Complete Review: This was the absolute best Boyz II Men concert I have been to (I went to two other concerts but I wasn't close enough to really enjoy them). They sang all of my favorite songs, including "Doin' Just Fine," "Can't Let Her Go," and "End of the Road." Anyway, during this concert, the last one they had before Wanya got sick, I had fourth row seats (thanks to the V.I.P. Club). However, I didn't bother staying in my seat. I just went right up to the stage. I was so close I could see the sweat on Wanya's forehead. I could also see the stiches in those blue pants that they wore. Anyway, at one point in the concert, Nathan reached down and touched my hand. That was the best ten seconds of my life. Right after that, they got their red roses out. Wanya started giving his out first. He came right over to me and I said, "Give me one Wanya," and he looked at me and put it directly in my hand. After that, he started throwing them to crowd, but I felt special because he didn't throw mine to me, he put it in my hand.

Complete Review: This is the best concert I've ever been to! They sang all the songs I wanted to hear, except for "Never" (but oh well). They put up a good show despite the poor tix sales. They were so friendly with the audience. I would recommend the concert to anyone, even people who aren't even big fans of Boyz II Men. I guarantee that no one would be disappointed about it. The only regret that I have is that I didn't have a backstage pass to go meet them. That would have made this concert even more perfect than it has been already. I LUV BOYZ II MEN!!!

Complete Review: Boyz II Men is the best group ever! I have been in love with Shawn since I can remember so I was screaming his name the entire time. He waved at me five times, then he shooshed me, then he made a motion like I was crazy. I had the best time of my life. I loved when they sang "Can't Let Her Go!"

Complete Review: The Evolution Concert was DA BOMB!! The GUYZ were like the main attraction because the other acts were T-I-R-E-D!!! Every song that they performed was simply amazing!! From "Motownphilly" right to "Can't Let Her Go." Michael was not feeling to well, but that really didn't stop him from gettin' his concert on!! :) At one point, he even started dancing... :) They allowed hm to do his own thing. Just to hear him talk would be enough for anyone! Thanks to NEVADANCER, ANGIE, BYZ2MEN1, AND MOCRAB, I had the pleasure of meeting the Boyz at the show!!! The meet and greet was EXCELLENT!!!! Even though I had camera problems during the meet and greet!! I didn't have a camera at all at this point of the show!! But, just to be in the same room with them, touching distance away was just breath-taking. :) They performed "We're Not Making Love No More" by Dru Hill, now I love Dru, but I'm tellin' you, Boyz II Men sang the HELL outta that song!! It was GREAT! Dru couldn't touch them on that one! The whole experience was wonderful and it's one I'll never forget.

Complete Review: First off, I just wanna say that this was the most satisfying concert that I have ever been to in my life!!! I've waited since forever to see Boyz II Men in concer, and now I finally have (I missed them on the All Around the World Tour....I cried 'bout it....:-P)...and let me just say...it was nothing but the bomb. Although the concert was short (I think) and I don't think they did a complete set--the concert had been postponed from Friday to Tuesday because Wanya got sick (they were worth the wait of course :))--it was still beautiful...the Boyz took my breath away...all my emotions just poured out...I was sooooooo hyped...from the moment they all jumped out on stage and started singing "Motownphilly" it was just so awesome!!! I was pretty close to the stage, so it was great. They all looked great!!! And I have even more respect for them now than I did before because Wanya wasn't even fully recovered from loosing his voice, and they all still went on stage to give the fans all they had..and Mike with his bad back...they are just the sweetest guys in the world!!!!..."On Bended Knee"...that's when the tears came burstin' out...I could no longer contain myself...I was singing along, crying...in complete awe ...it was beautiful...they sat down on stage and started singing...WOW...and after that song was "Doin' Just Fine"...I cried all through that, too...ah!!! It was titeness! :) And then I calmed down for a while...but then they busted "End of the Road"...and I started weeping again...I stopped again...then they did a beautiful "4 Seasons of Loneliness" followed by "Water Runs Dry" which was simpl off the hook...beautiful...everything was cooooooooool!!!!! I didn't get a rose when they sang "Ill Make Love to You"...but it was really beautiful still...the whole show was just WOW! I'll shut up now though, because I think I'm starting to blabber...I really advise all of you to see the Evolution World Tour!!!

Worst Song: None
Complete Review: From the moment they ran to the front of the stage to the second they left, the Boyz held every mmber of the audience in the palm of their hands. I was so impressed with how Nate, Shawn, and Wanya picked up the slack for Mike not being able to dance much. His presence was most definitely felt though. It is very easy to see that the Boyz have truly matured as entertainers. They had conversations with the audience, cracked jokes and always seemed to deliver each song with a unique edge. This being my fifth time seeing them in concert, I would have to say it was the best. I was a little sad because they performed a shorter set than they have in other cities (because of Wan's voice, I think), but hey truly gave each audience member their money's worth that night. They held absolutely nothing back and played with the hearts of thousands of women and girls!! Especially Nicole's, I bet!! =) If you have not had the Boyz roll through your area yet, go get your tix NOW!!!!! You will not regret it!! Great show!

Complete Review: Being at that concerrt was the best thing that ever happened to me! The Boyz were awesome, cool, off the hook, da bomb, and everything else! Even though Mike wasn't supposed to dance, he still did a little bit and a couple of times came to the front of the stage. The Boyz were all such great performers, you could tell they put everything into it. Nate threw ME his towel, and I was one of the first ones to get a rose during "I'll Make Love to You" from Wanya.

Complete Review: I enjoyed both concerts. The only thing I didn't like is that Mike couldn't perform because of his back. But he hung in there. That just goes to show how dedicated they are about what they do. But Wanya's problem couldn't be helped. I hope he gets better soon.

Complete Review: This concert is my favorite so far. It seems as though it gets better and better over the years!! (Gee, I can't wait until I'm 50!) :-) My boyfriend and I did are annual thing and went together to see Boyz II Men perform. I was so excited and had been anticipating this concert for the past three years. And believe me when I tell you that having center, front row seats didn't really help musch either! There were times when I got my groove on and times when I just stood there still, staring at them complete awe! They really touched me lyrically, emotionally, and spiritualy. And even though Mike couldn't be all hyped or dance all over the stage like he wanted to, there still was not a flaw in the show. Just his presence alone assured me of how dedicated and loyal Boyz II Men are to their fans. Of course my future husband, Wanya, (don't tell my boyfriend though), looked absolutely divine especially with hard-working, dripping sweat glistening all over his body!!! Don't even get me started on the special effects and the pyrtechnics, but I will anyway. The fireworks and lighting systems were amazing and the sound was so clear, you could've heard a pin drop (that's without me and thousands of others screaming until our lungs collapsed, of course)! I recommend this concert to all. No matter the race, age, creed, or religion. Boyz II Men, who are the prime connosisseurs of this futuristic and optimistic process of 'Evolution,' motivate us to become better, more influential people, just as they themselves have desired to evolve-from Boyz into Men! (plus, it's worth the big bucks, and even the little ones for that matter). :-) EVOLUTION BABY!!!!!!

Complete Review: Boyz II Men have been great since their first album. It was wonderful for them to go all the way back and show they sill had what it takes to be the best! I would easily call them the best romantic group of all-time. It was so emotional because it was my first time seeing them and I have loved them forever! I cried and the roses were just the best. How could anyone not give Boyz II Men the credit they deserve. "Can You Stand the Rain" was great!! I would tell Mike he has so much courage for staying with the group. Go Boyz II Men!

Complete Review: I had the time of my life. I missed my Senior Prom to go see my babies. They put on a great show. I gave Wanya a teddy bear. I threw it on stage and it landed right in front of him. He saw it, and smiled at me. And when they sang "I'll Make Love to You," they threw roses. Wanya had one last rose in his hand and he gave it to me personally and stayed there singing until the song was over. I'm glad I missed my school prom, because this concert was better than ever. Wanya, I love you!!!!

Complete Review: This concert was da BOMB!!! I couldn't believe how incredible this concert was. They came out and just busted out into "Motownphilly." They had on these blue leather jackets with blue leather biker pants on with diamonds running across the front of their legs and they had on black jeans underneath the biker pants. After "Motownphilly," they did "Under Pressure," then broke into a 45-second snippet of "Sympin'." Then they proceeded to tone it down a little bit. Shawn explained that Mike had a very severe back problem and that he shouldn't even be on tour performing, but he was there anyways because he couldn't let his fans down. After that, they sat down on the edge of the stage, and sang "On Bended Knee." Shawn was looking right at me when he was singing his part, so I sang along with him. As his part ended, he handed me his towel. I won't tell you all anymore about the concert because I don't wanna ruin it for you all. My girlfriend got a rose during "I'll Make Love to You" from Shawn. During the opening acts, I got to sing with Uncle Sam which was one of the biggest thrills of my life!! We sang the second verse of "Throw Your Hands in the Air" together. It was awesome!!! Well, everyone enjoy the concert as much as I did. I know you will!!!!

Complete Review: COMPARED TO THE ALL AROUND THE WORLD TOUR, THE CONCERT WAS LACKING IN SOME WAYS. THE OPENING ACTS LASTED FROM 6:30 PM TILL 7:45, THE BOYZ ACTUALLY CAME ON AT 8:00 PM AND ONLY PLAYED FOR AN HOUR AND 25 MINUTES, WHICH TO ME SEEMED EXTREMELY SHORT. SOME HOW, THEY COVERED ALL RECENT HITS AND OLD HITS, BUT THEY DID NOT DO ANYTHING IN A CAPPELLA WHICH WAS VERY DISAPPOINING. I HAD GREAT SEATS, IT WAS NICE TO SEE THEM AGAIN. I WOULD LIKE TO SEND OUT MY WARMEST WISHES TO MIKE WHO SAT THIS ONE OUT DUE TO A BACK INURY. OVERALL, IT WAS A GOOD EXPERIENCE, JUST NOT LONG ENOUGH!!! I WANT MORE BOYZ II MEN!!!!
