Hi, my dear friends! I haven't been active in the group for some time but today I'd like to tell you about the band you all know and many of you may happen to like it. The Backstreet Boys is an American band formed in 1993 in Orlando, Florida. They became very popular very soon as they found the right way to express their feelings. As long as I live I have never heard any other singers who could win the hearts of three generations at once! I believe you all heard some songs from their most popular albums "Backstreet Back" and "Millenium". Their leading voice, Nick Carter, had been world ladies' favorite for so many years until he got married! Ladies were disappointed! And all Boys were so sweet when young! As to thier songs, they are still so actual as they sing about love and touch our best feelings telling about them so sincerely, from the bottom of their hearts till now. At present, they are world-known and famous. They have got a lot of American and World Awards for thier music and singing. But for me and many others they will always remain those young guys who turned our souls inside out in 90's.
Well, if music is on the subject, it is better to listen to it than to discuss. So, here are the songs that made them famous.
"I want it that way"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fndeDfaWCg&list=PLB03F260EA58C615A&index=2
Yeah-eh-heah
You are, my fire,
The one, desire,
Believe, when I say
I want it that way
But we, are two worlds apart,
Can't reach to your heart,
When you say,
That I want it that way
Tell me why,
Ain't nothin' but a heartache,
Tell me why,
Ain't nothin' but a mistake,
Tell me why,
I never want to hear you say,
I want it that way
Am I, your fire?
Your one, desire,
Yes I know, it's too late,
But I want it that way
Tell me why,
Ain't nothin' but a heartache,
Tell me why,
Ain't nothin' but a mistake,
Tell me why,
I never want to hear you say,
I want it that way
Now I can see that we've fallen apart,
From the way that it used to be, Yeah,
No matter the distance,
I want you to know,
That deep down inside of me
You are, my fire,
The one, desire,
You are (You are, you are, you are)
Don't want to hear you say,
Ain't nothin' but a heartache,
Ain't nothin' but a mistake,
(Don't want to hear you say),
I never want to hear you say,
I want it that way
Tell me why,
Ain't nothin' but a heartache,
Tell me why,
Ain't nothin' but a mistake,
Tell me why,
I never want to hear you say,
I want it that way
Tell me why,
Ain't nothin' but a heartache,
Ain't nothin' but a mistake,
Tell me why,
I never want to hear you say,
(Never want to hear you say it),
I want it that way
'Cause I want it that way
"As long as you love me"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Gl2QnHNpkA
Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
I'm leavin' my life in your hands
People say I'm crazy and that I am blind
Risking it all in a glance
And how you got me blind is still a mystery
I can't get you out of my head
Don't care what is written in your history
As long as you're here with me
I don't care who you are
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where you're from
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me
Every little thing that you have said and done
Feels like it's deep within me
Doesn't really matter if you're on the run
It seems like we're meant to be
I don't care who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
What you did
As long as you love me (I don't know)
Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me (yeah)
I've tried to hide it so that no one knows
But I guess it shows
When you look into my eyes
What you did and where you're comin from
I don't care, as long as you love me, baby
I don't care who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
What you did
As long as you love me (as long as you love me)
Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
Don't care what you did (yeah)
As long as you love me (as long as you love me)
Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
As long as you love me
Who you are
As long as you love me
What you did (I don't care)
As long as you love me
"I need you tonight"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnspU5mvY5g
Open up your heart to me
And say what's on your mind, oh yes
I know that we have been through so much pain
But I still need you in my life this time
And I need you tonight
I need you right now
I know deep within my heart
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
I really need you tonight
I figured out what to say to you
But sometimes the words they, they come out so wrong, always they do
And I know in time that you will understand
That what we have is so right this time
And I need you tonight
I need you right now
I know deep within my heart
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
All those endless times we tried to make it last forever more
And baby I know
I need you
I know deep within my heart
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
I really need you, oh
I need you tonight (I need you, oh I need you baby)
I need you right now (It's gotta be this, it's gotta be this)
I know deep within my heart
No, it doesn't matter if it's wrong or it's right
All I know is baby
I really need you tonight!
Here is one more song "Spanish eyes"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tG3S8GZjvMs
Here we are in the arms of one another
And we still go on searchin' for each other
Knowing that hate is wrong and love is right
For us tonight
When I look into your Spanish eyes
I know the reason why I am alive
And the world is so beautiful tonight
It's a place I've never been
And it comes from deep within
And it's telling me that I'm about to win first prize
Knowing all I have to do
Is reach out my hand to you
Anytime I want to look into your Spanish eyes
Let it be if we're nothin' more than dreamers
(Let it be)
Who believe that we see no wall between us
(Who believe)
How can they be in my heart and in my mind?
(In my heart)
(In my mind)
When all I could find
When I look into your Spanish eyes
I know the reason why I am alive
And the world is so beautiful tonight
It's a place I've never been
And it comes from deep within
And it's telling me that I'm about to win first prize
Knowing all I have to do
Is reach out my hand to you
Anytime I want to look into your Spanish eyes
I loved you from a distance
Thought I couldn't reach that far
I can't believe how close that we are
(Believe how close we are)
(Ooo, ooo)
When I look into your Spanish eyes
And the world is so beautiful tonight
It's a place I've never been
And it comes from deep within
And it's telling me that I'm about to win first prize
Knowing all I have to do
Is reach out my hand to you
Anytime I want to look into your Spanish eyes
(Spanish eyes)
Ohh, yea
I hope, you will enjoy this music! Have a nice time!

Thanks everybody for your nice comments!
Dear Ann! I am glad you had a nice time listening to The Backstreet Boys. I hope, you will enjoy your mother's cooking.
As to corrections. I would say "He likes different music now" or "His tastes to music have changed"
Dear Elen! Yes, they were very popular in late 90's and 2000's. Five great guys, five perfect voices singing and moving like one! They were irresistable on the stage! You can see it in the first video. I still like this band.
So, you liked Nick, too! Ha-ha! He was really charming when young! He is still great and not old, about 40. But not in my taste, what a pity! It is interesteng how does it feel to be a ladies' world favorite?! (Smile!)
I like those songs: shape of heart, the call..
But maybe that time I liked Westlife more. The song I like most is "Uptown girl". I like almost of their songs :).
(Tanya, today I 'm rather busy, so please let me send you a mail later. My mother have come back and she is prepairing us delicios meal at home. I like that. ^.6)
Huh, Backstreet Boys, so 90's! When i was a kid i didn't care about music and didn't listen to it. But after my 14 years old, i started to listen and i remember that i listened 1-2 songs of them but i wasn't interested at all. But i remember some of my classmates girls who liked them very much. Anyway they deserve their awards and the so many years career.
Darling! A very nice choice of songs! I'd like to add that the Backstreet Boys are (at least were) almost our neighbors. Orlando is about an hour drive from our place. I saw them first in 1994 when they were not famous yet, but were very good at singing and performing! And I'd like to add a few words for those who still think there is discrimination in America. Look at this band! They are of different races but they are all like one! I will add a few more songs on the weekend. I like this band very much!
