Hoochie Mamma Convention--I Mean, My *N Sync Concert
Read: Fat people should NOT attempt tube tops.
DON'T READ IF YOU WANT TO BE SURPRISED AT YOUR CONCERT
I went to the Friday night concert (7-21-00)
in Philly, PA at the First Union Spectrum.
Our seats were in section 106, row 7. So we
could see perfectly. Grant it, not as well as
the people in the way front, but there were only
about 30 rows ahead of us. Plus, the big
screen kinda helped us, so we didn't need to use
our binoculars. But at my last *N Sync
concert, we were so far back, that I couldn't
tell who was who, but here I could tell, even
without looking at the screen! (LOL, I don't
care if it sounds lame!)
When the concert was ready to start, a man walked
out on stage, and he tried to get us all
pumped up, and then he said, "My name is Steve Fatone,"
and then we all realized he was
Joey's brother, so everyone went crazy.
Then he introduced Ron Irizarry. He is the
debut artist on FuManSkeeto Productions
. He sang four songs, and
he played guitar with the songs. I could only
understand 2 songs' lyrics. There was
like, something like "I'm going away today..." and
then "We are young and free yea, we are
young and free, yea" so everyone understood
those lyrics, and was singing them with him.
Then it was Pink's turn. My opinion on Pink
is that her music is cool, but she is just so
fake. Like the pink hair really bugs me, and
how in her video she's shown like holding
her breasts. But she came out and sang 4 or
5 songs. "There You Go" was a really good
performance. So everyone was singing along to
that. She said that Philly was her
hometown so her friends and family were in the audience.
Then Steve came out again, and he said that
there would be about a 25-minute
intermission and then *N Sync would be out.
So everyone screamed of course. They
pulled down a screen and showed a small video
about how you could win a trip to nyc for
two and meet *N Sync . But then we
had to wait for the intermission.
But then....OMG!!! The stage black curtain
or whatever fell down and then the screams
started again. We were beginning! Then the
tune "I got no strings to hold me down, to
make me fret, to make me frown, I got no
strings to hold me down, I got no strings on
me," played, and they fell down to the stage.
They started to sing "No Strings Attached"
with all this puppet-like choreography.
It was so cool, then the guys took the visible
strings off, one by one, and then flew again.
Then they went into "I Want You Back," but
I didn't notice anything unique about that.
Then they all went backstage, except for
Lance, and he started to say how fans were the
best and all so this next song was all for us
(or all for me baby!) and they all came out
and sang "God Must Have Spent." It sounded
so good! The stage had pop up pedistools,
just the right size for each of the guys, and
they all rose up into the air on them. That was
really cool.
Then they had to go backstage again, and Ananda
Lewis came up on the screen and was
talking about TNL (Total *N Sync Live) and she
said that we could vote for the song we
wanted *N Sync to sing next. The choices
were "Yankee Doodle Dandy," "Three Blind
Mice," "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,"
and "Tearin' Up My Heart." You cheered for the
song you wanted. Now I really wanted to hear
the star song, so I voted for "Twinkle,
Twinkle," but the crowd, surprisingly chose
"Tearin' Up My Heart." Oh well. They had a
screen behind the stage with signs going by
like on TRL. At the end of the song, they all
spread out on different parts of the stage:
JC-right, Chris and Justin-center on stage,
Lance-left, Joey-in front of screen.
Justin then came out by himself, so of course
the crowd went wild. He started on this rap
beat box thing, and it was crazy. But it was
kinda cool. You can bet he was like, "Let me
rap! I wanna rap in the concert, yo!" Then
the drummer played, and he was battling with
the drummer, between his raps and the drum playing.
Then they sang "It's Gonna Be Me," and it was
like perfect-JC even hit his long note!
That's when the fat lady in front of my friend
decided to stand up on her chair. That was
annoying, but then she sat down. But that
performance was so cool!
It took a while, but then they came back on
stage and there was a sofa and two chairs.
Lance had the chair on the right, Chris on
the one on the left, JC was sitting on the corner
of the couch, and Joey was next to him, then
Justin. JC said, "Okay, we set up a little
living room scene, and now we're gonna sing a
few songs." So they sang "I Drive Myself
Crazy," but they sang it upbeat, and kinda
jazzy. Then they did "I Thought She Knew,"
and that was so good! They all stood up then,
and it was a cappella (duh) and it sounded
so good!
They left, and on the screen, there was a video.
They were all in the quick change room,
with like clowns and monkeys, it was really funny!
They played pool and JC looked in
the mirror and was so cute! They played arcade
games, and Johnny Wright counted the
members, "1, 2, 3, 4....?" Lance was missing.
They went and watched TV and went
through channels and there was like this robot
in Lance's place. Chris said, "Looks like
Lance, but....?" Then they landed on ABC,
and there was Lance on Who Wants To Be A
Millionaire? He was going for 1 mil, and
Regis asked him the final question. It was like
"Which one of these is not considered a Pokemon?"
a) Jigglypuff, b) Frodo, c) Squirtle, d) Pikachu.
Lance didn't know, and he used a lifeline, and
called *N Sync. They allpicked up their cell phones
and Lance read the question, and they were
discussing it, andthen the timer ran out.
So then he had to use another lifeline, and he
polled the audience. (Was I supposed to know
the answer?) Justin said, "Guys, you have
to help Lance, weneed your help, cuz he's
about to be paid!" So the audience voted for
Frodo. Lance wentwith that, and he won! So as
all the confetti fell for millionaire on the
screen, tons ofgreen and white confetti flew out
from these blowers on the floor, and the guys came out
in these cool money outfits and sang “Just Got Paid.”
There was confettiEVERYWHERE! Near the end of the
song, the guys tried to get into a ‘club’ but they
didn’t have enough money, because JC held up a
dollar bill, and that’s all anyone had.
They pointed to the list, but the guy was like,
“Nope, not on here!” But finally, they did
get in, and they danced, and behind them was a
bunch of girls.
Then came “Space Cowboys.” This, I decided, has the
coolest dance move ever. That
thing where they bend down and flail their arms, I
have no clue if you would know what
I’m talking about, but it is so cool! Like, they
were kinda surfing? Also, each licked his
finger and touched it to his butt. That dance was
totally awesome!
Then, Justin was wheeled out on a stretcher, and
they had an operating room on the
screen, and the other guys were trying to shock him.
Then Justin sat up, “I was hanging
with the fellows...” It was so great!
That dance was so funny, because after every chorus,
they would pretend to be dizzy or pretend to throw up.
Then at the very end they all fell
to the ground, in a very sickly way!
Then, this part was the best of the whole concert.
They were all on stage with stools, and
JC said, “I think we need to get a little closer to
the fans.” So they moved their stools up
a little, and Justin said “What? What are we doing?”
Then Chris said, “He wants to be
closer to the fans.” Then Justin was like,
“What? That’s crazy!” Then JC kept moving
them up, and Justin kept asking what he said,
and then they were at the edge of the stage,
and JC was like, “A little closer, guys?”
And the stage rose and slowly came all the way
to the middle of the floor, and stopped RIGHT
next to us. Then they started singing
“This I Promise You.” The stage was rotating,
and right as JC’s verse came, he spun
towards us, he was singing it to us! I made
eye contact with Lance, and Joey laughed at
my sister. LOL, it was so awesome. I have
like a million pics of that!
Then, they came out and had all this computer
stuff on the screen. Then “Digital
Getdown” began. It was such a good performance.
Then the finale was, guess... “Bye Bye Bye!”
That was also a really good performance!
