Transcript from YTV's Hit List Nick Carter NOW or NEVER! The Hit List is back for its 12th season on YTV, and guess who stopped by on the very first day of taping to wish Rob and Danielle all the best for the new season. Non other than Backstreet Boy and brand new solo recording artis- Nick Carter!! So, The Hit List took the opportunity to ask Nick about his very first single, "Help Me" and his solo cd "Now or Never". We really wanted to know what it was like recording in the studio by himself, without the other Backstreet Boys... Nick: It was a little different at first because I didn't have the four other guys around me, but I got used to it. It was fun to get in there and just create and just be there by myself and do everything that I wanted to do. Just kinda let it all out and not really have to hold things back. Hit List: Did you miss them though-The goofing around? Nick: Yeah, the goofing around part and just being ourselves and everything of course. But...after 9 1/2 years of being with the guys, it's so exciting to do something and try someting new and different and just experiment. I mean, that's what the group is all about anyways- experimenting and having fun. I'm really crazy anyways- eperimenting and the other guys have to like hold me down and make sure that I don't lose my mind in anything I do but this time they weren't there to hold me down, so I was gone- lost in space. Hit List: Dou you think you'll end up touring on your own? Nick: Yeah, I think so.... When I went in the studio and wrote the music (and a lot of the music I wrote with other writers), I went in with a mindset that I wanted to do music that I could forsee myself performing on stage. Like in front of an audience, you know, just rocking out. A lot of the music on the album has a rock feel to it.... Since Nick Carter's new CD is called "Now or Never" The Hit List gave Nick a list of challenges that reqired him to tell us when he'd do them? Now or Never? Nick thought the challenge was "very cool"! Here's how it went. Hit List: Swim with sharks? Now or never? Nick: Now, I've done it. Hit List: Even without a cage? Nick: Yeah, I've done it. Hit List: Sky dive? Now or never? Nick: No, can't do it. Never. Hit List: Eat sushi? Nick: Yep. Now. Hit List: Arm-wrestle Eminem? Nick: Oh yeah! Hit List: Yeah? You think you'd win? Nick: (Scoffs) Bring it on baby! Hit List: Get married? Nick: Yeah at some point...maybe. Hit List: Release another Backstreet Boys CD? Nick: For sure, certainly. Hit List: Sing a duet with Nelly? Nick: Maybe now, maybe yeah. Nelly's cool. Hit List: Go to college? Nick: That would be cool to go play a sport in clooege. I could go play baseball or something like that. Either baseball or basketball, I love them both. Hit List: Take on The Rock in a Celebrity Wrestling match. Nick: Um I could deal with Eminem, but I don't know about The Rock! He's a pretty big guy! Hit List: Do the tango with Shakira? Nick: Oh yeah! (Big Smile!) Hit List: Host your own reality based TV show? Nick: Yeah, why not? Now! Thanks to Little. |
