We previously mentioned that New Kids On The Block and Backstreet Boys have a mashed-up greatest hits type thing on the way, to coincide with their co-headlining summer tour. And on this testosterone-packed collection of past-glory jams will be the brand new joint NKOTBSB single “Don’t Turn Out The Lights.” Give it a listen below!
We’re loving the fact that New York‘s Vulture blog is just as perplexed as we are over exactly who of the nine man band gents represented here is singing what. (“Who gets to sing lead on the chorus? What is the unspoken hierarchy?” the site ponders.) Because, honestly, who can tell?
Well, actually, we’re pretty sure we can hear Backstreet blond Nick Carter and New Kids’ resident lead vocalist Jordan Knight rather prominently throughout NKOTBSB’s upbeat “Poker Face”-esque dance-pop offering. And, trust—by comparing to “Poker Face,” we’re not aiming to demean “Don’t Turn Out The Lights” in any way. After all, we’ve already played the damn thing four times in a row!
File this one under Guilty Pleasure Of The Week. [*Whispers*: And bring on the tour!]

What do you think of supergroup NKOTBSB’s “Don’t Turn Out The Lights”?
More guilty than liking all three JLo singles?
If you grew up a fan of both, you can totally differentiate and tell who is singing!!
Aiya I feel so old now!
I love this song so much! So amazing. I cannot wait to see it live in Philadelphia on the NKOTBSB tour! <3
Love love love! I’ll always be a boy band kind of girl, haha!
I can tell for sure when BSB is singing since I have spent thousands of hours listening to every song they have ever done. I don’t know NKOTB as well but I think I can tell when Jordan,Donny, and Joey are signing. I suppose a die hard NKOTB fan would be able to pick out Jonathan and Danny as well. Either way awesome song they all sound great together can’t wait to hear it live
This is an epic song and I can’t wait to hear it live in July! I love BSB and can tell who is singing.
Agrees
I’m surprised by how good this sounds.
