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' hottest hit, DREAM, is here chatting LIVE!

MODERATOR: 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"?

Dream_Holly: The crowd's response is incredible.

NICKYapper: Melissa is next! Send in your questions for her now :)
