THIS IS US TOUR: Backstreet Boys Back In Shape

No one would say that the average age is around 30 or so, because the energy with which they appeared before thousands of fans last night at the Atlantic Pavilion, was the same with that 16 years ago formed what is considered the biggest boy band the world. And as an asset.

While they were on the second album in 1997, and has promised the single "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" that while there was music, would always be back ( "as long as there'll be music, we'll be coming back again) . And it seems they have missed the promise - despite some setbacks, such as the resignation of Kevin's band, solo projects and the latest works do not sell as much as before. And given the inflow to the Atlantic Pavilion on Friday night, the fans continue to pursue a career.

Scarves waist, neck or stretched in the air arose from the balconies filled and half-filled audience: teenagers who heard the boy band in the golden days are now in their 20s, but this does not prevent him from being present in the "call" of boys from Orlando, as soon as the red curtains gained contact with the ground and the metal stairs of the dark came the desire to see them translated into many acute.

So who broke the screen - which minutes before had passed a video of them - the "boys in the back street" gave the body a very busy show and almost uninterrupted for about an hour and a half, parading the big hits to the delight of the nostalgic 90 years, alternating with songs from new album This Is Us Brian, Nick, Howie and AJ opened with "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" with the well-rehearsed and choreographed show that he not move (and easy!).

Love and dance

A couple who were "dragged" to the Multipurpose Expo thanked the romantic moments provided by "Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely," "All I Have To Give," "I'll Never Break Your Heart," "Shape Of My Heart "and" More Than That. " However, it was "Incomplete" that captivated the hearts in love or parties, that one voice sang the chorus of the song.

To counter the scales of pop tracks with the theme of love, there was a danceable "The One" and a cyber "Larger Than Life", aided by a visual component very scenic and lighting effects. Auditors made and the balance given the now quartet made a positive start of the European tour in Portugal with a party that has shifted the emphasis always romantic, so much that earned them millions of records sold around the world.

However, in the midst of a return to the past, new songs like "Straight To My Heart", "Bigger," "She's a Dream" or "Bye Bye Love" played something unseen to most people, probably still unaware of the content This Is Us This does not mean that the relationship between the fans and the band is to stop, because who could watch last night, "love" is to last and Brian, AJ, Howie and Nick, although they each fewer boys, still pluck sighs as they go.

Madcon knew a little

In the Norwegian duo Madcon fit the easy task of doing the first part of the night was enough for them to a mixer with a red curtain as a backdrop to rally the hosts, who fully adhered to the rhythmic and humorous hip hop Kapricon and Critical.
