It was a sizzling 98 degrees inside the Bryce Jordan Center as the members of this boy band sang and gyrated to the delight of thousands of screaming fans. The group has been heating things up across the United States to support their latest album Revelation and were joined by show openers Debelah Morgan, Dream and the Baha Men.

The striking young performers of 98 degrees made a grand entrance through a curtain of spraying flames, loud bursts of bright orange fire and a deafening drum beat as the 5,000 plus in attendance, consisting of men and women of all ages, stared in wonderment.

"It's a pleasure to be back here in State College," said Nick Lachey, the most desired member of the boy band.

"98 degrees rules. Nick's my favorite because he's hot," said 11-year-old Samantha Martinez of Tyrone, who came with her mother, Deb Martinez, 34.

Mary McGregor, 41, of Tyrone brought her 11-year-old son Ian to see his very first concert.

"They're very cute," she said of the boy band. "We know all the words (to their songs)."

The young studs were clad in dazzling outfits of white for one of their more popular singles "I Do (Cherish You)," from their debut album 98 degrees And Rising. They also serenaded the audience with a few of the songs from their new album including "Stay The Night."

The boys then switched into coordinating outfits of red and black leather as they performed "Because Of You," from their first album and then sung the long awaited "Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche)," their latest single from the Revelation album.

Debelah Morgan, who kicked off the concert, pranced around the stage in sparkling camouflage showing off her tremendous vocal range and singing "Dance With Me," her single heard recently on the radio.

"Believe in yourself, you can do anything with your life," she announced to her awestruck fans.

Next came the latest girl band on the music scene, Dream. These young heartbreakers sang and danced to their well-known single "He Loves U Not" and excitedly performed their latest song "This Is Me."

"I love the way they sing and dance. I wish I was up there with them," said 10-year-old Melissa Kelly of Lewistown.

The last of the openers were the Baha Men who didn't put too much effort into impressing the audience. The fans were excited and seemed to only want to hear the group's addictive song "Who Let the Dogs Out?"

After four dull songs the Baha Men finally performed the song that made them famous. The crowd roared and joined in on every "Woof, Woof." The group added a little surprise by whooping "Who Let the Cats Out?" as the crowd screamed "Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow."

All in all, the performers were entertaining, especially the boys from 98 degrees.

"This was my first time seeing them. Their voices were great. I just wished they danced more," said Linzee Morrill (senior-journalism).

The groups will be continuing this tour across the U.S. until the end of this month.
