Greetings! :
 The Gentlemen of Boys II Men were the personification of chivalry as they served as hosts and security for the Winner of America's Next Top Model, Saleisha Stowers. >>>>
Saleisha Stowers, who referred to the Phenoms as 'the most charming young men' she has ever met, was the Keynote Speaker at East Aurora's 4th annual Achievers' Awards held on Thursday, February 25, 2010. Boys II Men co-sponsored the event that attracted over 1,000 people to East Aurora High School.
The Scholars and Phenoms of B2M complemented the supermodel's star power with seven sensational young stars of our own! B2M's 'Stars of the Stage' honored the students who received awards with performances that recieved cheers, tears, and standing ovations!
Take a look at OUR Star Power ....... |

DOMINIQUE ROBINSON
 The only hip-hop artist to hit the stage that night gave an original tribute to the King of Pop!
B2M's own, Dominique Robinson, better known as 'Young Nique', brought his own fan club and his own original track, 'Rock With You', that blended many titles of Michael Jackson's songs into a well-crafted rap tribute!
Complete with a glitter glove, this young Phenom from West Aurora High School wowed us all! |

BRIAN KEYS
 All of the Motown stars must have been smiling as he performed... because we all were!
Scholar Brian Keys, graduate of Oswego High School and student at Roosevelt University, brought music and meaning to the awards show.
His rendition of Marvin Gaye's 'What's Going On?' connected the generations and gave a greater purpose to our party. A seasoned performer, Brian Keys is a star on the rise with a message of hope and healing for the children. |

...and JOSHUA WELTON
 The last Phenom to take to the stage left the audience members both screaming and speechless at the same time!
He's amazing. He's inspiring. He's East Aurora's own - Joshua!
From the halls of EA to his own television show on BET to a hot-selling CD, Joshua Welton has experienced more at 20 years old than most will experience in a lifetime.
He returned to the EA stage and to his B2M brotherhood with an unforgettable performance that only Joshua could have done! Yes, this kid is a phenomenon!
Joshua (far right) and other Phenoms in B2M celebrate last summer with Lynnette, Diamonds Co-President and Aurora Puerto Rican Queen. |
