Hey everyone!!! I just wanted to say that this concert was one of the best I've ever been to!! Before the show, we were all waiting outside for their buses and I managed to see all of them but Kevin. When AJ's bus passed right by us, he was looking right out the window and he was about 2 feet away from me! Then when Nick's bus came, he stayed in there for a while and he started shaking the bus back and forth to get us to scream, it was soo cute!! Then he kept opening the curtains and smiling at us!! It was awesome to see them up close:) The concert was AMAZING like usual! The only thing that kinda sucked was that Krystal wasn't there. I was sitting right by the mini stage and the bridge on the floor and when they sung back there, Brian looked at me and waved..it was so awesome!!! Well HEY to everyone I saw at the concert..you know who you are!!!

PS. Drowning is amazing live!! and they said that the first heard Drowning on DRQ so go DRQ!!!

Last night was my 7th BSB concert, 3rd Black and Blue show and it was amazing. Everytime I see the Boys they just get better and better. We went to the Ritz to see if they were there but they weren't. On the way to the Palace there was a tour bus behind us, we didn't know who it was so I slowed down to get a good look. I saw someone sitting by the window with a white beanie cap so I thought it was AJ, it wasn't. I pulled into the parking lot while Emily had the video camera on the bus. It pulled to the side of us, after I paid I looked over and started waving still not knowing who was in it. I looked infront of me to make sure I wasn't gonna hit anything and Emily yelled it's Sisqo. So I turned and saw him wave to us, Emily said he waved and said Hi beautiful. We parked and got out of the car and a girl came over and told us Nick was by the busses. We walked over and saw him throwing a football around with someone. He got on the bus and pulled the shades down so we went inside. Security was checking bags and they had metal detectors, I had my camera around my neck under my BSB sweatshirt but then put it in my purse under my wallet so he looked in and let me go. We both had posters hidden under out sweatshirts too hehe. But they weren't taking any of the posters from anyone so we weren't that worried. After walking up the steps we headed for the merchandise tables. All I wanted was a Healthy Heart club t-shirt. The first place we went to only had smalls, the second place took down the last one on display while we were in line and the third place was sold out too! So I didn't get anything. We got to our seats, section D row 22 seats 1 and 2 on the aisle. I thought they would be the seats closest to the mini stage, but seat 1 started on the other end. We still had a good view but we wanted to get closer, and we did hehe. Sisqo came on, did 4 songs I think then left. Krystal wasn't there. This is the third time I've misser her! The first time we were late getting to the Silverdome, the second time she wasn't in Cincinatti and last night she wasn't there. We found out that day cuz while we were looking for the hotel Bri and Kev were at the radio station being interviewed on the radio and Kev told us hehe. We should have been at the station instead of the hotel! Oh and Bri said that while they were in their van they were listening to DRQ and they heard Drowing for the first time on the radio!! It was just played about an hour before he said that so we heard it the same time they did!! hehe They came on at 8:30, started with Everyone and Larger than Life. Everyone already knows this stuff so I'm gonna give you the highlights of what I remember. These are in no order!
~Nick was very, very into the entire performance. He was running around on stage, jumping on the drums, dancing like I've never seen him dance before hehe.
~Kevin has his hair in cornrows again, I don't like it!
~During Not For Me, all the guys came out wearing sunglasses except for AJ which me and Emily thought was kinda weird cuz AJ is the one always with them on.
~When Bri came out to talk to the crowd he pointed out a guy down in front that had an NYPD hat on. Bri was talking about how those guys are real hereos, then he talked about the crew member they lost. He told us for the next two hours to forget about all of our problems and just have a good time.
~AJ came out and got alot of screams. He was 78 days sober last night, he thanked everyone for their prayers and support then he yelled 'sobriety kicks ass' and everyone screamed.
~During Yes I Will Bri was singing his first verse he was scratching his stomach for the part 'the way you make me feel inside' and 'baby my heart wants to reveal' It was so cute!
~They came to the mini stage, Emily and I went to the first row that was infront of it. We were standing there watching the wardrobe skit when all of their security guards came over to us and said we had to move to the row behind. I knew right away it was cuz the Boys were coming down that aisle. I looked up at the steps and saw them walking down, Kevin first. They walked by us and I stuck out my arm and touched Kev's shoulder!! Then the security guard hit my arm down hehe. Brian came by so I reached out and touched him too!! Nick walked by and so did Howie, I didn't see AJ. They went so fast I must have missed him hehe.
~I wanted to throw my beach ball on stage but was afriad it would fall off like last time. This girl next to me had a security guard put a hat onstage, so she told me to give him by ball. I did and he put it on the ground and popped it!! I knew I should have thrown it. I also had a sign that said Let The Music Heal Our Soul and the other side said Thank You for Everything. I know they saw it cuz I saw Kev look at it, but noone waved:-(
~Howie was sooo cute dancing around with this joker hat that had bells in it.
~I was watching Kevin sitting on the edge and he was staring up at the upper level. He just sat there for like 2 minutes not moving, just starring. I wish I knew what he was thinking about!
~They went back to the main stage and sang America the Beautiful. There were American flags on stage and a huge one on the big screen. They all sang a verse, it was amazing!
~AJ came out to tell us there were only 2 songs left, he looked so good. Better then I've ever seen him. He had his bandana on but over top he had a red NY hat with a USA t-shirt. Bri had the same shirt on.
~Brian was carrying an American flag during SOMH. He was holding it and walking around like a soldier.
~The last song was Drowning so me and Emily went up to the front, we found a spot in the front row near the side of the stage. The rose up like they did for the first song and it sounded so good.
~After the show we went outside by the busses and saw Nick get into his bus. Then AJ came out, got into his and Kev came out. We must have missed Howie and Kev cuz when we left there were no more busses.
Overall, the show was the best I've ever been to. I sang and danced the whole time. They all looked amazing and sounded incriedable. I took some pics, mostly at the mini stage but my battery was going dead. I pray that they came out good. If anyone was at the show and has it on video or cassette please email me! I usually take both video camera and cassette recorder with me but I was scared this time cuz of security being tight. Well, thats my story! Hope everyone who is going soon has a great time!

Detroit , Michigan concert

OMG,this was the first time ever that i have seen the guys in concert and it totally rocked. I loved the whole concert but the best part was when they they started singing everybody backstreets back. I was screaming so loud. I loved it when AJ came out and was talking to us. He was 78 days sober he said. He said that sobriety was really fun and he loved it. I also liked that video for answer to our lives because i liked seeing the different environmental clips they showed. I liked it when Nick and AJ were trying to us to go crazy with their antics. I loved the song Don't want you back because i have never seen it done live or any song for that matter. AJ is a big flirt. He was so looking good last night but my baby was looking thinner and i felt bad for him but i know that he is doing better so its a minor thing. but overall the concert was good and I enjoyed it thoroughly and i cant wait to see them again next year. Sisqo was good as well. But the boys were who I came to see and they made me the happiest girl in the world. I love you AJ and keep up the good work, I am so proud of you baby!!!!!!!!!

Saw the Backstreet Boys last night in concert. They still have it going on. The older they get the better they look. Like a fine glass of wine. They were really good and the last song they sang was Drowing it was great. My seats were in the back right by the back stage that rises up so if your back there you can see them up close. They sang and dance and rocked Michigan for about 2 hours. I tossed a hat up with bells on it Howie ware it all the way back to the front stage and AJ got his Yorkie stuff dog I threw up to him. You could hear him say to Kevin this is mine. They sold red roses befor the concert Howie pick them all up but let me tell you they are a pain to hold on too you can't clap your hands and the peadels were falling off them its better to not have them. They were 4.50 a rose.

Hey,
Okay, to make a long story short, you all know how the actual concert goes.
Before the concert we went to the bus area, garage doors etc. Anyway we managed to see Howie!!! Apparently Kevin and Brian were already there. Anyways, I had floor seats, and I brought two beach balls, anyways, when the boys were on the small stage I threw my beach ball to brian but missed the stage :(. Next I through my other beach ball to him on the bridge, and he caught it!!!! I took 7 pics. But I am desperatly looking for anything you have, video, especially pics, of the boys that night!!!!
