"I think Hanson's going to be around for a long time. I think that they're three great talented young men and I think that what people need to stop doing to music is looking at the negative in everything. People are trying their best. It's great, and I think they're going to be around for a long time. You know, I like Hanson. When I hear them sing live, they have good voices, they play live instruments. I think they are going to grow as musicians. They are great entertainers and they have a lot of personality... some clean-cut kids trying to have a good time. They sound like the Jackson 5 to me a little bit. They got a lot of soul to them."

Stephan Jenkins (Third Eye Blind's lead singer)

"I hate it when people say Hanson sucks...Hanson does NOT suck. They proved that at the Grammy's they can rock..face it people, bow down to Hanson, they rock and will be around alot longer than most..."

Rosie O'Donnell

"Those kids in Hanson are so talented and cute. Someone should get them a sitcom. They're cutie-patooties!"

Jay Kay (Jamiriquai)

"The guys can sing, they can play, good songs, they can all sing, got personality. They're brilliant."

"Ah, nice bunch of lads, totally different class, you see what I mean? Guys can sing. They can play. Good songs. They can all sing... got personality. They're brilliant, you know. I'd give it to them every time, you know? Well done. Brilliant. They deserve it. As Marilyn Manson, God forget Marilyn Manson, let's go get Hanson, yeah wow! Way to go Marilyn, ah yes, satanic verse."

Nick Carter (Backstreet Boys)

(When asked if there were any competition between BSB and Hanson, since they are the two most popular groups with the teen audience right now?)

"We bet this question would come up - oh you guys! We have a completely different sound and look and image and whatever have you, and we do not feel like rivals at all. Case closed. We really do think that Ike, Zac, and Taylor are talented though - they are really what you call "boy wonders". We are really happy for them - they have been working hard for like five years for more to get where they are - they are not the overnight sensation everyone thinks they are."

Fiona Apple

"I really think that they're stuff is cheesy now, but I think that that's just because they're young."

"I think that like, you know, they seem like they really love music which means that they'll stick with it...I think that Hanson could probably be really good in a few years, actually."
