NKOTB Reunite!

As a young girl I had dozens of friends that went crazy over New Kids on the Block...the precursor to N*Sync and Backstreet Boys. NKOTB were cool, they could sing and dance, and the songs were so much fun. I would spend hours dancing around my house to "Step by Step". We danced to their songs in dance class and listened to them on the playground at school. Well, according to CNN NKOTB are making a comeback.

In the article it says, "They may be pushing 40, but the New Kids are returning to the block. The boy band New Kids on the Block, which sold 70 million albums in the 1980s and early '90s, has reunited and plans to release a new album and go on tour. The reunion comes 20 years after the release of the group's multiplatinum album, 'Hangin' Tough.'"

The article also reports that, "Wahlberg said he was persuaded to get back together with his former bandmates -- Joey McIntyre, brothers Jordan and Jonathan Knight and Danny Wood -- when they decided to record new music. Wahlberg said he wrote 80 percent of the new material with McIntyre and Jordan Knight."I had no interest going out on a nostalgia tour and singing the same material," said Wahlberg, 38. But he added: "We absolutely will do the old songs for sure."

New songs, a tour, a new website. How fun. In a blog from yesterday posted by Joey McIntyre (Joey Mac) he says, "We happen to have a great time doing what we do. “Its like a constant cyclical interchange of emotions”…One fueling the other - The love for each other and the love for the game. 5 players never forgetting where they came from but knowing they could go all the way to the top. Nothings changed; every thing’s changed. Long live The Block!" I don't know about anyone else but I'm excited.

Totally.
