New Kids on the Block - If You Go Away live on Arsenio

[dixiegirl3179]

@bostonnkotb i think you're right since i stopped listening to them in 7th grade (got made fun of when i got to jr high) and that was the 91-92 school year. Dunno why i was thinking 21...i think i read that the album with this song came out in 94. I didn't hear this song til a few months ago and am sad to have missed it. Anyway, even at 19 he would have been passed voice changing age...my comment was re: a previous commenter who blamed his voice cracking on puberty.

[Jade161209]

Doing a favor for all the NKOTB fans: interview + the same beautiful live performance but

much better quality is found on Youtube:

Ps. I'm not the one who uploaded it, but just wanted to all the fans to know :) So much nicer

to watch and listen the better quality tape.

[dixiegirl3179]

Actually Joey is over 21 here so well past puberty.

[BostonNKOTB]

@dixiegirl3179 Actually he was about 18 or 19 because they had the lip synching accusation around 91 and he would have been 20 in the end of 92.

[elopez702grwu]

Say you'll never leave me girl promise me you'll love me forever promise you'll never leave me....I live NKOTB this one is my favorite

[elopez702grwu]

Please listen to Jordan that is his voice damn no dobut

[Mrshippielovespeace]

JOEY LOOKS HOTTTTTT :-) nd he sounds good too

[ARleftside]

ALSO. this is a vcr recording, its gonna sound a little degraded

[ARleftside]

<3. they sound so good, live and on the records. this is about the time joey finally hit puberty, so what if his voice is a little scratched? its natural. Don't critisize when you can't get up there and sing the song yourself.

[TIMBAMANGO]

Best boys band of the world hands down!!!!

[blondboyful21]

this when they could see when they came back they did not practice or nothing just started singing and they sound terrible plus the new music they have now is not good

[melanyebaggins]

they need to do more acapella music, their voices are amazing.

[keke0492]

danny i love you

[Penhazita]

I promise I love you guys forever... and ever! *Cryin' a lot* :*(

[rianconnolly11]

Donnie cocks up Mark

[nem9621]

Thank God, it's over. You guys don't have to prove anything anymore.

[rrkryon]

David Dyson

[farrincita]

love their voices and they are really hot!

[heartquaked]

i love jordan's voice so much wow.

[brittneexo]

joey myintyre is honestly one of the most talented male singers out there. he always has been, and still is.

[happymusicamd]

great vocals and they all look amazing in this performence ; p

[BeautyIsHer]

They're amazing

[xariesgirl78x]

They always are amazing everytime they perform. Especially Joey, I've always been and will forever be a Joe girl. I LOVE the harmony part at the end!

[copchic]

Thats my babies!!!! NKOTB 4-Ever!!! Talented and down 2 earth guys. Love them ALWAYS!!

[sunchildtine]

Joey was the Justin Bieber of the 90s

[NinfadeMar]

Jordan, I just can't explain what I feel for you, I really had no words to say all the things you make me feel since a lot of years ago, last November 30 2008 was one of the most happy days in my life because I see you for first time... love from Mexico, Jordan.

[barney25232]

i know you brother jason lawless would laugh out loud and take the piss,but hey we both know this song is the meaning to both our feelings about each other,,brother always and forever,,,,,,love you and the times you had to put up with my music xxxx love you eternily for that alone,and all the other fun stuff we listened,looked,and hated ,this song is for us xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx my bro xxx

[MzTwinkle100]

jordan was cute at the end with those braces.

[XaarloveX]

This is one of my favorites.(: I dunno why, but everytime I hear the "say you'll never leave me, girl ya promised ya love to me forever." part I wanna cry, lol.

[JoeMcIntyreForever]

this is there best performance live ever of course there amazing all the time :)

[blindness2sight]

But the end is very harmonic & beautiful!!! They rock & always will

[blindness2sight]

Bashing the boys is not what I meant! I just said that sometimes their voices live are off (like every human being) but it's amazing that Joey's voice is never off. I LOVE new kids & always will & even when their off I still think it sounds BEAUTIFUL!!! I am a fan not hater promise lol.... GO new kids & thanks for this vid!

[Naviti7]

I hear Jon the most in that last piece. He really has a great voice.

[blindness2sight]

I LOVE New kids but they aren't as great live. But Joey even live still sounds good. I think Joey should have sang more songs, what a waste of beautiful voice. But I love em all they rock!

[Naviti7]

Jordan admitted he was off during this performance. He said in light of the allegations they were facing, and trying to prove they could sing, his voice was nervous and giving out on him. You can see Donnie console him at the end.

[produce21]

Yo Jordon is really talented he has excellant tone and range and that falsetto is amazing!

[BostonNKOTB]

Dude, I love this performance. They look really good! Love you guys!!

[wdsr5]

any body knows what date this was aired???

[ForeverNK0TB]

i luv 2:44 to the end<333

[italiaprincess86]

What year is this? Saw it but forgot when it was.

[iheartkaratekid]

DAYYUMMMM joey !! <33

but i am a jordan girl so JORRDAANN !! <33

[jennadyvyne]

I didnt think he needed braces in the first place, but he can pull off anything...I love this song

[huktaunfonixwerx]

I remeber staying up late to see them perform this song and being kind of disappointed. 'If You Go Away" is my favorite NKOTB song and I don't think they did it justice during the first part of the song. It started to get better when they began to harmonize but other than that, I've heard them sing this song better than what they did. it was an okay performance.

[laraine95]

I agree about the braces. But Jordan looks sexy in anything. Im thinkin I h\should move to Boston. =)

[MegaLucky92]

he does look sexy in anything.

[MegaLucky92]

Jordan looks sexy in braces.

[MegaLucky92]

is jon wearing braces as well or was that later?

[MegaLucky92]

how old were they on this video? i love this song!!!

[nem9621]

@MegaLucky92 We're talking 91-92. I think Joey was like 19,(He's the youngest) Jordan was 21 or 22, Jon like 23 or 24 (He's the oldest), Donnie and Danny were both like 23. There is about a four year difference between Joey and Jon Knight; 2 year difference between Jon and his brother, and a year difference between Jon, Danny and Donnie. So you might be able to figure it out from there.

[nabrinar]

I get the chills listening to them!! Hot Damn!! And now I passed them on to my 4 & 11yr olds!! They love them too! No more Jonai for them! It's NKOTB!

[lovelybug129]

my mom did the same thing for expet i have over 1000 pictures of them .. so she is trying make me sell them .. so i can spend it on new kids on the block

[2004lourdes]

i love you nkotb , i love you joe

[marcaressica]

2:42 and after

[MRBLACKRAY]

They great in this song.They like Boyz II Men.

[DarkAngleSlayer]

they were b4 boyz 2 men

[JennRB77]

I <3'd them. Still do. So please don't take this wrong. You can tell they sing live for a few reason. Jordan in this video, as well at the 6+ times I saw them in concert, was always one to sing a little sharp. Joe in this video is flat and his voice is tired...

They sang live...

[tokiohfanatic]

I know they never lip sang...the media were trying to bring them down, since they were big back then, and it wasnt fair for them because THEY ALWAYS SANG LIVE!

[dabexta2007]

some parts he doesnt hold the note as long as he does in the not live song so that proves that they sing live..

DONT ANYBODY DARE SAY THEY LIP SYNC..!!

[yoyojo73]

i saw these live back in the late 80s and they DO NOT LIP SINK, they where the best Live act and always sung live.

[dabexta2007]

I know they are like the best band EVER..!!

[TheAtmosSphere]

I have this on VHS and it was one of my most watched videos back then....it's still my favorite song!! Now when they do it in concert it brings tears to my eyes!

[rberryw16]

Are Danny's jeans two-toned?

[mariecam123]

is it just me or did bsb do the same thing when they performed one time ???? those copycats !!! i see that joey's grown up, real fine real fine his voice has really grown too !! every1 is soooo sexy !!!

[0hmandy]

bsb never covered this

[DarkAngleSlayer]

why would they, it's an NKOTB song

[shadowmadness53]

I really love the album version of If You Go Away, but in my opinion, this live version is so much better! The harmonies and music make it even better!

[helenszone]

Do you happen to know the date of this..?

[joshblue42]

this is 1992 or 1993

[abbygailben]

Early February 1992.

[GinuF0iNe]

dam they harmonize so beautifully...

[RadGalee]

[bsbaussieangel]

[widgetchick]

I still think Joe has had the best voice ALWAYS. :D

[gpeuler]

I didn't know that Jordan had braces there!! You can tell in the last few seconds.

This is a very nice video!! :)

Thanks for posting.

[echolalia86]

He had clear ones.

[ktmcnealey]

Thanks for loading! Love seeing Danny sing because he was my favorite back in the day!!!

[sharongerard]

Thank you so much for posting this, I love this song so much especially the end, nice to hear Danny too!

[Poetess232]

Absolutely beautiful harmonies. Thank you for posting, I love this song.

[jsc2boys]

Oh that harmony gives me the chills, just like it does in their new single, "Single" Oh I am so happy to have them back.

[NitaiGauranga]

YAY!!!!

[vicdamone19]

dis song is da shti man i can sing to my chick all night

[Girley00]

I'm telling you right now: dreams come true. The fact that these guys reunited? Evidence! Evidence! I sound slightly loony, yes, but I'm such a New Kids fan (Jordan 4-eva), it's insane. Sigh.

[monkey1106]

I am right there with you! Its the craziness that people don't understand and that they make fun of! (I get lots of crap!) Unless you are a true NKOTB fan you just don't get it! They have the best fans, and they know it!

[CelesteK]

@monkey1106 Oh absolutely. Also males don't get it either. My mother, aunt, and brother all don't get why i like this stuff so much. My aunt even had the audacity to say that Jordan is a faggy boy not that I ever cared what anybody else thinks.

[acal1200]

jordan forever!!!!

[tokiohfanatic]

Joey is so amazing!!!!!

[PrincessArtemis]

I remember seeing this lo these many years ago and regretted losing the tape...they harmonize so well. Good to hear it again!

[tokiohfanatic]

omg joey is so amazing...such a good voice but jordan has da best falsetto ever

love nkotb

[1feistydst]

i remember seeing this when it aired. I loved it.

[mashia6]

I love where they just start harmonizing at the end. I hope they do more of that on tour this year.

[MIS689]

Joey had such a amazing voice Jordans my #1 but can't help checking out Joe then and now.

[xoBECKSTAR]

JOEY is so amazing its un-real, isit possible for someone to be as caring, gentle And georgeous as joey? xx *thud*

[shurbertmushr0om]

oh man, i wanna marry this song.

[nskco10]

[ff2979]
