We interviewed music pop stars and brothers Aaron and Nick Carter at the Kaufman Astoria Studios recently. Afterward. we watched them sing with some of the muppets. The segment, about sibling rivalry, will appear next month on "Sesame Street."
Who's your favorite Seseme Street character?
Aaron: Elmo
Nick: I like Grover
What do you prefer, singing or dancing?
Nick: Singing
Aaron: Singing, that's cause we can do it better.
Aaron, is it true you sang the theme song for the movie "Jimmy Neutron."
Aaron: Yes. Reaching out to a lot of different audiences with Nickelodeon was pretty cool.
Do either of you plan on being in a movie?
Aaron: I have 2 feature films I'm doing; one for Fox and one for Dreamworks. I just finished doing the the TV shows "Family Affair" and "Touched by an Angel."
Nick: I did "American Dreams". I just released my album recently, so now I'll have more time to do acting.
Nick, did the Backstreet Boys break up or are they just taking time off?
Nick: We're just taking time off.
Which Backstreet Boy are you closest to?
Nick: It changes, but at the moment I hang out with Howie a lot.
What kind of music did you listen to while growing up?
Nick: We listened to the same stuff, Journey, Bob Seger, Nirvana.
Aaron: And M.C. Hammer. Nick would make me head bang to Nirvana. Recently I got to sing "Eye of the Tiger" with Survivor.
Do you feel the need to compete with each other in the business?
Nick: No, I never consider us in competition.
Aaron: If anything, we'll help each other.
Do you have any obsessive fans?
Aaron: In Germany out buses used to get swarmed with fans, about 7,000 girls knocking on the buses. One time, I got out of the bus and there was a girl climbing on the back of the bus.
Nick: Once [The Backstreet Boys] had two girl stowaways in the compartment at the bottom of our bus.
What was your most embarrassing moment onstage?
Aaron: I was singing in a mall, and I picked a girl to come up onstage with me. As I was grabbing her hand, I fell off the stage. It felt like I was in the air forever, flying like Superman.
Nick: It's so embarrassing to fall onstage. One time in Japan, I tried to do a back handstand and fall on my back. I looked like a turtle; I couldn't get up!
What would you be if you weren't performers?
Aaron: Nick would be a nerd. I'd be a football or basketball player.
Nick: I'd probably be in the coastguard
If you formed a new band, who would you choose to be in it?
Nick: We've talked about starting a band with our family, like the Jackson 5 kind of thing.
When you're touring, what is your favorite fast food restaurant to stop at?
Nick: Probably Krispy Kreme. I don't eat fast food that much anymore.
Aaron: I love Taco Bell
We've read that both of you enjoy playing basketball. Who wins playing one-on-one?
Aaron: We just finished playing basketball at my house and I beat him!
Nick: You did not! No way!
