NEW KIDS NEWS

SOUNDS FAMILIAR By Baby A. Gil (The Philippine Star) Updated August 01, 2011 12:00 AM Comments (0) View comments Who would have thought that this would happen? The greatest boy band of the ’80s and the greatest boy band of the ’90s together have released an album and are touring together. Even non-fans will not be able to resist the thrill of hearing the old songs again coming one after the other in an album featuring the combined forces of the New Kids On The Block and the Backstreet Boys (NKOTBSB). Remember the New Kids On The Block? They were Jonathan Knight, Jordan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg and Danny Wood. For a while it also included Donnie’s brother, Mark Wahlberg, who later on became Marky Mark, rapper and Calvin Klein underwear model and then became Mark Wahlberg again, box-office star and Academy Award nominated actor. The Kids all went their own way after they disbanded in 1994. Jonathan came out of the closet and went into the real estate business. His brother J...

Take That sold out eight concerts at Wembley Stadium June 30-July 9, with a gross of £38,094,558, according to Billboard Boxscore. The U.S. dollar equivalent of that is $61.7 million, far and away the highest g...

There was only one name on her lips: Joey McIntyre, the New Kids on the Block heartthrob. Smith is a fan of mega proportions. New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys performed at Hersheypark Stadium on Saturday evening. Fans filled the stadium, coming from as far as London, Ontario, to relive childhood memories or, as in Emmalyn’s case, to make new ones.

After Saturday's Hersheypark Stadium concert, it became clear that they are neither kids nor boys any more. Enlarge Daniel Zampogna NKOTBSB live onstage at Hersheypark Stadium Saturday night. Daniel Zampogna, THE PATRIOT NEWS   As soon as the bands took to the stage for a mash up of the Backstreet Boys song, "The One," the New Kids on the Block number, "Single," and the instrumentals of Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" fans realized that this was no teeny bopper performance. The bands both have grown with their audience and provided a more adult show. The Chippendales would be proud, as the bands titillated the crowd w...

Two generations of female fans screamed like the teenagers they once were at the smooth boy band hits of New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys with a little ‘Glee’ to begin the evening. By Lori Hoffman   Posted Jul. 30, 2011 Donny Wahlberg Photo by Lori Hoffman Actors on hiatus from hit TV series might try to land a movie role or perhaps perform in a play, but I’ll bet there has never been a star from a hit series who returned to his roots as a boy band heartthrob complete with ripping off his T-shirt to the screams of a packed throng of bedazzled female fans. That is exactly what Donny Wahlberg, who co-stars with Tom Selleck in the hit CBS cop drama Blueblood s, is doing as one of the members of New Kids on the Block. NKOTB, who reigned on the charts from 1989 to the early-1990s, are joined by the Backstreet Boys, who first hit it big in 1999, in one of the biggest shows of the summer. Op...

Washington, D.C., could learn a thing or two from these guys. When New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys teamed up for a nostalgic double bill Wednesday evening at The Q in Cleveland, it was a historic display of boy-band bipartisanship. Each group favored a different approach to dealing with the impending national heartbreak crisis. Of course, the fact that there even is an impending national heartbreak crisis was news to some of us. New Kids on the Block came out in support of austere measures -- i.e., “Hangin’ Tough.” Backstreet Boys came out in support of transparency -- i.e., “Quit Playing Games (With My Heart).” Yet in the end, both parties agreed to put aside their profound philosophical differences in favor of dancing the night away, to the delight of 12,000 supporters. Slick pop songs and pop-and-lock choreography played exceedingly well to the boy bands’ bases, which were 99.9 percent female and way too excited to be there. Your intrepid correspondent per...

Written by David Lindquist david.lindquist@indystar.com Nick Carter performed Tuesday with other members of the band during a combined concert with New Kids on the Block. / DOUG McSCHOOLER / For The Star The oldest trick in a heartthrob's book -- pull a girl out of the audience for a one-on-one serenade -- crystallized the appeal of Tuesday night's New Kids on the Block/Backstreet Boys concert at Conseco Fieldhouse. A 20-something fan named Paige served as proxy for nearly everyone in the estimated audience of 13,000 when Backstreet's Nick Carter applied his Casanova moves during a rendition of "I'll Never Break Your Heart." He locked eyes at close range, writhed on the floor and repeatedly teased Paige with a single rose before surrendering the prize. She more or less hyperventilated. Carter and fellow vocalists on the dual tour billed as "NKOTBSB" brought dimensions of g...

8/13 Jul 27, 2011 By: Jonathan Knight The title basically says it all ,8 shows, and 13 days left on the NKOTBSB tour! Some people get upset when I talk of the tour coming to an end. Frankly, I am not a machine and it is past time to get home to my own familiar surroundings, my family, friends, and a normal sleeping pattern! It will be hard to say goodbye once again to an amazing group of people! We had the most dedicated crew this tour, setting up and tearing down our stage every day! They always seemed to have a smile on their faces daily, even after only getting a few hours sleep, and not that many days off! I admire these men and woman! They are my kind of people. Hardworking everyday down to earth people! So much emphasis is placed on us the performers, truth of the matter, there would not be a show night after night without our amazing group of crew members and our bus and truck drivers who haul us and our stuff across ...

#Videos Posted by Emily Exton on 07/26/2011  More bait for restless cougars, whose desire for ’90s dreamboats can never truly be satisfied, this time in the form of an all-white everything Jordan Knight. The NKOTB/NKOTBSB heartthrob released a new video for all those fans who have been waiting patiently since he brought turtlenecks back in “Give It To You.” “Stingy,” features fellow NKTOBSB member Donnie Wahlberg , who is braving the threat of an aggressive fan reaction by appearing in this video. No one knows where this may lead—just look at those YouTube comments . Things stay tame, as the two open up about their lady problems in the comfort of an apartment hallway. Are we supposed to notice that Knight is in white while Wahlberg wears black? Symbolism! Looks like boy band member stereotypes still hold true today. Forget that it has one of the worst titles since “ Smack My Bitch Up ,” we’d rather focus on Wahlberg’s tortured chorus, filled with spoken word w...

BY Chloe Melas New Kids On The Block and Back Street Boys got an evening of a lifetime when Boyz II Men took the stage and performed hits like ‘Motown Philly! You must be totally jealous right now, because we are! Boyz II Men shocked thousands of diehard fans at the NKOTBSB concert on July 22 at the Amway Center in Orlando, Fl. The group who reached mega-fame in the early 90s took the stage with New Kids On The Block and Backstreet Boys at their concert and the audience went nuts! All the boy bands sang Boys II Men hits like “Motown Philly,” “I’ll Make Love To You,” and “End of the Road.” The only thing that would have made that night more epic would be if *NSYNC had taken the stage!  Source: http://www.hollywoodlife.com/2011/07/25/boyz-ii-men-surprise-concert-nkotbsb-orlando-video/

by: Nadine Cheung William Thomas Cain / George Pimentel, Getty Images As if the forces of New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys weren’t mind-boggling enough, Boyz II Men recently made grown women (and men) weep when they appeared at a recent NKOTBSB show to perform ‘End of the Road’ with the super group. Diehard boy-band fans shrieked like prepubescent teens when Nathan Morris, Shawn Stockman and Wanya Morris hit the stage in Orlando, Fla. on July 22, and who could blame them? The epic collaboration was bursting with multi-layered harmonies, a veritable smorgasbord of sound for ’90s music lovers. The audience was also graced with Boys II Men hits such as ‘Motown Philly’ and ‘I’ll Make Love To You.’ Unfortunately, ‘N Sync was nowhere to be found. Boyz II Men are set to release their new album, ‘ Twenty ,’ this fall. The 2-disc set will contain 10 new songs, as well as 10 newly recorded and updated versions of ‘End of the Road,’ ‘I’ll Make Love to ...
