MODERATOR:
Holly, welcome and say hello to our guests here in nick.com's Blab-a-torium!!
Dream_Holly: Hey everyone! What's going on?
MODERATOR:
Holly here's the first question of the night from nickgirl67!
MODMSG nickgirl67: What was your life like when you started singing
and having concerts?
Dream_Holly:
When I first started....it was hard, we were away from our families,
living on a bus...it was sort of a pain...
Dream_Holly: But it was fun...it was a totally different lifestyle.
MODERATOR: emily10112 got here early for a good seat!
MODMSG emily10112: How did you come up with the song "He Loves Me He
Loves U Not"?
Dream_Holly: Actually, the writers were the same people, Steve Kipner
and Dave Frank, who produced "Genie in a Bottle."
Dream_Holly: We were really excited about it. It seemed to us that it
was something we could do.
MODERATOR: cpluvr would love some background information :)
MODMSG cpluvr32: Hi, I wanna know how did you come up with the name
*Dream* ?
Dream_Holly: We liked it because we thought it suited us perfectly...
Dream_Holly: It's our "dream" to do this!
Dream_Holly: Our former manager came up with the name and we really
liked it.
MODERATOR: gurlie62 is asking this one directly to you, Holly :)
MODMSG gurlie62: Holly, who are some of your idols?
Dream_Holly:
Personally, my idols are Sarah McLachlan, Brian McKnight...Lauryn Hill.
MODERATOR: Here's one from abbysowner...
MODMSG abbysowner: What is the best thing about being famous???
Dream_Holly: We don't consider ourselves famous...we're like normal
people.
Dream_Holly:
I think the best thing about being in "Dream" is being able to sing
and make music every day with each other.
MODERATOR:
dreamfan1 has a great screenname and a great question!
MODMSG dreamfan1: Holly, you all did a great job on "Pain." Where'd
you get the inspiration for that? -Stephanie (btw, I'ma huge fan, thanks
for everything!)
Dream_Holly: Thank you, dreamfan! We were given the song and it already
had the chorus...
Dream_Holly: More than anything we just wanted the song to be musically
good..
Dream_Holly:
We took it just from ideas that we have...pretty basic, about a guy
who's playing with you, and you're not gonna put up with it.
NICKYapper:
If you're joining us late, welcome to the Blab-a-torium! Bad Boy Records'

zathras83 preferred to ask you this question! :)
MODMSG zathras83: Hi Holly...which do you prefer so far, performing
at large stadiums, or smaller venues, like October's Rock The Mall Tour?
Dream_Holly: It's totally different. The tour was so much fun because
we got to be really close to the fans, sign autographs...
NICKYapper:::holding
out paper for an autograph::
Dream_Holly: Doing a big tour is an incredible rush, getting up in front
of all those people, with their glowsticks and so excited...
Dream_Holly: So it's hard to say.
MODERATOR: bonjovimg almost missed asking this!
MODMSG bonjovimg: What are some things you miss as you are on tour?
Dream_Holly: We all miss our families and our friends and homes...
Dream_Holly: I think that's pretty much it.
MODERATOR: Send in your questions for Holly! We have time to ask her
2 more! :)
MODMSG hehaa: What's your totally favorite song to sing, out of "He
Loves U Not," "Telephone," "Pain," or "Intro
Jorden"?
