The Backstreet Boys' Nick Carter shrank from larger-than-life to actual size on Thursday, bringing his own band to the House of Blues for a solo turn that uneasily adapted teen pop's stadium-ready conventions to a more intimate setting but didn't always emphasize his strengths.
Now that the bloom is off the teen-pop rose, the 23-year-old blond heartthrob needed a fresh angle to keep an audience whose interest has dwindled as it's matured. Rather than funking it up like 'N Sync's Justin Timberlake, or sexing it up like Christina Aguilera, Carter took the logical next step for his innocently impish boy-next-door persona and cultivated a slicker rock sound on his 2002 debut, "Now or Never." Thus, the 90-minute set mostly evoked '80s-era Bon Jovi, with a dash of Limp Bizkit lite and, of course, the heart-fluttering ballads that are Carter's forte. Backed by a generic ensemble of two guitars, bass, drums and keyboards, he genuinely worked hard, eliciting squeals whenever he busted a Backstreet-style dance move, noodled on guitar or dumped water on himself and fans at the front. Still, his grand gestures were an embarrassing-to-uneasy fit in the nightclub environment, and such up-tempo songs as "Girls in the USA" were merely cotton-candy anthems. The ballads were better suited to his sweet tenor and sincere demeanor. Highlights included a subdued take on his solo hit "Do I Have to Cry for You?," along with an "unplugged" segment featuring such hit Backstreet ballads as "Quit Playing Games
With My Heart)," "I Want It That Way" and "Shape of My Heart." You can take the boy out of Backstreet, but you can't take the Backstreet out of the boy.

*This article has been translated* Mexico city (March 13th, 2003)- One of the members of the Backstreet Boys, Nick Carter, arrived at Mexico some minutes before the 20:00 hours from this Wednesday guarded by two assistants and two people from security. The singer saw a little scared because at least 100 fans persecuted in the Airport the International of Mexico city, which caused a chaos in the place. Although some wanted to maintain the order, there were others struck crystals of the armored light truck that took to his hotel, reason why Carter preferred not to say anything to no of them. On board from a commercial flight, coming from Los Angeles, the Backstreet Boy came to Mexico to appear this Thursday and Friday in the Metropólitan Theater in solo plan. It is hoped that the blonde member, who months ago debut like a solo artist with his solo album "Now or Never", interprets "Help Me" and "Do I Have to Cry For You", among others.

I was a seat filler at the TV Land Awards on March 2nd and Nick wasn't there, which sucked. I later found out that he decided to spend his day off in Denver, where he had a show the next night.

Nick Carter and the other Backstreet Boys want their record company to quit playing games - not with their hearts, but with their careers. Carter's solo album, ''Now or Never,'' is at the center of a $75 million U.S. District Court lawsuit between the pop vocal group and Zomba Recording Co., the parent of Backstreet Boys' Jive Records label. The group claims that the company refused to release its fourth album in 2002 and instead released Carter's, costing the Boys revenue from CD sales and touring. Carter, meanwhile, is listed as a plaintiff in the suit, which is still pending. Despite all this, Backstreet Boys will go on, the 22-year-old says Carter. But after having control of his own project, the youngest Backstreet Boy plans to push the group in some different directions. ''We're going to have to change some things around when it comes to music,'' Carter says. ''I wanted to do another album, but we're going to have to evaluate that situation. Times have changed from that whole pop era. Hopefully, I can bring a new vibe to the band when we go back and do another album. ''I figure it's never too late to learn new things in life - even for old guys like that,'' he adds with a laugh. Until the group reconvenes, Carter is doing what he can to give ''Now or Never'' a good ride. After debuting at No. 17 on the Billboard charts in November, the album - which has a slightly harder rocking flavor than the group's efforts - has sold 211,000 copies, a far cry from Backstreet Boys' multiplatinum standards. And it was certainly overshadowed by the first solo effort by Justin Timberlake of friendly rivals 'NSYNC. But with the cushion of Backstreet Boys for fame and fortune, Carter professes to be more interested in creative accomplishment than sales for his solo venture. ''This is not going to be easy; I think everybody knows that,'' he says. ''But I don't want it to be easy. I want it to be hard. I'm that kind of person; I like to break down walls. If I can do this, then at the end of the day, it's probably going to be more rewarding and I'll be happier. I mean, dude, I've had a lot of success with Backstreet Boys and I've had a lot of fun and success at a very big magnitude. I'm doing this for the love of music now. I'm doing it for other reasons besides selling records and all that crap. I'm at a point in my life where I've got to enjoy what I'm doing; I've really got to love it, and I've got to learn from it. That's where I'm at right now.''

Thanks: Everyone
Fresh off his first solo album and before heading back on tour with the Backstreet Boys, Nick Carter brings his vocal talents to Wild Adventures. Opening for the “Sweet One” is the “Making of the Band” phenomenon, O-Town. Seven years in the music business has served this blonde, blue-eyed singer well, as his first solo effort is getting quite a bit of radio play these days. His experiences growing up a Backstreet Boy have leant themselves to the lyrics of Now or Never. Although a solo project was not originally planned, when the executives at Jive Records heard “Do I Have To Cry For You,” a by-product of an impromptu studio session, they were impressed enough to sign Nick for the album. It gave Carter a chance to show a side not seen before. Check out this new side to Nick for yourselves Saturday, April 5th. Music starts at 6:30 pm with O-Town, the band that’s riding high on the success of their second album released last Fall. The concert is included in the price of admission, so bring your lawn chairs! Reserved Seats On Sale Wednesday, March 5, 2003 at 10:00 A.M. - $15 per seat- Call (229) 219-7080, option 2.

KEY WEST - Nearly two years after Backstreet Boy Nick Carter grounded his 45-foot boat off Marathon, the $30,573 federal penalty he paid is being put to use. During the next few weeks, biologists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will use part of the money to start installing a series of bird stakes -- basically vertical pipes topped by four-by-four-inch wooden blocks -- in waters off Marathon. The idea: The contraptions will become roosting places for cormorants and other seabirds whose droppings will jump-start the growth of sea grass transplanted to replace what was destroyed by the grounding. ''It's basically natural fertilizer,'' said Cheva Heck, spokeswoman for the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, which is supervising the project. ``Just the same way you would fertilize your garden, its nutrients will speed the growth of the sea grass.'' About 97 stakes will be placed in the area -- larger than a tennis court -- where the May 2001 grounding occurred, Heck said. The grounding took place less than half a mile from shore on the bay side of Knight's Key in Marathon, not far from the Seven Mile Bridge. Carter, his parents and his siblings live in a waterfront estate a few
miles north in Marathon. Efforts to reach Carter on Wednesday were unsuccessful. At the time of the incident, a tow company's efforts to pull Carter's boat -- named N'Control -- out of the shallows added to the damage, Heck said. Sea grass is considered key to the health of nearby coral reef habitats. It serves as a nursery for baby fish, lobster and turtles, and is a favorite food source for tarpon, bonefish and manatees. About 30,000 acres of sea grass in the Keys bear the scars of boat propellers. The damage around Monroe is greater than in any other county in Florida, Heck said. The bird stakes off Marathon will be the first in a series of such temporary structures that are scheduled to be erected up and down the Keys in the coming years, said Sean Meehan, a field scientist for NOAA's Damage Assessment Center. NOAA has tested stakes in some places for a few years now. Feathered creatures, said Meehan, flock to the perches in no time.
''It's really pretty quick, within a couple of weeks we see birds roosting upon them,'' he said. ``It's ideal. They are in the open so the birds can see any predators coming at them, and they are over water, which is where the birds feed.'' The main ingredients for this novel approach can be found at any hardware store and cost only a few dollars. At the Marathon site, the stakes will be placed in a pattern two meters apart and will be no more than 10 inches above water at high tide -- a height that makes it easier for the auspicious ''bullets'' to reach their targets.
Reflective tape wrapped around the base helps keep the stakes from looking like channel markers, Meehan said. After 18 months, the stakes will be pulled to allow for the growth of other kinds of grass -- the slower-growing turtle and manatee grasses -- which will spring up once the sediment has been stabilized. Moreover, researchers will return to the site to extensively measure
grass growth and other factors eight times during the next five years. Said Meehan: ``We don't want to use all this money Mr. Carter is providing for the injury and have the grass die.'' -
