It was a boot cut jeans and kitten heel slide in sandals hostile takeover at the Scottrade Center Friday night. That’s right, the soccer moms reverted back to their mall rat days for a few hours to holler at the top of their lungs and profess their love for Joey, Jordan and the rest of the New Kids on the Block. The bleached blonde bang gang came out of retirement – and it was everything! The only thing is these women had no idea that you have to ease into getting turned up. I really hope that man in the pajama pants toting kids in nightgowns and a onesie found his wife. I’m willing to bet the security guard never in his life expected to be approached by a toddler holding a teddy bear saying, “Excuse me, officer, have you seen my mommy?” I know y’all came to hear about the show, but those ladies making the most of their one night of freedom gave me the giggles through and through. Okay, okay … on with it. The good news about “The Main Event” starring New Kids On The Block is that two-thirds of the show was good. Nelly and his twerk team started off pretty strong. It takes a certain type of crowd – let’s just say mainstream – to truly show how big Nelly’s records were. Those folks knew all the words! Okay, now for the tragedy that was the TLC performance. Before I start, let me give a shout out to the STL natives in their dance crew that repped for the city. Sadly, all the pop, drop and lock in the world couldn’t have salvaged that show – even though Chilli was working her heart out. NKOTB was another story. They’re faces were a bit weathered, and Danny looked like a bite-sized Lou Ferrigno, but if somebody told me they were in a bomb shelter for five years non-stop getting their act together I would have believed it. They could have saved me 30 minutes by not singing every song in the history of music, but it was still a great show.
