AJ McLean Teases Potential Appearance on The Masked Singer
AJ McLean, a well-known member of the Backstreet Boys, has disclosed that he has received several requests to join the celebrity singing competition, The Masked Singer. This news surfaces as the show prepares for its anticipated Boy Band Night, creating buzz among fans.
During a panel discussion at the recent 90s Con in Hartford, Connecticut, held on March 30, AJ shared his experiences with the show. He commented, “They keep trying to get me to do it, and people keep thinking I’m on it every season. I’ve never done it, and well… If I do it, I have to find a way to change my voice.” This indicates the ongoing interest in having him participate, despite his previous refusals.
When questioned by an enthusiastic fan about his potential participation in The Masked Singer, AJ offered a thoughtful response. “If they ask me again… I can’t say I’m gonna do it because then you’ll know I’m gonna do it! I’m not opposed to doing it all,” he stated, leaving the door open for future possibilities.
Following Nick Carter’s Lead
If AJ were to join the show, he would not be the first Backstreet Boy to take on this challenge. His bandmate Nick Carter previously captured the audience’s attention by competing as Crocodile in season 4, where he secured a commendable third place. AJ shared that Nick had managed to keep his participation under wraps for some time, but he had his suspicions. “I’m watching one of the episodes, and I’m like, ‘That sounds like Nick,'” AJ reminisced about his experience watching the show.
AJ eventually pinpointed Nick’s identity during a performance of Britney Spears’ “Toxic,”which he delivered in a distinctive falsetto. “I was looking at this pink alligator, and I’m like, ‘I know those thighs, and I know that a**.’ No one else has those legs but Nick — those little ham hocks. I know that’s him,” AJ recalled, showcasing both humor and admiration for his bandmate’s performance.
The exchange highlights the camaraderie and playful rivalry among the Backstreet Boys, while also feeding into the excitement surrounding The Masked Singer’s upcoming episodes, especially with potential surprises for their fans.
