Aaron Carter - Fool's Gold (Behind The Scenes) 

Thank you 🥹 Aaron was such a talented guy and we had a blast creating with each other. Music or music video, it was always about the art!

Yes John thank u thank u. Followed him since we were both nine yrs old. I’m so glad u cared enuff to do this when no one else would. Thank u

This is the best comment I've read since his passing...thank you♥️

Don’t forget CHILDHOOD ABUSE. That’s where this stems from

Jon I apologize for misspelling ur name. It’s really pissing me off that so many people disparage such a kind talented human being…. We saw all this coming since he first came out in 1997. The way they worked him. The shit they had him on to continue it… Just so sad. Blame doesn’t rest with him in the end. The world including his own family wasn’t good to him and that NEEDS to be told ferociously.

True.

Yes this was probably his favorite album he released. I remember how proud he was of this album❤. Rest easy Aaron C the greatest prince of pop to walk our earth❤❤❤

Absolutely what a brilliant mind he had! That Love album is his magnum opus ! ❤

Fatima Peralta Yes 😢

Brilliant song and album ❤

@@tula1433 Luvvvv .

Best comment. Exactly this. 💯

I noticed he went downhill after that split with that lina chick

Even here they were criticizing him and clowning on him! The public needs to take accountability for how cruel they were to him even when he was doing incredible!

He was not healthy, too skinny and pale, he was on drug but he was not so bad, very handsome, passionate, professional... His health getting worse after that.

He was always so kind and friendly. My heart hurts for him, people were so cruel.

Trauma and abuse perpetrated by his mother and father and his baby momma , Melanie, caused him to do drugs . Drugs aren't the issue Narcissists are

Definitely without a doubt,his own loved ones destroyed his life 😭😭❤

I’m mot going to lie! Nick seems selfish! Aarons voice was so much nicer

@@evaramirez2946 nick was jealous as Fuck of Aaron and deliberately sabotaged his career .

I would think that more talented that nick

❤️❤️❤️

He got hate not because of talent, but because he wasn’t a good person. Fame or No fame,

@@suzannetaylor6285 the sad thing is he was a decent person at the beginning..I've Been a fan from the beginning as a kid. Drugs changed him to be a narcissist and just brag and lie all the time. So that's how some will remember him as a jerk which is unfortunate.

​@@suzannetaylor6285 It amazes me that people can summarily judge Aaron Carter as "not a good person"---based on what? On the things he said and did when he was at the low points in his life? WHO would like to be judged the SAME way? How is this fair at all? Granted, he didn't present a wonderful picture of himself while on live streams and on social media, but, tell me: if ANYONE were live-streamed almost 24/7 and tweeted constantly without a filter every single day, WHO would come out smelling like roses? (Hint: NO ONE--not you, not me.) Aaron was reacting to trolls, and being defensive. He wasn't "crazy" or "being a lunatic"-- he was trying to defend himself, for better or worse. He didn't try to hide or pretend or put on a nice facade. Other musicians have mighty PR teams that craft their image, and they don't live-stream their lives---if they all did, we would probably think Aaron was an angel compared to them. I mean, he was self-aware and transparent---too much so: that's what tormented him and came back to bite him, and also what turned some people away (what's that saying about "too much honesty"?). He had to deal with a lot of trauma and tragedy, and became addicted to some substances to cope, but people say: "He is ultimately to blame: he did this to himself!". Really? Blaming the addict is too simplistic. Addiction is complex, and in the case of Aaron, many factors come into play, in addition to the strong biological pull of the addiction. Aaron definitely shares some of the blame, but definitely not ALL the blame. Dear God: People should be more understanding, and try to see his downfall as combination of various unhelpful or even harmful people and situations. Having watched practically all the interviews he did over the years, and even the livestreams that people say "proves" he was a bad person, I actually have the *opposite* impression: I am struck by what a basically GOOD (though flawed) person he was. He was intelligent, talented, and extremely hardworking, always passionate about continually improving himself and learning new skills. He was traumatized by many people and past events, and struggled hard to pull himself up continually. He was intensely aware of his own shortcomings (he admitted to huffing compressed air and smoking weed, but he worked hard to stay away from all *other* substances), and he continually accepted rehab (up to 5 times) and people's attempts to help him, which is why I'm PUZZLED that people keep accusing him of "not listening to people who wanted to help him". No, no, no. That's not it. On social media and streams, he got angry and upset about people JUDGING him and BERATING him to "get help"---why? Because he already DID accept help, and DID go to rehab many times, and at the very end, he was having regular outpatient treatment---so, not residing in a rehab center, but accepting help as an outpatient (he reportedly missed his last appointment, probably because that was the day he passed away). So why do ignorant people keep saying that he "refused help", and "didn't want to listen and has only himself to blame"? People say he is a "narcissist". Well, if that's the worst thing ANY celebrity could be accused of...they've done well indeed. What people don't understand is that he felt that he HAD TO self-promote-*who else* was going to promote him? The music industry had turned its back on him! He had to brag and self-promote and exaggerate his good qualities and achievements because he felt (correctly) that the mainstream media were deliberately ignoring or blacklisting him. I listened to all his bragging (and his own admission (in one interview) to being narcissistic--yes! He was aware of what he was doing!) and what I really heard was: "Hey! People are putting me down, but here's me fighting back! I'm going to tell you what I'm proud of, because I have self-respect!". So, I didn't react negatively to his bragging all. I saw him as someone who was a fighter, someone who wanted people to sit up and notice what he felt they were ignoring. Ultimately, many influential people continued to ignore him, including his own family members that he so wanted love and acceptance from. All that distressed him to the very end. So, this tortured soul probably messed up on substances to drown out the pain (past and present trauma) and all the noise (generated by haters), but he was trying hard to fix things in his life---not giving up at all. He wasn't perfect---but who is? I just mourn the loss of a beautiful and talented soul, who was endlessly tormented by horrible people and events (some were in the past, but some were very much in the present). He has now left behind a musical legacy that he really has reason to be proud of. His "Love" album and the unofficially released "Blacklisted" album provide abundant proof that he had the guts and talent to go at it independently. I appreciate the many hauntingly beautiful, catchy, and creative songs (lyrically and musically genius!) he's gifted to us. So contemporary, so "now", and so "Aaron"! He was too good for this world, and he will be much missed.

Hmm 😭

Also I just want to say killer job producing this! I know Aaron helped but wow. It makes me so sad to say it but this next record could have been his comeback. He was hoping for that I think. I will miss him deeply.

I also grew up with Aaron since 1999. I still follow him on fb. So sad that he had a hard life and passed away in lonely 😔 Always miss you Aaron ❤️

My words exactly dear,he made everyone feel special and important 😭❤

He went down hill with the stress of Melanie

He looked really good here.

@@michaelj8533 you think Melanie stressed him out more than he already was when he met her?

@@imjustagirl hey girl nice to see you here! Yeah I agree he did look really good here. He was a different person in these clips. Wish he had remained sober.

@@VeenaMichelle likewise! Hope all is well, good to see your holding up well. I so wish he could have gotten back to this place. This is almost like looking at a whole other person. Just so night and day.

There wasn’t. Police already determined this. No foul play. None. His housekeeper didn’t do it. Why do u feel there was foul play involved? U think this cuz she’s black?

Maybe blame that girl who on his last live stream was egging him on to OD and kill himself. Blame HER

@@JTScott1988 Idk why people suspect that when he clearly either drowned or died while high.

Me too. I cannot count how many times I hear this song in the past few days. It still hurts me now that Aaron was gone 😔❤️

@@minhphucdo8046 I'm so glad you love this song too! 🕊️🙏🏼 It's so depressing knowing he's not here anymore!

It’s been affecting me too . I’m so sad and feel like this man’s story was so incredible . You got to see his growth in music from a child to an adult . You can feel his passion for music . It didn’t have to end like this Aaron you weren’t going to feel how you were feeling forever . Such a permanent decision for a temporary emotion . R.I.P Aaron Carter

@@DaOneandOnly_ I'm so sorry you are hurting. It definitely sucks! Sending prayers your way!

I also been binge listening to Love album songs,truly extraordinary ❤❤ too bad this world didn't acknowledge his gifted talent and instead portrayed him in bad light 😭😭❤

Yes

Thank you Danielle. Aaron was like a brother to me. This was one of our best days together and I wanted to share a memory we both cherished and shared equally. We both respected the heck outta each other’s vision and creativity during our time as collaborators!

@@JonAsher His and your talent definitely was shown in the music video. I’m glad you have these memories with him captured to cherish and be able to look back on. I am so sorry for your loss 😢

Not true

Sooner or later was good too

Sooner or later was just as good

You didn't listen to his LOVE album, did you?

La casa de haron Carter es muy bonita

It's true. Aaron is incredible talented artist. Rip my ultimate childhood crush. 😭
