The Philippine Star: Hangin' tough after all these years

By Nathalie Tomada Jonathan Knight (second from left), the one interviewed by The STAR, with fellow Kids (from left) Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, Jordan Knight and Danny Wood. MANILA, Philippines -  After two decades, the New Kids On The Block (NKOTB) will be returning to the country to perform with the Backstreet Boys (BSB). The concert combining the forces of the two boy bands, which ruled the pop music scene in the ’80s and the ’90s, is happening on June 3 at the Mall of Asia Arena.   “Last time we were here was probably 20 years ago, so I don’t remember too much. It’s gonna be a whole, brand-new experience being back in the Philippines all over again,” NKOTB member Jonathan Knight tells The STAR in a phone interview. NKOTB scored breakthrough success in the late ’80s through its sophomore album  Hangin’ Tough,  which yielded such No. 1 hits as  I’ll Be Loving You (Forever)  and  Hangin’ Tough.  Other songs of...

Perth Now: Backstreet's back with the old New Kids

SYNCHRONISED dance moves, co-ordinated outfits, all-male harmonies, high-pitched screaming and plenty of pelvic thrusting. Last night at the Burswood Dome, thousands of screaming fans were transported back in time to their early teens, when two of the world’s most successful boy bands brought back the best of the '80s and '90s. With an impressive 45 years of adoration between them, you could be forgiven for thinking the best years were long-behind the New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys – but you'd be wrong. As grown men, the two bands were still able to bust the best of their old school dance moves and well and truly hold their own in stunning vocal solos. The Backstreet Boys delivered a string of fan favourites such as  Get Down ,  Larger Than Life, I’ll Never Break Your Heart, As Long As You Love Me ,  Shape Of My Heart, All I Have To Give,  I Want It That Way  and of course  Everybody (Backstreet’s Back).  The New Kids’ blast from the past...

OLV: Donnie Wahlberg starring in “Home: The Film”, shooting begins in Brooklyn this summer

by Christine on May 22, 2012 Thanks to one of our readers, Sarah, for giving us a head’s up about a new project Donnie Wahlberg will be working on this summer. In this video , which was recently posted on Kickstarter, Writer/Director/Producer Jono Olvier shares some of the locations he’s been scouting in Bushwick, Brooklyn for his new project, Home: The Movie , and he also confirms Donnie Wahlberg will appear in the film. If you’re wondering how Donnie got involved in a low budget movie – that he’ll have to balance between touring and Blue Bloods season 3 filming later this summer – we’re guessing he’s doing Jono a favor. In Jono’s bio on Kickstarter it states he is also currently a writer for Blue Bloods . Stay tuned for more information about Home: The Film or make a donation to help get the film made at Kickstarter.com ! If you have any scoop about the movie, or where it’s filming, let us know at olv@onlocatonvacations.com! SOURCE: http://ww...

Boston Herald: Donnie Wahlberg needs your help for indie film

Photo by Heather Wines DONNIE WAHLBERG By Herald Wire Services Wednesday, May 23, 2012 -  D ONNIE WAHLBERG’s latest project needs your help! The “Blue Bloods” star has signed on to star in “Home: The Film” but the project is just so indie that it’s still not completely financed. To score enough cash to go into production, the filmmakers have turned to fundraising site Kickstarter . So how’d Donnie end up attached? We’re guessing it has something to do with the film’s director being “Blue Bloods” scribe Jono Olvier . SOURCE:  http://bostonherald.com/track/star_tracks/view/20220523star_tracks

The Courier Mail: New Kids On The Block deliver big-sound spectacle to fans young and old (Brisbane Review)

by: Nathanael Cooper Members of the New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys in concert. Picture: Brenton Edwards Source: The Advertiser IT may have been a number of years since New Kids On The Block and the Backstreet Boys have had a hit but they definitely still can whip a crowd into a frenzy. While most of Brisbane was last night glued to the State of Origin, the real clash of the titans was at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre as two powerhouses of pop battled for supremacy. There was no clear winner. The NKOTB element of the acronym may not have had the recent hits behind them but the affection for the band was immense. The BSB part merely had to follow with their string of hits. Love or loathe the boy-band phenomenon, the reality is it works for a lot of people and most of them were there singing ...

Adelaide Now: The Backstreet Boys and New Kids On The Block concert at Adelaide Entertainment Centre (REVIEW)

by Cara Jenkin May 22, 2012   New Kids on the Block / Back Street Boys concert at Adelaide Entertainment Centre Picture: Brenton Edwards BACKSTREET'S back all right, as were thousands of boy band fans who turned back the clock to reminisce about the good ol' days at the Entertainment Centre on Monday night. Two of the biggest pop groups of the 1990s - the Backstreet Boys and New Kids On The Block - may have been older and greyer (albeit in some cases, a lot more buff) but then so were most of us in the audience. It meant the moves were a little slower. But it was made up for with enthusiasm, as the foursome and quintet known for their slick dance moves gave it their all to slide, jump, thrust and strut along the stage. The evening started off a little quiet as the two bands swapped songs on stage but NKOTB ...

The Courier Mail: Boy bands are back in a big way

by: Torny Miller Date/Time: 2012:05:22 13:44:46 Source: The Courier-Mail   BACKSTREET'S back. But is that alright? Boy band originals the New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys will hit the Brisbane Entertainment Centre tonight, but will the much-hyped show satisfy the groups' old fans. Torny Miller has five reasons why boy-band fever will be gripping plenty of Queenslanders despite it being State of Origin night. 1. Matching suits Who doesn't like seeing a group of middle-aged men prancing about in colour-coordinated attire? Nineties grunge definitely didn't catch-on with these guys, so if the clean-cut look is your thing then this is the show for you. Think gleaming white suits, perhaps some military-inspired outfits and, of course, the obligatory shirts-off, abs out routine. 2. Some...

TAKE 40: REVIEW - New Kids On The Block and The Backstreet Boys, Melbourne, May 19 2012

  20 mayo 2012 Last night, I stepped back in time. To a time when girls wore scrunchies, Facebook didn't exist, and boy bands in matching outfits reigned supreme. It was a time before Justin Bieber, before Lady Gaga, and even before One Direction. That's right; I'm talking about the NKOTBSB concert at Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne. A wonderful pairing of two of the biggest boy bands of all time -- New Kids On The Block and The Backstreet Boys. In the eighties and nineties, these guys elicited so many screams and crazy fans that it would make Harry Styles' hair go straight. For those who are too young to remember, here's a bit of history. New Kids On The Block Debuted in 1986 Members: Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood, Joey McIntyre, Jonathan Knight, Jordan Knight Hit the big time in 1988 when their song 'You Got It (The Right Stuff) went number 1 worldwide More hits followed including 'I'll Be Loving You (Forever)', 'Han...

Boston.com: Donnie Wahlberg producing show for TNT that follows Boston Police gang unit

  Donnie Wahlberg, right, on the set of the CBS drama “Blue Bloods” with actors Len Cariou and Tom Selleck. As many police officers as he’s played on TV and in the movies, Donnie Wahlberg knows a thing or two about cops. So maybe it’s no surprise that Wahlberg, who currently stars in the CBS drama “Blue Bloods,” is set to produce a real-life docu-drama for TNT called “Boston Blue.” According to the network, the show, which will air next year, follows the men and women of the Boston Police Department’s gang unit. TNT has ordered eight episodes. “With ‘Boston Blue,’ we’re looking to grab viewers who come to TNT for such blockbuster originals as ‘The Closer’ and ‘Rizzoli & Isles,’” Michael Wright , president and head of programming for TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies, said in a statement. In addition to “Blue Bloods,” Wahlberg has played a police officer in “Rizzoli & Isles,” “Boomtown,” “In Plain Sight,” “The Kill Point,” and the f...

Bostinno: New Cop Docu-Drama Coming to TNT With Donnie Wahlberg as the Executive Producer

  by Lisa DeCanio 3 in Share Soon, the hub will be all you see when you turn on the TV. TNT recently announced a new docu-drama called Boston Blue , a chronicling the work of the Boston Police Department. Dorchester-native Donnie Wahlberg is signed on as the executive producer. According to a press release: Boston Blue  follows the men and women of the Boston Police Department’s exclusive and highly decorated Gang Unit. Their unit’s name doesn’t begin to describe the breadth of crimes these detectives, investigators, patrol officers and special victims officers deal with on a daily basis. They are the go-to unit for many large-scale crimes in Boston. The show has signed to TNT for eight episodes which are scheduled to premiere in 2013. I envision Boston Blue as a Law & Order  meets Cheers and  The Departed with a little bit of Ally McBeal thrown in there for good measure. In other words, it’s going to be filled with the class...

GALA Magazine's interview with Jordan Knight

 Gala.de editor Ines Weissbach at the meeting with Jordan Knight. (Photo: © Gala) ..... In the late 1980s he was the heartthrob par excellence. Since then, not much seems to have changed, or is it? Jordan, 20 years ago were the "New Kids On The Block" the biggest boyband in the world. What has happened since then, in your view? I became a man (laughs). I got married, had two children and now I'm back with my old friends from the "New Kids On The Block". What is more satisfying: the cries of a baby or hear of 20 000 girls, now there are even women? I would say 20 000 women. Although, it depends: Sometimes you rob the cry of a newborn to sleep. (Thinks) If you had a newborn smile said, I would choose that. But this way: I would rather hear the screech of a fan than a baby. "New Kids On The Block" have disbanded in 1994, you have continued as a solo artist, released four solo albums now. Could you have imagined at that time a career wit...

INTERVIEW: Donnie Wahlberg Says New Teen Pop Movement ‘Validates’ What NKOTB Did 25 Years Ago

Before One Direction and The Wanted, before N’Sync, the Backstreet Boys, and 98 Degrees, there was New Kids on the Block. The music between the aforementioned acts spans three decades, and New Kids singer Donnie Wahlberg is happy the genre has exhibited staying power. “In some ways, [One Direction and The Wanted] validate us,” the NKOTB star told me via telephone. “And I think our reunion has validated us in many ways as well. The fans that grew up with us came back.” Wahlberg speaks proudly on not just his group’s return, but also the new generation of fans that have new music to grow up with. “I think there’s a place in society for all different types of music,” he explained. “I’m glad that the young bands are coming out now and doing well because I think it validates what we did 25 years ago.” Generations will collide August 17 and 18 in Hershey, PA, when New Kids on the Block, the Backstreet Boys, The Wanted, Kelly Clarkson, LL Cool J, and more converge on Hersheyp...

In London we met, "Backstreet Boy" Howie Dorough (pictured 2nd from right) and "New Kid" Joey McIntyre (3rd from left) to talk about old times and new diva potential. The Backstreet Boys have started when the New Kids On The Block in 1994 split. Is still the same boy band boy band? Howie Dorough: No, by the example of New Kids On The Block, we already knew what may come of it. We worked harder than their colleagues. Joey: You were professional and somehow perfect. But that was the concept and had nothing to do with...

Irishcentral.com: Newly resurrected boy band New Kids on the Block love Ireland

New Kids on the Block Donnie Wahlberg, boy band veteran from New Kids on the Block and sought after actor – he’s currently appearing in the CBS Friday night drama Blue Bloods with Tom Selleck – recently played shows in Dublin and Belfast with the reformed NKOTB, and he told Irish network RTE that he’s amazed the group didn’t play Ireland during the height of their fame in the 1980s. Wahlberg, hardly a kid anymore at the age of 42, remembers lots of Irish flocking to his native Dorchester in Boston during the time. “(The band) was reminiscing about the old days of New Kids and how we never came to Ireland, and how stunned we were that we never did it, ” Wahlberg said. “It might have been an economic thing. When we were young, right around the time we got together the first couple of years in Boston, I was working in a shoe store and there were a lot of Irish immigrants coming in. It was like a huge influx into Boston specifically. I now the economy was really bad.” N...
