Why God, oh why do we need this? It's no talent boy bands like this that are responsible for driving real music and creativity into the underground. Why must music be accompanied by a big choreographed dance routine? This is wrong on so many levels. Ignore it and make it go away once and for all people.

26

I will SOOOO be HANGIN' TOUGH with them again!!! Didn't Jon have some sort of stage anxiety performance issue?? Wonder what's up with that??!! Guess we'll have to wait and see if he pisses his pants on stage! And this couldn't make Donnie Wahlberg look any less masculine huh? Just when I thought he'd redeemed himself and was passing for a true tough guy and good actor…..I can't stand to see him doing the "Oh, oh, oh oh!" dance again! YIKES! But I still have a crush on Jon and I'd buy there stuff….15 years later…..old habits die hard!!!

NKOTB Fan says – reply to this

58

None of them are as cute as when they were younger. It's not like the Spice Girls who are better looking now. As a former uber-fan, I really hope they don't look like idiots singing the songs that were made for teenage boys to sing.
cc says – reply to this

59

I cant believe people really want to see them…but I guess we did grow up in the 80's. Some of these guys are in the 40's! Hope they dont break a freaking hip onstage jeez!!! oh oh oh oh OH I broke my HIP!!!

75

I was a huge fan back in 2nd grade. The first concert I ever attended was NKOTB, but reuniting now? I'm not a fan of this idea. They should just enjoy the memories, because I sure don't see this turning out very well.

Joey McIntire is my grandmother's brother's nephew. So somehow that makes me related. Weird.
Jesse says – reply to this

97

Amazing I can't believe this is really happening
Flowerbomb says – reply to this

98

I'll believe this when I see it. Donnie Wahlberg has a respectable and lucrative career in Hollywood. Then again, he is the only one who has done anything with his life, maybe he's sick of the rest of them asking to borrow money and is tossing them a small reunion bone to get them off his back. They couldn't even get them to all get together for 1 performance for Bands Reunited on VH1.
PghDana says – reply to this

99

I'm not sure how I feel about this one. I loved them when I was in 5th grade. I think if they try to do a reunion tour that it will fail because they have been joked about so much and anyone who goes will be laughed at. Their music just isn't god enough to make anyone want to go to the concert…..sorry.
