Jordan Knight (New Kids on the Block) and Deborah (aka Debbie) Gibson Say Hello to the Charts

Wednesday July 26, 2006

If you grew up in the late 1980's there's a good chance you had photos of one or both of this pair somewhere on your bedroom wall. Jordan Knight was one of the key vocal members of the granddaddy of today's boy bands, New Kids on the Block, and Debbie (Deborah) Gibson was the coolest teen singing sensation in years. Now, 18 years or so after their heyday as teen pop stars, Jordan Knight and Deborah Gibson have gotten together for a single, "Say Goodbye." It's hot, too. This week it is the 3rd most added song at adult contemporary radio, and it will be featured on Jordan's new collection of Love Songs (including such classics as "One More Night," "Careless Whisper," and "Waiting for a Girl Like You") due in record stores September 12, 2006. Head over to Jordan Knight's official website to hear the new single.

Hey – Jordan, take it from a HUGE NKTOB fan in my early teen years, YOU ROCK. You are one of the best choreographers, dancers and singers out there and if anyone wants to poke fun at you guys going back on tour, shove the stadium sell outs in their face and tell them they can talk to me! You are so talented, keep doing what you’re doing and take care of those boys. Love ya.
