On Tuesday, the 29th of May, I got together, with my girlfriends, got all glammed up and made our way to the Burswood Dome, to see NKOTBSB (New Kids On The Block and Back Street Boys) live in concert.
After lining up for what seemed a lifetime, we promptly found our seats and soon after the lights dimmed, the excitement peaked and there on the stage was Johnny Ruffo, the talented Perth boy, who came third on X-Factor Australia.
Johnny performance was stunning and featured covers of numerous popular songs and he wowed the crowd with his dancing moves. Then he sang one of his original songs, by the name of DTF, which my friends and I were not entirely impressed with.
For those of you who aren't in the know, D.T.F. stands for Down To F*ck and is a song about a girl (who's name we don't even know) being D.T.F. because of the way she dances at a club - it was just a bit distasteful for that particular concert.
But Johnny definitely won us back with his final number, a Michael Jackson Medley, where he dressed up just like the King Of Pop himself and even Moon Walked. The only thing was that for his last five songs, Johnny kept on announcing it was going to be his final song, which was rather amusing.
Then there was a short interval, followed by another dimming of the lights and before we knew it, there were fireworks going off on the stage and the boys from both bands took to the stage and began to sing a cover of Viva La Vida, originally sung by Coldplay, which was good, but didn't particularly suit their voices.
The backing band, backstage, front of house, lighting and pyrotechnics crews were phenomenal!
Then the bands started singing their classic hits and it was like an 80's and 90's infused nostalgia slap to the face, as all us girls and even guys in the audience got up out of our seats and sang, screamed and danced the night away.
Some of the singers even took items of clothing off and threw them into the audience, while hordes of audience members squealed their hearts out. Then they began singing their slower romantic songs and some lucky girls were plucked out of the crowd by the members of the bands and were sung to and got to dance with them on the stage.
Overall this was an amazing performance, with all the guys still dancing like the old days, complete with hip thrusts, cartwheels and even backflip.! With a superb finale, with all the "boys" on stage rocking out, singing Everybody (Back Streets Back).
10/10
