KATMVNC98: Hi Youngstown, I live like 45 minutes from
Youngstown, OH. I was wondering what you think of famous
people coming from small towns?

small town.
When you have such a big dream, coming from a small place
like that.

SPORTY_007: Hi, my name is Ashley. I just wanna tell you
that ya'll are really cute! And you have super voices! My
question is: How did you come up with your name and what
are your names?
YOUNGSTOWN: Our names our Sammy, Dallas and D.C. and we
basically came up with the name because we wanted a name
that 10 years from now we wouldn't be embarassed to have.
We started thinking about the '80s groups like Boston,
Chicago and Kansas.
ZOOGERINI: How did you guys start your singing careers?
DALLAS: We all grew up singing and met other people who
loved singing. You just get together and start working.
YOUNGSTOWNGIRL: When r u going on tour on your own and not
for Disney? Could you at least come to Sacramento, CA? Cuz
our town is too small and Sacramento, CA, is only an hour
away.
SAMMY: We can't wait to go on our own tour.
D.C.: Sometime into the new year.
DALLAS: Probably February.
DANCERSCS: Hey Youngstown! It was my birthday last monday
and i asked for your CD. I got it and it's great!
SAMMY: Right on. Happy belated birthday!
KRISTEN31882: Youngstown, first off i wanna tell ya'll
that i'm 18 and from Virginia. I totally dig you guys. I
have liked you since June and when I brought your single
to school and all my friends were like who's that? Now
they all listen. I want to know... where did you guys
start? And who's the biggest flirt?
DALLAS: I think we're all pretty much flirts. Our first
show we ever did was here, for the record label.
SAMMY: It was the Monster Musicfest.
BIGGESTFIVEFAN: I love your new song "I'll Be Your
Everything" and I was wondering how long it took you to
write it?
DALLAS: We didn't write it.
KENDRA_321: When some people meet you they are probably
speechless... who is one person that if given the chance
to meet would make you totally speechless?
SAMMY: I don't know.
DALLAS: God.
D.C.: I never actually met her, but i saw her... Jennifer
Love Hewitt.
FREAKMARIE13: Do you like to travel?
SAMMY: Jennifer Lopez.
DALLAS: We could do without the plane. It's fun to travel,
you get to see all different cultures.
DALLAS: We could do without the plane. It's fun to travel.
You get to see all the different cultures.
DANCERSCS: Hi Youngstown! I love you guys! Do you have any
advice for someone who wants to get into the singing
business?
YOUNGSTOWN: Talk to as many people as you can. Sing
whenever you can. Never give up.
DALLASFOREVER: I heard you guys were going to be doing a
concert on Disney Channel. Is this true? And when?
DALLAS: We are going to do the show in November, it will
be aired in February. With a group called Steps.
BIGGESTFIVEFAN: I love you Dallas! I was wondering if you
have a girlfriend?
DALLAS: No, I don't. Would you please be my girlfriend?
DOREMIDGE494: Do u like to talk to so many people at one
time??
YOUNGSTOWN: We love to. We'd talk to everyone if we could.
FREAKMARIE13: What is the craziest thing a fan has done
for you??
DALLAS: In Sweden, there were 20 girls that from the time
we got off the plane to the time we left, they were
outside our hotel.
SAMMY: They were everywhere.
KENDRA_321: How does it feel to know that so many people
admire you?
SAMMY: Really overwhelming.
DALLAS: A couple of times it will get scary when the girls
get into fights.
JEVATRI: DALLAS, why did you dye your hair blonde?
Personally i liked it the other.
DALLAS: Well, because with the way my personality is, the
black just didn't fit. I've always been blonde, i just
tried it black for a few seconds.
STEPHANIE624: Is Youngstown gonna be on today?
YOUNGSTOWN: Yes, we're here!!!
SAMMY: Estamos aqui.
DALLASFOREVER: If you weren't in Youngstown, what would
you be doing?
YOUNGSTOWN: We'd still be sitting back in Youngstown, OH,
in a basement writing songs.
D.C.: I'd be selling washers and dryers.
DALLASFOREVER: How do each of you describe the other group
members?
DALLAS: D.C. is the comedy guy. He makes us laugh. Sammy
is serious and thinks he can play basketball, but he
really can't. All of us are pretty sincere honest guys.
SAMMY: D.C. is the more comical one. Dallas is the intense
one.
D.C.: I agree.
JEVATRI: Who gets the most fan mail?
D.C.: I'm the only one with online service, so I would say
it's me.
NANA1262: Do you guys ever get homesick?
SAMMY: Once in a while, yeah.
ZOOGERATOR: What do you miss about Youngstown?
DALLAS: I get homesick because I only go home once a year.
D.C.: I miss my family.
DALLAS: I miss Kansas City, where i'm from. I miss my mom.
I miss watching my sisters argue over stupid stuff.
HEATHER12584: Hey Youngstown, I love you guys so much and
you are my inspiration. Who is yours? -heather
YOUNGSTOWN: Our inspirations range from a long list:
Michael Jackson, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Boyz II Men, Garth
Brooks. Just people who make a major impact on music.
AJANDNICK: What part of Youngstown are you guys from,
because i live in Clumbina?
YOUNGSTOWN: South side.
LAURA1219: So, do you like being on the road?
DALLAS: We love to travel. We wouldn't be in this type of
work if we didn't like travelling.
SAMAZOO: If you could be another member of the group for
one day who would it be and why?
YOUNGSTOWN: I would be D.C., just to figure out why he
gets amused by the smallest things in the world.
DALLAS: That was me talking.
SAMMY: Definently D.C.
JENLOVSJUSTIN: Hey guys, how does it feel to be famous and
going from virtually unknown to being known by thousands?
Dallas, I'm from Kansas City, and i was just wondering
what part you were from?
DALLAS: I lived in Claycomo and also around Liberty. It
actually didn't happen overnight. It's been 10 years. As
for feeling famous, we get up in the morning like everyone
else does.
KELLY2683: Hey D.C., word got around that you were here
tonight, so I thought I'd pop in and say Hi. I finally got
the CD, it's awesome! Talk to ya later, Kelly!
BRINK1475: I love that song "I'll Be Your Everything".
ILLNEVER: I don't know if my question will get through but
I though I'd let you know that I really can't wait to see
you in concert or opening for someone...LOL
YOUNGSTOWN: We really can't wait to let you see us. We
can't wait for everyone to see us!
NANA1262: This is for you D.C.: Do you ever get bored on
the road?
D.C.: No, because I amuse myself most of them time. I'll
sit there and flip a piece of paper for a while and I'm
happy. But I do bring video games and my computer with me
on the road all the time.
SUGARGLIDER: HEY, YOUNGSTOWN, DO ANY OF YA'LL HAVE
GIRLFRIENDS? I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M CHATTING WITH YA'LL!!!!
DALLAS: No, we don't have girlfriends.
MUSICLUVER_14: Hi Youngstown! Wow, I'm SO excited! It's
hard to breathe. Ummm, my questions are, do any of you
have girlfriends (because you're all gorgeous!) And how
old are each of you?
DALLAS: I'm 24.
SAMMY: I'm 22
D.C.: I'm 23, and thank you for the compliment.
SWEET_STUFF99: What do you guys like to do for fun?
DALLAS: I like to go to the movies, play video games,
sleep. We like to date when we get the chance.
ZOOGERATOR: Do you sing in the shower?
SAMMY: Yes, we do!
ZOOGERATOR: What are your favorite foods?
D.C.: Because the acoustics are better in the shower.
DALLAS: I like all Italian food.
D.C.: I like my mother's city chicken and twice-baked
potatoes.
SAMMY: I like food, period.
BBALLGRRL: Do you guys feel obligated to be role models
now that you have hit "stardom"?
YOUNGSTOWN: I don't think we feel obligated. We just try
to be the best people we can be. For the most part, we're
just ourselves.
DALLASFOREVER: I have a question for Youngstown. First of
all, you guys are amazing, I love you all. Dallas, I love
you. With all the other boybands currently out there, how
do you feel you are different from Backstreet, 'Nsync or
98 Degrees?
DALLAS: That's not really our position to say whether or
not we're different. We just leave it up for our fans to
decide.
MEGATIGHT: Who were your inspirations growing up, and why?
YOUNGSTOWN: Elvis Presly.
DALLAS: Michael Jackson. Journey.
D.C.: Yeah, Michael Jackson.
DALLAS: Ozzy Osbourne, AC/DC
KELLY_TEE: Hey YOUNGSTOWN, what does "I'm living my life
through your eyes" mean?
YOUNGSTOWN: The song is actually about a person living for
the person they're in love with. I'm living for what you
want me to do. I'm a part of you, you're a part of me.
KALE12: Do you guys play pranks on each other?
DALLAS: All the time. D.C. gives it a lot.
D.C.: When he's in the shower, I'll set up a rig outside
the bathroom door.
PEOPLEPERSON: How do you guys feel about doing the hit
song for "Inspector Gadget" (sorry if I spelt that wrong)?
ZOOGERME4U: Did you ever think you'd be on Disney before
the movie??
YOUNGSTOWN: We feel like it was a blessing. The
oppportunity for us to be seen by everyone and to be
attached to a cartoon we saw growing up. When people
search for record deals, the last company they think
they'll be on is a Disney label.
ZOOGERATOR: How did Disney find you?
YOUNGSTOWN: We actually got a call from someone saying
they had a record deal for us. We didn't believe them, so
we said I quit the group.
KEN0016: Do people, friends, and family treat you the same
after you got famous?
YOUNGSTOWN: But it turned out to be the real deal.
D.C.: It's kinda different. Our parents are overly proud.
It's cool.
DALLAS: I have nine days off for Christmas, but I'm going
to my mom's work to sign autographs and my sister's
school.
D.C.: Our friends are pretty much the same now. We did get
a few people who came out of the woodwork.
SAMMIE1997: Why do you guys have earrings?
D.C.: Where have you been? It's just like a necklace. It's
the 90's, and jewelry is jewelry.
ZOOGERATOR: Speaking of jewelry...
DALLAS: We try to wear bracelets when people give them to
us.
ZOOGERATOR: Wow. That's cool.
STARZ100: What if someone gets a sore throat?
D.C.: If it's major, we need to cancel.
DALLAS: For the most part, you can do the best you can.
The show must go on.
KOMODO24: Did you have fun doing your music video?
YOUNGSTOWN: Oh, yeah.
ZOOGERATOR: Where did you guys film it?
DALLAS: Only I had food poisioning.
YOUNGSTOWN: On a soundstage in California.
BUTTRFLYPRNCSS: Will ya'll be my everything?
YOUNGSTOWN: Awwww. Yes, we will.
D.C.: And more.
SAMMYSRICAN: Sammy, do u remember me? I met u at the
Broadway Mall in Hicksville Long Island... I'm the Puerto
Rican who can't speak Spanish :)~
SAMMY: Oh, yeah. I remember you.
YOUNGSTOWN: It was the first time he couldn't say boriqua!
ZOOGERATOR: Boriqua?
YOUNGSTOWN: It's a slang way to say Puerto Rican.
ZOOGERATOR: Oh, stellar!
ANGEL_BABY98: What do each of you look for in a girl?
DALLAS: Honesty, sincerity. A good cook and loyalty.
D.C.: Sense of humor.
SAMMY: Romantic, outgoing, sense of humor, spirituality.
ZBLULIME: Well, since you are role models to us, what
would you say if you met any of us?
YOUNGSTOWN: Hello, what are you doing? What's up?
Boriqua!! We'd just talk to you. It just depends on what
you would ask us.
BALLERINI16: Awwwww... well I'm not a good cook... but my
grandma is... she just made homemade cookies... u guys
could come over and have some. *wink wink*
DALLAS: I love cookies, do I'd love to come over! Where do
you live?
GLOVERZOOG: Do you guys ever get into fights over silly
things?
D.C.: Those are the only fights we get in.
DALLAS: We got into a small bicker onstage the other day,
but it was so small, I forgot what it was about.
ANGELSWEETIE7: Hey guys, any advice, I just got dumped?
YOUNGSTOWN: Ouch. You realize that people who leave you
were never meant to be around in the first place. There's
other fish in the sea. When one bad thing happens to you,
two good things happen. That's how I look at it.
Personally, even when I'm mad I think, tomorrow I'll be
happy.
KELLIANN1: What I've always wanted to know is, what do you
do if you get hiccups on stage?
YOUNGSTOWN: I think all bodily functions stop when you're
on stage.
D.C.: I've had to burp on stage before. I'm trying to sing
at the same time.
DALLAS: The new one?
CTA4000: Who came up with the party idea for the new music
video?
DALLAS: Steve Willis, the director of the video.
JEWELS1810: WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE PLACE TO PERFORM
AND WHY?
DALLAS: Disneyland, it's because it's really cool, because
fans come back faithfully. Every week, every show, they're
there.
FLIPTURN007: Who was the coolest person you've met?
YOUNGSTOWN: Garth Brooks. And Donny and Marie.
SAMMY: I never got to meet her, but i got to say a couple
of words to Tina Turner. The fans I was talking to were in
awe. She looks outstanding.
LILJUKEBOX: Hi guys!!!!! Any embarassing moments on stage?
Be honest =)
SAMMY: One time in Germany, for the first time my mike
finally fell. The whole mike stand fell, it wasn't that
sturdy. I told our fans it was a part of the routine. I've
tripped going onstage twice.
BALLERINA16: I want to know how u choose your dancers for
your videos.
I know you have auditions, but when???? I want to audition
for one!!!!
YOUNGSTOWN: We've been really good at finding people who
are our friends. We're waiting for auditions for the extra-
special videos. But we're saving the best for last.
SPIRIT124: Hey Youngstown, I like your song "I'll Be Your
Everything".
How many different remixes of the song are there?
D.C.: I don't know. Some radio DJs may have remixed them.
We have a few versions: a capella, instrumental, the album
version and the movie version.
KIMW2000: Hi Youngstown! Now that you are stars do you get
on the internet alot? Kimberly, Jamaica
YOUNGSTOWN: We try to get on any time we can.
D.C.: I didn't get to bring my computer on the last tour.
It's hard overseas because of the voltage. But over here I
get on a lot.
RACHEL667: Sammy, I just want to congradulate you on all
your success.
I knew you were determined to succeed when I saw how proud
you were when we all listened to your demo tape at Rob's
house. Best of luck!!!
SAMMY: Thank you so much. I'm glad you believed in me.
People like you
make me want to pursue my dreams.
ZOOGERIFIC4515: I love all of you guys. I first fell in
love with you
when you performed at Disneyland on the 18th of Sept. I
LOVE YOU MARRY ME!!!
YOUNGSTOWN: Cool.
YTOWN544: What's the best life advice that you can give to
your fans?
ZOOGERATOR: Good question!!!
DALLAS: I would basically say you should never settle for
what life seems to have given you. Shoot for what you
think in your head is possible, because if you think it's
possible, it is.
SAMMY: Listen to your heart, and not what other people
tell you to do.
Just keep your head up, there's a greater power out there.
If you believe in yourself , then great things will
happen.
D.C.: Live life like there's not going to be a tomorrow.
Always tell people you love that you can love them as much
as you can.
ZOOGERATOR: Well, guys thanks so much for joining us in
the Zeetharium... once again, you guys are a BLAST to chat
with! We will keep listening to all the great tunes! Good
