Backstreet Boys’ AJ McLean may be a member of one of the most popular boy bands in history, but it seems his 10-year-old daughter, Elliott, has a different love for ’90s music. Specifically, *NSYNC, the iconic five-piece that dominated the airwaves alongside the Backstreet Boys. According to AJ himself, he has “caught her multiple times” jamming out to *NSYNC’s music, with Elliott quietly mouthing the words while wearing her iPad and AirPods.
AJ humorously expressed his surprise, saying, “And I’m like, ‘Oh, really?!'” It seems that despite his success with the Backstreet Boys, his daughter has a preference for the music of Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick.
Interestingly, AJ isn’t the only dad in the “Dad Band” campaign for The Children’s Place, where he stars alongside *NSYNC’s Joey, along with Boyz II Men’s Wanyá Morris. Joey shared that his 13-year-old daughter, Kloey, also has a similar preference for *NSYNC’s songs. So, it seems both AJ and Joey are experiencing a twist of fate as their daughters favor their musical rivals.
This lighthearted revelation showcases the enduring popularity of both the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC, even among the younger generation. It’s heartwarming to see how the music of these boy bands continues to resonate with fans of all ages.
While AJ may playfully tease his daughter about her *NSYNC fandom, it’s clear that he supports her musical choices. After all, music has a way of connecting people, regardless of their personal preferences. It’s a reminder that music has the power to transcend boundaries and bring people together, as evidenced by the ongoing popularity of both the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC.
So, whether it’s Backstreet Boys or *NSYNC, the important thing is that these dads have passed down their love for music to their children. Perhaps in the future, we might even see Elliott and Kloey joining forces as the next generation of pop stars, continuing the legacy of their famous fathers.
