Ok, so I am totally ok with admitting that I was a SUPER New Kids On The Block gooooober! Ask any of my friends from that time and they will 100% agree. I couldn't help it, cute boys singing and dancing...I was in! I won't admit however, what we used to do growing up in Los Angeles when we would find out that New Kids were in town because it's beyond embarrassing but let's just say I am glad we never got arrested for "stalking". lol Oh and Donnie was my favorite. Big buttons, shoe laces, I had it all and all and yes, because of said stalking I did eventually get to meet him AND take a picture! :o)

Fast forward to many years later...the NKOTBSB tour comes to Atlanta. Now, I do love me some Backstreet Boys too but I think the difference is I was pretty much a grown up when BSB came around so their musical affect was definitely different now that I was a grown up. But none the less I definitely was excited to see both BSB annnnnd NKOTB at Philips Arena the other night.

We loaded up a bunch of fun girls including Heather Branch who apparently has the same love for NKOTBSB as me and we made a total girls night out of the show! I gotta tell you, they were AH-mazing! They each took turns singing and they sounded just like they did years ago...AWESOME! They were all definitely on their A-game. Singing, dancing, girating (lol), interacting with the audience from on and off the stage. Brian from BSB has been on our show a few times and has always been so genuine and sweet and really, he is just a really great singer! He is good people!

Personal silly childhood girlie highlight of the night: At one point in the show, Donnie Wahlberg (my fave!) strutted down the cat walk stage and ripped off his tank top and we all went wild. hee hee And while it was a tad bit Chippendales, he looked pretty darn great at 41 (42 in August) years old and I say more power to him! (Thanks to FB friend Christina Carlisle for letting me steal her Donnie pic-see to your right) Oh and I only know how old is he because after the show I decided to google all of their ages to make me feel better about how old I am so here ya go just in case you were wondering too:

NKOTB
Jonathan 42
Danny 42
Donnie 41
Jordan 41
Joey 38

BSB
Kevin 39
Howie 37
Brian 36
AJ 33
Nick 31

Really, I can honestly say it was one of the most fun shows ever! It was like reliving my youth. I only hope next time around I will be able to meet my little Donnie Wahlberg as a grown up! A girl can dream...

Hey, did you guys go to the show? Who was your fave? Comment here and give me the scoop!

Ok back to reality...have a great weekend!!!

Cindy Wahlberg :o)

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...
