them? I think not. And who would be so desperate and immature to "steal" a few blades of grass from Nick's lawn? I mean, come on. They're just people. Everyday people like you and me. They just have a talent that they wish to share with others. And I think that they deserve respect and privacy. Thank you, Backstreet Boys. YOU are the ones who are Larger Than Life. Not us.
