So, the other weekend one of my local radio stations was having a 90’s flashback weekend and playing all music, you guessed it, from the 90’s. Among those songs played were a few Backstreet Boys songs…and I couldn’t help but feel a bit nostalgic. Tonight I felt like living in the nostalgia for a moment and randomly sharing one of their songs. I’m a child of the 90’s and BSB was a HUGE part of my childhood and early/mid teen years. I was the obsessive fangirl back in the day who had her school binder plastered with various pictures of them, who listened to their music every day. (And very loudly might I add.) My bedroom walls? You don’t wanna know. Oh, and I also had my first fangirl celebrity crush on one of the members. Because, you know, EVERY boy band fanatic of the 90’s had their favorite band and then their favorite member of said band. Me? I was (and still am in all honesty) a 100%, unashamed A.J. gal.
(So damn good looking! Still is in my opinion. And, I actually had that exact picture on my wall back in the day.)
I got their first CD as a Christmas present from my Aunt, I think I was 10 or 11 at the time. I’m 26 now, and will openly and unashamedly admit that…
- I still have all of their CD’s
- I still, for the most part, know the lyrics to every song
- Somewhere, amidst storage bins of other things I saved from childhood, is my DVD of their Black & Blue tour, and all their music videos
- A.J. is still my favorite
- I would still go see them in concert if they came here
- I would still absolutely love to meet them somehow, someday
