NEW KIDS ON THE BLOG: NKOTB // TLC // NELLY CONCERT RECAP


When I heard New Kids On The Block (NKOTB) was touring I freaked out!  I mean… no offense but they’re like 40 and this opportunity doesn’t come everyday.  Aside from being the first cassette tape I had of a boy band and Joey being my first boy band crush I knew without a doubt I was going to that concert.  Not only was I going but I was going to sit in the front row!  

   

 


NKOTB is my abs fav but to throw it back even more Nelly and TLC (well TC RIP Left Eye) were joining the tour.  You know who loves TLC and Nelly 90s jams more than me?  No one!  I used to make up choreograph dance routines with my friends to their songs and perform them in my living room for my mom.  #secrets I know y’all probably did the same thing.  Waterfalls, creep, what about your friends…. all amazing!  Nelly… country grammar…. I mean the hits just keep coming.  
 



 


The concert was amazing!  Nelly killed it!  TLC owned the stage and I’m not sure whats in those waterfalls but they look the exact same 20 years later.  CRAZY! SEXY! COOL!  (sorry I had to… haha)  NKOTB on the other hand… yes I love love loved them back in the day and understandably so, but things have changed.  The vocals weren’t quite there and the pelvic hip thrust on a 40 year old body (although they’ve been working out) just aren’t the same.    Sorry guys.  Granted they seemed to be cutting up, laughing, and smiling the entire time.  I think in their head they were thinking OMG I can’t believe we’re doing this boy band stuff at 40.  I mean they’ve all (for the most part) gone on to do other things.  I just got the feeling that this was a joke and they felt stupid.  My friends even wanted to leave a little early.  Sad day.  But all and all totally worth it.  Spoiler alert: if you guys hang tough and stay until the end the guys even come in the crowd step by step for some close up action and they’re gonna get to you giiiiirrrrlllll! (see what I did there) haha
