Indian music becoming a rage in US: Backstreet Boys
Bollywood and Indian music are often discussed in Hollywood and are slowly becoming a rage, say members of popular American band Backstreet Boys.
“Bollywood is constantly mentioned in Hollywood. Indian music is very influential and is slowing becoming a rage in the US. Even Indian movies are big there like ‘Slumdog Millionaire’,” Nick Carter, a band member, said.
The band is even open to an Indian association, if they like the music.
“We are always on the lookout for something new. If it makes an impact on our vision, we are open to any collaboration,” said Carter.
The artists were in India to participate in the Romanov Red Rock ‘n India music festival, which was held in the capital and Bangalore last weekend. They belted out their all-time hits at the shows.
When asked how they were feeling on Indian soil, Dorough replied: “This is our first trip here and we are so happy to be here. Hopefully, we will be back soon with our own show.”
Formed in 1993 in Orlando, Florida, Backstreet Boys originally had five members — A.J. McLean, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, Nick Carter and Kevin Richardson. However, in 2006 Richardson left the group to pursue other interests.
The band, which has released seven albums so far, created a place for themselves in the music industry with hit numbers like “Everybody”, “Quit playing games”, “As long as you love me” and “I want it that way”.
So how easy has it been to stay united, especially after 17 years of being together?
“We have a really good bond. We are a family. This is what we are supposed to be doing and we enjoy it. So splitting up never occurred even though we have been together for 17 years now,” said A.J.
Talking about their last album, “This Is Us”, Carter said it spelt quality.
“Our new album has some of our best works that we have done in a long time. Last few years we were in a discovery process and this album has captured all the hard work that we have been doing in the last five-six years.
“The material we have on that album is really quality material. The entire album is our sound, what we represent. It’s a kind of a get back on your feet album,” he said.

Spotted: Backstreet Boys Prove They Have Soul In Seoul

Every day a multitude of stars wanders through the halls of MTV News to talk about their latest projects and goof around with our intrepid correspondents. But sometimes we catch stars elsewhere, and that's why we put together Spotted!, a daily compendium of stars in the wild.
Getting big in pop music isn't necessarily an impressive feat, but staying big requires talent, charisma, drive and more than a little bit of luck. It's nothing short of impressive that the wave of bubblegum pop artists who ruled the airwaves at the turn of the century are still relevant and at the top of their games in 2010. Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake are some of the most respected icons on the music scene, with the Backstreet Boys not far behind. Though they have 20 percent fewer members than they did 10 years ago, they continue to produce albums and sell out venues all over the world. In fact, the group took the stage of Melon-Ax Hall in Seoul, South Korea for a concert last night. It's more proof that the language of pop is universal, and that Backstreet has always been back.
They weren't the only stars getting out of the house this week, as newly-engaged Hilary Duff showed off her ring and enjoyed a meal with fiancé Mike Comrie at Los Angeles restaurant Katsuya, while 50 Cent performed in Berlin, Germany. Click here for these photos as well as the entire "Spotted!" archive, which features over 400 candid shots of stars like Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Jennifer Lopez, the Jonas Brothers, Mariah Carey, Jay-Z, Shakira, Diddy, Lil Wayne, Miley Cyrus and John Mayer!
