NKOTB On The Today Show: Didn't They (Blow Your Mind)?
Don't even pretend that The New Kids On The Block's Today Show appearance wasn't the biggest entertainment news of the morning. My generation's most-loved Non Threatening Males took over the plaza and performed hits like "Step By Step" and "The Right Stuff" for an ecstatic raincoat-clad crowd. (What, no "Dirty Dawg"? I guess they'll save that for their summer tour.) I tried to retain an ironic distance while watching this, but aside from some gentle chuckling at the idea of these old guys dancing, I failed. It was like when I tried to pretend I hated them for most of fifth grade until finally pledging my allegiance to Jordan Knight, who I still maintain was (WAS) the only cute one.
I wonder if Jonathan Knight's real-estate buddies are going to make fun of him for this.

They sound terrible.

I'm SO glad I'm not the only who hasn't forgotten all those sweet NKOTB classic dance moves.

Ok, for all the NKOTB haters out there....it has been 15 years and if they can sell the tickets and entertain their fans then why hate? They may have sounded a bit rusty but let's remember that they performed LIVE in the crappy NYC weather which is more than most artists these days can say. All my girlfriends and I are already planning to see them when they arrive in Auburn Hills, MI in October and we are going to have a blast! Aside from the midlife crisis! Love the new song Summertime btw.

Every birthday, my older sister would blast that freakin' "Happy Birthday" NKOTB song at dawn. If I hear them sing that song, I'm going to bust out the Running Man on Danny Wood's face.
