February 2000 - April 2001

 

Saturday, April 21, 2001

Yeah right....I updated the site within a week? YAY! hehehe. You may have noticed I changed the layout...not something I do very often. So I hope ya like it....and if ya don't, sorry, but you'll have to get used to it. It'll probably be another year before I change it again. The main reason for changing it is 'cause it took way too long for the page to load before. The page still probably takes long to load, but not as long as before.

º The Docks - 3 new text links
º Concert Island - added 2 more "Tidbits", and 1 Black & Blue Tour
º Schedule & TV Guide - added April/May/June calendars

ºI've added was news headlines to the main page (courtesy of Moreover). I've called it "Current Events" (get it...CURRENT...water...?? I'm trying hard to stick with my cruise/water theme. =+) ) Anyway, because of this addition, I had to expand the layout a little. Honestly, I'm not really happy with the way it's turned out...but it'll have to do for now.

ºAlso, I went and saw the Backstreet Boys at MuchMusic about a 1 1/2 weeks ago. Go to the main page and you'll find the link to my experience and pictures of the event.

heya!
Other sections haven't really been updated. Just this page and the main page. I know the "schedule & tv guide" page is REALLY outdated, but i'll get to it soon enough...hopefully. =+)

___________________

MTV is debuting the new Backstreet Boys video "The Call" tomorrow! (Jan 12 @ 8pm!) Watch for it. And MuchMusic watchers, I'm not sure, but I'm assuming they'll be debuting the video as well. Maybe it'll play on MuchMegaHits @ 5pm or MuchOnDemand @ 5:30pm EST. Again, I'm just ASSUMING...i'm not sure about when it'll debut on MuchMusic.

Also...

In a message from Steve at Jive records to Vanessa of the BSB Online Street Team:

"I just saw the video for "The Call" for the first time and I can't tell you how excellent I think it is. You have never seen Backstreet Boys like this. It's incredible. It's based on the lyrics to the song, but it tries to teach a lesson to guys cheating on their girlfriends. But it's like Mission Impossible meets The Matrix in a very short movie. And there's all these twists to the story, but if you keep your eye on Howie, you can see what's coming. The guys aren't even singing, they're all acting and doing amazing stunts. Brilliant."

Congrats to the guys for winning an American Music Award for the "Best Pop/Rock Group" category. They beat *NSYNC and Creed.

Unfortunately the Backstreet Boys didn't beat 'N Sync's 2.4 million albums sold in one week in the States, however they still managed to sell 1.5 million copies in the States and that's EXCELLENT! They beat their old record of 1.13 million! We should be very proud of the boys! Congratulations! Not only has the group done extremely well in the States, but in other parts of the world too. They managed to set an international record selling 5 million copies of the album worldwide within their first week of sales. Woowoo!

In Canada they didn't beat their Millennium sales. Millennium sold 191 791 copies and Black & Blue sold 156 307 copies. However, both of these albums beat *NSYNC's "No Strings..." which sold 104 897 copies. I know a lot of emphasis has been put on breaking records for this album (...even I did it,) but I have to admit although I'm a little disappointed they didn't beat the 2.4 million record, the album is GREAT...and if you don't have it yet, go get one!

Wow, 2 and a half months, huh? I do still love the Backstreet Boys....I just haven't updated in a REALLY long time. The thing is though, there are so many great backstreet boys sites out there, that's it's hard to be different. It's hard to think of something that no other site has or is extremely rare to find in a site, and that's basically why I don't update. Get what I mean? So I guess my point is, enjoy what the site has for now 'cause a lot of the stuff on the site you don't come across very often.

You've most likely been to the main page, so you know what new features this site has.

1) You can get a free backstreet boys e-mail account (example: you@backstreetboys.ven.cc) Why isn't it you@bsbcruise.ven.cc? 'Cause I figured most of you would want a backstreet boys one instead of a bsbcruise one. For your free account, Go to http://freemail.backstreetboys.ven.cc
 
2) You can also download a new Backstreet Boys Winamp skin made by me. The people at Winamp.com gave it a rating of 2/5 stars. That kinda pissed me off 'cause I worked HARD on that thing and I think one of the reasons I got that rating was 'cause it was about the Backstreet Boys. My reviewer commented "I'll give you a couple of stars for design if you promise not to make a series of BSB skins." Oh well, I don't really care just as long as the FANS like it. Check it out in the Cargo section.

Here's what is updated:

º The Docks - 4 new links, 1 new banner link
º Schedule & TV Guide - couple tv dates added for March
º Concert Island - 1 new concert experience
º Cargo - new WINAMP skin
º E-mail - new!

º Other candidates for Record of the Year that could give Santana's "Smooth" a run for its money include: "Believe" by Cher (6/5), Ricky Martin's "Livin' La Vida Loca" (7/1), "I Want It That Way" by Backstreet Boys (8/1), and TLC's "No Scrubs" (12/1). In the Song of the Year category, "Smooth" will be challenged by "Livin' La Vida Loca" (3/1), TLC's "Unpretty" (4/1), "I Want It That Way" (13/2), and "You've Got A Way" by Shania Twain currently at 7/1 odds. Intertops.com has made Santana's multi-platinum album "Supernatural" heavily favored to garner Album of the Year honors, but he will face competition from TLC's "Fanmail" (3/1), Backstreet Boys' "Millennium" (9/2), Dixie Chicks' "Fly" (8/1), and Diana Kroll's "When I Look In Your Eyes" (25/1).
