The New Kids on the Block performed on the Today Show last week. Watch it:

I don’t know. This upsets me a little. I’m not sure why. Oh, maybe it’s because the New Kids are close to 40 and are performing a medley of their hit songs from when they were 17. Because it’s painful enough to watch teenagers dancing poorly to pop songs, let alone some 37 year old has-beens. One of whom (literally) suffers from panic attacks when on stage (Jon), and therefore looks extra awkward. Am I being too harsh? Can someone else watch this and tell me if I’m being too judgmental? Also, is it just me, or does it sound like Joey’s microphone is louder than the other mics? Or I guess he might have the mic right up to his mouth. Like a beat boxer. Only, instead of beat boxing, he’s singing “Step by Step.” I think that might be it.
