Madonna, Michael Jackson, Timbaland, New Edition...
The Mirror -lehden (11.7.2008 artikkelin) mukaan NKOTB tekee seuraavaksi yhteistyötä Timbalandin kanssa ja haaveilee Madonnan kanssa työskentelystä.
The Mirror -artikkeli 11.7.2008 'New Kids On The Block want to work with Madonna':
"Not content with having Michael Jackson lined up for their big comeback, soon Madonna could be part of New Kids On The Block's return, too.
The band - who had hits in the late 80s with Hangin' Tough and You Got It (The Right Stuff) - are all set to work with Timbaland next week and hope the superproducer will pull some strings to get the Queen of Pop on board for their album, out in September.
NKOTB's Joey McIntyre revealed: "It's so exciting. We loved what Timbaland did with Madonna's 4 Minutes and can't wait to see what he has in store for us."
Jordan Knight added: "I know he's putting in a good word for us to have Madonna on the album. It's looking good. Fingers crossed!"
With Jacko and Madge both 50 next month, perhaps "New Kids" should seriously consider a name change..."
Syksyllä ilmestyvällä NKOTB levyllä on mukana seuraavanlaisia kappaleita:
- Click Click Click
- Summertime
- You Got My Heart
- Full Service (feat. New Edition)
- Looking Like Danger
- Big Boy/Big Girl" (feat. Lady GaGa)
- Sexify My Love
- Two in The Morning
- Single
- Dirty Dancing
Sekä ilmeisesti Close to you sekä I'll stay -nimiset kappaleet.
Summertime and less time for updates
Huomasin muuten, että tästä blogista on lähemmin muotoutunut NKOTB-uutisblogi kuin varsinaisesti sellainen fanikertomusblogi, mitä aluksi ajattelin... mutta ei kai sillä väliä. Pääasia, että täällä puhutaan nyykkäreistä =)
Uutisia, videoita, haastatteluja ja huhuja olisi nyt vaikka millä mitalla, kun New kidsit ovat olleet kuluvan viikon Saksassa. Ai miksi? ... annetaan Donnien selittää blogissaan nkotb.comissa:
"Hello from Germany!
Hey All-
Here in Germany!
Fans are awesome!
Weather is cold!
Album almost done!
Tour approaching fast!
Second “SINGLE” not far away!! (But keep pushing Summertime at your favorite stations til then).
We shot a cameo in a movie by Til Scweiger, who is a huge star here, and it was really funny!
I hope you get to see it someday. Til is the biggest and best of Germany and he is a hell of a nice guy to do this with us!
Oh yeah- if you doubt my word…
Ask the fans here in Germany! They can’t get rid of me! In fact, they can’t get rid of any of us!!!Good times!
Much Love,
=donnie w"
Muutamia haastatteluja Saksan maalta:

Blogheads from Boston
Dannyn blogikirjoitus 18.6.2008 New blog from Danny:
"Wow!!!! We just did The MuchMusic Video awards in Toronto. The show went off without a hitch, in the rain again. The slippery stage was almost irrelevant and the crowd reaction was awesome. The fan support has been so unbelievable and I am so grateful. At every turn on this ride, new and amazing things are happening. Most of all, the fun we are having is beyond anything I anticipated. Every aspect of what we are doing this time is better.
Now the real work begins. Time to go into lock down tour rehearsals. We are determined to put together a great show. I am. Looking forward to the challenge. We have to match how intensely you guys have supported us
Thanks again!
Love,
Danny"
Joeyn blogikirjoitus 19.6.2008 A Toronto thing:
"So Toronto was off the chain as you heard from Danny. Personally, I think we were a little more loose (if that’s possible) north of the border because we were in another country. Seems like Canada is so close, so you might not think its a big difference from the U.S. if you haven’t been there, but it is.Some of the cliches are true. Canadians are much more laid back than us. They are much less affected by all the craziness we surround ourselves with in the States. In short, I think the love flows a little easier up there. Don’t get me wrong, I’m proud to be an American, I just think we could learn something from O’ Canada.
So anyway, we had a great time at the Much Music Awards…once again it rained on our performance. I think we’re gonna start worrying if it doesn’t rain on show days now. It’s always fun to be around other bands and artists, hanging out, checking out the different vibes. Rihanna is stunn-ing. Sum 41, who are the favorite sons of Canada, wore vintage New Kids t-shirts. They saw an interview we did the day before where I said that they were gonna be our back up band because we didn’t have our band. They got the joke. Their reaction was very Canadian to me. (Wow, I think I might move there. No Sa!)
So check it…we are leaving sound check and this girl stops Jordan and says, “will you take a picture with my dog?” And Jordan obliges her. As the girl is taking the shot, she says, “Jordan, over here. Over here!” So Jordan’s like, “I’m looking.” And she says, “no, I’m talking to the dog. His name is Jordan.” AAHGADOOJH!!!! She named her dog after her fave New Kid. Not the craziest thing we’ve ever heard, but worthy of notice.
SO THEN… I’m at a party that night before the show and I meet two sisters. One points out that her sister was a huge fan of mine and so she named her hamster after me. Strange, but again at this point, we’ve kinda heard it all. But then it went over the top when I bumped into them later and the sister said, “Oh, when little Joey died, it was baaaad, real bad. She was….” And before she could go into the details of her sister’s trauma of losing her little hampster Joe, the other mortified sister cut her off abruptly and pulled her away. I wasn’t sure if she was embarrassed because she was talking about something personal or that it was kind of morbid to say I had died? Naming your pets after your favorite New Kids, is that a Toronto thing?

Donnien blogikirjoitus 23.6.2008 Donnie says...

Kanada, MMVA
Katso video. Noh, vähän mentiin paikoin nuotin vierestä, mutta siinä on sellainen mukava homma, että nuotiin vieressä on aina tilaa ;) ja lauloivatpa pojat ihan itse ilman mitään taustanauhoja. New kidsien esiintyminen aiheutti myös pientä hysteriaa jopa muissa artisteissa, joista osa oli kasvanut kuunnellen new kidsejä.
NKOTB MMVA:n e-talkissa. NKOTB-mania iskee, kenen takapuolesta Joey sanoo "greatest ass I've ever seen in my life" ja siihen liittyen mikä sai Jordanin sanomaan "I hate Danny Wood" ;) Katso video.

45 sekuntia kesäaikaa
Onneksi on youtube, laatu tosin sukkaa näissä pätkissä...
45 sekuntia ilman ääntä.
Kertosäe kuvalla ja äänellä.
Video näyttää todella hauskalta... "pojat" ovat omissa puuhissaan ja sitten kännyyn rapsahtaa viesti, että nyt olis aika kokoontua. Leffamaista ja hyvin sellaista nyykkärimaisen leikkisää ;)
Jordanilta uusi blogikirjoitus nkotb.comissa
Ja tätähän on jo odotettu... pitkään ;)2.6.2008 Jordanin blogikirjoitus:
"FOLKS!!! Whats the good word!!!! First I wanna say sorry for not putting up a blog yet but you know me….I like to lay in the cut. Anyway, I just finished watching the Celtics win over the Pistons and now I’m sitting here in my living room writing this note.
I’d like to tell you all how amazed, surprised, excited, and grateful I am to see such a response and outpouring of support for this reunion. It’s really mind boggling! I mean, I thought we could do good work and get a buzz going about this project but WOW!!! It makes me feel we have to work even harder to reciprocate the love we’ve been getting.
A lot of people in the very beginning were asking…”well why are you doing it”? I really wouldn’t say much back (typical me behavior I guess) cuz deep down inside I knew that trying to explain in words just never cuts it. People now say “man aren’t you glad you chose to do it”!!!! I think to myself well “I didn’t choose as much as…it chose me” I really feel doing this is a calling, NOT a career move or a business decision. For a while now people have been asking in increasing intensity about a reunion. Whether it be a casual remark like “you talk to the other guys much?” or straight up “When are you guys gonna reunite”. So, I kinda felt it would be a good time, but more importantly it was a good time for me personally, and thank god for the other guys as well. Its not easy being in a group or a family or on a team but I believe its where you reap the most rewards and benefits. I think as long as you hang in there with each other through the inevitable friction you raise each others energy up and up and up to a point where it would have never gotten if you were alone. Good stuff!!! I needed it! I got it! Through being back with my homies from Boston and our fans across the world my life feels richer, more exciting, challenging, and a lot more whole, ……so THANK YOU!!! I REALLY, REALLY mean it!!!
I love you all,…… see you on tour!
Jordan"

NKOTB all over

Boston Heraldin 16.5.2008 artikkeli: "New kids rise again" , kirjoittanut Jed Gottlieb:
"Once upon a time the New Kids on the Block were, like, a totally awesome pop phenomenon.
Wait, back up and scratch that.
The New Kids on the Block are, like, a totally awesome pop phenomenon.
And on Sept. 26 and 28, Boston’s fab five plan to perform before a potential 40,000 fans at two (yes, two!) TD Banknorth Garden shows.
It’s insanity. All over again." Lue koko artikkeli.

Vahinko vain, sivut vaativat uusimman quicktime-version, enkä voi ladata sitä koneelleni koska se onnistuu vain jos on windows XP tai vista. Mutta onneksi se on nähtävissä myös youtubessa :)

Arkiston kätköistä
Suomessa ei aikoinaan pahemmin näkynyt TV:stä sarjakuvaa New kidseistä. Onneksi on internet ja youtube. Katso sarjista täällä. Tuossa ensin mainitsemassani dokkarissa tosin Jordan muistelee kuinka sarjakuvaa alettiin tehdä ja jotkin kundit länsirannikolta tulivat kuuntelemaan kuinka New kidsit puhuvat, että osaavat sitten äänityksissä. Ja kuten voit kuulla... itärannikon aksentista ei ole jälkeäkään eikä äänet kuulosta yhtään esikuviltaan :D

Yksi liikuttavimmista asioista joita olen New kidseistä nähnyt on ehdottomasti Jonin ja Jordanin vierailu Oprahissa. Molemmat Knightin veljekset kärsivät paniikkihäiriöistä, eteenkin Jonathan. Tämä asia myös selittää paljon miksi Jon ei viihdy parrasvaloissa.Katso lisää paniikkihäiriöstä ja Knightin veljeksistä Oprahin kotisivuilla.

We are ready!!!!
Kulmakunnan uudet kakarat ovat siis taas yhdessä ja fanit ovat löytäneet toistensa lisäksi itsestään sen teinin, joka ompeli peace-merkkejä vaatteisiinsa ja vuorasi huoneensa seinät Bostonin poikien kuvilla. Aivan mahtavaa!!!!
Ja pelottavaa ;) Olemme kasvaneet isoiksi, mutta emme aikuisiksi. Meillä on nyt ikää, rahaa ja mahdollisuuksia niin paljon enemmän kuin silloin 80-90 -lukujen taitteessa. Mikään ei meitä pysäytä! ;)
New kidsitkään eivät tunnu muuttuneen tippaakaan. Toki muutamia juonteita löytyy silmien alta ja osalla on jo lapsiakin, mutta edelleen he ovat hassuttelevia "pikkupoikia" joihin ihastuimme.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to NKOTB Finnish fanblog!
Feel free to share a memory about new kids, about you as a blockhead, if you have some news about new kids that we have missed or something else to comment. Feel free to e-mail us: finland.loves.nkotb@gmail.com.
Fans are reunited and definitely ready for New kids. Nothing has changed. We are grown up but we are still those same teenage girls that we were back then. Nothing will stop us now!!!
