I arrived at the concert hall about 3 hours before the start of the concert. There was a huge line, but there were also many people after me, so I didn't mind. We didn't have to wait very long, because the doors opened when we arrived. So after about half an hour, we could enter the concert hall. And then it was a question of who would get the best place. Running and pushing, I ended up right in the middle of the hall, but I could see things well, since there was an opening in the middle to transport fainted fans (which were many). After waiting for too long of a time, the first support act started. Some girls were singing, shouting they love BSB and things. After half an hour of that, there was the 2nd support act, Peter Andre. He's a hot guy, some of the girls came especially for him. Well, he sang for about 20 minutes and then the big waiting started. But after half an hour, yes, there they were, the Backstreet Boys!!! They started with I Wanna Be With You, and after that they sang Anywhere For You.

Then Kevin introduced all the boys and the screaming was very loud. After that they showed they can actually sing. The acappella version of Shai's If I Ever was awesome, and the high tones of Howie were great, as were the vocals of Brian, Nick and AJ. One of the other highlights of that evening was of course I'll Never Break Your Heart. There were 3 girls (as always) who were allowed to come on stage, and dance with Kevin, Howie and Nick. Boy were they lucky! They also sang their song Christmas Time for the very first time. They wore red Santa suits and there was snow falling and a Christmas Tree on stage. Well, after many songs, the boys were intending to leave, but Nick and Kevin stayed. Nick sat down behind the drum kit and Kevin played the keyboard, and they sang the Elton John song Don't Let The Sun Go Down. After a lot of 'We Want More' shouts, the rest of the boys appeared again and they sang a few more songs, We've Got It Goin' On and Get Down. When they had finished that, the show was really over. This was one of the greatest evenings of my life!
