[ JORDAN ] Interview with Vegas Seven: Life After Boy Toy

Jordan Knight chats with a New Kid worshipper about his musical trajectory—from ’80s teen idol to solo touring

New Kids on the Block were the greatest band ever, when I was in elementary school. Obsessed, I would play their 1990 single “Step by Step” on cassette while dancing up and down the stairs. And it wasn’t just me; the band sold 80 million records and bagged a couple American Music Awards. And after more than 10 years apart, New Kids (sometimes NKOTB) reunited in 2008 and even embarked upon a tour with the Backstreet Boys called NKOTBSB.

Of the five members, my favorite was (and is) lead singer Jordan Knight, with his dreamy eyes and falsetto voice. Delighting my inner 9-year-old, I interviewed Knight, 41, in advance of his solo tour—a choreographed concert featuring material from his four solo albums. Here’s what he had to say to his once-biggest fan.

What’s it like to tour solo?
I’m used to doing the show with nine guys, two groups. There’s a lot of work that the other guys do that I don’t have to do. Now it’s all on me, which is fun and challenging at the same time.

[ JORDAN ] New Kid Jordan Knight enjoying freedom of solo shows

Leave a comment

Jordan Knight’s been hitting the charts for more than two decades.

And while he’ll always be a Kid at heart, the former lead singer of New Kids on the Block has some “Unfinished” business to attend to: his current solo tour, “Jordan Knight: Live & Unfinished,” which continues a 20-city run Saturday at Mandalay Bay’s House of Blues.

With a stop in Los Angeles prior to this weekend’s Vegas visit, followed by one in San Francisco, it’s “West Coast triangulation” time for the singer.

It’s also a chance for Knight to do a different kind of show than the one he did last year: a successful arena tour that teamed New Kids on the Block with fellow boy-band favorites Back Street Boys.

[ JOEY ] NKOTB Reckon One Direction Will Have It Tough in America

Leave a comment

Joey McIntyre of New Kids on the Block fame has been talking with Yahoo OMG! about the impact that British boybands One Direction and The Wanted are having overseas.

The ageing pop-star said:”The odds are against both One Direction and The Wanted — neither of them are going to work in America – it hasn’t happened in 50 years so why now?”

Joey added: “They need to go through some tough times and have a period where they learn from all their mistakes — they don’t have the chance to do that.”

NKOTB are currently prepping for another tour with the Backstreet Boys, and Howie Dorough also gave his thoughts on the current Brit invasion, saying:

“I’m not one to tell anyone what to do how to make their career happen, the hardest places to crack are the UK and USA. And for success to happen a lot of things need to go right. It was a lot of right time right place for Backstreet Boys.”
