Thanks to APG for translating. BSB told today to the press that they are very honored to do their concert in Maracana where big stars such as Frank Sinatra have played. They also promise two changes for the show in Brazil: the stage has been modified due to technical reasons, and they are adding two songs to the show

They played all 45 minutes with the press, specially Brian, who was whistling to the microphone and imitated Donald Duck

The boy band also received a platinum record from the hand of fans who won a radio promotion and they took pictures with them.

The other news was about their lookalikes who met them today

BSB did a double take when they saw them enter the press conference and Brian said something about never having seen anybody that looked so much like them and they also took pictures together.

Fans do everything they can to be near the Backstreet Boys but some show behavior that does not please the musicians.

When asked about the teenagers that are camping out in front of Anhembi and Maracana, Kevin said that they are worried about the fans safety. They are not eating well and are sleeping away from home. When the time comes for the show, which is the important thing, they will be feeling sick and will faint, they will not be able to enjoy anything, he said.

About 2000 fans got together early this afternoon in front of the Sheraton, in Rio DE Janeiro, where the stars are staying.
