My Night with Aaron Carter and the Aaronators

More than a year after we watched him give the performance of a lifetime at a Mexican restaurant in New Jersey, Carter continues to impress audiences around the world. This year, the former child star has courted a cult-like online following called...

"I saw him in The Fantasticks ten times," a 20-year-old Aaronator named Alexandria Valentine told us at Carter's recent New York show. "He's just really nice and down to earth. Tonight will be the 12th time I'm meeting him. He gave me a kiss on the mouth once-that was cool. I have a video of it."

Other Aaronators also expressed their thoughts about Carter's romantic life. "The heart wants what the heart wants," 18-year-old Gavi Kovacs told us, referring to the pop singer's desire to rekindle his 2003 love affair with Hillary Duff. "It sucks for him, but I don't think it's pathetic in any way."
