Date: Aug 30, 2000 JOJO: "OMG, ladies and gentlemen, for a quick stop in, let's give it up for the man, Kevin Richardson from the Backstreet Boys" Kevin:"What's up JOJO?" JOJO: "Now dude, I've hung out with Howie quite a bit, AJ here and there, but never sat down with you. So first things first. Look at my hair, do you think it's too weird or are you cool with it?" *note, JOJO has really crazy hair, so he asks everyone what they think of his hair. Kevin: "I like it." JOJO: "Thank you bro." Kevin: "Dare to be different." JOJO: "Can I ask you? How was the honeymoon? And all that?" Kevin: "We went on a honeymoon. We went to Italy and I ate a lot of pasta and olives, and I gained about ten pounds, but I'm working out." Kaitlynn(caller, also me!! LoL): "JOJO, let me ask Kevin a question." JOJO: "Oh yeah go ahead" Kaitlynn: "Since you've been married, has anything changed?" Kevin: "I don’t feel any different. She's my buddy and it's all good. I don't feel any different.. I actually have seen her less since we've been married probably." JOJO: "When you write material for your album and all that stuff, which I'm going to get to here in a couple of seconds, did you ever run some of this stuff by your wife? And get her thoughts on it and see what she thought about it?" Kevin: "Oh, like always through the years. I mean, I've been dating her on and off now for eight years. So, I've always asked her opinion on things. I always ask my family and my friends just bounce things. It's good to have an outsiders point of view 'cause you'll be listening to the song for like three or four days in the studio over and over and over again, and at first you're excited about it, but then after a while you get kind of numb too. So, it's good to have an outsider's opinion. JOJO: "The new album that's coming out. What did she think about it?" Kevin: "She's actually only heard about three tracks, because that's all I've broughtten…broughtten? That's a new word." JOJO: "Let's get the dictionary out Kevin." (laughter) Kevin: "That's all that I've brought with me…home 'cause we're waiting on some of the mixes to come back. She likes what she's heard." JOJO: "Hey, let me get your opinion on the new album coming out." Kevin: "I'm happy with it. I'm excited about it. We wrote a song that we recorded with Baby Face and also produced, so we're excited probably about that. We're doing something work with Rodney Jerkins." JOJO: "Nice." Kevin: " And of course, we're doing some more work with Max and them over in Sweden. We feel like we got a nice well rounded album." JOJO: "Would it be safe to say you stayed true to the Backstreet sound, but kind of grew some as well?" Kevin: "I feel like it. Yeah, I feel like we're continually growing as writers and as singers." JOJO: "Are you just as happy with this album as you were the last album? 'Cause the last album was large. So, do you kind of compare them?" Kevin: "Yeah, it's tough to say. It's been like a week since I've heard a lot of the stuff we did. We're waiting on some of the mixes to come back. When we get all the mixes done, we got about 16 sounds were going to sit down and just pick the best tracks that we all feel are the strongest songs." JOJO: "Oh wow! I thought the album was totally totally done, but you guys have a little selecting process to go through. Cool. What about the tour?" Kevin: "We're already starting to plan the tour. Planning on hitting the road end of February. JOJO: "Okay, let me jump into this. Now, AJ did the solo thing with Johnny No Name and Howie did…didn't he do like a Latin kind of deal going on?" Kevin: "Yeah, he had a little Latin ensemble going on." JOJO: "Any plans on doing something like that yourself? Or is it just about the group right now?" Kevin: "I've just been writing and planning on possibly doing some acting and doing a little bit of directing." JOJO: "No kidding, if you had a dream role, what would it be?" Kevin: "In high school doing stuff, I did musical theatre and dinner theatre. I like characters." JOJO: "Like bad ass dude?" Kevin: "Yeah. Just comedy. I like comedy. I maybe would like to play …….." JOJO: "SSSStop it." Kevin: "No, I don't know, just characters. I like doing something that's totally over in left field." JOJO: "So, not normal." Kevin: "Somebody that fans or people wouldn't think I'd do." JOJO: "Finally bro, how long have you been married? Is it like one, two months?" Kevin: "Two months." JOJO: "I'm curious how you worked that out. 'Cause you've got screaming girls on you all the time and all over the world. You can't hide anywhere. How do you guys stay together? Was it tough? How does that work?" Kevin: "Like I said. Once we started touring and stuff, we've broken up several times, but she's my friend. She's a friend, and she's also a hot fan. So, I feel like I'm very lucky. I got a hot fan, beautiful person, and a hot sexy wife. She's hot, she's beautiful, she's sexy. And she's a good person on the inside. Which is most important. Because when we get older and the materialistic, outside, exterior starts to crumble. She's still got that beautiful heart." JOJO: "So, you're saying when you get old and ugly. You guys will still have something special on the inside. There you go you guys, the man, Kevin from the Backstreet Boys." Kevin: "We'll see you guys when we swing around for promotions.
