So Anticlimactic

The New Kids On Th Block were on the Today show this morning.

They didn't perform. The crowd didn't scream as loud as back in the day. They got old. The fans got old. It was kinda lame.

Joey is still a sexy bb, though!

What the fuck do you mean the crowd didn't scream as loud as back in the day? You couldn't even HEAR the hosts, you moron!

Here's a tip for you Mario, incorporate a SPELL CHECK for YOUR blogs, you seriously need it.

NEW FAGS ON THE COCK ARE SO OLD THAT THEY CAN BARELY GET IT UP ANYMORE. NO ONE CARES ABOUT THEM. THEY ARE ALL GAY AND LOVE TO HUMP EACH OTHER BACK STAGE AND THEY LIKE TO HAVE BLACK PEOPLE FAN THEM LIKE THE SLAVES THAT THEY STILL ARE. THEY ARE BURNT OUT STARS AND ARE AS LOUSY AS A MEXICAN PUTA ON A SUNDAY. THEY ARE ABOUT TO START PICKING LETTUCE FOR A LIVING. CLOSE THE BORDER.

I have read this news and people's discussion on 'million airefr iends com'. Many people are very interested in this. They are discussing it there.

I'm sorry….but I'll go to there "comeback concert". I wonder if it will be as short as the Spice Girls comback tour……
SL says – reply to this

23

Didn't scream as loud? Were we watching the same show? Besides that, the fans aren't pre-teen lil girls anymore, most are in their 30's and older now…

They looked fuckin hot and like it or not, this whole reunion is generating a huge response!! I for one can't wait until they announce tour dates and release new material….I don't give a shit what the haters said back then and I sure as hell don't give a shit what the haters say today…bring it on Jordan, Jon, Joey, Donnie and Danny! You've got more than enough people supporting you to make this successful

Perez — its really rainy and cold in NY. I planned on going but it was so shitty. I will be there in may and I WILL BE SCREAMING!!!!!
Megan says – reply to this

What are you talking about??? The crowd WAS loud. They look amazing. And even though they didn't perform, if left me wanting more. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THEY GO ON TOUR!!!

NKOTB are back!!
Brandi says – reply to this

26

No, no, no - not lame, Perezito! When I saw Donnie my inner 14-yr-old squealed with joy… the crowd was crazy, not as loud as you expected because - duh there weren't that many of them - why, duh cause there is only so much space there. Don't think I won't be at their show in the fall, 32 years old or 14 years old, whichever I feel like that day!

HELLO IT WAS THE BEST!!! ITS WAS SO LOUD!!

OMG!!! No WAY! it was great!! i brought a tv into work….i was watching while i was squeling like i did back when i was 12!!
They all look good…yes JOE was HOTTTT
my only question-how did they get Jon to come back?? It was such a strong issue for him when he left…hummmm just wondering

This reunion was a BAD idea from the begining. I liked these guys when I was like 6 years old. That was almost 20 years ago. Let it go…
CV says – reply to this

38

OMG! I think it was great. I mean, the haters are still hating?? NKOTB is laughing all the way to the bank!!!

I saw them last night and they were great. Watch out for me on their "behind the scenes" show coming out in the summer. I had a great old time being on camera with them and being interviewed.

"LONG LIVE THE BLOCK" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: MEXICAN PIZZA FART –

Are you kidding me right now? What the hell is wrong with you? Good thing you can hide behind your little computer screen like the coward that you are. If you said those things in the light of day you'd get killed. Take it easy loser and stay behind the computer where you belong. Nobody wants to read the garbage that you're spewing.

can't turn back the clock. better to remember than have them ruin the image now. weeeeak.
36yrsyoung says – reply to this

43

Are you crazy? They looked awesome!! Better than they did 20 years ago. And I thought the crowd was amazing. Much louder than I thought. I'd really like to know when 35-40 became old, too. Last time I checked, I can still chase around my kids, work a full-time job, go clubbing, and even *gasp* DANCE!!

Stacey says – reply to this

45

Did u watch the same show I did? b/c I could barely hear the interview the fans screamed so loud. Of course they got old….it has been 14 years. They look damn good and they are going to come back and do just what they did last time. Make the fans happy and ignore the haters.

Jen says – reply to this

48

I thought it was great! The crowd was loud! No they weren't 13 year old squeels but still very loud. Especially for grown adults! I can't wait to see them perform! They never said they were going to perform today so how can you be disappointed they didn't? I hope they do a concert around here! Yay!
amanda says – reply to this

49

what do you expect? it had been years since they started the group. of course, they would get old and the fans, too. that's a given, man. and it wasn't lame. they all look great. NKOTB forever!!!
WHAT??? says – reply to this

50

What show were you guys watching!! THE AUDIENCE WAS LOUD!!! I WAS SURPRISED MYSELF!!! They look great, can't wait to see them perform on the 16th of May!!! What were you expecting Perez a freaking stampede??

"MPF" and all of the other haters…….Grow up already and admit you are a closet NKOTB fan!!!!
Haven't y'all Learned that you don't fuck with the NKOTB fans?! We will totally make your lives hell!!!

They looked absolutely hot and I am sooo glad they are back and can't wait to see them!

Perez…are you going deaf?? A friend of mine was there and she said it was so loud…she could barely hear the guys talk. Is that old age getting to you Perez??
Sara says – reply to this

55

Can't you ever just be fucking nice? They all looked great and the crowd loved them. I was 11 in 1988, and I was obsessed with them. They may not be as artistically inclined as The Beatles, but they were good to their fans, and they gave us a great show every time. I am so stoked to see them again. It's like reliving some of the best times of my life.
Samantha says – reply to this

56

I think it was a great appearance. The crowd did scream, you can obviously hear them. Everywhere I have seen on the net, everyone is embracing their reunion…I come here and Perez has something negative to say…how original of him.

I will definitely be trying to get tickets to see them in concert. I missed out on getting to see them when I was younger. Some of the media is saying all of this hype is over the "nostalgia" of it…like that's a bad thing??? What's wrong with getting a chance like this to reflect and relive our youths? The NKOTB bring back a lot of good memories for me. I imgaine many other women around my age feel the same!
dramaqueen82 says – reply to this

57

All of their fans are like, 25-35 now…and I have no desire to scream like a 12 year old, as I'm sure their fans did back in the day, I'm sure no one else in that age bracket would either. They aren't gonna get screaming the way the Jonas brothers and Miley Cyrus do, because their fans are 12.

58

are you kidding me? i couldn't hear a thing! girls screamed so freakin loud and they didn't even have to perform! lol
PEREZ...they dont perform until MAY 16th... says – reply to this

59

everyone knew that…noone thought they were going to perform..only your lame ass. STUPID FUCK!
NKOTBlover says – reply to this

60

Ummm, how could you say that was a lame appearance? How can you love the Spice Girls reunion so much but think that these guys got old? NKOTB was a HUGE phenom back in the day and everyone seems glad to see them back. And they are as hot as ever!!
CRIS says – reply to this

61

NEW KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!! Perez, are you KIDDING ME? THEIR APPEARANCE WAS FANTASTIC!!! the fans are still devoted as hell! THIS IS SO EXCITING!!! THEY'VE COME BACK! Bring back the memories, guys!!
auds says – reply to this

62

by the way, jon is gorgeous. i wish he'd actually speak up!!
Liz says – reply to this

63

I think it's a good thing. However! Before I used to think Jordan Knight was a sexy bitch–and although he still looks good, I think about his reality show stint on surreal life and he just seems sad and pathetic. Reality shows take away the mystery and it's not always a good thing. Joey rocks my ass though.
I luv NKOTB!! says – reply to this

64

I agree with everyone else…I could barely hear them talking. They are atill awesome!!I had to get off the phone with my hubby just to see them!! I will be there for their reunion!! We true fans have been waiting for over 15 years for this!!
nic says – reply to this

65

Are you kidding me, Perez? The fans love them and they have lasting power! I am soooo turned on by Jon's shyness. He was always my fave. Anyway, you are just jealous Perez with your deconditioned self and lack of talent. By the way, I, too, have noticed the terrible spelling on your site lately. Not very becoming of you!

I totally banged joey mcintyre a few years back.

OH HEY PEREZ… AREN'T YOU THE SAME AGE AS THE NKOTB "OLD" BOYS?

yeah that's what i thought.
Holls says – reply to this

68

My inner 12 year old was squeeling with delight! Jordan & Joe are still hot, Donnie looks haggard, Jon still doesn't talk & Danny still looks like a monkey. Count me in for the reunion tour though! I'm gonna have to crack out my NKOTB buttons
Lisa says – reply to this

i LOVE these guys… im sooooo excited..and the saddest part is.. im almost 31..
but i remember then from the GOOD years… hell., ill buy there album!
Eric says – reply to this

First, I am not a new kid fan, but I did see the show today. You hype up no talent hags like madonna, britney, and kelly clarkson. And now your saying the crowd wasn't excited?? Your such a fucking douche!! You couldn't hear anybody they were so loud. Get that Fag lovers dick out of your ears!!
lmegan says – reply to this

I thought it was awesome! We are all getting older. Who cares!!!!
Their Favorite Girl says – reply to this

72

Perez, I love you, you are my guilty pleasure… BUT I LOVE NKOTB EVEN MORE!! And I have loved them before I knew you, so stop with the hate already…
What do you mean whe you say the fans didn't scream as loud? Mmmm… probably because they are not 13-14 anymore. I sure don't scream as loud as I used to, but I would try with every breath in my lungs to make them hear me!!
I have read the comments on this, and I know I'm not the only reader of your blog that loves NKOTB, so if you want us to vote for you on the Times 100, you better stop saying such horrible things about our favorite band!!!!
blah says – reply to this

73

I f*cking LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THEM. They look great, their new song is great (actually it's performed by Nasri), can't wait till May 16th!!!!!

I was so happy to see them on Today. I used to be in love with Jordan but I have moved on to his brother Jonathan. He is better with age and oh so hot.
f u perez says – reply to this

75

ahhhh……were we watching the same show? It looks like they were screaming pretty loud to me, and in the pouring rain. Not bad for a bunch of 30 and 40 year olde who were big twenty years ago. I am on the west coast and just watched this but the crowd is still screaming. Why are you so jealous of everyone?? Lay off. Plus they still look pretty damn good at 35……and you- not so much.
la diva says – reply to this

76

Perez your crazy … they were the shit when I was 13 and Jordan can still get ..goddamn he looks good.
Danielle says – reply to this

77

PEREZ YOU SUCK. I was there and it was freaking pandemonium!!!! It was loud, I couldn't hear anything and the guys looked amazing! They were so sweet and talked to everyone and took pics and kissed the fans. It was great. And their CD is already number 2 for pre-order sales. It doesn't come out for a month and a half. You are a dumbass. You spread the rumors you want to not what is actually going on. It was a great day and the fans waited in the fucking freezing cold and rain!!!!
jknyn says – reply to this

78

I loved it and I'm SO going to the concert! I'm a 31 yr old middle aged mom (and yes, *that's* the pathetic part…lol) but I'm going and I cannot wait!!!

I thought the show went extremely well. I was worried that ppl wouldn't scream and cheer and they did! There was was more than I thought would be there and their web site has been slammed,too!

You're off the mark on this one Perez, but I still enjoy your site!
Nicole says – reply to this

79

They were gorgeous! My inner teeny-bopper came out and I just wanted to squeal! I don't know if I'll get my husband to agree, but I'd love to go see them LIVE!!

Did you see Jordan on The Surreal Life? What a neurotic, arrogant weirdo. He just makes me sick. I would be so embarrassed if I were the rest of them.
Their Favorite Girl says – reply to this

83

Oh, and I agree with comment No.64… How could you love the spice girls reunion and be such a nasty hater with this one?? The spice girls ARE MUCH OLDER THAN NKOTB and you have the nerve to say they are old???
katie says – reply to this

84

Yes ok whatever you say. I couldn't even hear half of the interview. Still look better then you.
Erica says – reply to this

85

I was actually surprised they got that big of a response from the audience, considering they're all pushing forty and us fans are now in our mid-twenties to early thirties. Sad to say I was flipping out in the living room when I saw that red curtain. But no performance?!! I woke up early thinking I was gonna see my NKOTB sing "Hangin' Tough" or something! Kind of disappointing!!
Triny says – reply to this

86

take the q-tips out!!!
the girls who make it there were screaming so loud that i didn't hear what meredith was saying!!! they looked freaking amazing… u know u will be there!!! so, see u there!!!
shut up says – reply to this

87

Perez, shut up. you were not watching the same show as everyone else or maybe your blubber prevented you from hearing properly. you're only a kiss ass to all those european artists. stop being a fucking hater. they all looked good and their fans WERE screaming loudly.
Donna62982 says – reply to this

88

You're perception is sometimes skewed Perez, my dear! It was not anticlimactic at all! I thought the crowd was great! and no one ever said they were going to perform. You just assumed that…and we all know what happens when you ASS-U-ME.
Kelly says – reply to this

89

Are you kidding me!? I'm so excited!!!
Their Favorite Girl says – reply to this

90

Sorry, I meant Comment No. 60…
But I warn you again: if you want us to vote for you on Times 100 (I haven't done it yet) you better stop with the hate four our favorite band… We may not scream as loud as we used to, but we knew them before we knew you and our love for them is BIGGER.
Jill says – reply to this

91

What? All my girlfriends are so excited. I loved watching them on Today, they were great. I can't wait to go to their concert! I'm 29, still a huge fan. I'm excited to hear new music that they had complete control over. Love you Donnie!
coldinthenorth says – reply to this

Limited dates??? WTF??????????????

Great that means they'll only do ONE Canadian show!!! Don't we count????

Still love'em, can't wait to hear the new album!!!
Drea says – reply to this

93

yes, they got old…
i know it's crazy, but that sometimes happens with people throughout time - they um….get old.
anyways, seems like the ladies still love 'em….they actually were screaming a lot.

jon knight was looking even yummier to me than he did when i was 10.
MissGreen says – reply to this

94

Not sure what you were expecting…I think they looked great, and I look forward to what is coming
E says – reply to this

95

Are you blind and deaf Perez???? The crowd was going crazy. You could barely hear what they were saying. They looked great. You just keep concentrating on those imprtant Britney stories- because you know thats not an OLD story already
fan says – reply to this

96

i for one and super excited!
Eh says – reply to this

97

Perez-

Don't let your obvious NKOTB bias dilude their appearance. I am no NKOTB fan but the crowd was RIDICULOUSLY loud. You couldn't even hear them or the hosts…. I understand you don't like them but don't sit there and act like other people didn't see it you stupid fuck.

Sparkle it up, gurl!! Let us see that seXXy shine!!

Still thrilled from Beyonce's intimate behind-the-scenes video, we're ready to DANCE after watching this Single Ladies performance!!

The crowd was WILD for Bey when she made her first stage debut since giving birth to beautiful Blue Ivy. And from the looks of this performance, she gave 'em their money's worth and then some!
