The Backstreet's Back Initiative
Published July 27, 2005
After five years of taking a well-deserved break, the Backstreet Boys have come back and are better than ever. Their new album, Never Gone, has reached platinum status and the singles are doing well on the charts. They have released an amazing video for Incomplete, the scenery and message is so beautiful. And, the video for Just Want You To Know is supposed to be just as good, from the information that's leaked. For many years, the Backstreet Boys have not only opened doors in the music industry with their music, but also have opened doors on MTV. Their videos have set the stage for many other awesome videos and they were staples on the network during the 1990s. Many singers would not be artists without them. If this is the case, why do people: MTV, critics, and the listening/viewing public not realize that the Backstreet Boys have done so much for music and continue to contribute so much. And the fact that after five years they have managed not only to come back to the business, but to debut at number 3 on the Billboard charts with a wonderful album full of beautiful crafted songs with their trademark harmony should only drive home the fact even more. The Backstreet Boys are worthy artists of worldwide appreciation. The rest of the world understands this, so why doesn’t America? Whether non-fans want to believe it or not, Backstreet's Back and for this and everything they've done, despite the days of thunder and the people who said they don't belong, they still stand together and they are millions strong. BSB fans, five wise men once said, "Every time we're down, you can make it right and that makes you larger than life." They kept their promise, music still exists, and they came back. Now let's make everything right and get everyone to listen. MTV, Backstreet's Back. And for everything they have done for you and the music world at large, they deserve to be nominated for a VMA. Please nominate them for the Viewer's Choice Award. Thank you.
