When I first arrived at Nava Restaurant in Richmond Hill and confirmed my identity for my press pass, I was shown to the press area beside the red carpet.
Just to think, it was about 10 years ago when I was at the Backstreet Boys concert in Toronto screaming their names, as if they were part of the Beatles hype.
Now, I’m a fan in respect of their musical talent and staying afloat in the music industry for so long. Of course, let’s not forget they are easy on the eyes (wink!).

The Backstreet Boys beat New Kids On The Block to the punch in terms of regrouping when they released Never Gone in 2005, yet there seems to be little animosity between the two factions.
In fact Backstreet Boy Nick Carter is hoping for the best for the Boston-based boy band.
“We are excited and we’re actually rooting for the New Kids because what they represent is what we represent, which is good pop music that needs to come back and stick around,” Carter says prior to launching their Canadian tour in St. John’s. “So we’re rooting for them and we want them to succeed.”

Mixing early career hits with songs from their new album Unbreakable, the band shows it still has the moves and songs to get the girls screaming.
They’ve still got it – the power to make a crowd of 12,200 mostly female fans scream so loud it hurts, that is. Earplugs, fast! Ahh, that’s better.
The Backstreet Boys played the Bell Centre last night in support of their sixth album, Unbreakable, released last year – their first without original member Kevin Richardson, who left the group in 2006.
If there was any doubt as to the ongoing allegiance of their audience, it was quashed even before the show began, as cheers broke out in waves. But that was nothing compared with the outburst when the concert finally started.
A news program in Montreal showed some footage of the boys concert on August 5, 2008. You can watch it at the media vault or download it at the community.

It was what the Backstreet Boys do best, whipping a crowd of young adoring women into a bouncing sing-a-long frenzy, through warm harmonies and dizzying dance moves.
A decade ago, the five boys were the dreams of teeny-boppers across the world, but it was clear last night at
Scotiabank Place that the Backstreet Boys haven’t strayed far from those same hearts.
The crowd of around 6,000 consisted of mostly women — young adults in their 20s and 30s — the very fans whose teenage bedrooms would have been plastered with posters of the boys.
