Help me, I was (almost) the only guy at the party!

Suddenly Kana There they are, «boy teams».. First and foremost, Backstreet Boys. We “my generation” from the capital just got tired of the ’90s About dancing girls He smiled, but knew every song, and knew the chorus secretly by heart. Songs are playing everywhere.

Before the millennium in the year 2000 at the latest, I felt like every ‘Moody’ in Bern was smitten with Nick Carter’s mushroom hairstyle. in discotheques It became “as long as you love me” cuddled

I saw Nick Carter, who we used to find embarrassing, live on stage yesterday. So I really accepted the invitation to the “awkward” Backstreet Boys party and I’m at Hallenstadion.

I quickly realized: Help, I’m (almost) the only guy here!

There are a lot of female fans of that time who are now in their mid-30s going for a fun walk with their girlfriends. Their common denominator: they know each song by heart and sing loudly. Nick, 42, has three children and a small belly, still screaming the loudest.
