Do you remember all the boy bands from the 1990s? One of the most famous, the Backstreet Boys, is making a comeback. They plan to reunite and tour. Their tour is sure to satisfy nostalgic fans.

The only thing is, the members of Backstreet are in their 30s and 40s now. So are they really “boys” anymore?

I liked backstreet boys maybe bacause i was 11 or 12 years old and maybe because it was mod.


i wouldn’t pay a ticket to see bsb, now i don’t like their music and they belong to another time of my life. I think also they get back together to make more money or to respect some contract ;)

“Incomplete”

Empty spaces fill me up with holes
Distant faces with no place left to go
Without you within me I can’t find no rest
Where I’m going is anybody’s guess

I tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete

Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am swimming in an ocean all alone
Baby, my baby
It’s written on your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake

I’d try to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete

I don’t mean to drag it on, but I can’t seem to let you go
I don’t wanna make you face this world alone
I wanna let you go (alone)

I’d try to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete

Incomplete…
