There are a number of different articles and reviews in this bulletin.
I was at the Shania Twain taping for the CBS
Special in Miami at Bayfront Park and I just wanted to let you guys know
how it went. (Oh yeah, if you wanna see the guys on TV, it'll be aired
on March 3 at 8PM on CBS) Well, the Backstreet Boys were there of
course! And they looked SOOOOOO GORGEOUS!!!! Me and my best friend
were there at 6:00am because it was general admission so it was like
first come first serve kinda thing. And believe me, it wasn't fun
waiting that long and being shoved around and stuff.
Well, we were like
the 5th people there so we were near the front of the line, which is
good! They opened the gates at 4:00pm, so we were waiting for a LONG
time. In the morning, me and these two other girls wanted to check out
the hotels near by and back of the stage (not backstage, I wish!) We
checked out the Hyatt Hotel first and we were sure that they weren't
there because some of the employees told us, and they didn't really look
like liars either. Then we went to this other hotel that was RIGHT next
to Bayfront Park, (which we should have checked first) it's where the
little concert was being held (oh yeah, it wasn't an indoor concert, it
was an outdoor one.)
Well, it was called something "Continental." I
forgot the name but it was a VERY nice hotel (hey, it's the Backstreet
Boys! Of course they can afford one!) We went in and looked around and
we were SURE they were there because there were event staffs,
securities, and bodyguards everywhere. But we didn't go up to the rooms
or anything like that because we were kinda scared. If I'm not
mistaken, they were in the penthouse suite. One of the securities we
were talking to, told us. He also said that AJ, Nick, and Brian were
really nice because they went up to him a day before the concert (when
they were doing their sound check) and were really polite and talking to
him like telling him to get ready for a VERY crazy concert and stuff
like that! Cool, huh?!? (And boy were they right!)
Then we left and
checked around the place they were having the concert in (Bayfront
Park.) We met a lot of securities and talked to them for a while but
none of them knew who the heck the Backstreet Boys were. My only
expression to them was "How could you not know them???" Oh well, after
a while we got kicked out by this stupid supervisor! He said how we had
to leave because the area has now become a private area or something
like that. So we left and went back in line. (And we didn't see ANY
Backstreet Boy either!! That sucked!) We waited in line for like 9
HOURS in the HOT sun!! And trust me Miami is HOT AS HELL!!!
Then it
was FINALLY time to open the gates (at 4:00pm.) Well, actually they
tried to organize everyone by getting them in a line or something. It
was such a hassle because they had people skipping and pushing. And
those people who did skip got back, WAY back, in line. (Now that wasn't
fair cause those people just came and they think they can come out of
nowhere and just get in front of people who were there till 5:00am.
Gosh, people these days!) Oh well, so when the securities finally
opened the gates EVERYONE was running and pushing. Me and my best
friend were still together. It was a miracle, with all
those people running and stuff. We made it to like the 3rd row or
something but these people in front of us started to leave because I
guess their mother got those special passes for them so me and my best
friend made it to the front in the far right side (there was like a BIG
gap between the stage and the people with tickets. I guess only people
with special passes could enter that area. DARN! I wish I was there!)
Well the guys were there and they did a little song for everyone. All
the people were screaming. The guys were in their regular clothes, and
no make-up either. And they were still very GORGEOUS! They sang "All I
Have To Give" and did it soo well too! I was really excited because
that was my first time seeing the guys, in person! Then after Shania
did like 2 songs and had to do it again, the guys came out in these nice
clothes and they sang "All Have To Give" on stools. I was screaming
REALLY loud for AJ because he's like my favorite and stuff. He looked
like once and waved. And I will always remember that moment for the
rest of my life! He looked soooooooooooo FINE!! =)
Then Shaina Twain
came out in this really pretty blue dress, I think she's worn that
somewhere before but I couldn't remember where. The guys were really
funny, they said she looked like a mermaid and Brian was jumping up and
down making fish faces. Totally cute! She sang "From This Moment On"
with the guys and they had to do that like 5 times because I guess some
director didn't like it. But nobody mind because, hey, it's the
Backstreet Boys!!
Well after that they left and me and my best friend
decided to leave the thing and see if we can try to catch them and
stuff. We went to the back of the stage thingy, and we saw like a
couple of girls there (they also said how the guys left and they think
they saw AJ's, Brian's, and I think Nick's girlfriend in the car.)
Well, that was my full day at the Shania Twain taping. Even if I didn't
get to meet the guys personally, I had a blast! And I would do ALL that
again just for the Backstreet Boys because they're the BEST! Can't wait
till that Charity Game on Nick's birthday. I'm sure it's gonna be a
blast!!
