The group recently found themselves trying to explain the meaning behind one of their biggest hits, “I Want It That Way,” after Chrissy Teigen called out its confusing lyrics on Twitter. It was one of the most horrible things I ever saw.The Backstreet Boys just released their first new single in five years, but that doesn’t mean the old hits are a thing of the past. They weren’t our size at all and the colors were horrible. It didn’t even look like they were meant for us. And I just remember wearing all of these really baggy suits and they were oversized. And we were performing at Brian’s high school - this is before we even got a record deal. We were watching some footage yesterday before our show … Some old footage of us as young teenagers. NC: Oh man, everything! Everything that we wore in the past we regret. I think if I’m correct, Vegas is about 2,000 feet above sea level, so we got to be in good shape. We have a very intense show when it comes to the amount of choreography so we need a lot of energy.

But upper body and cardio is really important from a dancing standpoint - especially the older you get. So we tend not to do any leg workouts during the runs. Right now we have a two-week run so if I did a really hard leg day - squatting or lunges or anything of that range - it would probably blow my legs out. It’s kind of hard to do leg days between our shows. We all try to stay in shape as much as we can with weightlifting and strengthening our legs. NC: Obviously cardio is very important to us.

US: Have your workouts changed throughout the years? It was the Backstreet Boys set in between the Japanese culture. It was so crazy and a lot of fun though at the same time. It was very hard because we did it on a handycam and we basically had to go on the street and shoot things and just run away. NC: One that stands out to me that was a lot of fun was we had done this music video in Japan and it was a song called “Bigger”. US: What’s one of the most memorable music videos the group did? Anything that we can do to give back.”įor more, read the rest of his Q&A below: Anything that we can do to raise awareness for good causes and our military - we support them and are grateful for everything that they do for us. (The singer’s dad, Robert, died at age 65 in May.) “I really wanted to do it. “My dad, he served in the military a while ago, so I definitely have some connection when it comes to the campaign,” Carter tells Us. Dubbed “National Boot Week,” the Boot Campaign encourages people to wear combat boots to spread awareness and to donate to the cause. Recently, Carter teamed up with the “Lace Up, America” campaign to honor veterans for Veteran’s Day. When they aren’t performing, the longtime pals are also giving back. And I always try to tell everybody to keep the romance in there. “We’re comfortable wanting to make sure that we stay with who we are and stay true to who we are but at the same time embrace being men because we’re a little bit older. A lot of it is very mature but sexy at the same time,” Carter says. And (quit playing games with our heart!) new music is on the way. So much so that they’ve extended their Las Vegas residency into 2018. A good part of history when it comes to the ’90s is just interesting people - times have definitely changed but we feel our representation of that golden age and we’re proud of it.” We love our fans and we love what we represent. We are a family, we have fun together and we enjoy the music. I don’t know why that is,” Carter tells Us. “I just had never seen us not being together. Richardson left the band in June 2006, but made his return six years later. The Backstreet Boys continued to have huge success, but have had their ups and downs since forming in 1993. They’d later coordinate in all-white outfits as they danced in a terminal. In the video, the group is greeted by screaming fans on an airport tarmac while singing into the camera. “I Want It That Way” was the first single off their third album, 1999’s Millennium. And we didn’t feel like we lived up to it.”

“ like it wasn’t the greatest music video - at all. It didn’t feel as epic as some of our other videos that we had done prior to it,” he continues. “Later on it was one of the most iconic scenes when the chorus hit. McLean and Howie Dorough - were surprised by the fan reaction. Needless to say, Carter, 37, and his bandmates - Brian Littrell, Kevin Richardson, A.J. Biggest Boy Bands of All Time Read article
