Backstreet's Back...ALL RIGHT!

You know, I've seen hundreds of films in my years on this planet, and yet, I've never been moved as much as I was seeing these two young men.

Two Chinese Kids - As Long As You Love Me

I don't know their names. I know only that they are Chinese. But they've managed to touch me in places that even the most obscene sex toy could never reach.

Their passion, their heartfelt delivery, and the pure ANGST has brought me to tears. I've been through almost an entire BOX of tissues...which I keep next to my computer for other, personal reasons.

I mean, ANYONE can lip-sync music on their web cams. But to choose such heart-wrenching songs...music which I firmly believe to be directly FROM the Back Street...with such drama and emotion...well, I get a little choked up just thinking about it.

Two Chinese Kids - I Want It That Way

I honestly believe these lads are CRYING.

Making it even more haunting is the unseen kid in the background playing "Counterstrike" or something while these kids pour their hearts out. Is he SO COLD that he remains unaffected by the pure emotion in the room? Or is he simply using "Counterstrike" as a tool to disassociate himself from the heartbreaking sadness that is just a few feet away.

Anonymous Chinese kids...I SALUTE YOU. Thank you...for teaching me how to FEEL again. Godspeed, my friends. Godspeed.

Oh, wait...Ogre wants to say something. Yes, Ogre?

Okay, that's another opinion...wait, yet another fictional supporting character from an '80s comedy wants to say something. Mr. Spicoli?

Er, yes, probably.

Paul Buceta, what do YOU think?

How did I know HE'D like it?

Enjoy the videos, and let's hear your comments below!
