Obviously, your family's very supportive. Oh, yeah, I'm so thankful because they've supported me from the very beginning. I sang at my gradation in kindergarten. A Christian song was my first song. One of my first songs to really sing in front of an audience was, I think, probably, 'Wings Beneath My Wings' by Bette Midler.
Kids are usually uninhibited.
They can sing and dance in front of people and they don't have fear. When I was home, the company you're with you know. It's my hometown, so I feel real comfortable onstage. But actually being on tour, one of my first performances with 'N Sync, I have to admit I was really nervous because the opening acts I've seen at the Backstreet Boys show, when they came to New York, it was really bizarre because the fans are there to see Backstreet so when the opening acts came out, sometimes they were chanting Backstreet's name. I was really stressed, but I just got on stage and did the best I could do and it turned out really good.
