Those who are called onstage make are rapturous, and they often linger after, taking pictures and squealing at each other, until they are firmly asked, again, to leave.

But then my buzz is killed. It happens during a game of coconuts, in which each Boy was paired up with a fan. They are to place a coconut between their two bodies, and without using their hands must wiggle the coconut up to between their necks.

We made eye contact, and I told them "thank you" and meant it.

Oh, and they're wearing the sailor costumes again. But getting through this brief encounter without screaming, and with only the mildest of palpitations, assures me that I am safe. Skip navigation! Story from Music. Where would music and fandom be today without the Backstreet Boys? Who would the women of the '90s and s have swooned and fangirled over?
