Step By Step!

Filed under: Music Minute

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!

    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!!!!!!!!!!

    109

    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.

    So going to their concert, they rocked it and freaking awesome show! THEY SANG LIVE IN THE FREAKIN RAIN and really well!

  14. Kris says – reply to this


    114

    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!!!

  15. lisa says – reply to this

    loved loved loved it!!!

  16. kt says – reply to this

  24. Jenne79 says – reply to this


    124

    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

  25. brandi says – reply to this


    125

  31. Shomma says – reply to this


    131

    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

  32. Alexa says – reply to this


    132

    Perezito…..ur sooooo wrong about this one. They rocked!!! You must be the one that's tone deaf!! or blind

  33. Dersgirl says – reply to this


    133

    I loved it, NKOTB!!!!! awsome!

  34. KLF is gonna rock YOU says – reply to this


    134

    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.

  35. VANESSA says – reply to this


    135

    NO WAY!! PEREZ!! THEY WAS SO GOOD!!!!!

  36. jen says – reply to this


    136

    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.

  37. gypsygrrl says – reply to this


    137

    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.

  38. Tiffany says – reply to this


    138

    I think it was sweet all the old men trying to dance without breaking a bone how sweet!

  39. DJ says – reply to this


    139

    It was a good performance, but they did LOOK A LITTLE AWKWARD doing the moves because they are so much older.

  40. PATSY says – reply to this


    140

    yes!!! the perfect 21st birthday present ever :)

  41. Rebecca says – reply to this


    141

    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.

  42. Courtney says – reply to this


    142

    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.

  43. NKOTB says – reply to this


    143

    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???

  44. Joey Lover says – reply to this


    144

    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!!!

  45. tiffanie says – reply to this


    145

    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!

  46. Amelapa says – reply to this


    146

    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.

  47. Are you kidding? says – reply to this


    147

    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!

  48. Lily says – reply to this


    148

    they were not bad at all! I thought they sounded and looked great - a lot better than most people preforming today!

  49. Gimp says – reply to this


    149

    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

  50. Jenny says – reply to this


    150

    I LOVED IT!! I am sooo excited about this reunion, 1,000 more excited than the recent Spice Girls, NKOTB FOREVER!!!

  51. Jess says – reply to this


    151

    It reminds me of geriatric chair aerobics. I don’t know why.

  52. Nonono says – reply to this


    152

    I thought they sounded pretty great after they got the sound levels right. F-you Perez…is it jealousy?

  53. Susie says – reply to this


    153

    THEY DID NOT SOUND HORRIBLE!!!! I GOT SO EXCITED JUST LISTENING TO THEM! CAN'T WAIT FOR THE TOUR!

  54. Queen Autumn says – reply to this


    154

    Gotta give them props for not lip syncing. They sounded fine!

  55. nana says – reply to this


    155

    I am sooooooooooooooo going to see their concert when they come to Montreal !! LOL !! =D

  56. WHATEVER says – reply to this


    156

    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.

  57. NKOTB4EVER!!! says – reply to this


    157

    YOU ARE CRAZY!!! THEY ROCKED IT!!! NKOTB FOREVER!!!

  58. WHATEVER says – reply to this


    158

    I watched it again. It sure brought back awesome memories. They were surprisingly really good.

  59. NKOTB4EVER!!! says – reply to this


    159

    And unlike 99% of the artists today that LIP SING…The New Kids have the guts to ACTUALLY SING!!! They KILLED IT!

  60. Stacie says – reply to this


    160

    Perez you're crazy, they we AMAZING!! haha so great

  61. Evie says – reply to this


    161

    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!!!!!!!!

  62. Bren says – reply to this


    162

    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.

  63. amanda says – reply to this


    163

    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

  64. dumbgirls says – reply to this


    164

    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!

  65. MyTwoCents says – reply to this


    165

    They should have lip-synced like everybody else

  66. val says – reply to this


    166

    THAT WAS SOOO GOOD! UR CRAZY PEREZ!

    THEY DID AWSOME!

  67. Mimi says – reply to this


    167

    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!

  68. Marisa says – reply to this


    168

    C'mon Perez, did you not hear Jordan & Joe? They still rock!!!! I loved it.

  69. Blah says – reply to this


    169

    They couldn't sing 15 years ago either. Remember when they sang live on Arsenio?

  70. nkotb forever!! says – reply to this


    170

    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!!!!!!!!!!!!

  71. Laura says – reply to this


    171

    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. ;)

  72. RJ says – reply to this


    172

    NKOTB
    IS THE FIRST
    AND THE BEST PEREZ!!!

  77. Shari says – reply to this


    177

    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.

  78. Alexandra says – reply to this

    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

  85. Kate says – reply to this


    185

    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.

  86. erica says – reply to this


    186

    it doesnt work after the 22 second mark for me!!! ahhhh!!!!!

  87. Cind says – reply to this


    187

    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!

  88. Cilla says – reply to this


    188

    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!!

  89. Veronica C says – reply to this


    189

    yeah, but you gotta love them!! i mean give them some credit…they haven't done this in how many years again?!? hellz yeah!! :)

  90. dina says – reply to this


    190

    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.

  91. Sarah says – reply to this


    191

    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!!!!

  92. dumbass says – reply to this


    192

    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.

  93. NicoleJean says – reply to this


    193

    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

  94. Sophia says – reply to this


    194

    AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They had the crowd in the palm of their hand!! That's how you work an audience bitches!! Take note!!

  95. Gemini says – reply to this


    195

    They looked HOT!!!!! I loved it!

  96. girleskillz says – reply to this


    196

    AMAZING!! kicks a** compared to the shite out today on MTV!!!!!!!!!!

  97. Stacy says – reply to this


    197

    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.

  98. Angieang21 says – reply to this


    198

    OMG! How friggin' hot is Donnie & Jordan!!! I feel ike I'm14 again with the flutters in my tummy!

  99. Laury says – reply to this


    199

    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!!!

  100. maria says – reply to this


    200

    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.
