NKOTB back in concert – Kicking off the Summer

As the much needed Summer treat the NKOTB fans could have hoped for, the five men from Boston graced the streets of New York. On the makeshift stage of the Today Show, May 16 at 8:30 AM. The question is was it wise?

They got off to a rocky start and after 15 years it could have been worse. I was wondering why McIntyre’s mic was louder than everyone else’s, including Jordan Knight’s (who was doing lead for the first song). They did melodies of their old stuff which was cute, but I was more interested in the new stuff. The second performance was geared towards the single and the harmonizing was a tad better but not on point. The third performance had them doing their thing and they seemed as though they were almost back to where they were before they left.

nkotbmetalicsuitsThey seem to want to stay elevated in their performances and that’s what most fans also wanted for them. Unfortunately like many artists they only gave the new single a spin. Will they survive like the Rolling Stones or sink like New Edition. Will they leave just the truly dedicated to love them no matter how bad a product they produce? I sure hope it’s the middle of the road. The anticipated album leaves much to the imagination for now but as soon as it drops Switch will report.
