Step By Step!
Filed under: Music MinuteClick 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!

please dont go girlllllllllllllllllllllllll perez ur insane…they were awesome!
Best thing to happen in years!!!!!!!!!!! *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys who???? can not wait for concert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW I'M HAVING FLASH-BACKS!
THAT WAS AWESOME!! I'M SOOO EXCITED! CAN'T WAIT!
i thought they sounded really good
At least they sang LIVE!
I think they were amazing!
Once again you have shown how out of touch you are! First Phil Collins now this. Your such a dumb ass!! O wait, I get it! Its not Madge! Funny how you never brought up last week how she got caught lip syncing!!! They did not lip sync and they killed it! was it studio sounding?HELL NO! But I guess when all the fags you listen too are lip syncing you assume that's how it should sound. Go Fuck yourself perez!!!!!!!!!!
Re: ROBERTA CHUBBS – LOL
that was hilarious!
They are Macy's herald square right now! It is a mob seen, the line to see them is a block long!
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so excited over this! I don't think they were bad at all….This is what people who sing LIVE without lipsyncing sound like. They were dancing too….it's kinda hard to be pitch perfect when you are moving around like that. I think they did a GREAT job! They prob couldn't even hear over the screaming!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE them. I wish they would come to Canada somewhere near me so I could see them.
Re: Eric – that's right man! speak the truth!
they sound like shit yet you have every excuse for britney's fuck ups? ok perez you fucking idiot.
THAT WAS FUCKEN AWESOME!!!!!! I LOVE THEM…PEREZ YOUR BUGGIN…THEY ARE AWESOME….THEY SANG IN THE POURING RAIN, NOT REALLY UNDER A TENT AND THE CROWD THAT WAS THERE WAS UNBELIEVABLE!!! I LOVE NKOTB….WELCOME BACK GUYS!!!!
So going to their concert, they rocked it and freaking awesome show! THEY SANG LIVE IN THE FREAKIN RAIN and really well!
They sounded great.. Joe's mic was a little loud and it sounded like the was scream singing at first.. but very classic NKOTB with Donnie's baseball hat and Joe's hat from the "Hangin Tough Live" video during Please Don't Go Girl.
Still the Today Show had the largest crowd show up they have ever had, not bad for a group everyone insists on bashing all the time!!!
loved loved loved it!!!
Give them credit- they sang live on a live show- brill! I don't remember the Spice Girls doing that, and they're younger!
NKOTB FOREVER!!!!!!
I was 12 years old when they at there most popular. So yes, now I am a die hard fan!!
THEY SOUNDED GOOD!! At least they didnt lip synch. And they tore up the stage. Good job!
I feel like a teenager again….they all look so hot still!! *SIGH*
LOVE THEM! Give them a little credit Perez… it's been a while! I wish they would add more dates in Canada! I'd stand in line to see them just like I did when I was 11!
They will always ROCK!!!! They are the ORIGINAL boy band!!!!!!!
c'mon, they were singin and dancing in the rain,, and it was the 1st performance together in 14 years! i thought it was amazing!!!
Squeeeeeee! Totally fan gurl moment. I find myself sitting at my computer waving my arms in the air to the "Right Stuff" I still loooooove me so NKOTB. I think they rocked it. Get over yourself Perez, you suck.
oh dear god Donnie still excites me as much at the age of 28 than he did when I was 14!!! They are a little out of tune yes….but I think after watching their first live performace they will learn that they need to not scream into the mic….lol
LOVE LOVE LOVED IT! i'm a grown woman and i actually squealed when joey broke out with "please don't go girl'!!!!!!!!!
THEY ROCK
I was a 12 year old girl again! They were kind of sucky at first but rocked it out towards the end! Be nice–Come the f*^% on–it HAS been 15 f-ing years!~
Damn Perez!!! I love me some "Queen of all Media" but I gotta kick your ass on this one! NKOTB rock!!! They did a great job and yes, we loved it! C'mon P-Nasty… Have a lil fun!!
AWESOME.
Stop being so negative perez, they made me smile:)
Hey Perez Don't mess with NKOTB fans we don't play when it comes to our guys!! I was out there in the rain with all my NKOTB sisters! Yeah the guys started off kinda shaky but yes it was raining and HELLO they were singing songs from before they went thru puberty!!! So lay off besides the new song is hot and they sounded great. Oh and did I mention they are HOT!!! Love the new look. NKOTB 4EVA WOO
Perezito…..ur sooooo wrong about this one. They rocked!!! You must be the one that's tone deaf!! or blind
I loved it, NKOTB!!!!! awsome!
Perez, you should know by now abut live TV performance!!! The mix was bad and obviously something was up with the monitors. Though Jordan needs to find anew schtick.
NO WAY!! PEREZ!! THEY WAS SO GOOD!!!!!
I didn't think it was that bad. Brings back memories for sure. My big sis loved them back in the days and I couldn't avoid the buzz either.
Perez you were 100% right. They sounded TERRIBLE and everyone can blame it on the girls screaming, on the weather, on it being outside.. but it was just pretty awful. Maybe in the weeks to come, with a lot of practice.. they might get better. I was really psyched to see them perform, and am ready to pay whatever it costs to see them on this comeback, but only if they get better. Keeping my fingers crossed. I never got to see them back in the day (because my parentals wouldn't allow it) an now that I am a adult I am hoping to relive just a little moment in time.
I think it was sweet all the old men trying to dance without breaking a bone how sweet!
It was a good performance, but they did LOOK A LITTLE AWKWARD doing the moves because they are so much older.
yes!!! the perfect 21st birthday present ever
slightly lame but I think it was more the old man dancing than the singing that lamed it up for me. They sounded about the same as they did in concert back in the day.
I don't care what anyone says NKOTB ROCK!!! I loved them in the 80's and nothings changed. I can't wait for the concert in Chicago which by the way is sold out.
Perez, you're tone deaf. They sound better than they did back in the day. and their new music fuckin' rocks.
Admit it you're wet for Jordan, or is it Joey???
I think they rocked but do agree that Jon looked slightly uncomfortable.
Good on them to follow the Spice Girls lead and make some moola for their families while they can!!!
i swear i love them!!!!!! if they come ANY where close to tennessee we will be going!!!!!!! I am 22 and in love with them!
They didn't sound the greatest but at least they sang live. Can you say the same thing about your beloved Mariah? No, you can not.
It was awful. I'm embarassed to see these 40 yr olds trying to dance around like teenagers…and they can't sing anymore either. Then again, they were never that good in the first place!
they were not bad at all! I thought they sounded and looked great - a lot better than most people preforming today!
that wasnt bad at all, and i'm not even a fan of theirs, besides, it's better than most the crap you peddle on your site Perez, catch a clue
I LOVED IT!! I am sooo excited about this reunion, 1,000 more excited than the recent Spice Girls, NKOTB FOREVER!!!
It reminds me of geriatric chair aerobics. I don’t know why.
I thought they sounded pretty great after they got the sound levels right. F-you Perez…is it jealousy?
THEY DID NOT SOUND HORRIBLE!!!! I GOT SO EXCITED JUST LISTENING TO THEM! CAN'T WAIT FOR THE TOUR!
Gotta give them props for not lip syncing. They sounded fine!
I am sooooooooooooooo going to see their concert when they come to Montreal !! LOL !! =D
They were okay. But to me Donnie will always be the creepy guy in Bruce Willis's bathroom in the Sixth Sense and the cop in the Saw movies.
YOU ARE CRAZY!!! THEY ROCKED IT!!! NKOTB FOREVER!!!
I watched it again. It sure brought back awesome memories. They were surprisingly really good.
And unlike 99% of the artists today that LIP SING…The New Kids have the guts to ACTUALLY SING!!! They KILLED IT!
Perez you're crazy, they we AMAZING!! haha so great
I was there and they sounded so much better in person, the sounds off cause it's between two buildings in the pouring rain. NKOTB Rule
I'd like to see u do that perez!!!!!!!!
Ohh I really liked it and I didn't think I would! I used to be a HUGE fan at 8-12 years old lol. They look a bit older but they still sound good. I aged with them so I guess how they look is not a big thing to me.
haha mandiva just made my day… u need to quit kissing madonnas ass, she isnt that great, nkotb rocked it out, dont hate, first performance in 14 years, i think it friggin kicked ass. go boysssssssssss
Lets be honest here. They did sound awful! The dance moves were in slow-mo.
Alot of dumb girls will make these guys some money, but they can not go on tour - that would be an embarassment to this country!
They should have lip-synced like everybody else
THAT WAS SOOO GOOD! UR CRAZY PEREZ!
THEY DID AWSOME!
Awww…. That brought back some memories!
The weather didn't help, but I don't think it was that bad. I remember loving Joey, but Jordan looks really hot!
C'mon Perez, did you not hear Jordan & Joe? They still rock!!!! I loved it.
They couldn't sing 15 years ago either. Remember when they sang live on Arsenio?
PEREZZZZ!!!!!! You're killing me!!! I have loved you for like 3 years now…but I've loved NKOTB LONGER!!!!! DON'T hate on my boyzzz!!!! You'll lose fans of your own!!!!
NKOTB FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loved them then, love them now!!!! Especially DONNIE….love those bad boys.
I think they sounded pretty good, considering when they recorded the songs originally their voices were different and they were so young. It was entertaining, I was enjoying the energy of the performance and their moves.
YEAH, I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!
Perez, obviously you were never a NKOTB fan.
NKOTB
IS THE FIRST
AND THE BEST PEREZ!!!
THAT WAS AWESOME… I'm buying tickets tomorrow!!!!!!
I freaking love them.. Im gonna pull my Pillow case cover out and sleep on it tonight….. from 15 years ago
LOVED IT!!!
P.S. They are soooooooooooooooo much
sexier now that they are MEN! WOOF!
They started off a little shaky but seemed to pull it together in the end. I hope they tour in florida!! Whoever did the dance steps for this performance needs to be fired.
HARDCORE!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHA I WANNA GO:)
Loved it
I was there and it was totally worth the wait….looked good sounded good! We were going wild
your thoughts and i respect them….
yes joey was a bit off..but hey they are starting back after so long..
i think they did great….
joey brought back the hat with the hole ontop he wore when he sang please dont go( ahhhh))..i loved it i cant wait……..
true fans dont care aslong as they get to hear them..
they did great as the songs progressed..
i love nkotb
YEAH…..UM…..I LOVED IT! THOSE BOYS LOOKED HHHHHOOOOTTTT!!! I SAW THEM LIVE WHEN I WAS ABOUT 14 YEARS OLD, AND I WAS FRONT STAGE. THEY WON MY HEART! *LOVE* TO NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK!
Obviously you're tone deaf! They were great! I got all giddy and excited like I was a kid again when they performed! So ready for their tour! I'll be there! NKOTB are awesome!
Donnie Wahlberg is still the bomb but my heart will forever belong to Danny Wood.
Best Boy Band EVER!!!!!!
Got my tickets already and cannot wait to see them here in Montreal.
Q
Gave me goosebumps. I don't care if they sounded shite or not… I'm chalking that up to the fact that they were playing outdoors on a shitty rainy stage.
They still looked fucking hot.
it doesnt work after the 22 second mark for me!!! ahhhh!!!!!
That was so good I need a cigarette!! They totally rocked it !!! Can't wait for the tour…I'll be there with wet panties! Haha! I'm not kidding Donnie!
Perez back off!!! I haven't seen it (Today show) yet but I saw their rehearsal up close and personal and they looked and sounded AMAZING!!! I seriously believe they performed better than I've ever seen them perform before!!! But the true fans know whats up, and the rest can believe whatever they want to believe!!
yeah, but you gotta love them!! i mean give them some credit…they haven't done this in how many years again?!? hellz yeah!!
I LOVE THEM……..oh my gosh I feel like I'm 15 again!!! They look and sound DAMN GOOD considering how long it's been. And let's face it, they were never really known for their outstanding vocals. The music was catchy and they were hot. Perez, leave them alone, they rocked it out.
Fuck off Perez, they did great. I'd like to see you try to dance and sing in front of a crowd like that and not sound a bit off key, especially after not doing a live performance together in over a decade. I won't get to see them live this time around, but would in a heartbeat if I lived close to where they'll be performing. A few of their scheduled concerts are sold out already, and the single isn't even released yet. Be careful what you say about NKOTB they have VERY loyal fans and a lot of em. Wouldn't want to hurt your ratings by being an asshole!!!!
Losers sucked when they first came out and they suck ass even harder now. I couldn't believe the crap coming from my TV this morning - had to hit mute. Hopefully they will tour so everyone can hear their special brand of shit.
OMG! I LOVE you, but you MUST. NOT. diss the New Kids. The X generation woman is in teenage heaven right now….let us have it….its already hard turning 30, and then to see my favorite "Queen" diss them breaks my heart….wtf? You HAVE to respect that they have power…..I know *I* have been known to wait in the rain more than 48 hours for them at one time in my life….now THATS something…maybe Im just being a bitch cuz Im living my last months as a "twenty-something". Yeah - that must be it…..forgive me. Luv you P-Nasty ;P
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They had the crowd in the palm of their hand!! That's how you work an audience bitches!! Take note!!
They looked HOT!!!!! I loved it!
AMAZING!! kicks a** compared to the shite out today on MTV!!!!!!!!!!
Hrmmm.
I do gotta say, they started out shaky… blame it on the time, the weather, whatever, it was a bit weird… they were a bit off key, and were struggling there… but once they got into their new song it picked up (although Jon really looks like he doesn't wanna be there heh.) And when they did "Tonight" they did a fantastic job.
Really, I hope they come to Australia, it'll be fantastic to see 'em as I never got a chance to when I was 12… but for a comeback performance after 15 years, when most people nowadays lip synch and stuff… really, they did a great job I think.
And… damn. Like fine wines, they were. Very hot boys, very very hot.
OMG! How friggin' hot is Donnie & Jordan!!! I feel ike I'm14 again with the flutters in my tummy!
Shut up Perez, it's really not that bad. They haven't performed together in like 15 years, so of course they need to make some adjustments, but they're gonna rehearse for their tour and it's gonna be fine. Can't wait to see them in concert!!!
They were NEVER great singers. And they sounded no different than they did when they started. BUT I give them much credit, singing LIVE, in the rain, after many many years, screaming girls. They can only get better. This was a good place to start as they are just warming up.
Perez you're a hater!!! and Madonna sounds HORRIBLE live.
