Dancing with the Stars: AJ McLean From Backstreet Boys Is Signed For Season 29
AJ McLean from Backstreet Boys confirmed via Instagram that he will be joining season 29 of Dancing with the Stars. Even though this won’t be the first time he’s appeared on the show, it will be his inaugural season as a DWTS dancer. Since AJ McLean is a longtime member of the Backstreet Boys, this might be right up his alley.
McLean, whose experience in performing on the stage dates back to his childhood, has been in the entertainment industry since the ‘90s, when the Backstreet Boys were first brought together. Since then, the soon-to-be-reality-star has released solo albums, toured with his band and New Kids on the Block, became sober, gotten married, and had a kid, All the hard work he’s put in has affected his physical health. However, he's still ready for Dancing with the Stars season 29.
According to Reality TV World, he took to Instagram to explain how he’d “been training really hard for the last five months.” He has this to say, “I'm doing this for two reasons: One, to get in the best shape of my life, and to be healthy and to be happy, physically, mentally, and emotionally, and there's something else coming up. Can't tell you what it is-." Then, he shared a post to Instagram that definitively confirmed the news. See his AJ McLean Insta post below:
Now, as he hits the ABC show to put those dance moves to work, he’ll have to take in the critiques of the voters. Fans of the series know just how hard it is to compete on the show. Dancing with the Stars is known for pushing even the finest competitors to their limits. Season 24 showcased just how tough it could be when Normani Kordei Hamilton (a dancer since the age of 3) had a hard time getting voters to crown her the winner. Although the show is about dancing (and dancing well), it seems as though improvement is valued more than the actual talent possessed by DWTS celebrities. At least, sometimes.
With that being said, McLean shouldn’t worry too much. As long as he puts in hard work, it will pay off in beautiful DWTS performances. Plus, no matter what happens, he can still take pride in the fact that he’s achieved the level of fitness that he’s been aiming for.
