Baylee Littrell was eliminated before the Top 14 in Season 23 of American Idol, but he’s still pursuing a career in music now that his time on the show is over. Following the release of his new song “Hey Jesus,” the son of Backstreet Boys singer Brian Littrell opened up about what direction he’s heading in … and how Carrie Underwood has inspired him. “One cool thing Carrie Underwood told me, she said, ‘Dude, you are your own genre, so don’t try to pigeonhole yourself and try to create it,'” Littrell told Music Mayhem. While he mostly performed country music on the singing competition, he’s now adding other sounds, including gospel elements, to his songs. “I’m still taking the elements of country where I’ve been for the last seven years and implementing that towards more signer-songwriter soft rock elements,” he continued. “I’m taking from a...

“This is insane. I’m losing my mind,” Aj McLean told a sold-out crowd at Sphere Las Vegas on opening night of the Backstreet Boys’ Into the Millennium residency. “I’ve cried at least four times since we’ve been up here.”

McLean wasn’t the only band member overcome with emotion during Friday’s nostalgic, otherworldly trip down memory lane. Kevin Richardson became so choked up he couldn’t sing his verse of “The Perfect Fan,” while Brian Littrell cried next.

Nick Carter was meanwhile fighting tears before he even rose onstage for 1999’s anthem “Larger Than Life,” which had audience members seemingly dancing through space while dodging meteorites thanks to Sphere’s immersive visuals.

“As I was about to come up, I started breaking down and crying because it was so emotional and surreal,” Carter told THR in an exclusive interview. “We’ve been together so long and...

Brian Littrell is suing.

The 50-year-old Backstreet Boys singer filed a lawsuit against Walton County, Florida, accusing the sheriff’s department of refusing to keep trespassers off of his private beach.

Baylee Littrell had the support of dad Brian Littrell and mom Leighanne Littrell during his American Idol journey earlier this year. The proud parents watched him make it all the way to the Top 20 before being eliminated. However, the Backstreet Boys singer initially didn’t even want his only child to audition for the show. “To be honest with you, I didn’t want him to do it at first, but they courted him for a couple of years,” Brian told Parade. “They were like, ‘Come and audition,’ and he was like, ‘Nah.’ I don’t think he was ready at that time, but he did well. He stepped up. He’s super professional. He’s just a great individual. He’s just a great person. He has a heart of gold, and he’s super talented.” Brian was in the audition room when Baylee got his golden ticket to Hollywood from judges Carrie Underwood,...

The Backstreet Boys are getting more candid than ever.

The iconic “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” boy band spoke out in an interview with Parade, out now.

During the conversation, they spoke about group member Brian Littrell‘s health diagnosis, his son performing on American Idol, Nick Carter becoming a Little League coach, the idea of teaming with *Nsync, and much more.

It’s hard to believe the Backstreet Boys first hit the music scene nearly 30 years ago!

The boy band – featuring members Aj McLean, Brian Littrell, Howie Dorough, Kevin Richardson, and Nick Carter – dropped their debut self-titled album back in 1996.

Since then, the guys have still remained at the top of their game and just recently released a Christmas album, titled A Very Backstreet Christmas, in early October 2022.

A season of American Idol that’s already been a full-fledged rollercoaster ride of heartbreaks and raw talent recently stunned fans with one of its most surprising and emotional eliminations. Baylee Littrell, son of Brian Littrell from the Backstreet Boys, was eliminated from the Top 20.

The 22-year-old has had a smooth run in the competition until he was cut with this wild elimination. Brian couldn’t seem to hold back tears while talking about his son’s journey on the show. The iconic boy band wasn’t just cheering on Littrell from the sidelines- they were all in. While Baylee’s journey on the show might’ve come to an unanticipated end all too soon, the moment stands as a significant one for the entire Littrell family.

Baylee Littrell’s American Idol run

Baylee Littrell wasn’t just another contestant who walked onto the stage of American Idol and auditioned.

Baylee Littrell, son of Backstreet Boys member Brian Littrell, concluded his journey on Season 23 of American Idol after reaching the Top 20. Despite his elimination, Baylee received an outpouring of support from his family and fans.

Baylee has repeated

In an Instagram post, Baylee expressed gratitude: “My American Idol journey has come to an end. Thank you so much to all who supported me this season. I love you all.”

His father, Brian Littrell, responded with heartfelt words: “Bubba I am and always will be in your corner. You are so strong and so very talented, and inspire me every day. It’s never the end, only the beginning for so many to be blessed ….”

Baylee’s mother, Leighanne, also shared her pride, commenting, “You killed it, Bubba! So So Very Proud!”

In 2019, Baylee opened for the Backstreet Boys on their concert tour.

Baylee Littrell‘s journey on American Idol came to an end during the Monday, April 21, episode. The aspiring singer was one of six artists eliminated after the reveal of the top 14. After the episode aired, Baylee took to Instagram to address the situation, writing, “My American Idol journey has come to an end Thank you so much to all that supported me this season I love you all #idol #bayleetrain.” His dad, Backstreet Boys singer Brian Littrell, popped into the comments section to send him love. “Bubba I am and always will be in your corner,” he wrote. “You’d [sic] are so strong and so very talented, and inspire me every day. It’s never the end, only the beginning for so many to be blessed by your gifts….. you killed it last night.” Baylee made the top 20 and performed on Easter Sunday for America’s votes.

There was an absolute bloodbath on Monday's episode of American Idol, with the number of contestants dropping from 20 to 14. Among the unfortunate was Baylee Littrell, the son of Brian Littrell of the Backstreet Boys.

The 22-year old singer from Alpharetta, Ga., performed "All of Me" by John Legend as his "save me" song after failing to make it through via the viewers' overnight vote. America's top 10 vote-getters all advanced, and then the three judges — Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, and Lionel Richie — got to pick the other four. They had nothing but positive comments about Baylee's latest rendition, but alas, it wasn't enough to keep him in the competition.

The night before, Baylee had belted out "Gone Without Goodbye," a song written by his father following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. In an emotional moment, Baylee revealed to America that his mother was supposed to be on one of the airplanes that crashed that fateful day.

Baylee Littrell is making a name for himself on Season 23 of American Idol. The country artist, whose dad is Backstreet Boys singer Brian Littrell, has made it to the Top 24 and will perform for America’s votes for the first time. But with his rising stardom has come the negative side of fame, making Baylee susceptible to negative comments and criticism online. Many American Idol viewers have theorized that nepotism played a part in judges Carrie Underwood, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan‘s decision to push him through Hollywood week and into the top 24. However, many others have also jumped to Baylee’s defense from the critics and doubters. One Reddit commenter said that they don’t think being a “nepo baby” has had much of an impact on how well Baylee’s done in the competition. “They didn’t even show his showstopper [round] performance and they’ve [criticized] him more...

American Idol is moving ahead with full steam, and recently, Backstreet Boys’ member Brian Littrell was spotted once again singing along to his son Baylee Littrell’s song “Hey Jesus” with his emotions pouring out — although the song was being performed publicly on such a big stage for the first time.

Baylee went on to sing this song he had written for his late grandmother during the March 31, 2025, episode of American Idol Season 23. Before starting, Baylee revealed that he was very close to his grandmother and that it was her who he’d spend time with while his father was away touring. However, her passing caught him by surprise, and it pushed him away from faith. He further added that the song, “Hey Jesus,” was written after her passing and it’s the song that helped him find that “faith” again. As soon as he started singing, everybody instantly related to the song,...

“Can’t we just keep them all?” Carrie Underwood asked during Monday’s American Idol, which marked her first time suffering through Hollywood Week from the other side of the judges’ table.

And her stress was completely understandable. Having to narrow 144 singers down to 62 would have anyone crying out for Jesus to take the wheel — not to mention the added pressure that came up with the return of the Idol “Arena,” a musical lion’s den in which each contestant performed at random while surrounded by their entire competition.

The American Idol audition rounds have been filled with surprising talent and familiar faces.

Idol viewers were introduced to Baylee Littrell, the son of Backstreet Boys’ Brian Littrell. He performed for the judges and was given a ticket to Hollywood.

Most recently, Idol viewers were given a glimpse at another auditioner with a famous musical family that goes back two generations.

Lola Bonfiglio appeared in front of the judges on the most recent episode of the popular ABC show.

She was there with her famous mom and aunt, Carnie and Wendy Wilson of Wilson Phillips. However, her grandfather, Brian Wilson, may be the most famous of them all.

Despite an impressive audition with her mom and aunt singing Hold On and Lola’s solo performance of Rainbow, her famous connections didn’t win over viewers.

There have been countless American Idolhopefuls that have fit the bill of “nepo baby.” Sometimes, it’s a passing comment that’s brought into the conversation and never addressed again. Other times, it’s almost as if these hopefuls pretend their famous relatives don’t exist. In the premiere of American Idol Season 23, Baylee Littrell entered the room and immediately, everyone acknowledged his connection to his famous dad, Brian Littrell of the Backstreet Boys.

American Idol host Ryan Seacrest came out in defense of 2025 contestant Baylee Littrell after he received allegations of nepotism.

Littrell, the son of Backstreet Boys star Brian Littrell, auditioned with an original song in a Season 23 episode of the American singing reality show, which aired on March 9. The 22-year-old impressed all three judges and secured their votes to move forward in the competition.

“You’re really good, like, really good,” Carrie said. “I loved the song, and that’s a risk too, when people come in singing their own songs. That was great, and you went there emotionally and I think you could go very, very far in this competition.”

“We’re super proud. He’s obviously grown up in the business,” Brian said outside the audition room, getting choked up. “You know, I think he’s cut out for it.

American Idol kicked off Sunday night with its annual promise: to serve as a launching pad for aspiring young musical talent. But some contestants already have a head start with a familiar advantage: the lineage of a famous family.

Season 23 rolled out its first “nepo baby” with Baylee Littrell, son of Backstreet Boys member Brian Littrell, who auditioned in front of judges Carrie Underwood, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan.

“There’s something about you that looks familiar,” Underwood said to the 22-year-old Georgia hopeful.

Idol didn’t hide Baylee’s background, it leaned into it: showing footage of dad Brian introducing him onstage and performing, and a photo of Underwood with Backstreet Boys posters on her wall.

The Season 23 premiere of American Idol was all about the return of Carrie Underwood. The Season 4 champ officially took her seat on the judges' panel next to Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan, 20 years after she won the reality TV singing competition in 2005. The eight-time Grammy winner replaces Katy Perry, who left the series after seven seasons as a judge. This is the eighth cycle of American Idol on ABC following the show's original 15-season run on Fox from 2002 to 2016.

The two-hour premiere aired Sunday, March 9 (8 p.m. Et/Pt) and featured auditions from New York, Los Angeles, and Nashville. As the show's only constant since the series premiere in 2002, Ryan Seacrest returned as host.

The 50th anniversary special of "Saturday Night Live" doesn't happen until Sunday night, live at 8 p.m. Et/5 p.m. Pt on both NBC and Peacock, but the festivities kicked off early on Friday, just in time to show "SNL" some love on Valentine's Day.

Along with the recently released spectacular documentary series looking back at the history of "SNL," Peacock aired a livestream of "SNL 50: The Homecoming Concert," a star-studded event that unfolded live in New York City at Radio City Music Hall on February 14. Not only did the special event bring together some of the biggest musical acts from the five-decade history of the late night sketch comedy series, from Cher to Lady Gaga to Jack White and more, but it featured some of the show's cast members doing musical bits -- not to mention a stunning array of celebrities just having a good time watching the eclectic music line-up.

The Backstreet Boys just delivered a live rendition of their 1999 hit “I Want It That Way” with a little help from … Jerry Seinfeld?!

The one-of-a-kind performance took place during the SNL50: The Homecoming Concert on Friday night. Original boyband members Aj McLean, Kevin Richardson, Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, and Brian Littrell performed for a packed house including former Saturday Night Live cast members, hosts, and musical guests.

Near the end of “I Want It That Way,” Littrell ran into the A-list audience and stuck his microphone in front of Seinfeld’s face. To the surprise of many, the 70-year-old comedian started singing the lyrics along with Littrell — and yes, Seinfeld even appeared to know all of the words.

The Backstreet Boys are heading back to Las Vegas for another residency!

The popular boy band – Aj McLean, Brian Littrell, Howie Dorough, Kevin Richardson and Nick Carter – just announced their Into the Millennium summer 2025 residency at the Sphere. They are the first pop act to perform at the venue!

“We’re heading ‘Into The Millennium’ once again!

The Backstreet Boys have just announced their summer 2025 “Into the Millennium” residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, making them the first pop act to perform at the immersive, state-of-the-art venue. The popular '90s boy band is set to perform nine shows this July, with the exciting musical event produced by Live Nation. It will take place on July 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, and 27.

There’s something I need to put out in the open at the outset. The infamous Lou Perlman, the focal point of Netflix’s latest docuseries Dirty Pop: The Boy Band Scam, died in 2016, eight years prior to the release. There is real footage of Perlman that has been used in the documentary, but his words are AI-generated. They’re from Perlman’s autobiography Band, Brands & Billions alright, but it’s still not the man actually talking. Sure, the makers are entitled to take such artistic liberties, but this feels like cheating to me. We’re going to address this later, but first, let us look into what the three-part docuseries is all about.

From "I Want It That Way" to "I'll Never Break Your Heart," the Backstreet Boys are known for their hit love songs, but what do their personal love lives look like? Over the years, all five members of the group - Aj McLean, Howie Dorough, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, and Brian Littrell - have gotten married and started families of their own.

Most of the band members actually have really sweet stories of how they met their wives. One of them actually met their significant other on the set of a Backstreet Boys music video, while another met his wife before Backstreet Boys fame when he was still working at Disney World. And apparently, tours are now often family affairs.
