The following review was written by Jami for the May 4th concert in Moline, IL.
******
Okay, here's the deal. Candace, Lori, Amanda, our friend's Racheal and Dannetta, my sister Traci and Amanda's sister Chrissy and myself all went to the concert in Moline, IL. It's a LOOOONG drive from where we live. Anywayz, we are all in this 15 passanger van and we are talking about the concert we are going to see. We are very very calm the whole way up there. Then as soon as we got into Moline, Amanda starts in about how they are breathing the same air as we are and how they are in the same town. By this time we have pulled up to the hotel, The Radisson, right next to the mark. We all jump out and start screaming and jumping around. Then we realize we have to be on the other side of the Radisson so we all pile back into the van and drive around. Then we repeat the jumping and screaming again. I look up into the window of the Radisson and we see a couple girls at the window jumping up and down and waving posters. We start screaming and waving and showing our posters to. Then we go inside. We walk around and stuff. Now here's the cool part. I got to go to a meet and greet because of the Make-A-Wish foundation of Iowa. My mom and I were the only ones of our group to go back. It took forever but finally I was back there. Now, I have to say this...these guys are totally gorgeous in person too! My first thought when I saw them was that they were walking, talking posters. They look just like the posters. Anywayz, we had a question and answer session. And when the first girl stood up that's when it was our cue to sing happy birthday to Lance. He blushed nicely. =) Then I got to ask the last question. I stood up and that's when everything left my head. So I asked something about the Des Moines concert the night before. Then we got to have one thing autographed and we went up in rows. When I got up there I handed my picture to JC for him to sign. I had a note for him too. Then I asked him if I could shake his hand (by the way, I'm not lying when I say this, but JC looked me up and down and he smiled at me some during the question and answer session, no joke), he said it would be HIS pleasure. After I scraped myself up off the floor I handed my picture to Chris. He signed it and I asked if I could shake his hand. He laughed and said sure. Then he handed my picture down to Justin and winked at me. Then Justin smiled at me and signed my picture and shook my hand. (That's about the time I was a bumbling idiot). Then Joey signed it and I shook his hand. Then Lance signed it and I shook his hand and wished him a happy birthday. Then I left. The concert was the best ever. Non stop action. The opening acts Blaque and Tatyana Ali were awesome. I loved every minute of it. I'll write more later. I just now got the European CD in the mail and I have to go listen to it. Til then. Oh, and if Beverly and her friends see this....HI!

Here's a review of the same concert my friends and I went to. It's written by Hollie:
Here's some type of a review of the concert and before the concert.
When my friend Dani called me and said there was a way to get some tickets I screamed. I wanted to go to their concert so badly. I could have gone the year before when hardly anyone knew them, but my mom wouldn't help me get the tickets.
On our way to the concert, the little girl that was in the car with us was telling us about her dreams. Joey and doughnuts, that's all she talked about. But anyways, at the concert we say a ton of girls standing outside waiting for something to happen. We had no clue, but we did know it had to deal with N SYNC. We decided to go inside and find our seats, which were at the very top. It kinda sucked, but we could see everything.
When the lights went out, girls just started screaming. A group came out named Blaque. They had some good music, but we couldn't understand it up at the top. It was interesting hearing them say that they had a pair of one of the N SYNC member's boxers, shirt, and something else.
Then after they went off, Tatyana Ali came on stage. That was cool. She had sung a few songs then left. The songs were cool. I really like "Day Dreamin". At least I think that's what it's called. Then there was intermission. That seemed to take forever.
When the lights went off, girls just screamed at the top of their lungs. I had to plug my ears from the noise. I think Dani and I made these girls next to us mad because we were screaming so loud. But you know, why wouldn't you scream? The coolest group was coming on stage. There was nothing but darkness and screaming for like 5 or 10 minutes. At least it seemed that.
A monster looking creature appeared on the stage lit by a black light. The monster did this walk and dance. His limbs also fell off and danced around. Then he disappeared. Five ninja figures showed up on the stage, still being lit up by black light. They did this dance and some ninja stuff. They grabbed the sticks that were towards the back and did a show like STOMP. Twirling the sticks, pounding them on the ground, ninja moves, and tossing them to each other. Then after that, that's when the really cool part of the concert begins. They show themselves!
I'm not good at remembering what songs they sang, but I do remember what they did. Since it was Lance's birthday, everyone said "Happy Birthday Lance!" And I remember they put bunny ears on one of the guards.
I was really jealous of all the girls that were on stage for a song or two. I think the coolest part of the concert was when they flew above the crowd. That was AWESOME! I wish I was on the floor. Heck, I wish I was on the stage with them.
But before that part they did this flashback thing. I laughed at the 70's. I couldn't tell who was who really. It was cool when they sang "That Thing You Do" Each member playing an instrument. We laughed at one of the flashbacks where Joey kind of look like a pimp or something. In between each decade they showed a few clips of stuff. Our seats enabled us to see the big screen because of the speakers. But Dani and I jumped behind our seats and walked behind a few other people and watched the big screen for their video. I can't think of the song but I heard we can now vote for it on MTV's TRL. But anyways, that was a very cool concert and would go again, anytime. There was way much more at the concert, but I don't remember it all since I was getting sick.
