From Janine: Who was the last person you kissed? Sparx: My Mum, yesterday. We don't get to see our mums much these days but I saw her yesterday. From Angela: How long have you been a group? Justin: As Triple 8, about a year and a bit but me and Sparx started a few years ago. From Ari169: Have you met any cool celebs yet? David: We've met Pink, which was the biggest one for me. Also, bands like Westlife, Liberty X. Sparx: Westlife gave us tips on how to play basketball! They were very good. From Kim: how did you get to know each other? Josh: We met previously and went through a producer, then we wanted to make it a 5 piece. It all came together in the end, it just clicked... From Lammy: who is the baby of the group? Everyone: Jamie. Jamie: I'm 17! I'm not really the baby of the group though. Justin: He's very sensible for his age. Sparx: I'm the oldest - I'm 23 - not exactly gramps, but compared to Jamie! Jamie: Josh is the most organised of the group - Justin's probably financially the best ... From Rachel: when is your album out and what is it like? Sparx: Hopefully before the end of the year, it's all ready to go. There'll be something for everyone on there. We're really happy about how it's come out. Josh: We wanted a different sound, there's a bit of everything on there. From big_fan_please_talky: Who has the nicer bum, kylie or J-L0? Sparx: I was asked this on Saturday - me and David said Kylie! Josh: Definitely Kylie... Justin: J-Lo. From Triple8sBabe: Are you ok with being called a boyband? David: Yes we are, we are a boy band. Justin: A lot of people have the perception that it's not a good thing, but we 100% enjoy it so there's nothing wrong with being a boy band. From Martin_p: what kind of music do you guys listen to yourself? Sparx: The one thing that brought us together is that we all shared the same taste in music. Me and David like the old soul and Motown. Jamie: Usher, Boyz II Men. Justin: Hip hop, a mixture. Sparx: If you saw our music collection, you'd raise a few eyebrows! David: I did have the Hanson album once! Did i want to admit that?? From Jessica: If you were trapped on a desert island who would you bring with you? Justin: Lopez maybe, and her bottom! David: Your Mum, because I can't wash, clean or iron so I'd take her along. If not her, Pink. Sparx: Probably Stevie Wonder so we could sing all day. Jamie: Angelina Jolie ... or Patrick Viera ... From Annie_m: Hiya boys, so are you all single?? All: Hello Annie. Yes we are. Easy answer - come and get us! From Amy: why did you call your band 'Triple 8'? Jamie: We were in an airport and on a big billboard was "888" so we thought it looked good and it's a Chinese lucky symbol, so we thought, why not? From Knockout03: Who are all your idols? Josh: Michael Jackson. I really like Usher, Justin Timberlake, good performers. David: Stevie Wonder or Marvin Gaye. Jamie: N*Sync Sparx: Stevie Wonder or Prince, grew up with that music. From Steve: Who is got the worst habits? Triple 8: David! David: My mum's always looked after me! I'm quite messy and a bit dizzy sometimes. These four keep me in check! Josh: Don't step into his room, you might not get out! From Jessica: Are you thinking of going on tour later into the year? Jamie: We'd love to! It's a massive group ambition, it'd be amazing to do the arenas and stuff. David: We don't want to get too ahead of ourselves, we want to make it in England first, then Europe. From Laura: Do you ever disagree on things? Sparx: We're all big romantics! Josh: We live in a house together so there's always silly little arguments and jokes. From Triple8sBabe: How do you relax and spend your spare time now? You probably don't have much... Jamie: We go and see our families... David: Play football. Justin: I have a personal favourite, which is sleeping... David: Mine's eating! From Hannah: what old jobs did you have? Sparx: I worked in a pub, same as David. Before that I worked in a pizza place. Jamie: I was at school before! Justin: I worked for the postal service, which was alright. I wasn't a postman. Josh: I worked in a delivery van, lugging boxes around, then office work, which was really good. CBBC Host: That is all we have time for. Here's the band with their final word... Sparx: Thanks for your questions and continuing support. David: Thanks for the support, keep going. Josh: We're glad that you're all supporting us and hopefully it'll carry on.
