This came up on the Ipod... C'mon this song is classic, forget who does it...

Girrrrrlllll.....

I don't care what ppl think, I had the biggest crush on NKOTB when I was a teen, saw them in concert 2. I still rewind 2 some of their songs now and again....

Step by step ooh baby
Gonna get to you girrlll
Step by step ooh baby
Really want you in my World

When a kid I did not like 'em, but now I have ALL their stuff, including their very good remix album and their underated "face the music " album of 1994!


I don't mind "please don't go girl" (New edition fans should like that one as it is an identical remake of "is this the end"), but "I'll be loving u forever" is alot better, with good vocals by Jordan!


U must hear "if u go away", an adult contemporary song that has that twinkly ballad sound of the early 90's (and not the amatuerish production of their early stuff)....."please don't go girl" the remix version off "no more games" is better!

Great to c someone with the balls to say that, i know not many people like NKOTB or or that song.....

If you're serious, NKOTB is 'New Kids On The Block'. I disagree with "Please Don't Go Girl" sounds like NE's "Is This The End" They both may have been produced by 'Maurice Starr', though! Anyways, they're both great songs! I do agree that "I'll Be Loving You" is better, though!

Ok, I see what you're sayin'...

C'mon, it's all about the Jam-&-Lewis-esque snares on "Right Stuff".

True and the dance in the video was a Morris Day rip-off.

all they needed was the "chili sauce!" and the slide to the side and they coulda been lost members of the time.

but yeah, i remember this song--in fact i still remember seein a target commercial from when that album first came out and was on sale. i couldn't stand those guys (i called 'em New Scurves on the Curb ) and i was the only girl in my entire 5th grade class who didn't like 'em...

Oh we're talkin' 'bout " The right stuff" now then?

Jam and Lewis thing? Maybe.....but u have to give it up 4 Maurice Starr though.....filled their songs with "oh oh's" if u know what I mean?


"cover girl"....."oh,oh oh, she's my cover girlllll"
"the right stuff"..... "oh,oh,oh.....the right stuff"
"hangin' tough..... "ooooh,ooooh,ooooh,oooh,ooooh, hangin' tough"


We'll theres 3 songs anyway!

All though it is just a cop-off of "Is This The End" (New Edition also written by the same person Maurice Starr) it is still a good jam.

Yeah, that is a successful songwriting technique to not bog listeners down with too much information. It helps for worldwide (multilingual) crossover appeal.

YES i admit, i use to like this song....

cinnie cee childhood trauma relived.

i just remembered. i don't know what year it was but whenever Hangin' Tough came out, I was outside in the back yard with my portable tape player (I would say ghettoblaster, but really in my case it's a ruralblaster), layin on a hammock.

i was listening to "please don't go girl" and just singin' my ass off along with it.
ooooohh bay behhh!

when the song ended, my older sister and her friend appeared from behind a tree! And they started cheering, I was so embarrassed. I had no idea they were there, only a few feet away.

I still love New Kids On The Block

I think I liked this one, cause it wasn't overplayed and not too sappy, or top 40. more souful, well as souful as joey can get. Never was a fan of NKOTB, but if I thought this was a New edition song the first time I heard it..

That was the only song that I liked from NKOTB.

I was working in a record store when this hideous piece of music was set loose upon the world. The only thing worse than having to actually touch the cassettes was having to listen to the riduculous conversations of the mind controlled tuneless zombies at the buttons rack on the counter 2 inches from my face going on and on and on about who was cuter and how "Jordans hat looks different in this picture".. and "Danny is such a bad boy.". and....AHHHHH FLASHBACK!!!

THIS THREAD IS OF THE DEVIL!


make it go away

yeah kinda like "everybody stop fighting...doo doo doo doo doo, do do do do do doo doo"

Pretty funny if ya ask me.....my sis' and her friends loved Jordan best (of course) but they thought Donnie was "bad" and was the coolest! I remember one memeber who I swear was gay.....It was not the frankinstein one, or the baby voice one, but the other one.....

I hated this song so much when it came out. My brother and two sisters would not stop singin' it.
