the guys on...

I got this article from the July 2000 issue of YM magazine. I thought it was pretty cool so I put it up for y'all to see.

Chris
best quality

Justin: "He's all heart. He stands up for as 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."



Lance
best quality

Chris:" Lance 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 door 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 as all to his hometown and showed us Mississippi life at its finest."

how he's most changed

JC:"Lance has changed visually."
Joey:"Yeah, man, he had a bulb-head hair cut when we first started!"
JC:"And he's learned a lot about music."
Chris:"When we first met him, Lance was confused. Now, he's managing other artists."



JC
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 thought we were seriously mad. That was pretty funny."

how he's most changed

Justin:"I knew JC from Mickey Mouse Club, and he's gotten more reserved since then.
He used to be loud and would party."
Joey:"He's opened up more. He used to never say anything, but now if there's something
on his mind he'll say it."



Justin
best quality

Lance:"He's very creative."
Joey:"And he's goal oriented."

most annoying trait


Chris:"The way he talks to himself."
Lance:"He spaces out. He totally goes off somewhere else."

coolest thing he does

JC:"He brought his mom in to help is when we were first starting out. And he's always got something going on, like during a hurricane he has a 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 bastketball and junk food."
Joey:"And now it's junk food and basketball! Priorities have changed!"



Joey
beat quality

Chris:"Joey brings charisma to the group."
Justin:"He makes everything fun."

most annoying trait

Chris:"When he's trying to be funny and nobody's in the mood, he'll start tapping you 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 even tackier."
Chris:"He's a fashion victim. When we first got together, he'd wear something a little tacky.
Now, it's full blown Chewbacca."
Lance:"And he's become more stubborn about it. If were like, 'Dude, don't wear that,' he's like, 'Nope! Wearing it!'"
