Backstreet Boys “Larger than Life” Tour in Singapore – 21 Oct 2017 – Keeping the Backstreet Pride Alive for the Boyband of Our Time
Rejoice, Backstreet Boys fans! Nick Cater just announced that they are working on their new album & will be taking on a new World Tour soon!
“I don’t care, who you are, where you’re from, what you did, as long as you love me”…
If you find yourself singing along to these lyrics instantaneously, there’s no denying we are from the same era. We are fortunate to grow up with some of the finest Boybands’ songs.
The “Golden Era of Boybands” that belonged to Take That, Boyzone, Backstreet Boys, N’Sync, Westlife and so many more…
24 years it’s been and they definitely have got it goin’ on.
20,000 tickets were snapped up in a flash for more than a good reason.
Walking down memory lane to reminisce “Yesteryears once more” has never been more fun & enjoyable. It’s like a high school reunion party. You knew exactly when to join in for the lyrics when they threw the mic out at you.
Growing up and aging is an inevitable process, but what better way to celebrate this graceful journey together with these 5 men & their adoring fans?
You had “permission” to just go wild, shriek to your lungs’ contentment, singing, grooving & dancing along to the most popular boyband of all time.
Nostalgia at its very best.
AJ Mclean, Brian Littrell, Howie Dorough, Kevin Richardson & Nick Carter may have dad bods now, but that did not take away their glamour on stage.
Don’t all 90s boybands have synchronised dance moves?
They were either decked in leather or diamante jackets, doing their famous synchronised old-school dance moves such as the “Zombie Dance” during “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)”, reviving the Folding Chair Dance during “As Long As You Love Me”, lifting their index finger when they sang this line “You are my fire, the ONE desire” during “I Want it That Way”. Swaying their mic stands during ballads such as “I’ll Never Break Your Heart”, was also an iconic 90s boyband stance.
We don’t mind a layer of “cheese” added to their dance moves.
Good ol’ cheese tastes oh so good.
You’d been blown away by their LIVE singing, despite Brian’s medical condition with his vocal cord. They could harmonise so well, sapping all the fans’ energy, attention and affection in an instant.
The guys weaved their ways into fans’ hearts effortlessly with all the sweet nothings, such as Nick’s “We love each and every one of you”, “We Love you so much, Thanks for being the best fans in the entire world!”, & Howie’s “Thank You for keeping the Backstreet pride alive!”
The concert set list was a replica of their Las Vegas Tour, with 20 classics such as “Larger than Life”, “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)”, “We’ve Got It Going On”, “Drowning”, “Incomplete”, “Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely”, “I’ll Never Break Your Heart”, “Quit Playing Games with My Heart”, “As Long As You Love Me”, “I Want It That Way” & “More Than That”.
As they belted out their classic hits & award charting ballads, memories flooded your mind and it just tugged at your heartstrings.
It’s easy to resonate with at least one BSB song since your adolescent years. Lyrics would just come out of your mouth automatically, as if they were ingrained in your hearts.
They have moved along with the times pretty well and will continue to do so as a mainstream boy/men band.
With the legions of loyal fans around the globe, it’s almost a guarantee that their next album and concert tour will sell like hotcakes.
BSB fans are not ready to let them go, as yet.
Growing old is sweeter with them around.
Backstreet’s Back, Alright!
Keep rocking, Guys!
We want it that way!
