I'm doing a two-night #TeenIdolsWeek New Kids On The Block special! (I didn't do a full week for them, because I still want all of you to be my friends - ha!)
They were, and still are, my first loves. I was 11 when I first heard "Please Don't Go Girl" in the summer of 1988, and my world changed forever.
Tonight's song is a remix of the song "Games" from the Step By Step album. The song is a direct response to the people who made fun of them (and their fans) - Donnie calls them "nonbelievers." When it was released, it was pretty revolutionary - they were standing up for themselves, and it's actually a really fantastic song.
I'm learning to adopt this attitude - trying to live with integrity in a world engulfed in phoniness. And not allowing people to devalue me. And not wasting my time with things that don't contribute to my life in a positive way. I've lived that way for far too long, and I'm done.
I hope that this song gives you a sense of empowerment as well :)
