Reasons I’m thankful for BSB. They are the soundtrack of my childhood and their music brings me back to those moments growing up! I love how you can hear a song and instantly you are 13 again and back in that moment, I’m thankful their music can do that for me.
I’m also thankful for the incredible friendship I found because of BSB. One of my former co-workers and I have become great travel buddies all because of BSB. We share a mutual love for the boys and have traveled many times to see them, and meet them! Without them and their music we would have never started this tradition!
I am lastly thankful that BSB still makes amazing new music and continues to tour, because more people need to experience the greatness that is BSB!! They are the best!

With no computers or internet, I first found them through MTV and radio stations in Bangladesh. It was around 1995/1996 and I was in grade 3 and listened to their music through cassettes. I used to ask my friends who lived in Singapore/Malaysia to get magazines and posters. My dad would get CDs from his Europe trips. BSB brings me the fondest of memories, but that is NOT WHY I am thankful.
I am thankful to them because their music helped me get through some of the darkest moments of my life. It helped me through severe depression, which is a frowned upon issue in Bangladesh and no one takes mental health seriously so you kinda have to help yourself. I cannot explain how much listening to their music helped me. Even to this day I tear up when I think of those times. I am a practicing Muslim, who never forgets to say a little prayer for the BSB every day. And I only take my time to pray for those that I truly care. The kind of impact they have made in my life cannot be explained with words.

The Backstreet Boys came into my family's life back in 2001. I lost both my Grandfather & Father-in-law on the same day in March of 2001. I turned to BSB music to help me cope with the loss of my loved ones. My daughter's were 6 & 9 years old and very close to both since we lived with my father-in-law and took care of him until the end of his life. I joined the BSB Fanclub in 2001 and met 2 of my closest friends Sheena from Indiana & Libby from North Carolina to this day we are still great friends and go to shows together!(We are meeting in Pittsburgh 2019) I am in Ohio .As I was trying to deal with my loss my friend Libby was going thru a divorce! I am thankful for BSB giving me my Best friends!!! Thank you & God Bless you all! Terri

Without exaggeration, I wouldn’t be the person I am now, wouldn’t be surrounded by the people I am and, most importantly, I wouldn’t have influenced so many lives myself if it wasn’t for Backstreet Boys!
I was born in a very small town in Ukraine and my teenage years were spent with no Internet or a computer. Hearing Backstreet Boys’ songs on TV I was obsessed with them and used to record them on video or audio cassettes. Needless to say, magazine cutouts and posters made the best wallpaper in my room and I belonged to as many fan clubs as possible, exchanging letters with other fans.
However, the most profound effect Backstreet Boys have made on me was the decision to learn English in order to understand their songs and write fan letters to them repeatedly (especially Nick, my teenage crush!), which, of course, never reached them and to my disappointment always came back.
In a nutshell, later on, asked by my parents what I wanted to do with my life after school, without a shadow of a doubt, I replied that I wanted to learn English. So, I moved to a bigger city, became an English teacher and helped to set up a language school. Having worked in this field for almost 12 years now, I have hundreds of happy and satisfied students, some of which even work or study in the USA!
Teaching others became my life mission and I'm absolutely loving it! All my closest friends and my fiancé came into my life through the school and due to my knowledge of English. And I can’t even imagine what I would be doing now if Backstreet Boys hadn’t inspired me as a teen!
So, grateful to you for inspiration, Boys, and giving me the start of an amazing life I’m living now with all the amazing people in it!
(Hope this time, almost 18 years later, my “letter” with finally reach you :)

I am thankful for the Backstreet Boys because they help to bring my family and I some happiness and "normalcy" and they help take me back to a time when life was more "normal". I am caregiver to my permanently disabled, quadriplegic husband and I am the main one raising our 3 boys these past 19 years and back then, on the 2nd August, 1999, my husband was in a near-fatal motorcycle crash and at that time, our boys were; 4 years old, 2 years old and our newborn was 3 months old and I had to take on looking after my husband 24/7, plus our 2 toddler's and newborn. The driver that cut off my husband on the freeway, fled the scene and was never caught. Our boys are older now but I am still caregiver and our lives are not the same anymore since the crash. I was told that my husband would be just like Christopher Reeve the rest of his life and would never walk again. (he is walking but has one leg shorter than the other now and can't get by one day without his medicines. Kevin had 6 operations to survive and died twice on the operating table and his crash was so traumatic, not just for him, but for me a lot, and it has also affected our 3 boys really. It's been a massive struggle all these years but we are still here and life goes on, but the Backstreet Boys do help to bring us some happiness and some "normalcy" in their music. p.s. I have managed to buy 2 tickets to see the Backstreet Boys for August 3rd, 2019 but we can't afford to meet them though. I really deeply wish we could meet them, (my youngest son, Saburo and I), but we will be there in the audience to support them. I think if we could meet them then that would be so special for us but they are much too costly for a meet and greet. I have always been a big fan of theirs since they first started and I always will be a huge fan, even though I am one of their older fans.
with best wishes,
Carol Compton

The confidence, lifelong friendships, determination! As a 12 year old kid I used to record all the videos and interviews to later sit in front of the TV with a dictionary, trying to understand what they were singing/talking about. Because of that I was able to learn English well enough to communicate with a friend who has become the love of my life, and husband :) And this is why am I thankful for BSB...I wouldn't be where I am in life if not them!!!

I am thankful to the guys because they are amazing examples of what men can be. They have risen from the ashes of addictions, family loss, adversities, the music business and their ability to control, and so much more. In a world that can you can easily be lost in, they have known who they are, and have fought through and have come out on the other side of it all, renewed. So proud of you guys.

Sometimes is not necessary to use words for describe an emotion, just listen to your favourite music and fly away...this is what happen to me when I listen to the boys voices. Past, present and future...this is the music I like, this is what makes me happy...now and forever...Backstreet in my heart... kisses from Italy . Alessandra

Growing up, my family didn't have a lot of money. I learned at a young age that I would need to pay my own way. When I was about 10 years old, I started earning money by cleaning my neighbours house. Every time I was there, she would let me listen to whatever I wanted on her beautiful CD Player.... so of course, I would BLAST Backstreet Boys for the entire day. I became a huge fan, even before BSB became majorly popular in North America. As a teenager, I desperately wanted to attend one of their concerts but couldn't afford to spend the money since I was saving for my university tuition. Fast forward to my 34th birthday - my husband bought me VIP BSB Tickets for the Las Vegas show. It was absolutely one of the best nights of my life. Though I didn't get to meet them personally, I DID get a handshake from AJ as he walked past me. My husband captured it on camera and it makes me smile every time. At the end of the day, BSB was in the background as I worked hard to pay my way and I was able to get to a point in my life where I can now afford to attend their concerts!

I'm so thankful for BSB because they were part of my adolescence and now they are part of my adult life. I shared my adolescence with 4 cousins and I remember when we used to listen to Backstreet's song. Unfortunately, one of these girls has passed away, she was only 14, but I still remember her listening to her favourite song: As Long As You Love Me. Time has passed, I'm 34 now, but I never forget how happy those times were. I really hope that one day, I will be at a Backstreet's concert!
