5.0 out of 5 stars A powerful ballad and beautiful B-sides!, February 27, 2000

This review is from: Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely (Audio CD)

"Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely" is a powerful, beautiful, and sad ballad with lyrics that paint pictures of loss and loneliness. It is the best blending of vocals yet, with magical songwriting and production. A true keepsake ballad. The b-sides are wonderful as well; "I'll Be There For You" is a heartfelt ballad that boasts Brian Littrell's admired vocals. "You Wrote The Book On Love" is a midtempo track with sincere, powerful lyrics and a magic touch of wonder. It is almost shocking that these two b-sides were not included in the American release of 'Millennium' (they are included on the Australian version.) A beautiful song and wonderful b-sides. If you buy one single from the Backstreet Boys, let it be this.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Buy, February 12, 2000

I bought this single at Wherehouse, but I just had to share how amazing it is. The single includes: Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely, I'll Be There For You, and You Wrote The Book On Love. I bought it just because of the title track (which is absolutely amazing in its own right), but I was surprised by how great You Wrote The Book On Love is. It is a classic love song with clever and catchy lyrics. This is by far the best single that BSB has released yet, and it is definately worth the money. The 2 extra tracks can only be found on import albums, so it is a lot cheaper to buy this single. Enjoy!
