Carter on Timberlake rivalry

Backstreet Boy Nick Carter has been talking about the media hyped rivalry between him and NSYNC’s Justin Timberlake – both the boy band stars are launching solo albums this month. Predictably Nick is insisting there's no bad blood between them, although he admits he is sick of the comparisons with Justin: "First of all, the kind of music I'm doing is more rock/pop and his is more like pop/R 'n' B. So, you know, it's two different worlds, you know what I'm sayin'? I'm cool with Justin, I'm cool. I ain't got no problems with him. I'm sure everybody's gonna try to compare it and say 'ooh, here's the next rival'. When you start to get involved in the whole rival thing, it tends to take away from the creativity of the music... what you're doing it for in the first place."
