How did you lot get together?
"Marc & Ben both moved to Orlando & were trying to get into music when Patrick & I met them. We met J through Ben's vocal coach & started singing & playing together. A year later, we met Lou Pearlman & he signed us up."
How do you differ from bands like BSB & *NSYNC?
"Well, he didn't put us together. And we play live instruments in our show. We're more of a pop/rock band - but we do dance during the last couple of songs in our show."
"Yes, we went on the German leg of Westlife's tour earlier this year. They've been around for a while, are very successful but still have fun & enjoy what they do. And we've played volleyball with Britney!"
Is it true Marc's dating Britney?
"Aaah, those rumours. We were at a friend's house in Orlando playing volleyball & she was there. Who knows what Marc gets up to!"
So, are you all dating at the mo?
"We date when we can, but there isn't much time. We love girls with English accents though."
Describe the others in the band.
"Marc is a flirt, Patrick is sensible, J is professional, Ben is goofy & I'm blue - look at my barnet!"
Dare to be different
Michael: "We're different to other boy bands because we're not manufactured. We've had to work hard for everything we've achieved."
Hit The Road
Patrick: "Touring is fun, even though you don't get a lot of sleep! Our tour with Westlife was great - it was the first time we played in arenas and Westlife are really cool guys."
Be fan-tastic!
Ben: "Having fans blows your mind! I love taking time to talk to our fans, and suprising people. If we get a day off, we'll go and play at a fans party."
Think big!
Marc: "We don't just wanna be famous in the US - we wanna be famous all over the world. We're going for world domination!"
Stay down-to-earth
J: "Making money is great, but if you're not happy, it won't help. As long as we're happy and performing, and people want to see us, that's all we need."
