Backstreet Boys Rock!
What really happens when the lights go down!
Their videos may be stupendous, their CD totally hot, but Backstreet Boys' shows are just simply mind-blowing! Seriously! Ask anyone who's ever seen Nick, Howie, AJ, Brian and Kevin in concert to describe the experience and they'll suddenly enter into a strange state of BsB bliss! Backstreet Boys have performed everywere from super-huge 50,000-seat stadium shows in Europe to a capella in-store gigs, but one element remains the same - they will draw you to them like a magnet to steel! YLou will feel as though they're singing just for you - and the wild thing is, they are!

Let's Get It On!

Usually the guys start the night off with one of their sure-to-make-you-hyper dance numbers - maybe "Get Down (You're The One For Me)" or "That's The Way I Like It"! Whatever they select, it's as if fromt that moment on you're totally possessed by their smiles and tender, yet powerful voices! Their infectious, high-energy groove takes you over! You need to dance, you need to scream, you need to... Aaaaaaaahh!!! It's like nothing you've ever experienced! But wait - that's just the beginning!

They tell funny stories and talk to you about personal stuff - and suddenly you realize they're having just as much fun as you are! One of the guys, usually Howie, introduces you to the band, always including their adorable nicknames: Brian "B-ROK" Littrell or Nick "Chaos" Carter! They do a lot of funny things too! Like the time Nick had fans roaring with laughter when he pretended to push Howie off the stage! Or the times when their crew has some fun with them and Backstreet Boys plan their revenge! The best part about these little prank sessions is that they tatally make you feel included - and that feels sooo special!

We Want More!

To enhance the mod during a slower song, such as "Anywhere For You," the Boys' are sure to turn the lights down low. Yet during up-tempo songs, you're caught up in the brilliant flashing lights, strobes and smoke! Yes, smoke! It's generated from a special machine and adds an overal dreaminess to everything! And song after song, the Backstreet Boys rock, pour out their hearts, dance with chairs (yes, chairs!) and bare their souls. Watching them is one of the most moving experience you can ever have.

Then, rather suddenly, you realize the show you've been anxiously waiting forever to see is slowly, but surely coming to an end. You know that feeling? It's sorta like that moment on your birthday when you unwrap your last present and you feel a strange mixture of sadness and happiness all at once. The guys start to wind things down by thanking you for coming to see 'em and for supporting them. Funny thing is, you're like, "No, sweethearts. Thank you!"

But just when you think the show is all over, Backstreet Boys surprise you with an encore! Yup, the Boys do one or two more songs - which is completely fine by you! As they say their final good-byes, they remind you that they will be back. And you know they will! "Keep The Backstreet Pride Alive!" they say, and you take that good feeling home - along with all your luscious memories!
