| Richard and Judy 27.09.02 |
| Judy: One of the richest popstars on the planet. 22 he's worth apparently 100million.The Backstreet Boys are mega now Nicks branching out as a solo artist. We're going to meet him in a moment here's his first solo single 'Help Me' Help Me clip Judy: Nick's here now. Delighted to see you. Richard: Hello pleasure to meet you. (shakes hands with him) Nick: Hello Judy: So this is your first single solo. You've actually also done an album haven't you.... Nick: Yeah um the album is coming out 28/27th october (28th Nick lol) i think its the 28th. Then theres the october 7th, the single Judy: So does kinda mean, as speculation is circulating that your kinda leaving the Backstreet Boys Nick: No i'm , im not leaving the backstreet boys. i've been up with then since i was 12 yrs old. I grew up with them. uh they're my brothers.i've had a very good career with them and they've taught me alot that i know to this day. so um i owe alot to them. you know, growing up being so young, at a young age, especially you know 12 through to a certain age, you learn alot of things, you know. Growing up on the road you like learn alot of things, you don't realise it so i really didn't know like how to be an individual person, a person by myself Judy: mmmhmm. Your the youngest actually aren't you? Nick: Yeah i'm the youngest in the group so...... Richard: That's typical of young men anyway who aren't in the public eye. They form gangs, they hang around in groups Nick: Right Richard: It's the same kinda dilemma(?) Nick: It definately is.i mean in a way except i'm Richard: Your worth 100million Nick: I was in a good gang...yeah. The thing is the whole reason why i'm doing this now is i've always been. i've always had a fire in my heart to just wanna be a solo, to try to be a solo artist. Richard: I don't think i've ever sat across someone who worth 100million Nick What, what (looking confused) Richard: I know it's probably been exagerated in the papers and stuff. It's probably a bit more a bit less. Lets take it as a rough figure. To get that i mean cos the dollors worth a bit more than the pound, you'd have to go on your version of who wants to be a millionare 150 times over and win it every time straight. Nick: Of course it's not what i have. To be honest with you. We touring and stuff like that, first off i've done it for so long so. Richard: I mean do you have to pay....... Nick: You have to pay, managers, you pay uh the record company. They're the ones you defiantly pay for. Richard: Do you pay for your limos? I mean when you take limos is that added to your bill at the end of the year? Nick: Well actually i'm very cautious when i'm on my private time, i do pay for the stuff. But when i'm doing promotion and stuff like that the record company takes care of that. Richard: So they don't bill you for that Nick: No. Well in a way it's still billed too cause it is recoupable so. Anything that they spend on me is stuff that they can get back from me later. Richard: Right. So do you feel different. I mean anyone who has that much money must feel different in any way Nick: I'm,I'm comfortable. I'm able to do things that i wanna do and everything. I'm blessed you know. I gave up a large portion of my life like especially at such a young age to touring and stuff like that. It's a very good job i enjoy it, i love it but still i....... Judy: Yeah. Obviously you love singing and your very good at it and all the rest of it. and now you wanna write more and all the rest of it. Is it tough growing up with all those pressures? i mean just even thinking about money and stuff like that when your in your teens Nick: Well i mean i didnt, well first of all we didnt really make money until the past 3 yrs, i mean really make money until the last 3 yrs of the group when we was touring and stuff like that. It was more so Millennium and Black and Blue, uh the albums before we had a large recoupable bill. and uh we went through a couple of legal battles and things like that, with old people and things. So i mean these are things that happen. It happens to alot of the biggest people, i mean like Prince. Richard: I got a couple of things to show you here. Your younger brother Aron Nick and Judy: Aaron Richard: How old is he now? Nick: He's 14. Hold up a newspaper article Richard: Thats Aaron there and thats my daughter(also Judy's) and me.(Nick laughs reading it)at a party. I was apparently, this is not true, apparently i dragged her away cos she was dancing with him. Does he ever talk about Chloe? Judy laughs and says don't Richard: Cos i know he has some money of his own. Is it a subject of discussion that beautiful english girl that i had a dance with at the britney spears premiere. Nick laughs not believing he said that & neither can the rest of us! Nick: I haven't talked to him in a while so......... Judy: (to Richard) She'll kill you Nick: I'll ask him about it Richard: What happend was they got, they were very lucky, they got tickets to this party, well she did he was going anyway. they had a little dance and the paper said i dragged her off him.and it's not true at all, If you ever see him tell him he can have a dance with Chloe anytime he likes, he can marry her. When he's old enough Judy: What you, what he did say to Chloe is that you dad over there Richard: Yeah this is what happened. This is what really happened. this has never hit the press. I'm standing at the edge of the dance floor. my daughter is dancing with Aa....im sorry i didn't know he was your brother. What i saw was a nice looking guy. i've just looking got a beer. And he then saw me looking and said to Chloe 'Who's that guy over there?' and uh she said thats my dad. and he then said.....'oh excuse me i've had a few bad experiences wih fathers' Judy: I don't do dads (laughs) Nick opens his mouth in shock lol Richard: And he walked off. Left he standing on her own! Anyway give him Chloes love. The other thing i wanted to show you was midrifts waists. There was an international poll this week. and the top three on midrifts, waists. of beautiful girls. were Jennifer Aniston, Holly Valance and Britney Spears and we know you like Holly. Nick: I think she's a very attractive girl. i mean i think alotta guys think that don't they Richard obviously thinks so cause he's getting in a tizzy. They have 3 pictures of midrifts and Nick has to pick who's midrift is who's. He gets them all right. Judy: I suppose most guys these days are very aware of peoples tummies. I don't think i'd recognise anybody's midrift at any time Richard: I'm passing no comment at all. um listen it's great to see you. Your touring around, going to europe Nick: I'm gonna be all over the place i'm promoting the record. and i'm actually gonna be talking about coming back over here and doing some touring in January. Judy: Oh good! Nick: Playing some small venues. Like 2000 seater. Judy: And your part of the backstreet boys, your still working on the next album? Nick: Yeah i'm still working, but right now i'm taking my time and really concentrating on this cos alot of the other guys are into their own personal lives. Some of them are married or getting married, new marriages. Brians about to have a baby. so i mean there's certain things been going on. This is my love, i love to create rock music. i love to perform on stage and im a nut case when it comes to performing so i can't wait to get it going. Richard: Enjoy it while it's all hot. Judy: Thanks for coming in it's good to see you Richard: Yeah thanks Nick: Thanks Richard: (whispers) Next time bring Aaron Nick: I will.
