what a perfect tribute. without michael, there would not have been the jackson 5. without the jackson 5, no new edition. without new edition, maurice starr would not have had the idea to form a crossover singing group, and we would not have had NKOTB, and the modern boy band or any of the pop culture "sensations" that still grace the covers of teen magazines today. It all started with a cute little boy with a big voice named Michael Jackson. Well done, NKOTB. Well done.
MJ and NKOTB were apart of my childhood, and sad to see MJ gone. I would have the same effect on NKOTB. Thank you guys for giving ur fans another run of our childhood.
What a great way to pay respects to such a great star...the king of pop. I made my parents play the Thriller tape over and over again in the car at 4 yrs old...asked for a white glove for Xmas,..practiced the moonwalk and looked up to him growing up. NKOTB..sweet guys! Love you! Saw you in ATL past two tours!
I miss you michael. I can remember when I was little dancing to this song and do the dances he did. R.I.P Mj.. You were a true legend. You know wherever you are now is fun because it's a huge dance floor now. R.I.P. Mj!
Hey, DTE my hometown! This is a great tribute to Michael. The fans really into it. It continues to amaze me how truly influential Michael was to people in music. I don't know of anyone who awakened a love of music in so many people. He reached so many hearts, and I think that's why we're still aching so much over his loss. Thank you for showing that love, KNOTB!
I sing in the choir at my school and on MJ's birthday, we did a tribute to his music. One of my friends sang I'll be there. Her dad died the day before and tha twas one of his favorite songs and a lot of the audience knew this. Needless to say there wasn't a dry eye in the crowd.
I´m 30 years old an this guys were loved by all teenagers (girls) in the earliest 90' in Portugal!!!! They still sing together???? It's good to remember ... 16 years ago!!!! Love from Portugal
this is lovely. thank you to NKOTB "I know I have a heart, because I can feel it breaking."- Wizard of Oz (Tin Man?) "heavy-hearted" is a good way to put it
New Kids grew up in a time where you needed to have talent and ability to sing and dance to make it just like Michael Jackson. This tribute was great and made fans no matter what their age remember why we liked them both. Thanks for the post.
That was so nice of them! I was at their last concert before the Detriot one in Cleveland on 6/23 and it's so weird thinking Michael was alive living his normal life that night. RIP Michael.
OH WOW i am frozen right now and then tears fall down,i didnt know NKOTB sang there. nkotb and MJ was my biggest idols as 8 and up,80s-90s-LEGENDS,i feel old now 26 soon 27
Such a tragic loss WE ARE ALL SUFFERING right now! New Kids You really paid a beautiful tribute to such a Music Icon. I'm so shocked and saddened ! MICHAEL JACKSON WE LOVE YOU 1958-2009 YOU'RE MUSIC FOREVER WILL LIVE IN OUR HEARTS
Gotta give credit to them (nkotb and kevin) for getting this together so quickly. This concert in Detroit, was the same day that MJ passed away. Everyone in nkotb is a huge fan of his.. this had to be really hard for them! It turned out beautifully!
It was a great touching video of the tribute of Michael Thanks for posting thanks to the new kids also it really moved me to see them all crying about him
This is awesome footage! The kindness that lives in the hearts of all 5 guys never ceases to amaze me. What a wonderful way to pay respect for all MJ has offered up to the world of music.
This is so awesome that they did this !! I grew up listening to both Michael and New kids!! RIP Michael! Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us!
That totally made me cry. I am deeply saddened that he is gone. But I agree that now we need to celebrate his life, and the amazing contributions that he gave us while he was on this earth. Thank you for putting together such a great tribute.
I'm so glad you got this on video! I was there in front and it was the most amazing moment. The whole night is surreal to me, one of those times where you'll remember exactly where you when something happened. I will always remember being with my "5 brothers" and their wonderful band when the world lost an amazing talent. RIP Michael, you will always be remembered!
Thanx New Kids On The Block for this tribute to The king Of Pop, Michael Joseph Jackson. I really do think that he would love this. Meaby i speak for all the fans of him out Holland (where i live) respect for this perfomance NKOTB! May Michael live in the hearts of everyone who just loved adored his music and him as a person. Respect for The king Of Pop, R.I.P. Micheal Joseph Jackson (August 29,1958 - June 25, 2009) With warm regards to everyone who misses him, take care; Monique (33)
Thanks menvael for posting, awesome footage. I had tix for NKOTB Australian Tour which was cancelled a few days before Michael left us, I also had tix for MJJ's first London show. :-( We were meant to fly out this week. Thanks NKOTB for showing respect to the King Of Pop.
Im so jealous you go to hear them sing I'll Be There live. I've loved their rendition of this song since the PPV's back in the day. Thanks for posting!
Thank you for recording this at the New Kids concert and sharing it with us! And thank you, New Kids, for the wonderful tribute to MJ! I grew up listening to both you and Michael as a little girl, and still declare myself a fan of you both! ^_^. ~~Bee
That was so beautiful, a moment I only wish I could have been there for. We lost the king of pop, the greatest entertainer of all time, but his legacy lives on in all of us, and you guys reminded us of that. peace and love to you all! RIP Michael. you will be missed.
Aww thx for posting this for the fans who couldnt be at the show! And Guys thats soo sweet of you to do that for MJ. we know he was your idol! RIP MJ!!
NKOTB are best! They give all that they can. They loved Michael too, as we all did. I wish I could of been at this show. Maybe they will keep doing the tribute throughout the rest of the US tour. Simply Amazing! RIP Michael!!!
never been a fan of these dudes but this is maybe the best MJ concert tributes I've seen on youtube. the ones on stage are just humble and letting the crowd take it... Good job Detroit! I'm feelin the L.O.V.E Peace (is coming)
You guys are awesome for doing that, made me cry. This is y u guys r still the best band ever. I have loved u guys from the start, and im still loving u. Keep it going. HUGS AND KISSES.
Very nice. Celebrating his life will be more meaningful to him than mourning that he's gone. Just like he said, he dedicated his life to his work and wants it to live on. Love you NKOTB!!
It is so iery that you did this tribute one year before the day he died exactly. I am shocked and sadden by the loss of Michael Jackson. Thanks to NKOTB for doing this for Michael before this tragic loss we've had had of a legend.
Being there was incredible and also very emotional, it just was unreal, and to be in motown it just made it more special. Man in the mirror played by Rob Young, keyboardist They had very little time to put that montage together. Throughout the show little tributes abound. White gloves, armbands, breaking out in Michael's songs. What a night indeed!
