BACKSTREET BOYS ISN'T JUST A BAND. IT'S A LIFESTYLE.
If you had told 17-year-old me—shy, quiet, only child me—that one day she’d be confidently speaking on camera, leading marketing campaigns, writing award-winning articles, and living a life she once only imagined, she probably would’ve laughed awkwardly and buried her face in a Tiger Beat magazine. But here’s the thing: I became that woman. And it all started with five guys named AJ, Brian, Howie, Kevin, and Nick.
Anyone feel like they are starting to lose their minds, or that others are? I think we have come to that time when we just need a break, and we should say it to ourselves, “I need a break, from (fill in the blank).”
It is ok to take a break… from our jobs, from our families, friends, and especially social media.
I have discussed my battle with depression on my websites, Twitter, etc., for many years and I’m sure most of you that have followed me online in that time know all about it. I’ve overcome it, fought it, and now, it’s creeping back.
As we all know, the Backstreet Boys are all married men with children. When they leave to go out on tour, they are...
Years ago, talking about suffering from something like depression was kind of taboo. Hell, it still is in a way, but...

There aren’t enough words or emojis or well, anything really to say how proud of Howie D I am. His vision, along with Tor Hyms and Lisa St. Louis came to life in such a magical way on the stage in Omaha.
For the first 37 years of my life, I never thought about how disabled people attended concerts. That all changed...

Am I the only one that needs a real Backstreet Boys/Shania Twain duet?
Seriously it’s a real question. It’s been almost 22 years since we had the pleasure of seeing Shania Twain sing “From This Moment On” (her duet with country singer Bryan White) with the Backstreet Boys.
“I wish I was as dedicated and loyal to ANYTHING in my life as you are to the Backstreet Boys.” – Former Co-Worker
Whether she meant it as a compliment or not, my former co-worker expressed a sentiment shared by many colleagues and friends in my life. And, as with most foreign concepts, there is a lot of curiosity around what it means to be a Backstreet Boys “fangirl.” Here are a few of the most frequently asked questions from people outside the fandom and my best responses (feel free to adapt and recycle where appropriate!).
ATCK is just another outlet for AJ's creativity and self-expression, only this time, he's added friends! I might be...
When I think of Nick, so many amazing things come to mind. Now, this may not be an entire list (is there such a thing?),...
It’s a new year. New year, new you, right? Yep, same old, same old, time to get back into the gym and into your workout routine. Well, I am being serious about it in 2020, anyway.
When I was in high school, I used to write stories on my word processor. I know, I’m talking old school. It was like a...
Imagine waking up from a good night’s sleep, picking up your phone and seeing this headline: “Backstreet Boys release...
It’s that time of the year. It’s January. The holidays and time well spent with our families and loved ones are now over. We are all back to work and classes, our same old routine that gets boring over time if it is redundant. What do we even have to look forward to now?
The last time a Backstreet Boys cruise was announced was last decade. I know, that sounds drastic considering it...
1996. The year I became a fan. I can tell you that this wasn’t the year that I fell head over heels for Nick Carter. Nick and I are 8 years, 8 months and 2 days apart. He’s the youngest member of the Backstreet Boys and he was my least favorite member for the longest time. Sure, I loved him like I loved the others but I just didn’t get what the big deal was. Why did every girl fawn over this kid? Even if I was still a kid myself, I personally liked tall, dark and old as dirt…sorry Kev.
Since I was a little girl, I have been a fan of Elvis Presley. Why? I don’t know. He died just under three years before I...
Many fans were very excited when they heard the announcement of Howie Dorough's play...but that quickly turned to...
26 years (and 8 months+, but who’s counting?). 10 albums (yes, the red album freakin’ counts). 29 singles (35 if you...
To some people, he’s quiet and shy; and to some, he’s the life of the party. Unfortunately, my initial impression was that Howie blended in. He just existed to complete the band.
Do you remember that song "What Dreams Are Made Of" from the "Lizzie McGuire Movie?" That's what I think of when I try to...
It's very rare that you see a group last as long as the Backstreet Boys have. In the next decade, the boys will celebrate...
