Celebrity Tour

Do Your Thing
The concert starts when the lights are still on. We can hear the guys talking, like someone accidentally turned on their mikes while they were still back stage. We hear someone(JC?) say, "Everybody ready?" and then the lights dim.
On the screens(there were three bigish ones that they take along with them and a couple of smaller ones in Portland that probably come with the RG, since I didn't see them at Tacoma) a b/w interview-ish movie starts playing. The guys talk about how it's really about the movie and 'doing what they love with their best friends'(Thanks, JC). Lance, Joey, and Justin(I believe) all manage to put 'Do Your Thing' in there somewhere. JC wears glasses that make me want to smother him with kisses.
The music starts up and the guys rise up out of stage fog. It's gorgeous.
Bye Bye Bye
It was nice to have this near the beginning of the concert. Such a fun song and it gets you pumped right away. They can jump so high. Man.

It's Gonna Be Me
They do the rocking 'Gonna be, Gonna be, baby' ending on this one, making(in the loosest sense of the word) everyone sing along.
Cue first clothing change.

For the Girl
I was so wonderfully surprised when this song started. It's really beautiful.

God Must Have Spent
Unlike many people, I like this song. 'A lot'. I think that they cut out JC's verse, though. Anyone else notice that?

Tearin' Up My Heart
JC! One handed jump-y thing! Such a bouncy, fun song.

Celebrity
The beginning sounds so much better with Lance in there. Not that I'm biased or anything.
Love the 'camera' flashes.

Up Against the Wall
Wow. This gets my vote for 'Most Improved Song'. They dumped the hos and the square-dancing and now it's a sensual and sexual masterpiece.
The slow-downed moment of the song is amazing. JC and Chris roll back on top of Lance and Joey.
I love the firehouse poles that they leave on.
Cue second clothing change.

Beatles songs
They come out in suits and talk about paying tribute to great artists like the Beatles. I swoon.
She Loves You (Yeah Yeah Yeah)
I didn't know this song at all, but it was fun.
I Wanna Hold Your Hand
This one, I did know a bit, so it was even more fun.
Hey Jude
They have such pretty voices
Twist and Shout
So. Much. Fun. I think that I was actually doing the twist. Very cool. They really are the cutest guys ever. And it's a fun song to sing along to.

Motown songs
My Girl
Oh, god, I adored this. Talk about swooning. "What can make me feel this way? My girl, my girl, my girl. Talking 'bout my gi-ir-irl. My girl."
The Way You Do the Things You Do
I Get Close To You
I wasn't familiar with either of these songs, but they were fun and Lance sang a bit.

Sailing
JC's introduction of this was adorable.
And wow. I was not expecting the awesome two-stepping. Get down with your bad selves!
Cue third clothing change.

Tell Me, Tell Me Baby
Opens with the video of JC in a studio, acting out the first bit to the song.
They're so... forceful on this song. Meep.
God! JC rocks the house when he sings, "Damn you!"
And this is where we first see Lanceinorange. Woo!

No Strings Attached
They swing. On ropes. I die from the hotness.

This I Promise You
It's sweet and pretty and they do a great segue into the next song.

I Drive Myself Crazy
Chris! Singing! Whee!

I Want You Back
Blues version. I could not possibly ever manage to express just how wonderful and amazing this(and the apparently spontaneous, judging from the other shows, banter) was.
It started with a hilarious story about them being hungry in New Orleans(Which JC claimed was the 'Home of the Blues', which Justin protested about, saying it was Memphis, and JC telling him that it was his story, and then JC did a little of If I Only Had a Brain and said, "He's my friend, I can do that[make fun of him].") and going to Chili's. JC is the worst spokesman ever because he really lacks any subtlety.
Then they go into the song which is heart-breaking. For the first time, I Want You Back was set to music that fit its words.
Cue false exit and final clothing change.

Gone
Gorgeous. The chorus was rocked out and amazing. Justin was a total rockstar.

Girlfriend
Lance. Stalking. Yellow shirt.
Very nice.
I liked the video bit with Nelly.


Pop
What a killer song to end on. And I grinned when instead of saying, "I'm tired of singing." Justin said, "Man, I feel good."
