Nick will be chatting live from the concert venue. He is the third BSB to chat this summer....we chatted with A.J. a couple of weeks ago ChatYahoo_Lisa: Last night the BSB boys were in Yahoo!'s home town of San Francisco and so we went with A.J., Kevin and Howie to Phantom of the Opera. A.J. told us in his last chat that he had never seen it. I hear that everyone had a terrific time! We also saw their concert in San Francisco---they ROCKED! ChatYahoo_Lisa: Nick is Here!!!!! ChatYahoo_Lisa: Welcome Nick! venyssa999 asks: 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? Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: 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 asks: What would you do if you only had twenty four hours to live? Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: I would play some Nintendo! No... I would call anybody everybody I knew...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? Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: I would have to sing, it's a church song I used to sing with my great grandfather who passed away. It would be Amazing Grace. 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 asks: Nick, Why did u cut your hair??????? Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: Well, you must be talking recently...but I didn't cut my hair, well I did, I had to trim it down because it was getting way too long.. in the Teen People issue people were saying how it was way too long and I was getting kind of tired of that. Plus, summertime came around and it was getting way too hot. MusicFreak132 asks: Who's Your Fave Spice Girl? Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: I don't have a favorite Spice Girl, simple as that :) They were cool enough for what they are, but I never really got into them all that much. Dava_loraine asks: What is the worst part being famous? Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: 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. Recently I did, but we're always touring.. so really being home and seeing all my family and friends. N_Tash_C asks: Where's the best place you've ever traveled since being in the Backstreet Boys? Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: I dont know.. Austrlia was really nice. Spain was really nice.. Pretty much just places that have been on the beach. I like the ocean, so that's probably why I really like those places so much. aletha1983 asks: What do you really look for in a girl and be honest does good looks, and a good body really matter? Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: 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 asks: what is your favorite animated cartoon show?! Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: Just recently I went to the movie Quest for Camelot. FrickLuva asks: Who's the most crazy, Brian, AJ or you? Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: I think AJ is crazy. If you wanna put someone as crazy, it's him.. He's got a very big outlook on life.. he does anything he wants to do.. he colors his hair.. he's just a crazy cool type of guy. Nicklover_NL asks: What are you wearing at the moment? Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: I'm wearing a warm up suit and Nikes. donnakay68 asks: What is it like being the youngest in the group? Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: I get a lot of slack sometimes.. the guys pick on me alot cause I'm the youngest but that's the role that younger brothers play you know what I'm saying? Dora04_98 asks: Hi Nick!! Have you ever gone skinny dipping? And if not will you ever? Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: Yeeeaaaah I have, but I was by myself.. my parents were gone and I was like "why not?" Tori_and_Tara_in_TO asks: Who is the coolest celebrity you've met so far? Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: Henry Winker -- the Fonz -- he was a really cool guy. Sarah_and_Brandy asks: If you could sing a duet with anyone, who would it be? Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: I would do it with Steve Perry. dawn_em_ asks: How do you think you have changed since becoming so famous? Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: I'd like to hope that I haven't changed. If any one tells me that I have, I try to fix it. I want to stay the same. I don't consider myself any better than anyone out there and just want to continue doing what I'm doing and enjoying what I'm doing. w_harty asks: If you could have a super power for a day what would it be and why? Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: I would have to have the ability to clean up the ocean. To help the world in some way.. if that question was asked to somebody they'd say I'd love to have super jumping powers, I'd like to give back to the world, and if I can't do that I'd want to do something else for it. CrazyChic_7 asks: What is the name of Nick's new pupppy?? Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: My new puppy..

Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: My biggest fear in life would have to be... well I really can't stand sharks although I'm fascinated by them. Well not that I can't stand them, but my fear is being in the water and being attacked by them. But I'd really have to say flying, I hate flying...if there's an opportunity to take a bus or fly, I'd rather take a bus. I don't want to step on a plane where you don't have control... missy23_ca asks: If you were a girl, which backstreet boy would you like the most?

Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: Can be hectic, very claustrophobic, can be fun at times when you can play video games in the back. That's the best.. I love playing video games. Shelly_BSB asks: What video did you have the most fun making? Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: Probably BackStreet's Back.. although it was really long.. it took 3 days -- day and night we were working...it was hectic but it was fun.. I mean when you saw the final cut. SinglePringle asks: Sara 15, UK What's the craziest rumour you've ever heard about yourself or the band? Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: Craziest rumor... Well... I can name a series of rumors..

Yahoo_BackstreetBoy: There is type A, type B, Type C. Type A would be a normal tour day -- you sleep from 11 at night, you just did a show, and then you sleep all the way until noon, 2 or 3. You wake up, pack and get on the bus and travel to the venue, then you do it all again. Then there's type B, a promotional tour which is hell on earth -- well it can be fun too...but you're traveling all different places and working all hours of the day doing photo shoots, television shoots... etc. Then there's type C: The day off.
