YahooChat: A.J. is here! Let the chat begin!
A.J.: What's up to all our friends and fans in the
chatroom right now with me! Thanks for all of your support and we
appreciate it, I mean it. Please ask me anything you want, and I do mean
anything! And also sorry for being late guys!
BSBgrrl18 asks: How is your US tour going?
A.J.: So far so good. We've been on tour now for
about three weeks. A lot of sold out shows so far. We are in Houston right
now and we have a sold out show here tonight. I think our most prestigious show so far has been Radio City in New York. It has been a phenomenal tour so far. This is our
first arena tour. We've been selling out, and it's been great. Perfect.
Sweet_girl_for_u99 asks: A.J. i love your tattoos. Do they have any
meanings to them?
A.J.: Let's see. Currently I have five of them. They
all have a meaning to me. I'm not quite done with them yet. The one on my
left forearm is a comedy mask which represents comedy and tragedy because I
grew up doing theater which is my first love. Right above that is the
statement "Laugh Now". Right above that on my left shoulder is my name written
in tribal. On my back left shoulder is a dragon, since I was born in the
year of the dragon. On my right shoulder is my nickname written in a
cross. We have a show coming up in LA on the 8th, and I
want to get a panda bear on my right forearm. Reason being is because in my
eyes it combines a non-racist image, black and white together, in a uniform
symbol. That's all I have so far!
FrickLuva asks: Do you believe in love at first sight?
A.J.: Actually I do. I really do. I've met someone
who, it's like, you meet them and you have that connection and that vive.
There is a strong possibility of that. It's all about the chemistry. I
believe.
RokPower asks: What do you order at McDonalds?
A.J.: I order a double quarter pounder with cheese
value meal. Number four usually. With a large coke, no ice, and a large
fries.
HereTitlePlace asks: What's the best thing about being a Backstreet
Boy?
A.J.: I would say the best thing about being a BSB is
the opportunity at hand. The opportunity to travel the world. Meet the
people we've met. Just do the things we've all dreamed of doing since we
were young toddlers. There are so many things that are positive about being
where we are. Some of the down sides are being away from family, not getting
home cooked meals, stuff like that.
Millaco asks: When you first started out did you think you would
become this successful?
A.J.: You are always hopeful. But you never know. There's not much that you really know. It's just something you can hope for and you give it your best shot. You just have a strong belief that if you do what you've been blessed with to do, and if the fans respond well, then yeah, it can blossom into something great. And so far, it's been great!
Two_yummy_girls asks: A.J...are you still close to the friends you
had before you became famous??
A.J.: Some. Not as many as I'd like to be.
Danielle_14_98 asks: What is your favorite song to sing?
A.J.: Ummm, probably, live, "Hey Mr. DJ" and "That's The
Way I Like It". Because they're the most hype songs.
We_LOVE_u_BSB asks: Who would be your first choice to do a duet with?
A.J.: Either Celine Dion or Mariah Carey. My second choice would probably be Aliyah.
Go_Backstreet asks: AJ, When and why did you first start wearing your trademark goggles and glasses?
A.J.: Since 1993. It was just something that I wore in our first video that we ever recorded for "We Got It Going On". Our stylist said pop these sunglasses on. Our management said why don't you keep on wearing them, different styles, etc. It then just became my trademark, and now I don't really go anywhere without them. Sometimes I even sleep in them.
Rosa5_112681 asks: how do feel when u think about girls obsessing
over u?
A.J.: I don't know. It's kind of , it's definitely flattering, but it's a little weird. I don't really understand why yet. I wish for five minutes I could get inside a fan's head to see what causes that hysteria or that obsession, you know?
