Backstreet Boys, New Kids New Year's Eve 2011 highlight

Welcoming in the New Year, the Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block charged into Times Square to an ear shattering amount of screams and howls.

A New Year's Even 2011 highlight on New Year's Rockin' Eve, these two boy bands banded together again for an astrounding crowd estimated at about one million. That's nothing for these show biz veterans but perhaps the outdoor atmosphere and the meaning of the occasion ramped up the energy even more than its usual epic level.

Whatever it was, this collabation was not only highly anticipated but utterly enjoyed so much so that's it's what everyone's talking about on the social media circuit the day after even though chatter started late in the afternoon. Perhaps a fair share of hangover action on the first day of 2011 had something to do with that but the revelry was remembered.

And if not, it's not too late to take a look as the Backstreet Boys and the New Kids on the Block get together for a giant New Year's Eve 2011 highlight. Love it? Thoughts? Thanks.

    I have family members who adore NKOTB, so I'm sure they were ecstatic, though they couldn't be there in person to see the "kids" perform.
