I have been a Backstreet Boys fan since I was 10 years old. The self titled cd was indeed the first cd I ever owned. I used to hang my kareoke machine microphones from my ceiling fan and sing and pretend that I was Nick recording a song. My best friend and I would do recordings and sing our hearts out.

I had always ALWAYS wanted to go to a concert but my mom wouldn’t allow it. I finally scored my first tickets when I was 19. As luck would have it, my grandfather passed away so I had to be with family during that time. The second time I got tickets, I had graduated college and at my interview for my first CAREER job, they said “ok so you start on Wednesday...” WHAT!? Nooooo I have a concert, man! My heart was broken.

So fast forward to almost 10-12 years later ( I am now 30) my dream finally came true. All of their songs hit me so hard and I continued to keep up with all the new cd releases and learning all the harmonies to the songs.

Well, last year I got into a car accident and shattered my leg. I actually came out of my surgery saying” I think I can see the Backstreet Boys in Vegas now” haha. The car accident wasn’t my fault and I knew I would be looking at some sort of a payout. After a grueling year of physical therapy, learning how to walk, and two surgeries along with self esteem issues, I am happy to say I can walk and my perseverance was all dedicated to the fact that I wanted to get to Vegas and I knew I had to get through all the hard stuff to make that happen.

Once I met them, literally like 3 weeks ago, I felt like that was my time. The reason all the other times didn’t work out is because THAT was how I was meant to meet them. I’m so grateful for your music and helping me get through my dark and giving me light at the end of the tunnel. It means more than anything to me and when I think about my journey, it moves me to tears. I thank all the guys for being so genuine and understanding how emotional I was. A little girls dream was made at 30 years old and I can honestly tell you that it was the best concert and top moment of my life. I will never forget it and will be right there again for the World Tour when they come to Milwaukee, WI.

Your dearest fan,
Ashli V.

Hi, I’m Carla! I’m 32 and a 6th grade teacher. I’m a BSB fan for life and have the band to thank for making my life fun! My little sister and my best friend are the other two members of our DC BSB trio. We’ve been going to BSB shows since my little sister was in elementary school and my friend and I were in middle school. BSB provided the soundtrack to my youth and have added magic to two of my most important life-long relationships. Additionally, I get to play BSB for my current students (all girls school) and we have homeroom jam sessions. They laugh at me for having been so boy crazy (I tell them stories). Thanks for being a great band and I hope to see you on your tour! XO

Hi my name is Kaitlyn and I was raised a backstreet boys fan. I was born January 1993 and my parents played the backstreet boys music for me. My childhood memories were going to the skating rink and skating to the backstreet boys. I also remember having hundreds of posters on my walls of you guys in my bedroom. In gym class our schools would teach us how to dance!! Today I am 25 years old (a quarter century year old), I have a almost 3 year old son named Jacob (02/27/16). Jacob is the biggest fan for being only 2 years old. I have sent you many videos and pics of Jacob singing and dancing along to your songs "larger than life" "Just want you to know" I want it that way", being a single mom to a special needs toddler is not easy but your music has helped Jacob learn how to talk. Backstreet Boys is huge part of our lives. We are from Omaha Nebraska and I hope to one day officially meet you guys. I have had the pleasure to come see your concerts with my parents 5 times Kansas City, St Louis, Orlando, Omaha, Vegas. My parents buy me tickets for my birthday and Brian seems to always remember its my birthday or around it!! I have a ticket to see you guys next year in Vegas but no meet and greet passes. I have missed my meet and greets 3 times. I did have the pleasure to meet Howie at the Howard Sign in Omaha back in 2014. Also back when you guys came to Omaha NE I had my first drink there and snuck into your mens restroom. I see you guys are coming back to Omaha next year and I would love to see you guys. I hope that you read my story on here. Maybe you guys have seen some of my videos and pics also? With all love and respect Kaitlyn Dudley & Jacob age 2

I've been a fan of the backstreet boys before I was even 10 years old. They are my favorite boyband/group of all time. Their music has gotten me through so much over the years. 25 years of classic songs, talent and a chemistry in a band that has been in no other group ever. It's hard to even write out everything I feel into words, but I will end with Brian, Nick, Kevin, AJ &Howie thank you so nuch. Thank you.

I am thankful for BSB because their music has gotten me through some difficult times. It has brought many memories of joy and great adventures as my mother and I attend all concerts together. One experience providesd me with the name of my daughter, Prudence. I was inspired by Brians’s son Bailey and his friend Prudence playing in the Palace of Arburn Hills parking lot. Leighanne and Pru’s mom charged with my mother and I for quite some time. It was a wonderful experience. My little Prudence is now 8 months old and currently asleep on my chest ????

I'm thankful for BSB because they gave me one of my best friends, great music for most of my life, and a great song that I walked down the aisle to at my wedding.

i am thankful for BSB. i have been a fan since i was about 8/9 years old. I am 29.5 years old now and have been a loyal fan. their music brings me comfort. seeing them brings me back to my 8/9 year old days. i see them (whether in person or on tv or anywhere) and i just feel so happy. 8/9 year old me would have never thought that i would meet them at the age of 25 in Mountain View, CA, which i totally missed an opportunity to have them help me announce my pregnancy. Ive laughed and cried with them at every cruise and concert ive been at. they totally make me feel like a little girl with a HUGE crush. BSB has brought me closer to many friends. Finding out that my NEW coworkers at the time were huge fans had us bonding in vegas for the larger than life tour! the first of many trips. The cruises and concerts had me reconnected with an old friend from high school. having BSB in common is just one more thing that brought us back together. My boyfriend.. he loves them because of me and agrees to only go to bsb concerts, no other boybands. And now, our daughter can recognize Nick and Brian (still working on the other three). and sings to "dont go breaking my heart" and "i want it that way." my daughter is now 4 years old. I was also able to bring my mom to a larger than life show. I caught her sneaking in videos. and she got sing and dance with Howie during AIHTG. BSB has been a part of pretty ALL MY LIFE. and im happy i am now able to share it with new found friends, old friends, mother, boyfriend, and daughter =) i cant ever imagine a life without bsb.

Why am I thankful for BSB? Well, it started back in 1995 when every time my dad was out to sea your music would bring us together whether it was jamming to all of your CDs on long car rides to drop him off at his ship or just dancing on the coffee table to your music videos. I remember thinking 8pm was late and I would stay up just to wait for your music video to be released. When ever I was able to talk to my dad when he was stationed else where we would talk non stop about your music. In September 2001 my parents bought me third row tickets to see your concert and well sadly it was cancelled due to fear in our world. The thing that brought my family and I together was your music. I tell you everyday your music makes my parents and I feel like we can laugh and smile through all of the hard times. No I have never seen you guys in concert but that doesn’t mean I am not thankful for every lyric, every dance move and well everything. Thank you for getting me through everyday my dad was away and well making me feel more connected to him. I tell you it has not been easy since he has retired but I’m proud of him and well I’m thankful for you continuing to create music to bring us together. Thank you for well being you.

Ok well.... Why I am thankful for BSB????? WOW where should I begin? I've been a fan for almost 22 years now. I first listened to the boys on the TV while living in Cuba at the age of 14. I felt in love IMMEDIATELY. I just can't put into word what they meant to me. They made me cry, smiled, screamed, sang, but most of all they made me dream, dreamed of being able to meet them one day, specially living in a country like Cuba. I was lucky enough to meet Kevin and Howie in Cuba back in 2002, then Nick on 2014 but I am still missing AJ, who's birthday is one day after mine by the way, and Brian. I know I will accomplished my dream, I've been always there, learned English just to be able to sing and understand each word of the BSB songs, I've cried with them when they've been through difficult times, and I've laugh with them through the good times. I've always keep the BS pride alive and always be. Fan for live. See you guys soon in the DNA tour and I am hopping to be able to afford a VIP ticket. I LOVE YOU GUYS AND I ALWAYS WILL
