This Is Us Tour

[4] To introduce the tour, Nick Carter stated: "[It's] a pop show, dancing, singing, cool gags, just big energy, explosions.

[6] During the summer of 2010, the Backstreet Boys joined New Kids on the Block onstage at the Radio City Music Hall (as a part of NKOTB Casi-NO Tour), where the groups performed "I Want It That Way".

[8] The tour is created by Live Nation Entertainment as an outlet to reignite the boy band fad in the United States.

Ed Power (The Independent) provided the group with a positive review stating, "Backstreet also deserve credit for not over-indulging in the customary patronising patter you get from most pop acts.

You might think four men with an average age of 32 (I’m sorry to remind you of that) would feel they are beyond the baggy jeans, printed hoodies, huge trainers and exaggerated ‘running man’ dance moves.

"[46] Keegan Prosser (The News Tribune) wrote, "The night proved to be a perfect flashback for the fans that have been there since the beginning, even if the nostalgia of it all left me longing for the sugary-pop of yesteryear.
