He ususally say are you ready for Dream Street, these are five guys from New York...well all you could hear was ehh blds fdjsa (meaning jibberish) So Chris kinda turns to the side and says are you guys ready..five guys from New York..Dream Street.

Jesse: Shooting our music video was great too
Chris: (laughs) Its my laser light.
For those of you who are confused right now let me explain. Since the interview started Chris was shining the laser light into the camera lens. Suzy thought it was the reflection from my ring, so she get elbowing me to stop moving my hands.
Chris: Yeah I have been shining right here (shines the lasers on the video camera lens) I have been doing this the whole time. She kept saying stop it (talking about Suzy saying it to Kris)
So I heard that you guys might be doing something with Play?

Do you guys get to spend time with your tourmates Lindsay and Aaron and what do you guys do?
Jesse: We usually play basketball because Aaron has a basketball hoop backstage. There are cool electric scooters back there too.
Matt: Lindsay has a really good drummer.
How long does it take you to get a dance down? Your fans really love your dancing abilities.
Jesse: It depends on how hard we work.
Frankie: Also on the song.
Greg: Probably a month..
Chris: To perfect it
Oh yeah you are the good dancer huh?
Frankie: Yeah the rest of us our bad
No you guys are good too! (OK before I continue with the interview...I know I know..I sounded rude. Honestly I didn't mean it like that..I only meant that Chris was the one that was really really into dancing. ALL the guys dance good..and they proved that in their show...so yeah..sorry guys I didn't mean to sound rude)
So what advice does Dream Street have for fans that want to break into a singing or actor?
Chirs: Never give up
Frankie: Never give up and stick with it. Get involved..do a play or something.. get yourself out there.
Now since all you guys have been in show business since you were young, who has inspired you to do this?
Jesse: My parents were a big inspiration when I was younger.
Greg: Elvis Presley. I used to watch him on T.V. I always thought it was cool how he has all those girls screaming for him and that fame.
Frankie: There was this old group called Earth, Wind and Fire I always thought they were great. Also these guys have been a great inspiration to me.
Matt: For me it was sublime, they are really great.
Describe a regular day for you guys, from when you wake up to when you go to bed?
Greg: You wake up really early and do your hair, then you get on the bus and drive for 6 or 14 hours..or whatever to the arena.
Frankie: We usually do a signing before the show
