Backstreet Boys Wrap Up In A World Like This Tour at Jones Beach: What’s Next?

Leave a comment

Last night marked the last date on the North American leg of Backstreet Boys’ In A World Like Tour.  The tour, which started last summer in celebration of the band’s 20th anniversary, has ended up being the longest in BSB history.  As they said to the packed crowd at Jones Beach, this tour surprised their agents, critics and even them:  it’s amazing to see how much love and support they still have after all these years!  They played all of their hits, as well as tracks off of their new album, “In A World Like This,” as the audience partied like it was 1999.  A Backstreet Boys concert is like one giant singalong/dance party, with 15,000 of your closest friends.

About halfway through the concert, it sunk in that we wouldn’t be seeing the BSB on tour for a while.  But then we realized us Backstreet fan girls have a lot of other things to look forward to this year!

Backstreet Boys:  The Movie
A documentary on the BSB, filmed mostly last year during their 20th anniversary “reunion,” was announced last year, and we are still impatiently waiting for a release date!  The trailer for the movie has been shown during the IAWLT tour since last summer.  Now that this leg of the tour is over, we are hoping we will finally get a release date!   And an excuse to sing and dance in the movie theater.

Nick and Knight Album and Tour!
Nick Carter is so much fun to watch on stage, because he just brings his A-game each and every night.  He tends to do his own choreography, and is moving non-stop on stage.  You can see the pure joy he has in performing.  He’s teaming up with NKOTB’s Jordan Knight for an album and tour this fall, titled Nick & Knight!  Jordan also BRINGS IT each night on stage, so we cannot WAIT to see what these two will be up to on tour.  It’s going to be amazing.

“I Heart Nick Carter”
This isn’t Nick’s first foray into the world of reality TV (House of Carters anyone?), but this time around the show focus on Nick’s life with his new bride, Lauren Kitt, rather than Carter family drama.  We will only watch reality shows that star current or former boy band members, so obviously we have already been counting down to the show’s premiere!  Watch the first look below!   “I Heart Nick Carter” premieres on September 10th at 10pm on Vh1!

Stay tuned for updates on the rest of Backstreet’s  upcoming projects!  Be sure to follow Backstreet Boys & Secret Fangirls on Twitter for more updates!

We’ve seen collabs from within boybands before (such as Jordan Knight’s “Stingy” feat Donnie Wahlberg), but this is the first cross-boyband duo in history.  Since NKOTBSB was pretty much the greatest thing that has ever happened in the history of boybands, we are beyond thrilled for Nick & Knight!

Tickets go on sale Friday, May 2nd at 10am local time.  And don’t forget NKOTBSB are a close knit bunch – you never know who could stop by your show!  When we saw Jordan Knight in NYC, Donnie Wahlberg & Jonathan Knight stopped by.

Top 10 Moments of 2013 – Part 2

1 Comment

It’s almost time for 2014, so you know what that means – time to recap our favorite moments of 2013!  (We’re so original here).   As we mentioned before, 2013 was an awesome year for music, especially if you’re a secret fangirl.   Here are our favorite things that happened this year.  Check out Part 1 here.

5. Summer Break Tour

We were already thrilled that Victoria Justice was heading out on a summer tour, and the lineup got even better when it was announced she would be joining our favorite boy band, Big Time Rush!  The show was the perfect summer tour:  fun music and cute boys on a warm summer night under the stars.  What more could you ask for?!   BTR broke out their amazing dance moves, and Victoria’s “Shake” dance has a fun Zumba choreography.   Learn it here!  Openers Olivia Somerlyn and Jackson Guthy are ones to watch for in 2014.

4.  The Package Tour
It’s no secret that we love boybands, so a tour with three of the best ever on the same bill was like a dream come true!   98 Degrees, Boyz II Men and New Kids on the Block joined forces for one of the most entertaining tours of the year.  NKOTB have proved time and time again they still have the right stuff, we are pretty sure 98 Degrees haven’t aged a day since 2002, and who doesn’t love Boyz II Men’s 90s jams?  They all seem to get better and better with age.   And what comes with age is simply not caring what people think, and this is a beautiful thing.  If you haven’t seen NKOTB live, get to a show as soon as possible.

3.  Hunter Hayes

We expected big things from Hunter after winning Best New Artist at the CMAs last year and we were right.  He released the deluxe version of his debut album, “Encore,” this summer with new tracks like “I Want Crazy” and “A Thing About You.”  We had the chance to see him live and he does not disappoint.   We knew he would be amazing, but Hunter blew us away with his serious musicianship and his passionate performance.

2.  Justin Timberlake’s Return to Music

We’ve been impatiently waiting for the day JT would come back to his musical roots, and let’s face it, it wasn’t looking like it would happen anytime soon.  Little did we know JT had secretly recorded an album last summer and would be releasing it so soon after that thrilling “I’m Ready” teaser came out.  If you haven’t made it to a show on the 20/20 Experience World Tour, pay whatever amount you can find tickets for because JT is WORTH IT!  He performs for nearly 3 hours, plays every song you’d want to hear, and has a few surprises up his sleeve that we won’t ruin for you.  Just seriously, go.  You never know – it could be 7 years before you get the chance again!

1.  *NSYNC REUNITING AT THE VMAs!!!!

We could hardly believe it when the rumors started earlier that week.   Sure, it was only 90 seconds, but it was more *NSYNC than we’ve had in a decade!   And they’ve proved that they’ve still got it – if they were that great after just a few hours of rehearsal, imagine if they planned a full tour?  And man, we miss hearing JC Chasez’s voice.  We’re just keeping our fingers crossed for a full reunion tour.   We don’t mind waiting (Lance Bass announced his first solo single will be out in January!) as long as it happens!
