which one it will be. It could be "Show me the meaning of being lonely", "Girlfriend,

Boyfriend" or a track performed at the VIVA unplugged session. We'll just wait and see!!

It's said that the video for this new single has been shot in February, probably in

Los Angeles, USA.

Towards the end of March the BSB will start the rehearsals of their

AJ has a new tattoo again. This time it's a tattoo on his right arm.

In a recent interview with Bravo magazine (German magazine) the

reporter asked them how many songs the BSB have already written for their new album.

Brian answered that Kevin wrote the song "Back to your heart" and Brian "Where do we

go from here" as well as "The perfect thing". This song is dedicated to all of the guys'

mothers! Nick added that besides those songs, they also wrote the songs "I'll be the one"

and "Show me the meaning of being lonely". As for the last two songs a preview featured

on the cd "A night out with the Backstreet Boys". (I have parts of these preview in my

soundclips section). As I already reported before: Nick also said that "Heaven in your

eyes", the song he has only sung during concerts up till now, will also be put on the new

album. The song has been rearranged a bit, and sounds a bit different then before and is

now called "I need you tonight". (this proves that even Nick called the song "Heaven in

your eyes" before and that it's not something us fans made up!

~*~*~*~

In the same interview the BSB said that they will dedicate their upcoming

third album to Denniz Pop, the producer who made them famous and who passed away

in 1998.

~*~*~*~

The Backstreet Boys are nominated for a Grammy! They are up for best new artist and

are up against a.o. Lauryn Hill and Natalie Imbruglia. The Grammy's will be held

February 24.
