It may have taken almost 20 years, but I finally went to go see my all-time favorite boy band last night - New Kids on the Block! And I can honestly say it was well worth the wait. The show was completely sold out and I think I could count on one hand the number of guys that were in that arena. There must have been close to 10,000 30-year old women in there. I even saw a few teenagers as well as a few much older women. I went with my BFF Chel and our other good friend Tracy and we had a blast. I never knew 30-year old women could scream like a bunch of 12 year old teeney-boppers until last night.
The performance itself was great, but I was a little disappointed that they played so many songs from their new album. I know they are trying hard to promote their new stuff, but I really wanted to hear more of their old songs. And of the older stuff that they did play, they never really finished an entire song. Somehow they managed to incorporate "We will rock you" in the middle of "Hangin' Tough." That was a bit strange. At the end they did a great job with "Please don't go girl" (Jordan can still hit those high notes with ease...sigh) but again, they sang the chorus twice and that was about it. They concluded their encore with "Step by step" which was awesome though! Overall the show was great. They do some awesome stage stuff with fireworks and steam and platforms that move up and down. They can all still dance and they're all still hot. Even Donnie although I wish he would have taken off the baseball hat that he wore all night. We know he's losing his hair... so why bother hiding it? As for the others, Chel and Tracy were fighting over who liked Jordan more, Danny's got great arms and broke out into some cool break dancing on the stage at one point, Donnie had to lose the hat, Jonathan didn't really do much (you could tell he was still battling his anxiety about being in front of a crowd), and Joey will always be my favorite!

omg. i can't believe you went.
wait. yes i can.
did you read the register's blog about it? funny stuff.
since when is jonathan (of NKOTB) such a hottie?!
Oh yeah - he's really hot, but I'm thinking he might be gay. No girlfriend...never been married...hmmm..
he is by far the best dressed. and the hottest.
so. yeah. likely gay.
so were you two among the women wearing the push bras?
Hang on (not tough)...
I used to quite like them!
Didn't they do "Cover Girl"?
And I am not gay!
Yes they did and I love that song! I am also really starting to like their new stuff. I already downloaded a bunch of their new stuff onto my ipod!
Oh, man, nice. I don't remember listening to them much but I did have a New Kids on the Block board game (present). I so love all things old/nostalgic, though.
