This is a positive space where I share my updates and personal analytical reviews of the Backstreet Boys work as well as their solo projects. Sometimes I can get deep and philosophical. Sometimes I can get silly and random. But I'm always respectful and honest. I've been a fan of the guy's careers since around 1997. I have so much love and respect for what they do. If you do too, then join me on this ride together.

    A Very Backstreet Summer

    In this much anticipated episode, I share the story of my summer adventures to see the Backstreet Boys Millennium 2.0 residency at Sphere Las Vegas! Not only did I see their show 3 times, but I also made it to Howie Eatz (twice) AND Nick Carter's listening party for his newest album "Love Life Tragedy." There was a lot of music, dancing, glitter, and a Backstreet Boy kiss that I'll never forget.

    Nick Carter's Episode 05 - Cold Night, a review.

    This penultimate episode is the most raw and real yet! Here, we see our hero seem to lose everything, his love, his power, his will to continue... As he wrestles with his own self-worth and internal darkness, we can only hope that he finds the strength to stand up one more time for the tender, human side of himself that he's been trying so hard to protect.
