Potent Quotables: New Kids Talk Big Game

"It's going to be like Cirque du Steamy Nights!"--Jordan Knight

The 37-year-old made "sexy" promises about the New Kids on the Block reunion tour. Donnie Wahlberg added, "We're not old guys -- we're not, like, in boy-band boot camp." OK.

NKOTB wtf!at 5-16-2008

I saw them on Today. They didn't sound that great. The only one that sounded decent was Joey. I noticed that Jon stayed in the background. I wonder how they convinced him to do it. Everyone saw on Oprah what a whack job he is with his performance anxiety. Well, I guess whack job is a little harsh, but nevertheless I bet he was wearing a diaper... ha ha

I am glad they are back. I feel bad for Jon, it took alot for him to step up and take one for the team, even if he has performance anxiety at least he is doing it, and that is all that matters. I hope everyone just gives them a chance instead of just trying to bring them all down. I wish them the best of luck, and WELCOME BACK!

patat 5-16-2008

still silly to see these guys much older now acting as if nothing has changed in 15 years. To stay ahead of the game they are going to have to re-invent themselves; not try pretending theyre still teenagers when they are now well into their 30's. If they don't, they'll become laughing stocks.

Yeah, they should call themselves 'OLDER BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK GUYS', and also 'BOYZ 2 MEN' should change to 'MEN 2 GEEZERS' lol!

I didn't think they were that great on the Today show either. Maybe they'll shape up a little more before they start their tour. Did anyone else see Donnie throw that woman's hand off of him?
