AceShowbiz - AJ McLean is overjoyed as his daughter Elliott graduates from elementary school. In a heartfelt Instagram post, the 46-year-old Backstreet Boys member wrote, "Words cannot express how proud I am today as a father." He praised Elliott's growth and praised the teachers who have shaped her. McLean also shared that Elliott's younger sister, Lyric, admires her as a role model.
McLean previously expressed support for Elliott's decision to change her name from Ava to Elliott. He emphasized that it is her choice and that he respects it a million percent.
Meanwhile, in other news, McLean shared his thoughts on the Backstreet Boys' catalog. He admitted that he considers "If You Want It to Be Good Girl (Get Yourself a Bad Boy)" to be "literally one of the dumbest songs." However, he also mentioned that certain tracks, such as "Siberia", "Don't Wanna Lose You Now" and "Get Another Boyfriend," had the potential to be bigger hits.
Regarding Broadway aspirations, McLean revealed that he has always dreamed of playing The Phantom in "Phantom of the Opera" or Dr. Frank-N-Furter in "Rocky Horror". He made his Broadway debut as a guest performer in "Juliet", where he performed a Backstreet Boys song.
McLean also shared his enthusiasm for the "A Legendary Night" tour with Joey Fatone of NSYNC. He praised the show as "fantastic organized chaos" and admitted that there are several NSYNC songs he wishes were Backstreet tracks.
While there are no current plans for a Backstreet Boys and NSYNC co-headlining tour, McLean did not rule out the possibility in the future.
