Backstreet Boys - Masquerade ** Soundcheck @ O2 Arena London 10 Nov 2009

[shafaraal]

I love Brian and Howie!!!

[kristenrjs7]

Poor Brian has to hold that note so long!! No wonder he doesn't like that song!!

[6507loida]

this song fits to Nick... he has a very sexy voice in here...

[melissaa2514]

haha well no wonder why Brian hates this song...he has a minute long note every 2 minutes! that's not fair! but he still sounds wonderful after all these years so he can just suck it up :)

[january284]

this is  funny.

[iloveJBbsb]

Brian seems so angry and laughing at the same time! =)

[ortonchick05]

If I was Brian o I'd hate it too damn but it's still good feel bad for Jhim

[peanutvera]

Masquerade is such a difficult song to sing if you're singing it by yourself. First off, the notes fluctuate between low and high and then you have to also fluctuate between your real voice and falsetto. To top it all off, you have to hold the notes forever. It's just an never-ending onslaught against your throat. It's definitely not fun to sing, much more fun to dance to xD Most "singers" these day would not sing this song live - probably lip-sync to it. that's what makes BSB awesome.

[heartoncollision]

The only thing I could focus on here was AJ's scarf. I have it. It came with a highliter pink shirt.

[and20mcr]

Poor Brian<3

[haemings]

I love Brian's scaft :X

[klmk1984]

Why does Brian hate the song so much?

[CrazyKaosBabe]

@klmk1984 cause he has to sing in a falsetto for the majority of the chorus. Not as easy peasy as he makes it look and sound.

[alesia527]

the look on brians face tells the story he really hates this song and i can see why long note.

[Tulllip27]

ahah Brian is so cute lols. These guys just better and better, can't wait to see them in July !!! :)

[kesun15]

LOOOOOOOOL @ Brian...! What's with him? XD

[johdorada]

sure he hates this song.. it's like he can't really breathe til it's over, i would hate it too if i had to sing his part

[tiapatin]

oh my aj i so hot!

[somebody8790]

why don't they give brian a part to sing? he's got an amazing voice. :DD

[lilyflak28]

Pobre Briann!!!!! Y los demas bajan la guardia cuando lo ven asi, porque tampoco se emocionan!!!! Y Brian lo dice bien claro al final, hate this song!!!!

[Deeeiiiseee]

[Blueebeel]

I love how Brian stops holding the note then moves back and fourth in front of the mic.

[TACYLETY]

[bsbfreak]

LMFAO @ Brian holding that note!! I love him!!! What kind of camera did you use?? I love the quality!!!

[amongthefallen17]

Saw 'em at Chicago, the sound check wasn't like this, they sang 2 and a half songs and then 3 questions. It was only 15 minutes long. D:

[phoenixmoon3]

NICK.. THUD!! love it. thanks !

[IWillLiftMineEyes]

Brian is hilarious!!

[TheBsblover1]

[JonasBandFan24]

[Kimsmakeupreviews]

[Kimsmakeupreviews]

[rach0728]

brian isnt real thrilled ...but I LOVE THIS SONG

[93meangurl]

haha! brian looks so cute... love him..

[animefaann32]

LOL brian XD

[panicatthekaitlyn]

Brian hates a lot of songs because they strain his voice. So he usually attempts to sing his parts or doesn't at all. I'm surprised that he doesn't complain about pda. He's got high parts in that one.

[retaeken123]

sooooooooooooo gutted that the fan club messed this sound check up for us , paid soo much money and the details of times were wrong i cried like a baby boo hoo but the concert was AMAZING!

[bluebear14]

Don't die brian lol

[chevaliershirin]

They're awesome!

[Jadebsb]

I Love Brian and Brian is so funny

[jessiehunxx]

but they didnt put it on the album i wish they did itsgreat but they'er teaseing us a bit

KTBSPA!

[francescaarchie]

i dont think brian hates it. i think he's pretending to not like it , one of his goofy acts.

[paolalittrell]

he really hates this song..leighanne said it in twitter

[xbillyjean42x]

brian hates like all the high songs lol. this one..um whats the one from unbreakable..something i already know or something like that.

[Keksmischung]

I love aj's dancing at 1:13

[groovybabyrachy12]

are public allowed to go intoo soundcheckss?? when are theyyy???

[nenabsbakane23]

amo esas cancione bsb 4 ever

[lalisblack]

what did they say at the end????

i just understand to brian!!!

but it's avery high not!!!

i hate this song too Bri haha

don´t worry i'm with u! lol

[mskarioke]

I tried to sing that high note for 5 seconds just to see how Brian felt. Now I understand

[Kaotic4NickC]

me too its tough

[zenokewell]

my favourite in this soundtrack !

[Kaotic4NickC]

brians facial expressions r too funny

[hyp3rn3ssest89]

aw he hates this song... its cuz he has such high notes and for sooooooooo long too over and over. poor brian! lol but its a good song :)

[BackstreetNationTeam]

Point Is Brian Doesn't Hate This Song Cause If He Did He would Refuse To Sing it And I Think He Was Under The Weather This Day Cause In Other Videos Of Masquerade He's Dancing And Singing like its his fave song

[Doacboy]

yea yea but if u can hear brian at the ending, he says " if u didint know, i hate this song " :D:D::D:

[43Nathy]

!!!!! I completely understand Brian why he doesn't like the song....but I really hate his attitude I don't share that he made faces along the song... also I don't like the point that brian doesn't sing!!! why??? he has a great voice maybe that's why he doesn't like this song...

by the way I love the song

yeiiii BSB 4ever!!!

please come to Ecuador we are waiting 4 u!!!!

[stmh09]

big B is like a photo when is singing..he doesn't move at all... haha..i luv the song ..and the boys

[OhMyJonas43]

awh, poor Bri. <333  lol

[SpainJonasHSM]

1:49-1:53---> Look at Brian! He looks your camera! Wow!

[BSBforlife1]

what does aj say? me and brian wanna???? anyone who was there know?

[bsbxtc]

"if u didnt know,i hate this song" poor brian:))))

[28nicklove1]

what did brian say at the end in 4:55??

anyway why did they give brian this part of the song? its exhusting, i feel sooooo sorry for brian!!!

i love this song, it has a lot of meanings...

[Cait5390]

haha got to agree Bri donest look to happy singing...but he does have to hit the masquerade note very high and i know that must hurt his vocals after a few time....lol.....but at he end of the vid he flat out says he hates the song....lmfao....oh well i like it hahahah

[bluecoolnight]

Bi rack is so lol haha

and of course, it'snot that he hates the song, it just kills his voice. he should serio8usly qin trophies for vocalrange, considering this as a soundcheck = too good

[BabyKaos80]

What a face bri -.- this is the best song of the album try to understand!!

[debbyzeq]

wow

[andallthatshimmer]

Hahaha omg poor Brian!!! Love you!!! He doesn't really really hate the song, just gets a lil annoyed with repeating the same high note so many times, hahah

[IrinaMsc]

Brian!!! Love him

[amyflare]

Awesome song! And they could do a great video for it... I still hope it'll come out as a single..

[ninafriki]

Hahaha oh yeah brian really haye it lol!

[Doacboy]

HAHAHAH omg

GO BRIAN !! ==DDD

[Dominicsmummyuk]

amazing...i saw them the night before at the echo arena...these guys are so underrated and are fantastic and talented...xxxxxxxxxx

[Ladykershaw]

How do you get to go to these soundchecks?

[haidys1000]

i dont sing he hate the song because of the song ...the true is he dose not have his own singing part like the rest in this song...he only needs to sing the choch...so it\s bouring....so this a reason why this song can not be a singel because Brian part is missing

[phewcharyztik]

I don't think he means he actually hates the song, just performing it coz it's a hard song for him to do.

[Skitzokurama]

Aww! Poor Brian. The man is dying here! Even with his amazing vocal range that note is high! I would hate it too if I had to hold a note that high for long ass 8 measures...but I don't... so I love it. *glee*

[icc2010]

y dont thy sing ths in the show, its an awsome song

[nilyb]

fantastic :)

[nothingelsetotype]

What? BRIAN! :D :D I LOVE THAT SONG!!!!

[iomi23]

is this the real concert or just a rehearsal?

[phewcharyztik]

It's just the soundcheck rehearsal before the proper concert.

[iinkaa]

Hahahah, I love Brian! :D

[noura5i]

i love u backstreet booooooys <3

luv the song

i love u briaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan ;*

[pradatasje]

geweldig! wat een grapjas =P

his face, like..."ok, i have to sing this...when will it ends" hahaha XDDD

feel sorry for brian...but this is one of my fave song of the new album =D

[andmyusernameis]

me too!

[queeniejonas]

oh Brian, how can you hate this song?

[safira1981]

Go Brian!!

Thanx for sharing ;-)

[Tukenssen]

very cool song i <3 it

[mike550]

For a soundcheck they do a great job on this song.

And for everyone saying Brian has a bad attitude...that's hilarious. Any BSB fan that knows Brian knows he's a joker and likes to goof around. He's got one long ass note that must be a bitch to hit so of course he's not gonna be the biggest fan of the song!

Although this song rocks, I always wondered why Brian had almost no part in this song. He also has very little to sing on If I Knew Then.

[janbaby1980]

He could be just screwing around, he may just hate it because he has just has one word to sing MASQUERADE LOL but anyway I LOVE THAT NICK SINGS MOST OF THE SONG OMG HE IS SO HOOOOTTTTT!!!!!

[funnyhunnybunny13]

the high note id not: masquerade.....

it's: tonight.....

[janbaby1980]

oh well either way its still a hot song regardless of what brian is singing.

[leonelaBSB]

NICK I love U ♥

Masquerade (AHHHH)

Masquerade (AHHHHHHHHHHH)

I love this song

[hbkapprentice]

i heard that they could do the song live with coreography coz brian would need to be still to deliver the long note.

[Kocoq]

Brian, pls try to love Masquerade because i love it <3 and to hear about the fact that you hate this song really makes me lose my enthusiasm :(

[spoukette]

I love that song and I think it would have been great during the show... Even if Brian hates it. It's probably not the only song one of them doesn't like but has to sing it anyway.

Thx for sharing your videos. They are great.

[RomiMcLean]

temazo!!

debió estar en el tour

[sweetnesschic]

Hmm, it kind of upsets me how poor brians attitude is in this video. Like really, the boys have said they don't like other songs yet they still pour their heart and soul into it. Brian just seems really ungreatful here.

[zBeebleBroxx]

they just have fun in soundcheck...they perform all the time...so this is their time to fool around...let them...voices hurting or not... and this song sounded great live! ktbspa

[wlx]

how can it hurt your throat if you're not supposed to strain it while singing?! you sing from your stomache, and if you sing long notes, you use the muscles in your stomache, not your throat..

he doesn't have any problem singing this song and he doesn't have any problems singing "STIAK" either..

[uzumakijenny]

yeah, you are so wrong. do you think they would have put this song into the album if it hurted brian's throat?, of course not...

you guys know brian, he loves doing funny faces.

and yeah...they can do it without problems...they're professionals...

they're the Backstreet Boys !!

[kggodess]

you guys are wrong. the notes are long but they are trained. their voices are trained to do high and long notes so it doesnt hurt at all. im a music student myself and they can do it without problems he is making those faces for fun, he is kidding the had a vocal teacher so he can do it. the are professionals on that and they still learning to sing better live but they can do high long notes.

[MissCarterTerenzi]

brian is so cute. omg...wish they would sing this one on tour, i'd love to see his facexDxD

tomorrow i'm gonna go to the concert and i really can't wait.........KTBSPA

[Lolitarw]

ENJOY the concert!! It's great!

[Keishinme]

Poor Brian! I can so easily see why he hates it. That freaking loooong high note he has to hold at the end of the chorus probably just kills his throat.

That aside, he still totally owned that song. Brian has well earned the name B-rok, his voice is amazing and he can ROCK those notes.

The other guys sounded great too!! Thank you for uploading.

[letsgotarheels1]

poor brian....bless his heart

[bsbofficialFanClub]

OK Stop right there!!! Stop calling Brian names he loves the old masquerade but the way he has to sing it since the studio UPDATED IT Made him sing a high note

BTW If your wondering what he says at the ending he says this--

Brian) - If you didn't know, I hate this song,

But I bet you guys love it then hem made that face LOL

[stefynick]

Buy the new album "THIS IS US"

[valebsbnsync5]

this song live is even better... thx

[tez2107]

i was there 2! amazing day!! x

[angiefrick]

LOL!! OMG Brian's face!!! why exactly did he said he hated that song???

[debbyzeq]

Backstreet Boys forever!!!

Tutte Le Loro Canzoni Sono Meravigliose...

[SuadaRox]

wow!! i love this song i haVE IT ON MY MP3 ITS SO COLL AND I LOVE NICK

[mhoney83]

me and brian what...what does aj say?

[okiron]

maybeme and brian, we hate this song.

because they said so in Japanese radio show.

I don't know why .

but ! I love it　(^_^)♪

[drawperfectvideo8]

The reason they hate it is because its like something that i already know. they half to sing to high it hurts there throat

[okiron]

oh I see

thank you

[sh0rtymac85]

at least he is honest lol

[bsbgirlforever]

I like this song, it makes me move my body!!!

Brian, you're just adorable even if you don't like this song!!! hehe!

[delphine8803062008]

love it!!! love nick & aj's energy :D you go brian! :) man he has a VOICE!

[CiaraMcGeehan]

Thanks for posting. I wish I went to the Soundcheck in Belfast now.

[CAYITAPINGU]

hahaha poor Brian... It's a great song actually i think is better than STMH...

xD

[ChiaNing]

tat's brian's personal taste... its okay...

but i cant believe nick didnt bother him at all.. tat make brian looks crazy lol

~

[karolciamagic14]

hahhaa brian why you hate this song ? i think this song is cool

[bsbofficialFanClub]

He said this

"If You didn't know , I hate this song,

But I bet you guys love it" - At the ending

[meritalong]

Yea, you can TOTALLY tell Rok hates the song. No emotion in him at all...too bad too, this song has the potential to be their new EVERYBODY video... it could have been something special.

[wanderingstarz69]

LMAO!!!

"You know I hate that song right?" I love Brian. Poor baby...always gettin stuck with the long ass high notes. Now I know why he cant stand this song.

[PrincessEliBu]

Well... Brian has like one line and that's it. I can see why he doesn't like it.

[wanderingstarz69]

He has the high "a" in Masquerade...and then that long high "I" in Tonight. that's cool they do these things cause now you get to see who has what parts lol

[silverhawk202]

it is super sad. that they hate this song. this is teh song that will make the sound more appealing to the rest of the musical population. disappointed BIG TIME.

[silverhawk202]

can u feel the beat? do u hear the harmonies?

[Dorotea83]

I don't think Brian hates the song in itself, just the way he has to sing it. And it's understandable that he doesn't want it to be a single or in the show if it's too hard on his voice.

[silverhawk202]

it would be the song that exposes them to a new WIDER audience. Wish i had a way to prove it

[DaniLicious1989]

Brian!!!! hahahahahahahaha!!!!

[karo2404]

Brian's soooo funny! He did amazing although Howie, Nick and AJ LOVE doing the song which you can tell from their performance ... they're rocking and enjoying themselves ... and Brian's like "If I have to do THIS one more time I'll kill you guys ... stop it and get me out of this!" *lol* --> It's like from Undone: "You seem so unaffected while I go on in this HELL!" BUt he does his vocals so damn good!

[littleone34]

LOL Hysterical! Poor Brian he always finds one song that kills his vocal cords.. Something that I Already Know

[Dorotea83]

hahaha, Brian's face.... lol, I can't stop laughing! But I get why he hates it if he has to sing that way the entire last part of chorus haha!

[bSbxxhasxxmyxxheart]

the quality of this video is amazing. what kind of camera did you use?

[fritzandaj]

Oh YES - Nice. Thanks for sharing. Later, peace. 1.

[Sarahluzbsb]

Oh Brian, why would you hate this song, it's one of my favorites.

[silverhawk202]

agreed. i was stunned.

[ktbpa]

Haha Brian's face, priceless..

[agos2911]

aww..don´t worry brian..i don´t like that song either..;)

[BSBAJMcleanlover101]

aj is a natural performer =]

[sholykurry]

Wuaa Brian! ^^

[WERTGRE]

AJ rocked the HELL OUT of this song, he's amazing. I don't know why Brian hates this song, its one of the best songs on the album.

[mhoney83]

rght like brian has to throw his voice really high but I LOVE THAT SONG...dont hate brian..dont hate

[beatrisca]

Brian hates that song?!

I've never heard him say he hated a song!!

It's kind sad, if he hate this so much why this is in the album?!

[Lolitarw]

I think they mean more he hates it to sing it live... the way he has to sing it...

[linziTCB]

Brian does not look impressed!! Nick and AJ were well up for it though :) Nice video.x

[Lolitarw]

Brian hates this song.. they say it at the end :) lol

[BsBGiRL718]

was aj in the end about to say that him n brian wanted Fallen angel??
