ChatYahoo_Lisa: Welcome to Yahoo! Chat...in
just a few minutes we will be chatting with NICK! Send in your questions
now! We will try to answer as many as we can.....The Backstreet Boys are
in Portland tonight for a concert...they are doing the sound check right
now. Nick will be chatting live from the concert venue. He is the third
BSB to chat this summer....we chatted with A.J. a couple of weeks ago
ChatYahoo_Lisa: Last night the BSB boys
were in Yahoo!'s home town of San Francisco and so we went with A.J., Kevin
and Howie to Phantom of the Opera. A.J. told us in his last chat that he
had never seen it. I hear that everyone had a terrific time! We also saw
their concert in San Francisco---they ROCKED!
ChatYahoo_Lisa: Nick is Here!!!!!
ChatYahoo_Lisa: Welcome Nick!
venyssa999 asks: Nick, you're great!!! I
love you. Do you ever feel like you missed out because you never played
high school sports, attended the prom, or went to graduation because you
were tutored?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: Nick: Of course I do.
I think it was a definite sacrifice to make in order to do this...But at
the same time I wouldn't give this up for the world, but again as I've
said there are things I wish I could've done.
samantha_kwok asks: What would you do if
you only had twenty four hours to live?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: I would play some Nintendo!
No... I would call anybody everybody I knew...I would just try to have
a whole day with everybody I knew so I could see them one last time.
ChatYahoo_Lisa: What would be the song you
would want to sing on that day?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: I would have to sing,
it's a church song I used to sing with my great grandfather who passed
away. It would be Amazing Grace. I used to sing it with my great grandfather.
He used to play the organ in church and I used to sing when I went over
to his house while he played.
hyper_lady asks: Nick, Why did u cut your
hair???????
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: Well, you must be talking
recently...but I didn't cut my hair, well I did, I had to trim it down
because it was getting way too long.. in the Teen People issue people were
saying how it was way too long and I was getting kind of tired of that.
Plus, summertime came around and it was getting way too hot.
MusicFreak132 asks: Who's Your Fave Spice
Girl?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: I don't have a favorite
Spice Girl, simple as that :) They were cool enough for what they are,
but I never really got into them all that much.
Dava_loraine asks: What is the worst part
being famous?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: I'm never really home
that much .. I'm always touring and I really don't have a chance to relax
chill and do nothing. Recently I did, but we're always touring.. so really
being home and seeing all my family and friends.
N_Tash_C asks: Where's the best place you've
ever traveled since being in the Backstreet Boys?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: I dont know.. Austrlia
was really nice. Spain was really nice.. Pretty much just places that have
been on the beach. I like the ocean, so that's probably why I really like
those places so much.
aletha1983 asks: What do you really look
for in a girl and be honest does good looks, and a good body really matter?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: I think a girl should,
in general what I look for is somebody who can handle the pressures and
things that I do. A lot of the reasons we don't have girlfriends is because
of all the pressures we undertake.. I mean you have to be attracted to
a person, but you can put a not so good looking girl next to a gorgeous
girl and if the not so good looking girl has a better personality, then
you'll go that way. Some people will say "yeah right"
zakotra asks: what is your favorite animated
cartoon show?!
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: Just recently I went
to the movie Quest for Camelot.
FrickLuva asks: Who's the most crazy, Brian,
AJ or you?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: I think AJ is crazy.
If you wanna put someone as crazy, it's him.. He's got a very big outlook
on life.. he does anything he wants to do.. he colors his hair.. he's just
a crazy cool type of guy.
Nicklover_NL asks: What are you wearing
at the moment?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: I'm wearing a warm
up suit and Nikes.
donnakay68 asks: What is it like being the
youngest in the group?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: I get a lot of slack
sometimes.. the guys pick on me alot cause I'm the youngest but that's
the role that younger brothers play you know what I'm saying?
Dora04_98 asks: Hi Nick!! Have you ever
gone skinny dipping? And if not will you ever?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: Yeeeaaaah I have, but
I was by myself.. my parents were gone and I was like "why not?"
Tori_and_Tara_in_TO asks: Who is the coolest
celebrity you've met so far?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: Henry Winker -- the

a duet with anyone, who would it be?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: I would do it with
Steve Perry.
dawn_em_ asks: How do you think you have
changed since becoming so famous?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: I'd like to hope that
I haven't changed. If any one tells me that I have, I try to fix it. I
want to stay the same. I don't consider myself any better than anyone out
there and just want to continue doing what I'm doing and enjoying what
I'm doing.
w_harty asks: If you could have a super
power for a day what would it be and why?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: I would have to have
the ability to clean up the ocean. To help the world in some way.. if that
question was asked to somebody they'd say I'd love to have super jumping
powers, I'd like to give back to the world, and if I can't do that I'd
want to do something else for it.
CrazyChic_7 asks: What is the name of Nick's
new pupppy??
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: My new puppy.. I actually
had two pugs and their names are Mikey and Willie and got a new one named
Houston, because I got her in Houston. I sent her home from the road, because
she was a real small puppy and it wasn't good for her out there.

Nick do you believe in love at first sight?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: I dont know, I think
you'd have to experience it first. I haven't had that yet.
Nicks_girl1817 asks: What is your biggest
fear in life?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: My biggest fear in
life would have to be... well I really can't stand sharks although I'm
fascinated by them. Well not that I can't stand them, but my fear is being
in the water and being attacked by them. But I'd really have to say flying,
I hate flying...if there's an opportunity to take a bus or fly, I'd rather
take a bus. I don't want to step on a plane where you don't have control...

Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: Hmmmm...I've probably
worn out some Journey CDs like crazy.. I played Raised on Radio forever...Also
I played out -- not a lot of people like it, but the Hammer album .. The
Funky Headhunter album.. I played it so much I ruined that CD...then I
bought another one and lost that one...and lost another one, so I've contributed
to the Hammer foundation :-) I used to play it when I played video games
a lot.. but that's me, I'm a weird person ;-)
N_Tash_C asks: What's it like on the tour
bus?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: Can be hectic, very
claustrophobic, can be fun at times when you can play video games in the
back. That's the best.. I love playing video games.
Shelly_BSB asks: What video did you have
the most fun making?

cut.

craziest rumour you've ever heard about yourself or the band?

makes BSB's music unique?

that has happened this US tour so far? :)

show where I ripped the back of my pants out...and we had ducked down,
done a move or something, it felt like it ripped, but I was like "maybe
not"... but then I felt this breeze coming up from somewhere and I put
my hand back there and I could actually touch my whole butt! That was pretty
bad.
BackieJ asks: Nick,what kind of pizza is
your favorite?
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: Cheese, lots of cheese,
tons of cheese. I'll never forget, we were up in Canada somewhere and me
and Brian were up watching a Dodgers game or something and the pizza we
ordered had cheese and inch thick! It was gooey and cheesy! And then Piazza
hit a homer to win the game -- it was pretty cool. And at that time we
were calling Mike Piazza "pizza face" because of his name.
Angel_heaven20 asks: Describe a typical
day.
Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: There is type A, type
B, Type C. Type A would be a normal tour day -- you sleep from 11 at night,
you just did a show, and then you sleep all the way until noon, 2 or 3.
You wake up, pack and get on the bus and travel to the venue, then you
do it all again. Then there's type B, a promotional tour which is hell
on earth -- well it can be fun too...but you're traveling all different
places and working all hours of the day doing photo shoots, television
shoots... etc. Then there's type C: The day off. Which you just gotta love!
:)

I was a chef --Chef Boyardee!
