Summary Sunday, November 30 - December 6 2014

in

Note: After some technical difficulties we finally got this week's post to work properly

Summary Sunday is a series of posts that cover what went on in Aaron Carter's life the previous week. You can check out all the posts in this series here. We opted to upload this week's post on Monday rather than Sunday to not overload you with posts on Aaron's birthday. 

This past week...

Aaron performed four more shows on the ACWWT. 

Three of which are covered above, the other of which is covered in this article by The Local Voice.

The article also features an interview with Aaron in which he reveals an interesting fact -- he doesn't write his own lyrics, but rather has "people that work on my behalf and write songs for me". While some may criticize any artist who doesn't write their own songs, I think it's admirable that he doesn't claim to do something he doesn't. The fact that he doesn't write all his own lyrics also doesn't discredit his own artistic talent, as he's revealed at past concerts that he taught himself guitar, does have some songs he seems to have written himself (one of which is featured in this video we posted), and mixes his own beats. 

That's not the only interview Aaron was featured in this week! 

On Monday, Aaron discussed his music and brings up who wrote some of his songs again, as well as performs, in a two part interview for Music Monday on the DailyBuzz. 

 

On Tuesday Aaron appeared a youtube show called Pillow Talk with CJ, a regular feature of Memphis' Q107.5's youtube channel. 

CJ Lusk, who interviewed him, also posted this awesome picture from the interview on his twitter

 

Which prompted several other screencaps to be posted as people watched the video, some of which Aaron retweeted. 

Besides these interviews, he also posted an "Ask Aaron Carter" video to his official youtube channel, which you can watch if you purchase a paid monthly subscription to his VIP channel, or via a 14 day free trial. 

For $4.99 a month the paid subscription could be a worthwhile investment, as he'll probably post more videos in the future. He certainly hyped up the channel on facebook and twitter before releasing the video (which subscribers could watch live). 

 

On the topic of exclusive videos with Aaron, he facetimed a number of fans this week. Aaron posted several screencaps from these conversations on twitter and a video clip from one on facebook. As he often does he posted his phone number on both media's with requests for people to facetime him, as well as this sweet message to his fans. 

 

Besides spending his time on facetime, Aaron also extended a few more #fanlove offers to his fans this week.

He posted about his free college show offer again, 

 

He also offered a one day #fanlove offer for tickets to the rest of the shows on the ACWWT this year, as detailed below. 

Besides his own #fanlove offers, Aaron also promoted the contest we ran for his birthday, both by retweeting us and tweeting his own link to our contest. 

 

On the topic of Aaron's birthday, he tweeted sharing his excitement for it, as well as a gift request. His tastes have matured, he no longer wants TMNT gifts, but would prefer one of his new favorite things, Louis Vuitton. He also tweeted this week that all the women in his life deserve the finer things, particularly LV. While we doubt that Louis is in the budget for most fans, this tweet certainly gives insight into the general idea of what he'd prefer to get. Between these tweets and his tattoo, we can be sure who Aaron's favorite designer is!

Despite his adult tastes, Aaron can still throwback to his younger self. This week, he posted a picture of himself, in his little bit of free time on the tour, watching the Disney special he once appeared in.

As well as a tweet with a long overdue realization about just how much his fans love him

 

His other throwback of the week included a gif of Nick smashing Aaron in the face with a pie at the Nick Choice Awards as Aaron appears to be making his acceptance speech for an award. 

 

Nick wasn't the only member of the family Aaron posted about this week, he also made several posts about King, his english bulldog and "son".

Summary Sunday, November 23-29 2014

Summary Sunday is a series of posts that cover what went on in Aaron Carter's life the previous week. You can check out all the posts in this series here. Due to holiday madness this week's post is going up a day late. Sorry about that!

This past week...

Aaron performed two stops on the #ACWWT, both in his home state of Florida. On the 23rd he performed in Gainesville and on the 25th he was in Jacksonville. 

After the show in Jacksonville, he had a break in the tour (until his next show, on December 2nd). The break is definitely well deserved, he tweeted that by his estimate he had just done "70 shows without stopping".  

He also recognized his own hard work in the caption of one of his instagram posts 

On the topic of Aaron doing a lot of shows -- did you know he's done over 800 in the past 4 years? He tweeted this bit of information with a plug for the upcoming international leg of his tour, including a link to a poster for his Amsterdam show on instagram. He also tweeted shout outs to fans from a few other countries later in the week. 

Though he took some time off this week, he still visited a sorority and a fraternity in Gainesville. In his postings about these visits, he opened up about his own life, stating that he wishes he had the chance to experience college life. He did seem happy to get to "vicariously do that" through his sorority contest via The Odyssey Online. Statements like that make me wish I was part of a sorority so I could share my college experience with Aaron!

So chill! @tepuf last night in #Gainesville

Even if you don't belong to a sorority, you can still try to bring Aaron to your school with the new contest he announced late Saturday night. 

That's not the only offer Aaron had for his fans this week! Aaron's upgrade offers have been documented in every Summary Sunday post thus far, and now have been given a name by the man himself: " #fanlove " offers. This week's was the chance to get a Diamond VIP package for only $175 (normally $400). Diamond VIP packages are limited to 10 per show (because they include the chance to tour Aaron's bus), so this was an offer to act quickly on. Aaron revealed this offer early to members of his VIP text club (we got the text at 3:01 PM EST Monday), then announced it on twitter and facebook at 10:15 and 9:15 PM EST respectively. 

 

If you want to join his VIP text club (it's free to join, though carrier charges may apply) text CARTER to 84444. He often reveals exclusive offers this way, so I highly recommend joining! 

Besides promoting joining his text club by giving members early access to his #fanlove offer, Aaron also promoted some of his other medias this week. He tweeted and posted on facebook about his pandora, spotify, official youtube channel, and new shots account (which he introduced with the picture below). 

 

He also took time this week to advise fans on the best way to get a response from him (he's known for retweeting fans, following them on twitter or instagram, and more).

Though the tweet is no longer up, he also advised fans not to send him DMs (direct messages) as he rarely checks those. 

 

Finally, this week Aaron posted a reminder on twitter that his birthday is coming up!

 

We have a special contest & collaboration for Aaron's birthday we'll reveal later this week. We hope everyone celebrates it in their own way, especially Aaron!

 

Check back on the 7th (Aaron's birthday!) for another Summary Sunday!

Summary Sunday, November 16-22 2014

in

Summary Sunday is a series we started; every week we post a review of what happened in the world of Aaron Carter the previous week. To see last week's post, click here. 

This past week...

The #ACWWT continued with another 6 shows, in Alabama and Florida. 

During the week Aaron also posted a couple of excited tour updates on twitter and instagram:


Aaron also announced two new stops on the tour, in New Jersey

 

You can get tickets to those shows below, or get VIP packages for the Asbury Park and Teaneck shows.

The shows were announced amidst promotion of another VIP upgrade opportunity. Aaron announced on Sunday that he was bringing back the VIP package upgrade perk he ran last week. He initially announced that limited quantities were available, which was later clarified to be 20. In the end, he extended the contest for anyone who purchased a VIP package before 6 PM PST on Tuesday. Just like last week, Aaron announced these updates on both twitter and facebook, continuing to reward diligent fans who follow him on social media. 

Besides this major upgrade offer, Aaron also had a perk available for anyone at his show in Tuscaloosa on Wednesday ~ buy any merch item at the show and get it signed by Aaron after the show. This announcement came following the announcement that that show was sold out!

Last Sunday was also one of Aaron's dancers, Lee Karis's 25th birthday. Aaron gave her a birthday shout-out, and many of his twitter followers followed suit. 

 

Another important person made an appearance on Aaron's twitter and instagram this Saturday ~ his little brother Kanden! Kanden is Aaron's half brother on his dad's side, and is one of Aaron's lesser known relatives. Kanden is one of the three siblings Aaron has on his dad's side (along with a half-sister and a step-sister). How many fans out there knew about Kanden before this week?

It looks like Aaron and Kanden hung out on his bus while he was in Florida, his home state. But that's not all Aaron did in Florida, he posted a number of pictures on instagram and some updates on twitter, sharing his enthusiasm to be home.

Aaron's busy week also included several interviews, the big ones being with MTV, WBRC Fox 6 in Birmingham AL (or "brrrrrrmingham" as he called it), and The Daily Buzz (which airs December 2). He posted a few things on instagram about the "brrrrrrmingham" appearance.

A video posted by Aaron Carter (@aaroncarter) on

The MTV interview was notable because it featured Aaron's video commentary as he watched the music video for "Aaron's Party (Come Get It)" possibly for the first time EVER. You can watch that video below, or check out the whole interview here. 

 

Interviews weren't the only socializing Aaron did this week. He also visited sororities in Alabama and retweeted a number of things the girls were posting and posted a couple of pictures and a video of his own. You can learn more about how to bring Aaron to YOUR sorority at The Odyssey Online. 

 

The final tweets we want to cover this week are some wise words from Aaron, shown below

and a shout-out and thank you to his fans.

 

Sure was a busy week! Check back on the 30th for the next Summary Sunday post!
