I totally agree with what is said in this article. Personally i think its totally ridiculous to hear of fans that steal mail from the guys mailbox's and grass from their lawns. The guys need theie personal time and a place they can call their own without the fans taking stuff from it. Even at the hotels they go to they are mombed my fans that want to see them. I know how it is to love them so much and want to see them but this is taking it to far. I have made a oath to myself that i will never stalk them at a otel or at their home. I think that they need their privacy and i am doing my part to give it to them. All you rapid fans should do the same if you really love them. Have a great day.

(yeah U! the one reading this letter!) Although i am only 15 years old; i have grown to realize (last year) as i have grown as a fan, that BSB have gone thru tough times just as many of us have. The ONLY difference is that their problems may affect their career, as well as be emphysized in mags, on the news, and as the media searches for more dirt and juicy gossip on celebs. In all their hard work, few moments of free time, and journey to stardom (or have they already reached it?), they've never forgotten to thank the people who've helped them reach the top....including God. The crew, the choreographer, the directors, the fans...and YES, evem the competition. Nick Carter has even shown us how mature he's grown to be when he thanked todays generation of pop such as Britney Spears and N'Sync. Even Howie ADMITTED that altho Lou Pearlman (errrr!) scammed them and decieved BSB (awww!), they wouldn't be here today without his role in their loves. I know for a fact that many people who may have been placed in their situation would have broken down in the pressure, the stress, the knowlegde that u will never be a private citizen EVER again. Backstreet Boy's 7 year journey shows us how strong they are/were to stay together this long even tho they went thru MANY hard times. I'm not surprised but PROUD to see that even when they had urges to break up or set aside this 24 hour job, they took in consideration how it would affect eachother and the fans. Its all for one, and one for all. And that's truely keeping the Backstreet Pride Alive!

I never really let this all out before and you pretty much summed it up and I am glad someone said something because I have been feeling the same exact way! So good for you and way to go! Glad there are other people like me out there who share the same feelings!

I also think about the subject and it really is a lot of work to be a BSB. people in my class are constantly dissing them and saying that they have millions and millions of $ and they don't care about the fans, but I always stick up for the guys and am sure to say Thank You! at the end of all my letters to them Thanks again!!

N.H. USA Date: Tue Jan 4 20:41:46 2000 I totally agree. Now, I'm a huge fan, no doubt about it. But, as lucky as I think they are for being able to live their dreams, I also almost pity them. They have almost no remainder of a normal life. They always have to wonder about the new people they meet..are they there just because he's a BSB or could they REALLY care less? Their loss of privacy has got to be frustrating,too. And the whole part she wrote about Larger Than Life; amen. When did some people forget morals and manners? As much as we may love these five guys, we need to remember not to put them on a pedestal and make them out to be gods. They may not be able to live up to this, and you'll be disappointed. And always remember that they are only human, and they are not perfect, and they do make mistakes. And as for Alex, Howie, Brian, Kevin, and Nick, if they ever, by some odd twist of fate read this: Thank You. God bless..Mandy Submitted by Amber L from Red Deer Alberta Canada Date: Tue Jan 4 20:40:42 2000 I totally agree with Lori, and I'm glad I'm not the only one to see things towards the Backstreet point of view. I'm not saying that I've never held signs like "I LOVE YOU NICK!"... lol.. Cause I have.. But I've kinda growin' out of that, this passed year, matured a little, and looked at there point of view.. From what I see it is very hard being a backstreet boy, and I commend them on all they have done, and will do in the future..Lori is right.. Thank you guys! Submitted by kelly from nj usa Date: Tue Jan 4 20:39:19 2000 i agree with this article i think that the guys lives are very hard and crazey. as their fans who received a song just for us and who have been called larger then life we need to support them and respect them as people. i know you think im crazey im mean i guess if i had the chance to meet a.j i would go crazey to after all just look at him. but if we really love them as much as we say we do and i really do love a.j we need to step back and when we do get that once in a life time chance to meet them we need to act like humans and not like wild animals going in for the kill. i know many of you are going to complain about my comment but its true really take the time to think about them and what they need out of their lives. they need their quite time and they need to have relationships with people as much as it kills us ( i know i always hope that ill be that one for a.j) but really theyre not just 5 hot guys who are so talented and there to spend their time just for us they are also humans who deserve lives of their own ( everyone can say they really earned it). so before you go crazy storm their house and run them down step back and think how your life would be if you had to deal with that 24/7. Submitted by rainey smith from toronto canada Date: Tue Jan 4 20:38:07 2000 I think that another way that we can show appreciation to the BSB is that we can send fan mail to them but not to much.Maybe we can draw pictures to them of ourselfs so they can see their fans that can't afford t o buy tickets to their shows. sincerely Rainey Smith........P.S BSB your doing a great job.
