#SHOWBIZ: Boyz II Men unmistakably charm KL again
LEGENDARY R&B group Boyz II Men recently lit up the Mega Star Arena with their timeless harmonies and emotional performances, treating a sold-out crowd to a powerful wave of nostalgia.
The American trio, comprising Nathan Morris, Wanya Morris, and Shawn Stockman, once again proved why they remain the undisputed kings of R&B, even decades after their 1990s heyday.
Organised by Shiraz Projects, the Boyz II Men Live in Kuala Lumpur concert attracted over 5,000 fans, including a special appearance by the Sultanah of Terengganu, Sultanah Nur Zahirah.
The evening kicked off with an energetic set by local DJ Skeletor, who had the crowd dancing well before the main act took the stage.
From the moment the group stepped into the spotlight, the arena erupted in cheers.
With their trademark smooth vocals and soulful delivery, Boyz II Men captivated fans with a setlist packed with hits, heartfelt moments, and touching tributes.
Opening with fan favourites like "Can't Let Her Go", "Don't Stop", "Water Runs Dry", "Cupid", and "Can You Stand the Rain", the group instantly transported the audience back to the golden age of 1990s R&B.
The crowd erupted during emotional renditions of "On Bended Knee" and "Hey Lover", the latter featuring an energetic and extended outro.
Other highlights of the night included stirring performances of "Please Don't Go", "Four Seasons of Loneliness", "Locked Out of Heaven", "Come Together", and "Purple Rain", along with an emotional tribute to music icons Prince, Michael Jackson, and Whitney Houston.
One of the most anticipated moments came when the group performed their iconic duet with Mariah Carey, "One Sweet Day", drawing the crowd into a unified sway across the venue.
The concert concluded with a romantic flourish as Boyz II Men performed "I'll Make Love to You", handing out roses to the crowd.
They followed it with their timeless anthem "End of the Road", bringing the night to a heartfelt close.
But just as fans thought it was over, the trio returned for a surprise encore of "Motownphilly", transforming the concert into a high-energy celebration.
After the concert, satisfied concertgoers flooded social media with praise, hailing it as a nostalgic R&B dream come true.
The setlist, stage presence, and emotional resonance made it a night to remember for fans both old and new.
Currently on their "Legacy of Love" world tour, Boyz II Men had already performed in Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines before their Kuala Lumpur stop.
Following this concert, the band continued their tour to Indonesia, Australia, and New Zealand.
This performance also marked their first in Malaysia since Dec 1, 2019, reaffirming their enduring legacy in the hearts of R&B lovers across the globe.
It was truly a celebration of timeless R&B hits and nostalgia, showcasing over 30 years of chart-topping songs and unforgettable music.

Star-packed, Covid-shaped 'Death Stranding 2' drops this week
Death Stranding 2, which drops June 26, reflects Kojima's hope that people will rediscover analogue ways of being together following the years of isolation, he said. — Kojima Productions PARIS: Japanese video game legend Hideo Kojima releases Death Stranding 2: On the Beach this week, a star-studded PlayStation sequel inspired by the Covid pandemic. Kojima has said the follow-up to the meditative 2019 game, in which Walking Dead star Norman Reedus played post-apocalyptic deliveryman Sam Porter Bridges, is "about connection". "The social situation was that everyone was divided" when development began on Death Stranding in 2016, Kojima said as he presented the new instalment at Los Angeles' Summer Game Fest on June 8. "I said, let's get connected. Right after that, we had the pandemic, and my fiction became a little reality" as people communed over new digital channels, he added. Death Stranding 2, which drops June 26, reflects Kojima's hope that people will rediscover analogue ways of being together following the years of isolation, he said. The first Death Stranding was a hybrid between a hiking simulator and a classic action game. It was set in a gloomy, fantastical science-fiction universe where characters are aged by the rain and carry foetuses that warn them of dangerous ghostly creatures nearby. Reedus's character Bridges had the job of reconnecting the last outposts of civilisation in a devastated United States following a disaster. This time Bridges's adventures will bring him to Mexico and Australia, in a story that 61-year-old Kojima – creator of the equally fantastical Metal Gear stealth action saga – said was completely rewritten in light of Covid-19. "I already had the DS2 idea but I had to scratch that off because I experienced the pandemic. So I rewrote," he said. "It's a new connection... I put that in the game system and I want everyone to experience that," Kojima added. French actor Lea Seydoux – a star of films like James Bond adventure No Time to Die or Quentin Tarantino's World War II romp Inglourious Basterds – returns in 3D form alongside Reedus. But new big-name talent is also along for the ride, including American actor Elle Fanning and the likeness of Mad Max director George Miller. French singer Woodkid composed the score for the new episode. Kojima Productions, the eponymous studio the developer founded in 2015 after leaving Japanese giant Konami, said in March this year that the first Death Stranding had more than 20 million players. And the franchise is broadening out to other media, with a feature film in development with American studio A24 as well as an animated film. Kojima is already turning his bottomless energy to other projects, including a horror game, OD, co-written with American director Jordan Peele (Get Out, Nope) and developed in partnership with Microsoft. He is also returning to the world of spy games in the vein of Metal Gear with a new espionage title, PHYSINT. – AFP
