@Yvette Winkler this is a late comment but Nick Carter was in the Backstreet Boys they started in '93. However autotune came out '96. So AP Wong's statement is correct.
My wife and son would recognise his voice in an instant. His is their favourite BSB. We’ve been to their DNA tour in Sydney this year (on my son’s birthday) and my son and wife had a blast!
Real Backstreet Boys Fans knew when he start singing "Open arms". Back to the 90s Nick sang this song and it was a big thing for us fans. We remember!!
I am pretty sure that Robin and Nicole have to pretend sometimes. It’s cool that the wife of a boybander gets it correct. I’m happy Crocodile is the one participant I had 0 doubts about since the first season. Disappointed I doubted my other boybander but I never heard his voice prominent like Nick Carter
Ohhh somuch nostalgia 🥰🥰I grew up on backstreet boys!! Such a great childhood!! Nick was my favourite ❤❤❤❤❤❤ such a great singer!!🥰🥰🥰we love you Nick!!!😍😍😍
I remember Aaron Carter's Cribs episode, where he shared the family's record collection and mentioned Journey as his favorite group. Nick probably chose the song to reflect his childhood before the family was ripped apart and the bond with his younger brother.
I am a fan, but didn't recognize the voice! He is a great singer! I wonder if the allegations are true or not. I liked the boy bands until they were ruined by LP! Masked Singer is a good chance for all the celebs on it to be themselves, or explore a new side they didn't know they have! BUT the masks can make it hard to recognize the real singers.
I don't believe for a second all these 'reality' shows aren't scripted from beginning to end and when they are putting forward guesses like Howie or AJ that's just to make the viewers who know yell at their screens :'D
I am reading the comments and don't understand why people think he's old. He started singing with the Back Street Boys when he was 12. He's only 42 in this video. Unfortunately, some singers lose their voices because they strain them too much, but 40-something isn't old.
He is the perfect example of how you can turn your life around, be happy, in the present and just a great father and husband! He could have gone the other way considering his parents, siblings and fame, but he didn't. Good for you Nick!! 💝💞
😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤Nick has the kind of voice that can pierce the coldest heart. He's soft , yet powerful!! This song showcases his range and beauty. Gosh. He makes me cry sometimes.
As weird as it is the brilliance of this show is allowing established artists to show what they’re capable of purely by voice instead of image. I was never a fan of this era but no doubt this man can sing and connect
Absolutely, without a doubt… the BEST ever! Nick has talent that is out of this world! I love his voice, but I had NO idea he could effortlessly sing so many different genres! Aerosmith and Journey had me crying… he’s unbelievable!
News flash it's 1genre Rock and Roll . Each band Journey, Aerosmith Bon Jovi are considered Rock bands .. genres are Rap, Country Rock etc so unless he sang songs other than from Rock bands he only sang 1genre. Just different bands
Yes he can singing many genre and he sang britney song in masked singer that changed crocodile image turn be sexy. im shock in a rare vidio nick sang opera in very high notes for fun thats annoyed another bsb members cause he out of line. he can eat pop,rock, r&b, EDM in the bsb albums as main singer. In vancouver nick sang rap hip hop
Maybe but for me It's Brian Litrrel of Bsb ,Shane Filan WL and ofcourse Gary BarlowTt...those lead vocalist are the most versatile on their respective bands...
@@boy10413 Westlife, Backstreet Boys, Blue, Take That and Boyzone are the boybands I like the most. Who's voice you like the most is subjective. With Westlife and Backstreet Boys I can't choose one over the other band member. When it comes to an objective opinion about vocal range, pitch and versatility....It's fair to say Mark Feehily and Nick Carter are the best of their bands.
Me to nick has always been my fav!!!!1 I always watch his stuff !! I just wish him n Aaron would have made up I really feel like deep down that could have saved Aaron he felt unloved and alone so he turned to drugs to fill a void !I hope they all become strong ! I wish I could hug you Nick xoxoxo
I met Nick Carter twice at my BFF's tattoo shop in Tampa Florida. Before I met him I didn't even listen to the Backstreet Boys, but since I have fallen in love with their music. Great to see this. - From Tampa Florida...
Great performance, Nick! I bet Steve Perry and Jonathan Cain are really proud of that performance. There is an interesting backstory to "Open Arms". When Jonathan Cain first joined Journey in 1981, Steve Perry met with Jonathan and said, "I want to do a ballad." In response, Jonathan said to Steve, "Journey does ballads?" Then Jonathan started playing a song that he originally wrote for John Waite, the former lead singer of The Babys, but John Waite outright rejected the song, saying that it was "sentimental rubbish". So Jonathan played the song for Steve Perry, who said, "Too bad for John, but good for us (Journey)." So Jonathan and Steve went on to record "Open Arms" with a little reluctance from Journey guitarist Neal Schon for the album "Escape". "Open Arms" went on to become a #2 single on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1982.
He probably thought it would’ve been a fun experience and it looks like he had just that. Especially him saying it took him back to the beginning as if it gave him a rush.
Not really. Backstreet Boys still tour regularly. His case isn't like some of the people that have been on here. Backstreet boys can still sell out shows. They're legends!
„Open arms“ was my wedding dance so this song is always very special to me. I love it sung by Journey, but Nick has just blown me away… so much passion he‘s put into it… I could listen to him like forever 🥰.
Since "Quit Playing Games", BSB has been a big part of my life. Hearing him singing again brings goosebumps to me. Thanks for giving us another chance to hear that golden, yet versatile voice, Nick Carter. Always a Fan here.
Watching Nick Carter pop up after he takes his mask off you can just feel how tiny those judges are compared to him in terms of Showbiz. He’s the king and they are little pawns 😎
I'm an fan of the Backstreet Boys. Nick Carter if you see this I'd like send my condolences to you 💐 Rest in power Leslie & Aaron I can imagine how painful it is. Nick I'll keep you in my prayers🙏 stay strong & positive don't give up on music you inspired me
I heard a few words that sounded like Nick, but had NO idea! I was just mesmerized by this guy singing so many different genres, with the best voice ever!
That was amazing! I love Nick and his voice and how he sang Open Arms. Which is my favorite Journey song that I got hooked to from Steve Perry. My dad got me hooked on Journey. I love Steve Perry as well. I’m 42. ❤
You don’t even need to know BSB to know it is Nick Carter. He is already popular in his own right! With BSB’s recent album being number 1, I hear their newer music in places vs their older stuff more since 2019! Hell yeah!
I have a video of him on VHS when he was performing this song on one of their tours in Europe in the 90's. Instantly became a fan of his version of this song.
I don’t mean to be this guy, but if you don’t know the voice of a man who’s rocked stages of the entire world for over 20+ years then your nuts even if you ain’t a BSB FAN everyone knows NICK CARTER
Nick omg thank you for singing that song from the band of journey.means the world to alot of us out here .jus saw it want to say thanks so Kool of you to do the mask of the crock a dile.really Kool.
of course Nick can sing,he came from a time with no auto tune.
Autotune has been around for ages.

@@yvettewinkler5152 it wasn't used that often.
Not until the mid 2000's
@@ChaseLoweMusicbut they are always sings Acapella.
I need you to say it again yesss I 100% agree
To sing like this after your voice being in use for almost 30 years is an achievement.
He has this unmistakable little squeak going into and coming out of big notes. Any BSB fan knew it was him all along. He's always been awesome.
Every BSB Fan recognize this voice from the first notes
My wife and son would recognise his voice in an instant. His is their favourite BSB. We’ve been to their DNA tour in Sydney this year (on my son’s birthday) and my son and wife had a blast!
Yeah right 😂
I agree with you 100%
Yup.

yup...you can totally tell it's him from the voice lol
Remember it like yesterday ❤
I know right away for this song
My first thought when he started singing was “How does no one know who this is??!!”
I cant believe how he has held onto such a youthful voice for so long! He was always my favorite 🥰
How is that voice not easily recognizable? Ever heard "I Need You Tonight"? He's always been an amazing vocalist.
That was always a favorite song of mine! It’s still in my playlist to this day.
Right!!
Yes very recongnizable, but I have all the BSB albums 😅 ( no I am not ashamed at all).
@@yuliavisser5435 backstreet boys
Pretty obvious it is ,
Nick is a full package. He has beautiful face , amazing voice and tender heart. I’m your 4ever fan Nick .
Exactly what he is❤
💯✨️✨️✨️✨️💕💕💕
And he's from the era of no auto tune ,, he's a great vocalist 👌🙏
This is the weirdest show, but Nick can sing and if you're a BB fan...you know instantly.
Maybe jenny(wife of donny nkotb, correct if im wrong) is fan cause she knew it is nick
BSB fan
I was about to say. How did they not know???❤
@@Munecamorena93 his voice is extremely recognizable!

He still sounds like a teenage dream ❤️
He is probably one of the biggest, most talented singers they ever had on there. Nick's voice is on a whole different level for sure!
Brian howie ajay Kevin are all worldclass.Robbie Williams Blue east 17.
I differ that. Nick Lachey is better ❤
Taylor dayne blows him away
*Amber Riley enters the chat*
That is one of the most recognisable voices in American pop - have no idea how most of them did not know
Of course they knew. This entire show is scripted within an inch of its life
they are paid actors doing their scripts
I felt the same way
💯

That was seriously good and I don’t even like boy bands , but he deserves all the respect ! Well done , well done indeed !
How do people in the industry not recognize his voice
I imagined him featuring Steve Perry on this song
As soon as he started singing I knew it was him! His voice is iconic 90’s/00’s
Now they like kpop askwhole
Lip sync was a thing as well so many 80s and 90s singers I can make a list sing horrid live.

Nick has gave his whole life to his fans. bsb music is timeless
As a 15 year long fan, I knew it was Nick Carter from his first performance!! I love him and his heart!!

You can hear it from the first note that it's nick, my boy is apparently way more underrated than I thought and also extremely robbed from his title

Son good. Singer i love your musique 🎵

That's why i love Nick Carter ever since 🥰🥰
I can't believe his range is that high! That was amazing!
Had no idea he could sing soooooo strong! He normally the softer voice in Backstreet Boys!
You've not listened to their Never Gone album (2005)
Nicks smashed some songs. He doesn't always sing soft. When Playing guitar you'll hear him belt.
If you listen to "show me the meaning of being lonely", he shows a lot of strength in his voice. Love that song!
@@wickedwings7611i bought that cd Millennium years ago! I think that was that first one I bought of theirs.

He always sings high notes and key changed parts in BSB albums.
He still is! He’s alive!! ❤
I am in love with Nick Carter 💓 😍

Damn Nick can sang !!!!
He sure can. If you loved this, listen to “I need you tonight” by the BSB. He sang solo on that one. 😊

What a chilling beautiful song that should be in remembrance of his baby brother Aaron God bless brother amen love your voice wow just wow
Whoa! I had no idea that he could sing like that. We’ve been missing out.
Non BSB fans have been missing out. Us BSB fans have enjoyed his voice for 3 decades.
I love the audience's reaction. haha.
I love this guy and his talent
This is totally Nick Carter how could they now guess it
He have unique voice, same as all members of BSB.
