Source: Channel 4
Judy - Ok, today we've4 got BSB Nick Carter and at 22 he's
apparently worth £100 million. The BSB are mega and now Nick's
branching out as a solo artist, we're going to meet him in a minute,
but first here's his first solo single, 'Help Me'.
[They play the Video]
Judy (J): Nick's here now. Delighted to see you.
Richard (R): Hello! (shakes Nicks hand)
Nick (N): Nice to be here (shakes Judy's hand)
J: Well, this is the first solo single and you've got an album as
well haven't you?
N: Uh...yeah, the album's coming out October 20...uh...27th or
28th... I think..and then its October 7th for the single.
J: Does this kind of mean, as people are speculating, you're
thinking of leaving the BSB?
N: Uh...no, I'm not uh...leaving the BSB. I've been with them since
I was 12 years old, and uh... I've grown up with them y'know,
its..uh..they're my brothers. (smiles) Y'know, and I've have a very
good career with them, and they've taught me alot that I know to
this day, so I really, um...I mean I owe alot to them, but growing
up and being so young, and at a young age, especially, 12 through
to, y'know...you can learn alot of things and growing up on the
road, y'know, you go through alot of things, y'know, I didn't really
know how to be an individual, a person myself...
J: Mmm-hmm, you're the youngest?
N: Yeah... I'm the youngest in the group.
R: Well, that's typical of young men, who aren't in the public eye
anyway, they form gangs - they hang around in groups.
N: Right - yeah.
R: Its the same kind of dilemma.
N: It definitely is - in a way, except...
R: Except...you're....
N: ...in a good gang!! Yeah! (they all laugh) But y'know, the whole
reason why I'm doing this now, is I've always wanted...I've had a
fire in my heart to be a solo....just try and be a solo artist...
R: Yeah
N: ...and see what it'd be like.
R: Uh... I don't thin I've ever sat across someone who's worth £100
million, I know the figures taken out the papers, and its probably a
bit more or a bit less, but lets take it as a rough figure - I mean
to get that for example, you'd have to, I mean...cos the dollar's
worth less than the pound, you'd have to go on your version of 'Who
Wants To Be a Millionaire' 150 times, and win it straight every
time! (Nick laughs) that's how much money you've got!
N: Well..of course..it's not what I have..I'll be honest with
you..uh...y'know...touring and stuff like that...first...y'know..I've
done it for so long, so....
R: You mean you have to pay....
N: Yeah... you have to pay managers, you have to pay y'know the
record company, they're definitely the ones....
R: Do you have to pay for limos? you know when a limo takes you...y'know
is that..added to your bill at the end of the year by the Record
Company?
N: Well..uh...I'm very cautious when I'm on my private time, uh...y'know
I pay for the stuff myself, so...but when I'm doing promotion and
things like that, the Record Company usually takes care of that.
R: So they don't bill you for that?
N: No they don't. Well, in a way its still billed too because it is
recoupable...so...
R: Yeah
N: ...so um..anything they spend on me, is stuff they can get back
from me later.
R: Do you feel it?
J: So is it...( they speak at the same time)
R: Y;know, when you have that much money, y'know, do you feel any
difference in any way?
N: Uh...I don't feel..uh..y'know...I'm comfortable, I'm able to do
things that I wanna do, and I'm blessed, y;know, I mean I worked...I
gave up a large proportion of my life...like especially at a young
age.
R: Sure.
N: ...to do touring and stuff like that, and I mean...its a very
good job, and I enjoy it, I love it, but um..still...
J: I mean you look very....obviously you love singing, obviously
you're very good at it, and now you wanna write more, and all the
rest of it, and that's great, but is it very tough growing up with
all those pressures....I mean just even thinking about money and
stuff like that in your teens....
N: Well..I didn't ...first of all the thing is, we didn';t really
make that much money till the past three years...
R: Mmmm.
J: Mmmm.
N: ...Y'know...REALLY make any money, till the last three years of
the group[ itself, when we were touring and stuff like that...um..
J: Mmm-hmm.
N: It was more so 'Millennium';, the album 'Millennium' and 'Black
and Blue', the albums before we had a large recoupable bill....a
J: Mmm.
N: Towards the Record Company and uh... we went through a couple of
legal battles and things like that with old people, and things like
that, so I mean, these are just things that happen..
J: Yeah.
N: I mean, it happens to alot of the biggest people like Prince,
everybody y'know?
J: Yeah.
R: Well, we've got a couple of things to show you here (Judy laughs
'Oh no' as Richard pulls out a newspaper) Your youngest brother
Aaron - how old is he now?
N: He's 14.
R: (he holds up a newspaper with a picture of Aaron and the headline
read: 'Daddy Cruel - Madeley furious as daughters, 15, dirty dances
with pop hunk Aaron') This is Aaron here, and thats my daughter and
me. (Nick laughs) Apparently, this is not true, apparently I dragged
her away because she was dancing with him. Right? Now, does he ever
talk about Chloe?
J: (laughs) Don't!
R: Because apparently, he has some money of his own! (nick laughs)
J: Oh Richard don't! (Nick laughs)
R: Is this ever a subject of discussion in the household?
N: (laughing) I haven't spoken to him a in a while....so...
J: She'll kill you!!
N: I'll ask him though!
R: What happened was, they were very lucky, they got tickets to this
party, she did, but he was going anyway, um...and she had a little
dance with him..and the papers said that I dragged her off him, or
him off her, but its not true at all, I mean if you ever see him,
tell him he can have a dance with Chloe any time he wants! He can
marry her! (Nick and Judy laugh) Y'know, when he's old enough!
J: Well what he did say to Chloe was: 'Is that your dad over there?'
R: Yeah, I'll tell you what happened, what really happened, this has
never hit the press, (Nick laughs), but I'm standing at the edge of
the dance-floor, my daughter is dancing, I'm sorry I didn't know he
was your brother, he was just a nice good looking guy, (Nick
laughs), and I was looking, I had a beer, and he had then seen me
looking and said: 'Who's that guy over there?' And Chloe said: 'Oh,
thats my dad', and he had said: 'Oh, excuse me, I've had a few bad
experiences with fathers!' (Nick looks flabbergasted and surprised
that Aaron would say that, he laughs).
J: I don't do dads!
R: Yeah, I don't do dads, and walked off, and left her on her own!
(Nick still looks shocked and embarrassed a little!) The other thing
we wanted to show you was... (Judy laughs) anyway give him Chloe's
love next time you see him!
N: Oops! Sorry!
R: Um..midriffs, waists....um...all the girls show them now,
um...there was an international poll this week, and the top three
waists, or midriffs of young, beautiful girls, were Jennifer Aniston,
Holly Valance and Britney Spears!
N: Right
R: And we know you like Holly!
N: Well, she's an attractive woman!
R: She's very nice., well yeah, obviously!
N: I think alot of guys do!
R: O think thats the universal truth! Um..look at the screen, we've
got the three midriffs here, we've got to identify them (Picture A
appears on screen) That could be Jennifer Aniston, Holly, or
Britney, thats A, then B (Picture B appears), then C (Picture C
appears) Any idea which is which? Which one do you think is Holly?
N: Um...
R: You want to see them again?
N: Yeah go on.
R: We're looking for Holly Valance.
J: Are you an expert in midriffs?! (problem with pictures on screen,
a bit of delay)
N: (Picture A comes on) That's Jennifer Aniston
R: OK
J: Yep!
R: OK A's Jennifer Aniston. Go on. Next one (talks to people in
studio) Come on guys! (more delays - but Picture B appears)
N: I think they're trying to fool me on this one, but I think thats
Holly Valance.
R: You think thats Holly.
N: And the last one is Britney.
J: The last one is Britney (shows Picture C)
R: Ok, lets see if you're right?! A you said was Jennifer Aniston -
OK - well done, one out of three! B you said was Holly...
J: Yeah, you're right. And the third one?
R: Well, he's got to be right, its Britney!
J: He's got to be....
R: This guy knows his midriffs!
N: I love my tummies!
R: He passed the tummy test!
J: I suppose most guys these days know their midriffs! (All laugh) I
don't think I'd recognise anybody's midriff"
R: I'm not saying anything! It's great to see you!
N: Pleasure being here!
R: You're touring around, you're going to Europe and stuff.
N: Yeah...um...I'm gonna be all over the place, I'm gonna be
promoting the record, and I'm actually talking about coming back
here...
J: Oh good!
N: ...to do some touring in January, playing some small venues like
two thousand seaters, and....
J: And you're still part of the BSB, you're still working on the
next album....
N: Yeah, I'm still a part, but right now I'm taking my time, and
really concentrating on this,...uh..alot of the other guys are into
their personal lives...
R: Yeah.
N: ....are married, some guys are getting married, news marriages
and ...Brian's about to have a baby, so I mean, there's certain
things going on and this is my love, y'know, I love to create rock
music, I love to perform on stage, and I'm a nutcase when it comes
to perform on stage (laughs), so... I can't wait to get it
going...so..
R: Enjoy it while its all hot!
J: Good to see you!
R: Yeah - good to see you - Thanks
N: Thanks
R: (whispers) Next time bring Aaron!
N: (laughs) I will! No problem! (Judy laughs)
R: OK!
