Concert Review: New Kids on the Block
So, I need to get a little off topic here for a minute because I went to go see the New Kids on the Block last week in Toronto and I really want to talk about it… so we are going to embrace a different musical genre for a moment.
OK, the show was AMAZING! I was so shocked! Well, I knew it was gonna be a blast to hear all the old songs and see them live, but I had no idea how good they would actually be.
First of all, let’s just get this out of the way right now. They looked HOT! I mean really gorgeous. I was surprised by how good they all looked in person. I personally am a Donnie Wahlberg fan but Jordan Knight is the best looking person I’ve ever seen in my life. Scary and sad, but true. (Don’t even get me started about Jordan getting up there with no shirt on… seriously… OK fine click the link at the end of the post to see nakie, shirtless, unbelievable Jordan…I can’t smut up my blog)
Moving on, they sounded so good. All the vocals were really awesome, especially from Jordan and Joey. It’s amazing how well they sang the old songs; I was impressed. And their new music is really, really good. For the most part not what you would expect from the New Kids on the Block but I really love the new CD. I will say that most of their songs are very sexual so they aren’t really kid friendly. They’ve come a very long way from “Hangin’ Tough” and “Step by Step” but they have some pretty awesome club-type dance songs on there.
They put on a really fantastic show. The dancing was really good and so much fun (Joey McIntyre even did a little solo interlude as an ode to his time on Dancing with the Stars). Danny Wood got up there and did a break dance that would have been impressive from anyone but he’s almost 40 for God’s sake!
And the most impressive thing of all were the fans. From the time the lights went out until the time they came back on, every single person in that entire arena was on their feet. I’ve never seen anything like it. Everyone was singing along and dancing and SCREAMING. Good Lord, it was by far the loudest concert I’ve ever been to. My ears were ringing for days… but it was worth it.
The moral of the story is: the show was an absolute blast! They looked and sounded awesome and I can guarantee you that no New Kids fan left that arena disappointing.
They are even better the second time around!
Their CD, The Block, debuted at #2 on the Top 200 which is extremely impressive; especially after 15 years!
(By the way, back to Daughtry for a second, the re-release of their album caused them to be the greatest gainer for the week and brought them back up to #36… also pretty impressive after 95 weeks on the chart)

Um… are you fricken kidding me right now? This man is unbelievable. Who looks like that when they’re 38 years old?

In reply to “who looks like that at 38?”.
Anyone who is concerned with their image, especially when it makes them money, would look like that when they are 38 and even older if they wanted to. They have trainers among other aids that help them look like that. More than their music, their image is what makes them money. They better keep that going.

Dude, first of all, that was a rhetorical question.
Second of all, no matter how you slice it, he looks good. That was the general point I was trying to make.
And I wasn’t just talking about his body, he’s just an amazingly handsome guy and if you aren’t good looking, no trainer or face cream is gonna make you look like that.

I agree that question was rhetorical. But anyway they are all so hot. Especially Jordan. I have seen them twice once in NJ and in NY. I had 10th row seats in NY. We were so close I touched Jordan and I think Danny when they ran by after they were on the middle stage. What a show great singing and dancing.

Thanks for the comment Suzanne!
They are were so hot! I totally agree.
I saw them twice in Toronto and I got to touch Donnie when he walked by from Stage B. I wanted to touch Jordan but the bodyguard was blocking me LOL
You are so lucky! 10th row!? That’s awesome.
