Tracey: Knowing what you now know about being in a group(manufactured or otherwise) if you had to go back and do it again would you rather have started out in a group or would you have preferred to pursue a solo career right from the beginning? Which do you think is harder? (Amanda)

Tre:  Wow, I don’t really know which is harder, because with O-Town we had the tv show and everything, so everything was kind of put on a platter for us.  So definitely the solo thing is harder right now, but I’m sure the group thing is hard as well.  But I wouldn’t change anything.  I wouldn’t change anything.  People are like “oh would you have not wanted to do the tv show?” Of course I wanted to do the tv show.  The tv show is what got us our publicity, what got us out there to the public eye before we even had a song out.  I wouldn’t change anything.  I loved the whole process.  Everything about it was perfect.  The auditions, everything.  I wouldn’t change anything.  I would do it all the same way.

Tracey: Which song do you think will have the best potential for a first single? (Jessie)

Tre: For me?

Tracey: Yeah.

Tre:  I’m not really sure.  There are good songs, that put you on your toes.  There’s a song called “Hold On”, that is getting a lot of interest, a lot of talk.  I think it’s a really good song.  I don’t know if it’s a first single, but it could possibly be.  I think it’s very good.  I might not have even written my first single yet.

Tracey: What is the weirdest thing you have ever autographed?

Tre:  Oh, the weirdest thing I’ve ever autographed.  There is a lot of weird things that I have actually autographed.  Well, not weird, but let me think about it for a second. 

Tracey:  You can give us more then one.

Tre:  There’s shoes, there’s arms.  Okay, my weirdest autograph story is this.  I had a girl that came up to me and had me autograph a blank piece of paper.  So I autographed a blank piece of paper.  Then, the next time, when I saw her, in her city, my signature was tattooed on her ankle. 

Tracey:  Wow.

Tre: That’s gotta be the weirdest thing.  That was kind of crazy.

Tracey:  It’s kind of cool though.

Tre: Yeah, it was very flattering.  But it was like, wow, I can’t believe she did that.

Tracey: What song currently on the radio, gets stuck in your head? (Katelyn)

Tre: Oooh, what song currently on the radio gets stuck in my head.  I would have to say Chris Brown “Gimme That”.  Chris Brown’s new song.

Tracey:  Not sure I’ve heard it.

Tre:  That song gets stuck in my head pretty much all day.

Tracey:  Not sure I’m familiar with it, how does it go?

Tre:  I gotta hear it before, it’s not stuck in my head.  I don’t know the words.  *starts singing* 

*Josh plays song*

Tre:  Yeah, that’s it.  That’s it.

Tracey:  Nope, haven’t heard it.  Did it just happen to be on the radio, or did you put it on?

Tre:  I don’t know where that came from.

Josh:  I did that.

Tracey: Josh, ooookay.  What are you looking forward to most this summer?

Tre:  Being out on the road, touring. Performing.  Being out on the road.  That’s definitely it.  And then going to the beach.  I haven’t gone to the beach in a long time.

Tracey: Fun.  What would you like to say to your fans?

Tre: I would like to say thank you for sticking around, and continually supporting me, just hanging in there, going through the grind with me.  Hopefully when I come to a city near you, you can come out.
