New Kids on the Block reunion performance at the MMVAs – the right stuff for a hardcore show

leave a comment »

In addition to the confirmed performers who are performing/appearing at the MuchMusic Video Awards on Sunday, June 15th, 2008, the New Kids on The Block are scheduled to perform at this year’s MMVA’s – as part of their reunion after nearly at 15 year extinction complete with solo projects.

For those of you who don’t know who are the New Kids on the Block are, they are very popular in the 1980s, my sister really likes them back then (at that time she was around 6 or 8 back then…..). I kinda don’t like them that much thesedays except that I like their hits, “Hangin’ Tough”, “Step by Step” and “The Right Stuff”.

With the addition of NKOTB, the MuchMusic Video Awards will bring lots of tourism to our region and it’s not just Toronto. If I had things my way, the awards should be broadcasted over the internet and most importantly on cell phones (providing if the cell phone is 1X/EVDO or 3G/HSPA/HSDPA capable and allows to play videos), many people from all around the globe will watch the festivities!!! To finish off this blog, I leave you two of the music videos by NKOTB. Enjoy.
