Backstreet Looks To Change Its Sound, Carter Says

Nick Carter is the most visible face of the Backstreet Boys, the vocal group that sold more than 75 million albums in its chart-topping ’90s heyday.

Carter, Brian Littrell, Howie Dorough and AJ McLean reunited a second time in 2007 to release their fifth studio album, Unbreakable. The group, which no longer includes Kevin Richardson, has toured extensively since and stops Friday in Phoenix.

Carter, 28, checked in from a tour stop in Canada.

Question: Where’s home base for you these days?

Answer: I’ve made three spots my home base. I moved to Nashville and set up my studio there for writing, and I have a cool house there. I also have a place in LA and still have a place in Florida (where his parents live).

Q: Are you an eligible bachelor?

A: Of course, of course.

Q: Is it still hard to go out and grab a bite or a drink without being bothered?

A: People still come up to me and say things, but it’s such a part of my life it’s not like I pay attention to it too much.

Q: Phoenix will host the NBA All-Star Game in February. Are you a basketball fan? More

New Myspace Blog Post By Nick Carter

Nick Posted on his myspace blog a few days ago. Here is the post:

Stuck in a bunk
I tend to write in the weirdest places huh. I’m in a bunk on our bus. Were heading to Grand Prairie Canada. I’m a little beat, because we’ve been on tour for almost a year now. It’s getting a little chilly outside and we are all trying to stay away from the cold bug. lol It’s been amazing to see how many people still believe in what we do. There’s been so much support its awesome. It feels like we’ve been doing our own crazy campaign like Obama for almost a year, going around reminding people that we still are here.( Speaking of him.) seeing him win makes me feel that there is still good left in this world. I’m very happy. It also makes me think that with hard work, dedication and belief, anything can happen. And the same goes for us, as a group and as an individual . Yes we can change. And that is exactly what we are setting course to do. We are going to change alot, The way our past records have sounded. The way were perceived . And just our message overall . I thank all of you in your strength too. You are some tough cookies. Its not that COOL to be a BSB or Nick Carter fan at times. But i promise you this. Were working to CHANGE all that. You know? With mistakes comes lessons. With lessons comes learning. And with learning comes teaching. I’d rather be the solution then the problem. I’d rather be a teacher of good than the teacher of bad. It’s been a long tough road for us at times, ( Even AMERICA) But i believe what defines a true champion is endurance. When you fall , pick yourself off the ground and at the least , FINISH THE RACE. You’ve heard this ” Its not how you start , it’s how you finish”. That’s what we believe so should you. I’m very excited about everything we are about to do. Thank you for your love and let the revolution begin again. To all our BSB soldiers.
Spread the word. Peace
PS. AJ says hi. lol

Boys No Longer, But Show Proves Backstreet’s Back

Who knew so many Saskatoon women spoke scream fluently? At Thursday’s Backstreet Boys concert tongues were wagging and shrieking as the group’s four members sang, danced and entertained the hell out of a predominantly female audience.

The last time the pop group came to Saskatoon they had yet to make it huge in the U.S., Nick Carter still hadn’t dated Paris Hilton and their fans were predominantly ages nine through 17. But 10 years later, if their concert at Credit Union Centre proved anything, the appetite for their catchy hits and synchronized dance moves hasn’t waned. More

They’re Back and All Right

There’s an oft-repeated bit of Scripture — usually reserved for commencement addresses and weddings — that speaks of putting away childish things once you become a man.

And while we certainly don’t want to tell the Backstreet Boys how to do their jobs, the Florida foursome — who brought their Unbreakable tour to MTS Centre last night — might want to consider giving the passage a look-see.

Obviously, it’s been some time since any of the Boys were really boys: Youngest member Nick Carter turns 29 in January, while eldest Howie Dorough just turned 35.

But the unfortunate name isn’t the only holdover from their mid-’90s glory days, when slick dance moves and Swedish-penned pop tunes (oh, and the financial backing of America’s biggest boy-band mogul) were all it took to reach the top of the charts. More

Review: An eardrum blowout

Must… resist… the urge.

Can’t resist. Too weak. Here we go. Backstreet’s ba…

All right.

Now that that’s over — hey! Guess what? Multi-platinum (and famously manufactured) pop outfit The Backstreet Boys came back to the MTS Centre last night for, like, the first time since 2005.

This time, they’re down a Boy (”quiet one” Kevin Richardson bowed out in 2006) and confronting the harsh truth that nobody cares about their new music. Their latest, 2007’s Unbreakable, slid off the charts after two weeks.

But nostalgia is a thriving industry. Women of the Backstreet era (now in their mid-20s) still gladly open their wallets to see the Boys dance and croon their chest-thumpingly earnest ballads live.

And they still open their mouths to scream, too. More
