Well I got a free ticket to see Boyz II Men and I'm so glad I went.
I've heard them on the radio and seen them on tv a lot through the years and thought they were all very talented and had awesome harmonies.
One of the guys, Shawn, even had laryngitis and was a trooper and apologized if he squeaked any.
They put on a great show and even played some motown oldies. Gotta love that!!!
The guys still have their moves down and still sound great.
They mentioned that the song Amazed by Lonestar was first offered to them but they declined and it turned out to sell millions and win a Grammy award. A very bad decision on their part was what Shawn said. They said everytime you hear that song to think of them. lol..
They also mentioned either the New Kids On The Block or Backstreet Boys didn't want them on tour with them.
Maybe someone doesn't want to be overshadowed because of lack of talent. imo.. lol..
They sung the Bonnie Raitt song I Can't Make You Love Me. So love the lyrics of that song.
The part I was anticipating was if they were going to sing Iris. Well, they did and I tried to not totally cringe but of course nothing compares to the Goos version. They can try but no one can replace or come close.
They also retweeted my tweet to them. yes!!!!
