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!

that was freakin awesome n yes jordan sounded the best damn sexy guys!
Wow, I am still shocked that they are together. I love them but I do hope they come up with some new songs too. Still love them! Thanks for showing Perez!
I loved it to. I don't think that they were bad. remember they could have lip sync. I've heard worst.
They didnt sound that bad!!!!! who cares it's NKOTB!!!!
I love how you posted the first video…the one where they are a bit off key. Yet, the summertime video and the tonight video aren't posted. Hummm….guess you missed that, along with the 5 part harmony that sounded great.
Re: LaPrinceSsa – Oh god you are so right!! I loved i too! Made so happy and upbeat just feeling like the good old days. Put me in the best mood to start my day off! Love them
I loved it they rocked. they could have lip sync. I rember just recently when Joe Mcintyre walked past me and started talking to me and all the people started screaming then I looked around to see where joe was, then the guy I was talking to dissapeared. I took some girl and my mom to tell me that the i was just talking to was joe. I felt like a dumb ass. I just thought he was some random guy. I was a big fan of theirs and still am.
Re: Erin A –
erin's right, i couldn't have said it better myself. be nice perez
I don't care if they didn't sound their best ever. I still love them! PS they are even MORE sexy now that they're all "grown up"!
You can't hear! They were not off key in the least. They had a mic problem at the beginning and it sounds like to be Times Square isn't the best place to expect great acoustics. They sounded good, look good and they've still got it!
No one sounds good on the Today show. They were great! And Perez stop focusing on the negative (honestly, cuz i can admit the medely wasn't their best) but you failed to mention how amazing summertime and tonight were.
Okay Perez normally I agree with you on your comments but not this one. They havn't performed together in over 15 years I thought under the circumstances they were great. I am 35 and have children and watching them together again brought me back. You need to change your comment cause you are wrong! This Boston girl doesn't take well to you negative comments about my boys!
Jordan Knight, looks hot in those sunglasses. I loved the performance, but it did sound like their mics weren't right.
In all fairness, who the hell sounds great singing at 9am? Most acts on Today show never sound great live….only a few exceptions…Mariah Carey for one.
A bunch of old women jumping around for a bunch of old men *barf* yeah that's something I never want to see again. They sounded like crap…so not much has changed.
Re: RumerWillisSucksB4LLS –
you are wrong. he was one of the only ones to agree to it on VH1 years ago
OK they didn't sound bad at all. And at least they were freaking singing live which is more than I can say for most out there nowadays! Not bad for their first time back on stage in how many years?
LOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT! I DID HEAR SOME PITCH ISSUES..BUT OVERALL A GREAT PERFORMANCE..I WANT FRONT ROW LIKE 17 YEARS AGO… I THINK I HAD HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE DURING THAT PERFORMANCE…DONNIE STILL ROX MY SOX!
Are you serious Perez? They were awesome!!!! I can't wait until I see them live in Chicago!!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!! I luved it….Just watching them brings back so many memories!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I luv them, i luv them, i luv them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was surprised that they sounded really good live. Take into account that they were also laughing a bit…
I thought they sounded great.
i think they sounded okay. "stop singing my part now baby" was worse, imo
well that was anti-climatic.
THEY are "tone deaf" but you think Scarlette Johansen can sing? There's absolutely no hope for you…how do you even put one foot in front of the other to walk, you're so clueless!
YIKES! You're just a waste of clothes…and shitty ones, at that!
actually i was there live at the show and it was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW WOW WOW! YOUR READERS REALLY STUCK IT UP YOUR ASS, FATTY…CAN YOU SEE HOW YOU SWIM AGAINST THE MAINSTREAM OF GOOD TASTE…THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE YOUR TAKE ON WHAT'S TALENT AND WHAT'S NOT…IT CAN'T ALL BE BECAUSE YOUR ON SOMEONE'S PAYROLL…YOU JUST DON'T HAVE A CLUE!
they totally rocked it!! welcome back NKOTB. we missed you
dude the mix just sucked…it was a dry feed, no reverb r anything to help the live performance in the rain…whatever…i'll go see them…not bad
That Jordan guy was such a tool on the Surreal Life (when they were trying to record a song).
does anyone know the song wherer they dance right before please dont go girl?
its like just a beat, what is it?
Please, they sounded BETTER than that crap you just posted with Scar-Jo singing! She needs to give up.
hhhhmmm…if you stopped listening after the first few seconds i can see why you'd say that. but honestly, i thought it was a great performance. and all that really matters anyway is that the fans loved them. if you can get people dancing and singing you've done your job. and DAMN!…have they aged well or WHAT?
Yeah, Perez…you're crazy! After 20 years, they sounded damn good. 100 times better than Britney's comeback!
I LOOOVE THEM!!
Watching this just made me sad and uncomfortable. They're too old for this - don't they have any shame?
And even the dancers sucked. Wtf?
OMG I loved it as well, pretty good considering they haven't been on stage in years. Made my panties wet all over again! Tee-Hee
I LUVE DONNIE WAHLBERG 4EVER!!!!
That was REALLY REALLY REALLY bad. I think NKOTB was better left to our childhood memories. This is just pathetic for 40 year old men. Gag.
Re: Buttercup –
GIRL, U DNT HW 2 TYPE RTE. ITS NOT LUVE. ITS LUV!!!
They sounded fantstic…I almost cried….I was such a big fan back in the day. Perez…you're mean, they rocked
Re: Buttercup –
GIRL, U DNT HW 2 TYPE. ITS NOT LUVE. ITS LUV!!!
Perezzz WTF they sounded great, it was fucking raining what do you expect? THEY WERE AWESOME!! I cant wait until they come to the westcoast!
Re: kaitlin –
The beat they were dancing to is from their song "Click Click Click" on their new album, the song is on YouTube
Don't care what you say, Perez! It was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I actually got giddy on that one!!!!
Had to post again cause I'm so happy they decided to do this!!!!!!!!!
Takes me back to good times.
holy whatever…
got 2 words for this -> SO LAME!!!!
Are you kidding me? That was horrible! Ridiculous! *Vomits*
the boys from beantown could never be wrong!!! I've loved them FOREVER and seeing them Sept 28th in Boston…LOVE THEM!! Esp Joey Mac
I was expecting a train wreck. That wasn't that bad. It was actually pretty fun to watch. "The Right Stuff" ending with the dance moves was classic. I've never had this feeling of nostalgia and confusion in my life. LOL Joey and Jordan are still hot…
PEREZ I LLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOVVVVEEEDDDDD IIITTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY ARE BACK!!!! yyyaaayyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!
*screaming*
I love NKOTB but……they have old vocal cords and old balls now!
sorry.
dont talk sh*t , perez!
NKOTB ROX!
They're the best!!!!!!!
THEY WERE AMAZING LOVED THEM I MET THEM AND THEY ARE SO AWESOME!!!!!! I GOT THERE AUTOGRAPH AND EVERYTHING!!!
HA HA!!!
PEREZ YOURE SUCH AN IDIOT!!!
THAT WAS FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!
NO MORE BUTTSECKS FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perez,
*smack, smack*
Stop it! THey sounded FANTASTIC!!!!!! We still love you, but leave our MEN alone!!!
MUAH!
NKOTB was and is bigger than you will ever be fatass.
Sorta felt like they should have been wearing g-strings. And garters full of dollar bills. Something very gigolo about this performance, and they can't carry a tune in a bucket, except Joe. American Gigolos.
I loved loved loved loved loved it! They rocked! I am sooooo glad they are back!
WOOOOOHOOOOO!!
Lovin me some Joey!!
Started off vocally shaky, ended strong! LOVE IT!!! Saw them in LA at HOB on Tuesday, and they were awesome! I like how Joey's man voice sounded - still had a little of his old voice in there! And they all look the same!!!!!
They.were.totally.awesome! LOVED.it!!!!!!!!!
Girls… we officially have our boys back!
This makes me so happy!!!
They didn't sound that bad, but Jordan needs to leave his sunglasses on, he looks like a granddad.
I was there and they were awsome, very nice and lookin good!!!
The NBC audio feed was not picked up, they were having tech problems. I heard them at the HOB on Sunset on Tuesday night and they sound great. Im sure if the group had a gay member in it you would have praised the group.
Perez…come on now! They rocked it!!! I was SO in love with them back in the day. Seeing them totally brought back very fond memories. I only wish could see them live but I'm all the way in Germany. They should totally start selling all the old memorabilia…even their cartoons on dvd. I would so buy it all. It would be awesome to share NKOTB with my 2 little girls!! NKOTB DO IT PLEASE?!!!!
Phuuuuleeezzze Perez! Show some love for an original. I morphed back into a giddy, zit faced 12 year old again…Be still my heart!
This one is going to get a big
LAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW why are 30 year olds getting on like tweens. One would think that these people would have mentally matured and developed some sense of taste in music.
I thought it was fantastic.
What do you mean the sounded horrible…..they were AMAZING!!!! (well the beginning was a bit shaky but they got better as they went) I am soooooo excited for the tour!!!!
Hi, i am from Mexico and i have to tell you that when i saw this me and my son were dancing, i almost cried!!! i had 14 years old when i just to listened NKOTB now i am almost 30!!! hahaha i still loved them!!
they are not tone deaf. it's really hard to stay in sink and perform to your max in the freezing rain. besides i have bigger issues with this video, the "fans" don't even know the words to the songs, the had shots of people who were just dancing aimlessly. they were just there cuz it's the cool not because they are real fans. lame!
Perez…don't be hatin!! It was awesome! Especially since it was raining like crazy. They rocked!!!!!!!!!! And all are still hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Words cannot describe how lame this is…
Re: karinna salinas – I agree!!! Danny is smokin now!!!
THEY ROCKED IT OUT! SOUND WASNT GREAT BUT THEY WERE PLAYING OUTSIDE IN THE RAIN! THEY ALL LOOK HOT AS SHIT! IM GETTING MARRIED IN 4 WEEKS, I WONDER IF I COULD FIN JON AND HOOK UP WITH HIM REAL QUICK~
Perez … you really piss me off when you hate on the NKOTB. They are absolutely amazing. They sounded AMAZING and looked even better!!! I'd like to see you sing outside in the rain at 7:30 am and see what people think of you. I can't wait to see them at the izod center tomorrow night at zootopia. =)
They rocked it out!!!!
I am all over NKTOB! They had me screaming in my seat
Loved it! I true MAN Band!
I dont care what you say I thought they were awsome! They did not sound bad, and at some parts it was because of the equipment cutting out and the music was louder than the singing at some parts. They still can move! I will definatly see them in concert! Love you donnie, still very HOTT!!!!!
Lets start with I love that Joey put on the hat for Cover Girl. He looks the same as when I fall in Love with him soo many years Ago. I dont think they sounded horrible.
Ofcourse they don't sound the same, all of their balls have dropped by now! But seriously, they never had amazing voices. I love them, don't get me wrong. I still have my Joey doll and all of my VHS tapes, buttons, mags, etc. And when they come to Detroit in October, I will be there!
you're obviously used to "artists" who lipsynch. They actually sang. I give them kudos
DORKS. SO CONTRIVED AND CRAPPY. ALL DIGITAL. NO TALENT ASS-WIPES. YOU'RE RIGHT PEREZ, THEY DID SOUND HORRIBLE. HEY PEREZ, COULD YOU PUT UP SOME GOOD MUSIC, LIKE "INTERPOL" THANKS! LOVE YA. END OF SUBJECT.
perez, c'mon…. don't be a hater all your life!! They did NOT sound horrible, far from it - they haven't done this together in 15 years for gods sake! They looked amazing, they moved and sounded fantastic even in the terrible weather conditions…. and i for one am proud to be a blockhead!!! Join in Perez…. you know you wanna!!!! ;o)
They fucken ROCKED IT!!!! Canada Loves NKOTB baby!!! Can't wait for their concert in Montreal!!!
I was right in the front row today….they were AWESOME!!!
Hi Perez- Usually I agree with ya, but not this time! Can't wait for the Chicago show. NKOTB rock 4-ever.
OMG I LOVE YOU DONNIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG! I so can not wait until they came to NYC again… Im all over it!

Wow, I saw so many chicks from Somerville, Mass.. This preformance brought back so many childhood memories.. Also, Donnie looked SUPER HOT!!!!
This is so sad and lame.
