5 Backstreet Boys= 1/2 Whitney Houston?

　　将于9月24日为北京带来“舞夜风暴”的后街男孩和前不久献歌北京的惠特尼·休斯顿在国际演艺市场上身价几乎等同，而后街男孩此次来中国的出场费却不及惠特尼·休斯顿的一半。据悉，后街男孩主动降低身价的主要原因是他们将以北京演唱会作为他们重新组合之后的起飞点。按照艺人代理公司的说法，“我们这次来演出是赔着钱来的”。显然“后街”此次在北京打的是一场人气战，赢得人气便赢得了一切。

US boy band the Backstreet Boys will debut in China after pop diva Whitney Houston wowed local crowds, but the singing group will reportedly earn only half of Whitney's price. A percentage of the concert's ticket sales will be donated to the International Special Olympic Committee. When asked why they were willing to play a nearly non-profit concert, the five members explained that they wanted to make China a new starting point for their world tour after the band reunites from a lengthy break. The band will first perform in Beijing on September 24th, with a follow-up concert in Shanghai on the 26th. In addition, hundreds of Beijing fans will be given the chance to dance with their idols during the concert at the Olympic Sports Center, which goes under the title "Dance Storm".
