My name is Ella and I'm 19 years old. I recently went to a BSB concert 5 days ago in Continental Airlines Arena and may I just tell you all that my voice is not back to normal tone yet due to my screaming. =) I am going to share my experience with you. I haven't written this before in my life so I hope it's not too boring for everyone.
I took my younger sister w/me to the concert that day. We woke up around 10:30 that day and we knew right there it's going to be a pretty long day for both of us. After we finished lunch, we got the camera and the films ready. Around 5:30, we are off to the Continental Airlines Arena. We got there around 6:30..got the car parked and we headed towards the main gate. We waited for about half an hour and suddenly my younger sister was
like.."Yo..sis..there are three tourbus over there by the gate. You think the guys will be in there?" We actually have a feeling that the guys might be in one of them. So we got our pen and the paper..maybe we can get their autographs. But the staff from the arena made us to go inside the arena. Oh Well!
We find our seats and we sat there for about 15 minutes. Even though our seats are in upper section, but we still have a pretty good view. Around 7:30, the lights inside the arena turned off. The host came out and introduced Rockell to the audience. She came out and she sang three songs. Then Nick's baby bro came out and sang 4 songs including "Crush On You", "Ain't That Cute" and "Shake It". He is so cute. Then we were off for a 25 minutes intermission break.
Around 8:45, the lights are off once again. We knew right there it's SHOWTIME. We are right. The audiences scream their lungs out immediately, including my sis and I. The guys started the concert off by singing That's The Way I Like It and jump right into Hey Mr. DJ. Then Kevin started by saying thanks for all our love and support to the group. Then they did a little dance on Too Close and It's All About The Benjamins. They are SO sexy. After that, the guys sang "If I Could Fall In Love Again" acapella. Each of the guys sang great. Then..each of them are off to their solos. Howie did a new song from the up-coming album. AJ sang Lay Down Beside Me. He is SO gorgeous. Then Kevin did this Nobody But You solo and it's my man's turn..BRIAN. He, Nick and AJ got the most cheers from the audience that nite. He started off by thanking the fans for all the prayers and love. He sang That's What She Said. He actually thought we don't know the lyrics of the song. Duh Brian! Then Nick sang this Heaven In Your Eyes solo. It shook everybody up in the arena. After that..they also sang Quit Playing Games, Darlin', As Long As You Love Me, All I Have To Give, their new single I'll Never Break Your Heart, Get Down, We've Got It Going On etc etc etc. When they sang WGIGO, someone from the audience gave AJ a Dopey Doll. Brian was having fun w/Dopey that he was clapping Dopey's hands and sang along w/Dopey and he got this BEAUTIFUL smile. He is SO fine. And during one song...Nick was having fun playing around w/the guitar. Brian took the guitar away from Nick and both of them give each other a CUTE look. So funny! Brian and Nick are constantly hugging each other too. Aww..Frick and Frack. After they finish INBYH, they are off changing. During that time, the Backstreet crew play the clips from Everybody. The audiences scream the hearts off once again. Then the coffins and stuff were brought onto the stage. Then Brian started his part of the song.."Everybody..Rock Your Body". All of us did their Everybody dance moves. The fireworks in the end was spectacular. It was great. I can't believe the concert was over at the point. I recommend to all of their fans to go see them in concert cos it's PHAT TO DEATH! Ella
