preview of interview with Jordan Knight

from Sean's Space:

I just got off the phone with Jordan Knight…
And … just as I promised, I posed not one but several questions that his fans e-mailed me for consideration during the interview. Jordan gave really thoughtful answers and it was great to talk to him about his career both with the New Kids and his solo projects, which has spanned a quarter-century. Remember: The New Kids’ self-titled debut CD, seen here, came out in 1986! (In fact, that’s JK in the pink sweater, hanging from the street light … kinda makes us all feel old, right?!) He also gave a few clues as to what we fans can expect during this summer’s NKOTBSB mega-tour.

…and in my almost 15 years as a reporter, I’ve never had a more fulfilling interview, being able to talk one-on-one to one of my favorite celebrities of all-time about his work.Jordan took almost 20 minutes out of busy schedule putting the finishing touches on his forthcoming “Unfinished” solo CD — “Today, it will be finished!” he proclaimed — and rehearsals for the upcoming NKOTBSB tour to chat about everything from his local KFest appearance in June, to the possibility of a future solo tour and a new New Kids On The Block CD, among other topics.
“I’ll do some new stuff, some old stuff and some New Kids stuff,” Jordan told me, when I asked about what his set at the June 5 KFest might look like. “I think I will mix in one or two New Kids songs, for sure. I never not do New Kids stuff. I think that’s what people expect.”
My full story about Jordan coming to town will run in the June 3 edition of the Poughkeepsie Journal and online on our website. Until then, keep coming back to “Sean’s Space” early next week, as I’ll post more excerpts from my interview, including Jordan’s answers to some of your questions!

Step by step: The childhood home of the Knight brothers

It's not listed in any tourist guide, but NKOTB fans flock to the house where the Knight brothers grew up By Johnny Diaz Globe Staff / November 15, 2008 When Kari Lusso and her trio of girlfriends flew from Seattle to Boston for the New Kids on the Block concert, they had to make a quick detour. On a rainy Saturday night, the friends drove their rental car to 10 Melville Ave. As they stood in front of the Victorian house, they shrieked and giggled like little girls. The commotion? They were at the former home of the band's brothers Jonathan and Jordan Knight. When they rang the bell, they got a quick tour. "It was going from 31 to 13," Lusso said. "We took pictures of their stove. We took pictures of their floor. We took pictures of the banister, the living room, and their bedrooms. What a dream come true to see such an...

NKOTB's Joey McIntyre Gives Update on BSB A.J. McLean in Rehab

New Kids on the Block singer Joey McIntyre has been in the music business for over 24 years and has seen some friends battle with addiction in the limelight, including Backstreet Boy A.J. McLean who recently made the decision to enter rehab. "A.J. is a sweet kid, good kid and extremely talented, so we're all there for him," said Joey. AJ admitted himself earlier this month before heading on the huge NKOTB/BSB tour. Young star Aaron Carter is reportedly seeking professional help as well to deal with some unknown "emotional and spiritual issues," and Joey commended Aaron for making that step. "To me it's usually a good thing when someone can take some time and retreat from it all and, you know, just get a little bit more centered," Joey said, encouragingly. Justin Bieber has managed to stay clean in his career thus far and Joey gave some advice to the star for staying on the right track. "Hopefully, kids like Justin… there...
