Question
Hello!
I've got a question about BSB. Do you know anything about any their connections with Michael Jackson? I mean anything, like meetings with Michael Jackson, inspirations, maybe some BSB memeber was/is his fan... just anything.
Thank you, Captain_Eo1958  

Answer
Hi,and thanks for your question.Yes the backstreet boys do Know Michael Jackson and have worked with him before and have used his influence and him as an inspiration in their careers.They worked with him on a benefit song a couple years back called "What More Can I Give" it was BSB,Jackson,And a few other big name celebritys.BSB'S video for "Everybody(backstreets back)" off of BSB's 1st US album was as well inspired by and made the way it was because of Jacksons video for the song "Thriller".Though they are not "best friends" they are acquaintances of Jackson's and have used him as inspiration,and have worked with him as well as they admire him as an artist and are fans of his music.So I hope this has helped to answer your question and if you have any more questions please feel free to ask and I will help answer them the best I can,Thank you,Jimmy-
