Half-Ass Concert Review: New Kids on the Block

The production value was strong.  There were large monitors directly above the stage and to the side, and they were used for video clips, song titles and shots of individual group members at various points, drawing everyone into the event in a big way.  There were also copious amounts of confetti and pyrotechnics used throughout.  The songs were arranged perfectly to integrate the new music in with the old favorites and kept just about the entire sold-out arena on its collective feet, screaming, for two hours.  The show opened with their current hit,”Single”, a duet with R&B sensation Ne-Yo that is smooth as all get out.  Other new songs that resonated with the capacity crowd were “2 in the Morning” and “Dirty Dancing”, which is insanely catchy if you can ignore the lyric, “She’s like Baby, I’m like Swayze”.
