    I went to see *NSYNC at the Woodlands with my sister. Expecting to see a lot of Boy Bands and have lots of screaming teenagers all around me, little did I know would become a HUGE fan of one of the performers at the show. We got to the gates about 4 hours early t be sure we got good seats on the lawn and when we showed up there was a side stage close by where we could see people rehearsing before the show. I saw a guy singing and three others beside him. Immediately my eyes went to this really cute guy who had long dark brown hair, split down the middle with the cutest smile I had ever seen. I hit my sister on the shoulder and said "Man, that guy is really cute" and from that point on I couldn't keep my eyes off of him. I thought he was just a dancer for the other guy and later he came out of the gates and a few girls crowed around him. I didn't know what it was aall about but I would have flet funny going up to a dancer and saying I think you are really cute and can I have picture with you. (It would have been funny if I had because at that point I still didn't know it was Billy Crawford the singer.) Later he got back on the stage and started singing a little then my sister told me "Oh, that's the Mary Lopez guy" I said "huh? he is a singer?" she told me the deal about him and I was like "OK cool" Once we got to the arena my siter ran ahead of me to get good spots for us while I was suppose to buy some bottled water and go find her (we were pretty much dehydrated at that point) I bought the water and was heading back when the first guy I saw started performing (Micheal or something or other) (that would be Micheal Africk) I knew that when Micheal was through Billy would be next and there still weren't that many girls by the small stage. So I waited meanwhile my sister is dying of thirst!! Once Billy got on stage I was memorised he has such a great stage presence and really knows how to play up to the crowd. His songs were goo even though I had never heard him before, so I couldn't sing along. What really got me though was his dancing. I took 4 years and I love watching people dance and really good choreography. This guy knows how to MOVE!! I couldn't keep my eyes off of him the whold performance. He was amazing. And that smile!! UGH!!! Well, when he left I turned to leave and saw that I was now standing in front of crowd of at least 75 girls, and I had to make my way through them all to get back to my sister. I didn't wait around to see the other acts. My sister must have got tired of haring all about Billy cause I was so excited when I got back, that's all I tallked about. I bought his CD the next day and love it, and have been a fan ever since!!!
