Bieber to channel NKOTB with next albumLooks like Justin Bieber's next album will have all the right stuff—the teen idol's tunes will be inspired by '80s boy bands like New Kids on the Block. Music producer Jim Jonsin, who is working with the singer on his upcoming album, tells MTV the songs will have an old-school flavor. "For Bieber, I think I want to reach back to New Edition, those days," he says, adding that he also hopes to emulate another Beantown band. "I want to try to do something like that — 'Please Don't Go Girl,' New Kids on the Block — because the girls would go crazy."
But Jonsin makes it clear that Bieber won't be covering the NKOTB track, which appeared on the group's 1988 album "Hangin' Tough." "Maybe not that song," he says, "but something that feels like that: little bit of soul, R&B, but pop as well."

Cooties are gross! Last year I sat behind a girl in homeroom and Im sure I catched them from her. My arms itched for a week. My mom had to put clalmime loshun on me and all my friends laffed beacuse of the pink spots.
You know, i was just thinking. Is it just me or do most of the trolls on here act like they think girls (or boys, as the case may be) are icky and worry about getting cooties?
You too charlie. And a happy fourth to all, even the trolls!

And since i have no reason to lie, it aint eleven inches, but a respectable seven and a half. Good enough to get the job done. And i am a gentleman, so ladies always come first.

But trolls are mean,I'm probably just getting a reprieve today. You're annoying as he!!, troll, but I forgive you cause you're a troll! You can't help yourself, it's all in that troll DNA!!
Yea,to few men but I'm getting my share.

NKOTB is for No Knockin' On The Biebs! He's got hella fans, they'll get you!
Oh, tiffanni troll, I don't lie, & I'm very proud of my achievements. 30 yrs as a nanny, & singer/songwriter& a hot blue eyed brunette who both dudes&chicks wanna get with! Any more questions?!?

@ troll fernace, hilarious! But I'm not an old prune face. I'm a hot blue eyed brunette & both boys & girls wanna get with me & I love trolls! Even those making fun of me!!
You trolls would love to get humped it's so obviouse.
I wish he would channel some talent.
Justin Bieber is the new king of POP.HOPE his New album is bigger and better than thriller.
I saw a big article about Justine in Rolling Stone magazine. That is a mag for dried up ol prune faced hippy chics like me. Anyways it said Justine is going to be big!
I want to get into Justines pants. She is a little hottie.
I'm not gonna lie, she is pretty cute
i've heard people talking about her. Everyones saying she's going to be the next Debbie Gibson
I think all you trolls are not so secretly In Love!!
It's so hard to keep up with all the up and coming female singers nowadays. I'm glad the list of vocal women keeps growing & growing. Makes me feel great to be a femaile too! I wish you the best Justine! GIRL POWER!!!
It seems some are threatened by the Biebs for some reason. He Is an attractive kid.......My suggestion is to tour with some boy bands next summer, like; the Jacksons as MC's,New Edition, Menudo,New Kids, Boys to Men,Jodeci,Color Me Badd,Silk,Shai,Back St.Boys,98degrees, Barrio Boys,All 4 One,N'Sync, Dru Hill, Jagged Edge,Next, etc. That would be so cool! Kind of a "back to the future" theme!!
I wish this young woman the best on her career in music
I have never heard of this young lady before, but she has pretty features & looks like a pretty voice to match & I'm sure she will mature into a nice woman someday
She is kinda purty. Her booobs are too lil for me though. Maybe shell fill out when she gets older.
What band did she sing in? Wasn't she in Lilith Fair?
Who is she the daughter of again?
WOW this chick is GORGEOUS! She is so cute & dainty, just how I like my women!
Why did Alyssa Milano cut her hair so short?
i think it would be really neat to have new kids on the block albums covered from a young womans perspective
Young lady, you have a very feminine face. You should compliment it more with a luxorious hairstyle. You should not have a boys haircut, you are way to beautiful than that. Please let your hair grow out, it will look beautiful in an evening gown.
WHO IS THIS CHICK? SHE LOOKS LIKE A YOUNG CANADIAN GYMNAST. SHE IS VERYPRETTY. DOES SHE HAVE A FACEBOOK?
Well, OK, then its not really going to be his music? Damn.....
i would like more information on this Justine Beeber. She looks very pretty & obviously moisturizes her flawless skin. She has the lips of raw, untouched bacon. She has the eyes of a chocolate bunny & I would like to nibble on her ear.
VERrrry funny.
HER EYES ARE BEAUTIFUL & HER SKIN IS PERFECT. MMMMMM I AM IN LOVE.
Man this chick is hot. I'd so hit that !!!!
I thought that was a photo of a young janet reno
No Way!! I didn't know Mary Lou Retton had a singing career!!
Dude get this straight there is nothing R&B about you pop kids.
Biebs probably will not do Hangin tough because Donnie Wahlberg called stated "Listen you little fruit salad. You destroy hanging tough and it your ass." and abrutly hung up on the biebs.
you'd think that if donnie told him its your ass, the biebs would have been a little more interested
Hangin' Tough, lol! Man the eighties were great even if some of the stuff from back then is uber-cheesy.
