They just got back from heaven. Lauren and Jill not only had amazing seats at last night's Backstreet Boys concert at Compaq Center. As winners of a KRBE (104 FM) contest Sunday afternoon at Gallery Furniture, both girls were serenaded -- onstage -- by the BSB boys. . The girls beat out more than 40 contestants (including a few boys and one adult aunt of a BSB fan) for the title. Jill, a 15-year-old Taylor High School student, was initially declared the winner Sunday and interviewed on-air. However, after the contest ended, judges realized that Lauren, 17-year-old Westbury High School student, had the top tally. Her score sheet had been lost in the shuffle. Solution? Double the winners. Double the dreams come true. -- SHERRY THOMAS Comment on this item. Next Item: Fans express devotion to Backstreet Boys in many ways Prev Item: Backstreet love affair
