This is a thread about the SaS-news related to Florida
TV broadcaster/Radio station: WPOW (TV/Radio broadcaster located in Miami/Fort Lauderdale)
Musical format: Rhytmic Contemporary Hit Radio
Artist: Backstreet Boys
The TV-Radio Broadcaster, WPOW, has now officially confirmed their announcement of their second artist. Making it the forty-seventh official SaS #2-representant!
This will also follow the completion for the artist poster of ★ 3RD HEAT ★!
The submission has been brought out by our supporters for this contest. The submitted artist will success the former entrant of last edition, who was Hilary McRae and her song "Consider Me Gone", which didn't managed to qualify and just placed 8th with 59 points.
Now this state shall show its rich musical industry of what it can bring. The next artist is an act, whose musical career has brought a trend back in the 90's, gave a new colour to what music can bring fans to the house!
And we all know how The Beatles did this as the first thing, but then our next artist, a pop act, which back in the old days (and still is in the present time) were called 'boyband', which heavily touches onto female hearts, but with the addition into the pop format, which obviously became such a hot-spot and which have been shown that a variety of idols in a group can make an enourmous appeal!
We can finally confirm that our most legendary boyband in the homestate, the Backstreet Boys, are on to the shot for winning the contest for Florida! It was also suggested for the state of Kentucky though.
However, since their popularity began in the late 90's, they've broken music and concert sale records and made themselves the highest-selling boyband on record by having sold more than 180 million albums! Let alone 38 millions in the country.
They've attained a Guinness World Records when their album Millenium certified 11x platinum back in its release till a year after, making it the fastest selling album in a year. In the present time, 43 million copies have now been sold worldwide!
The broacaster WPOW made a move for contacting the band to see if they were interested to enter Superstars & Stripes #2 with the additional response of supporters to help them through the participation. Of course, the boyband comes in high cost, and it wasn't too risky so to say, that this rich state could afford enough money to pay them for entering the contest.
With them answering yes, they immediately have thought of a song to enter with. A song which haven't charted as well as their other songs or what brings them to the reason.
But they'll reveal the song when the Song Announcements will be dated later in this month!
Special thanks to Shovkovskyi/Peter for suggesting this artist!

★ Lyrics ★
[Girl:] "Hello?"
[AJ:] (lot's of people talking in background)"Hi it's me what's up baby? I'm
sorry listen I'm gonna be late tonight so don't stay up and wait for me ok?"
[Girl:] "Where are you?"
[AJ:] [people get louder] "Wait wait say that again?"
[Girl:] "Hello?"
[AJ:] "You're really dropping out I think my battery must be low. Listen if you
can hear me we're goin' to a place nearby, alright? Gotta go" [click]
Let me tell you the story about the call that changed my destiny
Me and my boys went out, just to end up in misery
I was about to go home and there she was standing in front of me
Said 'Hi, I got a little place nearby
Wanna go?', I should have said 'No'
Someone's waiting for me
But I called my girl up and said
Listen Baby I'm sorry
Just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late don't stay up and wait for me
I'll say again you're dropping out my battery is low
So you know we're goin' to a place nearby
I gotta go
Now two years gone, nothing's been won
I can't take it back what's done is done
One of her friends found out
That she wasn't my only one
And it eats me from inside, that she's not by my side
Just because I made that call and lied
Listen Baby I'm sorry
Just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late don't stay up and wait for me
I'll say again you're dropping out my battery is low
So you know we're goin to a place nearby
I gotta go
[Baby baby I'm sorry] [Hello?]
[Baby baby I'm sorry] [Hello?]
Gotta go
Let me tell you the story about the call that changed my destiny
Me and my boys went out, just to end up in misery
I was about to go home and there she was standing in front of me
Said I, I got a little place nearby
Gotta go
Listen Baby I'm sorry
Just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late don't stay up and wait for me
I'll say again you're dropping out my battery is low
So you know we're goin to a place nearby
Gotta go
Listen Baby I'm sorry
Just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late don't stay up and wait for me
I'll say again you're dropping out my battery is low
So you know we're goin to a place nearby
We're goin to a place nearby
Gotta go
