broadcast other of these conference, they said it was going to be broadcast

(You need Real Audio) anyway the quality of the image is not really good,
but if you want to read what they said and did at the conference you can

The Boys have resolved all
the problems they had with Jive. And recently they have sign a contract
of 60 million dollar. WIth this contract they also promise to record 5
albums more, so we'll have the Boys around for a long time!!!
One thing Nick said at the
Toronro's conference... "I really think we’re
going to be a group forever, I mean honestly. They’ll never be an end to
the Backstreet Boys... that’s my opinion" Woww!!
insn't it great?
By the way, there are some
plans for the new album, according to them, it will be ready for the end
of 2000. In the Special
section I have put an interview in where they talk about it.
The next single will be Show Me The Meaning, according to MTV, it will be out in late december or early January. By now, I haven't read nothing about the video. But I wanna know someting about it!! :) I think it's going to be a cool video!
On 6th they finished their
US tour, now they will take a deserved time off 'till 11th Ferbruary when
they will start the last part of the Into The Millennium Tour in the US.
They will do 21 concerts in some cities they didn't include in their last
tour. After that, there are a lot of posibilities that they finally go
on tour to South America.
For more details take a look
to the SCHEDULE.
This was the last day of
the Tour.
I have put up the Audio section.
In the poll I did about what kind of songs would you like to hear on that
section, most of you chose Live del Into The Millennium Tour and Rare songs.
I have put 4 songs of the
concert they did on 14th July in Barcelona, Spain. By the way, I was there.
And in the rare songs the 1st version of IWITW. Wanna listen them? Go to
the Audio
Section.

forgotten nothing, just one thing...........
