I'm thankful for BSB as if it weren't for them I would never have met my best friend who lives in Arizona. Because of BSB I met tons of great people whom I'm still friends with today. If I weren't a Backstreet Boys fan I never would have met the majority of my friends or been to different cities. They make me smile. I'm also thankful their music is still around for me to enjoy after all these years. They're "the calm when my world is crashing."

I thankful for BSB because if I didn't become fan of them, I never learned English so much.
When I became fan of them,there is no Youtube thing,I couldn't watch all of their video from Japan.
Even if I could watch them I couldn't understand really well what they talked .
I just wanna understand their interviews by myself, it was huge motivation for me.
And it turned into "I wanna talk with them in my English" one day.

It made BSB friends from whole world even when my English skills were not good enough,
many BSB fan friends helped me to learn English,
and I traveled to overseas for concert of BSB and Nick's event a lot.
I changed completely than before I became fan of BSB.
I really thankful them for making my world spread to the worlde,
if I never met them I might stuck my whole life in small country, Japan.

And another thing, they gave me chances my dream to come true.
They always carefully listened to me and tried to understand my English.
I thankful they made my dream came true, and I thankful...changed my life!

I am thankful for BSB because they've been with me for a LONG time!! I became a fan in 1997 when I was 12. I met a good friend who had just moved to the US from Canada where you guys were gaining fame. She showed me one of your VHS tapes and I was hooked!! I was one of the girls that would continue to call the radio station to request "Quit Playing Games With My Heart" and as soon as it was over, I'd have my friend call to request it again!! (That way they had no idea it was really me again right?! haha) My first concert was in Vegas 1998 and another in Vegas a few years later when I was in highschool.

I'm personally thankful for Nick because well he was my first celebrity crush and (is still) gorgeous and oh boy that voice! I still can recognize his voice anywhere. When I first heard "God, Your Mama, & Me" (i love country too!) I kept hearing Nick's solo wondering what he was doing singing country. I figured it must be someone who sounds just like Nick, because he doesn't sing country. After the 3rd time I finally found it on youtube to see that all the Backstreet Boys were singing along with Florida Georgia Line, dream come true!! My favorite band collaborating with one of my favorite genres! :)

My sisters and I booked tickets to one of your first shows in Vegas, March 2017 before they even went on sale to the public, we finally had a good reason for a sister reunion!! We all grew up in love with the Backstreet Boys in Vegas of all places; our current ages are: 30, 32, 33, 34 and we are four of your biggest fans! We still have the 3" binders with sheet protectors from every teen magazine we could get our hands on. My older sister used to even sneak her allowance money to her friend to buy magazines when our parents decided we were obsessing a "little" too much with the Backstreet Boys!!

Needless to say, I'm one of your biggest fans! After our sister reunion March 2017, I went back October 2017 for the Meet & Greet. I'm going again next weekend before your residency quickly comes to an end and I CANNOT wait!! I couldn't think of a good reason to go to my hometown to visit until you announced your residency. Hopefully you go on tour and stop in Colorado (my current home) next year!

I cannot get enough of BSB and CANNOT wait to see what the future holds for you guys, love you all!!

I’m thankful for the Backstreet Boys, because all adventures revolving around them bring me joy! I’m thankful that they’re still around making it possible for us fans, who haven’t met them yet, to actually live out that dream! Making great music and continuing to tour the world (hopefully soon). I’ve made a bunch of new friends because of them, and they’re like a window to happiness, when my head needs a break from everyday adulting!

I have faced many changes in the past year, Moving from Washington, D.C. where I lived for 30 years of my life North Carolina was very hard. I’m Autistic and change is harder to face than it is for others. My mom getting diagnosed with ovarian cancer really made my world crash. I’m so thankful I got to cruise with BSB this year to just have fun and forget about the stuff I felt with. Their music has been a lifesaver for me. I love them for the small things and the big things they do.
