Johnny Review APRIL 4th, 2000 - THE CHICAGO STOP ON THE JOHNNY NO NAME 9 CITY SWANG

I went with my little brother, seeing as how all my friends couldn't go.(grrrr) We left early this time, on account of last time we went, we arrived late. We got there around 5:45 and had to wait out in the freezing cold until 6:30. Then we had to wait inside until 7:00 before they let us sit down. While we were waiting in the lobby, the guy standing behind me looked just like Justin Timberlake. I wanted to runaway screaming or turn around and smack him, whichever instinct kicked in first. Neither one did. It's a good thing, cause it wasn't really him.

Then we waited. Then they lights dimmed and HE walked out onto the stage. I never knew a man could look so good in jeans. I don't remember exactly what took place during these brief few moments. I remember him saying "I will freak you wild." Then he said some thing along the lines of "We will freak in the bed...(freak in the something else. I think I had a momentary lapse of unconsciousness) And freak in the bathtub." On that note I fainted. When I had awaken, he was introducing Mindi.

MINDI ABAIR

I have only one thing to say about Mindi... She......kicked................ .............ASS!!!!!!!!!!

He came out again and introduced the group of noise. He called them "Nobody's Angels". I called them "Nobody's favorite group". At first, I thought they were cool. Their songs had a nice beat and I wanted to get up and boogie. But then it went on and on and on and on. And then it went on somemore. After about the 9th or 20th song, I began to zone out. Then I realized they sucked. Half the time, half of them forgot to sing. I guess that's the advantage of having pre-recorded tracks - you don't have to put much effort into it. But I guess I was the only one that noticed. They didn't dance much either(if you can call it dancing). They just paced the stage and every 10 seconds one of them did a little spin around. It was beyond annoying. I swear to God, if one of them had said "Come on!" one more time, I would have charged the stage and beaten the 4 of them senseless with their own shoes.

Finally, after what seemed like days, they left. Then after a few minutes of nothing, Johnny came out. Of course the girls screamed at his brilliant British accent. I fainted a few times myself. He said "Be cool...be real... and BEHAVE, BABY!!!" He rubbed his butt when he said that. It was great. He sang a few songs that I couldn't name to save my life. It was just alot of noise and him screaming. Then he sang "Back At One". A shiver went down my spine. It was the most beautiful thing. He has an incredible voice. Then he sang some other stuff. I remember hearing "Bad To The Bone" "Play That Funky Music" and he sang a faster, more rock version of "Hey, Mr. DJ". Then he asked for a chair. He said his bum was tired. So he sat and then he sang "Lay Down Beside Me". He desribed it as "romantic....slow....and sexual." Then he told the audience while he sang it, to pretend he was standing next to them wearing "absolutely nothing". Everyone screamed of course. After he finished singing, he said "Now I'm horny." My blood pressure shot through the roof. Then he sang a few other songs. Part of "Don't Want You Back." and "If You Knew What I Knew." And he finished with "Brick House".

All in all, it was a GREAT show. Better than the Backstreet Boys concert. MUCH BETTER!! Props to AJ. He said the words, "sexual activity", "sexual", "horny", "bra", "ride all day and all night" and "freak in the bathtub". He also sang a few lines of "Get Naked", which I thoroughly enjoyed.

This has led me to two conclusions... Number 1 - teenyboppers were put on this earth to piss me off.
Number 2............AJ IS THE SEXIEST THING ON TWO LEGS!!!
