Aaron Carter, the twelve-year-old brother of Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, shows how far a kid can go with a little luck, a little hard work, a creative reading of North American child-labor laws and a stage mom who probably shows up at auditions clenching a Luger between her teeth. Aaron's mom has already written his biography, titled Aaron Carter: The Little Prince of Pop, which has to be one of the most humiliating fates that could ever befall a preteen boy. On the single "Aaron's Party (Come Get It)," he raps about raising some after-school heck over a sample from Young M.C.'s "Bust a Move." Elsewhere, Aaron discovers the thrills of impending puberty with a helping hand from "My Internet Girl" and chirps the least metaphorical version of "I Want Candy" ever -- this poor kid really does want candy, although I bet he's not allowed near the stuff. Aaron's voice is too Buffy, not Jody enough, with a subtle undercurrent of Cissy, but ultimately, this is the kind of family affair that only an Uncle Bill could love. (RS 853)
