Do you have friends with "normal" jobs? Do you stay in touch with the world outside of show business? Old friends? Do you feel like you lead normal lives when you're not touring and being in the "star" role?

Of course we have old friends. But there was a time that we figured out who our real friends were. And that wasnt till later in our careers. wE TRY TO MAINTAIN NORMAL LIVES AS MUCH AS WE CAN ESPECIALLY WHEN WERE NOT WORKING. - HOWIE and NICK

Why have you choosen to make a comeback? We never really called it a comeback. We just needed time to have for ourselves so we could reflect on all the things we had gone through. Good and bad. - nick and howie

Do you write your own lyrics and do you compose your own melodies? Or are you just handed everything and are then just told, this is it... Do it! Please be sincere.

we do write for every album that we've done. but ultimately it comes down to the best songs for the album. we want to make the best album possible and i personally have had a song on each album. we aren't just handed material. we collaborate with each producer we work with. - hilsen Kevin

if it was some one who well get help from there to be a singer. What there would do then would there help her or him to be come a singer.

always practice a lot, record your own voice and listen to it and try to find out how you can make it better and sing from your heart! - Kevin

WE ARE VERY PROUD OF THIS ALBUM. WE TOOK THE TIME WE FELT TO TRUELY MAKE THE BEST SONGS WE FELT REPRESENTED US. - HOWIE AND NICK

Do you guys even like Boyband music? Whats more important, the image or the music? My sister was crazy about you in the teenage years when you guys became popular, but she is cured now :)

First of all, Thanks for giving us many years of great music!:) What do you think the lot of you would have done if you weren't the Backstreet Boys?:) What would have been your ambitions?
