The New Kids on the Block decided to air their concert in Boston where the band originated. VH1 aired a behind the music episode with interviews with each member of the group backstage before the concert began. Once the program was over it cut to the beginning of their much talked about “The Block” tour.

NKOTB recently released their second single off their latest cd entitled “Single”. They opened up the show with the same song by getting right into two old songs “My Favorite Girl” and “The Right Stuff”. The crowd obviously was loving what was going on. The crowd was a bit older, but still very much into screaming and dancing.

The funny thing is not much has changed for the group. Donnie still can’t sing which I find very funny since he was the first member of the group. Jordan and Joey are pretty much the singers in the group, no doubt about it. Yet, the other three, Jon, Danny, and Donnie are average singers that just know how to be appealing to their fans. I thought they are one of the few great entertainers left in the music business. I say this since there aren’t too many singers or bands I would pay to see anymore. For instance, I would pay to see Tina Turner, Paul McCartney, Kelly Clarkson, or Pink, but I couldn’t pay to see Rihanna or Celine Dion. There are a select few that know how to connect to their audience and NKOTB know how to do that.

VH1 did a smart thing by airing the group’s concert. Of course they didn’t air the entire show but at least they gave a glimpse of what to expect at their concert. I got my tickets and know many other people who do as well. Never saw the guys at the peak of their popularity but I anticipate a great experience and definitely a show worth the money.
