"Well, that's a very deep subject.
I just want to know if your fans will understand that, cause...well...these
fans don't look that happy." Jay says.
"Baby, get out of there. Come on
Kevin, I can tell you know something's going to happen. Get out of
there!!!" I say to the TV.
"Well, why don't you ask some of the fans;
we can select a few out of the audience..." Jay says being cut off
by Kevin.
"Why don't we go back stage, then you
can ask them." Kevin says.
"Good boy Kev, get out of there quick."
I say to the TV.
"OK, we'll be right back with some words
from the fans." Jay says.
"Gosh, I can't believe he said that right
in front of those fans." I say.
"Anywhere he would have announced it,
there would be fans around. He did it this way, so that you would
get to see it too. Give him some credit." Tiffany says.
"OK, we're back. AJ McLean of 'Backstreet
Boys' just announced that he's getting married. What I want to know
is how do the fans feel about this? Let's ask this young lady right
here. Miss, what's do you think of all of this?" Jay asks.
I cringe, knowing that the answer isn't
going to be too happy.
"Well, I think it's....good." She
says.
"You do?!?" Jay asks in surprise.
"They're normal people just like you and
me; they deserve a chance at a normal life. Hitched or not, they're
still the same guys." She says.
"Well, what about this young lady?
What do you think?" Jay asks.
"I think, as long as they keep singing
and performing, it's OK." She says.
"Are you girls serious?" Jay asks.
"Yes, we are." They say.
"Well, let's bring the guys back out,
and then we'll take a caller. Hello, your on Jay Leno." Jay
says as the guys walk out and sit down.
"I think it's great that he's getting
married. I know that he's in love, and his fiancee is the luckiest
girl in the world." The caller says.
"That's a very nice complement, may I
ask what your name is?" AJ asks the caller.
"You know who it is babe." The caller
says.
AJ and the guys start laughing, they know
that the caller is me.
"Do you guys know who it is?" Jay
asks.
They all nod their heads.
"Is this....her, your girl?" Jay
asks AJ.
With a big smile, AJ knobs his head yes.
"Whoa, she's got some guts calling up.
Well, this is certainly a surprise. Is there anything you want to
say?" Jay asks.
"Yes, there is. One, I love you
AJ. Two, I miss all of you guys. And three, I want to thank
everyone that is supporting AJ's decision. It's show's how faithful
you are to the guys. I know that a lot of you are hurt by this though,
but just think...you still have Nick!!!!" I say.
Nick blushes and the guys start laughing
as the crowd cheers Nicks name.
"Well, I need to go. Bye."
I say.
"Bye. Wow, she knows how to
talk to the fans doesn't she?" Jay says.
"Well, she's had experience with dealing
with all of our fans. Fans calling our houses, fans sending us mail,
fans seeing her and surrounding her, asking for her to get our autograph
for them, fans chasing us when we are out on the town; which she has had
quite a few cases of that." Brian says with a laugh.
"And if I'm not mistaken, she's in your
movie that you are all making. Is that right?" Jay asks.
"Yes, she plays...well...AJ's girlfriend
in the movie. She does the part very well, I don't see why."
Kevin says with a smile.
"She would be on tour with us right now,
but she's staying with a dear friend that is dying of cancer. And,
even though she wants to stay with all of us, she does love this person
very much. She will be joining us soon though." Howie says.
"Well, it sounds like you have yourself
a great girl AJ. OK, we're going to ask you to perform one more song."
Jay says.
The guys nod their heads and walk toward
the stage.
"This next song is called 'Like A Child.'
I hope you all like it." Kevin says.
The music starts....
If I could right the wrongs that made you cry
I make a promise not to say goodnight
'Cause I'm holding on
With a love so strong
And I can't take a day without you by my sideGirl if I could change
If I could change your mind
Baby you could help me wipe these tears from my eyesGirl don't stop
The sun from shining down on me
'Cause I can't face another day without your smile
And if you take away the loving arms the suit around me
Then I may break down and cry just like a childGirl, I can't belong and I won't be free
I I fail to bring your lovin' back to me
So I'm pressin' on
I hope you understand
There's a broken heart that lies inside you handsSo if I could change
And it won't hurt your pride
Baby you can help me stop those tears that I cryGirl don't stop
The sun from shining down on me
'Cause I can't face another day without your smile
And if you take away the loving arms the suit around me
Then I may break down and cry just like a childLike a child
Just like a child
With the spirits running free
She showed me why
Oh, she didLike a child (oh baby)
Just like a child
Think of what our love could be
If our hearts could set us free
Like a childGirl don't stop
The sun from shining down on me
'Cause I can't face another day without your smile
And if you take away the loving arms the suit around me
Then I may break down and cry just like a child
