- “ANYWHERE FOR YOU” (1997)
This one looks like a cross between the opening credits for Beverly Hills 90210 and the ones for Dawson’s Creek. Just stuff you already know.
- “I’LL NEVER BREAK YOUR HEART” (1995)
Imagine the video for Destiny’s Child’s “Say My Name” (if you can’t immediately visualize this, click this link and remedy that immediately) and you’ll pretty much get the setting for this one. Subtract the sassy poses and add the patented boy band ~feelings~ and exposed chests, of course. By all means, this is also a performance video, but the camera work moving between all the different rooms makes it just dynamic enough to be interesting. Note: there is a European version of this video where the boys are at a ski resort.
- “BIGGER” (2009)
A lighthearted video that shows the Backstreet Boys experiencing Japan and spending time with people there.
- “INCOMPLETE” (2005)
Sadly, we’ve moved past coordinated dances in favor of another straight performance video in the desert. The band sings their lyrics to the sky in angst. However, the shots of Kevin playing piano are well done and add a little something new.
- “LARGER THAN LIFE” (1999)
Considering its proximity to the release of the first Star Wars prequel, it’s no surprise that “Larger Than Life” throws the boys into space. “It’s like the Clone Wars, but with dancing,” as my sister describes it. The beginning is an unfortunate mix of unnecessary CGI and interesting Star Wars allusions, but it gets better by the end when the boys come back together for their dance sequence. As usual.
