Boys II Men Concert at the Scera Amphitheater in Orem


Thursday night the 28th marked the return of the once Jive, motown, cooleyhigh harmony group from Philadelphia, Boyz II Men. For those who don't know much about this group they have sold over 60 million records worldwide and have earned 4 grammy awards. This was my 3rd time seeing them perform live. The last time i saw them perform was when i was in high school. Dave and I went and had seats on the floor 4th row from the stage. Matt and his wife were two rows in front of us.


The best word to describe the night is awesome. We all had a blast. The sold out crowd gave Boys II Men an overwhelming welcome. I could tell that the group was excited to see so many fanatic people so excited to see them, and i could tell they weren't faking. The even busted out their own cameras to take pics of them with the crowd in the background.





The concert was extremely loud and probably left me with some ear damage, but i'll survive. They are only a group of 3. The 4th retired in 2003 after Scoliosis kept him from doing on stage performances. So they were missing the Bass, but still kept the harmonies going strong.


They sang songs from all of their cd's, most of the well-known songs, plus they busted out quite a few Motown classics and had sweet dance moves for each song. It was great to be up front. I have a ton of pictures and video clips that i took and put some of them up onto my facebook page. The videos are the best, but they take too long to upload, so i'll just put a few photos up here.

I have a feeling that Boys I Men will be coming back to Orem someday soon.
