'Glee': Backstreet Boys, Brian Littrell campaign for 'Glee' spot

From Britney Spears to Lady Gaga, Glee has featured some of the most iconic pop music of the last decade. And now, one of the groups that made pop music such a roaring phenomenon, is looking to get involved with the hit Fox comedy.

On Monday, Brian Littrell of the Backstreet Boys started a campaign to get involved with "Glee." The 36-year-old boy band member started the push with his personal Twitter page. Hitting up his 116,000 followers, Brian encouraged his fans to spread this message: "Power of the Chirpsters!!!!! Calling all who care! Get the Backstreet Boys on Glee!!! could you imagine? Oh yes I could! Chirp! Go go go."

The Backstreet Boys have a large and diverse following, coming together with five young men in 1993. The group has sold over 130 million albums, making them the best-selling boy band of all time. Now that the group has teamed up with New Kids on the Block for a blockbuster 2011 tour, their popularity is getting a resurgence.

Organizers said the 30,000 tickets for the concert had been sold out and they had to use four gateways into the stadium to cope with the crowd.

When the first sounds echoed from the speakers, the stadium exploded with chants ‘Backstreet Boys’. The entire audience later joined Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell and A. J. Mc Lean in their singing and dancing.


The Backstreet Boys captivated the entire stadium with their classic songs such as Everybody, I want it that way, Show me the meaning of being lonely, and Shape of my heart as well as the new songs like She’s a dream, PDA, and Bye bye love.

After the performance, Le Thi Huong, aged 26, said that “their voices remain fantastic though they didn’t dance as well as when they were younger”.

The concert was also attended by many foreigners in Vietnam.
