We all fell in love with Zac because of that craziness - his personality and sense of humor was unprecedented. Then Zac calmed down and pretty much stopped talking, so we became concerned. But he returned, with the joke on us. The current Zac looks like he could throw The Rock off the roof. And that humor is back, too, just not so in-your-face. Which is totally cool, because too much of it gets boring. Zachary Hanson is on his way to maturing into a lovely young man (try to pinch his cheeks, though, and you might end up next to The Rock down there.) But what hasn't been mentioned yet is the pure talent that oozes out of his body. This guy seems to be the most dedicated of musicians, in the instrument-playing sort of way. Have you ever tried to play the drums? Have you ever tried to play the drums and sing at the same time? ...in from of ten or 20 thousand people? I think his favorite thing to do on stage is just let loose on a drum solo (the fans enjoy that tons, too!!!) Even listening to him play on an album makes me smile...I can see that energy in my head. I can't say enough about the amount of respect I have for this guy. Try to remember what you were doing when your six years old? Zachary has a voice that is both smooth and jagged at the same time, somewhat like Tay's, but he captures the sense of reality even more. You believe every lyric he speaks - be it about melancholy ("Lucy," "Wish That I was There") or up-beat ("Man From Milwaukee," "What X-Mas Means to Me".) Oh and yes, we can never forget the lips. I just wanna position myself on 'em and never get off, haha Or the eyes that melt into you like milk chocolate. Or the long, blond hair. Not to mention a really great nose (come on, girls, I know I'm not the only one who thinks so!) Lately Zac's become 'the quiet one' (is it because he's 14??) and every time you see him you just hope he'll say something. Still, he speaks loud without opening his mouth and if you were to listen closely you'd hear him laughing at this talk of his looks.
