JORDAN KNIGHT, JOEY MCINTYRE & MARIO CANTONE AT "CHUM FM CHRISTMAS WISH BREAKFAST"

Joey McIntyre & Mario Cantone  in Toronto - December 2011

The Fun was in full-force bright and early today at Toronto's Masonic Temple for the annual CHUM FM Christmas Wish Breakfast. The Event is in support of the CP24 CHUM Christmas Wish Campaign which together with Toronto Social Services, supports over 300,000 people who need Toys and Financial Aid over the Holidays.

Fans arrived at the Venue as early as 5:30 AM to see performances from Toronto's v. own LIGHTS and New Kids on the Block Hearththrobs Jordan Knight and Joey McIntyre, flying in to perform Peace on Earth three hours into the Show.  Super-funny Sex and the City Star Mario Cantone (a Friend of McIntyre) also made an appearance singing Baby It's Cold Outside on-stage together before hoards of devoted, screaming Ladies.

Although the Gentlemen were in a rush following the Show, they came outside to give out some Hi-fives and Handshakes to Fans.  "Sorry it was so short today!", Knight apologized on his way out. Cantone was super-nice to pose for a quick Snap.

NKOTBSB TOUR HITS TORONTO'S AIR CANADA CENTRE - PICS, REVIEW & VIDEO

NKOTBSB at Air Canada Centre

Although many of you - primarily Men - have your reservations about the concept of an NKOTBSB (New Kids on the Block & Backstreet Boys) Tour, I'll have you know that your approval isn't needed as the wildly-entertaining spectacle is everything it's touted to be for Female Fans. Over two hours of gyrating, shirt-tearing, genital rubbing, surprise audience pop-ups and on-stage serenading from two of the most successful Boy Bands in the history of Pop Music, are exactly what the Ladies paid top dollar for.

Walking into the first of two Air Canada Centre Shows tonight, I had pretty much thought that both Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block were on-par with one another in my books.  I did grow-up witnessing the rise of both entities and in their respective eras, they were something v. special indeed; they still are. After seeing both Bands zip through an array of Hits from their respective Catalogs, I am certain now that I am indeed a bigger Backstreet Boys fan.  Totally.

The evening began with a Mash-up of Coldplay's Viva La Vida beneath New Kids' Single and Backstreet's The One, which had all nine Performers on-stage together at once.  In addition, the two joined forces again later on Backstreet's Larger Than Life and new collaboration Don't Turn Out the Lights.  Donnie Wahlberg brought-up the energy on tracks from New Kids with a bit of rapping, unafraid of flaunting his body, while Jordan Knight and Joey McIntyre proved to be the true heart and soul of the Group with their solid soaring vocals.  Surprisingly, tracks like Please Don't Go Girl, Tonight and I'll Be Loving You Forever didn't really stand the test of time live, especially when paired alongside the Backstreet repertoire.

Backstreet's Mid-tempo Ballads still deliver an impact especially with some of the younger Ladies in the audience, including I'll Never Break Your Heart, Quit Playing Games with my Heart and I Want It That Way - all which had the audience singing along in unison.  Their Choreography and Vocals show a level of refinement which only comes with constant Touring and the Backstreet Boys haven't lost a step at all.
