Backstage at the grammy

Sourse: Grammy news

The Backstreet Boys have been hanging around Staples Center all night long. A couple hours ago they were backing Sir Elton John on a hot rendition of "Philadelphia Freedom." Now, they just got done taking a turn through their own performance, a kind of medley that ends with a smooth version of "Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely" from their smash Millennium album. The Boys' performance will kick off with an a cappella tease of the Bee Gees' "How Deep Is Your Love," which they deliver with grace and style before segueing to a full-band snippet of the Temptations' classic "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone." They then brake into their own song with the signature vocal harmonies that have made them a worldwide phenomenon. The Backstreet Boys are up for GRAMMYs in the Album of the Year (Millennium), Record of the Year and Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group ("I Want It That Way") GRAMMYs. --David Konjoyan
