BSB On The Billboard Music Awards

On Dec. 7th, 1998, the Backstreet Boys performed and received two awards at this year's show in Las Vegas, Nevada. After they were introduced by andy dick, there was a pre-recorded bit played on an overhead screen. The boys talked about the group, it was pretty cute...and funny. Then, there they were on a clear block thing that began moving towards the front of the stage as AJ began to sing "I'll Never Break Your Heart". They were dressed in suits with pink shirts or ties...it varied from boy to boy. Personally, I thought Brian's high collar was a bit much. When they got to the chorus, they stepped off the block and oh the screams. ("Oh My God!!!! They can walk!!! Aren't they awesome?!?") The music changed up and five male dancers with hats joined the boys on stage as they went into "All I Have To Give". Nick and Brian sang their parts and they all did the dance. After the chorus, they went into the hat dance and all i can say is wow! It was totally flawless. you could hear gasps in the audience, hoping that they wouldn't flub up and drop the hats (or maybe that they would). They finished off the song. I just have to say that this was an awesome performance. I loved the hat dance, but i would have prefered it if they hadn't sung "I'll Never Break Your Heart". Hey, i'm Canadian. It was first released here over two years ago and they performed it on every show they were on during the summer and the fall.
