Look Who's Reuniting!

I've been waiting 19 years for this moment! The New Kids on the Block are reuniting this summer. SWEET! I'm going to try and get a couple songs on my playlist in honor of the occasion. They're going to have a new album released in May along with their first concert on the Today Show. Does anyone else remember the Hangin' Tough days like I do? I wish I had my NKOTB t-shirt to show my support.
In the good old days, my favorite was Jonathan Knight (tall one on the left for those who weren't as big a fan as I). He was shy and humble, but had the voice of an angel. I saw the group on the Today Show this morning and I think Donny Wahlberg or Joey McIntyre might have to be my New Kids of choice this go around. Joey was fun to watch on Dancing with the Stars Season 1. Okay everybody....pull out your old cassettes and prepare yourself for a summer of New Kids! (Try to forget that they are all like 40 something now.....oh well. NKOTB forever, baby!)

Wahhooo! I'm gonna have to pull out my New Kids on the Block--NKOTB as I like to call them--pajamas. Donny was always my main man, but I'll have to see what they look and sound like now that their voices have changed and they're old enough to grow facial hair.

I know...it's for real. I heard about it this morning on the radio. Crazy, crazy. And I'm not sure if Jason remembers this, but my friends and I, along with our moms, went to their concert. I was a such a NKOTB junkie-huge fan! And to reunitie-I think it's so exciting! They look so good, even at 40-they could be huge again.

Oh my freakin' gosh. I loved NKOTB, too bad I don't have my posters and backpack of them anymore. Holy cow I loved them, way to go Maggie bringing back all the childhood memories!!!!!

Funny you posted this. When ever I think of NKOTB I think of you. Probably because you would record the concerts and then we would watch them over and over...or maybe once, I don't remember exactly. I loved it. Thank goodness you guys had the disney channel:)

Donny was always my fave! I'll bet $20 you still remember all the choreography! The first and best of the BOY BANDS!

I read about this in a magazine, and was travelling so I couldn't watch the Today Show. They were actually my first concert I ever went to. I remember my favorite shirt was my NKOTB Hypercolor shirt. Awesome! I am right there with ya. Jordan was the cutest one back then, and my favorite too.

Counting down the days.... Mark Wahlberg was always my favorite!

I was too young to care very much about NKOTB. However, I remember my older cousins being madly in love with them! I went through the NSYNC boyband years...

No way. I can't wait to see this!

This is hilarious Mag! This New Kids was my very first concert ever! I was so excited, and my sister was so mad at me and my mom for letting me go cause I was so young and she would have never been able to do that at my age! Oh the good times! I loved these guys!

Yes!! I knew it! When I was 11 years old I bet my dad $20 that someday the New Kids would be more famous than the Beetles. I haven't paid up yet in hopes that they would get back together! Watch out Dad!
