At the end of April we released our third interview with Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys on Clizbeats.com. That interview talked about everything going on with BSB! Nick told us about getting a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, their new documentary, and getting a new single from Max Martin. It turned out to be another Backstreet Boys exclusive that wasn’t even planned. What ended up becoming a really great interview began from just a casual message exchange between friends.

On March 23rd the Backstreet Boys posted a video of themselves doing the Harlem Shake/ Soon after that the video was getting all kinds of coverage from various entertainment news sources around the world. Craig began talking with Nick Carter about how funny it was, and Nick asked us to promote it. Nick then began to tell us about his fiancée Lauren Kitt’s new YouTube show, “Kitt Fit.” That led to us calling Nick directly to do an interview, and catch up with him at the same time. Nick covered everything going on in his world, and everything coming up in the near future for the Backstreet Boys. It is kind of funny that it all started with us just talking with Nick about doing the Harlem Shake. In this All Access exclusive, you will get to hear Nick Carter telling the fun story behind the Backstreet Boys’ unique Harlem Shake YouTube video, which has been seen over 3 million times.
