ChatYahoo_Lisa: Nick is Here!!!!!

ChatYahoo_Lisa: Welcome Nick

venyssa999: 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?
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: What would you do if you only had twenty four hours to live?
Nick: I would play some Nintendo! No... I would call anybody everybody I knew...
Nick: 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?
Nick: I would have to sing, it's a church song I used to sing with my great grandfather who passed away
Nick: It would be Amazing Grace
Nick: 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: Nick, Why did you cut your hair???????
Nick: Well, you must be talking recently.. but I didn't cut my hair, well I did, I had to trim it down
Nick: b/c it was getting way too long.. in the Teen People issue people were saying how it was way too long
Nick: and I was getting kind of tired of that plus summertime came around and it was getting way too hot

MusicFreak132: Who's Your Fave Spice Girl?
Nick: I don't have a favorite Spice Girl, simple as that :)
Nick: They were cool enough for what they are, but I never really got into them all that much

Dava_loraine: what is the worst part about being famous
Nick: 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

N_Tash_C: where's the best place you've ever traveled since being in the Backstreet Boys?

aletha1983: what do you really look for in a girl and be honest does good looks, and a good body really matter
Nick: 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: what is your favorite animated cartoon show?!
Nick: Just recently I went to the movie Quest for Camelot.

FrickLuva: Who's the most crazy, Brian, AJ or you?

Sarah_and_Brandy: If you could sing a duet with anyone, who would it be?

dawn_em_: How do you think you have changed since becoming famous?
Nick: I'd like to hope that I haven't changed. If any one tells me that I have, I try to fix it
