Concert Review: Going MmmmBop with Hanson

Although the ubiquitous Mmmbop may be the only song most people know from these brothers, pop lovers like me actually has mined their discography with a lot of other great pop songs which have the same infectious beat as that hit.  In a way, Hanson's music is like antiseptic pop, much like how the boys live - no rowdy hotel thrashings, no news of sex with groupies - just joyful pop music sang in combined melodic tune by these three brothers who can sing. 

I could safely say that 80% of last night's crowd were girls.  Not surprising considering how cute the boys are, especially Zac and Taylor.  Everytime the cameraman pans their faces, especially Zac's, the whole coliseum erupts in shrieks, especially when the cameraman really zooms in his face.  It's apparent Zac's pretty shy since he just smiles and waves and doesn't even talk or say hi.  Everyone loved it everytime he brushed his hands across that long hair of his.  Picture a very cute Samson with twinkling eyes!

Anyhow, good thing the boys do sound great and they can still play a mean set, fifteen years after gaining worldwide fame.  Their current songs may not find any radio audience anymore but I still like many of them.  They sang Waiting For This, Thinkin' Bout Something and Give A Little, from their latest CD, Shout it Out.  And did a slew of hits like Where's the Love, Thinking About You, If Only, Penny and Me, and of course, Mmmbop.  Mysteriously, they omitted I Will Come To You!  Not even in the encore!

One of the highlights last night was our observation of how nice Taylor's ass was and how big his package was too!  The cameraman, who we think is gay, just shows his ass from time to time and especially when Taylor jumps, you just can't just take your eyes off THAT!  It was really amusing!

Only Taylor was a bit wild (which is even tame compared to most acts) last night and Zac and the oldest brother were pretty behaved.  Incredible really, considering how goodlooking they are.  I guess their shyness has become part of their appeal.

I would love to hear what their next album sounds like.  As I told you, I love pop music and these boys' music has been as infectious as it was when they started almost two decades ago.
