Tigger Beat - Question and Answer

0: Has fame changed the Backstreet Boys? I heard they don't like to meet their fans anymore.
A: Where did you hear that? The Backstreet Boys may have changed but only for the better. They are very cool on meeting their fans when the opportunity arises. Due to their huge success the last year. The Backstreet Boys had to grow up real fast and deal with the responsibilities of being in a hit band.

0: How did the Backstrect Boys form?
A: The Backstreet Boys came together a little over four years ago when Oriando Florida natives Howie, A.J. and Nick were introduced to cousins Kevin and Brian, who come from Kentucky. It didn't take long before the boys realized that they had something special in the harmonizing department. Together they united and went
after a dream and today are pretty big pop stars!

0: How are the Backstreet Boys handling their overseas fame and success?
A: The boys couldn't be more happy and surprised about their popularity overseas. Though they seored a U.S.A. hit a while back with We Got it Goin' On, it was in Europe, Asia and Canada that they became a household
word. "Our success in Europe is very important to us," says Kevin, 24. "I got pretty crazy after awhile and the crowds kept getting bigger everywhere we went." "We pretty much get mobbed everywhere we go outside of America. So far, America has been like a safe haven for us a place where we can keep our feet on the ground." Perhaps so but not for long. Now that The Backstreet Boys have received American radio airplay, and are making concert appearances, they may just find themselves in a similar Hanson-like circumstance. Let's hope so!

0: Of all the Backstrect Boys I like Nick the best. What's he really like?
A: The blond and angelic looking. Nick is really quite a shy guy. Don't expect him to be the life of the party. "i love all the attention I get," he says. "After all, I know I could never be the wild one, now can I? Though Nick may be shy, he's sure full of energy and often doesn't know how to focus his various attentions. That's why he's the prankster of the band.

0: Is it true that Brian never wanted to be famous, that it was Kevin who got him into playing music?
A: Brian not wanting to be famous? We don't think so. When Brian was younger,he had drearns of being a professional basketball player. But that all changed once he discovered music. lucky for us!
