Welcome to Yahoo! Chat... in just a few minutes we will be chatting with NICK!
Send in your questions now! We will try to answer as many as we can..... The
Backstreet Boys are in Portland tonight for a concert...they are doing the sound
check right now. Nick will be chatting live from the concert venue. He is the
third BSB to chat this summer....we chatted with A.J. a couple of weeks ago
ChatYahoo_Lisa:
Last night the BSB boys were in Yahoo!'s home town of San Francisco and so we
went with A.J., Kevin and Howie to Phantom of the Opera. A.J. told us in his
last chat that he had never seen it. I hear that everyone had a terrific time!
We also saw their concert in San Francisco ---they ROCKED!
ChatYahoo_Lisa:
Nick is Here!!!!!
ChatYahoo_Lisa:
Welcome Nick!
venyssa999
asks:
Nick, you're great!!! I love you. Do you ever feel like you missed out because
you never played high school sports, attended the prom, or went to graduation
because you were tutored?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy:
Nick:
Of course I do. I think it was a definite sacrifice to make in order to do
this...But at the same time I wouldn't give this up for the world, but again as
I've said there are things I wish I could've done.
samantha_kwok
asks:
What would you do if you only had twenty four hours to live?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy:
I would play some Nintendo! No... I would call anybody everybody I knew...I
would just try to have a whole day with everybody I knew so I could see them one
last time.
ChatYahoo_Lisa:
What would be the song you would want to sing on that day?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy:
I would have to sing, it's a church song I used to sing with my great
grandfather who passed away. It would be Amazing Grace. I used to sing it with
my great grandfather. He used to play the organ in church and I used to sing
when I went over to his house while he played.
hyper_lady
asks: Nick, Why did u cut your hair???????
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy:
Well, you must be talking recently...but I didn't cut my hair, well I did, I had
to trim it down because it was getting way too long.. in the Teen People issue
people were saying how it was way too long and I was getting kind of tired of
that. Plus, summertime came around and it was getting way too hot.
MusicFreak132
asks: Who's Your Fave Spice Girl?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy:
I don't have a favorite Spice Girl, simple as that :) They were cool enough for
what they are, but I never really got into them all that much.
Dava_loraine
asks: What is the worst part being famous?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy:
I'm never really home that much .. I'm always touring and I really don't have a
chance to relax chill and do nothing. Recently I did, but we're always touring..
so really being home and seeing all my family and friends.
N_Tash_C
asks: Where's the best place you've ever traveled since being in the Backstreet
Boys?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy:
I dont know.. Austrlia was really nice. Spain was really nice.. Pretty much just
places that have been on the beach. I like the ocean, so that's probably why I
really like those places so much.
aletha1983
asks: What do you really look for in a girl and be honest does good looks, and a
good body really matter?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy:
I think a girl should, in general what I look for is somebody who can handle the
pressures and things that I do. A lot of the reasons we don't have girlfriends
is because of all the pressures we undertake.. I mean you have to be attracted
to a person, but you can put a not so good looking girl next to a gorgeous girl
and if the not so good looking girl has a better personality, then you'll go
that way. Some people will say "yeah right"
zakotra
asks: what is your favorite animated cartoon show?!
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy:
Just recently I went to the movie Quest for Camelot.
FrickLuva
asks: Who's the most crazy, Brian, AJ or you?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy:
I think AJ is crazy. If you wanna put someone as crazy, it's him.. He's got a
very big outlook on life.. he does anything he wants to do.. he colors his
hair.. he's just a crazy cool type of guy.
Nicklover_NL
asks: What are you wearing at the moment?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy:
I'm wearing a warm up suit and Nikes.
donnakay68
asks: What is it like being the youngest in the group?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy:
I get a lot of slack sometimes.. the guys pick on me alot cause I'm the youngest
but that's the role that younger brothers play you know what I'm saying?
Dora04_98
asks: Hi Nick!! Have you ever gone skinny dipping? And if not will you ever?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy:
Yeeeaaaah I have, but I was by myself.. my parents were gone and I was like
"why not?"
Tori_and_Tara_in_TO

asks: If you could sing a duet with anyone, who would it be?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy:
I would do it with Steve Perry.
dawn_em_
asks: How do you think you have changed since becoming so famous?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy:
I'd like to hope that I haven't changed. If any one tells me that I have, I try
to fix it. I want to stay the same. I don't consider myself any better than
anyone out there and just want to continue doing what I'm doing and enjoying
what I'm doing.
w_harty
asks: If you could have a super power for a day what would it be and why?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy:
I would have to have the ability to clean up the ocean. To help the world in
some way.. if that question was asked to somebody they'd say I'd love to have
super jumping powers, I'd like to give back to the world, and if I can't do that
I'd want to do something else for it.
CrazyChic_7
asks: What is the name of Nick's new pupppy??
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy:
My new puppy.. I actually had two pugs and their names are Mikey and Willie and
got a new one named Houston, because I got her in Houston. I sent her home from
the road, because she was a real small puppy and it wasn't good for her out
there.

my question is : Nick do you believe in love at first sight?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy:

Nicks_girl1817
asks: What is your biggest fear in life?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy:
My biggest fear in life would have to be... well I really can't stand sharks
although I'm fascinated by them. Well not that I can't stand them, but my fear
is being in the water and being attacked by them. But I'd really have to say
flying, I hate flying...if there's an opportunity to take a bus or fly, I'd
rather take a bus. I don't want to step on a plane where you don't have
control...

Hmmmm...I've probably worn out some Journey CDs like crazy.. I played Raised on
Radio forever...Also I played out -- not a lot of people like it, but the Hammer
album .. The Funky Headhunter album.. I played it so much I ruined that
CD...then I bought another one and lost that one...and lost another one, so I've
contributed to the Hammer foundation :-) I used to play it when I played video
games a lot.. but that's me, I'm a weird person ;-)
N_Tash_C
asks: What's it like on the tour bus?

Can be hectic, very claustrophobic, can be fun at times when you can play video
games in the back. That's the best.. I love playing video games.

asks: What video did you have the most fun making?

the band?

Well.. there was one show where I ripped the back of my pants out...and we had
ducked down, done a move or something,
it felt like it ripped, but I was like "maybe not"... but then I felt
this breeze
coming
up from somewhere and I put my hand back there and I could actually touch my
whole butt! That was pretty bad.
BackieJ
asks:
Nick,what kind of pizza is your favorite?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy:
Cheese, lots of cheese, tons of cheese. I'll never forget, we were up in Canada
somewhere and me and Brian were up watching a Dodgers game or something and the
pizza we ordered had cheese and inch thick! It was gooey and cheesy! And then
Piazza hit a homer to win the game -- it was pretty cool. And at that time we
were calling Mike Piazza "pizza face" because of his name.
Angel_heaven20
asks: Describe a typical day.
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy:
There is type A, type B, Type C. Type A would be a normal tour day -- you sleep
from 11 at night, you just did a show, and then you sleep all the way until
noon, 2 or 3. You wake up, pack and get on
the
bus and travel to the venue, then you do it all again. Then there's type B, a
promotional tour which is hell on earth -- well it can be fun too...but you're
traveling all different places and working all hours of
the
day doing photo shoots, television shoots... etc. Then there's type C:The day
off. Which you just gotta love!:)

Yahoo_BackstreetBoy:

You'd think I was a chef --Chef Boyardee!

on this one.
