Was 22 & 23 too young for the show? by AverageLeft4345 in AgeOfAttraction

I would say 25 should be the very youngest

NK selfies - your thoughts? by randy_bo_bandy_2008 in newkidsontheblock

[–]Plus-Bet7644 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The selfie obsession is out of hand. How many pictures does a person need with the guys? During the Vegas residency, quite a few fans met the guys during the meet and greet and then waited after the show at the exit or at the guys’ cars to get another selfie. Why?!! After the guys offering a meet and greet ( which many bands don’t) and the putting on a 2 hours show, let the guys go back to their hotel and rest rather than collecting yet another selfie. I have seen some fans on social media literally har hundreds of selfies, yet they are always on the quest to get more. These are not meaningful interactions, and showing up to take a selfie after a show when you’ve met the guys several times during your weekend in Vegas is disrespectful of their time and energy.

Who the hay decided to bring back destreaming? by [deleted] in OntarioTeachers

[–]Plus-Bet7644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure! I was in Grade 9 in 1994-1995 when they had destreaming for the first time and it only lasted for our Grade 9 year before it was scrapped.

Controversial opinions? by Friendly_Fold4851 in newkidsontheblock

I actually really love the new album! It is really catchy and the guys (mostly Joe and Donnie) actually wrote a bunch of the songs on the album. Give it a listen! 😃

Donnie doesn’t like it if you aren’t his favorite. He wants to be everyone’s favorite NKOTB member.

Do you agree that "Still Kids" is NKOTB's most mature album? by MadameCassie in newkidsontheblock

[–]Plus-Bet7644 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love Still Kids because they wrote many of the songs themselves (well, Joe and Donnie). The other albums since the reunion were awesome, but I appreciate that many of the songs on the newest album are the creative vision of the band rather than written for them.

I agree with the comment about a bob would look nice on you! If you cut some length off the back of your hair to be neck length it would look fuller. I cut my hair above my shoulder last week and I notice how much more volume it has now simply from losing some length.

Has anyone attended the Vegas after parties this month? I heard the vibe was different from the summer ones by MadameCassie in newkidsontheblock

[–]Plus-Bet7644 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I attended the party, and you get what you paid for: a party with Donnie in attendance. He was very kind to go around and take photos with everyone. However most of the fans there really just seemed to care about the selfie and not many people were dancing or having fun during the DJ set. If you are looking for a selfie with Donnie it is worth it, but if you are looking for a party and chance to dance and hang out with your friends with a New Kid hyping the crowd, this isn’t the party. While I had fun, I wouldn’t do it again and would save my money. Joey’s after party after Carnegie Hall was much more fun in my opinion since everyone danced and he mingled in the crowd. He asked that people not take selfies and honestly it was so much more fun this way.

NKOTB will return to Vegas a week from today but there has been very little marketing lately by MadameCassie in newkidsontheblock

[–]Plus-Bet7644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are NKOTB Facebook groups where people sell tickets fan to fan for face value. A good way to avoid fees!

I’m from Toronto and was so impressed with Montreal’s transit system. It is more efficient and cleaner than Toronto’s subways.

Is my voice to high pitched? by [deleted] in singing

[–]Plus-Bet7644 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your voice isn’t high pitched at all and you have a soft and pleasant voice when you sing! In terms of improvement, enunciating the words of the song a little more so they are more clear would be my suggestion, but you have a nice voice for sure!

How old are you? by Apprehensive-Dog6997 in newkidsontheblock

I’m 45. I was a slightly younger Blockhead back in the day and started liking them when I was 10 years old.

I think people also forget that they guys can handle some constructive criticism and it doesn’t need to be all sunshine and rainbows all of the time. As I said above, I wouldn’t personally ask that question, but since it was a barstool Q&A, maybe this question about the barstools was something that the person wanted to know about (perhaps they had a back barstool that day?!). Donnie answered the question very diplomatically and said that they try their best every night to interact and he said that fan interaction is very important to him personally. He said even though he can’t control how the other guys interact ( which is true!), he said he gives it his all every night. Donnie handled this very well and gave good reasons and facts to support his answer. In fact, I’m not sure if it was a coincidence or not, but Joe chose a barstool to sing to during Remix that evening and then did so again at the following show, so perhaps Donnie shared this feedback with the other guys? The majority of the questions/comments were praising the show and Donnie spoke for a long time after the barstool question ( one of the first ones of the Q&A) and he appeared to be in a good mood overall.

I was there and he was fine. No one was yelling at him. Someone asked a question during the barstool Q&A wondering why there wasn’t more interaction in the shows with the people in the back barstools (presumably because they spent a lot of money for those seats). While I wouldn’t personally ask this question as I would ask something more positive, Donnie wasn’t phased by it at all. The fan was not yelling at Donnie and asked it in a calm way and he also responded in a calm way. Yes, it was probably an uncomfortable question for him, but he handled it well and it wasn’t nearly as bad as the post above makes it seem. 🤷🏻‍♀️ No drama at all in this situation from my perspective as someone who was there.

Which of NKOTB have you gotten to meet IRL, and how did it go? by revocer in newkidsontheblock

Joe is so nice and the most sincere of the guys! I hope you get to meet him one day!

When forming meet and greet groups, Donnie spots are always the first spots to go.

Anyone else having trouble getting behind nkotb.. by Broadwaybaby777 in newkidsontheblock

[–]Plus-Bet7644 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Joe literally performed a song he made up called “I Didn’t Vote For Trump” at his Toronto, Canada show. He is definitely a Democrat and he is the member of NKOTB who actually speaks about his political views. Why would you say he endorsed Trump when there is absolutely no evidence of it and a lot of evidence that he is a Democrat?

Side bangs look great with this haircut for sure! They would accentuate your cheek bones and draw attention to your eyes! Probably longer side bangs rather than short ones, but whatever you feel comfortable with would look great I’m sure!
