We have all heard about the horror stories about taking the NYC subway, but sometimes riding one can lead to a much-needed surprise of joy.
That is what happened to Joel Wertheimer. On Sunday, he posted the above video and said, “Had a really tough week and tonight I was the subway and some guy walks between train cars, shirtless, bumping a speaker. I wasn’t in the mood for Showtime particularly. But sometimes people and life surprise you and a little magic happens.”
As you can see, the whole subway car full of people from all different backgrounds and ages, united as one to sing the Backstreet Boys’ I Want It That Way. No matter how bad their weeks were, for that moment they were all happy. What more can you ask for?
Who knew that BSB were the great uniters? Maybe they should play that song in Congress. Maybe not because they might be worse singers than that one singer on this video. Since this is not The Voice, we will not judge them.
How do the Boys feel about this? They said, “We live for moments like this 🙌🖤” Let’s hope they get more moments like this. As Kelly Clarkson said, “Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.” We should not have to wait a lifetime for unison singing in public with a bunch of strangers. I want it that way!
Hey Joel, I hope you are having a better week because you made mine.
