Backstreet Boys' Kevin Richardson's "Got a Way" With Joel Tune

Kevin Richardson

My name is Eric, I'm 43-years-old and I like the Backstreet Boys.  It started innocently enough in 1996 when I was working for a Top 40 radio station.  I played "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)" and as much as I really didn't want to like it, I couldn't help loving it.

The addiction grew as more singles were released: "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)", "As Long As You Love Me" and "I Want It That Way".

By the time "Larger Than Life" came out in '99, I was in full BSB hysteria.  (I even collected the action figures from Burger King and had them prominently displayed on my desk at work.)

Yesterday I noticed this message from BSB's Kevin Richardson on my Facebook news feed: "A cover of one of my favorite artists of all time.  Cover 2015 coming soon..."  It was then linked to a video of him singing Billy Joel's "She's Got A Way".  (I also happen to love Billy Joel, although I don't have his action figure. )

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go squee!
