Screaming Like a 12 Year Old for NKOTBSB!

In case you've been living under a media rock today, you missed the world premiere of the new NKOTBSB song! I've only listened to the Itunes clip (yeah, a clip- because right now its only available in iTunes Canada, and Youtube)

I can't even describe the amazingness of this song- Bryan, Joey, Jordan, Nick and all our other buddies (AJ, Howie, Jonathan, Donnie, and Danny) are rocking this song. It's a combination of BSB's more recent club-like R&B/pop mix songs like "Bye Bye Love" and "Straight Through My Heart" and NKOTB's "Lights, Camera, Action" and "Put It On My Tab" (minus Akon).

I love Nick's line, "You're gonna see its empty without me in your bed, baby you'll change your mind!" When it comes to US iTunes tomorrow, it's going on constant repeat. While I've been writing this post, I've easily listened to it about 5 times in a row.

In the meantime, enjoy the Joey McIntyre photo show on the Youtube video. Yum!

I can't wait to see them live this summer! Even though they had to cancel our concert and bump it to late July, which is really not cool. But in the meantime, I can entertain myself with my signed Nick carter CD, and my fond memories of closing down Times Square in '01 for BSB's perfomance on TRL and waiting at Macy's all day to see NKOTB three years ago.

A Note About More NKOTBSB NEWS!

As we enter day 5 (I'm counting from the day BSB appeared on OPRAH last week- by the way, a thank you to my DVR for totally messing up the disc that was recording on) of NKOTBSB mania, I really could not be more excited! NKOTBSB now have a website (another place to share my mania with others!) I repeat, I could not be more ready for their upcoming US tour dates at the beginning of next summer! I hope they will make a music video so I can watch it ten million times on Youtube! Oh wait, they did! The promotion video on their homepage is adorable, AND they're on twitter! Ok, I've gotten over my 11-year-old moment.

Further exciting news, KEVIN RICHARDSON was back with the boys on OPRAH! Back to being 11. Oh well, it was worth a shot.

A Note About NKOTBSB

Long before I heard the opening strains of the Backstreet Boys singing "Quit Playing Games With My Heart," I was a NKOTB fan. Their heyday kinda passed me by, with their major hits happening when I was born and in my early toddler years. But on my sixth birthday, a much cooler and older friend, she was nine, gave me a New Kids On The Block doll. Joey McIntyre, who wore a different outfit than the one linked here, to this day lives in my basement and enjoyed many happy years singing for my barbies.

Flash forward to middle school , where I was a die-hard (and am still to this day), of Backstreet Boys. The gold records, the VMA performances, AJ's trip to rehab, I know all about it. And I love and embrace it.

I remember all the countless viewings of "All Access," "A Night Out With the Backstreet Boys,"and "Homecoming Live in Orlando" on VHS. I've only seen them in concert two times before (2001-Black and Blue Tour, and 2005- Never Gone Tour) and now this coming August makes a long-awaited third concert.

Now skip forward another ten years. NKOTB are back, and better than ever. Their summer 2009 tour was one of the best shows I've seen. And BSB are back and going strong minus Kevin, and dancing as well, or better, than they did in 1999.

So imagine my delight and surprise when I came across this video from last night's NKOTB concert at Radio City Music Hall. BSB and NKOTB singing "I Want It That Way" together! Beautiful, and kind of a full-circle boy band love.
