Carson: Hanson, because Buzzworthy means MTV is predicting that the act will be huge before they're huge. Everybody thought Hanson was just a lame act until the cool music community, MTV included, understood that the Dust Brothers produced the track MMMBop, and presto you've got yourself a cool act and Hanson attracted more people to our Times Square studio than Marilyn Manson and 'N Sync combined. I didn't invite any of them. They are cool guys.

"I hate it when people say Hanson sucks. Hanson does not suck. They proved that at the Grammy's they can rock. Face it people, bow down to Hanson, they rock and will be around alot longer than most.."

"Those kids in Hanson are so talented and cute. Someone should get them a sitcom."

"Yeah. They're cute."

Someone asked them who they wanted to meet, their answer:"That kid! Yeah, that kid from Hanson! We're all about Hanson!"

"Ah, nice bunch of lads, totally different class, you see what I mean? Guys can sing. They can play. Good songs. They can all sing... got personality. They're brilliant, you know. I'd give it to them every time, you know? Well done. Brilliant. They deserve it. As Marilyn Manson, God forget Marilyn Manson, let's go get Hanson, yeah wow! Way to go Marilyn, ah yes, satanic verse."

"I think Hanson's going to be around for a long time. I think that they're three great talented young men and I think that what people need to stop doing to music is looking at the negative in everything. People are trying their best. It's great, and I think they're going to be around for a long time. You know, I like Hanson. When I hear them sing live, they have good voices, they play live instruments. I think they are going to grow as musicians. They are great entertainers and they have a lot of personality. Some clean-cut kids trying to have a good time. They sound like the Jackson 5 to me a little bit. They got a lot of soul to them."

"I was very impressed with Hanson's performance. I thought that little drummer was a kick-ass drummer, and that they sang great. I mean I didn't know, their just little boys you know? I was very impressed. I think they they'll probably be around in 20 years writing good songs and being in a great band."

When asked who he'd want Godzilla to fight if it was made into a sequel - "Hanson, because they have SO much rock power. I mean, their rock power is huge, and they'd kick Godzilla's ass!"

"I loved Hanson. I loved MMMBop. I love it. How could you deny that? It just sounded great! And that kid can really sing!"

"It was fun meeting them and they showed real class and great courage coming out on someone else's stage and playing their hearts out...They played a lot better than we did when we were their age."
