Review:

Hey everyone! How yall doin? Im great cuz last night (10/20/99) I went to the Backstreet Boys concert in Los Angeles, California. Im gonna give away a few secrets, so if you are going and you want to be surprised don't continue reading. They had 2 opening acts, Mandy Moore and EYC (Express Yourself Clearly). I didn't like Mandy Moore that much but EYC was pretty cool I guess. Then a few minutes later, they showed the Sears commercial. After that people started to notice a black box. Every now and then a pair of hands popped out. About 10 minutes later they came flying out on their surfboard things. It was on the other side of the forum, so I couldn't see them that well. Then they broke out into "LTL". I cant remember what order the songs were in, but I remember some special things about some. "INBYH" started off in the Spanish version then they changed to the English version in the middle of it. They made it to be such a smooth transition. At the end of "ALAYLM" they did their 'famous' "chair routine". It was cool because they extended it so they could do some on each side of their stage. In the middle of the stage Kevin came up playing his piano then they all started to sing "BTYH", which Kevin co-wrote. In "TPF", which Brian wrote, they each had a mother and daughter with them while they circled the stage singing the song. As they usually do, during "AIHTG" they did their 'hat routine'. I don't remember which song, but they all came out on these cable things and they were flying around. Nick was facing me and he was trying to catch stuffed animals so he can throw them out in the audience. Notice how I said he tried. During another song, I don't remember which one, they were climbing and playing around on these metal things. When they were performing their next song, these worker guys were taking them out. But one got stuck (haha). It took 2 guys and a few minutes to get it out. The concert was full of costume changes, a lot of dancing, and great music played by the Backstreet band. Then when everyone thinks its over, the music of "IWITW" starts playing and the boys come back out for an encore. At the end where AJ says "cuz I want it that way" all he went to was "cuz I want it that" then a minute later Nick and Brian sang "way". It was cute.

Here are some things about each of the boys:

Nick- He has gotten more buff. When he had his shirt on that had no sleeves you could see his new, beautiful muscles.

AJ- What cant you say about AJ. He's wild, sexy, and funny. He had the best hats. Someone even gave him a cool new hat.

Brian- Sweet, caring, Brian. He was cool through the whole thing. He was looking good as usual.

Kevin- With his big muscles and great piano playing, he was great all over the stage.

Howie- Sweet-D. They don't call him that for nothing! With his muscles and sweet smile he added to the great show.

Overall, the show was the BEST. If you had the chance to go to it, you know what Im talking about. If you have any questions feel free to e mail me.
