Ne-Yo has tried to help resurrect the geriatric group, New Kids on the Block, for no reason other than a pay check. More surprising than their attempt at a comeback is the fact that this song doesn’t make our ears bleed. Are you as shocked as we are?

  • MsMarks

    well this one isn’t all that new…but it is my Jam. oh, 1st :)

    Go on head NOKTB! Damn, I had their lunch box. :-)

  • Mistah Swirl’s Baby

    If you aint got no money, If you aint got no money!

    I got money, me and my daddy. Stuntin with our blonde gyals.

  • Anton Slizzardhands

    Top 5 — I need a drank

  • Hannibal

    WACK…

  • thickykins, LOL!

    me likey!

  • Hannibal

    WTF…

  • Pretty Brown Girl

    love it… but its old now… and neyo has taken all the credit!! sheesh

  • Common Sense

    LAME

  • Kelly

    I love this song. To bad its not getting any radio play.

  • Heathermusic

    First of all this is an excellent tune!

    I loved it when i first heard it but im not sure about this video…

    The guys just look a little too ‘mature’ to pull this off! I have a slight problem with the concept of the video, its like the girl is 23 and the guys are like 45, would she even look at them twice? and what are they doing chasing girls in a club at their age?

    The song itself is great though!

  • Heathermusic

    PS.. Ne-yo is looking super hot in this video!

    PLus withouth him this song is not what it is, he has really helped them with their ‘come back’ if you can call it that. Let’s wait to see what they sounds like on their own!

  • Book Worm

    This song is on Ne-Yo’s cd so I’m not sure what this is, but I love this song.

  • Lush_Us_Lipps

    I’m really feelin’ this song. Like it!

  • ocapkid aka haitian barack

    ITS NOT BAD!

  • DDub

    This is NeYo’s song all the way. Same beat, tempo, lyrics whatever. I’m sure he got paid quite nicely for his efforts.

  • P

    Jawn is the stupidest word I’ve ever heard and yall should stop using it.

  • Sawyer

    I dont hate this song…only because Ne-Yo has taken some influence from overseas (the London scene…example, Closer) and has incorporated it as “something new”…no my brotha this music is not new…just better than what we have over here in America!

    I’m mad that New Kids on the Block came back out…whatever happened to leaving the past in the past.

  • enitsirk30

    Really love this song but it sounds so much better on Ne-yo cd. I don’t care if Ne-yo is gay…..I love his music!!! New Kids not so much…sorry Nikki and fellow block heads.

  • Misty

    I love this song! I never knew it was NOKTB and Ne-Yo.

  • Ree

    This is my favorite song from Year of the Gentleman..when NE-YO sings it ALONE. I don’t like the Old Kids version…

  • Melinda

    It’s kinda cheesy,but I like the beat.

  • JillyBean819

    I used to love me up some John Knight. He was always in the background but I thought he was adorable.

  • Brea

    Damn! They looking good. I love the song!

  • denayk20

    Donny and Joey are looking right

  • cajunbelle

    This has been the jam for a while now…I didnt know it was NKOTB until my daughter went to their concert. Not only is that a great song..Neyo has it on his CD as well…NKOTB have sold out every show they played so far and they have the highest merchandising sales out of any group…they obviously still have it…..i am not mad at them!

  • Well…

    Now I used to love NKOTB, but this is more a radio song than a video song. Seeing middle aged men in the club is a no no!

  • sniper

    I think it’s the other way around – Neyo is riding NKOTB’s coattails on this one.

    100,000 sold in first week, #1 on the billboards

  • NKOTB FAN

    I am one of the BIGGEST nkotb fans and this song is the sh*t!! I have their new cd and that song is on it as well. The artist title is NKOTB featuring Ne-yo. Also, nkotb’s comeback has been EXTREMELY successful and their cd was #1 on the Billboard charts. Their concerts have been sold out for months and I will be in attendance on November 2nd in Tampa!! Btw, they are not 45 as the oldest member is 39. And since when is 39 old?? Like Donnie said “get ya mind right” before you go speaking on things you know nothing about.

  • Frog-a-licious

    I love love love this song! I prefer this version than Ne-Yo’s version on his album.

  • MACK

    the beat is sick….BUT, the vocals are WHACK…lol

  • LetItBeAMansWorld_AsLongAsICanBeAWomanInIt

    Ne-yo’s verion is WAYYY better. NKTOB FAN – It’s on Neyos album as well, Year of the Gentleman titled “Single” Featuring nobody else.

  • shesofine

    This song is not new…. the video has been playing on VH1 for months. It’s a good song and the video is nice too… gets me excited thinking about going back to Vegas!

  • Carla

    Well I’m not a NKOTB fan either but a lot of my friends are. The song isn’t that bad, although the members of NKOTB are kind worn down looking I’m sure there are some really young ladies that would like them, lol…

  • Real Black dude

    That chick in the video is Yasmin Deliz. She’s a cute Dominican woman.

  • Tresprincess

    ARRGH! I love me some NKOTB but I LOOOOOOVE ME some Ne-Yo music! As an artist he is on point.. And when Joey opened his mouth with the first line- I was like THAT’S MY NE-YO’s song.. I don’t wanna hear no one but Ne-Yo sing it.. But alas I guess as a producer a check is a check- so do what you gotta do Ne-Yo, but I don’t have to like it!! Done venting- carry on.

  • v-fromRock

    Please some of you act like you’re never going to get old and that people who are close to their 40′s should sing. You’re not going to be young forever so get over it. Pls music is for any race, religion, sex, etc.. get over it the song is good.

  • Phenomenal Me… Ms. Dee (11 more days and this madness will be OVER!!!)

    The video is so-so, but the song is pretty good.

  • msunderstood

    i love the song….very nice

  • lilmissv

    Surprisingly i LOVE this song…it is a little weird seeing NKOTB in the club and all but still the song is hot…usually when old groups try making comebacks they end up looking washed up and lame, but i think NKOTB did good!

  • C

    The song has been out a couple of months and it does sound fine w/o Ne-yo. I know that this is shock but NKOTB does not suck as you would like to remember. Their final album 94 was actually good and one the best songs they ever did Never Let You Go sounded like something Al.B Sure would’ve recorded.

  • Nubn

    NKOTB still got it!

    go Jordan!

  • J

    NKOTB Still has it and they are not old I love there music and there new CD is amazing Way to go Guys I am your glad your back

  • Vixen

    this isnt new but is HOT

  • http://www.myspace.com/t3pps t3pps

    the song isn’t new

    nkotb isn’t old

    i used to hate that song but ii’s grown on me

  • Cicely

    I LOVE this song and Joe and Donnie look fine as hell!

  • donnies#1fan

    this song/video has been out for months. wtf? this song is hot, nkotb’s entire cd is hot except for one or two songs. quit hating on these guys. obviously alot of you are youngins. they were more popular than the backstreet boys and nsync combined back in the late 80′s/early 90s. and donnie is hot!!!! stop hating!!!!

  • Jin Ho

    This song is a JAM. I didn’t like the New Kids back in the day, but they can actually sing. Unlike those sorry ass Back Street Boys and punk ass Justin Timberflake and his corny ass, dancing too fast for the music, group.

  • Miss_Ava

    Sorry Ne-yo fans but the fact is, Ne-Yo loves the way NKOTB sang his song and he wanted in on it. That’s why they decided to just have both of them be on it as a collaboration. Getcha mind RIGHT!

  • Desiree

    I love this song

  • Bri

    CD is hot, show in Detroit was hot and they are very talented.

  • Alexa

    This is a New Kids on the Block song w/Ne-yo people. Get informed before you comment.

    They both have it on their cds. It’s on Ne-yo’s cd and it’s on NKOTB cd.

    The one with NKOTB is much better. The one with Ne-yo alone just sounds like it missing something. Ne-yo alone (not that great on this tune).

  • AngelFace

    The song is not new but definitely is hot!! Since when is 35-39 geriatric. These guys are selling out all of their shows and I CANNOT wait to see their show this week. These young acts today should only be so lucky to be able to ‘retire’ for 15 years and comeback with a #1 CD and sold-out shows. Mind you, they did not comeback for the money. At the height of their career, they were the #1 paid entertainers on Forbes list (made over $800 million). Let’s see if Rihanna, Chris Brown, etc would be able to do this.

    i was skeptical at first too but after seeing them in concert, i was stuuuuunned. not only were they still singing and dancing for 2 solid hours but they were on point. LOVE the song, LOVE the new album and LOVE the comeback..it’s pretty inspiring.
