I THOUGHT IT WAS THE WHEELS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO DO ALL THE WORK THERE, BUT I'M DOING A LOT OF WORK RIGHT THERE.
AARON CARTER, EVERYONE.
HERE HE IS.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
AND THE MAIN REASON WHY YOU'RE HERE, I'M GOING TO HOLD IT UP RIGHT HERE.

BUT THEY CAN ONLY COME GET IT WHEN IT COMES OUT.
>> YEAH.
>> RICK THE TEMP: IT'S NOT OUT THERE YET.
THE SINGLE'S OUT THERE.
THE VIDEO'S OUT THERE.
YOU'RE TWELVE YEARS OLD, AREN'T YOU?
>> YEAH.
I'LL BE 13 DECEMBER 7TH.
>> RICK THE TEMP: WHEN?
>> DECEMBER 7TH.
>> RICK THE TEMP: TWELVE YEARS OLD, MAKING RECORDS, MAKING THE BLING-BLING.
I JUST WANTED TO KNOW, WHAT AGE
DID YOU WANT TO GET STARTED IN SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN THIS INDUSTRY?
>> WELL, I STARTED WHEN I WAS SIX YEARS OLD IN A BAND CALLED DEAD END, AND THAT WAS A DEAD END, FOR SURE.
(LAUGHING)
IT SUCKED.
I SUCKED.
>> RICK THE TEMP: WHAT WAS YOUR JOB IN THAT BAND?
>> IT WAS TO SING VERY BADLY, AND SING OFF-NOTE.
>> RICK THE TEMP: AND DID YOU HAVE ALBUMS OUT?
>> NO.
IT IS JUST LIKE A FUN KIND OF MUSIC KIND OF THING.
>> RICK THE TEMP: DOWN IN ORLANDO?
>> YEAH.
>> RICK THE TEMP: THAT CAME TO A DEAD END, AS YOU WERE SAYING. AND WHAT WAS NEXT?
SO THAT WAS SIX YEARS AGO.
>> YEAH, IT WAS SIX YEARS AGO.
WOW, I FEEL OLD!
(LAUGHING)
I KNOW.
BUT, YEAH, IT WAS SIX YEARS AGO, AND THEN AFTER THAT, UHMM, MY BROTHER GOT ME HOOKED UP WITH GARY CAROLLA.
HE WAS THE PRODUCER AND HE WAS WORKING WITH JOHNNY WRIGHT, AND JOHNNY WRIGHT GOT ME A RECORD DEAL WITH EDEL RECORDS, AND I GUESS?
>> RICK THE TEMP: WHAT AGE WAS THAT NOW?
>> I THINK IT WAS EIGHT, EIGHT OR NINE.
>> RICK THE TEMP: EIGHT OR NINE?
WHAT WAS I DOING WHEN I WAS EIGHT?
SOMETHING LIKE?NOT THAT. LEARNING HOW TO TIE MY SHOES, I'M SURE.
SO THIS IS "AARON'S PARTY" HERE. AND I'M JUST WONDERING WHAT AARON'S PARTY WOULD CONSIST OF, A PARTY, IF YOU WERE TO THROW A PARTY.
>> OH.
IF I WERE TO THROW A PARTY, I WOULD HAVE A BIG EMPTY HOUSE. I'D HAVE A DISCO?LIKE, LITTLE SECTIONS OF ROOMS.
I'D HAVE DISCO ROOMS.
I'D HAVE JUST LIKE A CHILLIN' ROOM, YOU KNOW. (LAUGHING) SHE'D BE THERE.
>> RICK THE TEMP: IN THE CHILLING ROOM THERE. SORRY, CHILLIN'.
I PUT THE "G" AT THE END THERE. CHILLIN'.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IN THAT ROOM?
>> CHILL.
IT DEPENDS HOW OLD I AM.
(LAUGHING)
>> RICK THE TEMP: JUST KEEP IN MIND YOU'RE STILL TWELVE. NICOLE IS AROUND SOMEWHERE.
NICOLE HAS A QUESTION TO ASK. NICOLE'S RIGHT BACK HERE SOMEWHERE. NICOLE?
QUESTION FOR AARON. HERE HE IS.
AARON, SAY HELLO TO NICOLE.
NICOLE, SAY HELLO TO AARON.
>> HI, AARON.
>> HELLO.
>> WHAT ARE THE UPS AND DOWNS OF BEING A POP STAR?
>> THE UPS AND DOWNS.
WELL, ONE OF THE DOWNS IS BEING AWAY FROM MY FAMILY BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE THEM ALL THE TIME WHEN I'M ON THE ROAD, AND IT'S KIND OF HARD TO TALK TO THEM AND- BECAUSE I ONLY GET TO SEE THEM, LIKE, ONCE, LIKE, A WEEK OUT OF A MONTH, SO?BUT MY BROTHER, I USUALLY SEE HIM, LIKE, SOMETIMES WE RUN INTO EACH OTHER ON THE ROAD WHEN WE'RE OUT IN EUROPE OR SOMETHING, AND THAT'S USUALLY JUST LUCK, BUT IT'S ONLY HAPPENED LIKE ONCE OR TWICE.
>> RICK THE TEMP: RIGHT ON.
ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT THERE?
>> YES.
>> RICK THE TEMP: GOOD ONE. I BELIEVE VANESSA HAS A QUESTION AS WELL.
VANESSA'S ON THIS SIDE.
I'M GOING TO RIDE ON OVER BECAUSE I HAVE A SCOOTER. VANESSA, SAY HELLO TO AARON.
HERE HE IS.
>> HEY, AARON.
>> HELLO.
>> I WAS WONDERING, DO YOUR FRIENDS SEE YOU DIFFERENTLY NOW THAN BEFORE YOU WERE FAMOUS?
>> UHMM, I GUESS?I GUESS THEY'VE ALWAYS SEEN ME THE WAY I AM NOW BECAUSE OF NICK, BUT WHEN I WAS IN, LIKE, FOURTH GRADE OR FIFTH GRADE, IT WAS KIND OF HARD TO BE IN SCHOOL BECAUSE, AT THE SAME TIME, LIKE, AROUND THERE I WAS STILL JUST STARTING SO I HADN'T BEEN?I HADN'T STARTED TUTORING YET SO I WAS STILL IN SCHOOL, AND I TOLD EVERYBODY IN THE SCHOOL AND THEY ALL STARTED PICKING ON ME. "OH, YOU'RE A LITTLE SINGER NOW," SO THAT GOT A LITTLE OLD.
(RICK MAKES INAUDIBLE COMMENT)
I SHOULD HAVE.
(LAUGHING)
>> RICK THE TEMP: SORRY.
>> YEAH, BUT MY FRIENDS NOW, I CAN'T EVEN TRUST ANYBODY BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE TELLING THE TRUTH OR IF THEY JUST WANT TO HANG OUT WITH ME BECAUSE I'M AARON CARTER OR IF THEY JUST WANT TO HANG OUT WITH ME BECAUSE I'M JUST A REGULAR KID.
>> RICK THE TEMP: 'CAUSE YOU'RE LITTLE SCOOTER BOY. THEY WANT TO PICK UP SOME TIPS MAYBE.
>> BREAK MY HEAD.
>> RICK THE TEMP: YOU MUST HAVE SOME CLOSE FRIENDS.
DO YOU GET A LOT OF TIME TO HANG WITH THESE FRIENDS OF YOURS? 'CAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT FROM HERE.
YOU'RE TRAVELLING ALL OVER THE PLACE.
>> I TRY TO HANG OUT WITH MY FRIENDS BUT, YOU KNOW, THEY? JUST THE THINGS THEY ASK ME. THEY ALWAYS ASK ME, LIKE, QUESTIONS ABOUT, "OH, HOW'S YOUR BROTHER DOING?"
I'M LIKE "SHUT UP!"
LET'S JUST GO FISHING OR SOMETHING.
>> RICK THE TEMP: SO YOU LIKE FISHING?
>> YEAH, I LOVE FISHING.
>> RICK THE TEMP: WHAT ELSE DO YOU LIKE DOING?
>> ALL KINDS OF STUFF. ACTUALLY TWO DAYS AGO I JUST WENT FISHING WITH MY BROTHER, NICK, AND HIS BRENT, HIS FRIEND, AND WE CAUGHT, LIKE, FOUR SHARKS AND A COUPLE OF DOLPHIN FISH.
>> RICK THE TEMP: YOU'RE CATCHING SHARKS?
>> YEAH, AND DOLPHIN.
>> RICK THE TEMP: WHERE ARE YOU FISHING?
>> OUT IN THE KEYS.
THAT'S WHERE WE LIVE, IN FLORIDA.
>> RICK THE TEMP: HOW BIG WERE THE SHARKS?
>> BIGGER THAN YOU.
>> RICK THE TEMP: COME ON!
I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
>> YEAH.
WE CAUGHT A MARLIN, TOO, ABOUT FOUR FEET.
>> RICK THE TEMP: A FOUR-FOOT MARLIN.
>> FOUR-FOOT MARLIN, I SWEAR.
>> RICK THE TEMP: HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD IT TAKE TO REEL IT IN?
>> NICK'S A BIG GUY.
>> RICK THE TEMP: NICK'S A PRETTY BIG GUY.
>> HE'S LIKE 220.
>> RICK THE TEMP: NICK'S ALWAYS EATING THOSE WHOPPERS.
>> THAT'S ALL THEY GET ON THE ROAD.
THAT'S ALL THEY GET.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
>> RICK THE TEMP: NO, HE'S A BIG GUY.
HE'S BEEN HERE A FEW TIMES.
NICK STANDS UP TO HERE.
HE PROBABLY REELED THAT SUCKER IN BY HIMSELF.
>> YEAH, HE DID.
>> RICK THE TEMP: NICK'S BEEN GIVING YOU SOME ADVICE ON HOW TO, YOU KNOW, ACT IN THE PUBLIC EYE.
I'M SURE IT'S TOUGH.
>> YEAH.
>> RICK THE TEMP: FOR ANY, YOU KNOW, SINGER AS YOURSELF.
>> OF COURSE.
>> RICK THE TEMP: WHAT KIND OF ADVICE DOES HE GIVE YOU, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE
HE'S BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT?
>> YEAH.
WELL, YOU KNOW, WHEN I HANG OUT WITH NICK, WE DON'T REALLY TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THAT KIND OF STUFF. WE JUST BE BROTHERS, YOU KNOW. BUT PRETTY MUCH WATCHING HIM AND HIS CAREER GO BY HAS BEEN ADVICE FOR ME; WATCHING THE THINGS HE'S BEEN THROUGH, THE MISTAKES HE'S MADE IN THIS BUSINESS, AND IT'S ALL BEEN ADVICE FOR ME AND I'VE LOOKED OUT FOR IT, SO...
>> RICK THE TEMP: SO YOU SEE THE MISTAKES THAT HE'S MADE OR THE MISTAKES THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN HIS CAREER.
>> YEAH.
>> RICK THE TEMP: AND YOU'RE TRYING TO STAY AWAY FROM THOSE, OBVIOUSLY.
>> YEAH.
I CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN THEM.
THERE'S TOO MANY.
>> RICK THE TEMP: I HEAR YOU. BUT IT'S GOOD TO HAVE AN OLDER BROTHER LIKE THAT. YOU SEE WHERE HE GOES WRONG AND YOU JUST TAKE ANOTHER ROUTE, JUST LIKE THAT.
MEGAN HAS THE LAST QUESTION HERE IN THE ENVIRONMENT.
LET'S RIDE ON OVER TO MEGAN.
WATCH THE CABLE.
WE'RE GOING TO GET RIGHT OVER HERE TO MEGAN.
I'LL GO ON THIS SIDE; YOU GO ON THAT SIDE.
MEGAN, MEET AARON AND ASK AWAY.
>> HI, AARON.
MY QUESTION IS, NOW THAT YOU'VE BECOME FAMOUS AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE, HOW DO YOU MANAGE TO STAY GROUNDED?
>> MY DAD. (LAUGHING) LET'S JUST PUT IT THAT WAY, MY DAD. AND, WELL, MY WHOLE FAMILY. THEY ALL KEEP ME GROUNDED BECAUSE I STILL DO THE REGULAR, NORMAL THINGS THAT KIDS DO.
I MEAN, I TRY TO BE AS NORMAL AS POSSIBLE, AND I TRY TO KEEP MYSELF GROUNDED ALSO AND, YOU KNOW, RESPECT THE PEOPLE THAT I'M WORKING WITH, AND THAT KIND OF KEEPS ME GROUNDED.
>> RICK THE TEMP: RIGHT.
