Miscarriage

[edit]

I have removed the line It's been revealed that he would have had a little sister, but his mother miscarried.[1] This appears to be irrelevant trivia that violates the privacy of a non-notable person (his mother), and is referenced to an unidentifiable publication. Opening this for discussion as at least one other editor thinks it should be included. (Will invite that IP to the discussion since I can't ping them.)

Clean-Up

[edit]

Dear fellow Wikipedians,

Before editing Brian Littrell's Wikipedia page last month, the article was badly written and poorly structured, making reading difficult, yet the old edit has been restored despite my effort, and for no valid reason other than "messy grammar". Really? Here's why I edited the page:

  • Unnecessary information (Wikipedia is not Teen Beat or a fan site)
  • Tautology was rampant (What's the point in describing Long John Silver's as a fast food chain when it's already been hyperlinked?)
  • More research was required (If you're not aware Johnny Wright was the Backstreet Boys' manager - not Lou Pearlman - you're just a cyber-groupie and not a genuine fan)
  • Poor grammar (Focus on yours before you attack mine)

I don't by any means declare myself to be the best writer out there - I made a few mistakes when I edited Littrell's page but accepted corrections from other users - but the last edit was beyond appalling, see for yourselves. I've restored my original edit, but what do you guys think? Or does everyone else see something I don't? Cleanupbabe (talk) 04:40, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Cleanupbabe: As this is mainly a question about content, the {{help me}} template is not the right thing to use here. The approach you need to take when your edits are undone is to contact the other editors and figure out if you can come up with some agreeable compromise. The first place to try this is on the talk page of the article in question, that is, here, but you should ping the specific editor or editors using their usernames. If at first you can't get agreement here, the next stages are to try the talk page of a relevant WikiProject that is interested in this page or, if you think the other editors have violated policies, you can take the issue to the relevant noticeboard. For more information, please see dispute resolution. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 05:46, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Major Edits

[edit]

I don't wanna burst anyone's bubbles, but I was seeing major errors on the page. I did found some real liable sources for the previous edits:

  • Littrell loved sports and was extremely skilled at gymnastics, which was shown in Everybody (Backstreet's Back), and played in both Little League and the Babe Ruth League.
  • He did some solos for Christmas or Easter when he was 10 and was voted President of the Youth Chorus by his peers one year. He sang a song for a Christmas album when he was only 8 years old and later sang in his high school choir and was selected in the State Chorus lineups for 2 successive years. At 16, he began performing at weddings and other events after his choir teacher, Barry Turner, in 7th grade advised him that he could make money from singing at social events.
  • Littrell also did school plays, including a part of the school production of Grease as Roger at Tates Creek High School. Initially, that fame didn't impress his school friends, as he was just another one of the guys in the classroom. But this positive reinforcement changed in his junior year of high school when his talent was finally recognized when he sang a duet of a spiritual song called 'Another Time, Another Place' with his first girlfriend in a Tates Creek High School talent show. His performance made his classmates - and Brian himself - realize the extent of his natural talent. Brian's vocals singing his part caused the female members of the crowd to scream and cheer so much that he couldn't hear himself. That experience, he says, was a total rush and left him craving more.
  • At 15, Littrell had aspirations to become a basketball player, but at 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm), he struggled with his height and was seldom selected for the high school team, although he managed to play on his church team. He did some wrestling at school, as said in the documentary
  • He was even in a Firestone commercial, a car repair/tire chain when he was 15. (I might need to do more research on this fact)
  • In high school, Brian and some of his friends sing Top 40 songs acapella in a group called Specialty. Besides school, he worked at a fast-food chain, Long John Silver's, Charter Ridge Hospital for the mentally ill and disabled people as a janitor, and at a church that he attended, and organizing the sanctuary as a wedding coordinator when he would also sing at other regional churches, revivals, weddings, and parties.
  • Due to his Christian beliefs, However, music remained important to him, and he aspired to become a music minister, but to be eligible for a full scholarship at Cincinnati Bible College, he needed to be a high school senior. He also dreamed of one day playing for the Kentucky Wildcats basketball team for the University of Kentucky, when as a junior at Tates Creek, Littrell’s cousin and future bandmate Kevin called him out of his American History class and informed him of an audition for a fifth member of the Backstreet Boys, which he did over the phone at 9 pm on April 19, 1993. (the date might be needed)
  • Littrell changed plans, flew to Orlando the next day, and become the final member of the Backstreet Boys, but finished high school via correspondence courses like AJ, even though Brian got to go to high school, and returned for finals, graduating in 1994.

And as for personal life, I don't know if anyone read any magazine articles or done a web search, but I did found some corrected info:

  • Littrell has an older brother name Harold, a singer, actor, and model, and is a cousin of fellow Backstreet Boys member Kevin Richardson (His father Harold and Richardson's mother Anne are siblings). Like his cousin, he is English (20%), Scottish, some German but in 2019, a DNA heritage test revealed he's also Finnish (7.1%), Scandinavian (2.1%), and Irish, and Welsh (70.1%) descent.
  • When Littrell first moved to Florida two months after joining the Backstreet Boys, he met Samantha Stonebraker through her partner in the New Song ensemble and Littrell's bandmate, A.J. McLean, and started dating. It was McLean who played Cupid, matching Littrell and Stonebraker, a Kissimmee native whose family has deep roots there.[1] The relationship lasted four years (from 1993 to 1997) until a mutual split in ‘97 and Littrell even lived with Samantha's family for two years. She and her brother even made an appearance in the group's first video for We've Got It Goin' On. In 1998, after their breakup, she released the book What You Want to Know: Backstreet Boys Secrets Only a Girlfriend Can Tell, about their relationship and the Backstreet Boys. (It's actually in her book)[2]
  • Two months following the breakup of his relationship with Samantha, while on the set of the Backstreet Boys music video for their single “As Long As You Love Me” on June 15, 1997, Littrell met model and actress, Leighanne Reena Wallace who was an extra in the video. He dated her for two years before he proposed to her on Christmas night of 1999 (NOT Christmas eve), and their engagement, along with the engagement of cousin and bandmate Kevin Richardson to Kristin Willits, was announced on MTV in February 2000.[3] They got married on September 2, 2000, at Peachtree Christian Church in Atlanta, Georgia.[4] Both are committed evangelical Christians. On November 26, 2002, they had a son, musician/actor Baylee Wylee Thomas Littrell. Baylee appeared in the Broadway musical Disaster! in 2016, came out with his first single, "Don’t Knock It", in 2018 and release his first debut album, 770 Country, on November 15, 2019.
  • As of 2020, the family lives in Alpharetta, Georgia, near Atlanta.

So, with that being said, I believe I made my point but I would like an honest opinion on these.108.46.251.85 (talk) 07:01, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You haven't identified any specific errors in the article. (Correction, you pointed out that "Christmas eve" is incorrect and supported it with a source, so I've changed that.)
I believe you're trying to say that you disagree with the removal of some of the content, although most of the items you list are already covered (the article says Richardson is his cousin, Littrell's a devout Christian, lists his DNA results, mentions his son and his older brother, played in Little League, wanted to be a music minister, was too short for basketball, etc.). I think the article currently does a good job at summarizing his life and career, which is what an encyclopedia article should do. Fansites want to document every little detail about a celebrity, but that isn't what Wikipedia does. Schazjmd (talk) 13:20, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Schazjmd Hear hear. Agreed, Wikipedia is not a fansite, that's why I edited the page. I don't mean to be rude to previous editors, but several Backstreet fans expressed their disapproval of how the page was written - several unnecessary facts, and the grammar was appalling (Why start 'University of Kentucky' with a lowercase 'u'?)

Personal Life

[edit]

Okay, I was looking over the Personal Life on Brian Littrell and Everything is correct, but does anyone felt that the paragraph on Brian Littrell's personal is a little too short?108.46.251.85 (talk) 06:46, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Big Resources

[edit]

Okay, I'm still in shock that some of my research was removed, and I'm absolutely positive that the following resources weren't fan-made:

  • As a kid, he was oldest then his peers but ultimately the smallest and felt uncomtable about it. Despite that, he met best friend Chris Cawood and were inseparable ever since, hanging out together and play sports, such as football, soccer, baseball and basketball.[1] Littrell was skilled at sports, wanted to play soccer since coming home from the hospital but his parents wouldn't let him do to his heart condition, so he got into basketball[2] and played in both Little League and the Babe Ruth League when he was 5.[3] He also likes to make people laugh by doing impersonations such as Donald Duck. [4]Growing up in a religious Baptist family, he was discovered by his church choir director singing soprano at age 6 and was encouraged and coached. He then sang his first solo in Porter Memorial Baptist Church at age 7, was already singing in the senior chior with his parents by the time he was 10 and was voted President of the Youth Chorus by his peers one year.[5]
  • At 16, he began performing at weddings and parties after Barry Turner, his choir teacher at Tates Creek High School, suggested he could make money singing at social events.[6][7] Aside from high school choir and Allstate Chours lineups for two years, Littrell also performed at his school talent show, performing a duet "Another Time, Another Place" with a female friend, gaining praise and lots of screams, cheers and roars from the girls[8], and in school plays including a production of Grease,[9][10][11][12] and worked at fast food chain Long John Silver's.[13]
  • At 15, Littrell had aspirations to become a basketball player and play for the university of kentucky[14], but at 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm) he struggled with his height which was hard on his selfesteem, and was seldom selected for high school tournaments[15], though he was the top star player on his church team which earn him the nicknames "Seaver" and "BRok".[16][17][18][19] He aspired to become a music minister,[20] but in April 1993 during a history class at Tates Creek, Littrell’s cousin and future bandmate Kevin Richardson called him out of an American History class and informed him of an audition for a fifth member of the Backstreet Boys. Littrell flew to Orlando the next day, met the rest of the band, auditioned and joined the group.[21] After joining, he head back home with Kevin for two days, pack up his truck, drove down back to florida[22] and finished high school via correspondence,[23] graduating in 1994.[17]

As you can see, there's more of Brian that I found the Backstreet Boys: Official Biography, such as his self-consciousness for his height growing up and how it affected his self-esteem, starting sports by the age of 5, making voices impressions, being coached by his church choir director, joining the Allstar Chorus and performing at his high school talent show, focus on playing for the University of Kentucky and being the top star on his church team, his nicknames being Seaver and BRok, and packing up his truck and driving down with Kevin back to Florida soon after joining the Backstreet Boys. There are more sources in career and personal life too:

Career

[edit]

In 1997, Littrell was instrumental in bringing a lawsuit against the group's creator Lou Pearlman, claiming Pearlman had concealed information regarding the group's earnings. Bandmates McLean, Richardson, and Dorough joined the lawsuit which eventually resulted in several settlements, details of which were not disclosed.[24][25]

During the band's hiatus, Littrell became committed to several other show business activities, most of them for charity. Littrell joined other celebrities in a yearly NBA tour where he plays basketball in every NBA city before a game. Aside from that, Littrell has also played charity baseball games. In 2000, he was among Teen People's 25 Hottest People Under 25, tying with Justin Timberlake of rival band *NSYNC.[26]

Personal life

[edit]

In 1997, following the breakup of his relationship with girlfriend Samantha Stonebraker, Littrell met actress and model Leighanne Wallace on the “As Long as You Love Me” video set in which she was an extra. They dated for two years, and Littrell proposed on Christmas 1999; the couple got married in September 2000 at Peachtree Christian Church in Atlanta.[27][28] In November 26, 2002, they had their son Baylee, who appeared in the Broadway musical Disaster! in 2017, released his first single, "Don’t Knock It" in 2018, and his debut album, 770 Country, in 2019.[29][30][31][32][33]

In 2019, a DNA heritage test revealed Littrell's ancestry to be 90.1% British Isles (20.7% English and 70.1% Irish/Scottish/Welsh), plus 7.1% Finnish and 2.1% Scandinavian.[34]

Health issues

[edit]

Littrell was born with a congenital heart condition, making him susceptible to infections. He was diagnosed with a heart murmur at 6 weeks old. At 5 years old, he was hospitalized for two months due to a bacterial infection from a knee scrap he had two weeks prior. Due to his hospitalization, Littrell was held back in school and had to repeat the first grade.[35] In November 1997, doctors found his heart condition had caused his heart to enlarge considerably, but he underwent open-heart surgery on May 8, 1998. He would later establish the Brian Littrell Healthy Heart Club, a non-profit organization assisting children with heart conditions through medical, financial, and practical help.[36][37]

In October 2009, Littrell became infected with swine flu, causing the cancellation of the Backstreet Boys This Is Us promotional tour.[38]

Littrell got the infection from a knee scrap he had two weeks before his hospitalization.

Religious beliefs

[edit]

As a devout Christian, Littrell has stated he believes it is the duty of Christians to be open about their faith, saying, "I think as Christians we need to join hands and mount up together and lift God up and talk about our faith publicly and talk about all of the things God has done for us in our life to touch other people."[39] At first he didn't enjoy it, but Littrell, who has been a born again Christian since the age of 8,[40] has said that he attributes his success in life to God, and that his faith has always been "the utmost important thing" in his life.[41]

He didn't like going to church at first before actually understanding how important it is to his family.

You see, everything I had written before the changes now has showcased some important details to the man's life, not fanmade or unsourced. As for the movie Megalodon, that his wife was in, he was a ridge worker in the movie, I can provide a video source as well as other info if you want.108.46.251.85 (talk) 21:34, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy article and resources

You're missing the point. This is an encyclopedia, it covers a topic without going into unnecessary detail. Donald Duck impressions...Really?

Actual news, not trivia

[edit]

Before I start reviewing what I misread or what I did wrong with my edits, I just wanna say that the news I found about Brian's uncle and aunt (Kevin's parents) are not trivia facts. I can promise you that they're not. Brian and Kevin are cousins (Brian' s dad and Kevin's mom are brother and sister), which is true and they are family, so the information and the sources I found about the two: Littrell lost both his uncle (Kevin's father) in August 1991 to cancer[1] and his aunt (Kevin's mother) in January 2022[2], are actual news that I found with the sources from today.com and YouTube.com, and not really trivia. I promise you. Thought I should let you all know. 108.6.204.85 (talk) 00:55, 26 August 2022 (UTC) 108.6.204.85 (talk) 00:55, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
