It finally happened, after 10 years of fantasising, obsessing and being downright crazy about them. I finally went to a BSB concert.
..and they were amazing.
Still full of life and energy. Still the amazing performers I fell in love with when I was 10.
Still harmonising, still leaving me breathless with their melodies...
Still dancing, and doing little numbers. Still playing their drums and guitars.
I was quite far back, on the ground floor, so I couldn't see much.
But, the show started on time, and someone popped up on stage, and introduced the show...
No one gave a damn, but I recognised the voice.
Howie.
He introduced his new talent : George (I really need to MySpace him).
George is amazing. Quite possibly BSB material.
He can dance, sing, and play the guitar and piano.
...and he's gorgeous!
He sang a few numbers, did the typical thing of bringin a girl up on stage and singing to her... sang one final song to which he played the piano... and left...
Then came the wait which seemed to last for, like, two hours! Everytime we saw movement on the stage, or changes in the light we'd start screaming. We being Me and Kenan... Everyone else was so boring! Except for the gay guy behind me; he was amazing.
After the stupid wait, everyone just started standing up and clapping, and Kenan and I just started screaming. This was it... I had been waiting for this moment for over 10 years.
The Boys were Backstage, and were shown/introduced one by one on the big screen. They were all dressed up as boxers and had the Eye of the Tiger music playing.
Then the lights went up, and they were in a boxing ring. Seriously, these guys never fail to come up with something random.
I can now say, with my hand on my heart, that BSB are entertainers. Not only did they sing, they danced, joked, incorporated songs such as Kanye West's Stronger and Micheal Jackson's Beat It into the show... I was on my feet the whole time.
Apparently, they're touring in America in three years' time, and I'm definately going to be prepared to follow them.
