Everyone is going solo these days. ;)

It's hard to say what his style might be, I'm going with a hip hop flavor.

that's what i was thinking...

maybe like hip-hop or rockish.. i've listend to them alot and he's always been the most rock/hip-hop like out of them.

Don't get me wrong I love Backstreet Boys but I really think that they all need to step down and quit making come backs and going solo. Come on we all saw how well going solo worked for Nick and Brain....oh wait that didn't work out. So please I beg of them just stop it now.

if any of the bsb boys can cut it solo it's AJ...he has the best and strongest voice

my dream has come true.

You would think with AJ's style and taste in music...he'd be doing a funk/soul/rock album.... But to my disappointment it's none of that! I've already heard some of the songs off his solo project and sorry to break this to you but its gonna sound just like every other Backstreet Boy album out...just with out brian and nick's voices in it..... and with out their back up singer...whats his name...And lets face it...all his smooth moves we fell in love with back when he was 16-24... have gone...he's 30 now and trust me he's showing his age on stage. Maybe if this was going to be a Johnny No Name project i'd be more excited about it...but its not and I don't see anyone really picking up this album but a bunch of backstreet groupies who still listen to Nick's album like their life depended on it. I don't know maybe this is just the bitterness talking, that he's not going to rock out

But thats my opinion take it or leave it

I briefly worked with the BSB back in the late 90's and Alex was always the one who stated the desire to go solo. He had an album semi recorded but after he went into rehab for substance abuse/alcahol addiction Jive (Zomba) decided it was too much a risk to continue so Nick Carter's solo album was pushed more, Brians was more of a religious release than commercial.

I have not spoken to any of the band, with the exception of Howie, for several years but do know that Alex is still recording under Johnny No Name (one track on the last BSB album was recorded under that guise).

I would have to disagree with the comment about the smooth moves moving. All of the BSB are recording artists and artists need to change style and apperance after time. Alex has always been interested in a more harder genre of music and this would be a good time to release something along those lines. No artist can stay the same forever. If you look at the top performers who have been around for the last 20 or so years (U2, RHCP etc) they all transcend the look and sound they were playing back in the early 90's

Of all the 'Boy bands' still around I feel the BSB will always have a worlwide audience, the sound has changed and so has the appearance and maturity.

I am no fan, I just had an opportunity to work with them and found five very grounded and mature guys who were nothing short of polite.

I wish Alex the best with these two gigs.

I think he may end up doin RnB. 90's boybands makin comebacks again & again! *sigh* But so does Britney Spears! I concur :( lol

Wish him good luck, but unfortunately don't believe that he'll ever success with solo-project.

I don't see anything special and anything to be remebered in his singing.

I think that, you should be a very bright & unforgettable person to make people think of you not only like ex-BSB singer (as Justin Timberlake, for example). But if he wants to do perfom alone - that's his decision.

i was mad on AJ when i was younger all the best to him but he done it b4 and it didnt really work x x
