Boys II Men Concert in Paris

So this may sound silly to some of you but I went to the Boys II Men concert on the weekend. Too be honest I was a little sceptical but it was actually a really good concert. I had a lot of fun and knew more of their songs than I had realised! Lol They did an amazing rendition of Lonestar’s Amazed. (Which it turns out was offered to them by their record company but they didn’t think it was good for them at the time so they passed it up. Too bad, since Lonestar made it a number one hit and got a Grammy for it! Lol) They also did some the Beatles, the Four Tops and even Aerosmith. The odd thing about the concert was that it was in Paris and although most of the crowd were French, the band spoke maybe one or two words in French and that is all! They also did a lot of speaking in English; you know explaining their songs and such, which must have been frustrating for some of the French people, especially those that don’t know very much English. They even did an explanation of the song Mama and told people to call their moms on their cells and hold them up to the stage, they even took a few of the phones closest to the stage and sang into the phone. Again, may not have meant very much for those who don’t understand English! Lol But the funny thing was, and I think someone forgot to tell the band, but the following morning was France’s mother’s Day!! Quite fitting if you ask me. They also did another song which was a love song and then handed out a dozen roses each to the crowd. But the thing that amazed me the most was that anytime they would ask the crowd to sing along and hold the microphone out over the crowd everyone would sing the song in English and it sounded amazing. There was one point were they sang the entire chorus and it was perfect English. You would never have known that it was a mostly French crowd.
