On the 15th I went to the New Kids on the Block Concert. Yeah your jealous aren't you! I'll go ahead and say yes I WAS a fan! I'm not going to run out and buy any of their new stuff. But I have fond memories of the New Kids! I missed the first concert 15-18 years ago so I was so excited when Deanna called to see if I wanted free tickets. Yes my friends I said FREE! Oh yeah and we were on the floor. Granted we were about 8 rows from the back but we were on the FLOOR! It was so much fun. We danced, we sang and we had a blast! My sisters are totally fun to hang out with. My aunt also went. It was also her birthday so Happy Birthday to you, indeed! My cousin was there (she took the pictures below with my sisters' camera) but she didn't go with us. She also had WAY better seats then we did. But who cares ours were FREE!
The concert opened with Lady Gaga. She was pretty good. I would describe her as a mix between Madonna and Christina Agulera (sp?). I actually knew one of her songs.
The next opener was Natasha Bedingfield. She was good, but the set was pretty boring. I knew a few more of her songs. Especially since I love The Hills and the opening song is one of hers.
Then finally NKOTB!
Like I said these pictures were taken by my cousin because she was so much closer. I took some pictures but they were blurry and just not very good.
Recognize this move? They did a bunch of their old song and their old moves! Loved it!
In the middle of the set NKOTB preformed a few songs in the middle of the arena so we actually got pretty close! I always thought that Jordan was the cute one. But after seeing them, I'm leaning toward Donnie... yum.
And guess who we saw.... David Archuleta. I'm not a fan of his or American Idol but just the fact that we say someone "famous" was pretty cool!
The funniest part of the show was when Jordan did a Sole. (Donnie, Joey and Jordan all had soles). He stood at the top of the stairs with his shirt open and the "wind" was blowing. I couldn't help but laugh. And the girls went wild!
So that is my review-ish of NKOTB. It was a lot of fun and I'm so glad that I could go! Thank Deanna!!!
I was there too, and it WAS so much fun! Like you, I missed the concert years ago and was excited to go. And Joey is still my favorite.

ReplyDeleteThat's so fun! I love getting those 80's emails "you know you're a child of the 80's if..." There's no school like the old school! : ) I'm glad that you had fun!
ReplyDeleteThey haven't aged well.
ReplyDeleteI just came across your blog today. But must comment. I am so jealous, I was such a fan and watch some of their tour on VH1, I'm in love all over again! I feel like a giddy 12 year old girl when I see them, haha.
