I’m Torn: Aaron Carter

aaron carterMy obsession with Aaron Carter stems back to my early middle schools days… and maybe a year or two of high school if I’m being honest. I went to all of his concerts, saw him in Seussical – The Musical not once, not twice, but three times, and followed his and Hilary Duff’s relationship religiously. The day he guest starred on “Lizzie McGuire” was maybe the first time I really knew what love was.

But then one day my beloved Aaron decided to take to drugs, and my delusions of perfection were busted. He divorced his parents, got engaged to a Playboy model for all of two seconds and generally sucked all around. I let my love for AC fall by the wayside.

Now Aaron is back in the spotlight and I’m torn. The last I saw him, Aaron had left me broken-hearted and disappointed. Can he dance his way back into my heart?

Love it

Aaron and his partner, Karina Smirnoff, kicked off the season premiere of “Dancing with the Stars,” and boy was he looking good. His Cha-Cha number was absolutely stunning.  I would go as far as to say, Aaron may be the new Lord of the Dance.

All the bad press surrounding Aaron and the Carter family seems to be forgotten, and apparently, he doesn’t drink anymore! That’s good. Keep yourself out of trouble, Aaron. We know you’ve had problems with gateway drugs in the past. In fact, we saw it live (well, pre-recorded) on E!

I still know all the words to “That’s How I Beat Shaq” and would give anything for Aaron to do a remake of that classic hit. He was a budding pop-star with a bright future. Since his downfall he has cleaned up his act, and I think he deserves another chance.

And between you and me, I secretly hope Aaron Googles his own name, sees this post and contacts me in hopes of regaining a neglected fan. Fingers crossed!

Loathe it

So much of what I loved about him back in his “Oh Aaron” days was his little boy preciousness. But it seems that he hasn’t quite outgrown that phase yet. My guess is he is weighing in at around 101 lbs, two of which can be attributed to the amount of hair gel used to get his blonde locks to swoop in an ocean-like wave. And there is no doubt in my mind that he will never be able to grow a full beard.

Also, and I hate to say it, but I’m questioning Aaron’s sexuality. There was a slight blip on my gay-dar as I watched him shake his hips on “Dancing with the Stars.” I have no evidence to back this up, but I’m definitely going to keep a close eye on his personal life.

And his most grave offense to date happened in a recent interview on Chelsea Lately. No, I’m not talking about that graphic tee he was wearing; Aaron admitted, with a seemingly proud smile on his face, to cheating on Hillary Duff…. with her best friend!  That’s a no-no, little Aaron. What a pig.

So what’s the word, is Aaron’s party back on? Or am I living in the past?

    It sounds like our fandom was almost on the same level. I only saw Seussical once haha but I did meet him twice (& mom and dad once) which basically made my 14 year old life worth living. When 'house of carters' came on, my carter family obsession was renewed. As I read this, my mom is screaming that I need to watch him dance in a green suit on 'dancing with the stars'. I'm over him but he will always a place in my heart because he was the first & only celebrity I truly thought would be my future boyfriend. He isn't a very talented rapper or singer so I don't think a comeback is likely but hey, stranger things have happened.

    I THINK HE'S DOING A GREAT JOB ON DANCIN BUT HE COMES ACROSS AS QUITE STUCK UP. HE'S ALWAYS BEEN VERY FULL OF HIMSELF AND UNFORTUNATELY IT WILL BE HIS DOWNFALL UNLESS HE HUMBLES HIMSELF ASAP.

    I loved Aaron Carter's number last night, the Muppets theme one. He looked like a leading man and it was one of the most creative dances & routines I have seen on this 8 year show.

    In our society, boys have to be taught how to be "men" and unfortunatley, when you don't have a good father that just isn't going to happen. Boys who are not taught what being a "man" is all about, just remain immature and selfish boys their whole life and society is full of them.

    Wow, I am a fan with very close views to you, but even tho he had a rough streak, I never let my love for him wave, and still at newly 21 rock out to some of his tunes, like America AO. That is always fun, especially after a few drinks :) But I am proud of him for pulling his life out of the gutter…not many of our other celebs from that age have seemed to be able to pull themselves back out of a situation. Aaron's music has always meant a great deal to myself…fingers crossed I also hope he would contact me, another fan who stuck by him through and through, I am now watching DWTS and voting tons for him. I hope he takes it to the top! Good luck Aaron! And welcome back!!!!! :)

    this is the first time i've actually paid any attention to aaron carter. And I've already gotten bad vibes from him. So, maybe he is back into his partying days. I think alot of those male dancers hit my gay-dar. It's probably just the way they have to move their hips. So I'm probably not rooting for him, but he probably will be one of the final dancers. Maybe it is the fact that he knows he can do it that turns me off.

    This "kid" is obviously yet another in the vast village of talentless youngsters that "the machine" of entertainment has tried to force feed the uneducated public. His past problems hopefully are past him, but any future past Dancing With the Stars seems improbable. As far as the "gay-dar" comment, has anyone noticed his "crush" on Michael Irvin??? On last night's episode, at one point, if you watched in the background, it appeared Aaron was getting his wish to be ever so much closer to Mr. Irvin by Mr. Irvin putting him in a headlock. I'm sure the youngster was full of sexual excitement at that point…there is a difference between hero worship of a football player and sexual lust as it appears young Aaron is experiencing. I'm sure his past drug and alcohol problems couldn't have anything to do with him feeling ashamed of his oh so obvious sexual tendencies towards men. He's simply a punk kid who road into the limelight on the coattails of his older brother and crashed & burned, as so many of the truly talentless children of the industry do. SO SAD!!!

    Hilarious! I say it is time to move on. As a man (?) he is clearly not the boy you once loved and I'm not sure he's worth re-igniting your heart flame for! Everyone deserves a second chance, sure, but your cons so far outweigh the pros! You can't go back to holding hands!

    I don't think he was stuck up….I remember my daughter loved him for a period of time and he was most gracious and friendly while signing an autograph for her. He took the time to pose one on one with her, sitting close and leaning their heads together for pics. He also gave his phone number to her and her friends….which turned out to be his accurate number and she and her friends chatted with him a few times afterward. And no, my daughter and her friends don't look/act like sluts so I believe that while there may have been a little mutual flirtation, mostly he was just being nice!

    i never really cared much about AC or his siblings since i think boybands were a conspiracy to turn a generation of 12 year old girls into fag hags…

    and all of those alleged sleepovers AC had at Neverland with a recently deceased pop icon…

    Somebody give that boy a Twinkee. Or at least a dingdong.
