Under the epidemic, most European and American stars are obediently self-isolating. At home, celebrities can still exert influence. On March 29, local time in the United States, an hour-long all-star home concert was held online, this concert has no commercial ads, and all donations will be used to support the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic.
The guests can be described as a luxurious lineup, including the big sister of the music world Maria Kelly, "Pear" Billy Elish, Sam Smith, "Kamila Cabello" and so on. However, a classic song "I Want It That Way" sung by the Backstreet Boy group through cloud collaboration has triggered a hot search.
As a successful music group in the international pop music scene in the 1990s, five old boys rarely shared the same frame, and sang the masterpiece "I Want It That Way" online, and the group's air interaction caused many netizens to sigh "full of memories to kill".
Although it is a chorus, the five people are not perfunctory, and even the harmony is perfect. Brian Littrell, one of the backstreet Boy members, began the singing in his studio living room; Later, the group's male god, Nick Carter, appeared at his home in Las Vegas, singing while showing off his family's large pool and garden; Howie Dorough connects in Orlando, where AJ McLEAN and Kevin Richardson are both in Los Angeles, singing in their own homes. It is worth mentioning that Kevin Richardson's two sons also appeared with his father, one playing guitar and one playing drums.
Backstreet Boy, a classic group that became famous in the 1990s, was not only popular in Europe and the United States, but also became a popular band among young people in Asia. If anyone in the post-70s and post-80s who were still in school did not know about Backstreet Boy, it was really outdated.
In addition to this "I Want It That Way", which evokes memories of killing, Backstreet Boy's representative tracks can be described as numerous, such as
"Everybody", "Larger Than Life", "Incomplete", "As Long As You Love Me", etc., even if the English is not so bright, as long as you hear the familiar melody, most people after the 70s and 80s can't help but hum a few words.
In addition to the Backstreet Boy's popularity in the 1990s, almost the same era of little sweet Britney, was the female singer that countless young girls competed to imitate or love at that time.
In 1999, Sweetie officially debuted at the age of 18, and backstreet Boy already had a fixed fan base. But a song called "Baby One More Time" made fans around the world remember this female singer with an angelic face.
《... Baby One More Time topped the Billboard 200 Album Chart in its first week of release in the United States, becoming Britney Britney's first number one album and winning the title for six consecutive weeks. On July 19, 2004, ...... Baby One More Time sold over 14 million albums and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. 《... Baby One More Time has sold over 30 million copies worldwide and has become one of the world's highest-selling albums.
A few years later, when the red-faced Little Sweetie and Beyoncé and Pink two diva combined to sing "We Will Rock You" for Pepsi, fans around the world marveled at the explosive power of the three goddesses of the music world, ignoring Anriku, who played the king of the Colosseum in the advertising film, you know, Anrique Iglesias is a famous Spanish pop singer, and his status in Spain is equivalent to justin Timberlake in the United States, of course, Anrikui married the beauty of the tennis world Kornikova, which is the last word.
Arguably, Backstreet Boy and Britney opened the door to a generation of European and American music.

The stars sang Lennon's famous song to encourage everyone to tide over the difficulties
In addition to organized cloud concerts, some European and American stars used their free time at home to play fancy anti-epidemic solitaire.
On March 18, US time, "Wonder Woman" Gale Gadot released a video on social platforms. In the video, Gayle Gadot, Oscar actress Natalie Portman, "Hulk" Mark Ruffalo and other stars take turns singing John Lennon's 1971 hopeful classic song "Imagine" to ease the tension around the world in the fight against the new coronavirus.
In this video, all Hollywood artists appear on camera, the picture is real and touching, and the singing is sincere and beautiful. The theme is also very positive: We are in this together, we will get through it together. Let's imagine together. ）
Although the stars are all over the world, they complete the "singing relay" in the air through the social platform Instagram, you and I. In the context of the epidemic, the scene seems more healing.
Home isolation is not lonely Celebrities raise chickens to walk donkeys
If the cloud chorus has made netizens sigh a bit of time and feast their eyes on the luxurious circle of friends of the big coffee, then how do the stars who are isolated at home pass their ordinary daily lives?
The new version of "Spider-Man" actor "Dutch brother" Tom Holland showed his "stay-at-home" life on the live broadcast. Because the supermarket was empty of residents and could not buy eggs, he came up with a good idea to raise his own chickens to solve the problem of not being able to buy eggs. And gave three hens names, Namedator, Chestnut, and Grainger.
The Dutch brother raised chickens during the quarantine, and the retired governor Schwarzenegger raised donkeys and ponies, a pet donkey named "LULU" and a short-legged horse named "Whiskey". These two pets are arguably the favorites of Old Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Schwarzenegger not only ate and played with them at home, but even went to work for the company himself, holding "LULU" and "Whiskey". In addition, Schwarzenegger also prepared "LULU" and "Whiskey" favorite foods in his office for them to enjoy when they were hungry.
In addition, the old governor also likes to ride his bike to accompany his animal friends for a walk in the yard.
If you don't like pets, there are ways to help you get rid of loneliness. Troye Sivan, a South African-Australian singer and actor known as "Poke Grandpa," recently took advantage of his free time in isolation at home to teach everyone how to knit sweaters.
In the shot, "Poke Ye" sits in the garden wearing a very cute straw hat, knitting a pink sweater while interacting with the audience, and finally not forgetting to hold up the sweater in front of the camera to show the fruits of his labor.
Netizen commented: "Look at how far the epidemic has forced the child..."
Epidemic home-time exercise World stars come to the aid
In order to further ensure the safety of the people, more than 20 European football leagues, including the five major leagues, have been suspended, and a large number of players have begun to quarantine at home spontaneously, waiting for the situation to improve. Since many entertainment venues have now been closed, the entertainment during the quarantine period of players is basically based on playing games, because for professional reasons, FIFA football is naturally the favorite of many players.
Although it is temporarily impossible to run in the arena, the Barcelona stars who are isolated at home have recently organized a game game to alleviate their addiction. The team's striker Dembele's superb skills are impressive. He first beat the team's top star Messi in the first leg, and then cleanly won the defender Pique in the second leg, and won the final easily against midfielder Griezmann. After the game, his teammates congratulated Dembele, hoping that his performance on the field would also reach the height of playing the game.
Portuguese star Nani easily completed the challenge at home barefoot. Toilet paper "drew" one brilliant arc after another under his feet, and before he could turn around, Nani passed the roll of paper to his son. Sure enough, "Tiger Father has no dog", Nani's son kicked hard and kicked the toilet paper back.
Among the many challengers, the Brazilian star Kaka's performance is the most outstanding, in the video Kaka uses his right foot to toss the ball, first one foot gently upside down, then lifted up in mid-air with a shoulder rub, and then used his right foot to shoot hard, the whole action in one go, worthy of the successor of "Samba Football".
In addition to the interesting way of turning toilet paper, there are also players who flip babies. Belgium international De Bruyne, in order to show the strength of the footwork, suddenly turned the two dolls upside down.
The "Toilet Paper Challenge" game is intended to promote home isolation and home fitness to fans and the public, so that the epidemic prevention work can be carried out more effectively and quickly. However, this challenge has also caused some people to resent. Since the spread of the epidemic in Europe, a large number of people have begun to hoard daily necessities, including toilet paper, and toilet paper in many supermarkets has been sold out. While the stars are tossing and turning toilet paper, they may as well appeal to everyone: stay at home, but don't hoard a lot of items.
