Dorough tells EW, “At the time [I was putting the album together], I was really in this positive place in life, had lots of energy, between Backstreet-New Kids and my family. So a lot of the album is dance and up-tempo [music]. But there’s definitely also the crooner ballads that people would know me for.

He continues, “For me, it felt right to go in this direction rather to go in a direction that I just wasn’t at, I think sometimes when you try to do that, you don’t give fans your best. Even if you shock them a little bit, at least you’re feeling the music and lyrics and able to put 100 percent into it”

Backstreet Boys - I Did It For You - Lyrics

Last night on the road with my head spin-spinning speeding headin’ for a dead end but I turned it around
You
I did it for you
You
I did it for you
You
I did it for you
You
I did it for you

Never thought for once that it would end up like this before, always thought I’d be the one drivin’.
Pay no attention to caution signs I’m runnin’ through traffic lights completely out of control.
I put my hands on the steering wheel proceeded to give it gas that’s when I ran into you
and girl you turned my life around I know I was going South where would I be without you?
Probably lost
Last night on the road with my head spin-spinning speeding headin’ for a dead-end but I turned it around
You
I did it for you
You
I did it for you
You

You
I did it for you…
I had my bags packed thinkin’ that life wasn’t fair I drove so far ’till nothing’ was there
I swear this pain is killing me like no one’s in love with me.
I had to take a backseat down a backstreet just to realize the world didn’t revolve around me.
I was a speed demon how could you ever love a speed demon?
Girl I was so lost…
Last night on the road with my head spin-spinning speeding headin’ for a dead-end but I turned it around
You
I did it for you
You
I did it for you
You
I did it for you

Girl I know that everything is true,
it’s all about you it’s all about you,
be honest I just couldn’t breathe I had to turn around
be honest I just couldn’t breathe I had to turn around
Girl I know that everything is true,
it’s all about you it’s all about you,
be honest I just couldn’t breathe I had to turn around
be honest I just couldn’t breathe I had to turn around
Last night on the road with my head spin-spinning, speeding headin’ for a dead end but I turned it around

Concert promoter imprecise on tour profit

2011-02-21T10:47:00.000-08:00

Backstreet Boys played in Australia more than two years back and organizers promoters has still no idea how much profit, if any, the tour made.

Mr McManus made this astonishing claim in documents applied in the Supreme Court, where he is fighting a former employee's claim of more than $220,000 in unpaid royalties.

Mr McManus's lawyers argued that Mr Prendergast's calculations were predicated on projected rather than actual profit. In support of that, they cited the 2008 Backstreet Boys tour.

''The projected revenue for the Backstreet Boys tour was $1,697,043.94,'' the affidavit states. ''The projected expenses for that tour were $1,540,430.37 [plus various other costs].''

Despite it having occurred more than 2½ years ago, Mr McManus said he was ''not able to accurately confirm the amount of actual profit or loss from the Backstreet Boys Australian tour''.

A directions hearing is scheduled in the Supreme Court tomorrow.

Carter, who admits to having his first feel of alcohol at two, when his parents ran an upstate New York bar, called the Yankee Rebel, says, "I had a lot of rude awakenings (about my drinking) at times, warning signs, from DUIs... I got the DUI and I realized it was wrong and so I determined to go and punish myself - go and do the classes, go do the DUI school, do the society service, do everything that I was necessary to do and then I would end up in a situation where I would stop for six months and then after that I would feel like it's OK to get back into it.

Mr.Dorough said, "This record here, we reached back into what made us who we are -- that's good pop melodies, great harmonies -- and made it recent and relevant".

The album's attempt to be recent and relevant is reflected in the Euro dance beats of "Straight Through My Heart," the record's first single, and collaborations with producers behind some of Lady Gaga, Britney Spears and Kelly Clarkson's hits.

Mr.Dorough said, "We actually wanted to push the envelope with this record". "We wanted to reach out to some writers that people wouldn't have expected us to reach out to."

"We made a conscious effort to go back to being ourselves," Mr. Littrell said in a release. "It's important for the fans to remember what was, but it's also important for them to know where we're headed."

The tour is a similar blend of old and new. "All I Have to Give" from the debut album or "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)," which could arguably be called the group's anthem. Newer material, brief talks from the boys and film clips starring the band will be sprinkled throughout the show.

Backstreet's back, good as ever

2010-08-08T04:04:00.000-07:00

Backstreet Boys still got it goin' on.
The band of boy all grown up but still baby faced sweated and crooned their way straight into fans' hearts at a packed Rogers Arena. The quartet (fifth member Kevin Richardson left the group in 2006 to start a family), proved that they've still got the sex appeal that revved up every female teenager's hormones back in 1996 when they released their self titled debut.
It's quite amazing, actually: 14 years later, and all of those preteen and teenaged girls that pinned up Tiger Beat posters of Nick Carter, Brian Littrell, A.J. McLean and Howie Dorough (can't forget Richardson) on their walls have stayed true to the Boys.
The 20 something year old female fans were there in full support. Dressed to the nines, in sparkly shirts and stilettos, they brought their lungs and their tears.
OK, well the tears weren't of the waterfall variety that we look from Justin Bieber fans today. But they were there, waving from the corners of black lined and mascara coated eyes.
The group dazzled the audience for nearly two hours, playing all the hits to the audience's delight, as well as new material from their 2009 release This Is Us.
They opened with (Everybody) Backstreet's Back from 1997's Backstreet's Back album after jumping through a giant screen onto the stage. The boys pulled out some slick moves to welcome the arena. The screams were deafening.
The audience sang along to every single word. The lyrics to We've Got It Goin' On re-emerged from their collective unconscious. It was like riding a bike.
"Who's been to a Backstreet Boys show before?" Littrell asked the audience. He was answered by a million decibels of noise.
"Is it OK if we go back in time so you can help us sing some songs?" he continued, jumping into Quit Playing Games (With My Heart) and then As Long As You Love Me.
Even though they're one man down and a little rougher around the edges, the Backstreet Boys' voices haven't changed one bit.
They have grown with their audience, though. The concert matched the maturity of the audience, giving fans a trip down memory lane without being too cheesy.
The production values and visual candy have been stripped down since the Backstreet Boys concerts of yore. They threw out the excessive pyrotechnics and intricate choreography for toned down dance numbers and a more mature, music centric approach.
They performed each song harmony for harmony, lyric for lyric. It was like listening to their album. Nothing different. But that's what the fans wanted.
Although the members will likely never be able to shake their '90s boy band persona a la Justin Timberlake and rise to the same heights of success as they did ten years ago, the Backstreet Boys showed that they've got a love for their music and their fans, and they'll keep on singing Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely as long as the music world will let them.
I remember my dad once chuckling at my teenaged obsession over the Backstreet Boys in 1997. "They'll never last that long," he told me.
Um, Dad? I think they have.

Backstreet Boys Lopez Tonight “If I Knew Then”

Head below to catch Brian, A.J., Howie and Nick performing their latest single “If I Knew Then,” their third single from seventh album This Is Us.

Arrested 'Backstreet Bandit'

2010-07-25T12:35:00.000-07:00

The Boston man known as the Backstreet Bandit is being held on $50,000 cash bail after he allegedly robbed banks in Revere, Saugus and Malden. Rolando Gala, 23, of 56 Fernwood Road, Boston was arraigned in Chelsea District Court on Friday following his arrest in a residence on Broadway Street in Revere for possession of Class A and Class C substances with the intent to distribute. An additional complaint was issued charging him with the June 14 unarmed robbery of the Bank of America on Squire Road.

At $50,000 Judge D. Dunbar Livingston set the bail after revoking an initial $5,000 bail from a June 19 Chelsea home invasion case, but allowed revocation, which means Gala will be held for up to 60 days even if he posts bail. The drug charges for the additional bail of $50,000. On Monday he is due back in court. Police responded to a Broadway residence around 8 p.m. on Thursday to serve an arrest warrant. Inside the residence, police found heroin and the prescription drug Clonazepam. They also found Gala, who they believed resembled the suspect depicted in surveillance footage of the Revere, Saugus and Malden bank robberies, as well as two fedoras similar to the one the suspect wore. Gala was charged with possession of heroin and Clonazepam with the intent to distribute. Three others were found in the apartment, including Dianna Robinson, 39, of 250 Broadway; Sheryl Maloney, 27, of 26 Holley Ave., Lynn and Michael Kelley, 28, of 16A Clinton St., Lynn. Each were charged with being present where heroin was kept. Police found a large amount of cash and two fedora style hats in Gala's room. It has been reported prosecutors said the bank robberies were part of a "drug fueled crime spree."
Gala is believed to be responsible for the June 18 robbery of Eastern Bank, 605 Broadway St. in Saugus and the July 19 robbery of the Bank of America branch on Centre Street in Malden. A teller from the Malden robbery identified him as the robber. The decision to charge Gala in those cases will be determined by prosecutors in Essex and Middlesex counties respectively. The FBI Violent Crimes Task Force said Gala wore a fedora style hat during each of the robberies. He presented a manila envelope to the teller and demanded money. Once the envelope was filled, he took off on foot. Surveillance videos did not reveal the use of a weapon during any of the robberies and no one was physically injured. The FBI nicknamed Gala the Backstreet Bandit because of the fedora style hat and clothes he wore, which are similar to a member of the pop group the Backstreet Boys, though there is no connection between him and the musical group.

Still fromt and center Backstreet Boys

2010-06-25T14:47:00.000-07:00

Even as they make their way across the country playing a string of sold out concert dates, including two shows at the Warfield tonight and Monday, Backstreet Boys members seem more baffled by their enduring popularity than anyone else.
Or as Nick Carter, 30, checking in from rehearsals just a few days before the launch of the tour, puts it: "We can't believe that we still got it."
The band (which also headlines the San Francisco Pride event at the Civic Center today) may have sold more than 76 million albums and lodged eight albums into the Top 10 over its 17 year career, but these haven't exactly been boom times for the group that, alongside rivals 'N SYNC, dominated the tail end of the '90s music scene with weepy pop hits such as "Quit Playing Games With My Heart" and "I Want It That Way."
In 2005 since getting back together after stints in rehab and the bottom rungs of the charts with their respective solo albums, Carter and his Backstreet Boys bandmates - A.J. McLean, Brian Littrell and Howie Dorough (Kevin Richardson left for good in 2006) - have been leading a relatively quiet, sepia-toned comeback effort reflective of a group of men inching into their 30s.
Their songs no longer provide the soundtrack for school dances. Valuable wall space in adolescent bedrooms has been given over to the Jonas Brothers and Justin Bieber. And their longtime label Jive currently cut them loose.
On the upside, walking through the mall has become a much easier endeavor. "It is a lot easier," Carter admits. "People love us. They just don't know where we went. We get that all the time: 'Hey, what are you guys doing now?' Well, we're doing what we've always done."
At least the fans who used to camp outside the hotels where the Backstreet Boys stayed and obsessively vote for the band's videos on MTV's "Total Request Live" remain just as passionate about the band, even with the distraction of their own careers and children. "They're actually worse now." Carter says. "If they want a kiss, they're going to get it."

And there are a lot of them.
Tickets for the tour in support of the Backstreet Boys' most current album, "This Is Us," were snatched up almost as soon as they went on sale. "I think we ended up in a position where we should have been in bigger venues," he says.
The greatest hits collection, "Playlist: The Very Best of Backstreet Boys," released earlier this year, has been selling steadily. There's even a Backstreet Boys cruise, which puts the band members out to sea with its followers on a journey from Miami to Cozumel, Mexico, from Dec. 9 to 13 that's totally sold out. "The hard-core fans find us," Carter says.
The Backstreet Boys are only too glad to reciprocate the love. Even though they're playing to smaller rooms, their concerts are still stuffed with lasers, costume changes, video montages and, yes, even full scale dance routines for all the hits.
"We're not just entertainers anymore," Carter says. "We're part athlete now. We have to be to dance for 2 1/2 hours every night, especially at our age."
While no one expects any more platinum albums to arrive in the mail anytime soon, the band members haven't exactly scaled back their ambitions either. When they perform the hit "Backstreet's Back" every night, they're not merely offering up nostalgia but also hope.
"We look at every day as if it's the beginning of our career," Carter says. "We think that's what it's all about.

Backstreet Boys: Tailors show to fans

2010-06-17T14:04:00.000-07:00

The Backstreet Boys are back.
The singing quartet — Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell and A.J. McLean — have sold more than 76 million records worldwide and won a bucketload of MTV Music Awards on both sides of the Atlantic, VH1 Music Awards, Teen Choice Awards and Grammy Nominations.
Its albums the pair has also seen two ("Backstreet Boys" and "Millennium") sell more than 10 million copies each.
As current at 2008, the boys were voted No. 2 and 3 on MTV's TRL list for Top 10 Best Boy Band and Most Iconic Video, respectively, for "I Want It That Way."
Last October, the Backstreet Boys released its ninth CD, "This Is Us."
In addition, the singers are each involved in their own solo careers and other projects.
Carter, calling from the Backstreet Boys stop in Connecticut, said the group's lives rely on priorities.
"The Backstreet Boys takes a lot of time and energy," he said. "And it takes a lot of balance to do what is expected of us and what we need to do."
Carter, who has had his share of trials with substance addiction, said each of the singers has a good support group.

Backstreet Boys and Korn Join Forces to Boycott BP

2010-06-11T14:49:00.000-07:00

Backstreet Boys and Korn may not have much in common in terms of their music but they are both backing the boycott of British Petroleum (BP) during their tours. The two groups have announced that they will not be refueling at any of the companies stations while using their tour buses.
Korn frontman, Jonathan Davis stated, "We need to do our part to let BP know there are consequences for causing something like this. We want to send a message to corporations like BP so that they will take more preventative measures in the future."
Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys was profoundly affected during a recent performance in Biloxi, Mississipi after witnessing the effects of the oil spill first hand. After seeing the animals covered in oil, Nick spoke of his heartbreak at the sight.
Made by scientists there are new claims that the oil spill is perhaps double what what first estimated, as noted by Seth Borenstein on Yahoo news. With the initial blast having killed 11 workers and BP stocks only sinking further, the company is definitely swimming in the deep end.
With all the environmental issues the world is already facing, BP have been caught at a time when the public concerns are only rising. Rock and pop may not always mix too well in the music world, but it seems they make a better concoction than the oil and water floating in the Gulf of Mexico. This may be the start of a worldwide boycott.

Backstreet Boys leave label

2010-06-01T02:22:00.001-07:00

The Backstreet Boys have parted ways with their longtime record label after 16 years on the roster.

The boy band signed to Jive Records in 1994 and released seven albums through the label over the years.

They have now announced their departure from Jive in a post on their official website, titled "Freedom", which dismisses rumours they were dumped from the books because of falling album sales.

The post reads, "So the news is out! The Backstreet Boys are no longer signed to long time record label Jive Records. The amicable split is very exciting for the group. "

Bandmember Brian Littrell adds, "This is the best thing, at the best time that could have ever happened for us. We are confident in the future of our band, and are looking forward to the new things to come. 2011 is going to be a great year for us."

A word with Nick Carter as Backstreet Boys come to Ruth Eckerd Hall May 31

2010-05-27T01:50:00.001-07:00

Is this where we make the "Backstreet's back" quip?

Let's not. It's way overused, not to mention possibly inaccurate. Nick Carter says the Backstreet Boys never went away — even if you didn't notice. For 17 years the group has toiled to stay alive. They've sold more than 100 million albums. They've been golden boys and guilty pleasures. They lost a member and continued as a foursome. Their latest album, This Is Us, came out in 2009. The Backstreet Boys are back (fine) on a world tour, stopping at Ruth Eckerd Hall on Memorial Day.

Carter, the teen idol who grew up in Apollo Beach and Ruskin, is now 30. He has navigated addiction, screamy reality TV and industry scandal, but says he's in a good place. He called from home in Nashville to talk about the tour and his favorite Tampa memories (RIP, stadium Bennigan's). And if Justin Bieber loyalists don't appreciate his music, he's content to count their moms as fans.

Back Street Boys sets Tour Dates.

2010-04-01T03:36:00.000-07:00

This June, the boys known as Backstreet will be hitting the road for a tour. The Backstreet Boys announced that starting June 1 in Orlando, Florida (obviously!), they will be kicking off their summer tour in support of last fall's very awesome release This Is Us.

Considering that they have many, many phenomenal songs to pick from in their excellent back catalog of tunes, MTV is officially declaring this a can't-miss event that absolutely must be seen!

Backstreet Boys' A.J. McLean Reveals Engagement Details

2010-03-08T01:59:00.000-08:00

On Friday, Backstreet Boys fans everywhere let out a collective sigh when another member, A.J. McLean, went off the market, proposing to girlfriend Rochelle Karidis. The boy-bander spoke to MTV News about the engagement and said he couldn't have picked a better girl to make his future Mrs. McLean.
While celebrating his birthday last weekend, McLean said he knew it was time to make Karidis an honest woman.

"I have had this on my mind for months now, and there was talks amongst me and some of the friends of mine, and actually, I kind if brought it up to [bandmate] Howie [Dorough] once before, as well as Nick [Carter], about possibly doing it on New Year's," he revealed. "I said, 'No, I'm going to wait a little bit longer.' Something clicked. We were having dinner at Nobu prior to it, and I was like, 'I'm just done. I'm done, and this is the one, and she's absolutely phenomenal.' "
He very publicly asked her to marry him at a gig on Friday, which also happened to fall on his 32nd birthday. He admitted that he didn't have a doubt that she would accept his proposal. "I [wasn't] nervous that she'd say no," he said. "I was more nervous that she wouldn't feel comfortable in front of a crowd."
McLean said proposing onstage was the way he always imagined he would pop the question. "That was something else that I always wanted to do," he said. "I kind of had this childhood fantasy of, once I do propose, it's just somehow got to be onstage. I just went up there and grabbed a mic."
Karadis and McLean have been dating for nearly a year, and the Backstreet Boy said he's found his match. "She is my true best friend," he said. "She is absolutely amazing. She's very talented ... supportive ... understanding. She's everything you can possibly want in someone, plus 10-gazllion more. That night, I looked at her, and I was like, 'I'm gonna do it tonight.' "
Now to the important stuff: the bling. "The ring is actually a one of a kind," McLean explained. "It is a square head with princess-cut diamonds surrounding and a one-carat diamond in the center and there's also about 20 or 25 princess-cut diamonds on the actual band. It's a gorgeous ring."
McLean isn't the only Backstreet Boy excited about the engagement. "Nick was extremely happy for me," he said. "Howie didn't know. I actually texted Howie [on my birthday] ... and he sent me one back all capitals, all exclamation points: 'Finally! Congratulations.' And I haven't heard from Brian yet, but I have heard through management, because Brian has been swamped with his family, that he sends his best."

BACKSTREET BOYS CAUSE FURORE OVER ROCK FESTIVAL

2010-02-02T02:08:00.000-08:00

Pop group THE BACKSTREET BOYS have sparked outrage among heavy metal fans in India after it was announced they will follow IRON MAIDEN as a headliner for the upcoming Rock In India festival.The event marked the first ever rock festival in India when it kicked off in 2008, with Megadeth and MAChine Head playing top of the bill. Iron Maiden took the stage in 2009. But festival organisers have taken an abrupt turn from the heavy metal genre, booking The Backstreet Boys and Richard Marx for the 2010 line up. Local music critics have blasted organisers for the shift, but festival bosses are standing by their decision to book the ageing teen sensations. A statement on Rock In India's website reads, “There has been a long-standing request from many music fans to our website that they would like to see mainstream music and also classic rock... Rock In India is a 'music' festival and the headliners have already been announced. Rock In India does not mean the 'genre' rock only. Being a fan you have right to an opinion. Being a promoter no artist is big or small to us. All artists are respected equally and not looked down upon just because they are a pop artist! We respect their music!” The Rock in India festival will take place in Delhi on 20 February and in Bangalore on 22 February (10).

Backstreet Boys at Liverpool's Echo Arena

2009-11-10T10:11:00.000-08:00

WHEN the opportunity arose to look cheesey 90s chart toppers the Backstreet Boys return on their tour I couldn’t resist.
Who cares that they’re the latest bleached popstrels to cash in on the recent fondness for nostalgia? I used to worship their dance moves.
Trouble is, I could only remember one song - despite owning the album Backstreet’s Back on cassette - so when they opened with that oh-so-catchy title track Everybody (Backstreet’s Back) - complete with ‘that’ dance move - I was worried.
“What will they do for the rest of the show?” I muttered to my friend, who shares my boy band pedigree.
“No fear,” she replied. “It will all come flooding back.”
And so it did. Worringly easily.
Hearthrob Nick Carter (minus the blond curtains - likely for the best) A.J, Howie and Brian whizzed through hits including As Long As You Love Me, All I Have To Give, We’ve Got It Going On and that hands-in-the-air favourite, I’ll Never Break Your Heart.
Oh no. Just mentioning those songs gives me an urge to sing.
And that’s why the Backstreet Boys - touring without original fifth member Kevin - were unashamedly superb at the ECHO Arena last night, playing to a near sell out crowd with just enough youngsters to give them serious hope for the future.

Backstreet Boys "This is Us" album

2009-10-22T08:47:00.000-07:00

There are so many terrible puns to choose from when describing the latest Backstreet Boys comeback effort that it’s hard to pick just one.
The obvious with to begin, Backstreet’s Back again. Rising from the boy band craze of the '90s and still going strong into the 21st century, the Boys’ sixth album This is Us has arrived, much to the delight of the throngs of die-hard BSB fans, more than ten years after the beginnings of their teeny-bopper obsessions with the five dreamy boys.
It seems, however, that the Backstreet sound has changed. Most of the songs are focused in an electronic, club-oriented direction and don’t quite sound like classic boy-band pop. If the group is looking to pick up new fans by doing this, they’re out of luck — today’s preteens are too busy drooling over the Jonas Brothers to pay any mind to the now middle-aged Backstreet members. Plus, the pair’s token heartthrob Nick Carter is decidedly much less appealing after being unfortunately contaminated by Paris Hilton in 2003.
Nevertheless, songs like “Bigger” reveal insights into the former BSB style, and the overly dramatic and painful love ballad — a boy band standard — is covered in the song “Shattered.” These glimpses into the good old days of boy band glory are what make this album enjoyable.
Stick to what you know Backstreet Boys, your fans "Want It That Way."

Backstreet Boys Are Return Again

2009-10-15T07:07:00.000-07:00

The Backstreet Boys are return again, with a new album and tour after their 2007 record Unbreakable was released with more of a whimper rather than a bang.
Howie Dorough, 36, says the band has high hopes for its new album This Is Us, which was released last week, but for God’s sake, don’t call it a comeback!
“That’s right, we say don’t call it a comeback,” Howie tells Reuters. “But I think this is going to be a record that people hear.
“Our last two were best but came after we took a break and there was a bit of a backlash. People wanted a bit of a break from the Backstreet Boys. The last two records were a good rebuilding process and taken us to this point.”
In their 17 year history, the BBs have had their fair share of turmoil: AJ McLean went to rehab for alcohol and drug addiction in 2001 and Nick Carter was the star of the E! reality show House of Carters.
Meanwhile, Brian Littrell’s 7 year old son Baylee has been diagnosed with the heart condition Kawasaki Syndrome, and Howie lost his sister Caroline Dorough Cochran to Lupus in 1998 when she was 37.
The fifth member of the band, Kevin Richardson, left in 2006.
How have their life experiences affected the pair? “Time has not changed us but it has made us grow,” Howie says.
“We have grown into the adults we are now the fathers, the friends, the entertainers that we are now and the career minded people that we are.”
And the music? “We have a lot more to write about now with the personal experiences that have happened along the way,” says Howie.
“We have also become more seasoned as entertainers. It has opened our eyes and our minds. We’re no longer just entertainers but also businessmen and we are finding a healthy balance of career and families.”
And despite being well into their thirties, these men have no need to different their name.
“Boys to us has never been an age thing,” insists Howie. “If the Beastie Boys and the Beach Boys and Pet Shop Boys can stay boys, so can we.”

Backstreet Boys: Are Back on GDLA

2009-10-10T10:21:00.000-07:00

Los Angeles (myFOXla.com) - In case you haven’t heard, the 90’s boy band sensation, The Backstreet Boys are back together. That’s right… AJ, Nick, Howie and Brian have reunited and have just put out their seventh album called "This Is Us".
The group (well everyone except Brian because he’s recovering from the Swine Flu) dropped by “Good Day” LA” to talk about their return and their new album.

Backstreet Boys' Brian Littrell: Apologizes For Cancellations Due To Swine Flu

2009-10-06T11:27:00.000-07:00

Just as the Backstreet Boys were preparing to promote their latest album, This Is Us, word came that member Brian Littrell had been diagnosed with swine flu, prompting several upcoming promotional appearances that the band to cancel. On the roster was a performance of their single "Straight Through My Heart" on CBS' "Early Show" on Tuesday (October 6).
In a video posted Monday on YouTube, a sniffling and visibly ill Littrell apologized to his fans for missing upcoming scheduled appearances, which included a Pinktober charity event supporting breast cancer awareness at the Hard Rock Café in Times Square.
"First off, I need to say that I'm actually sorry to all of our Backstreet Boys fans, as well as I'm sorry to the Hard Rock Café and the staff there. The Backstreet Boys had a great event set up this afternoon (October 5), an autograph signing at the Hard Rock, where we were going to get the opportunity to unify with some of our fans as well as raise money for breast cancer awareness," he said. "Unfortunately I was diagnosed with the swine flu yesterday, and my job right now is to stay away from as many people as I can."
He also addressed the bandmates that his fact are recently healthy but are still undergoing preventative swine flu treatments: "On another note, the guys have been looked at by a doctor, and they're also on preventative medicine that will help them not show any signs nor get the swine flu, I hope.
"I want to again apologize and say that I'm sorry I couldn't make it again. You guys got to know what's going on. ... I hope that the next time you look at me, I will feel better, but for right now, for the next three or four days, I've got to be out of the loop. Thank you for your understanding. I'm sorry that I couldn't be there, but my job right now is to try and protect you guys from this. I hope you guys are well and I will talk to you very soon. God bless."
In 1998, Littrell, 34, underwent open heart surgery to correct a lifelong heart murmur. A spokesperson for Littrell told MTV News that his doctors are aware of his previous heart condition and heart surgery and are monitoring that as they treat him

X Factor dream ends Twins fear

2009-10-04T05:19:00.000-07:00

Spiky haired twins John and Edward Grimes fear they might have blown their X Factor opportunity after a performance of the Backstreet Boys' I Want It That Way.
Champion the twins was Mentor Louis Walsh, despite them coming in for ridicule from several quarters, but following their performance to be aired this weekend the normally confident 17 year olds are seen crying.
Edward says: "I just feel like we go home and then it's just like 'What the hell, that's it', then that's what we're remembered for, that's the end, no."
John adds: "Yeah, like on a bad note, unbelievable bad note."
Edward agrees: "Yeah, I think we meant our best. It could have gone well and it didn't."
This weekend's episodes see the 24 remaining acts visiting the judges in exotic locations across the world, to impress their mentors with their singing talents once again.
Dannii Minogue is joined by her big sister Kylie, to help her choose which acts to take through to the next round.
Kylie is impressed by Stacey Solomon's version of the classic ballad Over The Rainbow, saying: "I sung that song every night on tour for a while and it's one you don't want to mess up but for me it was flawless."
Meanwhile, Simon Cowell's helper is singer Sinitta, who dons a daring outfit made up of some well-placed palm leaves.
Saturday's gig will air on ITV1 at 8pm and the 12 remaining finalists will be announced on Sunday night, in a programme which goes out from 8pm.

Next week the Backstreet Boys are releasing their new album, leading many fans of the '90s boy band era to feel a bit nostalgic. And who could forget the epic battle that went on between Backstreet fans and 'NSYNC fans?
Given that Backstreet fans still get their fix of new music from the pair every few years, will 'NSYNC fans ever get a opportunity to hear some new music from the pair? JC Chasez very bluntly told MTV News that it will never happen.

"Nope," he said emphatically about any reunion tours or albums in the band's future. "I keep in touch with all of them. (We don't want to do it) because we already did that and it was fun, but we're done with it."
Chasez, who now spends his time as a judge on "America's Best Dance Crew," may not see an 'NSYNC reunion in the cards, but he did reveal, using his judging powers, who in the band had the slickest moves on the dance floor.
"I would say that was a toss up between Justin and I. We just had very different styles," he said. "Justin was very fluid and more the crooner, and I was more high energy and power."
Chasez also said that there was no competition among the bandmembers to try to out dance each other, which means that, unfortunately, there were no backstage dance offs. "No, no. We had fun. We would hang out and make stuff up," he said. "We always encouraged each other to be better. It was never competitive. If he does better, we all did better. If I did better, we all did better."

7th album to Backstreet Boys back

2009-09-26T09:50:00.000-07:00

SINGAPORE: The Backstreet Boys are back. Here in Singapore to perform at the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix, it is clear the boys are all men now. After being in the business for 16 and a half years, the Backstreet Boys have returned with their 7th album entitled, "This Is Us". The album features songs with upbeat music, like their latest single "Straight Through My Heart". The Backstreet Boys held their first Asian album preview here in Singapore currently. Brian Littrell said: "It's funny because Singapore rates up there with New York, LA and London, as well as Tokyo. We made music for music lovers, they're from eight to 80 years old they don't have to be abolescent girls, they don't have to be teenage guys, they don't have to be young, they don't have to be old. It's just people who enjoy music, that's why we make music because we are passionate about it." Despite their fame, the boys said they have dreams and aspirations, just like anyone else. "Acting for me that's how I started in this business, it was through theatre and stuff so I'm still waiting to do Broadway, at least once in my life. I would love to do Broadway, rather Phantom of the Opera. But I'll take whatever Chicago, Hairspray. I just want to do Broadway!" said AJ McLean. When asked which song they wished they had composed, Howie Dorough said: "I'd probably pick Michael Jackson's Thriller because to keep it real, those writers are making bank! They're making money! They don't have to work no more and that would be nice!" But just what keeps the Backstreet Boys going after all these years? Nick Carter said: "I think the Backstreet Boys continue on because we realised that there's only a certain amount of time that we can do this. We feel like we can continue this forever, but we're always fighting, we're pushing against the grain so to speak, so I think our inspiration is to defy the odds." The Backstreet Boys will return for their world tour early next year.

'Straight Through My Heart' Backstreet Boys

2009-09-24T05:22:00.000-07:00

It says something about how far the Backstreets' stock has fallen in current years that they resorted to doing a promotional interview with Kate 'The Apprentice' Walsh for car-crash magazine show Live From Studio Five earlier this week. Watching Brian, Nick, Howie and AJ deal with the reality star's fits of giggles while roughly five hardcore fans stood waving banners made a rather depressing sight.Fortunately, though the glitz and glamour may have faded somewhat, musically they appear to be undergoing a rebirth. If this RedOne-produced single is a fair representation, then their upcoming album may live up its billing as the band's best since 1999's Millennium. Fans who always preferred their banging pop tracks to the syrupy ballads will certainly be satisfied with this throbbing anthem, which has a chorus just begging for some old-school BSB dance moves.

(Backsteet Boys album), This Is Us

2009-09-21T12:03:00.000-07:00

This Is Us is the name of the seventh studio album from American Grammy nominated international pop boy band Backstreet Boys. As becoming a four piece band (Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell and AJ McLean), this album will be the second album and will be released on October 5, 2009 in the UK through RCA Records, October 6 in the US through Jive, and later all over the world through Sony Music.
They have reunited with previous collaborator and producer Max Martin Ryan Tedder, Dr. Luke, Claude Kelly, Jim Jonsin, RedOne and T-Pain for the album as well.
Backstreet Boys plan on spending the second half of 2009 and all of 2010 on the road. A European tour has already been announced and a full North American headlining tour will be announced shortly.

'RedOne is a big fan' to Backstreet Boys

2009-09-16T09:15:00.000-07:00

Nick Carter has claimed that producer RedOne was a big fan of the Backstreet Boys when he was growing up.
The singer revealed that RedOne is influenced by the 'Straight Through My Heart' boyband and jumped at the chance to produce songs for their new album This Is Us.
"RedOne was really kind of like a big fan of us at the beginning, and always needed to be on our album," he told Popjustice.
"It was really cool, it was just funny how time goes by when certain people rise to the occasion, and it's their time to shine. It's just funny how life works.
"He wrote three songs for us. He just delivered amazing songs that we thought were great and recent and fresh. You know what's funny though? Even though he's worked with GaGa and all these big artists, he was such a big fan of the Ba Boysckstreet."
Carter added: "He actually tried in the very beginning, when he started to write songs that could go on our album. He studied us, and tried to write songs for us."
RedOne, real name Nadir Khayat, has also produced records for acts including New Kids on the Block, Akon, Sugababes, Enrique Iglesias, Lionel Richie and Robyn.

Carter brothers show business

2009-08-26T03:36:00.000-07:00

Guess who's arriveing in the latest season of 'Dancing with the Stars'? Aaron Carter! And accumption who's right behind Aaron and supporting him to the end? His big brother Nick Carter of course!
"If my brother needs me there then I'll be there," says the Backstreet Boy member. "At least I'll be in the conferences supporting him."
The Backstreet Boys album is up for release soon and is called, 'This Is Us.'

Backstreet Boys Are Return Again

2009-08-20T11:22:00.000-07:00

No matter how old we get, we still have a soft spot in our heart for the Backstreet Boys. And we love that the boys have all grown up and adult and are still making music together. Here's a sneak peak at their latest song, "Straight Through My Heart."
We always say we'll never tire of the Backstreet Boys. Though they were once a major boy band, we actually think they've arranged to grow and mature through the years and we just can't help but love their music. Plus, it's what we call the perfect "treadmill music."
We have mixed feelings about their new single, "Straight Through My Heart." It's absolutely not our favorite song we've heard from them, but it's totally radio ready and we're sure it will do just fine as their first single off This is Us.
Think about all Backstreet Boys hits. We're hoping they add clean a few more with their new album. We're mostly besided because we heard they collaborated with T-Pain on their new album and we have a feeling that music is going to be amazing. This is Us is due out on October 6, and we'll absolutely give you our full review then.
How do you like the new single? Are you excited for the return of the Backstreet Boys or do you wish they would just go away?

BACKSTREET BOYS - CARTER FIGHTING FIT AGAIN AFTER HEALTH SCARE

2009-08-17T05:49:00.000-07:00

BACKSTREET BOYS star NICK CARTER is racing back to good health after decades of drinking and partying left with a weakened heart.
The singer was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy - a build up of toxins that prevents the heart from pumping blood efficiently - after he started feeling ill in Europe on a recent Backstreet Boys tour.
And doctors told him he had to give up alcohol or risk death.
Carter, who admits to having his first taste of alcohol at two, when his parents ran an upstate New York bar, called the Yankee Rebel, says, "I had a lot of rude awakenings (about my drinking) at times, warning signs, from DUIs... I got the DUI and I realised it was wrong and so I decided to go and punish myself - go and do the classes, go do the DUI school, do the community service, do everything that I was required to do and then I would end up in a situation where I would stop for six months and then after that I would feel like it's OK to get back into it.
"But I was out on the road with the boys... about six moths ago... and I was starting to get, like, some chest pains, I was starting to feel a little uncomfortable and I figured maybe what I need to do is just kinda go and get myself checked out. I was drinking a lot and I was having a lot of anxiety.
"I went to the doctor and got a full check up... and he said, 'Listen you've got to stop. If you don't stop, this is going to get progressively worse'."
Carter stopped drinking overnight and now he's determined to beat his heart condition: "It's a condition that right now if I get it under control and I change my life, I could be healthy.
"I started replacing drinking and the parties with healthier things such as sports and playing videogames."

Backstreet Boys Albums Information

2009-06-29T02:10:00.000-07:00

The Backstreet Boys first got success in Europe after make public of their first album in late 1995. The U.S. didn't take become aware of of the group awaiting that album was finally issued for American spectators in 1997. The Backstreet Boys travelled the top of a gesture of achievement for teen-oriented pop music. The band went on an comprehensive pause after 2000 and then returned in 2005 with the album Never Gone.

• Backstreet Boys (1997) - The debut album for the group is an attractive mix of up-tempo dance music and sweet ballads. "(Quit Playing Games) With My Heart" is a good example of the group's yearning ballad style while "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" shows off the group in dance mode. When the Backstreet Boys finally broke through in the U.S. this album reached #4 on the pop albums chart.

• Millenium (1999) - The Backstreet Boys combined their victory on this album, their first #1. It features "I Want It That Way," one of the best pop ballads of the 90's. The formula of uptempo material balanced by big ballads stayed very much the same. Other hits included "Show Me the Meaning Of Being Lonely" and "Larger Than Life."

• Black & Blue (2000) - Released at the acme of the group's success, this album debuted at #1 on the pop albums chart. unluckily, the albums for profit success was short-lived partially due to intense competition from 'N Sync for the boy band crown. The only major hit from the album was "Shape Of My Heart." The band soon went on hiatus to work on individual projects and for some members of the group to work out personal issues.

• The Hits : Chapter One (2001) - The predictable greatest hits collection came into view in 2001 collecting the best seconds from the first three albums. Many fans feared the band was completed when this set appeared.

• Never Gone (2005) - After a 4 year gap, the Backstreet Boys return. The boys are now men and the music is a bit more adult as well.

Backstreet Boys are stronger

2009-06-29T01:48:00.000-07:00

The Backstreet Boys are not every music fan's cup of tea, but, simply put, this album contain one beautiful pop song following another. The excellently green agreement and right away agreeable melodies are a bit irresistible when taken as a whole album, so the group remains at its best as a singles band. The excellent news is that every one of these songs is radio friendly. As Timbland tops the pop singles chart with the unapologetic adult contemporary sound of Apologize it's time for radio programmers to welcome the Boys back.

Everybody grove to the music
Everybody jam

Oh, hey

Well I'm creepin' up on your left
Straight up funky when I get with you
Keep it ruthless when I get wet
Keep the party packed in my corner
Tough like granite to keep the crowd hype
Get up on this just to get right
What you want it what you gonna get
Backstreet's got the special effects, uh
