How can you beat a brother who has topped the world, literally? Well, Aaron Carter is doing quite a nice job. He has been competing with his brother, Nick Carter, for the spotlight for years and now he has the world in his control. It is quite hard to imagine just how it must feel to tour the world, and top the charts all at fourteen years old. During Teen Scene's recent interview with the pop icon, he had this to say about his success, "It feels great! It is a feeling you can't describe. It's something that I'm glad I achieved. I'm really glad that I earned it right now because it will all pay off when I get older." Aaron's latest career move was his "Winter Party" which was his latest tour outing. The tour hit major arena's in 25 cities. The tour is far bigger than Aaron's past tours. The tour includes a full stage set-up that truly looks like a Winter Party, two trampolines, a fireman's pole, slide, conveyor belt, and a trapdoor. The concert is as crazy as it may sound. Aaron and his troop of dancers are on their feet throughout the entire concert, for the exception of Aaron playing Piano while belting out John Lennon's, "Imagine". Which he did quite an impressive job with. The song also happens to be Aaron's favorite song to perform on this tour.
While, Aaron's big bro, Nick, is off performing with the Backstreet Boys singing about hooking up with a girl, Aaron is singing about candy and hooking his friends up with Backstreet Boys tickets. So can we expect Aaron's music to continue maturing as he gets older? "Yeah, Definitely! I mean not to much, not so drastic. I want to keep it a little of what it is now, but also a little of what it isn't," Aaron explains. Part of growing up means taking his career to new levels. AC, as his fans sometimes call him, recently had his own Pay-Per-View special called, "Aaron Carter's Valentine Party". The special shows Aaron's sold-out concert at the Riverside Centroplex in Baton Rouge where big brother, Nick, joined Aaron on several songs including, "Outstanding", "Oh Aaron", and "Not To Young, Not To Old". Aaron had this to say about the special, "It's good. I'm very excited to have it coming out. It's really great! I enjoy doing it with my brother." Just as Mandy Moore, Britney Spears, Lance Bass, and Joey Fatone hit the big screen, Aaron, hopes to do the same. Aaron had this to say about his big screen debut, "I'm actually doing a movie right now called, "Dude" around May. So, I'm going to be doing that movie in May. It's about me being a bully basically. All I know right now is that I'm a bully. [laughs] I'll have to come back to you on that one." With Aaron seeming like he wouldn't hurt a fly in his songs can he live upto the bully status? "I think so. I'll have to take a few lessons from my brother, but then I'll be good to go," jokes Aaron.
Now, that Aaron is covering music and acting, where does he see himself in ten years? Aaron says, "Well if I'm not doing this then probably Marine Biology." Even though, Aaron enjoys Marine Biology he says that he has no plans to quit what he is doing right now. Somehow, between being a pop icon and upcoming movie star, Aaron, has found time to study Marine Biology. "I've been doing lots of studies on it. I actually did a study on a bird called a Spoonbill bird. It's a bird based out of Florida and the Everglades. It's population is decreasing so we're just trying to get them back to level. Their sources aren't right so we have to get them back up to original being," Aaron explains.
With traveling the world, Aaron, must look upto someone to keep him on track all the time. When asked who his role model is Aaron told Teen Scene, "Probably my brother. Steve Perry is a big idol of mine too. He's a big influence on my life." As it seems Aaron has a pretty close relationship with his brother, "He's a good brother and a very good role model." Some advice, Nick, may be helping his younger brother out with is the favorite topic, the ladies! With Aaron's fanbase mainly pertaining to teenage girls it is quite safe to say that they all would like to be his girlfriend. So we popped the question of whether he is dating anyone. "As of right now, I'm not. I actually haven't had the time for it," admits the pop singer. Aaron also admitted that his biggest celebrity crush would be with the irresistible teenage twin actresses, Mary-Kate and Ashley. As in all the best interviews we do, we must toss in that odd-ball question of 'If you were a fly whose wall would you land on?'. Aaron responded with an answer I can undoubtedly agree with which is, Pamela Anderson.
Aaron has three hit albums under his belt now, several tours, a Pay-Per-View Special, and will soon be adding a hit movie to his achievements. His album, "Oh Aaron" has sold more than 1 million copies getting the album certified Platinum, and now his latest single, "I'm All About You" is becoming a hit on the radio getting airplay from major stations across the country. This amazing pop singer not only has the moves, but also wonderful talent that has propelled him to the top. Aaron is here now and will be here for a long ride.
