The Backstreet Boys back in Paris, to the delight of their fans

At 13, when Emma discovered the Backstreet Boys, she stuck on “the somewhat catchy rhythm of their songs but above all, of course, the handsome blond Nick Carter“. She listens to the radio and frantically records dozens of cassettes. At the same time, in the Var, Marion receives a CD for her communion, a compilation on which appears a piece of the Backstreet Boys. Since then, for the two young women, not a day goes by without thinking about it. First real concert in 1997 in Paris for Emma, ​​in 2008 in Barcelona for Marion.”We started trying to wait for them at the airport, remember the latterto find their hotel, and then it continued until today!She concludes:It’s true that I grew up with them.“

Everyone believed them to be forgotten like the other boy bands, but here we are proud that they are coming back to us

Last Monday, she saw their concert in Lisbon, and after Paris she will go by bus to Amsterdam and Cologne to continue the tour, and show the uninitiated that her idols are still there. Emma went to Las Vegas, Canada, on a cruise to see them. It was she who founded The French Backstreet Team, the French fan club. “We met around rumors, their concerts, songs not even released yet“, she explains.

But who says privileged access, also says jealousy: “Some said ‘why does she see them more than me, why does she have more photos, oh well do they know her name?‘” Even if she dropped the official page, she will still be in the “Golden Square” this Saturday evening at the Accor Arena.

It’s just a period of your history attached to a period of the culture’s history; do you take the train or not

Marion will also be at the Accor Arena as close as possible, she who wears the Backstreet Boys on her skin: “I have two tattoos, my two favorite songs. For the second, a member of the group wrote on a piece of paper and the tattoo artist copied it.“Almost 30 years later, the flame is still not extinguished.
