Boyz II Men wowed the Polaris Amphitheater audience Tuesday as they performed popular songs from both old and new albums with their trademark harmony and smooth rhythms. Playing to the audience, Boyz II Men showed off their dance steps and flaunted their masculine charm as thousands of ecstatic faces looked on. A group of talented female dancers added to the display with well-placed choreography.But it was Boyz II Men who stole the show. One of the most impressive aspects of the concert was the presence of the respect that the artists held for their fans. Members of the group took several opportunities to thank the fans, talked to the audience in between songs and frequently encouraged them to sing and clap along. Equally impressive were the minimal security checks at the front gate and the allowing of cameras and umbrellas (which thankfully weren’t needed), all of which are policies that are determined by the individual artists for each show at Polaris. As one of the musicians for Boyz II Men said after the show, “We’re a very fan-friendly group.” Indeed, this was the case.The performance was classic Boyz II Men. Just as recognizable as their matching outfits were their danceable beats and harmonizing voices. The songs themselves were extremely well performed. The quality of the singing matched their recorded work, which is the sign of truly talented voices. Boyz II Men definitely did not disappoint audience members with their incredible performance.The group is composed of three high-note hitters, Wanya Morris, Nathan Morris and Shawn Stockman, supported by the mellow bass tones of Michael McCary. The four boys-turned-men from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania started out singing in high school. They got their break when they attended a Bel Biv DeVoe concert and got a chance to perform a cappella backstage for Michael “Biv” Bivins, who signed them immediately.Boyz II Men went on to become a huge hit and developed a base of fans that was well-represented at Tuesday’s show. Young and old, women and men came out in the thousands to see the group perform favorites from all three of their albums, “Cooleyhighharmony,” “II” and their newest, “Evolution.”Midway through Tuesday’s show, the Boyz gathered quartet-like at stage right to perform “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday,” from the “Cooleyhighharmony” album. An onslaught of cheers from the audience followed. There was hardly a mouth not singing along, hardly a body not swaying left to right.The Boyz definitely knew how to play to the ladies at the show, which was made easier because most of their songs are about love and romance. Members winked and smiled at female in the audience as they got down on their knees and crooned the lyrics to their ballads. The roar of the crowd almost drowned out the music with every thrust of the pelvis and every shy smile at an excited fan.Near the end of the show, dressed in bright red jackets and white slacks, the group handed out long-stemmed roses as they performed “I’ll Make Love to You.” Women in the audience literally fought over roses and screamed uncontrollably at the group amidst a white background and red lighting, it looked like Valentine’s Day in June.Opening for Boyz II Men were the sounds of Uncle Sam, Destiny’s Child and Next. Somewhat surprisingly, the Polaris audience was just as enthused about the performances of the opening acts as it was when Boyz II Men took the stage.Their buses rolled out of Polaris Tuesday night headed for Cleveland, but fans in Columbus won’t forget Boyz II Men. If you missed the concert, the Boyz will swing into Cincinnati’s Riverbend Music Center Tuesday, June 30. Boyz II Men will finish this leg of their two-year tour in late July.
