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!

Beeee Nice!!!! They were great!
oh one more comment… btw. DONNIE WAHLBERG!!! I so wanna do you!
LOVED IT!!!! I can't wait to see them in concert!!!!
WHY!!!!!?????
They cannot sing at all! It is horrible! I guess they were all out of $$ and didn't feel like getting a real job……..
I love new kids but what was up with that reggaesque rendition of the right stuff!! Cringeworthy!!!!!!!!!!
Cardio with live vocals should always be applauded. Not bad at all. You are such a bitch Perez. Jealous of EVERYTHING.
That was good actually. Started off shaky, but all in all they sounded great. They still got the moves and they looked hot as hell. Love the remix of "The Right Stuff" At least they sang it live, props for that
dey suck!
perez they weren't horrible!!! maybe you need 2 get your ears checked!
lol.. Woww. They sound not too good. im sorrie. :[
THEY ROCKEDDDDDDDDDDD IT!!! LOVE IT. I WAS SO EXCITED. I LOVE THEM. THEY SOUNDED GOOD. At least they didn't lipsync like every other person these days!!
come on Perez! They were always tone deaf!
I think that the performance was GREAT!!! And they Look GOOD TOO!!
Love it….OMG…LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
I'm 15 years old, and about two months ago, I saw the video to The Right Stuff and instantly fell in love! Now I really, really love NKOTB and listen to them everyday. They're way better than Nsync and the BSB.
I want those few minutes of my life back. they suck ass
I LOVED IT!! I LOVE them!! Sucks about the rain and Jon was SOOO off step!! Who cares, they're the New Kids!!
10/10 - San Jose, CA - I will be there!!
I love them!!! They made me feel like I was 12 again!!! And they do sound horrible!! They all look soo cute!! I love DONNIE!
This has to stop NOW.
C'mon Perez! Give 'em a chance! Yes, the first performance was a lil flat (I was just excited to see 'em all together again during that 1st performance), but the other performances were great! Especially when they started singing their new song "Summertime." Plz tell me u watched the whole show, not just the 1st performance! NKOTB nostalgia all the way!!!!!
They rocked it! Don't be a buzzkill, Perez, my dear.
Perez I usually love you but this is just wrong! I LOVE me some New Kids and I am very disappointed with you right now…..I heart Joey Mac!:)
PEREZ.
THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!! IT WAS JUST LIKE JUNIOR HIGH ALL OVER AGAIN. I AM SURE THEY ARE NOT THE MOST TALENTED BUT THEY DO KNOW HOW TO BRING THE GIRLS TO THEIR FEET. I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!
Whatever Perez, it was awesome!! Donnie better watch out for me, cuz I'm not 12 yrs old anymore, I WILL Fullfill my childhood dreams out on him!!!!
omg they were horrible… I wanted so bad to go see them , but watching that changed my mind . What's up with Jordan's sunglasses and the dancers ???
HORRIBLE
LMAO. that was absolutely shitious. i would be ashamed if i was one of those fans.
Perez, you are giving them a hard time. You have to remember that they are now older than dirt!
I wasn't even ever a fan, BUT I thought they did great.
I'm 54, pretty darn hip for my age. Young at heart for one, and two I founded a nonprofit that provided housing to homeless young moms, and activities & educational assistance to high risk youth. Love Kanye, Tupac, Luther V, Amy W (I'm 25 yrs clean, she's got talent, let's PRAY she gets clean) Eminem, Toni Braxton, Fergie (I LOVED HER AT THE GRAMMY'S OMGosh)
ANYWAY, been a music fan my whole life (dad used to play Lena Horne & Louis Armstrong, & Ella Fitzgerald and play his mandolin along with them in the dark in the living room at night.) SO I am a VERY GOOD judge of good LIVE performances, and for a FIRST performance in years. THEY DID GREAT P…
The WHOLE crowd was into it.
fuckin loved it. cant wait til the concert in AC.
You are an assclown Perez. They sound and look and move great still!
Joey Joe sounded adorable as usual……but I think they need to fire the sound tech for that show….some mics were up too high that should have been low…it was allcrazy sounding, but not bad for first show in 15…NKOTB ROCKS
nkotb could be recreating 2 girls/1 cup & i'd still go fucking crazy over them. ha!
Come on Perez….give them a chance. It's been 15 yerars and they were HOT today!!! I LOVED LOVED LOVED them! Joey, Donny and Jordan sounded great. Poor John still looked a little scared but give him time. I can't wait until the come in concert!
Never thought I'd be such a cheeseball in my thirties… I couldn't stop smiling while I watched them perform! I want to sweeze Jordan…still a cutie!
SO Loved it!!!!! Top It!!
why would they do that to themselves. im 32..and i rember them when they were the best. now that memory will die and i will rember them as has beens…wow! to bad
they sucked!
Perez, you should be nice to them. they have been out of business for the last 15 years. I recorded it and watched after work. This brought back so many memories. I am so going to see them if they come to Seattle. And not to mention that they are not HOT! Hot! HOt!
They rocked it! They didn't do too much not too little- it was perfect. I'm sure they could have danced a little more and slipped on theirs butts… they were perfect. I had goosebumps all over again. Can't wait to see it live. They still have it and when they are all together it shows! Can't wait for click click to come out!
i love it! HOT MESS!
I gotta say I loved em when I was 12. I could get on board with them maybe if they did a song with Kanye or Timbeland. BUT they definitely NEED a new name. New Kids they aint anymore….how bout 40 something and still dancin?…
Their fans are all old and fat. How time flies when you're down and out.
You're going to have to back this one. Perez. They were too big to be blown off, and this "come back" performance was worth a little forgiveness if it was slightly less than "perfect". They did a good job, and they're going to kick-butt on the concert route. Better jump on board the NKOTB train, my friend! Retro is in!
FUCK YOU PEREZ
It was fucking great!!!
NKOTB POR VIDA!!!! WOOT WOOT!
IT WAS AWESOMEE!! I was THERE and they didn't sound awful.. The freaking Mic's were horrible Freakin Today show and watching On TV the freaking camera angles were Horrible… the Today SHOW SUCKS!! i hated the way they did everything Esp how They set The Audience they fucked a lot of us over
dear Perez…… my how you pissed off the ladies today. jealous much?
you really shouldn't mess with our "boys". they we FAB and we looove em, looveem, looove em.
and now i can prove to my 11 yo daughter that there was life before Jonas…
support us gals in our love P, we support you ya know…
Perez you ARE out of your mind I was there and it sounded GREAT in person!!Your just jealous . No one would stand out in the rain five minutes to see you!!! It was worth every minute I stood there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: BeeLove – Re: BeeLove – You are 100% correct The Today show dropped the ball on this one, it was set up horribly!
=0 THEY WERE A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! They sounded good, looked good - whats not to love! Shame on you perez!!! I wish the concert was tomorrow!!!!
Who cares if they can sing…. did you even SEE Jordan??
Don't force us to choose between you and the New Kids, Perez, I'M WARNING YOU!!!
not only can they no longer sing they look horrible dancing as well:P
Donnie W. was rockin it though… Was it Jordan who sang the lead on Step by STep? The techs could have hooked up his mic because it was screwed up or something but you could hear Donnie's energy!
I love NKOTB!!! totally buying concert tickets!
Okay, so it wasn't the best performance every, but like everyone has said- it was raining and the screaming girls (errr.. women) made it difficult. Besides, after 15 years, I was highly impressed. It brought me back to my 'tween years, and I personally can't wait for the tour to re-live my childhood! Keep in mind, NKOTB was HUGE in 1990, and this is like the Rolling Stones or the Beatles announcing a reunion tour for our generation!!!
ok so it wizny the best but well at least we no there ive
lol i dont see the point in them really a meen why do all this after soo long ther just trying to be like take that and the spice girls why are all theese groups doings this dont get me wrong i lik them though
How pathetic…seriously! They look like a bunch of idiots! They should be calling themselves, "OLD MEN on the Block." I'm almost embarrassed for them. I loved New Kids…back in 8th grade!!! This distorts the memories…
they are going to make some green
p.s.
They sounded better that any of the manufactured bands out there today!
I got goosebumps! OMG I can't wait for the tour. They look fantastic.
I love you, Perez, but nobody talks shit about my guys!
Perez is right. They were horrible. I expected better from people with so much performance experience.
I was in love with these guys FOREVER!!!!!!! And its hard to believe that now 10 yrs later they can still bring a smile to my face.. They Rocked It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They suck huge balls!!
I love NKOTB !!!!!!
I love you Jordan!! Come to ASIA!!!
THEY WERE OK,TOO OLD TO BE CALLED NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK…BUT WHATEVER…MORE POWER TO THEM:=)
HORRENDOUS!!! wtf, do they think they are gangsta' rappers with the way they were dancing? and…y did we change the tempo of step by step?
this is hilarious. It's so funny how they try to come back after so many years to make some money. Good Luck…
I was there and they were amazing. You suck Perez. Never talk ish about the New Kids …ever!!
haha sooo funny you gotta watch this
i'm so fucking excited they are back together! i am 30 years old and giddy like a school girl, they were my faves ever!!! i am seeing them in Chicago! can't wait to wear my vintage Hangin' Tough tee!
ps - perez, you suck. they sounded fine, at least they didn't lipsynch like your lamb mimi & everyone else you praise on this site. oh, and they paved they way for craptastic boybands for years, including JT. NKOTB forever!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, this wasn't the greatest performance…that's for sure. It was alright…but their voices were definately off. They did sing Summertime better, but that song sucks. I love their older songs though.
Seriously people….it's not as "horrible" as some people are saying. Also…it's not as great as some of the fans think. They are just being delusional because they're so excited about them coming back.
I've been there and I loved it! By the way..today show's organization was bad!!…but the New kids rocked!!!!!!
just so you know there were about 50,000 screaming fans! how well would you be able to hear outdoors??? they did a fabulous job and it was a great experience to be able to see them live for their first performance in 15yrs. Perez I think you are totally jealous because they wouldn't give you the time of day. Come out of the closet we all know you are a secret NKOTB fan!!!!
LOOOOVED IT. god they're so old now…but you better believe i'll be at the concert….
Perez lets see you dance those moves and sing like that in the pouring rain!!! I love you Perez but we all know you would bust your a**!!
Anyway….they looked great…it was alittle rocky at first but they quickly fixed that. Im so happy there back..I been a fan since they first came out and I will be a fan of theirs FOREVER!!!
Cant wait to see them in concert…its going to be a blast from the past lol
NKOTB rock!!!!!!
what are you talking about they didn't sound bad I should know I am a trained singer.I mean they aren't the best singers but who cares it not about that. IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!
Not so bad !!!!!
I LOVE NKOTB, and will defitnitley be going to the concert, with big buttons and all……………..love to you Perez, just not as much as them!!!!!!!!!They ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I waited 18 hours in the sun and rain to see them on Friday! And I would TOTALLY do it AGAIN! Perez- you have no idea- they rocked!!!!
AWESOME. Cant wait to see them in concert in Sept. LOVE IT!
Wow….i know comebacks are awesome sometimes but this is silly! LOL They have NO chemistry now LOL a bunch of 40 year olds signing their his from the 80's. They must be hard up for cash, ir saw all the extra millions The Spice Girls mooched off fans. I can squat and shit out soemthing better than this! LOL
Donnie goes from SAW2,3,4, Dead Silence to reforming New Kids On The Block!? Donnie stick to the horror flicks dude
Oh my God! Absolutely loved it! It brought back so many memories! I hope they perform more!
oh PEREZ!
give them a break!
they're 40+ yrs old now!
they were FANTASTIC!
can't wait to see them when they come to Toronto!!!!!
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahaha!
it'll be a grand ol' time!
*wink*
m.
Don't hate because you can't have them Perez. They sounded like grown men trying to sing a song they made before they hit puberty, nothing wrong with that!
dude, those guys never sounded any good.
NKOTB rock. Perez give them some love!
Despues de tantos años esperandolos!!!! que alegria para mi corazon!!!!
Eso si que son tios buenos!
Besos Perezito
LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!
I have been waiting forever for this and cant wait to see them on tour!!!!:)
well at least they didnt lip sync. i loved it it gave me chills sounding crap or not
They sounded terrible but the dance moves were awesome.
They could be the next Chippendales- they should strip instead of singing!
That's it, I'm done wasting my time visting this website. Unless it's freakin Mandonna (who's vocals are terrible) you say they suck. Well suck this!
It's like watching a million people's mid-life crisis all at once.
the sound like fuckinn shit! nice moves tho
SHRUGZ
Joe's mic was up a little loud, but once that was fixed…it was FANTASATIC . Summertime was amazing, they are amazing, and I can't wait for the concerts. I took the trip up to NYC for the tapping and couldn't have asked for a better performance.
I was there and they sounded fantastic!
I usually agree with u, Perez, but you're wrong on this one!
They were great!!!!
fuck you u fucking asshole look at the condition they were performing under u dick
thats takes me back memory lane… they looked a bit cheezy but I loved it! I'm sure you probably where singing along too Perez.
