My first memory with the boys goes back to August 3rd 2013 in Montreal. First time meeting all of them in person since 96. Was so nerve racking. My best friend convinced me to start singing with her as soon as our time went. And they went along with us and we all sang Show Me The Meaning together. It was magical! This is when I started buying m&g so I could meet them more often. It brings us so much closer! No better feeling than having your idol recognizing you! Cant wait to meet them again sometime in the future! #2018tour... maybe?! #KTBSPA #22YrsStrong #FanForever

My first memory was in 2009 (Unbreakable tour), my first meet. And I waited 12 years for that moment and it was unique and unforgettable. At this moment, AJ definitely stole my heart.
Everyone was lovely with me, and I held my tears. They sang EveryThing but mine, I missed Kevin, but this was just the first date of my journey....

My favourite memory of the Backstreet Boys has to be going to Toronto to see my first BSB concert on January 3, 1998 at the Skydome.

I was so excited! We live a few hours away and my mom arranged for us to stay overnight after the show. She booked us a room at the Skydome Hotel. I couldn't believe we were actually staying there!

The restaurant there has windows to look out on the field and I actually saw the guys entering on a golf cart! I was so in shock that I saw them that when my mom asked me if it was them I was on the verge of tears and stuttered out a "yes".

It was a great show! I have a scrapbook from everything during that time and I bought all of the Toronto newspapers that day in case they had pictures. I met some fellow fans (that were also staying there)in the restaurant after the show and we roamed the halls in search of the boys. LOL. Good times.

I was 10 years old back in my homecountry Honduras, I was changing the channels on my tv and suddenly I saw this cute blond boy on this music video dancing and singing with some other handsome guys and I inmediatly fell in love with them. I didn't know anything about them, nor understood the lyrics because I didn't speak english but seeing that video was enough to start my love for them. By the way, the video was Get Down and the cute blond boy was Nick ?
Ever since, I dreamed about meeting them and my dream came true on April 26, 2017 when I went to Vegas just to meet them which is the most amazing experience I ever had because of their way to treat every fan, their humility really made me feel like I was a special fan for them.

My very first memory of the Backstreet Boys was the Summer going into seventh grade when I heard 'Quit Playing Games With My Heart' playing over the radio station at the local swimming pool all summer long and I was instantly in love! Their first album 'Backstreet Boys' was the first CD I ever bought as well. Am I sorry I bought that album? Heck no! I even picked up a second copy at a thrift store a few years ago just so it would have a good home! BSB4life! KTBSPA!

So I’m going to do two first memories, my first initial memory of the Backstreet Boys and my first memory of them up close.

My very first memory of the Backstreet Boys happened was in June 1997, I had just graduated from 8th grade and had been spending time at my town pool when my friends and I at the time decided to go to our friends house around the corner. When we got there, she turned on the Box music network (it played music videos all day long). As we watched the Quit Playing Games video had come on and I remember loving the song and then nick was singing and he smiled in the video. From that moment on I was hooked.

My first memory of them outside of learning who they were and concert memories was my first time meeting them as a whole. While I had done the BSBBQ in the summer of 2012 ( I had met Kevin and nick solo prior) but my first meeting with all 5 of them was at Backstreet takes NY. I remember being so nervous but Once I started saying my hellos all the nervousness went away and when I got up to Kevin I told him the university of South Carolina was going to beat Kentucky that year. Brian asked if they were playing hay night and I said no September 29th my birthday. Kevin told me Kentucky was going to win and I said again South Carolina was going to win. It was quite amazing memory and I was right South Carolina beat Kentucky that year Haha.

Those are two separate types of first memories I have of the guys. But every first memory from learning who they are, to my first concert and my first meet and greet are memories of them that I treasure. Here is to many more years of first memories with these amazing guys!!

My very first memory of the Boys was my cousin mentioning how in love with them she was, especially the "blond one"! I was watching music videos on Vh1 and "Quit Playing Games With My Heart" came on. I'd heard the song on the radio before but I was seeing their faces for the first time and it was an INTENSE love at first sight!!! I adored the "blond one" too but knew my cousin had dibs so I had to keep my infatuation with Nick a secret for a while. I grew to love all of the Boys very quickly thereafter. Soon, Backstreet Mania took over the world, quite literally, and I was so glad to be a part of it all. Twenty years later, I'm elated that my cousin mentioned them to me so many years ago. I've grown up with them so to speak, and love and respect them even more now, it that's even a possibility. Can't wait to see what they have in store for us all in 2018!

My very first memory of the boys is back in 1996 in Guatemala and I remember my mom blasting ALAYLM in the car, we didn't know who they were but she said that she'd heard the song many times that week when coming back from work and she that there was finally good music in the radio, I started checking MTV regularly until one day I saw the boys and of course me and my mom fell in love with them. When Millenium (i still had their song recorded in a cassette from the radio ill admit) came out we went to the mall and she bought me the CD I came out ECSTATIC and then she said she has forgotten her wallet inside, when she came out she had Backstreet Boys and Backstreet's Back in a bag (she went back inside to look for them) even many years after when she got sick (she passed away in '07) she would ask me to put the boys so she could hear them and that's something I will ALWAYS treasure.
