[@seanmonetathchi1060]

As an adolescent, my wife of fourteen years desperately wanted to go to any of their concerts but her mom never would take her. Now I've taken her to see NKOTB twice in OKC for their Mixtape Tour starring other groups of the Eighties (hence Mixtape). The first time I got us 8th row floor seats however I chose seats at the outer end of the row hoping she could get close to one of the band as they circled the floor. Luckily enough Joey McIntyre (the youngest and my wife's favorite!) swung down and around the floor on our side. She stuck out her hand and Joey quickly shook her hand in passing! Needless to say she blushed and melted into a puddle of adolescent puppy love. 😻💯 She rewarded me very, very well for my efforts. 👍

[@seanmonetathchi1060]

They still put out new music to support their tours. Look up "Boys In The Band (Boy Band Anthem)" from 3 years ago and "Bring Back The Time (Ft Salt-N-Pepa, Rick Astley, En Vogue) " they released this month!

A great night of entertainment for a musical stroll down 80s nostalgia. 💯 Good luck!

[@gkcollard2]

I’m 64. Growing up, I was in the rock world. As a young married woman, straight classic country after my husband taught me how to two step, waltz, and Colton eyed joe! But, when my teen daughter introduced me to NKOTB, I was hopping and jiving all over the house to their music! Still can’t sit still when I hear their songs!

[@allieren]

Oh no, you’ve broken the NKOTB seal 😂 The way these guys took OVER the scene when I was in junior high. Saying they were absolutely massive doesn’t begin to describe how girls my age felt about them back then. Then grunge hit the scene at right about the middle of their peak, and it seemed like my geeky friends and I were blown away by Nirvana and Pearl Jam while the popular girls in school were swooning over the NKOTB boys. You should check out “Good Vibrations” by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch which was a pretty popular song right around this time. Not only is Mark Wahlburg NKOTB singer Donnie Wahlburg’s brother, he’s now a pretty famous actor-I’m sure most people know him from his acting and have never heard of Marky Mark Edit: Okay, so I admittedly kind of hated NKOTB back in the day and haven’t seen this video or heard this song in a decade or two. Watching it now, I get it. Like… I get it. I’m dancing all the way through 😂 They were cute and super fun. And even if I didn’t like them, I sure knew their names and every word to their singles because they were every-dang-where. We really didn’t have boy bands with this type of vibe before they came along-I’m pretty sure NSync and BSB exist because of NKOTB laying the foundation. I think they were the first of this type, and if not they were still the absolute biggest. You guys have been digging up a lot of old music memories lately!

[@MorrisB1971]

NjKOTB were the first global white boy band. They set the precedence for all subsequent group. Their manager (Mayrice Starr) also managed New Edition and wanted to put together an all white band from Boston .

[@thebibagirrrlshow]

Lots of music influenced “boy bands”, New Edition a couple of years before NKOTB, 15yrs earlier we had The Osmonds & The Jackson 5, before that there were tons of groups-technically The Bee Gees & The Beach Boys when they were young had a big following of teen girls, The Beatles when they 1st came out were like a boy band even though they wrote songs & played instruments, girls chased them & had crushes on their favorites, going back even farther to Frankie Valley & The Four Seasons as well as several Motown groups like The Temptations mixed harmonies w/choregraphy in performances

[@mayaspikes9524]

So glad you loved this song! NKOTB were my first loves. My fave was Jonathan Knight, aka: The Quiet One. Jon sang the "Don't you know that the time is right" lyric in Step by Step. He's the lead singer's (Jordan Knight) older brother. Fun fact: Speaking of brothers, another NKOTB member is Donny Wahlberg, who is the older brother of actor Mark Wahlberg.

[@geminiacleo7ewe]

I'm so GLAD you enjoyed it!!! They are: Taking the lead for this song, Jordan Knight. ( the gorgeous, groomed one)Older brother Jonathan (Jon) was the shy one who sang " Don't you know that the time has arrived " Danny Wood was the one lifting weights and wore the American flag shirt he was the most chilled and calm one, Donnie Wahlberg (the one on the motorcycle,was the clown with the endless energy) is an actor who has been in "Ransom" with Mel Gibson, "The Sixth Sense " and Blue Bloods,and is older brother to Mark Wahlberg who makes an appearance toward the end of the video,and Joey McIntyre was the baby of the bunch who took lead quite often.

[@AnnaMaria-zm8cv]

Jonathan has a really amazing undersetimated voice, but he is so shy, even nowadays, he sometimes doesnt have to guts to perform and his fans and fellow band members just accept him in the way he is and if he doesnt want to perform he can just walk off stage any moment he wants, no questions asked, and if he decides to do a solo, he is rewarded with so many hugs and love its almost adorable to see. He couldnt have better buddies. As we the fans know, Jon is gay and he struggled really hard with it and coming out, he wasnt allowed to because the manager was afraid it would ruin the band. But it damaged him so so much, he was 'reason' to break up because his secret ruined him. But the guys convinced him to come back and I assume he only would if he could 100% be himself. And guess what, the fans loved him even more. If you know that back stage story you realise how amazing and incredible strong this band is, mentally. Their bond with eachother and their fans is indestructable. Jon has secretly always been my favorite, however I expressed myself more with Joe, I guess it was my own struggle that I shared with Jon, I am not gay but severely anti social/shy and I can relate to him how being overly sensitive can ruin you as a person if you cant be who you truly are. He loves the same stuff as me, and it brought some tear to my eyes reading after all those years how he battled with mental issues but in the end got the life he so needed and deserved with his husband, farm, tv projects (he has his own home designers series) and stuff after he finally decided to come out. Jordan his brother also has mental issues as nkotb has like many bands been heavy exploited in those days but he also found out his bandmembers and fans lift him up and he thrives there. Nkotb is not just their music, their fans love all of them and how amazing down to earth they are, its almost like a cult. Their fanbase is very solid and they usually have their kids also hooked. The fans of the early days now go to concerts together with their (often) daughters and also the bandmembers have their kids perform here and there too. Jordan used to make so much funny prank videos, like going dressed as santa clause to his local grocery stores in the middle of the night. Or them racing around on the buggies of the crew in the parking lot of their venue. They are all so funny, who can ever hate them? I could only imagine how it would be if in those days we had instagram and stuff, we had no internet then. We as fans had to wait for real time mail, magazines or tv programs to interact, and in todays world, they are active on social media interacting with their fanbase a lot, however Jordan has quit that part mostly for his own private reasons.

They were heavily influenced by New Edition, who is also from Massachusetts. They had the same manager, who put both groups together, and in December for the American Music Awards they performed together.

[@sinjin4563]

Actually New Edition’s manager/ choreographer is and always has been Brooke Payne. Maurice helped discover New Edition by giving them their first record deal to record Candy Girl. That is it. Then they fired Maurice for not getting any money despite touring around the world as kids for a year and then Maurice as a result created the white version nkotb as he knew that model with a white version would make money.

Wow thanks for reacting to NKOTB. These boys were my world when I was a preteen. I went to their concert in 1991 and was 12 years old. You're right, Jordan Knight (lead singer) was the heartthrob. Jordan was my crush. So bad that when he walked up that side ramp at the concert, and pointed at my section, I took it personal and cried. I yelled I Love You Jordan!! I believed he heard me. I guess you can say all the girls in that section did but back then I wasn't focused on them. My 15 year old cousin fixed my long curly hair Tiffany style and I had these long dangling earrings. It was a blast to be so close to the boys that covered my walls from top to bottom(I had all the cards and posters). Jordan was just sexy when he danced. Donnie Wahlberg was the bad boy. My #2 because he always was in the headlines for doing something wrong in public LOL. Donnie Wahlberg crossed over into acting. He even was a singer on the Masked Singer. Yet he never got away from his roots. He still tours with his guys and I think that's just fabulous. We all grew up and our teenage boy band still does shows and cruises for their fans ❤️❤️. Jonathan Knight and Danny Wood seem to have been overlooked back in the day. Joe McIntyre was the youngest. He had that high pitched voice. He was the lead singer of Please Don't Go Girl.

You went down a rabbit hole with this group. They have such a loyal fan base and still tour to this day. I have loved this group since their song please don't go girl. There are so many of their songs you should check out like if you go away, you've got it the right stuff, I'll be loving you forever, please don't go girl, 80s baby, boys in the band, hangin tough, cover girl, this one's for the children, baby I believe in you, tonight, block party, house party, single, games, remix i like the, and their new one bring back the time. My favorite has always been jordan knight he was the one that sang lead on this song. Jordan knight, joe mcentire, and donnie Wahlberg mostly sang leads but there is a few songs that Danny wood and jon knight sing lead. I had a group of girlfriends and each of us liked a different member of this group. We went to any event or concert they was at within about 100 miles of our house. When they split I wished for them to come back and when they did I couldn't wait to go to see them again but now they also do a fan cruise every year that is so much fun they party with a group of their fans. It's funny how these guys used to have to run away and hide from us fans in the 80s and early 90s and now they love to be in a group of us.

NKOTB and New Edition were THE boy bands. I was a Jordan girl myself. They still tour to sold about arenas and cruises. Still put out new music. They are going strong. Check out them and New Wdition on one of the music awards this past year. Amazing. Also, Mark “Marky Mark” Wahlberg was supposed to be in New Kids, but is in this video for Step By Step towards the end.

[@valogden]

They have a song called Boys in the Band they released a few years ago that portrays the history of boy bands They're still releasing new music and had a fun song called House Party during covid lockdown. Mark Wahlberg even appeared in it. Donnie Wahlberg got Mark his break by producing him as Marky Mark.

[@m_waaka]

These guys are my age. I'm 56 years. I grew up being a huge fan of NKOTB. Jordan Knight is sensational. Thanks for sharing your reaction.

[@California8-ms2wk]

P.S. I’m 100% a straight male adult so that right there says a lot about the NKOTB and their musical, dancing, & footwork talent & pure entertainment abilities! Lol

[@foreveralone11w]

Must listen to “Please don’t go girl” That voice… ❤️

[@JayT-1000]

New Edition was the first boy band, but NKOTB was THE first commercially, globally, successful boy band. They were the first in that aspect which lead to the Boy bands you know of. Listen to their comeback album “The Block”, that album is pure fire. 🔥

[@MistyThielemier-si5td]

I was a HUGE fan. My entire room was NKOTB. I had the posters everywhere, merchandise. Comforter sets, The whole thing. They were huge to the girls in our generation. I am 45 so and in generation x.

[@kathyjam2482]

I was a total Blockhead. 😆 They were huge and they still tour. Mark Wahlbergs brother Donnie is in this group.

[@gabrBL82]

Fun facts about NKOTB: Mark Wahlberg is an original member of the band. Brother Donnie is one of the leads on the popular show Blue Bloods. Jordan and Jonathan Knight are brothers. Joey McEntyre was 12 yrs old when he joined the band, the other bouts were 17-19. His lead on "Please Don't Go Girl" was one of their biggest hits.

[@thatdamelana]

Maurice Starr discovered New Edition and wanted a white version and formed New Kids On the Block. Both bands are from Boston and they are currently on tour together. New Kids have many good songs. They had a cartoon, New Kids rocked and still do. New Edition was definitely the blueprint for boy bands in the 80s. New Editon's name meant, new edition, of the originals, The Jackson 5. More New Kids, Hangin' Tough is a great song.

[@urfuturexgurlfriend]

I been enjoying your videos for a few hours now. My first comment. That pretty boy lead singer is Jordan Knight and he was my favorite. Yes they were the Backstreet Boys for Generation X. I cried at their concert the way little girls use to cry at Bieber shows. My wall had posters from the floor to the ceiling plus all their cards. You could not even see the wall. Good memories for me being 12 years old believing an older teenage celebrity was the boy of my dreams 🤣🤣😍😍. Thanks for the memory

[@amygoff9542]

NKOTB fan from the beginning 🤖💚🧡💛💙❤️ Thank you to reacting to them. Some more recent songs are Boys in the Band, 80's Baby, House Party, Summertime, 2 in the Morning. Love all of their songs!!! 5 fun loving guys!!! New Edition came first and then NKOTB - without those 2, there wouldn't be any more boy bands.

[@California8-ms2wk]

New Kids On The Block (Nkotb) are the most popular boy band ever (excluding the Beatles) since they are still successfully touring in the USA & around the world and they still have millions of fans. Go see a NKOTB live concert, definitely worth the price of admission. They’re in their early 50’s now but still are able to perform great wirh cool dancing & footwork, their live vocals are awesome, and their concerts are a lot of fun and they have an excellent music catalog so you can’t go wrong! Plus, seeing the NKOTB in action makes for a great night and a very memorable concert that you will always remember. I’ve been to many concerts of different genres and NKOTB are at the top of my list for outstanding live performance and overall entertainment!

[@occasionaltripping747]

I loved - ok, who am I kidding - still love them so much😍 They we’re huge. My fave new kid was Jordan (the “lead” singer y’all were talking about.) His falsetto on “I’ll be loving you” still makes me swoon🥰 Check out “You got it (the Right Stuff) and “Hanging Tough” in addition to their slow songs.

[@tracygalley8713]

Loved loved loved NKOTB when I was a kid I had posters,pins and t-shirts!!

[@Tank4Life]

NKOTB have a number of hits, that you'll enjoy. I'll Be Loving You Forever is a must listen. These guys are still performing today.

[@TheRealSubourbonMermaid]

OMG!!! They were MY WHOLE LIFE! I had the cassettes, the VHS cassettes of them on tour, the dolls, the board game, the pins, the shirts, the slippers, the pillowcase, the trading cards, posters, endless issues of Tiger Beat/Bop/Big Bopper magazines, watched their cartoon every Saturday morning, and screamed from my couch while watching them on Arsineo Hall and Oprah. I finally got to see them in concert by the ripe old age of 7, at Dodger Stadium in the Fall of 1990. My favorite was Danny Wood, the muscle man lifting weights. I used to get so much crap for liking him, lol he was always called "horse face" or "monkey man" because of his jaw and strong features. Jordan, the lead singer, was a total star! He had the same magnetism as Freddie Mercury, just a total performer...and the girls went CRAZY for it. Man, I hope you guys review more of this incredibly talented group that used to be known as "the hardest working kids in show business".

[@tinakelley7018]

The Osmonds we're considered boy band in the 1970s. They had there own T V show, magazine,cartoon show., Own line of clothes ,lunch boxes, ect. You need to do one song in concert to watch them dance!

[@chrisoakley5830]

Yes some on here saying these guys were the original boy band but the Osmonds were way before NKOTB.

[@Lab-Rat]

“Sweet and Innocent” The girls went crazy for that one

[@anikadiamond007]

The Jacksons were before them.

[@noaguardopaulo2623]

This song was a big success in Brazil in 1990. My favorite boy band at the time!

[@562goodguy]

You've got to do New Edition next "If It Isn't Love" was a jam too. Awesome video too.

[@joseesparza7488]

And super down to earth all of them!

[@ComicPhreak]

5:25 Girl, the first boyband were the Jackson 5ive! Then it was New Edition because they were the new edition of J5, then NKOTB came and the rest is history.

[@chrisoakley5830]

Don't forget the Osmonds.

[@mikep6222]

The Jackson 5 had talent.

[@gizmokat8321]

Technically the OG barber shop quartets were the first boy bands... I mean if you really think about it.

[@LilFireFox]

I'm SO GLAD you loved this! My sister is 6 years older then I, so she was 12-13 when this group first came out. So I was about 6-7. And I would take her cassette tapes and listen to them whenever I could! I'm 40 now and I'm still a Block Head. My fav then and now is STILL Jordan. (FYI the Lead Singer you liked so much IS Jordan. And he's just as hot now as he was then!)

[@pjb3583]

Fun fact: you can see future Hollywood star Mark Wahlberg holding a green basketball in a clip in the video because big brother Donnie was the big star in the family - at that point, anyway. Love your reaction and your fondness for boy bands! Peace from Ohio …

[@Z-LightfulMemories]

I was just a little too 'old" for this one. They were on the air as I was getting ready for college, so didn't listen to them, but my parents fostered and one of the girls they had was a HUGE fan and kept me in the loop, lol.

I was 14 when New Kids stole my heart. I saw them on MTV. Step by Step is my fav NKOTB album and song. I went to their concert in Oslo in 1991. This was my first real concert. It was crazy. All the girls screaming so I hardly could hear any music! I had a big crush on Joey McIntyre. I kissed him (on the poster) every night. My room was full of NKOTB posters and pics. I dreamed of meeting them. In 2012 they did a joined tour with BSB. They came to Norway my country. I had a backstage pass. I got to meet them! That was fan-tasic! The concert was awesome. This night made me a die hard BSB fan. Since then I have been to several BSB shows, four meet and greets including a BSB European cruise.

[@grecofit]

you MUST do The Right Stuff 🔥🔥🔥 oh and Mark Wahlberg's brother Donnie is in there! The FIRST Boy Band is without a doubt The Jackson Five ❤

[@CatninjaNL]

I went to see them as a teenager and then again a few years ago when they toured the Netherlands again for the memories. Was not expecting them to still have that same energy and appeal to me, their music is just really feel good postive music, I think that was also the reason my parents let me go to their concert at the time. You can imagine falling in love when watching this song as a teenager haha, love your reaction so much!

[@AnnaMaria-zm8cv]

My parents didnt allow me to go, man I even bought a ticket all by myself but they just didnt let me go alone. I was so mad.... Now I moved to Iceland and chance they will ever perform here is so slim, despite more and more major bands come to our tiny island to perform, Im just not sure if they want to put effort in it to come here. We people here love it if foreign artists perform, its always garanteed sold out. Just because we always have to go to UK or Netherlands to see a concert from big artists. Well its put on my bucketlist to one day attent a Fenway concert, once US allows me to enter their country again.

[@lscsdesign9685]

This hit the right spot for me!!! 🙌 I was a Jordan Knight girl, and this was my first ever boy band I grew up watching when I was 12... what a trip down memory lane 🤩

STILL ❤ nkotb since 89!! 💯 FOREVER!

[@MorrisB1971]

Please do more NKOTB. Sooooo many hits

[@marepoet5161]

I was huge into Jordan (lead) & also Joey, the youngest one. New Kids was my first concert ever (‘89 I think). We were all obsessed.

[@Jahani31]

New Edition was before New Kids and made the blueprint for them, literally. I would suggest listening to them as well. I recommend If It Isn't Love, or Can You Stand The Rain. They also have stuff from when they were younger like Candy Girl. Definitely worth a watch. All the members of New Edition also went on to have successful solo careers, from Bobby Brown to Bell Biv Devoe. Definitely a super group.

[@daniellelorraine]

I’m 50, and I have loved these guys since I was in 8th grade. They are still touring and playing sold out shows w/Paula Abdul, TLC, Nelly, EnVogue, Backstreet Boys, Salt & Peppa and more! They have a NKOTB cruise…you gotta check out more!!! “Please Don’t Go Girl” and “The Right Stuff” started it off for me. I first went to see them in Chicago at a small club called 13 colonies. I’ve been in love ever since! 😂❤

Last year NKOTB did a performance with New Edition at the American Music Awards that was insane. Please Please Please react to that. It is on KZbin.

I was so in love with NKOTB at 12 yrs old. We all were. HUGE HUGE HUGE following. They were my first concert in 1990 in Miami FL. Jordan Knight is the lead singer. Joey was my favorite 😍

[@ebenclukey7293]

These guys were rollin' in money back in the day. I was playing in a popular Boston club band at the time. These guys are from Boston. Their producer/writer was Maurice Star. He was a friend of a couple guys in my band and would sit in with us when we played a club near his house. New Kids had just played the Boston Garden a few nights before and Mo mentioned that they sold over a quarter million dollars worth of T-Shirts at one show.

My daughters played a vhs almost all day. Oh how I love their music! Christmas was New Kids On The Block bedspreads, dolls, they even had a NKOTB fashion plates. I thank them for a clean and cool band for my kids to grow up with. One daughter had a crush on Danny, one on Jordon! Me on all of them. You can see Donny Walberg on many TV shows.. Blue Bloods,.Rizzoli and Isles, he show up everywhere! (He's the dude on the motorcycle)

NKTOB opened the 90's with this smash hit that went to #1 and paved the way for Backstreet Boys and NSYNC

[@annattaquiros3712]

They were the boy band of my time. So much memorabilia I still had until recently. clothes, sheets, posters, pins. You name it i had it. My favorite was Jonathan, he was the quiet shy one like me. A couple of other great songs by them are Cover Girl, Please Don't Go Girl, Tonight. I look forward to you guys taking the NKOTB journey.

[@chynne33]

I was OBSESSED with nkotb in the late 80's/ early 90's. I never saw them in concert though. Had a chance to see them at the Ohio State fair one year with a friend and my sister and her husband. On the way there, one of the tires blew on my BIL's car, so we never made it. But the concert made it on the news that night because all these people were getting crushed against the fences because so many people tried to get in. Guess I had a guardian angel that day

[@gizmokat8321]

I will be 39 this year and has been an nkotb fan since the late 80s and love all 90s 2000s "boybands" too. They are a magical thing.
