If you missed Backstreet Boy AJ McLean on The Jennifer Hudson Show this week, you can now watch the moment when his daughters, Elliott and Lyric, surprised him mid-interview. “You’re supposed to be in school right now!” AJ joked before breaking down in tears. The two also recorded an intro for his upcoming solo album, My Name Is Alexander James, on which they share what they love most about their dad and how proud they are of him.
