Kevin
Kevin has been desribed many times as being the father of the group. Here's what else the members of the group say about him
Brian
"My cousin Kevin. He's the big brother of us. He's like the dad- the old man of the group. We all respect him very much/ I love him very much because we're family and he's a wonderful singer,"
"He is a perfectionist. He's got a lot of positive aspects, but he lets his perfectionist side get in the way sometimes, because he wants things to be too perfect. He knows he needs to lighten up- sometimes he'll look at people and they think he's goung to rip their heads off!"
Nick
"Kevin is very unaware of things. He'll just run into a wall or he'll run into you."
Howie "He's mature, responsible, professional and knows what he wants, but sometimes he doesn't know the most successful way to achieve it. He's the authoritive one. You need someone like that, who has leadership qualities, to get the guys together. Sometimes we'll get together and talk to the other guys because he doesn't want to come across as the one telling everyone what to do."
AJ "
"His nickname is 'Train' because when he's on automatic pilot, he'll just knock you over. Like when you're playing basketball, he'll trample all over you."
Kevin
"I don't mind being considered a teen idol at all. It's an honor."
"For me, mentally towards the end, it was really getting to me. I had lower back pain, I had thrown my knees out. It was hard, but we made it. We've been touring five years, but this was the longest period of dates back-to-back."
"When you're a singer on stage, of course you can see the reaction of the people, and that's the greatest feeling of all. That's what we're here for. It's a natural high. When you see someone singing your song, it's pretty wild. It can almost make you want to cry."
"Before a show we normally do a vocal warm-up to get the chords ready, annd stretch out a little bit. Then we all join hands with our production [crew], the management, and our band and we say a little prayer and give thanks for the opportunity to perform and just ask that the show goes well. And then we hit the stage. That's how we do it."
