the Back Street Boys attempted a comeback, maybe 2 years ago & ticket sales were feeble to the point they started offering buy 2, get 2 free. It was kinda sad :( the thing with groups like these is their fans were pre-teens, Jr. high school girls & high schoolers & that original base still holds some loyalty, & would like to see them but most have grown up & probably don't listen to their music anymore as opposed to other groups that won the hearts of their young fans & those fans continue to listen to them on a regular basis, 40 years later. Of course this is my own opinion, based on years of NO research. ;D by the way, I'm doing some research now & wonder when's the last time someone here listened to a NKOTB cd?

It's apparently not true. That makes me sad.
This is a part of a bulletin that Danny Wood sent out on his MySpace:
Hello to everyone. Hope all is well and everyone is enjoying the New Year. I wanted to address the rumors of the NKOTB Reunion Tour. There has been no talk of this and you are getting it from source directly.
:\'(
Don't give up so fast! It still might be true. Here is a snippet of what E News had to say.
"The band's official Website, www.nkotb.com, is, after a long period of dormancy, once again up and running and imploring fans to keep hanging tough for a forthcoming announcement."
My oldest daughter is excited like you and Erin. I took her and a friend to see them way back when, and it would be fun to go with her to see them again. So, you never know, Rice may be taking you too! I'm sure he's thrilled! ;D

When "Incomplete" bombed (relatively speaking, compared to their other stuff) in 2005 I think that was a sign that the Backstreet Boys (and the late '90s in general) were getting dated and past their prime.
As for fanbases "growing up" that's true to a point, although it depends on the person. Just personally I still like the same music I did growing up in the '80s and early-mid '90s, I've just added more to it along the way. I've heard those songs fifty million times and I still love them.
P.S. I wouldn't be so quick to say that people haven't listened to New Kids since their 1990ish peak.
Like I said, I was never a major fan, but they have a couple fluffy catchy songs that I've listened to since then. Just because something was popular in a given year doesn't mean that's the only time people listen to it. Too many people forget that you can become exposed to things "after the fact" - from reruns, the radio, or just by being around other people who are fans - like going through your friend or your parents' collection.

well Jess, I can't just give you one of my usual one word posts in reply. :) I do like early BSB, & N'SYNC too, but just the big early hits. My daughter has a couple of their CDs. I never gave NKOTB much of a chance, but I think their videos were played a lot on MTV. As for fanbases growing up, I'm probably saying that from observing my daughter & her friends with the music they used to listen to. They don't seem to be into that music anymore, but then again, they may still listen to those boy bands & pop stars & I just don't know it. One thing about these groups is that they seemed to be good dancers (except kevin of BSB) & had fun choreography. You make a valid point about people becoming fans after the fact which applies to tv & movies as well as music. I remember when Seinfeld came out & all my friends were raving & I wasn't interested & then about 2 years after it had been on, I watched & became a fan. I do try to get Julie to listen to classic rock on the radio or on CDs when we go on vacation or if one of my songs comes on the radio & my daughter doesn't ask me to change it, I'm happy to see her listen to dad's music. So based on what I'm reading on this thread, there are still a few die hard fans of New Kids On The Block. I think at least 3 of the lads have kids, maybe New Dads On The Block? nah 8-P

Good point Mike, yeah people can get burned out on anything. I guess when you get REALLY into something so hardcore, that's bound to happen eventually lol. You might've said so but I forget, is Julie like 17ish now? I can see why she'd be a little like "ewww I listened to that?" in reference to something from when she was 10. Most kids probably grow out of things, I guess I just never much did because my tastes developed so early.
I think I got exposed to it three or four different ways.
My mom especially was a really big music listener back then, and often had the radio on and bought tapes. I think that's one reason I sorta always attached myself to songs from like 1981 to '85 or so. I'm too young to recall that as it actually happened, but I always heard that growing up, so it was always "a part of me" if you know what I mean. ;)
This was mostly poppy stuff...Huey Lewis, Prince, Tears For Fears, Lionel Richie, Phil Collins, Jackson Browne, Whitney, "Jump" by Van Halen, Hall and Oates, The Cars, Tom Petty and like that.
Now, the older stuff I got into more from my dad - like Motown, certain classic rock and other stuff from the '50s and '60s. Although he likes quite a few '80s songs too (usually the softer or more old-school ones...like "Walk of Life").
I also would just kinda hear things playing out in public, or when I was a little older I heard what my babysitters listened to. When I was 9, I got really hooked on VH1 too. Of course now my main way of discovering things is from the Internet or word of mouth. I'll basically give anything a chance, even if I'm mainly an easygoing pop/rock guy. Ballads are great too.

I don't give everything a chance, it's just something about me, i don't like change or new music or tv shows, but once in awhile I let the walls down and try something new or at least some music I could have listened to years earlier but didn't and when i finally do, I find out I love it.

I think that's what I'm also seeing here is that people aren't ashamed to admit they like the NKOTB. it's like Revenge Of The Nerds at the end of the movie, once one person came forward and admitted they were a nerd, many many more followed and said they were too. all you NKOTB fans need to come forward. this is your chance ;D

Yeah that makes sense, her first little kid memories are probably from the early-mid '90s, just like mine were from the mid-late '80s. So it would make sense for her music taste to start around there. You said she likes a few bursts of classic rock though too, right? That's how it worked with me, just being around some of the older stuff my dad played (i.e. Motown songs, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Peter Paul and Mary, The Doors) kinda made it rub off on me too.
Even though I'm open-minded, I think I started getting a little resistant to change once I was in high school in the late '90s. By then, my tastes were just already set in stone and I was comfortable. I do like new stuff too, although it tends to be stuff that reminds me a bit of what I grew up with.
Actually that's true, isn't it? I guess more people feel the pressure come off of them to admit something about themselves, if someone else admits it first! For the record, I'm a geek in every non-discriminating sense of the word, and proud of it too. ;D

I'm really not into New Kids On The Block but I did like "Give It To You" by NKOTB member Jordan Kinight back in 1999. I still like "Give It To You". I did like Joey McIntyre's hit song "Stay The Same" in 1999 too. "Stay The Same" didn;t sound like NKOTB at all it was more of a A/C ballad.
As for New Kids On the Block coming back there is really not a market for R&B groups or boy bands like there were in the 80's and 90's.

I liked a couple of NKOTB songs ("Please Don't Go Girl" and "You Got It (The Right Stuff)") but I wasn't a fanatic like a lot of my friends and peers were between 1988 and 1990.
I remember going to Spencer's at the mall during NKOTB's peak, and they had NKOTB merchandise (t-shirts, buttons, keychains, etc...) practically all over the store.

Oh...and WHEN they do tour....we should SO go together..that would be SO fun! I STILL have all of my buttons/shirts/trading cards/etc/etc too!!! :) We can rock them out...NEW KIDS STYLE!!! ;D :D :D
do you have this button Erin? and look how young they are. my gosh, they were only kids. :o

OMG..that's right, I almost forgot about that!! ;D I love how it is in black & white...and how they perform in that old abandoned theatre.
One of the main reasons why I also like the video .. "Black and White" music videos are my all-time favourite

I'm really not into New Kids On The Block but I did like "Give It To You" by NKOTB member Jordan Kinight back in 1999. I still like "Give It To You". I did like Joey McIntyre's hit song "Stay The Same" in 1999 too. "Stay The Same" didn;t sound like NKOTB at all it was more of a A/C ballad.
As for New Kids On the Block coming back there is really not a market for R&B groups or boy bands like there were in the 80's and 90's.
Jordan Knight had a moderate hit in 2006 with "Say Goodbye", a duet with the underrated pop singer/songwriter Deborah Gibson that only got little airplay and peaked at #24 in the AC charts.

I actually like that song...I bought his album mainly for that song, and his cover of the song, Drive.

I also like the song, though posted a few threads...but ended up getting trashed by immature/rude comments and wannabe music critics >:( :P
The only song I can tolerate is "You Got It (The Right Stuff)", though I prefer New Edition better. 8)
I vaugely remember the cartoon. ::)

My daughter signed up for email updates on the NKOTB website and she got an email telling her the site had been updated. Now they are showing videos of news broadcasts telling of their reunion.

Since it debuted in the Top 20, I predict it will drop from there. It's quite rare over here for a song to debut that high

The same formula for the UK Charts, but to reach #17 is still an achievement.

It is yes. For a group that's been out of the spotlight for over 14 years, they've done very well

As much as I love NKOTB...I'm kind of NOT digging their new song too much. :-\\

An inbetween record, I may have heard it but not knowing it was the record concern.
