...never mind my personal suffering. Without any bias whatsoever (I'll try to be an honest reporter for a moment), the Backstreet Boys delivered an energetic and completely spellbinding show. The concert struck like an avalanche, as the boys emerged from the sky (they might as well been "gods" descending from the heavens to their shrieking fans) amidst smoke, light and thundering fireworks to the opening score of Star Wars. They followed their "Larger Than Life" opening with other Millennium debut material, each song displaying a harder and edgier sound than their older hits. Likewise, the choreographed dancing and effects...
...wait! Suddenly, familiar notes rang out in the wailing darkness. "You are... my fire..." My heart pounded as I saw the Backstreet Boys re-emerge from the bottom of the stage to deliver their smash-hit single "I Want It That Way," giving themselves completely to the audience.

But nowadays, music acts seem to come in pairs--a fascinating and, surprisingly enough, beneficial twist. For instance, the Backstreet Boys and N'Sync (add in 98o, Boyzone, Five, etc.), Ricky Martin and Enrique Iglesias, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears... Without the opposition, each type of act would grate on us--like the Spice Girls who quickly dissolved when we tired of their singular prissiness. Having a popular nemesis...
