"Nick, Monica, and Britney"
The June/July 1999 issue also features a behind the scenes photo shoot for MILLENIUM!
"Nick Carter, 19"
The Backstreet Boys have conquered the world last year, and yet, at the crux of their mingboggling success is a guy who just wants to dribble and shoot, maybe play a video game-"just, you know, live," says Nick. When the youngest Boy is at home in Tampa, "I don't care of people see me with my hair sticking out to there. It's just me." But when he's in work mode-as he is now, embarking on a tour with the guys he calls his "brothers" to support their new album, Millennium-look out. Nick's soulful voice and dead-on dance moves invoke screams that defy decibal measurement. Despite phenomenal fan appreciation and even a Best New Artist Grammy nod, he still years for more: "the big 'R' word." Ah, respect. "That's something every artist in the industry wants," he says fervently. "That's one goal I have." In our eyes, he's already there.
