Excuse me while I interrupt my regularly scheduled credible music news postings to shriek like a possessed schoolgirl, circa 1991. Sorry. New Kids On The Block are reportedly reuniting and I’m about to bust out my NKOTB pink bedspread in celebration any second now.
Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, Jordan and Jonathan Knight and Danny Wood – in order of who was cutest, of course – are rumored to be getting back together, according to a source speaking to People magazine. I think it's sad in itself that I still remember all of their names without having to look it up.
The source says to expect an announcement within the next few weeks plus their official website, which hasn’t been running in years, is back up with just a slot to input your email address to sign up for the newsletter. And if you must ask, yes I did.
Too bad my stereo has been replaced with iTunes and my car not equipped with a cassette player, otherwise I’d be shoveling through storage for my NKOTB tapes faster than you could say “Please Don’t Go Girl.”

I am taken back to the days when I carried their lunch box to school, with my pony tail on the side of my head. I am secretly excited, and can't help but quietly sing their songs in my head at my office. I do still have their tapes and CD's, I can't wait to see what is now. Hang Tough!!!
OMG! If i could FIT into my JOE Tshirt i would be WEARING it TO SCHOOL today! just like i did back in the day! Dont Care what ppl would Say or THINK...just like back in the day!<3 Love My Joe...Always Have ALWAYS will! <3 :-)
Let me go one further than that--I'm about to play the New Kids on the Block's Greatest Hits CD that came out in 1999! They were a good pop group that got better with each album. I was more into their music than the floods of merchandise and T-shirts. When I first heard Please Don't Go Girl, I thought, they wouldn't last a year with that somewhat gooey ballad. But when The Right Stuff, I'll Be Loving You, Hangin' Tough, Step By Step and more sturdier songs by them came out later, all that changed and I was later hooked to their harmonies and sounds! Few groups can have 9 top 10 hits in 2 years (1988-1990) like they did! Face the Music deserved better back in 1994. I hope that this reunion is successful and a tour does take place! I think that they can still rock it in their late 30s like they did in their early 20s! They have some surprises and some funky sounds ready for us!!!!
