New Kids on the Block Reunion

[Melanie]

When is it they are going to be singing on tv? Is that in a couple weeks?

TODAY Janet (on the Today show)!

[Melanie]

It's pouring!

The medley of old songs is a little odd IMO, coming from almost 40 year olds. I guess they have to please the masses.

[JanetMegan]

Dang it, I hope they put it online, I missed it!

[DisneyCouture]

I am looking forward to them performing again. I was a big fan back in the day. Jordan was my fave.They are coming to CT in late Sept and I want to go, the only thing is the morning after the concert I am leaving on a VERY early flight to WDW.

I kinda like the new "Summertime" song. It's got a good beat. It was weird how they did like only 2 lines of Hangin' Tough.

And now that I'm older, I find myself strangely attracted to Donnie. Although I still heart Jordan. I loved looking into the audience and seeing a bunch of 30-somethings, soaked but still wearing the huge buttons circa 1989. Funny...I still have mine, too.

I'm hoping I can get some free tix to the Chicago contest through my work.

[JanetMegan]

Ok I watched it online, it wasn't great-I was kinda bummed

[NotaGeek]

Who would even go to a NKOTB concert if they didn't do Step by Step? I hit record before I left the house, so I can't wait to see how it looks.

I won't be going to the concerts, I doubt the Kids will make it to Spokane.

Well, I enjoyed watching them on the Today show! I taped it too. I really am glad they sang, "Tonight" that was a favorite of mine, but I enjoyed just seeing them all sing together again! It brought back a lot of great memories too!

[SBETigg]

I thought I was a little old for NKOTB, but it turns out they're all my age! My kid sister loved them and I had to play all kinds of NKOTB songs at my 1990 wedding to appease her. She's trying to get tickets for their Mohegan Sun show tomorrow.

I did watch them on the Today Show and I was actually pretty impressed. It could have been a big joke, but they actually did well and didn't look too silly doing the dances. Plus, they had the humor to laugh at themselves and they seemed really grateful for the fans. I thought it was sweet. My radio station is making merciless fun of them, though.

True, true, but it was a little strange.

I really am glad they sang, "Tonight" that was a favorite of mine, but I enjoyed just seeing them all sing together again!

I had forgotten about Tonight, and am a bit embarrassed to say that the lyrics all came back to me as I was watching. I really liked that song as well.

OK, I just finished watching them on Today ... I loved it ... and you know, it's a bad thing about Today, sometimes their sounds is just horrible. I think their singing wasn't bad ... you could definitely tell they were nervous though!

I would totally go see them if they were around!

[Melanie]

And now that I'm older, I find myself strangely attracted to Donnie.

I was always a Jonathan fan, but I'm with you on the Donnie thing. I loved him in Band of Brothers and on the shortlived Boomtown.

Melanears + NotaGeek =

HEY! But you're older!

I just think it's great that a NKOTB thread on INTERCOT is up to 3 pages.

[pixiesmimi]

Was it just me or did Jonathan seem like he was ill at ease with the dancing and kept watching the others? I'm wondering how they even got him out there with his stage fright issues not long ago.

My daughter was the NKOTB fan and we still have her posters, dolls and black and pink hat like some at the Today Show were wearing. Who would have thought they would come back. Hope their new song is good, I haven't heard it, and that they do good at the concerts. If the fan base at the concerts is anything like the one on the Today Show, they should do great!

[brewcrew26]

Maybe we could petition for a private Intercot NKOTB concert?

[PirateLover]

I just think it's great that a NKOTB thread on INTERCOT is up to 3 pages.

I think it's so funny that I started it, as I was only about 9 when they broke up. I am glad that they added dates. No way was I going to have the money to pay the Borgata price... tickets for a november show in Philly will go on sale in a month.

PS I also think Donnie is looking quite nice these days.

[tinkerbell04]

I bought my tickets this morning for the concert in DC on October 9th. I saw them quite a few times as a teenager and I am sure that I will be reliving my youth that night!

has anyone seen the video for summertime yet??
the video was pretty good..and i have to say i really like the summertime song!!
i never got to see them when i was younger..and i dunno if i would have anyone to go with to go see them now!! lol...
but i think its great that they finally got back together!!
now i just have to wait for nsync to get back together!!! they were my boy band!!!!!!!!!!!

[Disneyatic]

Tickets for their show in Dallas went on sale yesterday and I forgot! (that shows how old and uncool I am getting!) But I got on the ticketmaster website today and there are still available tix, so I think I am going to buy a few!

now i just have to wait for nsync to get back together!!! they were my boy band!!!!!!!!!!!

I am with you on this! I would pay big bucks to see their reunion show! But with Justin's gigantic ego, I don't think it will ever happen
In their heyday, my friends and I were so obsessed with them! We saw them in 4 different states, met them and became very good at stalking.....errr, I mean being fans!

I haven't seen the video yet, but I do like the song a lot. DH thought I was nuts for downloading it off itunes.

There's still tickets available for the Milwaukee show, so I may get them with my next paycheck (I just went to see comedian Jeff Dunham so I'm not sure how DH will take that).

I think if you give Nsync 20 years or so when they all have kids like NKOTB. They'll need to pay the bills, too, so keep waiting, give Justin time. Although, I think for some reason that JC would be more difficult for some reason (don't know why).

I also saw them in two states, but I wasn't good at stalking. I only did that to baseball players.
