Home Videos Reviews
I will put up a review of Backstreet Boys- The Video , Backstreet Boys- Live In Concert , Behind the Scenes- The Making of Everybody (Backstreet's Back) andA Night Out With The Backstreet Boys soon, but for now, here's a very detailed review of the latest home vid I got, Backstreet Stories. Enjoy!
Backstreet Stories is all about their whole story from the very beginning. Nick was only around 14, AJ was 16, Brian was 19, Howie was 20 and Kevin was 22. Yes, there ARE clips from when they were that young on the vid! (To me, those were the best parts!)
Here are some I just HAD to put in here! (Oh yeah, AJ's mom and Nick's mom were there with them. And I think Howie's dad was there too.)
Going to New York
- AJ moons the camera twice, shakes his butt the 2nd time! Very funny!
- A very good cameraman goes close up to each of the guys as they put their luggage in the van to the airport.
Kevin: Yo wassup! (Makes a funny face. It's funny and cute!)
Howie: We're going to New York! (Does the gun-thing at the camera with his hands and puts on that cute grin of his!)
Nick: Here we come! (Remember, Nick was ONLY 14! Can you spell a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e?)
AJ: I'm gonna die in this plane. (Awww! Don't you wish you could've gone with him on the plane and make sure he was all right?)
Cameraman: Where are ya ahead? (As if he didn't know!)
Brian: The Big Apple! (I just love his hair back then!)
In the van
- I don't know who said it, but someone said, "We're having a family gathering!" in such a tone of voice that it cracked me up!
At the airport
- In my opinion, this was the best part! Okay, they're waiting in line to get their plane tickets. Nick's mom accuses him of picking his nose!!
Nick: I'm not picking my nose! Got a problem? (I think he said that to AJ or Howie) I'm doing this! (he presses his mouth with his fingers) - Kevin looks dazed and confused, very sleepy. (It's cute!)
- Now, they're at the part where they have to go through the beeper doorway. Howie's dad makes it, I believe Nick and Kevin did but alas, AJ, Howie and Brian did not.
AJ: Nick! Nick! (He's calling him from after walking through the doorway.) Get your shoes, Nick! (Notices camera right about now.) Oh hey! I beeped! (Smiling! Aww) They felt me up with that little, it was good. (That part made me laugh so hard!) - Nick's laughing because Howie beeped. He was saying it was because of his big earrings. Still laughing, he turns and sees the camera. STILL laughing, he sorta smiles. (Awwwww!)
- The cameraman asked Brian as he walked towards him: Was it good?
Brian: Yeah, it was good. (I know he was referring to the metal detector, but if I didn't know any better, I'd say from the way he said it he just 'scored' with a girl!)
In the hallway to the plane
- Nick: PIFF DADDY! (???)
Howie: Piff Daddy! Ah, Piff Daddy!
AJ: I'm gonna die!
Brian Big Apple, here we come!
Plane
- The plane didn't go up yet, but AJ is already sound sleep. (Sweet sight!)
- The plane is up in the sky now, and the cameraman's talking to Nick:
Cameraman: How is it?
Nick: Pretty good, my ears haven't popped yet.
Someone says something (I think it was Kevin or Howie) that I couldn't exactly quite hear.
Nick: (Puts on a what-kind-of-a-question-is-that look) Now why do you want to know? (Thinks a bit) Yeah. (Then he covers the camera with his hand.)
Arriving in NY
- Howie: We made it!
Nick:We're finally alive! We're alive! Da-da-da-da-da-da-da!
AJ: I gotta piss, man!
In the van
- The camerman asks AJ and Howie if they're okay, they nod. They seem more relieved than before.
- Cameraman: (moves camera) ...and there's Nicky in the back playing with something. (He's playing with the hook above him)
AJ: Nicky's playing with himself! (That's kind of mean, but ah well. They didn't show anything right after AJ's remark. Maybe a fight happened. Heh heh.) - AJ: I wanna see some babes. (Go figure.)
New York City
- AJ: Fired up! (Gives peace sign) We're goin' home!
Brian: The big A, we're here!
Kevin and Howie: We are her-a!
Shopping
- Here's ANOTHER cute Nicky part! Okay, they're standing in front of a window full of gold jewelry.
Nick: This is all mine, you should know. My styles of the Rich Nicky! (???)
Howie: Maybe I'll get that (points at a ring) for a girlfriend someday. (He's talking to AJ, I think)
Nick:Actually, these are for all my girlfriends. (Relax, my young friend! Read the following and it'll calm you down.)
Nick: (goes CLOSE UP to the camera) I--I--I was only kidding! I don't have a girlfriend! All you girls out there, you're my girlfriend! (Dontcha feel better now? Heh heh!)
After all those cool and funny parts, they're trying on suits at a men's clothing store. (Our dear Kevin wearing a sleeveless top. Really adorable, because he had that cute haircut then!)
All the rest are just interviews, interviews and more interviews.
Here are some miscallenous (HOW DO YOU SPELL THAT!!!) stuff about the vid:
- Nick goes CLOSE UP to the camera (as a 16-year-old) and kisses it!
- The Boys don't agree with lying about their age
- Did I mention AJ moons the camera! *LOL*
All in all, I give this vid four out of five stars. Why did I take away one star? Because this vid would've been better without the boring non-BSB interviews!!
