Honestly, Chris’ passing didn’t hit me until I saw this tribute. It hit me more seeing the clips of him and even more when I felt the absence of Chris’ voice in this song. The 9 year old me is completely heartbroken. RIP Chris 💔
Absolutely same! I saw all the posts about him, but this video was what made it really sink in for me. I'm thankful they did a tribute video for him, but it's made his death even harder for me to cope with in a way.
This was so beautiful guys, but we all know that was also NOT how we all imagined this reunion.... still can’t believe he’s gone. He’ll be missed. RIP. Stay safe, everyone ❤️🥺
Agreed. It's sad to think that it took the death of an old friend to get the guys back together, but at the same time also somewhat beautiful because it means they never lost their brotherhood for each other.
I loved Dream Street as a kid. I still listen today. Losing Chris was tough. He was a beautiful person. He had a wonderful heart. I will listen to Dream Street forever.
I’m a 28 year old man and I will admit this actually hits me right in the feels. I remember back in the summer of 2001 when these guys were advertised everywhere. My heart really goes out to the surviving members of Dream Street. RIP CHRIS
I remember those Summer 2001 infomercials and the Radio Disney airplay. It was one of those last innocent childhood moments before 9/11. I sometimes watch the "It Happens Everytime" music video to reminisce those days and seeing the Twin Towers on the BQE.
it seems like jesse is really trying not to break down crying when singing. so sad. this is one of the songs that defined a generation. may chris trousdale rest in peace.
@@Vrinara absolutely, however, Jesse stated his guilt. He and Chris lost touch because Jesse was envious of him. Chris still had a connection with the other guys. You can tell this absolutely is eating at Jesse though 😭💔
@@cmarie7016 It sounds very rough. Specially because I know that exact feeling. Lost a friend earlier this year in a car wreck, Had kinda lost touch. It's eating him. Poor guy. You have to feel for the others to. Frankie looks like he's about to ball.
@@Vrinara My heart breaks for all of them, but having been in Jesse’s situation myself, my heart hurts just a bit more for him. I know what it feels like to have that much guilt eat at you.
@@cmarie7016 Yeah I know the feeling to well. They all look like they are about to burst into tears. As I said earlier in a comment. it's like losing a brother or a family member.
It's actually hard for them to sing at this moment,having to lose a dear friend and growing up with him spending the years singing and representing Dreamstreet,brings a lot many memories, being emotionally hit is hard to digest,but the boys have a done a good job for Chris,💖
YcatsVlogs it’s not far there to good of a boy band and would do really good back together. wish they could get back together for the fans and for Chris Trousdale
Same here I was so heartbroken when I found out that Chris passed away But he will be In our hearts forever Because dream street fans stick together and we will keep Chris alive
Omg same! I didn't know it was going to hit me so hard but it brought me back to when I was 13 and that teenage year and with Chris not here it hits so different.
I had the opportunity to meet Chris while my daughter attended Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan while he was home taking care of his mother who was ill. First , what a selfless act for a young man to put his career on hold. Secondly, what a fine young man his mother raised. Thirdly, he was just an all around nice person and so very down to earth. He thought I needed one of his promo photos so he autographed it for me! I still have it. My heart breaks for his family. Rest in peace til we meet again.
Kelly Gibson after dream street broke up, he was like the only one who never had a career, But I really do think it’s a shame he’s gone, I hope the four surviving members do a reunion tour and the proceeds going to COVID 19 research.
So sad that it takes someone passing to bring others together again. Happy heavenly birthday, Chris. Thank you for your talent. I fell madly in love with you as a six-year-old and loved watching your talent grow as I got older. You will be so very missed!
It's tragic that we could never get a real reunion because the stupid label made a clause that when the band broke up, they could never perform together professionally again. Watching this is so beautiful and yet so devastating 😭😭😭😭😭
Absolutely sobbing. It had been YEARS since I cried the way I did when the news broke about Chris. Nothing has ever mattered to me quite like Dream Street, because nothing ever quite hits you like your favorite band when you're 14.
I was 11 when they came out and I feel this statement so much. My heart is shattered. Chris not only died but another piece of my childhood died with him. He was definitely one of my earliests crushes I crushed so hard on Justin Timberlake but he wasn't in my age bracket so when Chris (and Jesse) came up on the screen I immediately was like "Yeeees!" he's/they're cute and my age too! It just brings back so many memories....so many beautiful innocent memories of a time I wish so hard to return too. I wish Chris came back I wish no one died. This is just too too sad. 😪I'm crying so hard. This reunion is the most bittersweet thing ever. Rest in peace Chris.
The last time I felt this way was when I found out Tommy page, rich & Devin from lfo, and Stephen Gately of Boyzone passed. But hearing about Chris is heartbreaking. One as a fan, but also thinking of his mom. I lost my oldest daughter 13 years ago. :(
I haven’t been heartbroken over a celebrity death since Alan Rickmans & I thought I took that hard. Chris was one of my 1st celebrity crushes, I was 10 in 2000 when Dream street were together. I’m so heartbroken cause they posted this on June 11 which was Chris’s birthday. He would’ve been 35.
I was only 11 when I first heard Dream Street. They were like a younger version of backstreet boys. They had the talent in both singing and dancing. Kids made fun of me back then for liking a boy band. But in the end, I didn't care what anyone thought. Dream Street was my favorites back in those days. It's a shame that they broke up in 2002. If it wasn't for that lawsuit, they would've been at the top of the mountain. I'm now 30 years of age and still listen to them to this day. I didn't hear about Chris Trousdale's death from covid-19. until today. I was so shocked and sad. This covid-19 has taken away some amazing people. Chris has a great amount of talent even went on the voice and it was a damn shame that no one wanted him. Chris will be missed dearly and condolences to his family and those close to him. It's great to see them reunited, but I know they didn't wanna do this way. In the end, this was a beautiful tribute. We love you Chris, may you rest in peace. This shows everyone to take this seriously. This is no joke. Wear a mask, social distancing, wash your hand for 20 seconds, and stay protected. Stay safe everyone.
I was 13 when I first heard of Dream Street, they had to disband when I was 16. When I found a reunion video, I thought they'd still be social-distancing . . . how wrong I was. I, unfortunately, had no idea that Chris had COVID-19, nonetheless passed from it, until recently. Due to that, I'm ashamed of myself. R.I.P. Chris😭
I was either 12 or 13 when I heard them in 2003-2004. I still listen to their songs today. I’m 31 now. I didn’t know that Chris died two years ago until today, when I read comments on their “It Happens Every Time” original video when they were teenage kids.
OMG, I just saw the 4 remaining members of Dream Street did an instagram live together, they are on a ski trip with their wives. I believe it's the first time in like 20 years they've all been filmed together. It was so good to seem them together again talking about old times. I only wish they had done this before Chris untimely passing. Thanks for the memories Dream Street.
I've come back to this video about a hundred times since yesterday. I think at this point, it almost feels therapeutic to watch and cry. Dream Street literally defined so much of my obsession with music. They were the first band I loved and spent the time to learn every word to their songs. And, let's be honest, they were my first boy crushes as a little elementary school girl. I haven't thought much about them over the past several years, but I think in a way, Chris' death brought all of their fans together again and reconnected old memories. That's pretty special. RIP Chris.
I was so excited to see this video thinking Dream Street was doing a reunion video. Then I couldn't understand why Chris wasn't singing his part. Then I realized something was going on half way in. I was in complete shock at the end of the video. I'm so heartbroken. This is so sad. Beautiful job guys. R.I.P Chris. 😢
Not gonna lie, I cried watching this. Just heard about his death on a 90s throwback page. I’m glad the guys came together and did this tribute. After Aaron Carter’s especially, it made me want to check on all the singers who pretty much made my childhood memories. May his soul rest in peace 🙏🏽
I feel the same. It makes me so sad to see how hard he always worked to get his solo career going but it seemed no matter what he did nothing ever worked out for him. If he had just gotten the right support I know he would've been a huge star.
@@melatrude4269 Thank you! someone finally says it. People really take notice when someone struggles and fails. Rarely do those people help you out. I truly would love to give my whole heart felt condolences to his mother. She has witnessed his success and his struggle. She's been his number one fan. Im so sorry.
Has anyone else been going on a dream street reunion extra hard since Chris’s death? I’ve watched The Biggest fan about 10 times already.. I’m so heartbroken cause 10 year old me is dying inside.. one of my 1st celebrity crushes.. this is beautiful 😭💕
Same!!! I had the hugest crush on him during Dream Street when I was 4!! My first celebrity crush! I’ve been watching him grow from 4years old, to 5th-6th grade when I finally got a Facebook, and then to Instagram when I was 16🥺😭 I feel like a piece of me is missing!!! My 4 year old soul is breaking immensely!
I never got to see Dream Street in person when I was younger, so it was always a dream of mine to someday see all five of you at a reunion show and buy my own ticket as an adult... All those times I replayed the Dream Street Live concert and The Biggest Fan DVDs, all the scratches I made on my album because I took it everywhere in my CD player/the family van, all those hours I spent hanging out on message boards and fan sites on dial-up internet (omg lol), all the days I listened to Radio Disney, all the magazines I begged my parents to buy, all the countless posters I had on my walls... I'm sure there's more! haha but Thank you guys for the memories. I will forever cherish them! And of course you would make me cry at 10 and 30 😂 Happy Birthday Chris! Love you and rest easy ♥
I remember going with dad to get a summerfest guidebook at a local store that was a sponsor for the festival and he told me to pick some days out to go (we got 3 day passes for the family) and nearly screamed when I saw Greg was going to be there with Nikki Cleary and Radio Disney. Yes we went that day.
I clicked this video because I was like "YES REUNION"...now I'm crying at my desk because I didn't know what happened and there is a solemn tone to the song.
Yeah, I’ve seen you reply to like every video on RU-vid. I can tell your too young to have ever known who Dreamstreet was based on what videos you usually comment. Quit the theatrics. You weren’t crying.
You're literally everywhere I was gonna say hey you were a Dreamstreet fan too?! But like the above commenter said you do comment on alot of videos that points to being of 17 to 22 age group meaning you're too young to know Dreamstreet. Unless you did a quick search and became a fan within a few days or something. It just doesn't feel too genuine sis.
She may have an older sibling that listened to Dream Street and showed their songs to her. Maybe she heard about Dream Street from some of the RU-vidrs that are known to be fans of them. Chill.
Exactly 😔 it’s so sad that it had to come to this to bring them back together even just to sing one more time together. They sounded great but they were missing a great part of the vocals 😭
It’s_Champ_Boys From a NYT article written in 2002: That afternoon in the Galasso's living room, one member of the band is conspicuously absent: 17-year-old Chris Trousdale (the tanned fashion plate), **who took the side of the producers in the legal battle**. Like the other boys, Chris is a veteran of Broadway. (''I was in 'The Wizard of Oz.' I played lead munchkin, flying monkey, Emerald City person, and a poppy.'') Unlike them, he does not have parents who are worried about the producers -- his recently widowed mom was suffering from what she calls ''complete depression'' during much of the Dream Street controversy, and all the wrangling only made her more depressed. Pt 2- All I wanted,'' Helena Trousdale says, ''was for Chris to be able to have his career. We moved to New York for his career.'' While the other boys' careers have stalled, Chris's is booming. He recently signed with Columbia Records. He has a movie in the works and has appeared on Nickelodeon and at the Miss Teen U.S.A. pageant, where he sang a duet with the teenage-girl band Play. Chris describes intense competition among the boys of Dream Street to seem desirable to the girls. When he got a tan, the girls noticed, and the next thing he knew, one of the other boys would be tanned, too. When he got his hair tipped, that was copied as well. Talking to the other boys, it's clear there's jealousy and bitterness around the subject of Chris. Jesse ran into Chris at an audition for a Domino's commercial. ''He tried to hug me and act all nice,'' he says bitterly. Jesse remembers stiffening in his old bandmate's embrace. ETA: in other articles it’s clearly written they were all kicked out of their contracts BUT they were no longer allowed to appear as Dream Street or sing DS songs
So bittersweet, I imagine we all wanted a Dream Street reunion but not in this condition. Rest In Peace Chris Trousdale ❤️ Hopefully this situation brings you all closer again ❤️❤️
It's not just the vocal talent that's impressive but also the video editing skills. The 5 of you would have looked so awesome on stage coming together as adults. R.I.P Chris Trousdale.
This is such a beautiful tribute to Chris. I've listened to it over a dozen times in a row. Matt, Frankie, Greg and Jesse did an amazing job for this tribute. I bet Chris himself would have been very proud of his friends and former band members from Dream Street. R.I.P Chris. You will be missed and always in our thoughts and hearts.
This is so sad but so perfect at the same time. My first childhood crush was Chris Trousdale and I remember watching The Biggest Fan on repeat for the longest time. RIP Chris ❤️ also who knew Frankie would grow up to be the biggest stunner ever 😍
Beautifully and very well said. Also, ✋🏻…. me… I knew Frankie was gonna be very good-looking. Just like when they were younger. He was always my favorite😍 But I always had a soft spot for Chris❤️😪
It's been two years and it still gives me chills about how these four, after years of not performing together. Were able to bring this together so beautifully to honor their old friend. R.I.P Chris!
Edward Agosto My favorite is They Don't Understand like that beats sounds like Britney Spears Baby One More Time or The Backstreet Boys Larger Than Life
When I listened to that song before, it didn’t really emotionally touch me. Now, knowing that was in memory of Chris, had me on the verge of tears. RIP Chris. You were one of the many talented boy banders to walk this Earth.
I've been wanting a reunion tour for years now, just not like this. Still can't believe he is gone. This was such a beautiful tribute to an amazing person. RIP Chris. Happy first birthday in Heaven. He would of been 35 years old today. Hope he's singing and dancing up there.
RIP Chris Trousdale. I remember listening to this group back in the day in 2001, back when Jesse McCartney was in a boy-band. I'm glad to see that the former members decided to pay tribute by playing their best known single. What amazing friends, and Matt has definitely aged well and he still looks the same.
Heart breaking that Chris left us so early. My brother and I wanted to be like him all those years back but it feels like it was yesterday. He had such a bright presence in the band. God bless you Chris you may not be here anymore but your fans will never forget you.
I loved Dreamstreet when I was elementary school. Aww the memories, I'm sad to hear Chris passed away. This tribute was beautiful! #DreamstreetForever ❤
A reunion we always wanted but didnt expect it in a sad way. Chris is probably looking down all happy you guys did this for him and loving the support from all the fans. We will miss you chris you will always be loved ❤❤R.I.P Chris you will truly be missed
Thank you very much Jesse, Greg, Frankie, and Matt for this video. This video was very emotional and awesome. Rest In Peace Chris. RIP Chris. You will be missed. :(
I just found out about his death a whole week later, childhood memories of DreamStreet, watched the Biggest Fan a million times, RIP Chris you will be missed.
I read that Trousdale was actually having a pretty successful solo career. And it was taking off but he had to stop to take care of his mom who was ill. Then thats when he was trying to get back on track. I give him a lot of respect for basically giving up everything to take care of the person he loves the most, his mom. It’s tough to jump back on track after taking a long break. But he did it for a real important reason. I would of done the same. RIP Chris!!
Why the fuck are you lying? No he didn't. He was black listed after stabbing his band members in the back. His mom and his manager were the reasons behind the conflicts of the group. He had no solo career. He never put out an album. He never put out an EP. He never put out a single. He was dropped from his record label he had with Columbia. And he was pulled from every tour(Aaron Carter, Play, Boyz & Girlz, A*Teens) because of his douche manager and his attitude of being 'all that'. The best he could get were those telethon gigs. Also didn't even have a record label besides for that scam of a company, Spectra Music Group. Chris was barely making ends meet; he had two other roommates while living here in CA. He was constantly working three to five jobs an year just to afford to record songs and do a music video here or there. The good thing about Chris is that as he got older, he started to realize he was blacklisted. He became nicer, sweeter, more of a team player. It was too late. Damage was done. He was a good guy but sadly, his mom and manager f*cked him up when young.
@@sorrygoogle7460 relax yourself clown, I only looked it up I never said it was my fact. So before commenting, you should probably ask where I found the info.
@@sorrygoogle7460 I ain’t assuming playa, you are. Also idk where you read any racism but you prob should go back to english class and learn to read sentences. Goofy
@@YoMiggsTv Calls me ignorant in first comment and now you're saying African Americans who speak AAVE(African American Vernacular English) need to learn English and "read sentences". Trump has your vote, I'm sure, racist pos.
These five guys were on almost every single girls wall back in the day. They are still one the band's I listen to the most.We all wanted to see this reunions happen for decades it breaks my heart to see it happen this way. The most comfort that can be taken is that through the entertainment and the music they made together that even after death they will be remembered
Pretty much this song and my love for a boy band connected to just about every where I went in life, the people I meant, the connections. 20 years later and there’s nothing like it. RIP Chris. One of my best memories was when I went to a concert and stayed for the meet and greet. He’s like “I’ve met you, last year”. I’m like “yea I was at your show last summer”and he kissed me on the cheek. and was like “you just looked so familiar” Everyone was like Chris kissed her. Haha. Damn. I was a Jesse girl at heart but followed every boys career. And had a soft spot for Chris and had to see him when I could when he came to my home town.
I was 13 when this song originally came out and I was obsessed with this band. I only wish this reunion could have been under happier circumstances, but it was still beautiful. Rest In Peace Chris.
Très beau hommage à vôtre amis d'enfance, la génorité sincirité et vôtre amours n'a pas changer de tout ses années, fan de vous à mes 17 20 ans, m'a pousser aussi à chanter en amateur, j'admire la version acoustic toujours aussi belle cette chanson que je ne m'en lassera jamais de vous écouter, ravis que vous allez bien, Matt { Matthew } je vous adore, chacun vos styles vous avez parcourue du chemin, après adulte content le groupe est en bonne santé. très beau boys band, j'était très content de vous découvrir étant très jeune je ne le regrette pas.

Can’t believe he’s been gone for two years. RIP Chris! You are so missed. I hope you’re having the best time dancing in heaven! Thank you Jess for sharing this ❤️
Sad he is gone Chris was the main star to the band this was great music back in the Day it's sad he was taken from us due to coronavirus Rest well Chris RIP
RIP Chris Trousdale remember I wort to Chris and he wort back and I got a letter back with a signing picture happy birthday Chris his Memory still live on
OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!! I am 25 years old and I STILL listen to my Dream Street album! It brings me back to my childhood and makes me happy. I even still have my cd of it! Thank you guys for this!!!!! Definitely my new jam. YALL ARE MY SUGAR RUSH🍒💘💜 RIP CHRIS
You can say I’ve been denying it or whatever...but this video makes Chris’ death reality! I can’t imagine the pain the 4 of you guys are feeling not being able to be/grieve together bc of this insane virus! I am praying for y’all & his family! Stay strong fellas!
Only one missing is Chris , miss him . Thank u guys for doing this praying for you . And after all this time it still happens every time when I see u guys I melt. Rest in peace Chris we miss you ..
I got to meet Chris as a fan back when we were teenagers and he was so genuine. Time heals all wounds, but right now it still hurts. He’s gone too soon and will forever be missed. Thank You for this tribute. RIP Chris ❤️
😭😭😭😭 This isn't how i wanted to see everyone back together beautiful tribute for a great guy still listen to dream steet and im 30 and always will listen R.I.P Chris 😞
Ive watched their movie "The Biggest Fan" for 10 times now and it's still fresh to me that he died at age of 34. I love every song of DreamStreet that's why im so upset when Chris career go down plus when he's in The Voice those 4 chairs didn't even turn.
RIP Chris. My heart is broken. It’s hard to see this video. Chris was my biggest crush ever!!! His band mates did a very sweet thing for him. Love you Chris!!!!
I've never heard of Dreamstreet until I became a fan of Jesse but I'm definitely crying. That was so touching. RIP Chris Trousdale. My heart goes out to all his loved ones.
Wow middle school me went to as many meet and greets and concerts as I could. My mom made sure of that.this is so sad RIP Chris. I’m so sorry to hear this news.
This actually really hits hard right now because this was their lead single and Chris (the one who passed away) was the only one who did not have a solo in it. That makes this so much harder to listen to... 💔
I remember as a kid, this song being advertised on TV. When my mom was alive, I would watch TV while she was getting ready for work and the sun wasn’t even up yet. The Dream Street commercial would come on and I can recall the happiness I felt at 7 years old. RIP Chris Trousdale.
