YM Magazine Interview
BEST QUALITY-
Justin: He's all heart. He stands up for us all the time.
Joey: Chris is sugar. He sweats sugar.
MOST ANNOYING TRAIT-
Lance: He doesn't have an attention span at all.
JC: He's too hyper.
COOLEST THING HE DOES-
Joey: If somebody ever says anything bad about us, he'll just go right up and say, 'Hey, I heard this and this, what's the problem?'
JC: He'll confront anybody.
HOW HE'S MOST CHANGED-
Justin: He hasn't changed that much.
Lance: His hairstyle has changed.
JC: When we first met him he was in a club every night. But this past year he has kind of chilled out.
BEST QUALITY-
Lance: His dedication.
Joey: Persistence.
Justin: His Nike watch. Just kidding! His determination
MOST ANNOYING TRAIT-
Joey: He can't follow things. I'll be like,' Look over there-beautiful girl.' And he'll be like, 'What? Where?' He's awful.
Lance: He just comes into things a little late.
Chris: He broke my favorite lava lamp and got goop all over my floor.
COOLEST THING HE DOES-
Justin: Well, one time? At band camp?
Chris: When he comes out and parties with us-because he hardly ever does.
Lance: Once Leonardo DiCaprio said something about us to one of our mutual friends, and JC went up to him and said, 'So I heard you were talking smack about us?' and Leo was just like, 'No, no!' He though we were seriously mad. That was pretty funny.
HOW HE'S CHANGED-
Justin: He's gotten more reserved. He used to be loud and would party.
Joey: And he's opened up more. He never used to say anything, but now if there's something on his mind he'll let us know.
BEST QUALITY-
Chris: He has a huge business mind. He's our sensible one.
MOST ANNOYING TRAIT-
JC: He enjoys seeing people annoyed.
Joey: Like, we're going up in an elevator and Lance gets out on a lower floor. When the elevator is about to close for me, he puts his hand between the doors so that they can't close. So I press the button, and he puts his hand in again-ten times!
COOLEST THING HE DOES-
Justin: He throws a good party, man.
Chris: He took us all to his hometown and showed up Mississippi life at its finest.
HOW HE'S MOST CHANGED-
JC: Lance has changed visually.
Joey: Yeah, man, he had a bulb-head haircut at first!
JC: He's learned a lot about music.
Chris: When we first met him, Lance was confused. Now, he's managing other artists.
BEST QUALITY-
Lance: He's very creative.
Joey: He's goal-oriented.
MOST ANNOYING TRAIT-
Chris: The way he just talks to himself.
Lance: He spaces out. He totally goes off somewhere else.
COOLEST THING HE DOES-
JC: He brought his mom to help the group when we were first starting out. And he's always got something going on, like during a hurricane he had this little hurricane party. He's always fun to hang around with and is down for whatever.
Joey: He's good about keeping secrets, especially about girls.
Chris: Yeah, that's what Joey thinks-but actually, Justin's told me everything about him!
HOW HE'S MOST CHANGED-
Lance: He grew like, two feet.
JC: He's grown up right in front of us. The music that he would have written three years ago isn't half as good lyrically as what he's coming up with now. He's got an adult state of mind now, whereas before it was all basketball and junk food.
Joey: And now it's junk food and basketball! Priorities have really changed!
BEST QUALITY-
Chris: Joey brings charisma to the group.
Justin: And he makes everything we do really fun.
MOST ANNOYING TRAIT-
Chris: When he's trying to be funny and nobody's in the mood, he'll start tapping and force you to laugh.
COOLEST THING HE DOES-
JC: He'll pick up the tab, just to get me to go out. He's like, 'It's on me man! On me!'
Justin: Sometimes I get shy when I talk to a girl, and Joey will help me.
Chris: Yeah, we should call him 'the buffer!
HOW HE'S MOST CHANGED-
JC: He's become even tackier.
Chris: He's a fashion victim. When we first got together, he was just a little tacky. Now it's full-blown Chewbacca.
Lance: And he's become more stubborn about it. If we're like, 'Dude, don't wear that,' he's like, 'Nope! Wearing it!'
