I Want it That Way - 70's Soul Backstreet Boys Cover ft. Shoshana Bean

One of the highlights of our Wednesday night "Postmodern Nights" residency at Hyde in West Hollywood has been appearances by a true vocal legend, Shoshana Bean. Here's our '70s soul remake of a '00s classic, The Backstreet Boys "I Want It That Way." We forgot to wear matching white suits a la BSB, but it's pretty great, just the same!

never did I think I'd hear a 70s soul version of the backstreet boys, but I'm glad I did!

[ARSphototheatre]

Every musical theatre nerd born in the late 80s, early 90s is rejoicing.

[NemFX]

Could you please bring this girl back, and get her to sing some Whitney Houston? Seriously, I'd love to hear her version of 'I wanna dance with somebody' or even 'I will always love you'

[UnderratedSheet]

i think shoshana bean, out of all the singers i've seen on this channel, is the best at using her hands to reinforce or convey her emotions or the lyrics.

[mundaneamazing]

LOVE her voice. Reminds me of 90s gospel.

[holive]

I swear I literally love every single thing about this version, backing singers absolutely nail it as well. IN LOVE.

6+ years later and this is still on my daily rotation

Still sounds so good in 2024 this lady is such a great vocalist and man I love this version of “I want it that way” she put so much soul into it ! She’s giving Jessie J in many parts 😌👌🏾🔥

Everything about this is great, my favorite part is just after Shoshanna hits the crescendo at about 2:30-2:40 Jacob Scesney just beams at her.

[Martineznerina]

Wow!!! I am a die heart fan of the Backstreet Boys and I think this is the best cover of the song that I have EVER seen!! I am still blown away! I Want It That Way is my favorite song and I think you guys rocked it!!! 

[sweeting]

This is the first time I've ever been able to see the drummer. She killed this, I've got chills!

[jovanwilson]

Her vocals right at 2:36 sounds so good!! The whole so just was just perfect though!

[Jamezzzuh]

Haha you can totally see some of Shoshana's musical theater background shining through :)

She's frigging awesome!

[Melbern]

Shoshana just makes everything sound better!

[OkaySoWhat]

AMAZING arrangement! Shoshana Bean has such a great voice, i can hear her whitney-isms! OH and the guys on background were HOLDING IT DOWN as well! Love it

[annonnie]

This woman is one of my vocal heros!!!! Her rendition of Elphaba made me cry!

[arq.jesusreyes]

She is one of the best singers that have presented, I love her!

[NeoGenMike]

I love this one. It captures the spirit of the original while being completely different. It's weird. I know it's a cover in my heart, but I'm hearing a totally different song!
