         Backstreet Boys have been around for 20 years. They first joined in 1993. They didn't get their start in America to believe it or not but they went to Germany to get their start. The guys made their first album in 1995 in Germany. They started out by singing in high schools and they started by singing Acapella because people didn't know if they could sing. After people heard that Backstreet Boys sounded good in Germany, America was begging Backstreet Boys to come back. Their biggest single is I Want it That A Way. Their biggest album is Millennium which sold over 1 million records the first week it came out. For the sales of their record Millennium it was in the genus book of world records. All of their albums to date has made it to the top 10 billboard 200 charts. Even though their recent albums(without Kevin Richardson) wasn't that popular in America, Japan still loved them more  than ever. Both Unbreakable and This is Us went platinum in Japan. They are making records and will not stop making music. In 2005 their record Never Gone went platinum in America and around the world. A day before the record was to be released it VH1 aired the Behind the music of Backstreet Boys. These guys have done it all and have seen it all and there is nothing that will stop them from making music.


Have you seen their Harlem Shake video? Take a look at it.

American Idol

        On April 11, 2013 Lazaro Arbos was eliminated from American Idol. I am so sad to see him leave the show. I really want to know why the judges didn't save him. I have liked him from the beginning ever since he first sung Bridge Over Trouble Waters on January 17, 2013. Since March I have been voting for this guy. When he sung Feeling Good for the second time since Vegas around, I thought the judges were going to save him. They didn't even give it a second thought. It broke my heart when he was not saved. I never wanted a woman to win idol. He was the best and will for ever be known as the last man standing. I will miss him but I hope that someone signs him so I can buy his music. Here is what I think of the show now that Lazaro is not on it anymore, the show is nothing without him. The judges and everyone was way too hard on him. There were lots of people picking on him and it made me sick. He doesn't need to be picked on. At least everyone knows that he was the best of the boys.

Here is an interview Lazaro did with The Hollywood Reporter:

Here is an interview with USA Today:

Q: What are your future plans?
A: I love love songs a lot but at the same time I like pop. I want to do a commercial pop album with some love songs as well.
Q: What was your favorite moment from the show?
A: I would say that I got to meet a lot of amazing people that I'll have life long bonds with. I think that this show definitely gave me a stronger mindset.
Q: You seem to have much more confidence, what was it that you were too afraid to try before that you are most looking forward to try when you get home?
A: I think that this show, like I said before, kind of forced me to lose my nerves and kind of step up no matter what. I don't have a specific thing that I would like to do but if I had to say I would say I would love to act.
Q: I heard you want to act on Glee, is that true?
Yes that is one of my goals after the tour.
Q: If you couldn't act on Glee what other show would you act on?
Modern Family because I love that show.
Q: How does it feel to make it so far after overcoming so much?
A: A lot of people have been asking me if I'm sad and I am so far from sad. I am so well. I have so much going on that I am most definitely looking forward to what comes next and I feel great.

Here is an interview that Lazaro did with Billboard.com

How are you feeling?
I am excited to go home and sleep, darling. Yes, that is my main goal now!

Has it been that taxing on you?
No, it has not, but I think that we've been in such a box for so long that it's kind of cool to go off -- like, ‘Bye guys, I'll talk to you soon!' So it's not that saddening. [Laughs]

Did you have a feeling at all that it might happen?
I don't know. My thing was I know my first song wasn't the best song, but I think I came back with my last song, but that wasn't enough. So I wasn't shocked.

When they separated you into the groups did you have a feeling which group you were in?
When they separated us, I felt that I was going home because – I have a best friend and she's Amber, so I love her – but she hasn't been getting the most votes, so I kind of thought I was going home. But I said if they saved me and not her I was going to get so mad!

Nicki came on stage to say goodbye to you, which we thought was very nice of her and she posed for a pic with you.
Well, you know, I love her, she loves me. Regardless of what she says on camera, I love her and she knows that and we talk after.
