FAVE POP GROUP, ALBUM, SONG......TAKE 5 !!!
( LIME Magazine - Feb 1999 )

Talk about beginner's luck! Newcomer to the scene and already, they're emerged the big winners in our poll. How do the Florida popstars feel about their win? We ask them!

Lime: Good job, guys! Take 5 topped our Lime Poll in the Fave Pop Group, Fav Album, and Fav Song categories!
Ryan: (Excitedly) Fave group and Fave album and Fave Song? Really? Wow! Great! That's really cool! None of it could have been possible without our fans' support. Thank you, we had such a great time in S'pore!

You beat established acts like last year winners Backstreet Boys, Boyzone and 911...
Ryan: We get lot of comparisons with these groups and it's a big honor' cos they're very established bands. BSB are like older brothers to us. They paved the way and they're very successful all over the world! To be able to reach their status in Asia, boy. it'll be amazing!

What're your plans for 1999?
Tilky: We just want to work as hard as we can, focus on our music and break into the States.

Lime has recently hung out with The Moffatts, B*Witched and Gil. Who have Take 5 hung out with?
Ryan: We met The Moffatts, did some show with Boyzone, BSB and 'N SYNC. ( Mysteriously) We were going to do a show with Robbie Williams but well, something happened. We were supposed to get together with All Saints because we have some mutual friends but we had to postpone that till next month!

Have any of you changed since become popstars?
Tilky: We've all learnt a lot more from travelling to different countries, like, about their currencies, culture, and food. I picked up bits of their language, too. (Cheekily) I can say "wo ai ni"! ["I love you" in Mandarin].

Stevie, you turned 16 last month. How did you celebrate?
Stevie: I just hung out with my friends and family. Tilky and Ryan brought me to a buncha clubs!

Clay, have you grown taller?
Clay: Yeah, a lot taller. At least 5 centimeters!

TJ, is your voice deeper?
TJ: Yeah, quite a lot deeper!

Anyone found a girlfriend yet?
Tilky: No, We're too busy!
Clay: I'm still pretty young to have a girlfriend. I like talking to our female fans, though!
Stevie: But we're definitely looking for girlfriends. Except Clay, I guess!
