The Boys were "meh"
by trailergal on 10/29/10Aladdin Theater - PortlandThe crowd was super amped for the Boys to get on stage, so the energy in the room was good. It was great seeing Ricky, Julian and Bubbles in person but the show really lacked direction. I wondered what they were going to do for the entire time and I guess the answer was use a video camera on stage to create a show. It was lame that they resorted to so many TV spoofs like American Idol and Smarter than a 5th Grader. Also, Ricky and Julian did not do much. It was totally "the Bubbles Show"; he did all the jokes and skits were led by him. It definitely was disappointing that given they are only doing two US shows that no special guests tagged along. The crowd thought for sure that Randy and Mr. Lahey were going to appear on stage. The Boys did do a long show and made sure that people got their $35 ticket price worth. However more is not necessarily better: the people I spoke to were ready to leave at the intermission.
