Part 2 of EA interview

Question: Does Justin have a girlfriend?

Justin: No, Justin does not have a girlfriend. I am, you know, I'm datin' around right now and I'm doin' my own thing. But my schedule's really busy so it's tough to focus my attention on all the attention a female would need.

Question: Do you ever go online?

Justin: Uh, yeah. From time to time. I mean I don't... I'm catching onto the twentieth century and I'm gonna be getting an AOL account soon. But you know, I go on from time to time.

Question: Would you ever consider growing your hair long again?

Justin: Um, yeah, I've thought about it. I've thought about it. The only thing that's held me back is the fact that we dance so much on stage and that it would get in my way. I'd have to wear it like in a ponytail all the time on stage and I don't know how I feel about that. But I did grow it out before when I was like fourteen. I grew it down to my neck and it's um, it's a sight.

Question: How did you celebrate your recent birthday?

Justin: Well my birthday's January 31st so I haven't done anything yet. I think we're gonna be in the U.K. for my birthday, but I don't have anything special planned. You know, I imagine I'll be working 'cause that's what we do. So, no, I don't have anything special planned.

EA: Okay, we'll send you some ice cream.

Justin: All right! We'll do that. Thanks.

Question: Do you have any special plans for Valentine's Day?

Justin: Not yet. Um, I don't have a significant someone to plan for Valentine's Day so I'll probably buy my mom some stuff for Valentine's Day. She'll be my Valentine.

EA: Ah, so chocolates and flowers?

Justin: Yeah, well, you know, I'll come up with something. I usually do different kinds of things. So, I don't know, who knows what I'll come up with.

EA: What would you say is the best gift you've given your mom for Valentine's Day?

Justin: I think she was really happy one time I got her a day at the spa. She was pretty happy with that one. She ate that one up.

EA: What is your best memory of a romantic Valentine's Day?

Justin: Well, one Valentine's Day I was dating this girl and we'd been together for about nine months, and what I did was I cooked dinner. I made fetuccini alfredo and I made these like oreo cookie brownies and I told her, she was like, well what are we gonna do for Valentine's Day and she didn't really think it was a big deal. So what happened was I told her, I'll just come over to your house and we'll just watch a movie or something. And she's like, all right, well just come over. She goes, you know, I'm gonna get cleaned up before you come over. I said okay, so just call me when you get cleaned up. But you know, she actually lived with her grandmother and I told her grandmother to call me when she actually you know started to get into the shower and I was gonna rush over 'cause she lived like fifteen minutes from me. Are you following me?

EA: Yeah.

Justin: All right. So, I rushed, I cooked the food up, you know, I prepared the food with a little help from chef mom and took it over there and laid it out on the floor on a blanket and stuff and I had the candles going and everything and I was mister Don Juan for that episode of Valentine's Day and I scored big points with her. So she was happy about that. She came walking out and she was dressed and her hair was wet and she was, I guess, fixin' to call me and tell me that she was cleaned up and she walked out in the den and saw me sittin' on the floor.

EA: Oh, that is so sweet. I can see that. That sounds like a movie.

Justin: I'm such a hopeless romantic.

Question: What would be your most romantic song? What would you play for your girlfriend?

Justin: Um, well, I don't know. I've never been too big on stuff like that. Like, we should have a song or something silly like that. If I was in love with somebody and wanted to play them a song that I thought... I'd probably write 'em a song, but if I wanted to play 'em a song that's already been written, you know, I could think of a million Stevie Wonder songs. There's this one song on Brian McKnight's first album called "Never Felt This Way" and it just, I don't know, it's the most direct way to say how you've never felt this way about someone before.

EA: And he does have a beautiful voice.

Justin: Oh yeah. And can serenade.

EA: Well, at the Billboard Awards on the red carpet, right after I talked to you guys, he came by and then he came back stage later and did a little a cappella for me and it's just amazing.

Justin: Yeah, he's got a beautiful, he's got a beautiful tone.

EA: Yeah, and perfect pitch.

Justin: Yeah, well we were hanging... I hung out with him some when we were doing the AMAs, so that was fun.

EA: Yeah, and a nice guy too. You know, all around package.

Justin: Yeah, he's very nice. Very nice. He's from... he actually went to school, high school in Orlando.

Question: Does anyone in the group have romances on tour?

Justin: It's tough for us, really. You know, like I said, we're really busy. So, I mean, from time to time we get to go out and date, but it's hard to make anything serious, because you can't get to know someone because you're so busy. But, you know, when you meet someone you can usually tell the vibe from that person. Like you know if things might be able to work or if they wouldn't. So from time to time we get to do the romance thing.

EA: Right. So it sounds like you believe in love at first sight.

Justin: Yeah, definitely. I mean, I believe in chemistry and I believe in, you know, that it's certain feelings that you immediately develop when you meet someone that you think you can make, you know, a companion.

EA: Yeah, you just know. You know.

Justin: Yeah, exactly. Like, you can't explain it any way except that when you know, you just know.

EA: Yeah, that's- when I met my husband-

Justin: You just knew.

EA: I just knew.

Justin: Exactly. Exactly.

EA: And people said, how did you know to say yes when he asked you. And I said, are you kidding, I was waiting for him to ask me.

Justin: You just knew.

EA: Yeah.

Justin: You just knew. And that's a beautiful thing. So congratulations.

EA: Well that's great that you know this young. I mean I hoped that was the case when I was young and that's what I believed from literature and I was right. But you know there were some years when I wondered, you know.

Justin: Right, right. Well everybody goes through that I think.

EA: Yeah, yeah. So, can I get you to say, just like a radio station... This is Justin Timberlake and you found Entertainment Asylum Music. Because we're the music site on AOL, as you know.

Justin: Hey, this is Justin Timberlake from 'N SYNC and you found Entertainment Asylum Music!

EA: You are such a pro. Do you have anything to say to your fans in parting?

Justin: Oh, just thank you for all the support. You gave us a great ninety-eight, so we'll hope to give you a great ninety-nine. And God bless!

EA: Great. Great. Justin that's wonderful. Thank you so much for taking time. I know how busy you are.

EA: And tell the rest of the guys we would LOVE to have you come back for a chat on AOL when you can. Because the last chat you did with us was just huge.

Justin: Cool!

EA: It was great and the fans just loved it.

Justin: Cool. I'd love to do it.

EA: Yeah, got a lot of fans here. Okay, thank you again.

Justin: All right. Bye.
