European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - June 9, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse The new kids Are Back the new kids concert was great i loved the Way the kids danced and Sang. I loved it when the kids threw soul infers. I loved the Way the kids looked and when Jordan and Donnie went into the crowd. I loved the songs they Sung and i loved it when they threw their shirts into the crowd. I liked it when the kids Sung i la be Loving you forever and the crowd held up these lights. I hated the pushing and shoving. I hated it when they did t sing please Don t go girl. I hated it when the concert ended. I hated it when i touch the new kids hands. All in All the new kids concert was the greatest thing in the world.

Quot was the chant inside the Frankfurter fest Halle. The place was packed with fans the majority of female gender dressed in ripped jeans to shirts Low Cut tops. The a heat was tremendous burning just As Strong As the excitement Felt in the air. 7 of clock Sharp lights were dimmed music began to play they stepped out a new kids on the Block teen age idols of the 1990s. It was time. During the whole concert onlookers were captivated. They belted out songs and performed Cool dance Steps with great ease. They smiled flirted and pointed at their favorite girl s. It was just too much for Many Quot i need want love you Quot girls screamed with tear streamed faces before fainting. Whether Kotb truly realizes it or not they have the Power to Render audiences helpless. They might not be Here tomorrow but Well never forget them. Patricia de Vera 15, Friedberg West Germany 14 a a a the stars and stripes it was May 4, 1990 in a big fest Halle in Frankfurt West Germany. The five hardest working kids in Showbiz were about to perform. The concert was great because i saw the Boston babes. But some things weren t quite right. First Danny Wood one of the Boston babes was not there because he sprained his ankle due to a fan throwing a stuffed animal up on stage. What a Bummer then they did t sing please done to go girl my favorite song. I was crushed. And last the concert was too Short Only an hour and 10 minutes on the other hand it was Cool because they Sang songs from their old album and did those Pelvic thrusts which turn me on i gotta Tell they also have some sexy bodies How do i know Well Donnie Jordan and Joe took their shirts off and threw them into the crowd. Make me sweat All i gotta say is new kids Are some Fine Boston babes. Kelly Gulyas 14, Heidelberg West Germany the lights went Down and they started the beat though it Cost me a lot i stay in my seat id waited for months what seemed like years. Then i saw them and my eyes filled with tears i screamed i cried i laughed and sighed. To get closer i really tried. The babes from Boston were really Rad All Danny s fans were very sad when his Mike stood empty at Center stage. But my heart jumped High. As Donnie moved i was in a rage. Donnie looked like a dream As he Sang cover girl and i wished he was singing just to me. From Row 27 i was just too far to reach my very favorite Rock Star i walked to the end of the Olympia Halle flashed Donnie a peace sign and i know he saw my to shirts posters hat buttons and More Are All around me As i remember that super Fine Day when i wanted to stay to hear More music see More moves and see the new kids that have the right stuff. Teresa Leighton 11, Neu Ulm West Germany the new kids on the Block concert will probably be a concert that i will remember forever but it won t be my favorite. I loved seeing the new kids in person and hearing their voices but the bad Points of the concert outnumbered the of All i expected the concert to last at least 2 hours but it lasted Only about an hour and a half at the most. There was no opening act and they did no to even sing a whole album. I can understand under the circumstances Danny a sprained ankle that they were unable to sing Many of the songs but most people let a sprained ankle get in the Way of an engagement. I have even heard of singers still singing in a concert even though they were going hoarse. The Best thing about the concert was the friendliness some of the people at the concert showed. People were helping others they did no to know while there were others that cared Only about getting closer to the new kids. The new kids on the Block Are still my favorite group though because first impressions Arentt always the Best.

Unfortunately i was one of the unlucky ones who was taken to the Hospital and did t even get to see the concert. The wild screaming crowd crushed me to the Point where i could not breathe. Id like to share with you the thoughts of friends who did get to see the concert. One Friend said that she did no to think she got her Money a Worth because the concert was too Short and the Kotb Cut some of their songs. Also she did t like How rude and uncontrollable people were. Another Friend did t care How Short the concert was or How rude people were she just wanted to see her favorite group.

I Felt sorry for poor Danny when i heard he sprained his ankle. Jordan did a wonderful Job of singing ill be Loving you.

Donnie then brought out Jon and introduced him As a great Kisser in the states. Joe my favorite i love him really Sang so beautifully. I kept my eyes on him the whole time. In a still in Shock about seeing him live. I hated to go. The concert was wild but soon much fun. Holly Rodgers 13, Darmstadt West Germany dreams do come True. May 4, 1990 we left for the concert at 07 00 am. When we arrived there were about 30 people in line. I knew that i should get close to the front. We finally went in at 17 45, front Row. New kids on the Block started singing people were passing out but i Hung in there until my Friend had to leave then i said i want out too. When they pulled me out the Kotb manager said i want her to go on stage. My heart was beating fast and i started to cry my dream came True. I went on stage As Donnie was singing cover girl he kissed me and i kissed and hugged him. He then ripped his face on my Kotb to shirt that shirt will hang on my Wall and never be washed. So for this 10-year-old girl Kotb was Quot super Daralee Futch 10, Baum older West Germany a i thought the new kids on the Block concert was the Best i be Ever seen it was my 1st concert As Well in a telling you when Jordan Donnie and Joe took off their shirts at the end of the concert in Munich i thought i d die because they were soon wonderful when they Sang did t i blow your mind i Felt like going up to Jordan and giving him a big hug but that was kind of hard because i was sitting Down in Section r and the sections went All the Way to a when Donnie asked All of us Quot do any of you girls out there know How to kiss Quot i was like Quot Heck yeah Quot and when Joe said i m looking for a girl All around the world and the Only thing you have to do is treat me right i loved him so much at that moment i just want to Tell the new kids thank you very much for making this the Best concert in my life Cindy Rush 13, sorg Hof West Germany a parents View we also received several letters from parents who had gone to see the new kids on the Block with their children. The following by sgt. Robert Ewing or. Of Furth West Germany perhaps Best expresses what the parents had to say. We attended the May 5th concert in Munich. The girls received their tickets As birthday gifts and being concerned parents i would not let three girls aged 10, 9 and 7 attend a Rock concert unescorted. My wife had carefully read All the latest teen magazines and relayed All the information to me so we both could be prepared As to what to expect. We carefully reviewed All the videos we could find and discovered Quot hey these Guys Arentt too just to be sure we located All our girls tapes and carefully reviewed the lyrics. Quot these Guys Are actually pretty before we went to the concert i Laid out three easy rules 1. No sweaty Palms 2. No passing out 3. No wetting your pants excitement will do that to you you know. We arrived about two hours Early Only to find the line was already forming. We braved it out and got Lucky enough to get right up front. With my 7-year-old on my shoulders the 9-year-old on the rail and my 10-year-old and my wife fighting the crowd to see the concert began. The scream was deafening. The girls screaming was louder than the actual concert. Girls were crying and passing out and just generally having a great time. Then they put my 9-year-old on stage and Donnie Sang cover girl. When they brought her Back she almost broke All three rules at the same time. Her Only words were Quot Donnie kissed me Quot and i thought total hysteria went out with the beatles. Talk about Quality family time. The new kids on the Block were great and Well be hanging Tough til we can All go see them again. Sgt. Ewing would like to know if anyone has pictures of his daughter on stage with new kid Donnie Wahlberg. If so just Send a copy to the stars and stripes. Well be sure to get it to him.
