Albums
Jen's fave group is the Backstreet Boys. She's liked BSB since the first release of "We've Got It Goin' On." Her fave members are Frik and Frak (Brian and Nick). Her fave albums of BSB are the "Backstreet Boys" first U.S. release, "Backstreet's Back" European release (2nd European album) and "Black and Blue". Except for a couple of songs, Jen didn't like "Millenium" very much.
Videos
Of all the BSB videos, Jen likes the Get Down video for it's Boy Group-ish appeal. Jen likes the Boy Group style very much. Though most people flacked the original version of "I'll Never Break Your Heart," Jen liked that better than the re-make video that was released in the U.S. Her fave part in the original version was the little dance move they did while dancing with the girls, you know, just before "As time goes by you will get to know me," when the boys pump their shoulders up and down with the beat, then slowly come down on the ground before their girls. That was cool. Jen likes very much the video for "Anywhere For You" for it's calm presentation, and "Backstreet's Back" for it's great entertainment. "As Long As You Love Me" was great for the cool use of soft colors and that awesome chair routine.

Saturate Me
Jen's fave song right now is probably "Saturate Me" by Mandy Moore. It's track 3 of her new album. So, if you ever see that a friend of yours has the new Mandy Moore album, ask to listen to track 3 so you'll get a chance to hear why Jen likes that song so much. It'll make for a great Trigun music vid, she thinks.
Other Cool Songs
Other fave songs of hers right now is that song by Toya called "I do." Jen likes the rhythm of the verses. She also likes "the Rock Show" by Blink-182 and that remake of that Michael Jackson song "Smooth Criminal" by Alien Antfarm. Jen also thinks that "Peaches and Cream" by 112 is a cute song. Some older songs she likes is "Crazy for this Girl" by Evan and Jared and, oh, what's the title of that song? About the girl who cried a river and drowned the whole world. Hmm. Anyway, Jen likes that song a lot. And also that old song by Bush, "Mouth." Oh, and those great Jessica Simpson ballads, including "Heart of Innocence." And the Roswell theme by Dido called "Here With Me." And Jen's fave BSB song is "10,000 promises," especially when BSB performs it live when everyone sings (not just Kevin). Oh, and one more (last I promise!), "When I Remember When" by 5ive. An awesome ballad.

Blink-182
Jen's fave CD currently is Blink-182's latest "Take Off Your Pants and Jacket." She is amazed by how she likes almost every song in the album! Her fave song on the album is "The Rock Show." Jen has liked Blink-182 since she first saw their first video on MTV a few years back called "Damnit (Growing Up)." Jen has all three of Blink-182's albums and always has a huge grin on her face whenever a Blink-182 song comes on the radio. She absolutely loves their sound. She also wonders why Mark always sings a song about a girl named Josie.
Jen's fave singer is Mark, though she likes Tom too because he gives a varied sound to the album. While Mark has the deeper calmer voice, Tom has a higher and younger, neat rock-ish sound voice. In the third album especially, they do a good job of sharing the lead vocals so you don't get tired of either voice. The drummer doesn't sing.
Other Cool CDs
Another CD that Jen can listen to almost the entire album is the Blaque debut CD, which has so many awesome songs it's just unbelievable.
Jen listens to a lot of J-pop and some K-pop and a little bit of HK-Pop. But any mention of any of these songs and groups will be in the Asian Mix section.
