The NKOTB concert this past Friday turned me into an 11 year old girl again. I screamed, I swooned and I sang along to all of the old songs. It was possibly heaven on earth.

The boys opened up the show with their latest hit, Single, which was soon followed by some New Kids classics. I have to say that the boys certainly still know how to perform. I was entertained throughout the entire concert. Their dance moves are still top form, although they have toned it down a bit from their early days. It seemed that Jordan and Joey did most of the singing, followed by Donnie. Danny and Jon held back and let the others steal the show. The worst part of the show was when they held a photo contest after their Click Click Click number. It was just lame and a waste of time. I tuned out. They need to switch that up. Favourites - Tonight, Step by Step and Summertime (yes, the new song)

Yes, I still have a soft spot for each of the boys. I had forgotten how hot Jordan Knight is… did anyone else need to change their panties after his solo of Baby I Believe In You where he crooned in front of the wind machine in an open white shirt? Wow. Hot. I was even attracted to Danny Wood when he busted out some breakdancing. Surprised? I was. He was always a bit of a monkey boy. Joey’s still hot but, as we later found out after the concert, he’s a bit of a diva. Someone should tell him that there are five members in the group, not one. Jon Knight, the shy and quiet New Kid, has grown into a very handsome man with some fabulous arms. And then there’s Donnie Walhberg… still a bad boy.

The crowd at the concert was an odd mix of females. Mainly over the age of 25 but there were definitely some youngsters in the group… possibly just there to see Lady GaGa. I can’t imagine the girls under 25 would remember the New Kids in their prime. The clothes that the girls wore were just as terrible as the outfits at the Madonna concert. Think neon, leg warmers and tight everything. Girls wearing short skirts and tight tops who really shouldn’t be wearing those things - they really need to learn to dress for their figures. I actually cringed.

NKOTB couldn’t have picked a better time for a comeback. I enjoyed their new songs and their old. It was an excellent concert… perhaps even on the same level as Madonna. But I must say, the best part was hanging out with the boys post concert. Can we say dream come true?
