Complete Review: Boyz II Men played at the B96 Summer Bash. It was the best day of my life. Wanya Morris is the nicest singer in the world. Out of all the singers and groups that were there, Wanya Morris was the only one to get off the stage and hug this sick girl. It was the most sweetest thing I have ever seen. Lucky for me I was standing right next to her. My best friend got a rose from Wanya Morris and gave me two rose pedals from it. I will always treasure the rose pedals.

Favorite Song: End of the Road
Worst Song: None
Complete Review: This was the first time I had seen Boyz II Men Live and it was awesome! They opened with "Motownphilly," "Under Pressure," "Sympin'" and those fast songs. Then they asked if they could "slow things down." Obviously no one complained! "End of the Road" sounded sooo good live..so did "Water Runs Dry." Then they said they said they'd take us back in time "when there was no music" and did "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday." Unfortunatley, it was the only song they did acapella. When they did "Baby C'Mon" at the end they turned it up really loud and everyone was on their feet..it was awesome! Overall, the show was great-I never knew they could dance so well. The only regret is that they didn't perform a few of my favorite songs - "I Sit Away," "Girl in the Life Magazine," "Thank You" and "In The Still of the Nite (I'll Remember)."

When: May 17, 1998
Favorite Song: Water Runs Dry
Worst Song: Motownphilly
Complete Review: This was my first concert experience and Boyz II Men did not let me down. I was somewhat saddened by the fact that they did not perform "50 Candles." But thats OK. I thought they started the concert a little off key with "Motownphilly." But after they had warmed up they were awesome. Every note was perfect. Not to mention the fact that there were some pretty cool effects like the background of sparks for "Water Runs Dry." Their performance of "We're Not Making Love No More" was awesome.
After the concert I was just in awe. They are such great singers and at the same time harmonize so well with each other.

Complete Review: If anyone can light up a stage, it's the Boyz!!
Their R&B singing is unparallel, and they deserve all their success.. I was really impressed with their dancing as well..I'd go see them any and every day of the year..And they did most of their new hits, which most people say aren't that good, but I love them, and they show a maturity in music on the Boyz part..Imagine that..a group learns from experience...
That hasn't been done since the Temps! The Boyz sounded good vocally on this night, unlike other artists who sound nothing
like their enhanced CD's when they are live..Great show, and much love to the Boyz..Peace!

Complete Review: At this concert, I was only four rows away from the concert. I had pit seats. I met Shawn`s mom & auntie. They are so sweet. I got a rose from Shawn during the song, "I`ll Make Love to You." That was the happiest day of my life. Mike was looking at me when he was saying his part during "End of the Road." Boyz II Men are the most talented group and I wanna thank then so much for making my life better. I cry whenever I see their videos on TV because they mean so much to me.

Complete Review: The concert was awesome. My grandmother had paid for it for me and she had passed away in June. It was kinda hard goin' to the concert knowing my grandmother could not be with me. She also loved Boyz II Men, she could never get their names right so she always called them Boyz II Us. Anyways, I wish I could have had better seats so I could have better pictures. All the pictures I did take did not turn out all that great. But it was great!

Favorite Song: Baby C'mon and Water Runs Dry
Worst Song: None
Complete Review: It had only been two days since I saw them in Sydney and I was still so excited!!! They started with "Motownphilly" and got the crowd up and dancing! They wore blue jeans and blue shirts with a red vest to begin with! During "Baby C'mon" - Wanya talked to crowd and hit all these powerful notes doing a solo - it was amazing to hear! Wanya made Nate and then Mike speak so all the girls would scream!!! Nate said about Melbourne "well, right about now, there is no other place on the planet I'd rather be" - Wanya then asked Mike what song it was and then what album it was from - Mike said "It's Evolution Baby". Wanya then did all these funny notes with his tongue!! After "Baby C'mon" - Shawn spoke to the crowd - saying they just did their warm up and he asked if Boyz II Men could slow it down for the crowd?
The crowd got in to "On Bended Knee" heaps - everyone was singing! "End of the Road" was great as always!!! They dedicated "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday" to a girl who had died - they must of met someone in Sydney that day and they asked them to dedicate it to a girl who had passed away and so Shawn did!
Mike came out and did a verse of "Uhh Ahh" by himself and was extremely sexy!!! He then asked the ladies to say "Yes Mike" when he said "Hey Ladies" - he once said "Hey Lad" and said "ah ah ah - I didn't say ladies" - he was funny!! He didn't dance heaps during the concert due to his back - but he was so great during this solo part!! The rest of the Boyz came out and finished "Uhh Ahh" with Mike!
During "Water Runs Dry" they got everyone to click and sway - some guys near the front didn't stand up so they weren't going to start the song until they got up and made them get up and do the actions!!! it was funny!! During "I'll Make Love to You" they gave out roses!!! "Can't Let Her Go" was great - Shawn asked people to "shake what ya mama gave ya" lol! - they showed that they are great dancers! They wore the Groove Jerseies which looked great! After "Can't Let Her Go" - Wanya didn't wanna leave - he said "we gotta stay" - he then sung "I'm not going to go no where, you can't make me go no where" - Shawn asked what they should do and Wanya said he don't care. he just didn't want to leave. Wanya wanted to do an encore - give it to them. Shawn said since Wan put them on the spot they were going to do a song everyone knows but they should of been on the bus!! Shawn asked for participation - they got the girls to do "do do dum dums" and then guys to do it in a low voice! It was an awesome concert!! They are so talented and have so much energy and fun on the stage that rubs off on to the crowd!!! They also announced that Mike was having a birthday bash at a night club at the casino - which I went to and met the camera man and said Happy Birthday to Mike (although it felt weird as it was two weeks early) - he said thank you in a sexy deep voice!!! Only Mike was there with band members and his brother.

Complete Review: I can't remember the list of songs they did, the order they did them in or anything like that, since it was almost a year ago. I do remember wondering what act was next, then I saw the huge neon Boyz II Men sign that was being set up. I stopped breathing and started crying hystericlly. Everyone around me thought I was just playing around, but in awhile everyone was staring at me and they couldn't beleive I would actually cry over Boyz II Men! Just the thought that my favorite people in the whole world would be standing on the stage I was staring at, just seeing the crooked Boyz II Men sign with only the B lit up was worth all the money, working, and waiting I had spent. When they finally came on I was doin' just fine and ready to act normal (for once!), so I wouldn't miss a thing. There were two girls sittting a few rows in front of me and my friends that were crazy about Shawn. They were screaming to him and it didn't take long for Shawn to respond. It was the cutest thing because he actually looked shy about the whole thing! He looked up to them, waved, and said he loved them too! My friends couldn't believe what a sweet heart he was, of course I knew since I've been hooked on my boyz since the first concert I went to in 1995, in Salem. Over the show I never took my eyes of the four best performers I've ever seen (and probably will ever see). I swore Wanya saw me and winked to me, of course no one believed me, but later that night another group of my friends that went came running up to me after the show screamin, "I saw Wanya winkin at you!!!" Whether it was true or not, I'll still believe it! One other thing that the guyz got tons of props for is that Next and Uncle Sam didn't perform so they made their show longer and everyone loved it! T hen towards the middle of the show I felt really funny, the last thing I knew I was telling my friend to catch me, then I passed out! As weird as that seems I guess I was just too overwelmed with everything! One other crazy thing I did was, when everyone had their lighters out for some reason I put it to my chest to see if it was hot! Stupid I know, but it left a scar there and I call it my Boyz II Men scar, I'm very proud of it for some strange reason! After the show me and my friends circled the coliseum to find they're bus. We bumped into a security guard who helped us find the bus. We waited by the gates for about an hour. Just before the guys left, I jumped on the fence and I saw them waving to everyone just before they got in they're, not tour bus, but two jet black, tinted Groove Company vans! My friend took the last pictures I had left of them driving off, but they never turned out cause she never turned the flash on! It's ok though cuase I remember the whole night like it was yesterday. We left soon after their vans drove off, in pursuit to go to every nice hotel in Portland to meet them. We couldn't find our car so we were walking around and we saw Destiny's Child! They are the nicest people I've ever met (since I haven't met the men of my dreams yet!). We got all of their autographs and hugs from them. Even though I still haven't met the Boyz I think about them non-stop, I pray everyday that one day the Lord will bless me with the opportunity to meet them. For now it's only a dream. But, one day I believe my day will come. And until it does, this story will be the closest thing I have to meeting them. It was the best night of my life. (So far, until the night I will get to meet them!)

Complete Review: I went to this concert with my best friend Jordy and his girlfriend Nicole and his cousin Gib. I had so much fun listening to and watching all of the acts. Destiny's Child was ok, Uncle Sam was good especially when he threw the letter into the audience. K-Ci & JoJo were so great when they sang "All My Life." I was amazed. But then when Boyz II Men came on all I could do was stare. It was the best concert ever. My still remaining wish is to get one of those roses that they hand out during "I'll Make Love to You." Maybe someday that will happen. Anyways it was a great show and I hope to go again someday soon.

Complete Review: That was my first concert ever. It was a dream come true. My brother and I have been fans ever since their first album. It was always our dream to see 'em live in concert. Now it had come true, but the sad part about it is, that my baby brother passed away in June 1997. So it was very, very special to me. On my baby brothers funeral I played a song by Boyz II Men which said it all. I know he was with me that night. The concert was great, but the sound wasn't too good, plus they didn't advertise very much, so not many people showed up.

Complete Review: The support group was CDB, a Melbourne R&B-type group, but I didn't see them. Wanya was obviously the front man on the night, with what seemed like unlimited power & energy, not to mention a voice that goes to the core of the heart. Michael sat out for the first couple of songs, but made up for it later. Shawn and Nate were great also. Everyone was dancing in their seats, I wouldn't have missed it for the world!

was that I was not close enough to touch them. My favorite is Shawn, I love him, he is funny, always makes the crowd feel
welcomed, loved and wanted. All of them are caring and thoughtful. My only dream and wish is to meet them. They promised to come back next year and I am gonna try and meet them.

Complete Review: This was not a complete concert (damn) they were just opening for Janet Jackson's Velvet Rope Tour here, but they were in my opinion one million times more impressive than Janet. And yet they didn't even have any props or sets or even lighting. I was in the very front row (I still have the bruises to prove it!) and I was five meters from them. The stage wasn't that elevated so they were just a slight bit above my head. I went crazy when they came out. I have loved them since 1994. My favorite is Wanya (originally just for his incredible silky voice), but I was surprised how sexy he looks in real life - way different than in his photos! I got a rose from both Wanya and Shawn during "I'll Make Love to You" and I got MANY adoring looks especially from Shawn. (I would have prefered they came from Wanya but anything from Boyz II Men is better than nothing I say!!) They smiled at me heaps cuz I was the only one singing ALL the words to ALL the songs! They pointed, waved, winked (ya know just the usuals). The photographers at the front of the stage and they for some reason kept taking photos of me (I suspect because my mouth was the most wide open!!) I went to the concert with my ex-boyfriend and he kept saying "can you see Shawn and Wanya looking at you? Why are they looking at you all the time?" I don't know I told him, but I sure ain't complaining!! They started with "Can't Let Her Go", and though I forget the order they sang "A Song for Mama", "On Bended Knee", "I'll Make Love to You, "Water Runs Dry" (my favorite song of all time!), "Motownphilly", "Sympin'", "End of the Road" and "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday". When they left to let Janet take the stage I screamed for them to come back... I didn't want to see her. She was good, but even with her sets, lights, and dancers she couldn't come close to the Boyz. It was simply da BOMB and I'll never forget it. Love ya Wanya.

Complete Review: It was a blur - but they did a good mix from all their albums. I felt I could listen to them for many more hours. They were so full of energy, their dancing has improved since last time I saw them back in 1994. Their singing gets right into you and you just have to get up and dance. The concert was slick and yet it was very laid back. Congrats to the boyz for an inspirational show.

Michael is my favorite because of his low voice! I've been waiting to see them in concert since they came out 1991. That was about eight years ago, now I am 18. The best song they ever sang was "It's so Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday." They brought me up when I was down when family died or whatever! I can say that Boyz II Men will always be in my heart and soul forever!

Complete Review: OHHHHHHHH man I will never forget that night it was the best night of my life! I had front row seats to the left of the stage and I was about one meter away from Wanya when they sang "On Bended Knee" he sat down on the front of the
stage as did all of them. Shawn gave me the hangin' loose sign after I did it to him and Nate gave me a Rose (even though I'm a guy I'm still happy and I don't even feel gay about it) and when the support group were on before they came on me and my cousin Sara were dancin' down the front in front of the whole crowd. My cousin Sara feels even better cause Shawn sang to her. Anyway, it was the best time and I'll never forget it and for sure I'm going to their next one.
