Rick Astley on That ‘Ted Lasso’ Moment, Plus: NKOTB, En Vogue & Salt-N-Pepa Talk MixTape Tour

[@stephyheinrich1335]

Seeing them together brings me back to a time that was completely different where people can be themselves and the music that came out was real

[@Nostaljack]

Try being a guy who was into NKOTB back in the day. NOT easy. The ridicule was real. I wasn't caught up in the fandom, the merch, the posters, or any of that stuff. I just responded to excellent singing and solid R&B. It was the songs that hooked me and they still do.

[@ladygreyheart2012]

Rick Astley looks amazing. I doubt he has to get in shape. He has more energy than people half his age.

[@MayLily]

For real, he looks great and he’s older than all of ‘em!

[@kenterminateddq5311]

I agree, ladygreyheart. BTW (on 5:12 ), what is that thing that Rick Astley is on? It looks like a giant cellphone.

[@karindubinsky2046]

Today, still, Never gonna give you up still holds, and together forever. This guy is awesome and I hope he knows it 😎

[@ewalker3]

Check out rick astley’s she wants to dance (was the lead single off ricks 2nd album from way back)

[@Jo-zi5px]

They all rock 💪🏼💯💯💯 don’t mind the genres aka styles which the companies always pushed. This combo is just pure nostalgia!

[@kiandeshouseofmusic5735]

Donnie Wahlberg looks great. He's always been my favorite. Much ❤ to SnP👊🏽

Jordan for me always was

[@sherylsimmons8111]

Love seeing them all together! 😊❤ Great interview.

[@tob4b1]

It’s true tho…. Up to this day: all of their songs bring smiles

[@dmvnative90skid63]

Going to see them in July! Can't wait for En Vogue to sing "Hold On" and "Whatta Man" with Salt-N-Pepa! I love "Shoop" too!

[@n9oqu]

I have to say that I was never a “fan” of any these groups but their rebranding is genius and attractive today. They are certainly bringing A very positive vibe with their new song. Good luck and thank you!

[@anneonthephone]

THISSSS IS EXACTLY what we ALLLLL have needed for a LONGGG time!!! I mean doing this EXACT thing that those of us who REMEMBER the "good ole days" and BRINGING IT BACK like a live mix tape??!! Absolutely a great blessing to see these people. Wonderful, and we fans are grateful 🙏 🙂 Thank y'all so much ❤️ ❤️ ❤️!!! Xoxo

Did Danny fall asleep in the tanning bed again?

[@c-tha-man9463]

Right! For a sec, I was like..."who is that>?" lol

[@sarahprince2412]

He seriously needs to STOP doing whatever he is doing there. That’s just not natural. It’s one thing to be tan but that just looks bad to me. His skin is going to look like leather pretty soon if he keeps it up.

[@monember2722]

@@sarahprince2412 he lives in Florida.

[@sarahprince2412]

@@monember2722 What does living in Florida have anything to do with it? I’ve been to Florida many times and most people don’t look like they have been living in a tanning bed. They look tanned but like a normal type of tan if that makes sense. He just needs to stop doing whatever he is doing because he looks bad.

[@monember2722]

@@sarahprince2412 Florida is hot and sunny year round. That is my point. You do see many sun kissed white skinned people in sunny hot climates.. One hours' flight from Florida is any number of Caribbean islands, and there are many white people who are literally brown from sun exposure. Sure they can use sun screen but I guess they don't. It doesn't mean Danny is laying g in a tanning bed or getting spray tans.

[@cybertaiga9534]

Kudos to all these lovely artists and thanks for all the joy they gave us via their music. May they continue to bring that joy. Here's to the future!

[@noelcarden8207]

This will be epic!!

[@zaappp1588]

I think the 80's was such a magical decade music wise because there was such a massive variety of acts and types of music and awesome music coming out of all of them, and you still had true artists that played their own instruments and actual bands and groups that worked to be good instead of so many tweaked and tuned individual cookie cutter acts out there today, many of whom couldn't carry a tune in a bucket without studio magic. And because of all that good music, I think 80's kids are some of the most loyal fans to their music out there and what's even better is it's not just fans in America but everywhere around the world because there were so many international and European acts putting out jamming beats during that decade.

[@alifc1082]

I find it so weird and annoying when guy's get asked about their fans, the girls screaming... This is how many girls and women express their enthusiasm! Men too, maybe not as music fans but as sports fans. As music fans look at female artists... How do they express themselves.. With all kind of commentary that I won't detail here... So what's the artist's answer supposed to be?

[@joranmikel7339]

1st question I would've asked is where is spinderella and will dawn robinson and maxine...be joining

I can’t wait

[@11kwright]

We want to see all the 80s and 90 s fan before their next phase in life. We want to just see what they are doing even if chillin. Would make a good show “Peep Into 80s and 90s Life” featuring different artist. Some I’m sure would reference a little singing to back in the days would be good and colourful viewing. Someone do it please. I’ll help!

I love Joey but I have to admit that you're completely right. Jordan looks amazing in that total black look

[@AliEtSaMaman]

Joey looked like a baby back in the days so it sure feels like he's the one who aged the most. As opposed to Donnie who looked old already when he was 16. He hasn't changed a but.

[@madpriest7822]

Jon isn't bad looking by any means but him being het most out of shape out of all of them for a while now, not dancing with any energy and of course to top it off barley singing and refusing to sing his ONE solo line "step 5" almost every time over the years isn't exactly impressive. Just when I try to give him the benefit of the doubt, I just watched the Howard Stern performance tonight and he's literally just sitting there looking down and not even doing any kind of singing at all. Just lets his bandmates do all the work while he gets paid.

[@soggyfroggy9318]

Joey runs a lot and I think that usually happens with runners/cyclists as it’s a lot of strain on the body. He still looks great & healthy though.

I guarantee you they look better than you and are a lot more flexible and fit than you will ever be in your life. People like you that always criticize other people because of their age just shows your total ignorance, insecurity, or jealousy. LOL. I guarantee you they look better than most people in their twenties thirties or forties. Why can't people just admit when people look good? Bringing up their age just shows how ignorant you are and that you're also an ageist. ANYBODY AT ANY AGE CAN LOOK HEALTHY AND WELL SO WHATEVER WALKER YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT I GUARANTEE YOU'LL PROBABLY BE IN ONE BY LIKE 30 YEARS OLD. LOL.
