后街男孩简介
后街男孩
后街男孩的团名“Backstreet”原是奥兰多市的一个著名跳蚤市场（Backstreet Market）的名字，“Backstreet”这个词的直译是“后街”。在大陆地区对他们的译名是“后街男孩”，在台湾地区则是“新好男孩”。
1993年，来自Florida州的初中生HowieD,A.J.,Nick和来自Kentucty州Lexington市的表兄弟Kevin , Brain (高中生)在一间录音室相遇。他们之前均有过表演经验,其中Nick曾演过肥皂剧。大家一见如故,遂进行了长谈,结果他决定组建一个乐队–Backstreet Boys。他们开始录制单曲,但推出后在美国本土销量不佳。在这段乐队历史上最困难的时期他们互相安慰,互相鼓励.他们开始往英国发展（因为英国当时是偶像乐队的发源地，许多偶像乐队都产生在那里）。
五个才华洋溢的少年，不仅舞跳得好、长相俊美、更重要的是他们个个是充满音乐天分的奇才。1994年初成军时仍只是初生之犊不畏虎的小毛头，一年之后，他们推出了第一盘同名专辑,迅速在英国窜红,勇夺英国各大排行榜首位,他们以令人耳目一新的歌和优美的和声,成为无数少男少女的偶像。他们乘胜追击, 终于在歌坛高手云集的祖国红了起来，成为众所瞩目的新偶像，他们就是——“后街男孩”！“后街男孩”的五个成员中，Kevin和Brian来自深受音乐及宗教影响的家庭，从小即在教堂圣乐和唱诗班的熏陶下长大，因此练就了一流的灵魂乐合音式唱腔。之后Kevin决定离开家乡出外打拼，先在迪士尼乐园当导游，同时剩余的时间都致力于成为专业的词曲作家。另外的三名成员，A.J.、Howie、Nick则来自奥兰多。这三个人原本分别活跃于演艺界，演过音乐剧；拍过电影、电视、广告。

有一天，这三个人凑在一起准备替一个新案子试音时，突然发现他们气味相投，于是一拍即合；加上离开家乡出来打天下的Kevin、Brian，五个满怀理想的少年组成一个以优美合音见长的乐团，并以奥兰多最出名的地标为名，“后街男孩”于是诞生！首支单曲“We’ve go it goin’ on”是由Ace of Base的制作人Denniz Pop操刀制作，这首舞曲展现了男孩们活力四射的青春气息，在欧陆方面成绩不俗，在奥地利、瑞士、荷兰、法国等均有打入十名内的嘉绩。接下来的“I’ll never break your heart”是首抒情曲，成功地为他们打开了欧洲的知名度。成绩最好的一首单曲则是“Get Down(You are the one for me)”，在国内也由杜德伟翻唱为“发烧”一曲，其惊人的魅力由此可见一斑。这五个能歌善舞的后街男孩，带着阳光般的笑容，征服全球。首张专辑已获得了四白金，更在舞曲王国的德国、瑞士蝉联冠军。

A.J.Mc Lean: “When I was aboutsix, I started in the acting career, doing theatre and commercials and extrawork and stuff like that and they turnedaround to my favor, and about two anda half years ago we got this group together, and I got to use a gift that Godgave me and now I’ve been using it ever since.”
NickCarter: “Hi I’m Nick and I’m the youngest member of the group. I’m fifteen. I’moriginally from Jamestown, New York. It’s just upstate it’s not like the bigpart, the big city. Then I moved to Tampa, Florida which right now where Iresign.” Others: “Resign? Resign? Retirein Tampa? Reside?”
Nick Carter: “Reside, yeah that’s it. Ohman, I always mess up. I’m sorry.”Howard Dorough: “The first time I remember really wanting to start andsing is when I was around six years old. And I think the very first print Iever did was the Wizard of Oz. I was actually one of the lollipop little guys.So ever since then I realized from that point on I wanted to do like a singingand acting career.”
Richardson: Music’s always been a bigpart of our family. We started in church just singing hymns. I always loved tosing them. It’s just something that came easily.
Brian Littrell : I would have to say I wasaround three or four when I just started like singing along with things thentaking it seriously probably about five or six. I was standing up in front ofaudiences at churches and singing in front of three thousand people and be likethis tall or so. It was a lot of fun. It was just a gift and I enjoyed it. Werecorded our first single. We’ve Got It Going on actually in Stockholm, Sweden.That was an experience for us. It was written for us by Dennis Pop who wroteand produced for Ace of Base. He wrote “The Sign” and “All That She Wants”. Sohe’s had some pretty like success wise like universal success, I guess youcould say because Ace of Base is pretty big in the States as well as Europe.That was an experience for us because it was kind of like we didn’t have theopportunity for him to come to us, so we had to go to him and it turned out tobe you know “We’ve got it going on” and it has our name in it –“Jam on because BackStreet’s got it.”
