New Kids on the Block: Win Concert Tickets, Watch Their “Behind the Music” Special, Catch ‘Em In Concert
By now, New Kids fans know that VH1 is giving away tix to a handful of the group’s fall shows. We’ve had lots of great responses to our “Ultimate Fan” contest. People have sent in photos and stories about why they’re the most rad NKOTB lovers ever. No one has been more impressed than the guys themselves. Last week, they stopped by our NYC offices and checked out a few of the entries.
In the above clip, Donny, Jordan, Jonathan, Danny, and Joey urge everyone to participate in the contest. After the jump, they read of a few of their fave submissions. Don’t miss the one about the girls who went to Boston to actually kiss the porch of the house the Knight family lived in…
Every fan, ultimate and otherwise, will be hopped-up about the arrival of VH1’s “New Kids on the Block: A Behind the Music Special,” which premieres on September 28 at 8 PM ET. It’s a great overview of the group’s phenomenal early success and their recent reunion. Best of all is the fact that during the show, VH1 is cutting to the Kids’ sold-out Boston concert to see a live performance of three songs. Do Not Miss!
Find out how to participate in the “Ultimate Fan” contest and see the New Kids in concert.
Watch the New Kids talk about their favorite videos in VH1’s “My Playlist.”
See pictures and read some crazy fan stories here.
Check out our two winners so far, Kim and Torrie.
Here are the guys enjoying a few of the better contest entries. Watch!

Blair and Nichole, do you think the VH1 peeps are reading these posts of ours? They probably think we are nuts.
If so, peeps have pitty on us. Come on…who is it??
September 19th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
Im not sure if they are reading this, but you have to admit…WE ARE DIEHARDS! LOL!
We know thus far its not any of us bloggers!
September 19th, 2008 at 12:37 pm
P.S. My sis (blair) is in a meeting for the next hour or so, so you know its killing her not to be able to check in!
September 19th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
You are a mean sister! haha…jk. Yes, It did kill me. I kept sneaking a peek at my phone…I’m not sure what my meeting was about.
September 19th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
( In her best Merideth Gray voice) Pick me…choose me…love me…!
September 19th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
I even just had a co-worker ask if I’ve heard anything yet…haha.
September 19th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
I am such a DORK…
So, I’m listening to the Right Stuff and found myself changing the lyrics around.
Like, instead of the “Oh, oh oh oh ohs”…I changed it to, “I, I, I can’t work, I, I, I can’t, I, I, I, can’t work..nope nope nope….haha.
September 19th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
If we win any of the shows…wouldn’t it be funny for Donnie to sing “Cover Girl” to me again…it would be hilarious to have a then and now picture of the whole incident. haha.
September 19th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
It would be a GREAT thing for their HOMETOWN show! LOL!
Put the original pic on the jumbo tron and then pull you up on stage, and then I can just
stand there and cry cry cry! Or they could pull ME on stage and sing to me!
That would be fantastic! Maybe give ME a chance to have Donnie sing to me, you already had your shot! LOL!
September 19th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
OH, and A BIG CONGRATS to the winner! You’ll be doing something many girls can only dream of!
September 19th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
I am DYING over here!!!! I’ve been checking my email all day & my heart and stomach SINKS everytime my phone rings. I know the rules say that the winner will be notified within one business day, meaning it could be Monday, but this is killin me… LOL
Good Luck to all!

OMG, I’m dying over here!!

September 19th, 2008 at 5:35 pm
LORD ALMIGHTY MINDY! We have been waiting for the last 3 days for you to blog on here! LOL!
We all thought that maybe you won, and weren’t allowed to talk about it on here! Quite the scare!
Just shows you how imaginations can run wild!
And we all completely understand!
I have had my phone glued to me, I had a salon appointment this morning and didn’t even pay attention to where I was driving because I was in NKOTB land, and anytime my phone rang, my heart would skip like 10 beats!
Lemme catch you up and introduce you to our bloggers!
Im Nichole, I entered the “Cover Girl” picture and story
Blair, is my sister, she is the little girl in the photo.
Leigh, is the one who married the Donnie Look-a-like
Danielle is the one sleeping with the dolls.
Weve all become blogger friends, and have been waiting on you the whole time! LOL
Im thinking, NKOTB are performing for the 2nd night in Canada, and IF they are helping with the judging, VH1 is prolly waiting to discuss with them, and they are fiercly busy!
Anyhoooo, not that I caught you up, how things?
September 19th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
Hey everyone!! Thanks for the recap, Nichole. OMG, I’m sorry I had you guys worried! I WISH I knew that I had won. The rules said they would announce the winner on their website today. How much longer?! I loved all of your guys’ entries. We have some great stories huh? Maybe they picked someone else entirely! LOL
I know it says above the video that our entries were a few of their faves, but I don’t think the guys are actually judging. I have read the rules over and over and over. They are waaaaaaaaay too busy now with the tour just starting.
Just think, though, we have won NO MATTER WHAT!!! The guys sat around and talked about us! They said our names!! Bring that up if you’re going to any concerts!!
Good luck everyone!

September 20th, 2008 at 12:59 am
Wow, still no word huh? At least Im not so wound up anymore! Im suprised that if they have already chosen an entry, that they weren’t any of the 4 of the “better” ones!
September 20th, 2008 at 8:52 am
I can’t believe that their is no winner yet!! Their is still hope!!
September 20th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
I cannot take it anymore! haha.
September 20th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
I have been keeping track of the blogs….this is my firts blog…..I entered the contest last weekend. Has anyone heard anything???? How much longer until it is announced. I am going crazy out here!!!
September 20th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
Nothing yet Nichole?? Oh my goodness.
*sigh*
Danielle
The girl sleeping with her dolls
September 20th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Nope, Nothing…Absolutly nothing! Ive almost given up hope!
It was nice hearing from Mindy tho, huh? LOL!
Im much less anxious! I figured they would have at least emailed or
called the winner so they could prepare?
Anyhoo, I bet it will all come to the surface on Monday.
Nothing like a bit of suspense!
The mystery shall soon be solved!
If you watch the video closely, you’ll notice that Jordan has more than 4 entries on his lap,
so that could indicate that, yes, ours were some of the “better” entries, but maybe the ones they didn’t show were the winners, and they taped the whole thing on that one day, and when they post the winner, it will be them saying who won! This is my “thesis”! While I really hope that is not the case, I just wonder about it. LOL!
Im done checking for the weekend, so I guess we’ll chat on Monday when the big secret is revealed!

States on the “entry” blog that the winner was chosen. Reina’s friend! Now we can all relax until October!LOL!
September 21st, 2008 at 3:53 am
Damn!! Oh well…….. like I said, I’ve already won…… so, it’s all good
~Mindy
September 21st, 2008 at 11:05 am
Yeah. I truely thought it was one of the ones shown in the video! I too, am very happy with NKOTB even looking at mine! I feel very privlidged! At least I will be able to work tommorow! LOL!
September 21st, 2008 at 12:40 pm
I agree Mindy and Nichole.
Of course I would have liked to win..but they said my name. I am really excited and happy with that.
September 21st, 2008 at 7:23 pm
I’m so bummed
September 21st, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Sad, but very happy the wait is over, and very happy for Reina’s friend!
September 21st, 2008 at 10:10 pm
Hey Ladies (Nicole, Blair, Mindy, Danielle),
Don’t be sad, remember there’s three more concerts. It is awesome they read our entries though. I’m going to the concert Sept 26th in Boston and was thinking of bringing a sign that said “I’m Leigh from Vh1’s ultimate fan contest.” Maybe it would catch their attention? I figured from the beginning that there would be such a remote chance to win because I’m sure they got a million entries. So like you all said, it’s really an honor the New Kids read ours. I can’t seem to get vh1 to write me back and let me know how I can obtain a copy of that video blog though. I want to be able to show my daughter when she’s a little older what a huge fan of New Kids her mom is. Congrats to the winner and I’ll be hoping for all of us for the next three!
September 21st, 2008 at 10:54 pm
I almost started crying just now! LOL! Now I REALLY feel like Im 12 again! hahahah!
September 21st, 2008 at 11:00 pm
Hey Leigh! Its funny! My sister and I were just talking about getting better “floor” tickets for the Cleveland show, and making a sign to try to get their attention!
I was watching one of the video blogs on nkotb.com, and Donnie stated that he “gave away like 400 backstage passes” in Canada, so maybe if we make signs, and he DID say he wanted to meet his Covergirls as adults, maybe our dream can still come true!!! LOL!
Yeah, we know that there is 3 more, but Ive almost lost hope…
I hope you win the Vegas show like you wanted! Good Luck! AND PLEASE let us know how the Boston show goes! Ohhhhhhhhh how I wanted to be there!
September 21st, 2008 at 11:01 pm
Leigh… P.S~ You must post a pic somewhere so we can see your “Donnie” hubby! My hubby looks like Josh Lucas (Sweethome Alabama style!)
September 22nd, 2008 at 6:40 am
Almost lost hope? My hope has been gone since Friday
I made a pact with myself not to check these blogs…so ++##^((&$`%`$~^ tit…let me know if anything good happens on here…..
sniff sniff
September 22nd, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Hey girls,
I know it sucks none of us won Boston, but like Leigh said, there are 3 other shows. We all still have a chance. And I heard there was only like 200 entires, so you never know!! I still cannot believe that the guys sat around & talked about US. They haven’t seen all the entries, nor will they, so they won’t even know who the winner is. But, they will know us!! That’s why I said we have already won.
I have 5* VIP to my show in St Louis. I’m bringing my pic with me so I can show them & tell them, I’m the porch kisser!! LOL And they will totally remember my story and know who I am. How cool is that??
Keep your heads up girls. It’s not over yet!!
GET YOUR MIND RIGHT!!!!!
September 22nd, 2008 at 12:30 pm
Hahaha…I know what you mean Mindy.
I so want to go to our show and take my picture and wave it around and be like, give me kisses again! haha. They would be like “Hey, isn’t that the picture of that Cover Girl we were talking about???”…Ya, right…wishful thinking
September 23rd, 2008 at 1:01 am
WICKED AWESOME!!!!! I’m OFD and when I was a pre-teen/teen girl during the NKOTB hype I unfortunately never got to see the guys in concert. (I dunno, Mom didn’t have the money or didn’t want to take me and listen to screaming girls, who knows!) I was although fortunate enough to see some of the guys around town a few times (or at least see them in a car driving by) Watched Danny play basketball once at Mill St. park (with his shirt off…NICE BODY btw) Anyway, I’m going to see them for the first time in concert this Friday in Boston…with my own pre-teen daughter who now loves them and is going to be wearing my tour jacket I got when I was her age! This just seems so crazy!
September 23rd, 2008 at 8:29 am
Congrats Kim! Don’t let the sore losers bring you down…enjoy your prize and just ignore the haters!
September 28th, 2008 at 11:36 pm
Hi my name is janet and l always like nkotb since l was small , l remember when l have all your record, posted, and alot of thing so l will to please send me a free ticket to see my favorite group always……..
September 29th, 2008 at 7:29 am
I was at the sold out concert last night in Boston and it was incredible!!! I am also going to the one in November in Providence. They have not lost any of their touch, and the crowd was wild!
September 29th, 2008 at 8:02 am
To my Favorit group, you all the best thing that came out. I wish that I will ge to me you all soon. Im a big fan on the N>K>O>T>B>. I have a 9 year old that likes them too.!!!!
September 29th, 2008 at 12:01 pm
I love New Kids. They were the only band that made me want books, and t-shirts and BEDSHEETS. I watched the cartoon, they were one of my first cassette tapes. I’m so glad they’re back together. And Donnie, I’m SINGLE.
September 29th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
I sent a pic too! My two friends and I video taped ourselves in the middle of the Minnesota winter!! It was freezing! We taped around our town in hopes they would come and do a show here. I have seen them twice in High School. I taped any and all interviews and shows they were on back then and continue to tape them now….. My 14 year old son, who likes Rap and other music loves them too and would love to see them. He shares my love of music. The New Kids also helped me battle depression as a teen and gave me something to look forward too. I became a member of the fan club and spent all my babysitting money on magazines,posters and other items of theirs! My oldest son even wore their p.j.’s when he was little. Just would love to meet them once and say Thank You for the awesome memories and getting me through high school!!!!
October 1st, 2008 at 1:01 pm
Blair
I have not gone yet. It is a week from today.
I am so excited. I saved your email and I will email you all the details.
I am still trying to decide what to wear. If I wanna go old school and wear an old shirt(which will look alot smaller now..haha) or just wear my regular clothes.
October 3rd, 2008 at 9:06 pm
Does anyone know if a winner has been picked yet for Vegas????
I feel like a 12 year old girl again. I can’t stop checking the computer, then my phone, then my computer, etc….the cycle just won’t stop
Good luck ladies
October 6th, 2008 at 9:46 pm

I went to the Cleveland concert last Friday and what an awesome performance. down on the floor, center stage, 3rd row back…doesnt get much better than that! The guys were just as great in concert this time around as they were 15 years ago! They were the first concert i ever attended. i went with my mom and it was awesome to be able to take my kids to their first concert and it be the NKOTB. My son, Jordan, finally got to see the man he was named after. i’ve waited for this for soooo long and now that it’s over i’m going through withdrawals. its quite sad if i sit here and think about it…but ill always have the memories of those 5 sexy grown men dancing on stage…and like candie said..they’ll be back next year! and yes, ill be there hangin tough with the rest of the BLOCKHEADS!!!!!
