Lesley: I started dancing when I was four. Brittany was in my dance group and there were some older kids, I really looked up to them. I wanted to sing like they did so I started taking vocal lessons.
Brittany: I wanted to sing when I was dancing and I would always sing. My mom thought I should learn the correct way to sing so she put me in vocal lessons.
Brandon: I started singing because of Brit (his sister.) I would have to wait with mom when she took her lessons, so I figured I might as well take some lessons too and not just sit in the waiting area.
Chris: There were always shows at my school and they would ask us to sing, so I got into that. And I had other influences, older kids, that helped me get into it.
Brittany: I think Wish That I Could Read Your Mind is a cool song because we always wonder what people are thinking .
Brandon: Change A Heart, Change The World and God Bless The USA are good cuz of their theme but my favorite to perform is Spinnin' Around.
Lesley: The ways you're supposed to dress. We want to be clean cut and dress the way we want to dress, not sexy and stuff. Some people feel they can't dress the way they want.
Brittany: At my old school, trying to follow the popular kids was a problem. You don't always have to do that. You can try to be yourself.
Chris: I think that one of biggest problems with kids is being pressured into being something you're not.
Lesley: I went to public school and a lot of people are pressured to have sex. It is a problem with kids.
Lesley: I like boys. You know how it is, I'm boy crazy. I just love 'em.
Brittany: I love boys! Any cute boys send letters to Brittany!
Chris: I have a girlfriend.
