Yes! It's Nick Carter!

He's chatting with us today in the Zeethatorium!

Sunflower1515: How old were you when you started in the music business?

Nick_Carter: I was about around 11 or 12 years old.

zoogerkat24: How do you guys sing and dance at the same time? I mean, don't
you get out of breath?

Nick_Carter: Yes we do. Actually, I am going to admit that , when we had some
down time to take care of business, I got a little chunky. Now I am back to
my normal self and I am not as out of breath as I was at the beginning of the
tour.

Mclean28: do u think u will be comming to delaware for your 'Into The
Millennium' tour?

Nick_Carter: I do not know exactly right now but, soon the dates will be
shown.

Witchiepoo56: i was wondering, are you guys left or right handed?

Nick_Carter: I am right handed.

barbie424242: my naame is barbara from argentina and i want to know when you
came to argentina? thamks i love so much

Nick_Carter: Argentina is most likely a part of the tour after America and I
do not know exactly when we will be there yet.

MeGz4BsB: NICK, I THINK YOU ARE PERFECT NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK!

Nick_Carter: Thank you and for a while I felt as if I didn't care how I
looked but, sometimes it can start to get to you.

luvnick10654: what has been your biggest achievement according to you?

Nick_Carter: Probably, being able to have success in general. Being able to
also have generous fans, loving people around the world like all of you there
to support us!

whitezooger0: What is your fave song to perform live?

Nick_Carter: Probably, :Larger than Life" and I also like to perform "No One
Else comes close" and "Spanish Eyes"...I love to perform "Spanish Eyes."

CWzoog: If you could proform with anyone who would it be?

Nick_Carter: Jimmy Buffet, or Journey.

ChristineZoog: How many years have you guys been together?

Nick_Carter: Six and a couple of months now.

lczooger1: Backstreet Boys you rock what advice do you have for upcoming
stars or people that want to be singers.

Nick_Carter: Go for it! Three keys to success. Being real, being happy in
what you do, and to realize that it is not easy.

N2lance136: so what is your most embarrassing moment?

Nick_Carter: Most embarrassing moment would have be...we were performing and
my left thing didn't work where I was supposed to fly and I was supposed to
come in with the dancers at a different angle and I had to wear a dancers
suit  As I tried to get off the suit to perform, my shoes got caught in the
suit so, I decided to take my shoes off. As I climbed up the ramp to go to
the center of the stage, I found out a little too late that It was slippery
so, on the way down, I almost fell and hurt myself. It was pretty
embarrassing being the fact that George Lucas was in the audience.

Mclean28: how many tatoos does aj have and of what?

Nick_Carter: AJ has now 11. And I do not know exactly what they all are. You
would have to ask him.

Nicks_Soul_Mate: Hi Nick! My name is Tc and I hear that you and the other BsB
are involved with chairty work....do you guys do as much charity work as
possible?

Nick_Carter: It is an important part of life. Charity is not for oneself but
for someone else. And if we can help other peoples lives by doing or donating
and by also being in this position that we are in right now, its very
important to us.

Aquamarine10: what advice do u have to give to a young group of three
starting out???

Nick_Carter: Pretty much what I had written before but, what another thing I
would tell them is to never give up for there are so many people on this
planet that lose hope to soon in their lives and later on realize that if
they would have given it that extra push they could have done something that
they would have really wanted to do. And that stands for everything in life.

heidiandsam: My two daughters, Eli and Andy, are your biggest fans and listen
to you all the time on Radio Disney! Can you say hi to them -- it would make
them scream all the way home on the plane from Disneyland (where we are right
now)!

Nick_Carter: HI! To Eli and Andy. I hope you are coming to see our concert.
Cuz I want to see you too.

BsBrUlEz : HOW DID IT FEEL TO DO A SPECIAL FOR DISNEY IN THE AMSTERDAME
THERTHER?

Nick_Carter: It was a very special moment in our lives being the fact that we
were able to reach out to so many fans with the help of Disney. To make so
many people happy.

TheLovelyGoddess: Do you like rollercoasters?

Nick_Carter: I HATE roller coasters. Hate is the wrong word to use. I would
have to say certain roller coasters....the big scary ones!

Bankah5: Nick, How do you feel about Aaron being in the buisiness? Do you
encourage him or are you worried about him stealing your thunder?

Nick_Carter: First of all, I am not worried, If he was to steal my thunder,
if I have any thunder...they deserve it...anybody who says he is going to
steal my thunder...to me, it is a part of life and I wish everybody well in
what they are doing. My brother is very talented and he deserves all the
success he can get.

FHCfaith1503: Are you a good bowler????

Nick_Carter: NO. Hey, I will be honest.

coolchick19: how do you decide who sings which part?

Nick_Carter: I guess it is kinda a feel thing...depending on how the song
sounds. We listen to it and whoever soounds best on the part. Sometimes, if a
person is stealing the song more that someone else, then they will sing it.

microchip: Where did you learn those dance moves? Who taught you?

Nick_Carter: First of all, I can't dance...I consider myself a terrible
dancer. So, in my case, practice makes good...not better...or perfect. Lots
of practice.

MystryLady82: Nick - first of all, I'm sooo happy to get to talk to you. My
question is this....when "I Want It That Way" was first released, the words
were different. Why was the song changed from it starting out "I'm yours
completely la la la la"?

Nick_Carter: Very interesting. that was a conflict with our record company.
Kinda like wrong copies of a video game that are pulled off the shelf...I
think it is funny. But, hey sometimes things like that happen.

lilly_l: I love you guys!!! i wanna ask if you like us the fans!!

Nick_Carter: Well, let me think...OF COURSE, are you crazy. Like is not the
word! LOVE completes everything.

brokberokinmybod: nick, baby, is it true that you and the guys are doing a
song with mariah carey?

Nick_Carter: Sometimes it is funny how you guys find out things that we
haven't even discussed yet but, It was an option. We were just really busy.

BriansBabeLiz919: How do you guys handle having every aspect of your life
examined under a magnifying glass?

Nick_Carter: I don't know whether or not that is true.: I feel as if, even
though, we have been put in the spotlight, it hasn't been utilized. to the
point of being examined under a magnifying glass.

SportySpice: Do you call your parents very often while you are touring?

Nick_Carter: Of course! They are very important to me!

Sorbetbee: Is it true that you have 2 tattoos?

Nick_Carter: I don't know. Is it true?
:::laughs:::

daydreamer_2002: Hi Nick, I was wondering what is your schedule like?

Nick_Carter: You don't want to know!

Zaomi_k: Nick, do you ever plan on going to college?

Nick_Carter: I would love to go to college to play basketball.

bsb_1_fan_4_life: Hey! I love you guys! I have more than 1,500 pics. Do you
take singing lessons or do you naturally have a great voice???

Nick_Carter: To be honest, I took singing lessons when I was younger but,
alot of it comes from oneself. I guess it did help me improve what I had.

hott4rocaz: Nick, is Brian as nice as he seems?

Nick_Carter: Of course! He is very kind hearted, sensitive person. And
trustworthy.

we sing and dance.

ZebbieO0: why did you get your hair braided?

Nick_Carter: It lasted for 3 days and it was an in and out thing. But, if you
want to know why, I don't really know myself.

zupzap: Hey Nick, out of your group who get the most blame or gets picked on
the most?

Nick_Carter: I still do! I guess it will just never end.

BSB409: How has you life changed ever since you have become known worldwide?

Nick_Carter: I guess, it is hard to get a cheese burger.
:::laughs:::
 Well, just things aren't really that different. It is just when you go out
to certain places when you don't want to be noticed...it ends up that you get
noticed. But, it is okay...it's alot of love. And who doesn't like love?

Witchiepoo56: I heard that Brian was having a hard time recently with his
heart, but do you know if he's OK?

Nick_Carter: I don't know what rumor that came from but, it is not true.

BSB_Elise531: I've heard that Brian has the messiest room. What's it like
compared to yours??

Nick_Carter: Brian doesn't have the messiest room...he actually has the
cleanest room. My room is the messiest.

OkieKokie: Hi. First, what's this about your solo albumn and also, can you
please say hi to my 2 friends, Nicole and Sarah who are very upset that
they're missing this?

Nick_Carter: Solo album...why would one want to do a solo album when you are
having so much fun and success right now with this group. The answer is we
would all like to do something in the future when time is right.

growing up in this business. And I have learned everything in this business.

right now.

seeker321 : What's the best thing about being a BACKSTREET BOY??

experience. You can say that it is lessons....Believe me when I say that I
don't let one day go by that I don't count my prayers and thank God for what
I have right now.

reason...somebody please tell me!

BSBecky20: What did you want to be before you became a singer?

the Planet.
