Halfway through the show you're not my kind of girl who started, she happens to be my favorite but something was a little off. I don't remember if the base was wrongly tuned or if the drummer was in the wrong pattern. Something went wrong. The boys looked at each other. stage as they continued to perfectly execute their piston dance steps and the musicians really worked it out during the intro, but before the verse started, Mike said: wait, stop, stop, stop, these are fans, this is our People, this is Boston, we have to fix it. I started this again and they did it and it was flawless, but with that anecdote you already know what the new addition is really about.
The new addition is all about Boston, no matter where they go, they carry the city on their backs in their hats on their jackets, they have unmatched pride. For the city that started them, it is extraordinary and inadmissible. I live there, I know, but most of the new additions are about you, the fans you've always been, but you're especially like this now, there are very few phenomena like the raging hormone-fueled energy of the early years. teenage female but with focused devotion and bloodcurdling screams like that and in the 80s that approach to screaming was for a new addition and there are a lot of you here today so you know I'm telling the truth when I tell you these guys are about their fans because when you go to see them today they don't call you on the phone, you will get your money's worth singing real choreographies and the hits that you want them to do for 30 years, that is being sincere and respectful to the fans.
Plus, you get five acts for the price of one new addition. Ralph the trans man, Bobby Brown, Johnny Gill and BBD. I'm here on behalf of the fans and I also represent Boston because that's what allowed us to meet each other, we're all very proud. of you and I am very glad that you have been here receiving your light during this great week and it will not and next week you will not stop because you will continue to evolve and surprise the crowds, further cementing your legacy in entertainment.

The seven of us, including Brooke, even when everyone is doing their best, we tend to clash and we tend to clash sometimes, you know, and then sometimes we get confused as to who the enemy is. Sometimes it seems like it's us. They are each other, but it's not just safe, you know there are different forces out there, you know, there are egos, there are resentments that try to oppose our plan, our mission, you know, so I want everyone to know that sometimes we can not. find out we don't know what to do and we need you we need God we need yourprayers we need our families we need them you guys to get up you know no we don't want to let our staff desires and problems get ahead of the mission and why we are really here.
