Hi everyone, Yesterday I was lucky enough to go to the Party in the Park concert in London's Hyde Park. I had an amazing time! When I arrived at Hyde Park, a lot of people were already there. My friends and I found a place on the grass to sit which was pretty near the front, so we had quite a good view. There was a long wait until the show started at 12:30, and BSB would not be on until 6-00 so I had even longer to wait for them! Finally, the show started. The other artists were great, the whole concert was amazing. If anyone has questions about the other artist's performances, you can email me. The only bad thing was the rain. It didn't rain the whole time, but there were a couple of long heavy showers that drenched everyone, and the umbrellas blocked the view of the stage. Luckily, it wasn't raining when BSB came on. There was a delay before BSB came on due to some technical stuff, but eventually they came on stage and the crowd was screaming and cheering for them. First of all, they sang the two songs with Elton, or 'EJ' as they called him! They were really into it and looked happy, not at all nervous about being in front of 100,000 people! Then Kevin started to talk, saying why AJ wasn't there and that they had EJ as his replacement for the day. They then went into The One, which the crowd loved. The fourth and last song then came, I can remember Kevin saying "We want the sun to shine, cuz we want it that way," (it wasn't raining at that point and was quite sunny) and went into I Want It That Way. I think that was the best performance of the day, the crowd were singing along and the guys were messing around on stage, especially Nick. He went and sat at the bottom of the stage by some people and was talking to them or something, then went and sat at Elton's piano and pretended to play. He was so cute! The guys sounded as great as ever, and looked hot! Kevin has still got his longish hair which was slicked back. He wore a kinda half-skirt thing over trousers, but it looked good. I noticed what I think was his wedding ring. Howie and Brian looked like they usually do (very nice) and Nick looked the best. He was wearing a jacket and white shirt, and a cross necklace, and I noticed a new gold ring on his middle finger of his right hand. He was smiling and acting cute all the time, he looked healthy. His hair is growing out, but he still wears it brushed forwards, it looks really nice (but not as nice as the spiky 'do) It's kinda like it was when he was turning 17. The Boys and 'EJ's performance was the highlight of the whole show (well, for me anyways!) and my mom recorded ther TV coverage so I have watched it since I got home. The show will be shown in most countries across the world during the next few months so I hope you all get to see it too. If anyone has any questions about the show, email me at nicks_shark_babe@yahoo.com and I'll try answer them. KTBSPA! ~Lucy :-) http://www.angelfire.com/nc2/bsbfanfiction/

After singing "Nikita" Elton said "It's my pleasure to be singing with these guys, I'm such a fan, they're the best". Well that was two of Elton's songs performed, one thing that even a non BSB fan would have realised was that there were four memebers! Where was AJ?!?! Kevin explained after the two songs that everyone may have realised that there were only four of them and to stop rumours spreading of them breaking up he told everyone why AJ wasn't present. AJ's grandfather had serious surgery and he's stayed with his grandfather so he couldn't make the concert (don't know if you already knew this). So, two of Elton's songs performed, two left to go, "The One" and "I Want It That Way". Instead of AJ, the guys had a new member under the name of "EJ" (Elton). I must say Elton handled it pretty well! I don't know if you get that much mail from guys, but I must say that the guy's music is great and they have my respect. They can sing even though they had earpieces for the concert, but that was for Elton's songs, once they sang their own they took out the earpieces and sang in true live style. You may have seen "Alan (some guy)", in the "who wants to be a millenniumaire" board, that's me, I seem rather obsessed, huh?! Oh well I don't swing that way lol, great music though! My CD collection: www.geocities.com/musicfreak3k/bsb.jpg I can't help noticing Nick's laugh after Kevin says "We want the sun to shine because we want it that way". One thing I should add was that in the morning the weather wasn't too bad, coming into the afternoon it started raining but all the acts sang and the crowd were up for it even though there were 100,000 people most with umbrellas. Come 6pm-ish when the guys come on it starts to brighten up and the sun shines! Talk about the power of the Backstreet Boys! KTBPA Alan (16yrs,UK)
