a tribute

jus had the most wonderful night of my life.. the backstreet boys concert was worth every cent and sacrifice.. seeing them in person and performing all my favourite songs live was great.. i kinda just expected them to sit around and perform their ballads.. but no! they actually danced to the fast songs and did all those cheesy moves that made us love them so much in the past.. listening to my old favourites like I'll Never Break Your Heart, Backstreet's Back and so on.. i kinda rem how mad i was over them.. (i still am!!)

it all started in pri 5.. when my frens introduced bsb to me.. being the really typical useless shallow girl.. i fell in love with Nick Carter.. the one who couldn't sing, has a weird voice and a flabby body.. (nothing's changed after 9 years.. maybe he's jus fatter.. :P) but no.. he had the blonde floppy hair and blue eyes.. that was enough for me.. even my parents knew who he was! hehe.. i loved all their songs.. i bought all the CDs they ever released.. (i even bought two copies cos they gave different free goodies!) i could also memorise the lyrics of almost every song! i did loads of internet research on them.. i knew when's nick carter's birthday, his fav foods, his fav girl (whom became my most hated person), his fav colour and so on.. i also printed out loads of pictures and filed them all up.. i also watched local variety shows like showbuzz and CAN to watch out for the latest bsb tv news, interviews and mtvs! (i din have scv then lah..) i also started buying all the british pop magazines available.. spending up to $20 each time.. i bought smash hits, top of the pops, tv hits, and one more which i can't rem the title.. like the pictures i printed from the internet.. i filed all the articles and pictures in the magazines that featured bsb.. (throwing away those files when i moved house last year was one of the most painful thing i've ever done in my life..) from these magazines.. i got to know and love many other boybands.. N SYNC, 5IVE, 98 degrees, Take 5 (eeks), Code Red, 911 and many more.. hehe.. yea i was a typical boyband supporter.. but Backstreet Boys were the only ones that lasted and remained as the my no. 1 favourite band..

sad to say.. as i grew older.. pop no longer became as popular as they were before.. BSB started releasing fewer singles.. and suddenly.. they disappeared for 5 years.. but suddenly they came up with a new album and when i heard last year that they were coming to SINGAPORE to hold a one-night concert.. i went MAD! cos bsb had been in singapore before i supported them.. so i've finally waited for this (yester)day to come! 9 long years.. and it was all over in 2 hours.. the concert was so brilliant that the 2 hours flew past so quickly.. i was screaming on top of my lungs and jumping abt super excitedly when they danced to the fast numbers and waas gushing with cheryl during the ballads.. sigh.. what wonderful memories.. the thought that i will nvr see them perform like that live ever again makes me feel really sad.. i really dun think they will come back to singapore in the near future and when they do.. they will be too old to perform like that.. sigh.. :'(

thought i paid rather ex tickets.. my camera was still not good enuff to take nice close up pics.. so here's jus some fotos of the concert..

NICK!!!

AJ's singing

kevin playing the piano..

ladies and gentlemen.. here are the 5 most impt men in my life (after my family, frens and relatives.. haha..)

Kevin. The man of the band. The mature one with the oh-so-sexy deep voice.

Howie D. The smooth latino-looking hunk. Has one of the greatest bod in the world.

AJ. The bad boy. The funky one with a soulful voice. The one every girl dreams of bringing home but is a mum's nightmare.

Brian. The sweetest and goofiest guy ever. His voice melts hearts and he's one of the near-perfect man God has ever created. He's grounded, he loves God and has a voice of an angel.

Nick. The baby. or should we now say the FAT one. USED to be good-looking and was the love of my life. Despite his changes (for the worse), he'll always have a place in my heart.


together.. they make up the band i love most:

THE BACKSTREET BOYS
