"Singing with the tone of "Larger than life - Backstreet Boys"
Finally the Big Day Has Come...
1 June 2012, Mata Elang International Stadium (MEIS) Ancol. After the last one in 2008, finally we meet the "Boys" again..hehehehhe #can't stop smiling actually.
Today, after crushing with the boys since my elementary school (around 15 years ago) but still i love the boys who can't be named as a "Boy". I love their song, their style and their teamwork on presenting their song. All the members have their own part. None just act as a dancer or backing vocal. Each has their own characteristic on singing.
Boy band come and go..but for me they will be last. Even if you see the polemic in our country, when Korean Boy band currently become a new icon in entertainment industry. I thought it wont be last, since music industry currently has lost their identity. Pursuing gain over art it selves. When entertaining become most precious than singing it selves. When watching the live performance is more adorable rather than listening. Isn't that funny?
I'm amaze with most of the audience who become a loyal fans of New Kids On The Block (NKOTB). The boys has been missing for almost two decades, but still they stood up and sing along with such euphoria that i understood well, they love them in their own ways. And me, i just knew some of NKOTB's song hence it become my own break time whenever i can't sing their song well ^^
Both of them presented most of the "Best" song ever. BSB; I want it that way, Shape of My Heart, Incomplete, 1000 promises, Larger than Life, I'll never break your heart, All i have to give, and many more. NKOTB's song that i knew ; summer time, step by step, If you go away. And their collaboration song "Don't turn out the lights.
In overall, the show was run smoothly. The things that become exception of this event maybe knowing that Berlian (Promoter of this concert) didn't have a "well-coordinate" on arranging the audience once the entrance door is open. Some of us must have to run inside the basement of the stadium that can be pledged as "unfinished/under construction building". The second one, we just like trapped as NAZI prisoners whereas put inside the box with so limited fresh air that made us hardly to breath.
But, instead of those exceptions i also wanna say "THANK YOU" for bringing back both Backstreet Boys and New Kids On The Block to Indonesia. I'm looking forward to see Mr. Carter, Dorough, Littrell and Mc. Lean again. Hopefully, Mr. Richardson will join next time since he decided to comeback with those "Boys" since April 2012.
