Hello Again: New Kids
May 20, 2008 by johnbaptisedme
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.
This is really depressing. You’d think they would have the good sense to just die.
That being said, I had the Today Show on this morning for some reason, and Fergie was performing a song. It sounded like a Heart cover, but was so terrible I hope that I’m wrong. She then proceeded to shout out “Do you know where you are? You’re in the jungle baby!” Because clearly, the Today Show is what Guns N’ Roses were thinking about when they wrote the song Welcome to the Jungle.
She may very well be the worst popular musician I have ever heard in my life.
I think it’s nice that they let their daughters dance on stage with them.
you ARE being too judgmental! don’t deny that you felt a wave of pleasure roll over you when donnie screamed NEW YORKKKKKKKKKKK!
