JoJo: He's back finally the big stud, you guys give some love to Mr. Jordan Knight! (fans cheer) JoJo: Not bad Jordan: Not bad, I'm doing a lot better now JoJo: You can sign on and see him at kissfm.com.. Jordan: Oh shoot, I didn't see that JoJo: I hope you weren't picking your nose or anything... So, last time I saw you, we were trying to figure out the last time we hung out, it was either the last time you were in the studio here, or backstage at the Nsync show which I think was in Irvine Jordan: Yep, Irvine, I think it was at the Nsync show JoJo: So how have things been since then? Jordan: Great, I've traveled around the world with my record, I'm making a new one right now, and i should be done within a couple months. JoJo: With Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis? The whole album with those guys or a few tracks? Jordan: Um 6 to 7 tracks JoJo: How does is change when you have a producer with a certain sound like Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, I kind of associate them with Janet Jackson who is a big client of theirs. How does it change from producer to producer with the sound of your music? Jordan: Um, well each producer defiantly has their own sound, but each artist has something they want to bring to the producer to produce.... A lot of times I like to give my input, with the producers, most of the songs with Jimmy Jam I wrote with him along with this dude from LA named Robin Thicke who did a lot of stuff with me on my last album. So it's really the input of the artist working with the producer and the chemistry that makes it happen, and makes it different. JoJo: They produced "Give it to you" right, so if you didn't like them, you wouldn't have brought them back, so we expect good stuff from this next album too. Jordan: That's right. JoJo: You guys ready for Jordan's new album? (cheers) JoJo: Jordan's here taking your calls... it's JoJo on the radio, with my man Jordan Knight! break (Jordan kinda singing) "uh uh Jo Jo.. on the radio uh"... JoJo: Baby you know I can give it to you Jordan: Uh Uh JoJo: Hey Maris are you there? Maris and Maggie are you still on the phone? Maris and Maggie: Yea we're here JoJo: Say hi to Jordan Knight Maris and Maggie: Hello Jordan Jordan: Hello girls Maris and Maggie: I used to be a blockhead many moons ago JoJo: Now you're a JK head right? Maris and Maggie: He's so awesome yea JoJo: What do you want to ask him? Maris and Maggie: Are you going to be doing any performances in LA anytime soon? Jordan: Hopefully when my albums comes out, definitely I mean, with all the award shows here, and most likely I'll be touring. LA is a great city Maris and Maggie: Can you hook me up? JoJo: I'll tell you what's going on, I'll tell you all about it... because I'll be knee deep in Jordan Knight Maris and Maggie: Also can we have an autograph Jordan: Oh wait a minute that didn't sound right... as long as you're knee deep in me that's fine JoJo: Let me correct myself (plays prerecorded clip "Kiis fm would like to apologize, Jo Jo has f---ed up again, please stand by... we apologize for this inconvience, and now Jo Jo on the radio") JoJo: Sorry Jordan Jordan: That reminds me of a very funny story, I don't know if I should tell it though. JoJo: Tell it Jordan! You can't say that and not do it. Jordan: RuPaul on the radio he asked me... JoJo: He? I always though of her as a she? Jordan: Well he looked like a guy that day JoJo: No wig? Jordan: He says "You dance so well, do you have any black in you?" and I go "no" and he goes "Would you like some?" JoJo: So what did you say? Jordan: I said "No thank you!" JoJo: What's up say hi to the man that was proposed to by Ru Paul Oh my God, hi Jordan! Jordan: Hey, how are you? I'm fine how are you? Jordan: I'm great, a little traumatized, but alright JoJo: what did you want to say to Mr. Jordan Knight I have a friend, her name is Sandy, and she's like you're biggest fan, she's loved you since you were in New Kids on the Block, her birthday is coming up and it would just make her day if you could give her an autographed picture. Oh ok I can do that, her name is Sandy? You're gorgeous Jordan, thanks you baby *muh* Jordan: Aw that's so nice JoJo: I'm not sure if she's your number one fan, because we have a girl in here who has Jordan Knight's signature tattooed on her ankle, i mean permanent, like when she turns 80 years old she'll still have "Jordan Knight" tattooed on her ankle, although she's a hot one now, can you imagine that at 80 your name will still be there Jordan: Still there...in a different shape and different form, it'll be sexy JoJo: Later on well hold her ankle up to the Kiis cam and you can download Jordan's autograph off of her ankle, that would be kinda cool Jordan: I think you just wanna see her feet JoJo: Yea I'm into the toe thing, maybe some toes later on? I'm surprised you remember that, I'm touched dude I'm touched... Alright JoJo on the radio with the stud Jordan Knight... give Jordan some love... (break) JoJo: ... New album coming out, once again, the date, or goal date? Jordan: My goal date is January to have a single out... It's on the Interscope/Farmclub.com label, uea that's a long name I know. JoJo: That probably means you'll be doing some shows at FarmClub across the street Jordan: That's across the street? JoJo: It's not very far from here, it's with in 5 minutes Jordan: Yea and I'll get to meet Ally Landry.. ugh her feet are good JoJo: She's got nice feet (?) one up and one down... So maybe the night you do their show, you'll come over here and we'll get you all prettied up Jordan: I like that JoJo: Make sure your hair is combed and make sure the ladies approve before you go over there... What you guys think, does Jordan look good enough for Ally Landry tonight? (cheers) JoJo: Let me ask another question, does Ally look good enough for Jordan? (no's) JoJo: See you got some hard core fans in here. Ok one more question before we go on to #5 and I believe Natasha is that you? Natasha: Yes I can't believe this, Hi Jordan! Jordan: What's up woman! How are you doing? Natasha: I'm fine I was the biggest New Kids fan. How are you? Jordan: I'm great Natasha: Ok I have one question, I really enjoyed your remake of the Prince song, "I Could never take the place of your man" Jordan: Sure Natasha: And I want to know if you have plans for anymore remakes? Jordan: Um, I haven't even thought of any yet, all the stuff I'm doing is original stuff, it's kinda like the last album, it defiantly has an R & B flavor, but it has all kinds of different elements. Actually it's like, um on crack basically, the album is. JoJo: The album's on crack? That would be a good title for the album "Jordan Knight - Crack" Jordan: That's good! I've been searching for a title! Jojo, you never cease to amaze me! Natasha: Can I have an autographed picture too, my birthday just passed. Jordan: Sure, what's your name? Natasha: Natasha JoJo: Natasha hang on, it will be my responsibility to get the on crack signature on to you Natasha: Bye JoJo, bye Jordan JoJo: Bye Alright bro have you heard this song at #5 yet, this Shaggy track? Jordan: It wasn't me JoJo: You gotta introduce it, on the camera Jordan: It wasn't me JoJo: Introduce it bro Jordan: This is Shaggy's latest and greatest single, called "It wasn't me" JoJo: Alright Jordan I'm gonna give you an old magazine article that a lady just handed me in the studio, hopefully we can pop this on the internet later on, it's a picture of... Jordan Knight working out. What do you think of that dude? You still work out at all? Jordan: Um... ha ha ha... not with that intensity JoJo: Look at that face... Jordan: I actually remember doing that JoJo: Were you actually working out in that photo? Jordan: Well I was kinda fake working out, they were like "Can you work out with your shirt off" and back in those days I just did anything anyone asked me too JoJo: Ah what the heck, give me the weight machine I'll do it Jordan: Exactly JoJo: Alissa are you there? Alissa: what's up JoJo JoJo: Say hi to Jordan Knight Alissa: Hi Jordan, what's up baby? Jordan: I'm chilling Alissa: Are you on crack anymore? Jordan: Oh no I've never been on crack, my album is on crack, I'm not on crack Alissa: Oh ok, that's a good thing JoJo: We were talking off the radio how does it sound, and it's tough to describe the sound of an album with just words and I never really thought of that until 5 minutes ago Jordan: Well it's got a lot of, well when I say its on crack, I mean there is a lot of up tempo songs and a lot of intricate beats I guess JoJo: All original Jordan: All original so far JoJo: Maybe I should rephrase that, no remakes up to this point, and original beats, never mind I'm on crack too... what's your question for Jordan Knight? Alissa: I want to know how is it different performing by yourself, as opposed to performing with the other guys? Jordan: I actually thought it would be a lot different and a lot harder than it really is, but usually you just go onstage and you get caught up in the whole moment and the whole excitement. The one thing is if something goes wrong it's all on you, you can't fade into the background Jo Jo: You can't blame it on the other guys? Jordan: Exactly that's probably the tough part Alissa: Oh well that's cool, I just wanted to let you know I've been a fan of yours for the longest time. and all the money I spent on you back in the day and now is worth it, and I love you, and I hope your new album goes very well JoJo: You go girl Jordan: Thank you very much Alissa: And also can I get an autograph if you have a chance? Jordan: Oh yea, what's your name? Alissa: Alissa JoJo: Ok we'll get your address in a second Alissa: Thank you Jo Jo JoJo: Ok Jordan #4 it's top 5 at 9, it's time to do your job again, ready? Grab that piece of paper there Jordan: Oh? Can you say that on the radio? JoJo: You sure can, if you're Jordan Knight you can Jordan: I've never done this before, but this is Mystical, "Shake ya ass" (break) JoJo: Feel it Jordan, feel the love Jordan: I was feeling it on that last song, I was feeling that JoJo: Alright Jordan I hope you like Limp Biscuit cause "Rollin" is #3 Jordan: Rollin, Rollin, Rollin (break) Jordan: Jordan singing "Rollin, Rollin, Rollin..." JoJo: Jordan, before we jump into #2 we got emails from all over the world... and this girl is from Russia, and her English is not very good, because she's in Russia, here's her email "Hi there my name is Anna, I'm Jordan Knight's fan from Russia, I decided to write to you because Jordan will be on your show this week. To a huge regret, hardly I shall hear your program but I want Jordan to say hi to Anna in Russia which loves and remembers you for 10 years." Jordan: Wow, Anna, she might be watching over the internet JoJo: Give her a shout out Jordan: Anna in Russia.. What's up? JoJo: And another one from Argentina, "hi JO JO what's up, I'm Grace from Argentina, I'm a Jordan Knight lover..." Jordan: She's a lover? I don't remember that JoJo: "... he's doing an interview with you today " she wants to know 2 things, have you ever danced to Latin... Jordan: Naked? JoJo: Latin Music, or naked too? Jordan: Naked - yea I have JoJo: How about Latin music Jordan: both JoJo: You dance naked and with Latin music Jordan: it's fun JoJo: You know any Latin singers? Naked? Jordan: No not naked JoJo: (reading email again) And I want to say thanks to him and she'll always support you cause you're like one of the family Jordan: Ok tell mom we said hi JoJo: You're a stud, alright, #2, you went on tour with these guys, any memories from that tour? Jordan: Aw I can't say, that's top secret stuff. No they're actually really cool guys... JoJo: Chris is crazy, you know that right? Jordan: Chris... well they're all kinda crazy in their own way, but that's good. JoJo: Not as crazy as JK right? Jordan: Well I got more year though of being crazy. Anyhow, this is a great song "This I promise You" (break) More screams Jordan singing "Jo jo on the radio, now you know" etc... JoJo: Nancy is that you? Nancy: Hey this is Nancy from San Diego, I just wanted to say hi to JoJo and Jordan you guys are awesome Jordan: Where did you say you were calling from Nancy: I'm from San Diego, but actually all us girls are down stairs waiting outside kiisfm... I just have a question, Jordan - boxers or briefs? Jordan: Right now? Nancy: Right now Jordan: Aww man I'd have to check.. um um um.. briefs JoJo: I saw them, I'm looking at Jordan's underwear Nancy: So Jordan, are you going to come down and show us your briefs? Jordan: Uh it's kinda cold out not up here, but down there it's cold, it's shirvley down there JoJo: You don't want to ruin your reputation JoJo: Ok Crystal are you there? Jordan: Yea Oh my god I've been waiting forever, and hoping my phone wouldn't cut off so I could talk to Jordan because I love him so much JoJo: Ok don't say the f word and say hi to Jordan Knight Crystal: Hi Jordan Jordan: Hi how are you? Crystal: Good oh my god, I like idolized you when I was younger and I still own the sleeping bag, I got the greatest hits and I loved you, I used to imagine I'd marry you and I'm really not psychotic I swear I'm not Jordan: I was the same way with Princess Leia.. I had all the posters, sheets and a light saber JoJo: Did you see "Return of the Jedi" that outfit she had on, you know? Jordan: Oh yea, when she was chained to Jabba the Hut? Oh boy, oh that was good stuff. JoJo: But you had a fantasy to marry Jordan right? Crystal: Yes, me and my friends used to fight over him, saying he's my husband.. so it was a big war for Jordan because everyone loved him. Jordan: Will you marry me? Crystal: Oh yea, oh my god JoJo: You can be Princess Leia and he can be, well he is Jordan Knight Crystal: ... I remember back in the day reading an article and it said you were inspired by many different artists and you were inspired by the Stylistics and I know who they are and really like their music and I was wondering if you could... sing to me "You Make me Feel Brand New"? Jordan: Oh my goodness... (singing) "You make me feel brand new..." yea that's how that goes JoJo: Oh Dude Crystal: You are the bomb! Jo Jo: I can say I've been in the studio with Jordan the whole time, and you were recording before you got here right? Jordan: Yea Jo Jo: But he didn't rehearse at all since he's been here, how did your voice just kick into that Jordan: I don't know, I think it was adrenaline or something, I was a little nervous that my voice would crack, especially when you're singing falsetto, it tends to crack a lot if you don't warm up, but you put me on the spot Crystal: Ugh my fantasies have been fulfilled, you are the bomb, my knees are shaking and I'm getting a little weak JoJo: Put your head between your legs Crystal: I can't because of the steering wheel JoJo: Vanessa are you there? Vanessa, say hi to Jordan Knight on KIIS FM Vanessa: Hi Jordan, I'm your #1 fan regardless of what anyone else says. JoJo: It's Princess Leia! Jordan: My Princess Leia! Vanessa: I have 2 questions ok? The first on is if you weren't singing or performing, what would you have been? Jordan: I have no clue... I really... I don't know JoJo: Early in your career you were focused on what you wanted to do and there was no plan B Jordan: Right, exactly...I never thought of it, we started the band when I was 15 and that's around the time when you know, you are trying to figure out what you want to do or be in your life. I pretty much knew, like Jo Jo said there was no plan B JoJo: Some people just know early in life were they're headed, and that's a good thing, not that you have yo make a decision by 15 to be going somewhere, but Jordan's a stud what can we say....What's your question #2? Vanessa: I was going to ask you if you can get me autographs for me and my friend and my other friend? Jordan: Wow 3 huh? JoJo: Hang on a second don't move...We'll go to more calls in a second a long with the #1 song, Jo Jo's top 5 at 9. Dude, lets plug once again, because I want to make sure everyone knows you have a new album coming out. Jordan: Yes I do, it's I don't know the name of it yet JoJo: But your first option is "Jordan Knight... on crack" Jordan: Dot com JoJo: So this is your second solo "ablum" Jordan: Ablum ha ha JoJo: and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are some of the producers on it, and it's definetly... Jordan: Very fast paced music because I kinda think that's were music is going and everything is getting faster and faster. Plus I like to dance to fast music. JoJo: Well we got #1 coming up next with Jordan Knight... (break) JoJo: Jordan, are you ready to introduce the #1 song? Jordan: Yes I am JoJo: You're signing like a 1000 autographs and taking billion pictures, what a cool dude. So there are people lining up outside and you're taking pictures? Jordan: Yea, they all came down here JoJo: ...Jordan #1 JoJo's top 5 at 9 whenever you're ready Jordan: This next song is called "Shape of my ... (long pause) heart" (break) Jordan: Hey Jo Jo what is the deal with this toe fetish, are you some kind of freak or something? JoJo: So how do your toes look for all the ladies? Jordan: Jacked, I need a pedicure bad (break) Jordan: Hey Jo Jo, who are you voting for? JoJo: Who am I voting for? Jordan: Are you voting? I don't think I'm voting actually JoJo: Here's my thoughts on voting Jordan: OK JoJo: Here's my fear, if I vote will I be called in for jury duty? Jordan: That's what I hear, because I know like 2 months after I registered to vote, I was called in to jury duty, and I actually had to go, there was no way out. JoJo: The worst thing in the world to me is to be called into jury duty, well not the worst thing, but top 5 Jordan: You might get a good case JoJo: But I'd be stuck there, it would be like "and now the trial for OJ Simpson" and I'd be like "oh dude" I'll be stuck here for months or six months Jordan: True JoJo: But you have a pretty good excuse I think, you're traveling and can't get back to Boston, which is were I'm assuming you'd be registered to vote at. Jordan: Right, but I wasn't doing anything at the time. JoJo: You could always say "I'm recording with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis in Minneapolis and just take a quick flight and have a vacation Jordan: True. But it is important to vote people. JoJo: You might see Jordan there Jordan: Not that I'm gonna vote JoJo: Who would you vote for? Jordan: Who would I vote for? hmmm JoJo: Reagan? Jordan: Reagan, yes probably, I don't know JoJo: A lot of people say both people suck, they say that every year, but neither one is gonna screw things up that bad. Nobody's gonna save the world, but no one is gonna make me rich either. So just get some dude in there, and as long as I don't have to go to jury duty I'm cool, and as long as Jordan Knight comes into the studio, I'm happy. If I vote for Gore, and he brings in Jordan Knight, then I'm happy... ok let's take a few calls.. Martha are you there? Martha: Yes, I'm so excited I can't believe it, I've been on hold forever JoJo: Martha, you're calling from San Diego? Martha: San Diego, I can't hear the broadcast, I've been trying to download the stupid thing and I can't get through JoJo: What a pain in the butt... well say hi to Jordan Knight Martha: Hi Jordan Jordan: Hi Martha Martha: How are you? Jordan: I'm good Martha: I have to tell you I met you this year backstage at the Ricky Martin Concert Jordan: Oh stop, we're on the radio, sorry what did you say? Martha: I met you backstage at the Ricky Martin concert and I really want you to sign my picture that I took with you. Jordan: Oh JoJo: Were you performing at this show? Jordan: Actually I just went, I went there with the choreographer Tina Landon.... and Mr. Miguel Melendez over there, my manager, and we were just hanging out, and she happened to have choreographed the show, so I was privileged to go back stage and not say hi to Ricky Martin JoJo: He has security like mad, Jordan Knight can't even meet him Jordan: Yea he was no where in sight JoJo: Give me Jordan Knight's opinion on Ricky Martin's show Jordan: He was very good. He's an excellent entertainer Martha: When I was backstage, and I turned around and there you were, and I was like freaking out, but I had to act all cool you know Jordan: I hear you, you gotta act cool you know what I'm saying Martha: You are awesome and so nice and I just want to get you to sign my picture...I didn't get to hear the whole broadcast, I heard you're going to have a new album and I wanna know what is the next place you're going to be at. JoJo: Now would be a good time to plug the album again Jordan Jordan: Well my album is coming out on Interscope records and FarmClub.com I know that's a really long name and it's be out, hopefully in February it's got a lot of strong I'd say dance tracks. Martha have you seen "Meet the Parents"? Martha: No I haven't Jordan: Your name just reminded me of a certain part in the movie Martha: I've heard my brother calls me that all the time, and he's 6 years old JoJo: I didn't see it, can you fill me in? Jordan: No I can't I gotta do that off the air Martha: Her middle name is a bad word you don't wanna say on the air , let me tell you I gotta see that movie. JoJo: Angela are you there? Angela: Before I ask Jordan a question, Jo Jo, I just wanted to say you did a good job on the RMA's Jo Jo: What is it? JoJo: I did the Radio Music Award in Vegas on Saturday and I was like the backstage check in, so I had a big role in that show right? Jordan: It was almost like the New Kids half time show at the Super Bowl, we had a really big spot JoJo: What was that like Jordan: It was great, but when it came on TV they flashed to a Gulf War live coverage. We practiced for like 2 weeks, and got costumes and the whole thing... JoJo: and sang the "Right Stuff"? Jordan: Actually we sang "Step by Step" JoJo: But then it got interrupted? Jordan: Actually we weren't even seen. JoJo: Are you sick of this song (Playing Right Stuff in the background) or does it bring back good memories? Jordan: Um... (hesitates) JoJo: He's sick of it Jordan: You know what it is? That's the song that everybody sings when they see me. If I'm walking through a mall all I hear is "oh oh oh oh oh... hey it Jordan Knight!" JoJo: You need to bring a stick with you and whenever someone does that just wack them a couple of time and let them have it..... note to Jordan/New Kids fans, don't sing that song when you see him. Do you have a preference? Do like one of your new songs Jordan: Yea Yea (both singing) "Baby you know I can give it to you." JoJo: Me singing next to you, I can't do it... Angela what it your question for Jordan? Angela: I want to know if there are any artists you are working with on your album? If not who would you want to work with? Jordan: Actually Mya is probably gonna sing a duet JoJo: She's a hottie Jordan: She's a hottie, have you seen her feet? JoJo: I tried Jordan: Well I'll let you know when I do the duet maybe I'll see her feet JoJo: Jordan, you're a stud, you're my hero, so Mya is on the album is there anyone you'd like to work with is the follow-up to that question Jordan: Actually I'm working with all the people I want to work with, and I am just very thankful for that... JoJo: ...Let me take one more question before the break, Perva are you there? Perva: Yea I'm here JoJo: Now it's Perva, not with an ERT at the end of it Perva:You did that last time too JoJo:I know I remember you, Perva, say hi to Jordan Knight Perva: Hi Jordan Jordan: Hi how are you? Perva: I'm fine, I just had a quick question for you. I saw you went I snuck backstage at NSync concert and I was just wondering when you toured with them if you gave them any advise, or did you see an resemblance to when you toured with New Kids on the Block? Jordan: I think I just told them to stay out of face for the whole tour, that was my advise, no I didn't give them any advise, I didn't think they needed advise they were selling out concert and doing really well for themselves, maybe in a few years they'll come to me for advise Perva: Also I have a really big favor to ask you, I was just about to change my answering machine, and I was wondering if you could just say say a few words, like "Hi this is Jordan Knight, leave a message" Jordan: Like real quick, like "what's up?" JoJo: .. start your recorder it's on right now... Jordan Knight answering machine message in 5 -4 -3 -2 -1 Jordan: Hello now you've reached Perv, this is Jordan Knight and you can reach me at jordanknight.com hope to see you soon, and we'll get back to you bye bye ...(break) JoJo: Jordan, you're a stud, thank you for hanging out. You having a good time so far? Jordan: Oh yea, always have a good time up here JoJo: On your tour and all your travels around the world any ladies you see, like any ladies with the hot toes, make a mental note and tell me who to look out for Jordan: I got you covered JoJo: Like Ally Landry, when you check out her out make sure her toes are... Jordan: I'll look straight down to her toes JoJo: She'll be like what are you looking at Jordan: Um Um (plays clip of Ally saying a radio ID) Jordan: Oh now she knows I like Dorito chips stuck between her toes JoJo: ... Rebecca, say hi to Jordan Knight Rebecca: ... I just wanted to say I saw you on tour with NSync and it was awesome, you totally got the crowd going, and I can't wait to see you live again, and I just wanted to know in recording it you had a favorite song so far? Jordan: um, not really because they're all a little different. I guess when you make them you just like all of them, they're all kinda like your little babies, you know what I mean? JoJo:I asked this question of Ricky Martin at the Radio Music Awards, when you put together an album, is it like having a baby? Jordan: Kind of, well I have a son he's 14 months, and let me tell you it's nothing like that! But I can see the analogy in it where you love every part of him, and you love every part of your album. You know some people may look at a picture of your baby and say well he's not that cute, but you think he's the cutest thing in the world, that's the kind of thing. JoJo:... Let's go to line 15, Mya are you there? Mya: Yes I am Jordan: (Jordan sings "Case of the Ex") JoJo:That's Jordan singing to you Jordan: Mya, what's up? I never knew you'd call me on the radio like this JoJo: What's your question Mya? Mya: I just wanted to say thank you for being such an inspiration to everybody, you're such a great actor Jordan: Yea I'm a actor, actually thank you so much for the compliment. That's actually one the best reasons to do all this stuff is to hopefully inspire people JoJo: I have one favor to ask you, can I get an autograph? Jordan: An autograph? Yea I can hook you up Jordan Knight Articles and Transcripts Home |
