I am thankful for the Backstreet Boys for giving my life light during a time of darkness. I was diagnosed with Lupus at the age of 22 and then I had broken up with my long time boyfriend of 10 years. I felt like my world was crumbling down and then one day while I was driving through HWY 83 I started playing my music and “the answer to our life” song from the black and blue album came on. I cried so much and realized it’s up to me to fix my destiny. I was pushed down but not defeated and it was up to me to pick up the pieces. I’ve always been a big fan of the Backstreet Boys growing up but I realized that their music is written for many purposes and one of them was to give light to people like it did to my life. After growing up with them and wanting to see them in concert for many many years I am finally excited to say I will being seeing them for the first time Aug 31, 2018 in Houston!! Yay! Even if I don’t win this contest I hope you guys know that your music really does heal people.

I'm thankful to the BSB becuase I've matured and learned about a lot of things at the same time they matured with their music. Thanks to never gone I've entered college with an open mind with the mindset that life is not really a fairy tale, specially in relationships and love. As you got older I also did and when you have a band that it's with you from the conflicting teenage years and get older beside you, have their ups and downs like any human being, face those problems and then decide your own next steps. Is not easy at all. Thank you guys for showing that sticking together believing in what you do, and not taking your lives for granted you showed fans to be the same. I hadn't seen any of your concerts since the last time you cane to Puerto Rico, but I'm going to Chicago just for you LOL

I'm thankful for BSB for all the memories made with my niece bonding over their music and attending concerts together. I'm also thankful for the happiness their music brings me!

I am thankful for these men because i have been listening to them since i was a little girl i am talking 5 years old. When i am mad or sad or just need to relax i pop on BSB.

Backstreet boys music brings so much happiness to my life and i am so thankful that i am able to have their music available to me. I hope that younger generations are able to find the happiness that us older people do with their music.

I am so thankful to the boys for bringing me the best friends I could ever wish for. Their music has helped me through so many ups and downs in my life.
I’ve been a fan since they first started bringing their music into the world and have been lucky enough to have met them a couple of times.

The most wonderful time was when they were recording the ‘In A World Like This’ album in London where I live. Q was still with us and he was so lovely to everybody! He even managed to get the guys to do some group pictures with the fans.

The last time I’ve seen them was this October here in London when they were recording Loose Women. I was lucky enough to be able to be at that recording and it was amazing!

Can’t wait to see them again on tour next year!
