[lydiajayNL]

holy crap, this was almost 2 years ago, where has the time gone? i am still so happy they came back, like a fine wine they matured and got better with age! :P

[LoVeStoned2424]

@lydiajayNL I know! I keep telling myself it's been a year since my first meet and greet and it will be two years in Oct. when I saw them live! Time flys!

[pkatharine]

oh my gosh! i'm 30 now but they can still make me feel so giddy!

[alexxxyordan]

es un gran grupo deberian benir a lima peru

[FatSlobBob]

I just don't think these guys needed to re-unite

[Naviti7]

Maybe they didn't "need" to, but they sure have drawn the women and sold some music doing what they wanted. :)

[kaykay7188]

i just saw them at mohegan in Connecticut. AMAZINGGG show :).

[erayseven]

i frigging love them.....still after all these years. and now all their fans aren't jailbait!

[zietkowski]

my favorite ,Love this song

[MSMALIBU]

I agree. Get rid of those girl dancers and the ticket prices will go down.

NKOTB should pick girls from the audience to interact with the performance. I wish they came to WINNIPEG, MANITOBA!

[LoVeStoned2424]

I want them to get rid of those background dances, they don't need them! Maybe if they get rid of them ticket prices can go down, lol.

[LiberalFury]

I'm looking at paying over $200 to get into the Atlanta show.

But it's gonna be worth every penny. You can't put a price on nostalgia. Or a glimpse of Joey Mac in the flesh. ;)

[LoVeStoned2424]

What? I paid $190 for two tickets, and I have really good seats! Where are you buying your tickets? Have a good time, I'll be screaming my heart out!

[LiberalFury]

It seems that the show is sold out, so I have to get them from the scalpers on the "Ticket Exchange". :/ I've checked eBay too, but the prices are no better on there. I sure wish I didn't live under a rock. I JUST found out about this reunion last week -- if I had paid closer attention, I could have gotten tickets earlier.

[LoVeStoned2424]

LOL! Yeah, get out from under that rock! That sucks! Well I am going to the Minnesota, show and they still have a lot of tickets left for that show! Good-luck though!

[ethaniel25]

Joey, Donnie, Danny definitely still have the moves if not better. Jordan sounds great though and Jon? I hope he does more solo, he's soo cute...Ahhh..the memories are coming back. I used to dance a lot in front of a big audience for school functions and we always pick their songs. 80s are the best - good, clean, fun music. I wish they didn't have sexy backup dancers but I guess it would drew more crowds. Oh well, new song sounds great, they all do!

[volybllplyr62]

lol a bunch of soccer moms in the audience

[LoVeStoned2424]

my favorite part is 1:40, damn!!!

[LoVeStoned2424]

Love this song!!!!!!!!

[rooboi]

I think it's awesome for the nkob are back, they haven't lost there voices just lets hope there music is better then it was back in the 80's lol, gotta love this song *summertime* tho, watch out top charts this song will be up there in no time. I didn't like them back in the 80's hell i was just a little kid, im 23 now and i think it's awesome to see older bands coming back to make there music again!!!

[crazigurl2006]

Same here on the last part, except the age. But some stars who will try to make a comeback, just shouldn't.. lol. But NKOTB definitely are going to make a good one!!

[kaosluver06]

while there are younger fans there to see them at the today show, if you look, there are alot of older fans too, some that look to be in their 30s... they may attract a younger fanbase but they are def. gonna keep their fanbase from the 80s as well

[melize]

I'm one those older fans - it gives me a chance to feel like a kid again...Im glad one of my idols of my youth is back - and I'm still gonna marry Jordan...I don't care what my husband says...I think I might still have some of my old posters in storage! Im dragging 'em back out!

[LOLchicky]

Their really good live :)

[jerryru]

Wow! They hit the stage at MMVA in Toronto yesterday last night and did the same thing in NYC today in the morning.

[tallboy82style]

aint even gonna front that's a big tune styll!

[chonee23]

I agree. Music today are pretty negative. Its great to see that they are not screwed up like other washed up boy bands. They stay true through all these years. Jordan..I am a bit disappointed for him to join the Surreal Life. It seems desperate. You are too good for that!

[Carrie1054]

NKOTB are the best and glad they are back!!!! Been a fan for the LONGEST time!!!!! I love the song summer time and i can not wait to see them in Dallas VIP!!!!! This is a dream come true!!!!! HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!! My 5 men forever

[takersbabe13]

wow, after all these years i have been waiting for them to get back together, they finally did it! haha cracks me up, i just turned 30 and i still love em like i did when i was 10.. jordan rocks!

[giveyourheartaway]

That's right do it for the 25 year olds+! lol I'm 27 now so I remember them when I was a little girl. I liked them too (although I was a bigger BSBs fan in my teens). I love their new song! I don't think they need to reinvent themselves etc. They have to be true to themselves and give what the fans want - after all that's who they're doing the reunion for right? I wish them the best!

[hayjoka]

i'm so glad they've reunited. they deserve another round, seeing that they started the whole thing for all us 25 to 35 year-olds.  i don't mind the dancing...hope they don't try too hard though. I LOVE YOU JORDAN KNIGHT!!!!

[GTnumber1]

Memories Memories...This group brings back so much for me..I was 13 when they came out in 1990 with songs like "The right stuff" and "step by step". I agree, that this world needs a return to innocence like what this band is doing. There is too much bad things going on these days. May God gives us strength to endure.

[chntlrose]

Why do they have half naked girls dancing with them?? We only want to see the 5 guys!!

[IngaDoiter]

Love it!!! I still have a pair of bright pink NKOTB socks. My husband has been trying to get me to throw them out for years. I always new they would get back together.

[netteybell]

Donnie is still the bomb!!!!!! He was awesome in Saw II.

[hoolio1112]

dude, no nkotb ROCK!!! Summertime is amazining! This is the music I wanna hear! Thumbs up iff u agree!!!

[twainname]

They are all in their mid 30's, don't you think they look a little silly? I thought they would come out with a bit of a more mature look and image than the tweeny boy band thing of the 80's. I hope they do well, but they are still marketed as "puppy love" symbols to kids younger than their own children and gratefully that only goes so far. The other option is nostalgia, which is also limited. I would have liked it if they reinvented themselves as adults with a more serious grown up tone.

[carolki13]

twainname, what the hell are you smoking? so shania twain is still in her 20s? and no their 'market' aren't young kids anymore, it's mostly to the fanbase from the 80s. we're a lot older than their kids, and this song right here is re-inventing themselves. it's nothing like any of their old hits.

[twainname]

carolki13 I get that your bound by the blinding force that is New Kid's nostalgia but 70% of their audience is tweenies, their competition for record sales is the Jonas Brothers or Miley Cyrus (who is trying to mature past this kind of music) and the record companies do sell it that way. Whether you are 33 years old and still listen to it or not is up to you, but it is what it is "Boy" band music that preys on the puppy love tweenies. Their contemporary "artists" are 15 year olds, not adults.

[carolki13]

i'm not blinded by anything, and no 70% of their audience aren't 'tweenies', it's all of us from the 80s. yes, they have new fans, but 90% at least are fans who remember them from 1988-1992. and if they're 'preying' *which i don't like that word* why is there new stage show more sexier than it was in the early days? why are they doing more 'grown up' videos? they're targeting their hardcore fans and also new fans along the way.

[elmando5]

20 years later, Donnie Walhberg is still a bad ass!!! He's still pretty gangsta.

[sweetazngirl2]

i love this song.. has a great beat and it's awesome!! their dance is fantastic!!

[kayx3nkotb]

love them<3

[mahroo]

THEY ARE EXACTLY THE SAME. this is insane. am i 10?

[Myscilyn]

I am excited they are back. It has been a long time since you've been around, and I'm glad you came back. Excellent to hear "nice" music. It's just what this world needs, something nice.

[mahroo]

i am giggling again hahahhah

[xlyndzayx]

yoooo, those songs about girls lickin their lollipops (lil wayne) are frickin awesome. NKOTB still kicks ass though.

[jaden0413]

Good song, but definitely would have been better without the dancers.

[Nicole9893]

You know you are a true supporter when you hear this and then you go and add their albums to your ipod and jam like they just came out yesterday!

[SimplySoul]

Jordan Knight <3 lol

[NicoleTaylor379]

this song is awesome! i cant believe my older brother used to hate them.this makes me want to listen to their old songs! :)

[strofboar]

they still got it :)

[SkynsyLicious]

They've still got it. What is the deal with the female dancers? They didn't need to be there. There was no point to it. Fans are there to see the New Kids not some female dancers and bad ones at that.

[carolki13]

agreed!! while i luvvvv the guys and glad to see them back together again, but delete those half naked chicks shaking their asses, there's no need for them. we all went crazy back in the day when it was just the 5 of them...so, i hope they'll get rid of them~

[trish0604]

pinupgrl - i was hoping one or better yet all the hootchie girls would slip on their asses and make fools of themselves. the guys don't need these girls dancing behind them and in their film clips do they???? gggrrr 8-(

[kayx3nkotb]

oh & btw i kinda feel bad for jon & danny, there kinda outta it? right?

[kayx3nkotb]

i love them even though im only 14=]

joey mac still hot!

[mxdhoney]

Haaaa! my1994stang is a "non believer"!!! Remember when they used to call all the haters non-believers? I love my boys..they are still making ugly men jealous!

Good job boys, we needed you back. Idiots these days are putting out the dumbest sh** about girls lickin' their lolipops and throwing D's on their report cards. Haaa!

[my1994stang]

although...if i went to the concert....can you say MILF FEST?!?!

[my1994stang]

holy crap...i thought that once i was out of middle school that I wouldn't be subjected to this again...if we need to get rid of waterboarding, this should be the new torture that we use...

[nealservina]

finally a boy band yes NKOTB!

[pinupgrl]

Why are there hootchies in the background? blahhhh

[WickedFabala]

much better than the medley :D

[ItalianLoco]

They sound good here. They should forget the old songs and just do new stuff like this.

[jackspratnot1972]

Thank god a breath of fresh air, Im so stoked, these guys are back... This s*** brings back so many memories

[Darcy1525]

I love NKOTB old school but this song is terrible.

[rebelde1014ever]

I'm 24 and I never had the chance to see them in concert, but I'm thrilled I'll be able to see them live on October 10!! I love these guys so much - I'm so happy they're back!! My favorites are Joey and Jon!! :)

[Lovemcintyre]

I cant believe that this is finally happening, i'm so excited!! Still get butterflies when I see Joe x

[charlierwj]

Jordan is crazy hot still!

[xoxolove21]

ahhhhhh

i just adore this song

best song so farrr

<33333333

New Kids On The Block

&& they still can singggg

OMG

just amazinggggg

[gherlinde82]

i can`t stop singin`this song,all day man

[bohsie]

i really thought Joe would be pulling alot of weight with this comeback but, i have to say jordon's voice impressed me. they still have a nice harmony. Jon's a hoot to watch. He was always my favorite as i liked the shy, modest thing he's had going. Never seemed to get caught up in the hype back in the day.  loved seeing those moves again:)

[sabwilliams93]

John still looks like so comfortable while he's dancing! so funny!

love you guys, so happy you're back!!

[keldonnie]

If you listern to the words its about, thinking back to a summertime quite sum years ago... so no its not creepy....

This is an excellent song, well written,and well sang...

i think alot of people can relate to the lyrics......

welcome back......

loved them all then, and even more now....

donnie is damm hot !!!

[damnidunno]

It's really nice seeing some real music being created again. Even though it's creepy for 30+ year old men to sing about girls on the beach and call themselves kids, it's still nice to finally hear songs again that have melodies and actual lyrics.

That jon dude is retarded. i think he is just there by default lol brother felt sorry for him or something.

[xttx4]

They are still HOT!

[LenaReloaded]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I love it!!!

Poland is waiting!!! Poland is ready!!!!

[sweetazngirl2]

awesome performance.. i like the song too.. it's has a great beat.. they still got it.. nice work

[indiygirl1973]

Love it! Go NKOTB

[gherlinde82]

great song no 1

[homeandawayjack]

I so hope they tour and come to Ireland they never played here, been a fan for years here's to the best original boy band!!!

[liquid177]

wow what a song.. this was just a bit sad hearing that 80's style again and hearing the lyrics.. just takes me back.Like something they would have done back then but never released.Ah.. to be young again ....sighs

[priestrada]

I love the new kids... I never got a chance to see them live when I was a teenager. I hope they make it to California :)

[LordRufus]

This has a very good melody and good lyrics. The production is very late 80's, but I guess that was the whole idea. It reminds me a little of Donny Osmond's "Soldier Of Love" as well as the Bee Gees' "You Win Again" both from the same era.

[soprano79]

Were there paid extras to mouth the lyrics?

[LordRufus]

Heck no! This song was leaked weeks ago. All those kids already know the words by heart.

[SangreAzzul]

son grandes estos locos

chile

[broberts17]

happy bday jordan. and mark was a member in the beginning but left cuz it wasnt his style

[bedeu]

Donnie is still a lider and sounds muck better vocally.

[cheriF55]

they were awesome yesterday!!! I was right there :)

[jennalynn97]

this video is alsome.way to go guys!

[gzussturbo]

haha!! they must feel like they're teenagers again! NKOTB kick ass!

[MixmasterMeow]

To sortij: yes, Jon looks awkward--are we watching the same video here? I love him dearly, but he was never the best dancer and here he looks lost in the choreography, and he keeps looking around like he lost his place and doesn't know where he is. Ah yes, it is like the old days when the other girls would get very upset if you said one thing critical about their favorite New Kid.

[aislinno]

yeah the knight bros aged well

[mariegirlnz]

Nice to see him back, im guessing (I hope!) that hes overcome his panic attacks enough to be able to do this again. Joes my fave but ya cant help but have a soft spor for Jon. Hes got a beautiful voice

[tasha062]

you know there was about 3000 people who showed up to see them perform...that is a today show record...New kids are back!!!!!!

[MixmasterMeow]

Is this true??? Even more than Britney when she was in her prime? Go NKOTB!!!!

[tasha062]

yep, very true this is the most people to show up at the today show....just goes show how many people loved and still love NKOTB!!!

[FerrariF50]

Woo Markie Mark

[cookiesncream789]

Donnie Whalberg, Mark's brother is in the band. Mark Whalberg used to sing more R&B but now he does acting.

[thabooger]

wheres marky

[jessakapandora]

marky was never part of the NKOTB:P thats why you cant see him:)

[calixa]

ive seen this in a few places, why do people think he was in NKOTB?

The funy bunch. not NKOTB. "good vibrations"

[aislinno]

he was in the band in the beginning when they first got together but only for a very short time he left cause it wasn't his thing.

[tygrefyfe]

Okay, my stomach is all in knots again.. I can't believe they are back!

[tygrefyfe]

Okay, my stomach is all in knots again..I can't believe they are back!

[knevil753]

its 6am.. i ran out of crap to view

[stortij]

I love this song!

[br0mley]

OMG i'm in love with joe all over again - lovin' the song - lovin' the boys ....yeah New kids are BACK !!!!!!

[lavita76]

The guys looks soooo hot, but the girls in the background they could have omitted !!!!

[brunadora1]

If you are a new kids fan I would like for you to find your old NKOTB buttons and make a video with it. Let us show them that they have a great fan base right here on Youtube!

[khaosensues]

I was a big fan back in the day and this song kind of sucks. I don't know if I would go and see them live again.

[johnied8509]

that sounded okay I heard better from them they gotta come out with something better than that since they haven,t came out with a song in 15 years come on guys u gotta do better.

[sobepam]

i maybe to young for them being 20 but these guys are hot and this song is a really good song

[meadowblossoms]

Great song, I feel like a kid again Finally some good music!!!

[mariegirlnz]

Thanx for the post, im in New Zealand so we dont get this show. Love the fact that Youtube is worldwide and I can get a look at stuff that isnt put on NZ tv. Yay!

[virvirko22]

nice:)

[MixmasterMeow]

Thank you so much for posting this!!! I was late for work, ran out the house and totally forgot NKOTB were going to be on Today Show. OMG. I am falling in love with them all over again. I LOVED these guys sooooooo much, they still look great! Jon looks a little awkward though :-(

[stortij]

What do you mean Jon looks awkward! He looks better than any of them!

[scorpiodrake]

that's pretty good. thanks for posting.

[PatrickJuneMusic]

i think it would of sounded better if the young new kids on the block sang it

[RizzAkane]

I Love this song, Thanks

[Rkat35004]
