NKOTB Coming HERE?!?
Well, whoop-de-doooo!
So the New Kids On The Block (the originals, at that!) are comin’ to the Time Warner Cable Arena on October 30, huh?? Are these … are these the same NKOTB that caused young’uns (read: girls) to go nuts back in the ’90s?
That’s cool. But … but how are they on doin’ the same today? I mean, they’re a bit older, and so are their fans from back then.
Now, don’t get me wrong; the harmonies and dance steps were dynamite. And, natch, they do have some pretty decent looks among ‘em! But, with the age of The Fore, Modest Mouse, The Fratellis and OK GO! on the male side and Leona Lewis, Avril Lavigne and Carrie Underwood on the female side, are they really gonna fit in?
I’ve heard and seen rushes of them, and they are still spectacular! And they certainly have a great rapport with audiences. If ya go (and you’d better get your tickets early, ’cause this is gonna be a sell-out!), it’s gonna be a show you’ll remember for a lonnnnnng time!
It’ll be interesting, though, to see how this “boy-band” thing works here in the ‘08 — especially with the dude who groomed them for stardom gettin’ busted awhile back. If they do make it as big as back then, and stay on top, it’ll haveta be due to their teamwork … and better management!
Let’s hope they do … I kinda like these guys! They deserve to be back on the charts!
Remember … the tix go on sale at 10 AM Friday at Live Nation.com.
