Date: Mar 09, 2000 By C. Bottomley The Backstreet Boys, Sting, Enrique Iglesias, D'Angelo and voice of the valleys Tom Jones have all been confirmed as performers on the VH1 special Men Strike Back. It seems the guys feel their manhood has been threatened by the proliferation of divas over the past two years. The show will be broadcast on VH1 on Tuesday, April 18 at 9 PM ET. The concert promises to be as memorable as any Divas event - and it will have added testosterone, too. The atmosphere of Madison Square Garden will be rich with expensive after-shave when the show tapes at the New York venue's theater. As the special will be on VH1 one week after the VH1 Divas 2000: A Tribute to Diana Ross, audiences will have a chance to compare the male singers of the species with their female counterparts. Eyes and tongues will be glued to the screen when the Backstreet Boys take the stage. Their first two albums have sold 50 million copies worldwide and Nick, Kevin, Howie, Brian, and A.J. are five of the most ogled faces on the planet. Brian and Kevin recently broke several thousand hearts when they announced their impending engagements to their long-term girlfriends. No wonder their latest single is "Show me the Meaning of Being Lonely." Sting isn't lonely, no matter what he might have sung with the Police. The bass-spanking singer has reportedly kept his No. 1 Diva, Trudie Styler, happy with his tantric sex practices. He's also helped save the rainforests, sold millions of copies of solo albums like Brand New Day, and memorably died as Feyd in the classic 1984 film Dune. D'Angelo's midriff and belly button (he's an innee) will be familiar to VH1 users from his revealing video for "Untitled (How Does It Feel)." The sultry soul superstar recently went to No. 1 with his sophomore album Voodoo. D'Angelo has already become one of the most lauded singers of the new millennia for his falsetto vocals and classy arrangements. Enrique Iglesias is one of the hottest Latin stars today, if you discount a certain Mr. Martin. His anguished vocals made a No. 1 hit of "Bailamos;" he's sold 17 million albums worldwide; and he's rather tasty looking. But are his soccer skills as good as his famous dad's? Maybe someone will throw a ball onstage so we can find out. And what can you say about Tom Jones? Only that he is a legend. And like every legend, the "It's Not Unusual" singer has the usual new release. Reload features Jones singing it up with such starry luminaries as Robbie Williams, the Cardigans, Van Morrison and the Stereophonics. Sounds interesting. Did we get it right? Tell our news desk what you think about the male divas. Just send an email to newsmaker@vh1mail.com. Then set your video recorders and don't move from that sofa. Men Strike Back is coming to your TV set on Tuesday, April 18 at 9 PM ET/PT. You have been warned.
