Backstreet Boys: Ruling the '90s Boyband Style

Title: Backstreet Boys: Ruling the '90s Boyband Style
Written by Jamie Ortega

People term it as a guilty pleasure, like munching chips in the middle of the night or texting an ex-boyfriend. But for die-hard fans (just like this writer), boy bands are more than just a guilty pleasure, they provide music that never fails to inspire. What makes boy bands so irresistible? Let us count the ways- they produce songs that are perfect for any occasion. Who hasn’t hummed to I Will Never Break Your Heart in the shower while going to work, or at your favorite Karaoke joint? Who hasn’t copied the dance moves of Step By Step? There’s also the precise choreography, dapper outfits, and boyishly handsome good looks to contend with, all wrapped up in one delectable package-ooh- la- la!
 

Each generation possesses their own set of boy bands: the ‘80s had Menudo, while groups like Backstreet Boys, N Sync and 98 Degrees ruled the ‘90s. Now, everyone is all about One Direction.  As Backstreet boys founder Lou Perlman once put it, “As long as there are little girls we will always be boybands.”
Once word broke out that Ovation Productions will be bringing the boy band tandem of NKOTBSB to Manila on June 3, 20122 at the SM MOA Arena, boy band lovers all over Manila nearly went out of their minds. To herald their arrival in the country, we at MCS are bringing a two part special on the New Kids On The Block and Backstreet Boys. Find out how they started, how they’ve endured, and what they are up to now. Enjoy!

HUMBLE BEGINNINGS:
Back in 1992, friends Howie Dorough and AJ McLean met Nick Carter through several commercial, theater, and television auditions. They all wanted to be actors, but obviously God was preparing them for something greater. Kevin Richardson met the rest of the boys through a co-worker, and upon discovering their love for classical soul, formed a group amongst themselves.

   All the boys answered a newspaper ad posted by Lou Pearlman within the same year. Aj, unfortunately, was the only one who made the cut for that specific ad. Years later Lou have aspiring singers all over Orlando another chance, by holding another open casting call, to be part of a new boy band. Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, and Howie Dorough finally made the cut after meeting Pearlman’s expectations. Brian Littrell was later added to the group after Lou had him audition for the group over the phone. Who named them the Backstreet boys? It was Perlman. He named the group after Orlando’s famous Backstreet flea market.

RECORD-BREAKING SUCCESS:
The boys rose to fame first in Europe when the single We’ve Got It Goin On became a hit back in 1995. This was followed by 'Get Down (You're The One For Me)' which reached number 3 in the UK charts back in August 1996.  Get Down was followed by I'll Never Break Your Heart' which climbed to the 8th spot in the UK charts that same year. As expected, their self-titled debut album was widely –received in Europe.

So when did they touch the US market?  Two years after, with Everybody (Backstreet's Back)!  The hit dance ditty climbed to the number 4th spot in billboard charts back in June 1998. Subsequent singles Quit Playing Games (With My Heart) and As Long As You Love Me also became hits, altogether making their second album the third bestselling record of 1998 in the United States.

A year later they topped the UK singles chart in May 1999 with a new single, I Want It That Way, which also became a US Top 10 radio hit. You can probably guess what happened next, their third album Millenium topped the US album charts one month later, selling two million copies in just over three weeks. The boys were definitely on a roll because, on November 2000, their other album Black & Blue achieved platinum status in over 30 countries and gold certification in 10 regions around the world just during its first week of release with sales of over 25 million copies worldwide. The boys of Orlando officially became international superstars.

You know the saying quit while you are on top? The boys did just that, not by quitting but by going on a five year hiatus. The Backstreet Boys reemerged with a new single, Incomplete, in 2005, which was the #1 most requested song in top markets in both the U.S. and overseas. Fans of the boy band noticed a maturity in the group’s sound after listening to Incomplete, an aching ballad with tones reminiscent of bands Five For Fighting and Nickelback.

Incomplete was a mere sign of things to come as, on June 14, 2005, the group released their comeback album Never Gone, which they spent more than a year recording. It sold over 13 million copies worldwide.  With over 13 years in the music industry, the Backstreet Boys legacy lives on!
Catch them together with New Kids On The Block on June 3, 2012 at the SM Mall Of Asia Arena concert grounds. Tickets are available at SM Tickets  or call 470 2222

MCS Concert Review: Pinoys Go Gaga over Gaga

Title: Pinoys Go Gaga over Gaga

Written by Jamie Ortega

Lady Gaga is just like us. Sure, we aren’t crazily famous; nor do we have outlandish costumes or gazillions of dollars at our disposal. So, how are we like the Grammy Award-winning Popstar? Because just like the rest of the human race even international singing superstars possess feelings and emotions that can easily be hurt. The controversial performer showed just how human she is at the Born This Way Ball concert last May 21 & 22, 2012 as she shed tears while uttering the words, “I am not a creature of your government, Manila,” amid protests to have her concert banned in Manila.

However, more than the controversy surrounding Gaga’s two day show in the country at the newly-opened SM Mall Of Asia Arena, fans flocked in droves to her concert last May 22, 2012 to see Gaga do what she does best-perform her heart out for all her Little Monsters. And perform she did, against the backdrop of a gorgeous medieval castle dubbed as the Kingdom Of Fame complete with long-winding staircases and eerie secret compartments.

After front act German DJ Zedd warmed up the night with his rousing medley of party tunes including Party Rock anthem and I Love To Move It Move it, the Gaga extravaganza was finally kicked off with the Popstar straddling a faux horse. After that undeniably grand entrance Gaga, wearing a flesh-colored Filipiniana costume, together with the rest of her dancers, rode another contraption, this one looking strangely like a vagina.

Leave it up to Gaga to inject controversy and drama into every part of the show, to say that there was “no dull moment” was definitely an understatement! There were moments when the Popstar was straddling a motorcycle, wearing a dress covered in meat, pretending to be chewed up into ground meat in a grinder, etc. Gaga took on a multitude of roles as well, to match each outlandish act. The Popstar played the roles of fashionista, warrior princess, biker chic, sex symbol etc.

 During costume changes a floating head hologram would descend from the heavens. Judging by her speeches the hologram was Lady Gaga’s nemesis determined to make life difficult for her. But Gaga, being the fierce performer that she is, is determined to bring out on an amazing performance for her Pinoy Little Monsters. This mini battle played out the entire night.

As for the selection of songs, most of the tunes came from Gaga’s earlier albums The Fame and The Fame Monster which, this writer believes was a good choice, since majority of her hits came from her previous compilations.  Although the up tempo tune Born This Way was indeed a very good opening number because of its’ fun melody and very optimistic lyrics which set the tone for the entire evening. Songs Black Jesus + Amen Fashion, Bloody Mary, Bad Romance and the very controversial Judas quickly followed suit.

The concert was chopped into three parts, Act II was made up of Fashion Of His Love, Just Dance, Love Game, Telephone, while Act III consisted of Heavy Metal Lover, Bad Kids, Hair, You And I and Electric Chapel.  Act IV, on the other hand, was made up of Americano, Poker Face, and Alejandro. Act V consisted of Paparazzi, Scheure, and the night’s encore was two of Lady Gaga’s most recent hits The Edge Of Glory and Marry The Night.

                With its’ eye-popping costumes, breathtaking props, and amazing song and dance numbers, the Born This Way Ball Manila leg was indeed rife with highlights. But the most striking moment was when the Pop Superstar fought back against her critics while donning fishnet stockings and black sexy tights.  “All the things that I sing about and the way that I am, my lifestyle, is just part of this one big giant life performance-sized statement of liberation,” she pronounced.

She added, “So many people have been protesting, and it really doesn’t bother me, truly, because I know there has to be change. For all those kids all over the world who take their lives when they’re so young because they feel bullied, or they’re afraid because they’re gay and they don’t want to tell anybody – don’t you think that some of us should f*cking stand up and speak the g*ddamn truth?” That last statement was followed with, "It's not about the music, but about being yourself!" Yes, Lady Gaga is just like us, with her own set of demons that she struggles with everyday. But this writer is sure that, if all those protestors and moral crusaders could see the Born This Way Ball for themselves they would understand that the show is merely about a woman expressing herself the best way she knows how-by writing and performing amazing music.

Celebrities spotted at the event: Cristine Reyes, Rayver Cruz, Giselle Toengi, Grace Lee (minus PNoy), Divine Lee, Victor Basa, fashion designer Rajo Laurel, etc.
