I don't have a good answer for this, haha. I think it's idea first, then characters, but it never ends up fully formed unless character roles are the immediate successor in the loose plan. I'd rather have fully fleshed out characters and a partially fleshed out idea than the opposite.

I agree with this. I'm usually idea first, then characters too, but yeah... if you don't have characters in mind, it's hard for the idea to really take shape. I have done the "I want to write an A-Rok story" thing, but that never works out for me as well as the other way around. That's when I end up forcing out ideas for the sake of coming up with something for certain characters.

Yes! They should just have a four hour concert and sing all of Millennium, plus the classics, and then some new stuff. That '98 choreography was money. I guess I'm thankful that they've kept the Backstreet's Back and LTL choreography all these years, if nothing else. And, truthfully, I didn't mind that they did medleys/"solos" for about half the DNA album and put in some older songs again. It was more what I expected the residency to be like (though I did really like the surprise GAB).

Donnie is a charismatic performer, but as a singer... well... now I understand why most of his solos were rapping parts LOL.
I would gladly go to a four-hour concert! The problem is they just have too many songs. I want to hear all the singles, plus the old gems that weren't singles, plus every track from the newest album, plus something from the Kevinless era and IAWLT... and it just doesn't all fit into two hours anymore. I like what they did with the shortened solo versions of some of the DNA songs, except they didn't do Passionate justice. They should have sung the whole thing!
I am also grateful they've kept a lot of the old choreo and even brought some of it back, like for WGIGO. Seeing them do the chair dance again after all these years was amazing!

My fault for getting it on Amazon instead of scoping out the best place to get it like I did for Black & Blue, haha.

Dee circa 2006: I should write a Nick romance! *has the vaguest of vague ideas* Perfect! *two chapters in* Eh!
Oh, 2006. That was either my sign to not pigeonhole Nick into things or that I wasn't a romance main genre writer, haha. I feel like the stories never end up as good if I'm just forcing ideas out for something whether it's characters, a tiny idea without characters, or a genre.

Same! But that would also tire them out and there would be less shows overall, probably. I don't want to deny the Boys to a city that wants to see them. I wouldn't mind if they did some mashups with some of the older songs that weren't singles. Anything to hear them again.
Yes! The chair dance! A friend who's a cursory fan went with me to both the Residency and the 1st leg of the DNA tour and she spent most of her time laughing at the things that made me excited, which were the things like that.

I have it for a download here on my Media Archive too, Dee. Fair warning, this can be a black hole cause there's a LOT and I mean a LOT of media you can download here LOL.
