AJ Press Communicate

“For personal reasons, I’ve checked myself into a rehab clinic. With 2011 being a busy year for Backstreet, I want to be healthy and perform & sing for people at my very best and happiest. None of this will affect our current tour plans and I look forward to seeing everyone really soon! Thank you for all of your support and respecting my family and friends privacy during this time.”

- AJ McLean.

AJ MCLEAN: Feels Uncomfortable On BackstreetBoys Cruise

A.J. Mclean secretly shudder before the upcoming cruise fan of his band Backstreet Boys - because he suffers from seasickness. The boyband will be in December (10) as part of a Carnival Cruise-action host a four-day cruise to celebrate their most loyal fans, the singer and fears that he will be the bulk of the trip in bathroom. McLean: "I go for the first time on cruise ships ... I can not tolerate not good. I know it's a huge ship and you do not want to be seasick, but I know myself. I am a hypochondriac." The cruise begins on 9 December (10) in Miami and goes to Mexico and Key West in Florida.

A.J. McLean de los Backstreet Boys recibe ayuda de JC Chasez en su debut como solista

El ex miembro de la banda de chicos NSYNC escribió una canción llamada 'Teenage Wildlife' para el primer álbum como solista de A.J. McLean, 'Have It All'.

A.J. McLean tiene un proyecto de estudio como solista llamado "Have It All" en el que se encuentra trabajando y recibe ayuda del músico JC Chasez. El ex miembro de NSYNC escribió el primer single de McLean llamado "Teenage Wildlife". Entretanto, para el video correspondiente al tema, el miembro de los Backstreet Boys señaló que la dirección de éste estará a cargo del coreógrafo Wade Robson. "Wade Robson está realizando el video. También está realizando la coreografía" dijo a MTV. “Es su debut como director, así que será increíble”.

"No quiero hablar mucho sobre el video porque definitivamente está ahí, pero puedo adelantar esto: Seré yo en un club con muchos animales — no animales reales, pero eso es lo que será interesante".

El lanzamiento de "Have It All" se realizará durante este año con la participación de Ryan Tedder de OneRepublic en la realización. Al explicar lo que espera del álbum, McLean señaló "Es como una cruza entre un poco de rock y funk y un poco de dance. Es un álbum completo, estoy realmente orgulloso de él y he estado trabajando en esto por casi cinco años. Será un excelente, excelente disco".

El debut como solista de A.J. McLean contiene una canción de JC Chasez de 'NSYNC'

'Estoy realmente orgulloso de él' señala el Backstreet Boy sobre Have It All.

Los fanáticos de los Backstreet Boys y 'NSYNC — alguna vez amistosos rivales en su apogeo — probablemente estarán sorprendidos de saber que JC Chasez ayudó a escribir el primer single del próximo debut como solista de A.J. McLean.

Éste es el primer álbum como solista de McLean, aunque una vez realizó una gira como el alter-ego Johnny No Name. Have It All estará a la venta durante este año y McLean promete que los fanáticos prestarán atención al video de su pri mer single, "Teenage Wildlife", gracias a su sonido levemente atrevido. "Wade Robson está realizando el video. También está realizando la coreografía" McLean dijo a MTV News. "Es su debut como director, así que será increíble. La canción se llama 'Teenage Wildlife'. La escribió JC Chasez".

McLean tiene planes de grabar el video pronto. "No quiero hablar mucho sobre el video porque definitivamente está ahí, pero puedo adelantar esto: Seré yo en un club con muchos animales — no animales reales, pero eso es lo que será interesante".

Para el álbum, McLean trabajó con varios creadores de éxitos como Ryan Tedder, que también trabajó en el último álbum de los Backstreet Boys, This Is Us. "Es una especie de cruza entre un poco de rock y funk y un poco de dance", indicó McLean sobre su debut. "Es un álbum completo, estoy realmente orgulloso de él y he estado trabajando en esto por casi cinco años. Será un excelente, excelente disco".

AJ McLean attempts to fly solo

AJ McLean is most famous for being the "bad boy" of hit 90s boyband The Backstreet Boys but, with his upcoming solo album, he is attempting to forge a successful solo career.

The 30-year-old singer - who is partly responsible for the band's hit tracks including (Everybody) Backstreet's Back and As Long as You Love Me - insists he isn't worried about stepping away from the sound which led to his fame.

"We're calling it a rock, funk and soul vibe. The vocals are pop and R 'n'B-ish and there's even a kind of country twang going on," he said. "It's eclectic. I think people will be a little shocked by some songs, which is absolutely fine by me. They'll be thinking, 'That is what I hoped he was going to do'."

However, AJ is arguably more famous for his personal life as for his professional career.

He went to rehab in 2001 to seek help for his alcohol and cocaine addiction after his bandmates Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, Brian Littrell and Howie Dorough intervened when they became concerned about his erratic behaviour.

Now tee-total, AJ insists the experience sobered him in more ways than one, and also led to him writing a book with his mother Denise entitled Backstreet Mom.

He also said he has some advice for other troubled celebrities including Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears.

"I'm coming up on six years sober," he said. "I just want to sit down with Britney and pick her brain.

"I want to be just someone who can tell her straight. I'll say, 'Hey, do you want to die? Is that what you want?' If that is what she really wanted, she would have done it already. I know that is not what she wants."

Instead of turning his back on The Backstreet Boys, AJ insists he will never leave his bandmates behind, and is currently undergoing his solo tour in conjunction with the boys' Unbreakable World Tour 2008.

A.J also revealed the boys have been incredibly supportive of his solo venture.

"We're all really supportive of each other's projects outside of the group, whether it be singing, acting, producing or whatever," he said. "The one thing we've always told each other is that we'll never hold each other back. If anyone's got any dreams or aspirations to go do something on their own, that's cool as long as they can co-exist with the group."

While the boys' comeback tour has not been as successful as their previous ones, it is clear they still have some devoted fans. Lacking former member Kevin Richardson, the boys' most recent album Unbreakable was well received by critics and fans alike.

However, it seems that AJ's solo career could take him beyond the realms of boybandom to forge a career as a thoroughly successful solo artist.

With pop tracks and heart-wrenching soulful tracks on the as-yet-untitled album, AJ is set to prove he has what it takes to succeed in an industry which enjoys victimising boyband 'has-beens'. BANG Showbiz spoke to the musician on the day after The Backstreet Boys' performance at London's O2 arena, on the night of his solo performance at the IndigO2 - a more intimate concert venue inside the arena.

Q: How was the show with The Backstreet Boys at London's O2 arena last night?
A: The show was amazing - it went off without a hitch. We added a lot of new s**t yesterday - pyro and stuff so it was like because we were doing it for this big webcast for MSN and we are probably going to make it into a DVD as well - we wanted to add a little flair to the show that wasn't normally there. It went off without a hitch - nobody blew up, nobody caught fire! It was really good. There's been moments when that's happened.

Q: Why did you decided to go solo now?
A: I'm ready. A lot of people ask me, 'Why didn't you do it at the height of the Backstreet Boys fame?' But I wasn't ready then. I'm really glad I didn't do it then because I was just getting into my drinking and drugging and I would have probably destroyed my solo career. I mean, I probably would have been in the press an awful lot but it wouldn't have been positive and I want it to be positive and I want it to be right. I also like to think I would have learned as much as I did to write about. I wanted to be so honest with this record. I'm so psyched - I'm ready for this. I'm scared - I won't lie. It's kind of surreal and a little nerve-wracking because you are going to be up there on your own and you turn around a look behind you and there is nobody there - it's all you!

Q: Have you taken it in a specifically different direction that the material you wrote with the Backstreet Boys?
A: Yes, it is definitely a different direction. There are some songs that could be a Backstreet Boys record but then when you hear the lyrical content you go, 'OK, maybe not!' But the melodies and the harmonies - they have that feel to them. For the most part the sound is completely different. It's more rock, funk and soul with a pop feel. But it's me tapping into the start of where I really want to go. I couldn't go where I wanted to go on my first record because I think it would have taken people much too much by surprise. But for my second record, if this one does really well, I'll do the kind of record I want to do which is straight up funk - anything from Creedence Clearwater Revival to Jimi Hendrix - straight up rock funk.

Q: Normally, the album precedes a tour, but you've done it the other way around. Why?
A: I think just because we have talked about when we are going to make another record. We have talked about the sound that we are trying to go for on this next Backstreet Boys record. I think it's just the timing - it just happens to be what is best for me. We are going to wrap up this whole tour in September and then I am going to continue doing shows like this right up until the single release and then do a proper solo tour next year. But it just seems to be the right time.

Q: Have you found your solo music has had a different reception with American and European audiences?
A: I don't know. I've done two US shows, at the House of Blues and at the Roxy, and they seemed to love it. There was a lot of European fans there but there was a lot of American fans there too, and everyone seems to really love it. They get it - they see that it's me and that's what I want them to see. And also they take something from it because it's more real music as far as directly what I'm talking about. It's more relatable and it's just people - guys and girls. There were guys at my show, there were guys rocking out - I think it's OK to like Backstreet Boys if you are a guy now and even more so, it is OK to like just good music! It doesn't matter who is doing it - a guy or a girl. I spent probably about four years making this record. It started in one direction, and then I went in another direction, and then in another direction again. Everything just kind of fell into place.

Q: What do the other boys think of it - are they supportive of you?
A: They love it - they are in full support. They love the record and they think it's going to do really, really well. After I cut a couple of songs I bounced it off a couple of the guys and said, 'Hey, check this new one out, what do you think?' They all have two particular songs across the board which are their favourites which are London and I Hate It When You're Gone. They are going to be there tonight to watch the show. They haven't seen the show yet so they don't really know what they are in for. It's a little different than a Backstreet Boys show.

Q: You started as an actor in the very beginning - have you got any plans to go back to that?
A: I would love to. I mean, obviously I want to put the cart before the horse, but I definitely want to get back into doing my musical theatre, and I actually want to get a flat here in London next year. I love London and I want to move here. I want to move down to the West End, to really be near the theatre district, and I definitely want to get back into acting again - I do. It's something that I would really love to do. I don't know how many parts I can get with all my tattoos though! I don't want to be stereotyped as the prison guy or the bad guy.

Q: What do you think about Britney Spears starring on How I Met Your Mother?
A: I think her performance on the show will do well. I think as long as she can just keep her feet on the ground and just find herself again. She is a little lost but I know she can do it, I believe in her. I believe in anybody who wants to do something for themselves.

Q: Nick found a lot of fame in the US because of his reality show, House of Carters - would you ever consider doing a reality show?
A: I'm not a big fan of reality television. I can openly admit and accept that TV is becoming a great bit outlet with people nowadays, but the layout of a group like us - we have been doing what we've done for the past 15 years without it - we don't need it. We don't need to conform to doing a reality TV show. There is really not much to us to watch the four of us do a reality show - it would be kind of boring. There's not drama, there's not fighting and bickering - there's nothing to watch. It would have to be made up. I do like stuff like A Hard Day's Night that are more like a true documentary, or something like that that shows who you are there - real - it shows everything. That to me is more credible and more respectful. But I don't know - reality television is the big thing right now. I think Nick learnt a lot about himself through his. He was kind of 50/50 doing it - part of it he hated, and part of it, he learned about himself. I don't think he would ever do it again, but who knows?!

Q: You said the Backstreet Boys' show last night was broadcast on MSN and you have found a lot of success with your solo material through YouTube. How much of an impact do you think the internet is having on the music industry?
A: It's huge. I mean, you ask anybody who is an artist and more than likely in the next five years there's not going to be any more record companies - period. There will be one big huge one that has every artist and iTunes and YouTube and the internet is going to run through that. Or you get artists who become their own record companies. There are people now who are just doing distribution deals with people - they are their record company. And that is what every artist has ever wanted when you really think about it - to have complete and utter creative control and all you really need is a great publicist, a great distribution company and a great marketing plan. The rest is you just doing what you love to do. You don't need a record company nowadays anymore. And record companies are becoming obsolete - there's nothing for them to do. But the internet - especially sites like YouTube and MySpace - is huge. MySpace now is going back to what it was originally meant for, which was for new artists in the music industry to promote themselves. You look at people like Ryan Tedder from One Republic - they were one of the biggest MySpace bands in the world and now look at them! They are doing quite well for themselves! But YouTube has been really great for me with my solo stuff because now I think a lot of fans will know a lot more of the words.

AJ Mclean Proposed To Long Time Girlfriend

On Friday, Backstreet Boys fans everywhere let out a collective sigh when another member, A.J. McLean, went off the market, proposing to girlfriend Rochelle Karidis. The boy-bander spoke to MTV News about the engagement and said he couldn't have picked a better girl to make his future Mrs. McLean.

While celebrating his birthday last weekend, McLean said he knew it was time to make Karidis an honest woman.

"I have had this on my mind for months now, and there was talks amongst me and some of the friends of mine, and actually, I kind if brought it up to [bandmate] Howie [Dorough] once before, as well as Nick [Carter], about possibly doing it on New Year's," he revealed. "I said, 'No, I'm going to wait a little bit longer.' Something clicked. We were having dinner at Nobu prior to it, and I was like, 'I'm just done. I'm done, and this is the one, and she's absolutely phenomenal.' "

He very publicly asked her to marry him at a gig on Friday, which also happened to fall on his 32nd birthday. He admitted that he didn't have a doubt that she would accept his proposal. "I [wasn't] nervous that she'd say no," he said. "I was more nervous that she wouldn't feel comfortable in front of a crowd."

McLean said proposing onstage was the way he always imagined he would pop the question. "That was something else that I always wanted to do," he said. "I kind of had this childhood fantasy of, once I do propose, it's just somehow got to be onstage. I just went up there and grabbed a mic."

Karadis and McLean have been dating for nearly a year, and the Backstreet Boy said he's found his match. "She is my true best friend," he said. "She is absolutely amazing. She's very talented ... supportive ... understanding. She's everything you can possibly want in someone, plus 10-gazllion more. That night, I looked at her, and I was like, 'I'm gonna do it tonight.' "

Now to the important stuff: the bling. "The ring is actually a one of a kind," McLean explained. "It is a square head with princess-cut diamonds surrounding and a one-carat diamond in the center and there's also about 20 or 25 princess-cut diamonds on the actual band. It's a gorgeous ring."

McLean isn't the only Backstreet Boy excited about the engagement. "Nick was extremely happy for me," he said. "Howie didn't know. I actually texted Howie [on my birthday] ... and he sent me one back all capitals, all exclamation points: 'Finally! Congratulations.' And I haven't heard from Brian yet, but I have heard through management, because Brian has been swamped with his family, that he sends his best."

Un Backstreet Boy, comprometido

Está claro que los Backstreet Boys ya no son tan boys. Los chicos crecen, se enamoran, se comprometen... Y ese es el caso de A.J. McLean, uno de los integrantes del popular grupo, que ha decidido sentar cabeza y proponerle matrimonio a su novia, Rochelle Karidis.

El suceso se produjo el Viernes pasado, durante una fiesta del sitio web Naughty America, en el Hard Rock Hotel de Las Vegas.

Poco después de la Medianoche, McLean se subió al escenario y pidió al DJ que apagara la música. Acto seguido, invito a su pareja a subir con él y llevó adelante un ritual a la vieja usanza: se puso de rodillas y le mostró el anillo que había comprado un par de horas antes.

Muy sorprendida, Rochelle respondió a la propuesta (obviamente) con un sí y lo abrazó. Según cuentan algunos testigos, incluso los amigos del cantante quedaron shockeado, ya que no esperaban que esa noche se produjera el gran evento.

¡Ah, el amor!

What Backstreet Boys Songs Should Be Played At A.J. McLean's Wedding?

Posted 8 hrs ago by Jocelyn Vena in Music

Congrats to Backstreet Boy A.J. McLean and his lady love Rochelle Karidis, who got engaged over the weekend. Although the pair quite literally just got engaged, it's never too late to start planning a wedding and what songs will play at said wedding. And with the copious number of songs BSB have recorded over the years, it seems like some have to be played at the couple's forthcoming nuptials. So we've decided to sit down and make a few suggestions.

"All I Have to Give"

A.J. McLean arguably has a lot to give. The Backstreet Boys have sold tens of millions of records and tons of merchandise, so we imagine that he has amassed a generous fortune that would probably lead to a very prosperous marriage.

"As Long as You Love Me"

Fittingly, she must love A.J. to see past his pop star persona for the man that he is. So it seems that this touching pop classic would be a great way to reiterate the fact that these two crazy kids accept one another for who they are.

"If You Want It to Be Good Girl (Get Yourself a Bad Boy)"

A.J. was always BSB's wild card, so this feels self-explanatory.

"I Want It That Way"

You know the way that true love is: That way. Each one is the other's fire and desire, right? Otherwise they probably wouldn't have agreed to spend eternity together. Eternity is a long time, kids.

"I'll Never Break Your Heart"

Never has there been a truer vow when it comes to the sanctity of marriage. In honor of their decision to wed, maybe this should be their first dance song. Plus, Kevin has that killer speaking part. We love a song with a speaking part. You'd have to be inhumane not to.

A Backstreet Engagement!

A.J. McLean of the Backstreet Boys proposed to girlfriend Rochelle Deanna Karidis on stage at the Hard Rock Hotel's Wasted Space nightclub! A witness describes the scene:

"He got up on stage and the DJ turned the music off. He asked her to come up on stage and he got down on his knee and she squatted down with him.

"He asked her and she said yes and hugged him. He took the ring out of his pocket and put it on her hand. She seemed very surprised and didn't seem to know why he was getting on stage."

His friends were said to be surprised as well, who all knew that he was going to propose, but not on that night! Apparently he bought the ring just a few hours before at the Hard Rock Hotel's jewelery store, Rocks.

Maybe he was inspired by the ambience and clientele? The club, hosting a party for the website, "Naughty America," was filled with visitors to the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo convention.

Romantic?

Congratulations to the happy (and horny) couple!
