[ NKOTBSB ] NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK FLY THE US FLAG FOR ONE DIRECTION

CRACKING America is the ultimate for any budding British group.

And boyband kings New Kids On The Block and Backstreet Boys are backing our very own One Direction to triumph this year.

If anyone should know about selling records to boyband fans it’s Joey McIntyre and Howie Dorough who have sold more than 200million albums between their two groups.

And they can’t get enough of all things British when we meet up for a spot of traditional English afternoon tea at London’s Dover Street Arts Club.

Joey says: “One Direction are the cutest things I’ve ever seen. I didn’t know if they could break America when I heard the single but now I’ve seen them I have no doubt.

“But JLS don’t have the right look.Let’s face it, you have to be cute to be in a boyband, and for people to like your personalities.

“I was talking to James Corden the other night about The Wanted. I didn’t know they don’t dance. That loses you 10 boyband points.” Joey and the rest of the New Kids – Jordan, 41, and Jonathan Knight, 43, Donnie Wahlberg, 42, and Danny Wood, 42 – scored hits including Hangin’ Tough and Step By Step in the ’80s.

[ NKOTBSB ] NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK & BACKSTREET BOYS

Warum sollte, was im Rock mit Double-Headliner-Tourneen zweier Genregiganten wie beispielsweise Mötley Crüe und Def Leppard vor kurzem in England so gut funktioniert, nicht auch im Pop- und Boygroup-Bereich klappen?

Dass sowohl New Kids On The Bloc als auch die Backstreet Boys zu ihrer Blütezeiten Giganten waren und auch heute noch zu den Sound- und Showriesen gehören will ja wohl niemand bestreiten? Wenn also diese zwei Legenden ihre Hits, Moves und Groves ins gemeinsame Reisegepäck stopfen, dann kann das beim Auspacken auf der Bühne einfach nur zu großartigen Ergebnissen führen. Schließlich sind die Kids und die Boys heute noch bestens ins Form und bestens bei Stimme, was man von so mancher Rockband leider nicht mehr behaupten kann.

[ NKOTBSB ] EQ Interview with Joey McIntyre of New Kids On The Block and Howie D of Backstreet Boys – NKOTBSB!

by Raj Rudolph

I won’t lie. I’m a massive fan of New Kids On The Block. Growing up in rural Oregon in the late eighties, if you didn’t listen to the likes of Garth Brooks, AC/DC and Bruce Springsteen, well you were pretty much a girl. You wanna talk about bullying…try being a sixteen year old teenage boy and wearing your “Hangin Tough” tour jacket to home room – it was pretty rough to say the least. […]

[ NKOTBSB ] One Direction need more attitude, say New Kids On The Block stars

One Direction have to get their swagger on if they are to win over American girls, according to the country’s two biggest boybands.

The X Factor youngsters were given some tough advice on how to crack the States by members of the Backstreet Boys and New Kids On The Block.

The 90s groups delivered their verdict on Simon Cowell’s doe-eyed lads when they touched down on our shores to promote their joint NKOTBSB British tour in April.

‘Even though the UK and England are big, it still sort of has a small town feel,’ 39-year-old New Kids singer Joey McIntyre told me.

‘That’s why you guys love your artists so much but boybands are so personality driven that sometimes it’s about connecting with that and if the American girls don’t connect with that swagger, it’s hard.’
