They were in all three cities in Planet Hollywood. It was making people aware so this doesn't happen to another person. Tell them we said thank you very much.

NSYNC: How many people are on-line right now? At least 10. Over 53,000 people.

J.C.: Is that good?

Justin: We all look up to our parents. and you should, too.

QUESTION: How do you make the concerts original(different) for each one?

J.C.: Every night has a different day, every crowd is different so they respond to different parts of the show differently, and we play off of the crowd. So, you know, some nights, you know, this part of the song might be longer. Some nights this part of the: song might be longer. It just changes with -- we give the people what they want. So. That and there's always -- something always go wrong. People don't always notice. Something always seems to go wrong, or something gets messed up and we have to change things around for those little mistakes each time.

JC: We actually did a whole day at a girl's house before. We've actually done that a couple of times. Where we spent some time at one of the fan's house. You know, they give us the grand tour and we'll hang out and play games and stuff. One girl had a carnival in her backyard. We ate cotton candy and played games all night.
