The concert was so awesome. Backstreet Kids on the Block, The New Boys, whatever you want to call them (they tried to get the crowd to chant "N-K-O-T-B-S-B" over and over, but I'm not sure that will catch on), were seriously amazeballs.
I bought myself one of those giant buttons that you used to wear on jean jackets - and might have to bring that look back - but there were so many amazing ensembles running around. Lots of girls were decked out in 80s clothes - even the ones who obviously were born in the 90s - I even saw some girls wearing hats like the one above. Legit 1980s gear. Very impressive.
I wanted a t-shirt (ooh - or "I Heart BSB" underwear!), but they were a whopping $40. A girl we were with DID buy one - all it said was "Jordan, Joey, Donnie, Jonathan, Danny." Genius. But $40.
Joey McIntyre (who, along with Jordan Knight has really aged well) made the astute observation that there was a distinct generational gap in the audience - either you felt like it was 1989 again (woooooo!), or you felt like it was 1999 again (and the crowd goes wild!).
The concert seemed to go on forever - who knew Backstreet Boys had so many hits?! - and I will now have to download all the songs I forgot about (Cover Girl, anyone? Step by Step!) for an all-new, all-star mega mix. Which is really good news for all my friends who get mixed CDs from me every Christmas. You're welcome, ladies.
And I can confirm: Backstreet's back. (Alright!)
Hysterical that you went to this show. I desperately wanted a Britney tee when I went to her show a couple of years ago, but I just could not shell out $40 just to have a shirt that says ,"It's Britney, Bitch." Of course, in hindsight, it might have been worth it.
