1. It was 1997... I heard "Quit Playing Games" on a radio station here in Panama City in Central America. Can you imagine? Then one day... I was at a music store and something caught my eye...there were 5 super handsome guys on a red cover album and it included 2 songs in Spanish! Awesome!! I couldn't believe it!! It was love at first sight and song!! Little did I know that those 5 talented guys will come in 2001 to my country!! And to make things more incredible I never thought I will meet them personally 10 years later and even cruise with them in the Bahamas!! God is perfect and has make my dreams come true!!

  2. The moment I became a Backstreet Boys fan.....

    I guess i just grew up with them. It was like pfff 96 or something. Around the time BSB became big in Germany and later on in the rest of Europe (you know, i'm from Belgium). Their songs came on to the radio and as a kid i just liked it. i remember that i even did a playback in a summercamp in '97 with the song 'Get Down'. Still got a picture of it.. hahaha damn, i was like 13 years old hahaha, Yeah good memories. My 12-year older brother already bought some albums and after a while he stopped buying them. But i asked to buy the greatest hits chapter one. I replayed it like a 100 times or something. I could sing all the songs.

    i kept playing the album from time to time, it helped to get relaxed a bit and i sang along everytime and then finally when i've heard like in march of 2005, the internet was still slow and stuff, but i've read it at school that there was gonna be a new song. The first time Incomplete came out, i've repeated it a like crazy! i wanted to know the text before i went home and it got into my head.

    But yeah i basically was a fan from the beginning. Now if i tell it to people, the think i'm a weirdo or gay.. hahah i don't care. BSB rules yow!! Keep it going. respect!!

  3. The year 1997. The song Everybody ( backstreets's back) (- original version, you know prior to always playing the song in the extended remix version). Age - 18. Saw it ( and Nick )for the first time on Video Hits Australia and have never looked back. To think if not for that song my life would've been completely different. Because of BSB ( and that song!) I have travelled the world chasing them, their memorabilia and their concerts. Now it's cruise time and the Love just keeps going!
    Thank you BSB!

  4. The moment I became a Backstreet Boys fan..... Thinking back I was about 5-6 years old, one Saturday morning I was watching TV Hits (an Australian music show that used to be on every Saturday morning). And "Quit playing games" came on from that moment I heard their beautiful voices I new my life was changed for the better. After that I remember recording every music video that was on TV (even if I had it recorded 100 times already), every award show attendance or performance, or constantly listening to the radio and taping every song that played or talk shows that they were on.

    The first album I ever got was backstreet boys self titled album and I would listen to it on repeat, and every time an album was released I would do the same thing.

    I have been a BSB fan for about 20 years and I have to say it has been an amazing ride, they have been there throughout all of my ups and downs, and I honestly don't know what I would do without there music.

    I wish my wonderfully beautiful boys Brian, Kevin, AJ, Nick and Howie a lifetime of health, love & happiness. Without y'all I wouldn't be the crazed fan I am today.

    One of your many biggest fans xoxoxo

  5. 1998, this is year!!

    Since then in love for BSB, i love soooooooooo much Nick!! haha

  6. I was on elementary school at the time on 1996.. We lived in a small village in Indonesia..which only had one television and all people came to that house to watch..I saw I'll never break Ur heart and goshhhh I think I am completely in love with Kevin..I told my mom, I'm gonna marry that guy..and that's Kevin.. My mom said U have to know and speak their language.. So, i learned English since that time..So, Kevin is the only reason why I have learned English. I grew up listening to BSB music. I am an English teacher now and somehow, I use BSB song to teach my students. I introduced BSB to them which used to hear One D, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift. I Want It That Way, Shape of My Heart are the songs I taught ..They love the song and they said where have they been?. Time goes, almost 20 years I become BSB fans and I am proud to be a BSB fan. I just want to meet them and take a picture and only one request I want to ask them..would U sing "Crawling Back To You" for me please???? #themostincrediblesongofBSB
    Love U guys from the past,now and more days to come..@Nonny_BSB

  7. You are real to me!!! And that's what I Love too! You show so much Love to your fans!

  8. That Moment when I heard the five singing at the First Time. It was- we've got it going on-! I became a fan and supporter. I felt in love with the personalities, the perfect harmony voices and the look! There like brothers or good old friends for me! I cry and laugh with them! I grew up with them. I have the same age as Nick and he became the first really crush to me! I respect the five and I'm glad that they make music over 20 year! I'm so Proud of them! And I'm proud to be a backstreet boys Fan! They became a big Part of my life! And I had and will have to Lucky and funny moments with them! Love u guys! You are real!????????

  9. Was March of '95, heard a song of theirs from a friend in Europe, over the phone. Instantly was curious. I received their tape Backstreet Boys (self-titled Europe) and was amazed, I loved every song. Most tapes you liked one to five favorites, but not every song. I loved it so much, it played everyday when I got home from High School. I had friends that lived in my neighborhood, they would make fun of me, they had no clue what was "going on" (backstreet reference), and then Quit Playin' Games came out on the radio here, where I live, and then everything just blew up. I graduated from High School also that year, and felt the rest of the world was just catching on around me. We all know what happened then with Millennium, and so forth, in U.S., and history was made.

    I have loved and enjoyed every song since. Lots and lots of songs, singles, unreleased, etc. Of course updating from tape, to cd, to ipod, to digital on the go.
    Fan through all the years, and during the years that the fandom died down a little, I was able to meet them. Great Guys!!
    I still have people from my past hear a BSB song, think of me, and give me a call to see what I am up to. It cracks me up, I won't hear from someone for years, and get a call out of the blue. Especially lately, with Kevin back in the game, and all the new hype.
    Fan For Life!! KTBSPA!!

    Thanks Backstreet Boys for all you have done through the years!

  10. I was 5 years old the first time I heard them on the radio with the song 'Everybody'. I loved them and it is an honor for me to remain his fan and still enjoy their songs and their voices after 18 years.
