It would be a dream come true to win this contest. Unlike many fans who have done VIP packages and cruises, I've never met NKOTB and would love the opportunity to do so! I've been a fan since they first arrived on the music scene. Please make my dream come true!!

Sometimes it takes the strength of a woman To understand the weakness of her man. It's gonna take the strength of this woman To keep fighting for the love of her man. I am a very strong, loving, caring, woman. I'm beautiful and strong willed, well educated, career oriented and successful. After 2 years I have given up on a man who sees me as his weakness. He told me that he wants a woman that needs him. He told me I made him soft by taking care of him. These words speak to me. I understand his weakness. I fought and would continue to fight, but he gave up on me because I made him fat and made him soft. I need a vacation. This would be for myself and my sister who is getting married in septemeber. If I win this it would be a bonding experience for us. I would love to share this with her. Thank you for considering me for this. 🙂

It's getting louder and louder One voice at a time. Then you softly start to blow my mind. Can't stop the whisper, can't stop the whisper. The whisper... it's never been so loud. This is how I feel when ever I listen to this group for whom I loved since day 1 back in the day...
