Brian, Nick, Howie, AJ, Brian :)

My not so secret desire to be part of a boyband during my teens to the err.. present was almost fulfilled last night during the Backstreet Boys' Unbreakable Tour in Sunway Lagoon. ~~


BSB sang songs from their new and old albums and the concert lasted for about 1 hour 40 mins of pop madness. In my opinion, BSB is THE staple boyband, and whenever the term 'boyband' arises, BSB is the first thing that comes to mind. And to think that i ALMOST wanted to pass on this due to some tightness in the wallet area.

The whole setup of the concert was kinda generic. No posters, buntings, or any sort of advertisement could be found around the area. No MC to usher in the event. No opening act. The concert started when the light turned off and the sound of raging guitars and drums could b heard. A 'remix' of Survivor's Eye of the Tiger was hinted to the crowd and spotlights suddenly revealed the members of the band one by one Michael Buffer (Boxing) style. They were all dressed in boxing robes and gloves. Eye of the Tiger then slowly transitioned to Larger Than Life when they started singing.

God damn that was awesome sh*t. Pop's heyday may b some years behind, but the concert was really a walk down memory lane. =)

Another memorable setting during the concert was when the boys were seated with a square table accompanied by wine glasses, cigars, and a deck of cards and were casually having a conversation when the opening lyrics of Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely was sung. The crowd went mad. =D

A few solo efforts from each of the boys broke some 'Backstreet' flow, but was a good addition nonetheless with Brian Littrell taking the cake as the best solo performance of the night with Welcome Home.

A medley of some hits got the crowd going all out although the music arrangements for those classics were 'remixed' with some new tunes. With energetic synchronized dancing and unforgettable songs the Backstreet Boys Unbreakable Tour in Malaysia was a superb experience. =) Hey it's not everyday you get random girls (...and guys) screaming your name.

Who's up for N'Sync?
