THURSDAY
was probably one of the funnest nights of my life.
At Mohegan Sun (which is a shitty place for anyone under 21), many teenage girls crowded to what would become a concert of huge amusement. Backstreet's Back, ALL RIGHT!!!
=D The samples above are "Larger than Life" (I think) and "I Want it That Way."
Don't believe what others say, though Kevin will be missed, the Backstreet Boys are still kicking and sounding great. From one fan who witnessed this concert, "Geez, they should have got rid of Kevin a long time ago; they sound great." And at the concert, there were so many flash cameras and phones going... it was cool.
Opening was the not-so-great GIRLICIOUS, though there was a lot of energy by "Like Me" and the sassy girls asking the crowd to give it up for the boys, er... hm... men!
After a 20 min intermission, the guys came out, all four of them, scantily-clad in boxing outfits. I don't care what people say, these men in their mid-30s or late 20s are still piping hot. This is evident from the $10 poster my cousin bought from the concert.
=D
=D
Starting out was "Larger than Life" which partially segued into "Stronger" (original rap by Kanye West). I loved the fact that they sang many of their older songs, "Everyone," "All I Have to Give," "I Want it that Way," "Backstreet's Back," "The Call," "Show me the Meaning of Being Lonely," and others.
They also sang "Inconsolable" and "Incomplete." There were newer, great songs but on a deeper inspection, do these guys have much hope for the future...?
Brian sure does. The boys all hit with their own solos but Brian was definitely enjoyable with his sincerity and his cute humor.
=(
Honestly... my mom was right, it was so fucking loud that it wasn't too enjoyable but the seats and bleachers were literally moving from all the excitement. From the 9 year olds girls screaming behind us, the nonchalant punks with glowsticks who slowly started feeling the music, the drunk 40 year old women listing off the proof of their fanaticism, the older Indian man standing and blocking my mom's view, the lone Asian guy standing with arms crossed, and the gay man taking off his shirt and grinding on his neighbor, it was apparant that the Backstreet boys has never lost their charm. The time they shine and where they are in their prime is on the stage. *heart*
But the best part was my ticket was free free free!!! All paid from my dad the gambling mongol... T-T
