Well what can I say about this show that hasn't already been said? This was my 8th show and the first show in the UK. Jordan came on stage sometime after 12 at night. He wore his white vest with a white and blue pin stripe shirt and jeans. It had been six months since I saw him last and from seeing the new Promotional pics I just knew that he was going to look hotter than ever.
The songs that he sang were: Now You Know, Give It To You, Step By Step, I'll Be Loving You Forever, Please Don't Go Girl, If You Go Away LOL He forgot the words again but he's a sweetie so we will forgive him for that. He also sang Valentine Girl, Close Your Eyes, Your Man and Hangin Tough. Can't remember what else he sang it was a short set because the show started later than expected.
He put on a great show as he always does. The venue was a little small for the number of people that filled it. The stage was more of a step, there was a lot of pushing and shoving which caused some of the girls in the front to fall onto the stage. It was a little crazy but it was a great show. We were all singing along while Jordan was playing on the keyboard. As soon as he started the music to a New Kids song, we'd start singing before he did. At one point while he played the music we all sang along. He turned to Chad saying 'they won't let me sing.' LOL It was quite funny to watch.
After the show had finished a lot of people left. The JK-UK Street team went backstage for the meet and greet. Because the show had started late they kinda cancelled the meet and greet, but Chad allowed just the Street Team to meet Jordan. Before we went through to the meet and greet I'd dropped my camera and broke the battery compartment. I managed to fix is slightly but it wasn't sitting in properly. Anyway, we made our way to the meet and greet. The first five of the Street Team went and had their autographs and photos taken with Jordan. They came back looking a little shocked. LOL We'd thought something had happened. The rest of us all went up together and we formed a queue. Chad called Jordan down from where he was sitting and he came down and met all eight of us. Chad thanked us all for the hard work we did with handing out flyers and stickers to help promote the show and to help sell the show. We in turn gave Jordan our names as he signed autographs for us. Then one by one we had our pics taken. When it came to my turn, Jordan had thought he'd finished but Chad asked who hadn't had their picture taken - of course it would be me. I gave Chad my camera and had to explain to him that I'd dropped my camera and he would have to hold the bottom of the camera as well. Just as I was about to have my photo taken Jordan got distracted when Cookie had come in to hand him the birthday project. Chad told Jordan to do a quick turn, Jordan turned towards Cookie and I had to tell him, 'no, turn to me.' LOL He quickly turned to my direction and like dropped his head down on mine. A few seconds later he said 'Ouch.' Not that he'd hurt me. Maybe he head it hard than his. LOL Anyway Chad took my pic and said that it was like a Boyfriend/Girlfriend pic. LOL Chad handed my camera back and Jordan went and sat down. When I checked my camera I saw that the photo didn't take because it was broke. So I went over to Chad and showed him that the pic hadn't come out. He told me to set the camera up and I could get another taken. While the rest of the girls had left, I followed Chad up the stairs and to where Jordan was sitting. Chad told Jordan that he needed to take another pic because it hadn't come out. Jordan must have thought 'Oh her again. LOL' As I walked over Jordan said 'Hold on.' He brushed the seat next to him. I thought he was going to shift over so that I could sit down. But some guy came along with pics to be signed so I crouched down be the side of Jordan and just put my head against his arm. Chad tried to take the pic but it wasn't taking. So I helped Chad with the camera and got it working. I went back to Jordan and squeezed myself onto a small part of his seat and had my pic taken. It didn't come out the way I wanted it, because I wasn't even smiling properly. LOL, anyway I thanked Chad and Jordan, Jordan looked me in the eye and thanked me as well.
