"I acted and sang in a group that acted and sang." WELL BEST STATEMENT EVER JOE :D

[@LadySpace_888]

LOL

[@bellegraves]

Little Joey Joe, fighting his way to that mic. Get em, Joe 😂 🎤

[@jaredpadilla2963]

😊😊😊

[@lydiajayNL]

I love this so much, never seen it before but it shows their personalities so well....Jordan getting bored and walking off, Joe grabbing the mic, Danny dancing and talking healthy, Donnie talking lots and Jon just being gorgeous in the background. Our boys are all still the same way today, and I love them for that! NKOTB forever xxxx

[@cristinasanteliz8112]

FOREVER!!!

[@KristinStJohn]

One of the band's reps came to get them ready for a sound-check. The cool thing is that they insisted on finishing up my interview.

[@ilovenoodles7483]

They are nice people and they care! Even until today! You should definitely show this to them, privately if you can through e mail or something. Did you ever make a carreer out of journalism?

[@shaskins15]

This is why they have lasted as friends so long, and as a band as well. ❤

[@swan98]

Aww ❤ very kind

[@PatriciaRodriguez-qe5jv]

Q bien se ve q estabas nerviosa kristin hasta t sonrojaste es q esos galanes imponen

[@swan98]

They were so young, unexperienced and full of energy hopes and dreams. It's simply adorable

[@tootooamy]

I’m so happy Jordan stuck up for Joe. I just want to pick up Joe and give him a big hug.

[@alizvilcapumacancho8536]

Jordan so cute and good 😗

[@swan98]

oh where...? there are lots of things happening at the same time in this interview it's hard to notice everything XDD

[@mocancer8485]

I love the way Donnie is the bold spokesperson...he is and was always cool...god bless him

[@KristinStJohn]

Not pissed -- scared to death. I was only a freshman and this was my first time on the news show my high school produced.

[@pamont29]

Why did you look uncomfortable? I wish I was there to hug them 😭

[@HiMyNameIsJonathan]

You’re a legend!

[@ilovenoodles7483]

You did really good

[@detesrece4]

great job 💖

[@ilovenoodles7483]

The New Kids on the Block actually talked about this on some interview they did and said that this was actually their first concert for some of them that they attended.

[@creamteawithalice]

Oh my God.Jordan seems to have been super restless child!!!! I love him all the more.♡♡♡

[@eonkshabonk]

I love how when Joey said “I sang before” Donnie goes “We mentioned that JOE” 🤣🤣 I’m dying this is fantastic

[@jaredpadilla2963]

😊😊😊

[@crystalblur3]

They really have a cool sense of humor with each other which keeps eachother grounded to this day.

[@ronaldolacradria2054]

Oki I knew Jordon and Jonathan when they were like 7 and 8 yrs old back in 1978.. I was a foster kid in their home in Dorchester,Mass... I''ll never forget theirs pony named June in their barn in the back of their mad Hugh House on 10 Melville Ave. Dorchester,Mass.

[@bahardan8544]

Ronaldo Lacradria wow that sounds to be a great experience. They’re always talking about a black brother, was he also a foster child?

[@jaredpadilla2963]

Ohh que adorable , hablanos más sobre ellos durante estuviste con ellos porfavor si ?❤

[@Tre404]

Dorchester, where they grew up, is a rough part of Boston, with a significant black population. Donnie, especially, always had an appreciation for that culture.

[@michaelbull4639]

Tre404 true Dorchester is a good percentage of black my stepdad is Maurice starr s brother....he said the nkotb we re extremely ghetto for 5 whiteboys......donnie said in an interview they we re never uncomfortable around crowds like apollo or soul train etc they we re used too being around black ppl etc

[@ilovenoodles7483]

@@michaelbull4639 How awesome to be related to such a legend like Maurice Starr! How is Maurice Starr doing? I hadn't heard anything about him since his stroke about 2 yrs. ago when New Kids had their Hanging Tough 30th Anniversary. Can you give him a message for me?

[@rany_saeba]

@@ilovenoodles7483 I know he was sick and in hospital several years ago (3-4 years ago), New Kids even visited him. I hope he's doing better. 🙏🏻

[@jaredpadilla2963]

Ojalá este mejor saludos 🤗

[@charliesangel1967]

Sounded like Jordan sang "leave him alone" to Danny, when he tried to headlock Joey. Pissing Jordan right off to walk away. Then Jordan telling Danny "was I talking to you"

[@shawndamccormick278]

I think he was singing "don't get me wrong!" in reference to what donnie was talking about.

[@jaredpadilla2963]

😮😊😊

It looks like Jordan is not liking Danny for picking on Joey.

Oh my God! Jordan was the cutest thing that i've ever seen, currently he's not the same person (of course), it's a pity! but i'll be in love for that lovely boy forever. I wish someone had built a time machine, so i could travel to the past, just to hug and kiss this cute boy. love you Jordan, i miss the teenager you were, you're my first crush.

[@csds7679]

It makes sense that Joe would have been 15 if Jordan was 17 because they are 2 years apart. He always had a baby face and people with the baby face always look younger.

[@cynthiaveronica8167]

Que presiosurá Jordan!!!!😍😍😍😘😘

[@sarahmillett8895]

This interview was done just before Thanksgiving 1988(Thanksgiving that year was 25th November 1988). So maybe it was a PR move but most of the boys lied about their age in that interview. Jon would have been 19 almost 20 years old(Jon date of birth is 29th November 1968) Danny and Donnie would have been 19 years old(Danny date of birth is 14th May 1969 and Donnie date of birth is 17th August 1969) Jordan would have been 18 years old(Jordan date of birth is 17th May 1970). The only one who gave their true age was Joey as he was 15 almost 16 years old(Joey date of birth is 31st December 1972). Other then that I loved the interview because you got to see their personalities. I love seeing early interviews.

[@JPOM408]

They havent changed a bit lol so cute

[@Tre404]

Donnie mentions their Top 10 album toward the beginning of the interview, and of course, they didn't have a hit album in 1987. This is definitely late `88, and it's most likely that the guys were fudging on their ages just a little, as a PR move.
