(pause to allow time to scroll down and read yesterday's post)
Well, the New Kids Concert last night... what can I say... those old guys really put on a show. The whole thing was really intense. Never before have I heard such a crowd. 40,000 screaming women and 45 men plugging their ears. The crowd was SOOO loud, and so random. I mean Cougars everywhere who listened to them years ago when their daughters were teenagers, women who were the teenagers now grown up, and little girls who were new fans. There were drunk, slutty college girls there having a "girls night out", there were drunk, slutty older women having "girls night out" and families with 3 generations of girls... all singing the words to songs which I didn't know the words. Now, I know maybe New Kids top 3 songs...but they performed for almost 2 hours. They sang new stuff, old stuff, they even had those members who attempted solo careers sing their solo songs. One guy, who didn't try a solo career, but apparently spent the last 18 years learning to break dancing showcased his ability to windmill like a Jr High (middle school) kid. Impressive. Each one of them had their moment in the spotlight (well except one of them, I think the gay one) but the major downfall was they kept trying to sell their sexualness. There were more crotch grabs and ass shots on the jumbo-tron than I care to admit. One of the dudes starting singing a solo from his solo career, then ripped open (probably fastened with Velcro) his shirt and sang the song with a wind machine blowing so it looked like his shirt was blowing in the wind. He might as well been the cover of a cheese romance novel. Gag and puke.
I guess the highlight of the whole show for me was the opening act. We didn't know who the opening act was going to be until we got there but the Jabbawockeez opened up. For those that don't know, they are a dance group from San Diego and they won the first season of "America's best dance crew". These dudes are awesome. Check out a clip from the show: Jabbawockeez and Jabbawockeez .I hope you actually watched the video clip because the Jabbawockeez are seriously awesome. I am tired of this post so I am out.

The cheesiness of Jordan singing with a wind machine on him and all of the crotch grabs/shots really was disgusting. Extremely distasteful.
You might be the only girl in the entire arena that thought so...
