Thankful for BSB: Nick Carter Edition......Part 1.

So I decided to do a series of blogs to express why I like each Backstreet Boy and what they mean to me, ect. I figured it was a fitting time being that Thanksgiving is right around the corner. The final blog will be a group one expressing how I feel about them as a whole. :) So if you are interested here goes nothing....

First up is the baby of the group.....Nick Carter....

So lately it seems to be a common theme for some fans to assume that I hate Nick....well you know what they say when you assume? ;) LOL But in all seriousness I promise I don't hate the guy....is he my favorite? No. But I do like him. And I honestly couldn't see the Backstreet Boys being the Backstreet Boys without him so for that reason alone I like him. But I promise there's other things I like about him. And I'll share those things below...

I love  how passionate he is about things. No matter what it is. Seeing him fan boy over things to me is pretty cool because it's like he understands what we feel when us fans fan girl over him or the other guys.

I am a HUGE football fan. My team is the Buffalo Bills. (Fun fact: Nick's first favorite team was the Buffalo Bills.) I love them win or lose. I see Nick do the same with the Tampa Bay Bucs. It's cool to see that as well because I understand how frustrating it can be when your team loses a lot. Not that you'll ever read this Nick but come back and talk to me about frustrating when your favorite team goes to the Super Bowl FOUR TIMES IN A ROW and loses them all. :) LOL

Now he hasn't personally helped me overcome anything really as an individual really but I know so many other fans, some who I consider friends have Nick to thank for not giving up on life, love, ect. and that brings them so much joy and seeing them happy makes me happy. One of my favorite things in life is seeing others happy. :) But the boys as a group with their music, ect has helped me overcome so many things and Nick was a part of that but that's another story....for another post so stay tuned. ;)

Seeing him act silly and goofy is great as well. Life is so short as it is you might as well have some fun and laugh along the way. Whether it's one of his Nick Corner videos he used to make or pulling a prank on someone it's great to see him be a kid at heart.

Although I don't particularly agree with some of Nick's personal choices when it comes to the whole sex, drugs, alcohol, ect. I do have to give him credit for realizing he had a problem before it was too late and he ended up dead like so many other young, talented celebrities. I also thought it was great that he wrote a book to try and use something that was not necessarily a good thing and spin it into something that could benefit others. Sometimes some people forget that celebrities are real people and they make mistakes, ect just like everyone else.


His voice. I like it. Even more so these days when it sounds more mature and stuff. A lot of his stuff as a solo artist isn't my cup of tea, style wise but he does have some great songs. I own Now or Never, favorite song off that CD is "I got you." And I even own "I'm taking off." Favorite song on that CD is "Falling down." To me both of those songs are such powerful songs. I also like his song "Don't walk away" but I don't think that made it on a CD. Not totally sure though.

But overall if Nick didn't exist in the Backstreet Boys then I think they would be.....Incomplete.....yeah....yeah....I'm sure everyone saw that coming but I couldn't help it. :)

So that concludes my post about Nick and the things I like about him. I hope you enjoyed it.

Stay tuned for the 2nd installment of my "Thankful for BSB" blogs that will feature none other than the "Bad Boy" of the group AJ......
