Step By Step!

Click here to watch the New Kids on the Block comeback performance!

The men performed a lame medley of their biggest hits, Step by Step and The Right Stuff, on the Today show. Dance moves and all!

The ladies "loved" it!

P.S. They've grown tone deaf over the years.

They sounded horrible!

What are you talking about? They don't sound horrible. They probably can't even hear with all the screaming. I think Jordan sounds really good, actually
Kim says – reply to this

They rocked!! They did a great job and weren't synthesized or drowned out by background vocals. They sang unlike most groups nowadays. Keep rocking NKOTB. I'll always be a fan!

AT LEAST THEY HAVE TALENT AND DOTING FANS. WHAT'S YOUR TALENT, PEREZ? DEEP-THROATING? I DON'T SEE YOU SELLING MILLIONS OF ALBUMS DOING THAT.

You're right Perez, I guess we should leave the live performances to talented vocalists like Madonna…oh wait…no…she totally can't sing either, yet you act like she's this amazing Whitney/Mariah/Celine hybrid with all your fawning.

Take NKOTB for what they are…just guilty fun, kind of like "The Hills."

Seriously, though, did they ever sound "great??" I thought they did a good job all things considered. At least they sang live.

ALWYAS A BLOCKHEAD says – reply to this

26

There are over a 1000 people there screaming their heads off for them…it is pouring hardcore rain…I think they were great considering they most likely can't hear anything with all the craziness that is there…STEP off PEREZ…You will NEVER expericnce this kind of love…you're DEF not worth it

Danielle says – reply to this

PEREZ! You have to know that it was the sound guy and the mic's that sounded liek crap….. the next 2 songs were INCREDIBLE… you used to be my fave site, but if you keep bashin' the new kids I won't visit at all. I think you should update your comment.
Danielle says – reply to this

31

You are an asshole. They sounded FAR from horrible. They were REALLY good! Lookin HOT too
Christeen25 says – reply to this

32

They didn't sound that bad. Considering that they actually sang the songs. I was fairly impressed.
Jennay says – reply to this

33

Perez why do you have to be such an ass. Will you have that kind of dedicated fans in 15 years. I highly doubt it.. so don't be jealous. They sound good after 15 years and look so damn cute dancing ….

RumerWillisSucksB4LLS says – reply to this

44

Love them. I remember when I was 7 and had clip outs, a sleeping bag, dolls, and god only knows what of theirs.. I'm 24 now and I can't wait to see these guys in concert once again. I met Jordan and Joey a couple years back when they came to Houston to perform, and they are truly the sweetest guys ever!
Kate says – reply to this

45

Yeah, it wasn't too pretty, but it was still worth the wait. I'll blame it on the yucky weather conditions. I am still like a giddy school girl seeing them on TV.

Re: hannah – you sound dirty, maybe dirtier than amy winehouses's crotch. you are probably some pre-pubescent 12 year old with a pizza face who wishes she could be having jamie lynn spears' baby. take a bath you filthy skank!
Erin says – reply to this

I just don't think their choreographer from 1991 is gonna cut it anymore.

JVEE says – reply to this

57

Dude, who EVER sounds great on the Today show? It's outdoors at 9:00 in the morning. They sounded GOOD given the circumstances (rain and a record breaking group of screaming girls (and boys). I think they were fantastic and they are looking better than ever!!!!
Ashley says – reply to this

58

They rocked it! They didn't sound great great but did they ever? Hearing them do those songs again, I'm grinning from ear to ear!!!!

Jaime says – reply to this

63

They sounded pretty good! There were only a couple parts where they were trying to stylize too much and it was a bit ehh. And listen to them sing their new song Summertime, they sounded great! I'm going to see them in September!!

I agree in the beginning they didn't sound to hot but they got better…Jonathan so looks like he doesn't want to be doing this. I felt bad for him. I can't wait for Atlantic City!

Usually I agree with most of the things you say. But come on they Rocked! Its been 15 years. They are a little rusty with some things. I t was a great performance.
Ldysunfyre says – reply to this

70

I was never a NKOTB fan when i was a kid, but I loved this. They did a great job. Fuck, they sang it LIVE instead of relying on a backing track. BRAVE!

Kudos to NKOTB. Way to get that nostalgia $$$.
Maggie says – reply to this

71

I thought their performance was pretty good. You were totally wrong on this one Perez.
Terri says – reply to this

72

started out weird- might have something to do with the crap stage and sound that today show provided, but got better, it was fun to relive grade school days- they got better as the show progressed. I think they will be much better in a larger setting!

ummm…so sucky…did anyone else catch the laughing some of the guys were doing during the medley…
Dave says – reply to this

75

By the reaction of the fans at the Today show AND here on this board, it is AMAZING how people really want them to come back and love them. They are getting a MINIMUM of $6 million EACH for thier tour…..so I have to say great for them. Lets be honest. Who's better? Duffy. NO. Wannabe Amy Whinehouse. Madonna. NO. Ashlee "My father is a creep" Simpson. NO. Go ahead New Kids, Men, Whatever. Rock it out.

BAD BAD BAD PEREZ! THEY SOUNDED AWESOME! HOW COULD YOU SAY THEY SOUNDED BAD!?!? THEY ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE BEST BAND EVER!
Pippie says – reply to this

Loved it! I didn't think they sounded bad at all - I think they sounded REAL! (I know … we're not used to that in this day and age of lipsynching … )

Re: NKOTB Girl – I don't think Jonathan wants to do the reunion at all. He's the sole reason as to why it took so long for NKOTB to even reunite. I remember years ago, each NK wanted to do a reunion and he was the only one opposed to it.. I'm sure they offered him quite alot of money to do this one!
Stacey says – reply to this

You are crazy! I LOVED it! Plus it was raining! They are BACK and Better then ever! NKOTB Forever!

I'm SOOOO tired of reading about Kilye Minogue!!!! Nobody likes her, except you, and your peers. Then you start talking about something we (YOUR MAIN PUBLIC -women) really, really like, and start saying this BS?

Perez! Porque te gusta hablar tanta mierda chico?? For their first performance in over 15 yrs. it was great… They started off a bit out of tune and the mics seemed to be having some issues (not to mention the rain, I'm amazed no one slipped and ate it) but, overall it was great… I personally thought that Jordan's vocals were the best of the bunch and Donnie has so much personality… It looks like they're having a lot of fun together and I think that the fans couldn't be happier to see them reunited again… YAY!!!
Kirstin says – reply to this

83

Don't hate, Perez! They sound amazing…

P.S. It's raining and freezing in NY… give them credit where it's due.

I love the old man-slow dance moves. Can't wait for 35 year old women to relive their side pony tail days and colored tights. Nostalgia can only take you so far, but talent has to be there. I don't think that being rusty is an excuse for losing your boyish charm 15 years later.

It was ok…
mislas322 says – reply to this

86

it was histarical to watch!

to me it was more like the donny,jordan and joey show!
the other 2 were just kind of left in the background. what was up with the hooker dancing in the back?
hellokitty7 says – reply to this

87

What are you talking about?!?!!? They sounded AWESOME!!!! They're not teens anymore, so of course they're going to sound different. They have deeper voices now…duh! I can't wait to see them in concert!!!!
Kel says – reply to this

88

I can honestly say that I felt like I was younger all over again! It wasn't great but live shows are much different than the album. I think it's great that they are back.

I know that you're interested in it, otherwise you wouldn't keep writing about them. I guess you have to give all of the hateful people who comment here something to talk about. Don't go to a show, it'll leave (far) more room for real fans. Oh, and thanks for more promotion of the reunion. Have a nice day
