I am confused… lol. They’re doing a “first look” on a video thats been out for HOW LONG?
July 30th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
It’s about time! I have been leaving messages on their website for months trying to get it on. I know it will become number one! Love you guys!
July 30th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
Well, at least they played like two minutes of it anyway! LOL I agree w/Miss Ava though, I didn’t know MTV still played videos!
Glad you guys are getting more airplay, that’s always a good thing!!!

Thanks again for a GREAT weekend guys! You were amazing (as usual) and the tracks you previewed were HOT!

It’s about FREAKIN time!!! Here it is 14 years later and YOUR still not getting the RESPECT YOU deserve!!! But YOUR fans LOVE YOU!!!!!!! ALWAYS!!!
July 30th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
LOL Ummm…they’re a little late to the party aren’t they?!
Oh well, some people just take longer to catch on.
July 30th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
It’s about time!! Maybe MTV is coming to their senses and seeing that NKOTB is back and on FIRE!
July 30th, 2008 at 12:38 pm
Cool!! About time they showed you some love!! We’ve always had the love for y’all!

Lucky for me I’m home this afternoon so I get to watch it! Yay!!!
I haven’t watched TRL in…well, never. I want to make snarky comments about TRL…I really do. But I won’t because it’s still exciting (even though we’ve been voting our little butts off to keep Summertime @ #1 on VH1 for hella weeks now).
Congratulations my sweet sweet men, and kisses by the millions to you all!

Too bad MTV Canada sux…we don’t get TRL. Since when did MTV start showing videos again?? The Hills getting too boring for their viewers??
July 30th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
Ahh I just missed it. Just came home and read this.
Great news though.

Wow….wait a minute….am I having a true 80’s flashback here…MTV SHOWING an ACTUAL VIDEO?!! And it’s the New Kids?! Couldn’t be possible…must be all that Aqua Net hairspray from 1988…..
July 30th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
i have to buy something to record..lol..i only have vhs..i have old vhs from you …but i need to buy something…i have mtv so when you guys appear..i can record..but..im saving some money..this time ..if you come to Europe..i swear i will see you guys!!
July 30th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Ok Thats Cool Its About Time MTV Got Up On That Summertime Tip. What Tuck Em So Long? I’ll Be Tvoing It So I Can See It Over And Over And Over Again. The First Time I Sow Summertime On VH1 I Stayed Up Till 7am Playing It Over And Over Again. I Was So Happy To See My Boys Again That I Didnt Know What To Do And I Love The Song.
July 30th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
Congratulations on getting on to MTV! That’s a tough egg to crack…
…although I am getting quite pissed off now with European Television - well actually just the Dutch channels! Summertime is now on some playlists in the UK which I can see online, but STILL there is nothing in the Netherlands…
…I have this twitch in my right eye that is getting progressively worse whilst I wait for the video to appear on MTV or TMF….
…NEW KIDS PLEASE RELIEVE ME OF MY ANXIETY EYE TWITCH…
…..RELEASE THE EUROPEAN DATES ALREADY!!!

See you in October!

Oh no!!! I am still at work. Let me see if I can see anything from their
website. Congratulations any way. “Summertime” is a great song, video and
you all look and sound great in both. Keep up the good work. I cannot
wait until I get the whole album. Quit making us act like crazy
teenagers. I bet you cannot believe the affect you have had on us.
See you in New Orleans.
Love,

Ok, I found this on my facebook. I know it has nothing to do with this topic, but it’s really cute:
NKOTB [10 Commandments]
Well, as to everything in life there are always rules to follow…things that are appropriate to do and things that are just downright “nasty”!! If you want to be the #1 NKOTB fan on your block…just make sure to follow these 10 commandments and they certainly will lead you to the “promised land”!!!
Commandment #1
> Thou shalt have none other groups before thee! If NKOTB is the one, then I don’t want to see BSB posters in your bedroom! Got it? Good!!
Commandment #2
> Thou shalt not act like a lunatic and stalk the guys taking unwanted pictures of them. This includes the members, family, friends, lovers, etc. Respect people!
Commandment #3
> Thou shalt never…and I repeat..never deny being an NKOTB fan! If you take their name in vain…thou shalt be cast from the garden of NKOTB!!
Commandment #4
> Once a fan…always a fan! If you “forget” about NKOTB you have committed the worst crime..you have killed the NKOTB spirit!! You are a non-believer!
Commandment #5
> If your favourite is Joe today, then it will remain Joe until the end of time. Thou shalt not give your heart to another member! Let us cast the 1st stone!
Commandment #6
> If your girlfriend loves Jordan, then chose someone else! Thou shalt not steal your girl’s man!
Commandment #7
> If you don’t have anything good to say about NKOTB then just keep your trap shut!
Commandment #8
> You’re in the NKOTB house now…don’t dare step into the BSB house…that’s warning number 2!
Commandment #9
> Spend six days a week listening to today’s music if you want…but just remember to spend at least one day a week just chillin’ with your NKOTB music and memories!!
Commandment #10
> Lastly, let’s keep NKOTB sacred in our hearts…and pass down the word from generation to generation…keep them alive!!!!!

July 30th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
Thanks for posting this like an hour before the video. Hmmm…whatever. Glad MTV finally got in the ballgame, I guess they took a break from The Real World to actually post VIDEOS! BTW when are we getting our NKOTB.com boards back!
Thanks

So glad to hear that everyone is ok. We had an earthquake in Illinois a view months back and the only other one I’ve ever experienced was in Georgia of all places, but it was so small I thought it was a big truck until I found out otherwise. The one here was pretty big and it was in the middle of the night and when I live by a railroad track and I woke up and thought, wow that train is really loud and shaking the house more than usual. Then when it got worse I was like, OMG, that’s not a train, that’s a *&%$#^ earthquake! You worry about after shocks and more earthquakes for awhile. Then when one doesn’t happen for some time you forget…until the next one happens! Always afraid it’s going to be the big one! :(. I guess Californians are used to it?
July 30th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
Crap. WAs trying to post in the Jon update blog! Must be blonde today! After so many comments I can’t get into the log in. Please disregard and if possible delete my comment made at 8:05 PM regarding earthquakes on the MTV post!
July 30th, 2008 at 8:14 pm
I missed seeing Summertime on TRL, but I am so happy it has made MTV! You go guys!
July 30th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
What!? MTV eating their words!?
I knew they would!
NKOTB!!! Keep keepin’ on!
July 30th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
Although i am extremely happy that MTV will air this so the video and music gets out there, im kinda confused why it took so long. i dont know about any of you and where youre from but DETROIT wont even play any of their songs on the radio and believe me i asked and bitched them out cause they wouldnt. I think we need to have some kind of petition for all the radio stations who outright refuse to play their music! What do you all think??? some feedback would be great!!!
July 30th, 2008 at 9:37 pm
Well IT’S ABOUT TIME MTV!!!!! But darn it I missed it!!!!! I am from the Detroit are too and am frustrated with the radio stations……when the next “Single” comes out, they will HAVE to play it because it is AWESOME!!!!!
July 30th, 2008 at 9:45 pm
awww dang it i was at work when it aired. that is awsome that it was played. Cant wait to see it when airs again. Much luv. see you in November in Portland.

Yeah..come on MTV! here in Asia only Channel [V] plays Summertime. But this does not stop Asian Blockheads. Summertime are now at the mainstream play list with Coldplay, Rihanna and our friend Ne-yo.
July 31st, 2008 at 4:08 am
Good morning to everyone, here it’s 12:48pm.
I listened Summertime and I can believe about the strong emotion it makes me feel. This song remind me the best summer of my life “Boston 1998″ it was the first time for a lot of things. It’s something special for me!!
A big kiss to you all!

just to repeat what was already said….
“It’s about time MTV.”
And regarding the NKOTB 10 Commandments: I broke #5. I feel bad, but I can’t help it. I’m sorry Joe! It has to do with #6. My bf’s fave was Donnie back in the day. I had a ’secret’ crush on him. Now I just can’t contain it! I feel better now that I’ve confessed…thanks.
lol
July 31st, 2008 at 7:18 am
Caught the TRL episode and showing of the video. My only complaint, WE CAN’T FREAKING VOTE FOR IT!!! Out of all the options that we have to vote for, NKOTB isn’t even on the list. I don’t know about anyone else but I’m going to continue to email trl and keep tryin to get it in the voting list. VH1 has it as the number 1 video, come on MTV, catch up, you’re missing the train!!!
OK, rant over, lol.
Seriously though, congrats guys and here’s the true test…my daughter. She heard the new songs and loves them, so yeah, you’ve gained the attention of the new generation of block heads to come! I love the new music, and so do the local radio stations, when we’re driving down the road we can flip stations and pick it up almost anytime so yeah your back!! Can’t wait to see you in Cleveland! I’ve devoted this whole paycheck to our VIP package for my bestest buddy and I! You’ll officially be my first concert ever and I am going balls to the wall including a hotel room for recovery after the concert.
nkotb is in my heart!

TRL….heck yeah! Wow! NKOTB is officially back, baby! You all have made the best choices about when to come back, the music, everything! I hope it’s everything and more than you wanted because we fans are truly enjoying the experience…
Okay, so I don’t have cable, but I’m hoping I can catch this somewhere on the net! I really don’t have time for t.v. but I always have time for NKOTB….
Congratulations! I’m so very proud of the five hardest working men in the biz! You all rock!
Much love,

Summertime has already premiered on MTV here in Brazil!! For introducing the girl said “Wanna know how they grown” and after the video “WOW, Best than ever!!” Couldn`t agree more
August 1st, 2008 at 3:41 am
WOW!!! It’s about time!!!! I guess they’re realizing what I wrote them long ago that a lot of people were going to want to watch them there & the album was going to be special. Congrats guys!Love you lots Mmmmwaaa ;). Gail

I was really hoping after all this time, you guys would step back into the picture. Don’t let me forget that I just turned 40 2 wks. ago.
August 7th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
I hope that its’ true. I was so disapointed when I did’nt see Summertime on the TRL list of videos. VH1 was playing it, but why MTV was not? MTV did’nt know what they are missing. I thought the video was amazing and song is amazing too. Hopefully if MTV will start playing the videos, you know very well I will vote like crazy!
