The summer of 1995 was my first encounter with
the phenomenom that is the Backstreet Boys. We've
Got It Going on was re-released in the UK and
went in straight at number 10 in the charts. That
summer my friends and I were just ten years old;
care free and happy. We'd let go of the barbie
dolls but we were still little kids ; we'd bike
around the street , slobbering icecream with our
dogs and on our ghetto blaster, dance to the
summer sounds. By the time their album came out
later that year, my friends and I were hooked. We
realized that they weren't just another "boyband"
as they were constantly classified by the
magazines. They were five guys who were not
manufactured, wanted and could really sing and
were working very hard to be recognised. It took
them a few years to get what they deserved in the
US but places like Europe and Malaysia where the
music is much more varied and a lot more of it is
welcome and inhibits the charts, they won the
hearts of everyone. The incredible effect that
they have had on my life and indeed, BSB fans
alike, is amazing and something wonderful that I
would want to share with everyone. Everytime I'm
down, they can make it right.Their influence is
truly Larger Than Life. And when I will look back
on my life, I will know that summer of 1995 was
very special to me because the Backstreet Boys
entered our lives to sing, to entertain and tomake us all very, very happy.
