BSB in ATL- 1/27/01
Date: Feb 01, 2001
Submitted By: Becky
Well, I've read through most of the Atlanta reviews. I won't waste your time saying the same things.
I had an incredible weekend! My mom, my friend Miranda, our friend Sherry and I stayed at the Marriott Suites in downtown ATL...right next doot to the Four Seasons where the Boys were staying! The buses were parked in the lot right between the two hotels. It was exciting knowing that they were so close to us. We went to lunch at a place called Jock & Jill's at the CNN Center next to the Dome. We were getting ready to leave when all of a sudden, "We've Got it Goin' On" started blaring. Needless to say, we decided to stay for a while. They played the first album. We left during "Anywhere for You." It was so funny because there were so many Backstreet fans in the restaurant. Everyone was singing and having a good time. I was one of the more vocal ones! We caused quite a scene in that restaurant. It was actually a sports bar, which made the situation even more amusing
After we left there, we headed on over to the Georgia Dome. We heard lots of screaming, so we went running to the source. The buses were pulling in as we arrived. We stood there for a little while. I felt a little dumb screaming and waving and buses- having NO idea who was riding in them. Well, as another bus was pulling in, my eyes were directed to a rear window where the beautiful AJ McLean was peering out. I screamed and waved like crazy! It was so exciting. He was right there in front of us. My mom (who is 47 years old, by the way, and one of the biggest fans I know) was crying and shaking. It was so sweet. I have met Howie before, so maybe that's whay I was able to maintain a little composure. We had a blast.
Krystal & Nelly were OK. I couldn't hear them very well, though. There were some little girls in front of us who knew every word to every Nelly song. It was so funny. They were really getting into it! After what seemed like ETERNITY, the lights finally went down and the Boys appeared. It was surreal. The costumes were great; the moves were flawless. I was so pleased with the exception of one thing...the sound quality was rather poor. I couldn't hear them very well, especially when they were talking. They really need to work on the sound. That was rather disappointing.
Other than that, the show was terrific. They've done it again! Some of my favorite moments include:
-The wardrobe trunk was hilarious! I loved it when AJ & Kevin announced "Now it's the Kevin & AJ show!" after Nick, Brian, & Howie had already disappeared beneath the stage. Too cute!
-Singing "Happy Birthday" to Nick...twice! We sang once with Krystal and then again when the Boys were on the smaller, round stage. He was so adorable. OK...I didn't see the spanking Howie gave him. Sorry I missed that one!
-"Get Another Boyfreind" was the most impressive performance song. They were so energized. It was wild.
-"How Did I Fall in Love with You" was simply breathtaking. Howie is so talented. I am glad he had his moment to shine. Beautiful.
There is so much more, but everything is really a blur to me now! I hope everyone enjoys their shows. I can't wait to see the Boys again on the next leg!

Atlanta Concert Jan.27,2001

I just wanted to say that the Backstreet Boy concert in Atlanta was absolutly wonderful! The opening acts were good(I'm not a big fan of Nelly). It was great how they came out on stage amongst all of the fireworks going off. "Everyone" is the perfect song to start the concert off with because its a fan oriented song and that just goes to show just how much they care about their fans. Everything in between was great too especially getting to hear "What Makes You Different Makes You Beautiful" live was awesome. I really liked it when they took us live inside the dressing room,that right there makes it worth taking your camera in. Anyway all in all it was a great concert(my first BSB concert ever) so it was definitly worth the four hour drive from here to Atlanta just to be able to see them.

It was a Saturday night. Instead of vegging with my boyfriend like always I was chillin with my favorite five hotties(and my boyfriend). We sat through Krystal, who can't play the piano, and Nelly. The 6 yr old next to us had that rollin' thing down :). At exactly 9:17 they killed the lights for the last time and meteors began hitting the stage. Up popped the Boys and they launched into "Everyone" and "Larger Than Life". The acoustics were really bad in the Dome so it was hard to understand what they were saying when they were talking, but I understood the songs perfectly. Even my boyfriend got into it. Singing Happy Birthday to Nick was a trip. I guess it's not every year he has 40,000+ girls singing to him. They ended with "The Call", "Get Another Bf", and "Shape of my Heart". At 11:01 they were gone for another year and took the final bow of their 4th successful show in Atlanta.

Even before the concert started my friend and I saw this girl {actually a women} and when she turned around we were staring at her because it was Leighanne! She was only a couple inches away from me!!!! I ran as fast as I could, but only got a pic of the back of her head, but it was still so awesome to be so close to Leigh!! She is really petite , but she's really pretty! So even before the concert started I was already so excited! Then it was time for the show to begin!
I got so excited as the big earth appeared on the screen. Soon there were fireworks and there was what I had been waiting to see my entire life......the Backstreet Boys! As soon as they appeared on stage I started to scream my head off *LOL*. They started with the two songs dedicated to the fans. Everyone and Larger Than Life. The crowd was going crazy!!!!!! I was so happy when they did What Makes You Different ....because that is my fav. song! The singing was amazing and those boys looked HOTT!!! The cheoregraphy was absolutley flawless!!!
Also Shining Star was so amazing, but all the songs were! Then for some odd reason a buncha security guards gathered infront of my section. My friend and I were asking what they were doing and they said bsb were coming down there. Of course everyone began to freak out!!! Then on the big screen they showed bsb making I want it that way! Then before I knew it they came up on the mini stage. Like the into the millennium tour stage was! I was so excited because they were now SO CLOSE to me!!!!! Then the whole dome got to sing happy bday to nick!! it was so awesome! I could see Nick blushing! He's such a cutie =)!!! Of course I was screaming the whole time and I about passed out, because me being the smart person I am didn't get anything to eat or drink during the whole show!LOL! I forgot to put this before but it was so cute when they did the BSB wardrobe!
It was so funny cus at one time the camerea looked at Aj and he bent right over infront of it!LOL!!!!! I must say Brian looked and sounded like an angel! Of course all of them did! That was the best night of my life and I have BSB to thank for it! I know everyone will have a great time at their concert! I can't wait till they come back this summer!!!! KTBSPA!

I just got back from the bsb concert, and here is my experience. Its 12:53 and I should be in bed, but ... I am in such a good mood right now.
Around 4:30 the limo picked us up. It was so big, and it was black. It was so awesome. Then we went to pick up my friend, and then we went to the Ga Dome. Omg, when we got to the Ga dome, I was like... whoa... look at these seats. We had totally awesome seats. I snuck in 2 camera's. OMG! When we got there, we were sitting behind these girls and their dad. Their dad was not happy, and he was complaining the whole time. Everyone was doing the wave and stuff. We were all waiting for the concert to begin.
Krystal came out, and when she started to sing, she sounded so awesome. I think the guys are so smart for having her on their record label, she is gonna blow the music industry away. She looks kinda... interesting though. There was a white piano in the middle of the stage, and she played it. She is awesome. She did 3 songs. The first one was, "My Religion", the 2nd one was "Angel on my shoulder", the 3rd one was ... "Supergirl", and the last song was the Jackson 5 cover "I'll Be There". Omg, she sounded so awesome. I have so say, she sounded better than Mariah Carey does when she sings that. I was very impressed with her, and I am going to pick her album up as soon as it comes out. OMG! BEFORE I FORGET, she had us sing ... HAPPY BIRTHDAY to NICK. It was beautiful.
Then... we had to wait like 30 more minutes until the next act came out. Destiny's Child, wasn't there. They canceled. I was so sad. Anyways.... guess what opened instead? NELLY! You couldn't hear a damn word he said, and u couldn't hear him rap. They were on for like 20 minutes, and everyone was happy when he sang "EI" and "Country Grammar". It wasn't a very good performance, and I wish, they just had Krystal instead.
BEFORE... the boys came out (it was only like 3 to 5 minutes), I saw LeighAnne come out from backstage. Omg, she looked so pretty. She had on red capri pants, with a shirt that had red sleeves. She looked so pretty. She was giving people hugs, and she was signing autographs. Security was all around her. Then, when she got in her seat, they arena went BLACK. OMG! This is when the concert started.
The stage dropped down the cover over the main screen. OMG! It was so cool. They had like Earth and meterorites hitting the stage. They were actually sending really little fire balls onto the stage. It was awesome. It looked so real. I was screaming so loud, and I was freaking out. My friend Shaye and I were screaming together, and were like... WOW! Then... After the fire ball thingys were done, they came up in a thing of smoke. They were on like... 5 little stands. The order was, Nick, Howie, Brian, AJ, and then Kevin. Then they came to the edge of the stage, and Nick was wearing sun glasses. They were all wearing long back jackets, and then they take them off. OMG! OMG! OMG! Omg, he looked so awesome. Then... OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! They started with "Everyone". I was screaming and dancing. It was totally awesome.
Then after "Everyone" they sang ... "Larger Than Life". That sounded awesome. The guys looked awesome, and I was so impressed. Brian looked awesome during this. They did the original dance, and it was awesome. I really missed that song, its a goody. After that... they did... SHINING STAR!
Kevin really wasn't onstage for "Shining Star". I guess it takes him longer to change, or something. It was mainly AJ and Nick. Omg, Nick kept doing tons of pelivc thursts, and so was AJ. OMG! OMG! OMG! Nick also sat on the stage, and spread his legs, and touched his crotch *faints*. AJ kept lifting his shirt up, and doing pelvic thrusts. The dancers were like all over BSB and stuff. It was one of the best performances of the night. AHH! They looked so good. Oh and by the way, the guys pretty much wore leather. OMG!
After "Shining Star", Kevin came out, in all white, and introduced the next song "What Makes You Different Makes You Beautiful". OMG! OMG! OMG! Howie looked so good, and his voice is so sweet. I love him so much. I have always liked Howie, but tonight, he was up there with Nick. Howie and Brian looked awesome during this. The guys were all in white, and omg... they sounded so awesome.
Then Howie started talking to the audience, and was like, "How many of you have the Black & Blue album" and everyone was screaming. Then... they sang "Yes I Will". OMG! This is one of my favorite performances, they were still all in white, and omg omg omg omg omg omg omg they had these white/silver canes. They used those during the dance. Okay... u know when Nick says "As god as my witness" in that song... OMG! He squatted down, and was like throwing his hands all over the place. I was practically in tears. His voice is beautiful and its very emotional.
Then after "Yes I Will", they sang "More Than That".
They sounded so awesome during that. They were still in white, and looked awesome. Oh, I loved it. After they sang that... next came "I Want It That Way".
Then they sang "Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely". OMG! NICK... LORDY, *gasps for air*. AHHH! That song was so emotional.
During "I Want It That Way", everyone was on their feet and singing it. Everyone knew the words. It was so awesome. On the main screen, they had a picture of a flame from like a candle. It was cool. When Nick said "DONT WANNA HEAR YOU SAYYYYYYYYYYYYY", he did that squatting thing again. He did that in like every single song, honest. It's kinda cute. Omg, and I love his new tattoos. I could only see the one on his arm, but it was very nice.
They did "Not For Me", and omg... they looked so awesome. They did some heavy dancing in that, and they kinda acted out what they were saying, like "i found a note with his number", they were holding up paper and stuff. It had a red and black background on the major screen. Then it came time for the change.
When they sang "The Answer To Our Life". They told us to watch a screen. OMG! OMG! OMG! It had a really good message, and stuff. Nick was doing some freaky stuff during that though, lol.
While the guys were going from the main stage, to the middle stage (like the INTO THE MILLENNIUM TOUR stage, but smaller), they had a pre-recorded tape of them in the dressing room. Omg! It was kinda cute. The guys were making jokes. OMG, if your a Kevin fan and your seeing them in concert, look at his butt. OMG! They zoom into it, and he is sticking it out with his pants on. ROFL... it was so funny. My cousin (Lane) who loves Kevin, was like drooling, I had to like tell her to shut up. Howie is looking at himself with a mirror, and he is putting hairspray in his hair. They throw silly string all over each other, and then they take ... a squirt gun, and then they ... spray each other. It's cute.
Then the guys were out on the small round stage. They sang "I'll Never Break Your Heart" and then they sang "How Did I Fall In Love With You". Omg... my cousin Lane, was practically in tears. It was funny. Howie and Brian sounded so awesome. Omg! Then... Brian was like "Tomorrow is a special day for Nickolas Gene Carter, it's his 21st birthday". It was to cute, Brian said his full name. Nick was like... OH LORDY! The look on his face was priceless. Then... Brian was like, lets sing "Happy Birthday". So... we sang "Happy Birthday" for the second time to Nick. It was cute. Then... after we were done, the boys shared a moment together *passes the tissues*. They all huged each other, and got into a circle. Omg, it was to cute.
Then they did "Time". There was this little bridge thingy they crossed over the audience with back to the stage. During that song, NO ONE DID BUBBLES, NO ONE HAD BLACK AND BLUE FLAGS, and NO ONE HAD THOSE CANDLES. DONT WAIST YOUR MONEY! DONT! DONT! DONT! ! They sounded awesome during "Time" though.
Then the guys went backstage again, and they came back out. They sang "All I Have to Give". Brian and Nick sounded awesome. Omg! I was so happy. Then... in the middle of "All I Have To Give" they sang "If U Stay". I'm sorry, but I don't like that song, and I haven't ever liked it.
Then... they introduced the band. All I have to say is... WE WANT THE REAL BACKSTREET BAND. I don't like the new one. They need Mindi and the others. I was very disappointed when it came to that. Oh well... maybe the boys will wake up and smell the coffee and decided to get them back. Then after the band, they introduced the dancers. Heck, I didn't even noticed the dancers. I didn't like them as much as the other dancers on the last tour. *sighs*.
Then... they did "Backstreet's Back". OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! When Nick said "Am I sexual?" OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! I WAS LIKE... gonna die. He sat on the stage, and spread his LEGS. Whoa baby, thanks for the invitation. j/k It sounded really good.
Then they sang "Get Another Boyfriend". OMG! They sounded awesome. They had leather on, AGAIN! Thank god! BACKSTREET IN LEATHER... MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER! AHHH! They sounded so awesome, and when they sang "STOP" in the middle of the song, it was so cool.
Then they sang "THE CALL". *faints* OMG! OMG! OMG! AJ... was like, saying we only have 1 more song, and then he was like... hold on, and the phone was ringing. OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! AHHHHHHH! THEN THEY SANG "THE CALL". OMG! OMG! OMG! AJ was doing like pelvic thrusts and stuff, OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! I WAS FREAKING OUT! WHOA BABY!
Then... they were like... GOTTA GO! Then they came out and sang "Shape Of My Heart". AHHHH! That was so good. Nick sounded awesome, heck... they all sounded awesome. I was so happy. Then the concert ended, and we had to leave. .
Here is some useless info about the concert:
3 gay guys sat in front of us, and everytime one of them would do something sexual, they would be like... WHOA!
Someone spilt beer on my purse, and got EVERYTHING wet ARG!
MY SISTER... ALLY (mrs. fred durst) WAS SCREAMING SO LOUD! SHE IS A TOTAL CLOSET BSB FAN! SHE KNEW EVERY SONG, AND WAS DANCING AND SINGING! SHE WAS LIKE... I LOVE AJS HAIR OMG! She was screaming louder than me sometimes.
The lady behind us, told us to SIT DOWN! HOW RUDE?
The man in front of me, had a bald head, and I was getting mad, 'cause it will most likely end up in all my pictures.
I HOPE U ENJOYED MY REVIEW! SORRY ABOUT THE OMG'S AND AHHH! I AM JUST SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED. IT WAS AWESOME. IF YOU ARE SEEING THEM, U WILL HAVE THE BEST TIME, I PROMISE.

All I have to say is "Our Boys are back!" When I went to see them at the 'Into the Millennium' concert, I thought that they couldn't get any better, boy was I wrong.
The Black and Blue tour is absolutely awesome. I mean each guy looks so good. The Georgia Dome was their biggest venue in the states and we weren't disappointed by them at all.
From the moment they came out, it was electric, litteraly.
Fire was everywhere on the stage and the guys were so good as they came down on the stage.My mom and I truly enjoyed ourselves from the very moment that we arrived. The whole crowd sung "Happy Birthday" to Nick and he just blushed the whole time. They started out with 'Everyone' and finished with 'Shape of my Heart'. AJ started booty shaking on the big screen and boy, that was a great lookin booty. Brian just smiled and said'It is great to be home again'. That was very cute considering, he had to leave that night for the Super Bowl.
The dancing and all the choreography was really good. Each guy did well and none of the dancers messed up either. If you are like me and you want to see each guy without a shirt on, don't worry, this is the tour for you.The guys take you inside their dressing room and you get to see them, all of them with no shirts whatsoever!
Now, when the guys come back from the dressing room, they appear in a round on the floor. Run, don't walk to that stage,because you will have much competetion with other girls. They sing to you and you have the chance to see them up close or give them a small gift that you brought with you.
Last but not least, the guys will definately have some tight stuff to say. They sing every song from B&B but only a few from Millennium and a very small amount from Backstreet' Back. All together it is about 22 songs.If you want to buy anything there, make sure you have some serious MONEY!!! Shirts are 30.00 and 20.00 and there is a relaly nice jacket for 60.00. Everyone try and get a blue glow in the dark stick to wear. They are 8.00. During the song 'Time', they want the whole arena lite up with blue sticks, I promise you that it is so pretty.
No matter what seats you have,I promise taht you will enjoy the Black and Blue World Tour!!!!

Ok, I got there and Krystal came out about like 8:15 or so, and she came out with a dark colored wig on, and she was singing my religion. And then during the chorus, she pulled her wig off and banged on her piano. She was Awesome! Then we waited some more for like 20 more mins, and then like 5 rapper guys came out, and I didnt know who it was, but then EI was played through the speakers! It was Nelly! When I was outside the arena, it said that Destinys child will not be performing tonight ( I heard they were sick ), but Nelly made up for it! He sang about 5 songs, and he was awesome! Then about 9:30, they came. I thought I was going to pass out.
They all came up like statues, so straight and serious, then they sang Everyone. And they had this big screen behind them the whole time and that had all these gorgeous backdrops and pictures when they werent showing the boys. Then the middle of the stage came out into the audience and lead to another stage in the middle! And they went on that, all the fans from the back ran up to the stage. And we sang Happy Birthday to nick! Then me and my friend snuck to the bottom floor and we dodged like 10 security guards, then we had an AWESOME VIEW. AND I MEAN AWESOME. THEY WERE SO CLOSE I COULD SEE THEM SWEAT! then they said the last song was The call, but they lied. They came back out and did Shape of my heart. It was SSSOOO Great! If ure going to one of the concerts, ure in for a humongous treat! I had a wonderful time, plus you can tell cause I came back hoarse! haha!

I went to the concert at the Georgia Dome and it was awesome. The Boys came down in mid air and the whole arena went crazy.
AJ as usual looked very good and very sexy, which is no surprise.
The guys sung every song on B&B, but only a few from Millennium.You will notice that there are quite a few songs missing from Backstreet's Back.
Kevin looked really good as well as Brian and Howie.
The whole crowd sung 'Happy Birthday' to Nick who blushed the whole time. He has really gotten some muscle lately and looks really good.
The dancing was great and the singing, oh my God, the singing was perfect.
If you have tickets, I promise you will enjoy the show so much.
I was very happy to be at the biggest US venue on the tour. Brian smiled to the crowd and said" It's good to be home" Even though he had to leave that night.
The Black and Blue tour is the best one yet and guess what?
It only gets better from here!
I love you AJ!!

The lights of the Georgia Dome dimmed and thousands of screaming fans let out the excitement that had been building up inside of them. A large screen on the stage showed a picture of the world with meteros hurdling towards it. Everytime on exploded onto the screen, the stage shot off a burst of fire and sounded like a bomb had been dropped. The Backstreet Boys dramatic and shocking pyrotechnics had everyones complete and total attention. At that point I knew that this tour was going to be better then ever before.
The first song of the night was Everyone, off the Black and Blue album. The entire show had high energy, accompanied with great choreography, and some awesome outfits. The boys looked phenominal and sounded even better. From A.J's sexy pelvis thrusts at the audience, and Brian's sweet and innocent grins; the show fulfilled all the fans wants and needs.
Although they didn't choose the stage in the round this year, they did have a piece in the middle of the stadium that resembeled part of the stage from their Millenium tour.
So now matter where you were sitting, you had a good look at the boy's.
Personally, I think this tour shows how far the Backstreet Boys have come. They even sang a song that has never been released that Kevin wrote. They have grown as artists and will continue to prove to the world that they aren't just some boy band. They are making a significant stamp in pop music forever.

Just got home from the BSB concert in Atlanta at the Georgia Dome, and it was just awesome!!! I couldn't believe the seats i'd gotten (lower level) since i just got them the day before the concert.
What a day yesterday was. My best friend and I left our little boring Alabama town and traveled 4 hours to Atlanta. Spent at least an hour on Intl Blvd trying to get to the Dome. And I couldn't believe how expensive parking was - $20 -sheesh. Anyways, went to will-call, got my tickets, and then I saw a sign that said that Destiny's Child wasn't going to show up!!! ARRGH...well Nelly was the replacement act so it wasn't a total loss, and anyway i was there to see BSB!!!
ANYWAYS...onto the most important part - the concert! Krystal was the first opening act. She sang 3 of her own songs, Mariah's I'll Be There, and then Happy Birthday for Nicky. She was such an amazing singer! I think we'll hear a lot of her this year. Nelly was next and he was great...sang his hits EI and Country Grammar, along with Ride With Me (where he got two audience members on stage!) St.Louis and Batter Up.
Finally, the BSB came out! I won't give all the details because i'm sure everyone's heard them, but let me say that they were just amazing! They looked great (Kevin makes one sexy cowboy!), sounded great, the pyrotechnics were awesome! The back screen was really beautiful! The wardrobe changing part was really cute :) I really liked the clips they showed, like the ones of the video shoot during IWITW.
While they were standing on the small center stage, they also sang happy birthday to Nick! Couldn't believe that Howie actually gave him a spanking...lol!
Let me also add that I'm all for this Stop the Screaming campaign. I mean, I was screaming my head off of course, but only BETWEEN songs!!! I'm there to hear the music, not scream at them as they're trying to sing. And it doesn't matter how loud the music is...if someone near you is screaming, you won't hear much of anything. There was this little girl behind me and she was screaming up a storm, even during ballads....ugh. I finally looked back and glared at her and she stopped...lol...I must've looked evil or something.
Anyway, let me get off my soap box. I still had an awesome time, and I hope everyone has a good time at their concerts!!!

*ding ding ding* The alarm clock bounces off the drawer and of course, I hit the hell out of it cause I'm still sleepy. I only got 4 hours of sleep Friday night (Jan. 27th) and I was so tired coz I went to the doctor that week but nothing was stopping me from seeing my Boys.
When it was 6am, my friend Josh came to my friend Melanie's house and picked us up. We need directions to the Dome so we had to go BACK to his house and look them up. AHH... too early for that stuff. We finally got all of our people together and left Mississippi around 6:15am. Our road trips are never boring with my friend Candy around. *ride AJ like a donkey.. lmao* After we got to Douglasville which is 20 miles outside of Atlanta, we check into our hotel room, change out of our pj's and head to the mall. Of course, me and Mel get lost but we end up finding our people so it's all good now. hehe.. anyway, we went back to the hotel and we got ready for the concert and left around 6:30 so we'd have an hour to find the Dome. Thank God we did coz we got lost. lol.. anyway, we made it to the end of the line where traffic was and we waited for 1 hour. ack!
We finally get parked and we run like someone just let the gate down. We missed Krystal but got there just in time to see Nelly perform. He was awesome. Then he finally finished 'country grammar' and headed off the stage and the lights came up. Then after about 30 minutes, the lights went back down and I screamed. lol ... the circle drop screen in the back shows a huge meteor shower and everytime it hit Earth, a HUGE explosion would go off. Scared the hell out of me everytime and I KNEW it was coming. Go Fig. They kick things off with 'Everyone' (duh!) and head into 'Larger Than Life'. The best performance was 'Not For Me' and 'The Call'. Anyway, the Backstreet Boys Black and Blue tour was the best show I have ever seen in my 18 years of life. We got to sing Happy Birthday to Nick! He was SO embarassed. His face turned 20 different shades of red. It was so sweet when they all huged him! *HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICK*
If you haven't seen this tour yet, you HAVE to see it. It's definetly worth the $60 I paid for my ticket. I'll definetly be going to more shows on the summer leg of the tour. Rock on Backstreet! You guys are definetly back!

I went to the show on January 27th in Atlanta at the Georgia Dome. First I'm just going to say that the show ROCKED!!! It was better than the Millennium Tour. First, we had Krystal sing a few songs and she was great. Her voice is amazing. She brought up the fact that today's Nick's b-day and we sang Happy Birthday to him, even though he wasn't out on the stage to see it. Then we were lucky enought to also have Nelly, he come out and sang a few songs, including "Country Grammar" and "E.I." At 9:20 the boys came out. They started with meteors hitting the earth on the big screen and everytime one hit, an explosion occurred on the stage. There was a lot of smoke and fire and then the boys came up through the stage and went right into "Everyone." They went right into "Larger Than Life" and then took off the jackets they were wearing and started "Shining Star."
Then Kevin came out in a white suit and talked to the crowd saying that he was trying to buy some time while the rest of the guys were changing. The rest of the group came out and they performed "What Makes You Different (Makes You Beautiful)," "Yes I Will" with canes, and "More Than That." Here is another wardrobe change, they were wearing red and black outfits that looked kind of firey, and sang "I Want It That Way" and there was a whole fire theme going on on the big screen. Next came "Not For Me." Another change into all black and did "Show Me The Meaning" and just walked across the stage in one group. Then they brought this big blue trunk on stage that said "BSB Wardrobe" on it. They asked the crowd if we liked what they were wearing and one by one they each stepped into the trunk and were lowered down. After Brian, Howie, and Nick went down, AJ said, "Alright, now it's the AJ and Keving show" and then he said, "You know what they say, beauty before age" and then went down.
When Kev was up there by himself, he closed the top of the trunk and pretended to lock it like he was locking the rest of the boys down there, then he opened it up and went down himeself. They showed a little skit on the screen of them changing and goofing off under the stage. Then all of a sudden they were raised up on this small circle stage further back in the arena. There they sang "I'll Never Break Your Heart," "I Promise You (With Everything I Am)," and then "How Did I Fall In Love With You." Then Brian talked a little about last year's show and then the guys brought up Nick's birthday and we all sang Happy Birthday to him, again. They walked down this little ramp onto a little cat-walk that leads to the main stage where they sang "Time." Then they sang some of "All I Have to Give" and another song I didn't recognize called "Stay." Next came "The Answer to Our Life." They introduced their band and dancers and disappeared off the stage one by one.
Then, yet another wardrobe change and after they were raised up from the stage again in these HOT outfits and sang "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" and went right into "Get Another Boyfriend." All but AJ went off the stage for a minute and he talked to us. First thing he said was, "What do you all think about my hair?" (he had it in cornrows). Then he started saying how this was going to be the last song and then all of a sudden, his cell phone started ringing and they started "The Call," but instead of him saying "we're going to a place nearby, gotta go" he said, "I can't talk right now, I'm in the middle of a concert, gotta go." But as you probably all know, that wasn't the last song and they came out to sing "Shape of My Heart." They all take off and run off the stage except for AJ who just runs around a little (he was in a really good mood), then he left. It ended at about 11. I just have to say one more time that the show rocked and they are the best group EVER!

I went to the concert in Atlanta, and what a show! I wish I could go again, everyone who has not been yet, this is the best concert yet. I just wanted to say that during their stay in Atlanta, I had the chance of meeting Kevin and Nick.
What nice guys they really are! Kevin stopped for pictures and autographs and said thanks to all the fans at their hotel, for still supporting them after being away from the scene. Nick also was extremely kind. They pulled his bus in front of the hotel and he jumped on, and said he would be back. From previous experiences they say they will be back but never do. Well sure enough, he jumped on the bus, put his things on and then jumped off and started signing autographs. This I just thought was just so nice of him. Not to seem bias for Backstreet but they have a greater respect for their fans. I just wanted to tell everyone that the Boys do really care for the fans and do keep supporting them. :)

Well, after waiting in traffic for what seemed like days on end and driving each other crazy my best bud and I arrived at the Georgia Dome. We found our seats after being interrogated about our cameras just in time for the lights to go down. Krystal came out and sang about four songs and ended with "I'll Be There" Next out came Nelly! He did an awesome job, even bringing up two girls out of the audience.
The next time the lights went out the place went crazy. After a spectacular pyrotechnic showdown between the earth and attacking asteriods the boys came out with "Everyone". The show continued til the next out-fit change where the boys changed into all white suits and sang a few slow songs. During one song, I can't remember, sorry! They danced with canes. Later they changed into all black and decided they were too boring so they invited the whole audience into their changing areas to watch them change and goof off. After that they appeared in the small circle farther out in the crowd and performed a few songs, including Happy B-Day to Nick. At the end they performed "The Call" and came out for a final encore of "Shape Of My Heart"
All in all it was an amazing experience and I can't wait til they come back!

Well i just wanted to put my review of the backstreet boys concert in Altanta, Georgia on Jan. 27th!! Well it was just amazing!! Krystal was awesome, i couldnt believe her how well she could sing. Well after she got off the stage, Nelly came out and preformed a bunch of his songs and everyone was pumped. We all waited for the backstreet boys to come out...and everyone knows how awful that wait is:)!! While we were waiting Leighanne came down to the floor and was gonna sign some autographs for some of the girls around us. Well the security guard grabbed her and told her she couldnt do that. It was so awesome, because Leighanne got in his face and started yelling at him, telling him that he had no right to keep her from seeing the fans so he let her go after she threated to fire him. Other than that, that was the most exciting thing that happened before the concert. Well when the boys came out, the Dome erupted into an echo of screams. The sang all their songs and danced like i've never seent hem dance before. I'd like to add that Nick had really gotten AWESOME with his dancing :)!! Im not saying he couldnt dance before but he's gotten a lot better. Well since it was one day before Nick's birthday we all sang happy birthday to him and he was nothing but smiles the whole time. I have to agree it was an AWESOME concert and if ya like to know anything else about the concert just email me anytime!!! KTBSPA!! Muuahhhh peace out!!
