Today's Evil Beet Gossip

The Golden Oldies

New Kids on the Block performed “Step by Step” and “The Right Stuff” on The Today Show this morning, dance moves and all.

OMG.

Awful, awful, awful.

I’m so embarrassed for them.

  • Because there’s nothing more “gansta” than The Right Stuff. I made it through about forty seconds of that video before I shut the shit off.

  • haha, look at the audience.
    noone is younger than 26 (or so) and they’re screaming like 14-year olds

  • Oh my God. I had to call my husband in for that one. You said it best, I’m embarrassed for them as well. They are grown men.

  • i disagree…i thought this was cool AND a good business decision…they can make tons of money with a reunion tour…they are secure enough to do this and are not taking themselves to seriously…u watch..

  • embarrassing!!!!!!! oh my god they at least should have come out with some new moves/songs! that is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo old and way too young for the growing bald um(Donnie Wahlberg) crowd! (mind you I love Donnie and his great career since NKOTB)

  • First off – Please Don’t Go Girl sounded much better before Joey went through puberty and got all ‘man-voice’. Now it just sounds whiney instead of cute.

    Second – ew. Those songs were all kinds of adorable in the 90s (where they belonged) when the guys were young, now they sound weird being that the guys are all 40-year-old-gross.

  • No one said this wasn’t a wise business decision, they’ll probably make a mint. But it’s embarrassing to watch grown men sing those songs. They sucked then, they suck even more now.

  • Ok, I don’t really know who they are or anything, but blondie on the right is gonna be one of those guys who will stay forever young. He’s probably like 30 something ish-maybe 40, but he managed to turn me on a little with his adorableness. Here comes the next George Clooney.

  • i hope when i’m 40+ the backstreet boys come back, kevin and all
    i’ll take my kids to that show

    better than this awkwardness i pray

  • Come on people – we’re talking about the Today show “concert”. They never sound good.

    I still loved it. It wouldn’t be NKOTB without all the old stuff.

  • Oh that is terrible. Didnt anyone hear Jordan sing before they got the OK to go back out in public?

  • And this is why you should save your money, so you won’t fucken have to do shit like this when you get older. So sad.

  • my face turned red in embarrassment just watching this – and i wasn’t even on stage!

    NO! NOT THE WAHLBERG! NEVER THE WAHLBERG!

  • thanx for that Beet……my pooch accidently heard ‘this’ and now she won`t stop howling !!! (and not in a good way!)

  • Sad As Fuck. Give it up you or at least revamp things so you’re not doing those wanky dance moves – look like geriatrics!

  • I love them and intend to follow them to every stop on their reunion tour and scream like a little girl.

    I love that both Wahlbergs (Donnie AND Marky Mark) were punchlines for awhile, after white boy rap went out of vogue. Surprise, motherbitches! They’re two of the greatest actors alive!
