Backstreet Boys Tour Opener A Big Pop Show Done Well

Deborah Wilker of the Hollywood Reporter reviewed the Backstreet Boys’ tour kickoff at the Sound Advice Amphitheater on Friday (July 22) in West Palm Beach, Florida. Wilker writes, “Other than the fact that [Nick] Carter still can’t sing at all and should not be thrust forward as if he can — he was alarmingly out of tune at times — the breezy 95-minute set was a textbook example of a big pop show done well: earnest presentation, pretty melodies and, blessedly, no crotch-grabbing.”
