They're Not New, They're Not Kids, and Maybe Not Even An Editon Anymore, But We'll Take It!
Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 7:50 AM on July 2, 2008
It's a crappy world out there. The economy is in the pooper, oil is a million dollars a barrel, fires are raging out of control, and don't even get me started on other countries. But just when you think things are too bleak for words, life provides you with a little nugget of awesomeness. And today that nugget is the New Kids on the Block recording a song with New Edition! "But how can this be?" you ask. "I checked my watch and it's not the 1980s!" Well, thanks to the magic of reunions, the two reigning boy bands of our youth have joined forces and are making sweet music together (tragically sans Bobby Brown).
Why is this so monumental? Well, back in the day New Edition and NKOTB hated each other. New Editon was all, "We've been around longer and we're actually better, but they get all the attention because they're white." But now, careers have faded, bank accounts have thinned, and the hatchet has been buried. To celebrate their new found friendship, the two bands have recorded a track called "Full Service," and according to writer RedOne (who?), "It sounds very universal and melodic and has both sides in it: The R&B, which is New Edition and the pop side for New Kids. It's very uplifting. Right away you start feeling good and every part feels natural to each one of the guys." People Magazine added that that everyone "munched on sushi in the studio and the guys prayed together before recording." How cute!
Still no word on a release date for this sure-to-be-classic track, but go ahead and take a deep breath. That's what a masterpiece smells like.

This is going to launch a dangerous trend. Next thing you know 98 Degrees will be collaborating with Boyzone. Although if Take That and Robbie Williams reconcile, I am so there.

1) NKOTB are whack. 2) I just got that New Edition cd a month ago.

I guess this means that by 2028 the Backstreet Boys and N'Sync (less JT) will get together to meditate, eat tacos, and record their new song "Do It Yourself." Lou Pearlman should be out of jail by then.

Can we get them all together with Menudo and form an international boy band supergroup? Or would the overwhelming amount of hair product and colorful jackets in one place cause some sort of brain rupture?

Were they praying, or just doubled over after munching on sushi? I fear the groans we'll hear on the recording may not be of a sensual nature.

Well, once Bel Biv DeVoe reconciled with New Edition on their tour, I thought there wasn't much further to go. How wrong I was.

@kookla: Whatever they said, whatever they did, they didn't mean it - they just want to be back for good (Want to be back/want to be back/want to be back for good).

NE never hated NKOTB. They were both created by the same managers!

A group of eager young fashionistas are set to take the stage in Grand Rapids, Mich, when they are told their show is being cancelled to make way for a hot new group. "Some guys called New Kids On The Block," the cold, heartless nightclub manager says.
NKOTB took my gig. For that they must pay!

it's stuff like this why i want to throw in the towel and give up record producing. this is going to rip a hole in the time-space continuum for sure.
...it's also going to make a lot of money. wished i had produced it.
