Back on the Block - Jordan Interview

It didn't take long for Jordan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, Donny Wood and Jon Knight to feel back home in front of screaming New Kids on the Block fans.

"Our first show back was money," the Jordan portion of the Knight brothers says during a recent phone interview in Greenville, S.C., where NKOTB will go onstage later that night.

That's because they took this reunion seriously from the start.

Their last CD before 2008's "Block" was the 1994 release "Face the Music." In the interim, McIntyre and Jordan Knight released solo material, and Wahlberg expanded his acting horizons.

The studio work went well, Knight says, with the five singers embracing current pop and hip-hop stars Ne-Yo, Lady Gaga, Akon, Teddy Riley and Pussycat Dolls for vocal contributions.

He says they added to the NKOTB's pop vibe without changing it.

"We would have done the same sound without the actual artists being featured on our record," Knight says. "(But) I think it does lend some credibility in young people's minds. 'They're mixing it up with the best that today has to offer.' It adds more in people's heads that we're on top of our game."

After the studio work, they began putting in time rehearsing for the live show. "A couple of months," Knight says. "We had time to come up with the show, find our rhythm, come up with who will take lead where in the songs."

He says audiences appear pleased to be reacquainted with the men and their hits, which included three that made it to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart "I'll Be Loving You Forever" and "Hanging Tough" from 1989 and "Step By Step" from 1990.

"I think our group is successful for a reason, and it's because we have a natural rhythm with each other," Knight says. "We all have different roles that weren't preconceived or made up. It's a natural flow to what our group is. We all fell back to our old roles. What made it work for us then works now, too."

Then, New Kids on the Block filled the Carrier Dome for a show in November 1990.

Knight apologetically reports that he doesn't recall that night specifically.

But he does remember that he'd rather perform in a 6,500-seat arena such as the Onondaga County War Memorial on Thursday night than in a huge stadium, sold-out or not.

"I wasn't really fond of playing huge places like that," he says. "You felt a disconnect with the crowd, and the sound was horrible, and I don't think people got what they paid for, and I don't think we were getting what we should have for putting out everything up onstage for two hours. I would rather be in an arena or theater than a stadium."

The theaters have been filled by fans who were there 20 years ago, and a new generation, Knight says.

"I am surprised that the younger generation has kind of latched on, and they think we're cool, like their mothers and aunts did," Knight says. "Then I think: 'When I was young, I loved the older groups.' It's not far-fetched, as long as a group keeps its sound fresh or young. A couple of days ago, I was playing 'Four Minutes to Save the World,' Justin (Timberlake) and Madonna and Timbaland. To me, it doesn't matter how old Madonna is."

And in the arena, they will have no shame about being five guys approaching 40 who call themselves New Kids on the Block.

"None whatsoever," Knight says. "We got asked that same question when we were all turning 20 years old. 'What are you going to call yourself now that you can buy a drink at the bar?' It's a sound. New Kids on the Block. It's who we are. The Beach Boys never changed their name."

Kids plan to cruise into London's JLC

MAR. 29: The cruise concept has proved so hot that the New Kids on the Block plan to dock in downtown London this spring.

The five members of the 1990s U.S. pop group have reunited to tour and will play the John Labatt Centre on March 29 at 7 p.m.

The recently announced NKOTB Cruise -- with the singers on a boat on sunny seas -- sparked fan frenzy, tour officials say.

"We're gonna perform on a ship, on a cruise. John Mayer has done these things before. Our manager tells us this is not a cheesy thing. It's not a step back," says New Kids on the Block singer Joey McIntyre of the Caribbean cruise ship gig.

There are also more dates for shows on land.

Earlier tour stops included a set list with New Kids classics such as, Hangin Tough, Step by Step and Right Stuff. There were also tunes Single and Summertime, both from The Block, a new recording.

New Kids on the Block regroups for another go-around

Make no mistake: The New Kids on the Block are still hangin' tough.

Their limbs, on the other hand, are taking things step by step.

"Oh, God, the body aches!" said New Kid Jonathan Knight, describing the main difference he's feeling on the band's current tour, versus the seminal boy band's late '80s-early '90s heyday.

The group is on a reunion tour, its first outing since 1994.

In the years since its breakup, various offers have been made to reunite Knight, his brother, Jordan, Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood and Joey McIntyre, multiplatinum-selling teen sensations whose likenesses graced everything from dolls to oversize buttons to pillowcases.

Opening for New Kids on the Block in Hershey is JabbaWockeeZ, a hip-hop dance troupe that's been gaining fame for its intricate, precise movements. Taking its name from the famous Lewis Carroll poem, "Jabberwocky," the group was conceived in 2003 by a group of friends in the California dance community.

Nashville Review

It’s been 15 years since New Kids On The Block split up and 17 years since they last played Nashville. But you'd never know it, judging by the massive crowd that packed Sommet Center for their concert Monday night.

The fans were mostly female and just a teeny bit older, but they acted like they were preteens again when NKOTB took the stage.


“The fans are just as wild,” says Jordan Knight. “I think we made an impression on our fans when they were really young, and when we do a show those feelings come out, even when you’re older. Its like hearing a song. We all do it. I know I do it when I hear old songs -- it brings me right back to that moment and I get the same feelings. Like I said, our show is like an escape from reality. It's an escape from the mundane, day-to-day life that we all live, so you come and you have a free pass to go wild, or dance or cry or laugh and sing. It’s a great time.”

Indeed, it was as if no time had passed at all. The guys, who are still gorgeous, performed for nearly three hours, dancing and singing the whole way through without ever seeming out of breath.

Looking across the sea of screaming fans rocking side ponytails and crimped hair and decked out in neon T-shirts emblazoned with the boy’s faces, I couldn’t help but feel like I was 12 years old again at Starwood Amphitheatre. The whole scene made me weak in the knees and I found myself squealing with glee from start to finish.

David Kells, Sommet Center marketing director, summed it up best when he said, “You know, there’s going to be a lot of moms who won’t be able to scream at their kids tomorrow.”

9 Days and Counting.....

Being in Toronto I thought I was pretty lucky, to have those five bad brothers from the beantown land kick off their tour in MY hometown!! I went to all three of the Toronto shows, it was Incredible! It was a FANTASTIC Idea to start in T.O at the time, but when they left..the jealousy in me kicked in while watching all those other cities enjoying those grown men!

Well...My wait is FINALLY OVER! In just 9 days I'll be able to see those 5 men that get me all twisted for the 4th time!! My sister and I are making the trek to London, ON by ourselves....AHHHHH. We usually get her boyfriend to drop us off at the concert, then my husband picks us up after...we don't like driving downtown LOL. This time its just us girlies driving ourselves!

Hope we don't get lost :-S

WATCH OUT LONDON.....HERE WE COME!!!

Reliving my childhood

So a lot of my friends think I'm crazy for the way I feel about New Kids on the block. I've been to three concerts and I'm now going to a 4th one on the 29th of March!

I know I'm not alone, because I've met a lot of great new friends from their reunion. Why don't my friends just get it? Why do I feel like a crazy outsider when I talk about them? I'm tired of the rolling of eyes when I tell them I'm going to another concert.
My husband didn't get it at the beginning, but now he's a FULL supporter of my habit lol.

These are supposed to be my good friends, why can't they just support what I do and like?
Does anyone else feel this way when they talk to friends and family about the boys?
