Were the New Kids on the Block Always Such Bad Singers?

Posted by Emily Farris

Don't get us wrong; we love the New Kids on the Block. Always have, always will. They could be terrible singers and we'd still kiss our Joey McIntyre poster every night before bed (obviously). And maybe it's not so much that they're bad singers, but that they're just getting old, and it probably gets harder every year to jump around and sing at the same time.

But we had a tough time watching this Friday's Today Show clip in which the NKOTB performed a medley of their top hits from the early 90's. We were kind-of worried one might have a heart attack, by the way they were breathing. Maybe they're just out of practice, and we have to hand it to them: all five of the New Kids on the Block are still alive and none of them are fat. And as far as we recall, none have been incarcerated. Pretty good return rate, no?  

Though might we suggest cutting the dancing to focus on the singing next time around?
