New Kids on the Block Joey McIntyre, left, Jonathan Knight, center, and Jordan Knight appear at the Christmas tree lighting ceremony on the Common yesterday.
“It’s so good to be home,” Joey McIntyre told the cheering crowd at the Boston Common tree lighting ceremony last night. The New Kid dedicated his solo hit “Stay The Same” to his hometown and also sang “O Holy Night” before bandmate Jordan Knight joined him onstage for “Little Drummer Boy” and “Peace on Earth.”
“Boston’s been so good to the New Kids, and it was really special to be able to perform with Jordan,” McIntyre said. “The tradition (of the tree lighting) is so great, and it’s really wonderful to be able to do it on the Common with all that history.” McIntyre gave a private concert of songs from his new album, “Home for Christmas,” at the Woodward at the Ames after the tree lighting.
Besides McIntyre and Knight, the crowd heard Cape Cod native and “American Idol” alum Siobahn Magnus perform “Greensleeves” and “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus.” Star of the show: the 45-foot tree, a gift from Nova Scotia, illuminated with 3,000 lights.
