NKOTB New Single Summertime
The New Kids on the Block have reunited and have released their first single since their break up back in the early 90’s. It has been more than 15 years since they performed live together and it just makes me so happy to hear they want to get back together at least for a little while.
This has been a great couple of years for me. I am a big fan of the Police. They reunited, Tina Turner is back on tour, George Michael is back on tour, and now the New Kids on the Block are returning. I am so glad I can go out to see some of the best entertainers in concert again. If you notice there aren’t many great entertainers out there anymore. I stopped going to concerts since many artists don’t seem to have a talent for connecting with their audience, but those that stick around and make a smashing comeback years later only goes to show how great they really were.
The New Kids are no longer kids. They are grown men which makes it very interesting to watch them perform now. They were on the today show and decided to pull in women to dance in the background. That was a bad mistake. They don’t need to do this. Their main audience are going to be women and they always perform to them which is what they did on the Today Show. The half dressed background dancers are completely uncomfortably misplaced. I didn’t enjoy watching these girls dancing and felt that they were thrown up there to fill in space. The New Kids will do just fine without them since they proved they can still entertain. Of course there are about two of them that are very average singers which is why they will put Joey McIntyre and Jordan Knight on front vocals, but they know what to do with a crowd.
I look forward to seeing NKOTB in concert around Dallas or anywhere close by. I look forward to hearing their newly released single, “Summertime” on the radio. It is a song that matches their style yet it is a tune that matches 2008 as well. I do think it will definitely put them back on the block and make them a solid return. I look forward to being able to hear the entire album. Look for them in your neighborhood since they are planning out their touring schedule and adding new dates. Right now they scheduled dates in a few northern states. This is turning out to be a great summertime already.
