| Jordan Knight leaving Masonic Temple - March 2011 |
New Kids on the Block member Jordan Knight is currently in Toronto on a Canadian Music Week media blitz promoting new single Let's Go Higher and his forthcoming Album due later this year. Knight has done interviews by the many during his stay in the City for outlets like PROUD-FM, KISS 92.5, CHUM-FM, CTV's eTalk and The Marilyn Denis Show, among many others. One right after the other.
Knight did a showcase tonight at CHUM FM's Fanfest, held at the Masonic Temple where about 20 or so female Fans awaited his exit from the venue just before midnight in the cold. Teasing them slightly, he poked his head out the door by Fans calling out his name. Finally when he left the venue, he made it clear to Fans: "I can't stop Guys", gesturing with his hands "no" multiple times.
Of course, Fans were disappointed they couldn't get a Photo together with their Idol and one of his Handlers was nice enough even to collect Photos for him to sign in his vehicle, which Knight refused, handing them back unsigned.

Knight is scheduled to leave Toronto tomorrow and really should be a little more Fan-friendly, don't you think? It was a Fanfest after all, no?

He had the same attitude when I crossed paths with him back in the 90s during the promotion for his first album. He knows how this works, but doesn't seem to realize how bad promotion like this will impact him. To his defense, these are already fans, and I get that, but they will be the ones buying his record out of the box and telling their friends.
ReplyDeleteI've heard the same story over and over with him and your story just solidifies it more, John! In the rare occasion if you're one on one with him he'll do it.
ReplyDeleteHe should realize his fans are older now and aren't as crazy as they were as kids in the '90s...no need to be so guarded!
