I laughed at the line "and I have a full head of hair" :)

Aw poor Brian, but Kevin's right, he needs to get that voice sorted before it gets any worse. I hope Howie manages to calm the situation down.  Maybe AJ will make it worse going out for a cigarette.



Author's Response: LOL I love picking on AJ and his hair issues. I'd say Howie's good for that, but yeah, Kevin had to say it. Thanks Steph :)

Are you that fly on the wall in a BSB room? Because this seems so real, I know it isn't but I think we all know that this sounds like reality. Great job!

Author's Response: I wish LMAO, I'd make a mint selling videos of it! Thank you so much! :)

Awww, AJ. :( I really liked this chapter. At some point, Brian needed to hear that. He'll realize that their concern is out of love and making the group the best it can be. Awesome job.

Author's Response: Thanks! I agree, Brian had to hear it and Kevin had to say it. Hopefully he'll see the light, right? LOL.

I like how you have written AJ's take on it. I expected him to be the one that hated Kevin leaving the most, and after reading this I was surprised about the roles the others took on. Now I can kind of see how that would fit in especially with Nick acting like Kevin.

Poor Brian. To be honest I've noticed Brian's voice has wavered since Swine Flu as well....but some of the fan's comments I've seen are really mean. I'm glad Kevin told him but I would expect Brian to keep denying it. They are all at fault for not discussing things with him, in my opinion. Looking forward to the next chapter :)

Author's Response: He hated him leaving, but part of him understood it. In a way Nick didn't, really. I gave them roles that just felt realistic, looking at it. AJ seemed the least involved and Nick does act the most like Kevin anymore lol. I think we've all noticed Brian's voice has had issues, but you're right some are too harsh. If anyone would tell Brian though, I think it would be Kevin. They all should've talked to him but no one had the nerve to. Thanks Tracy!

Sad, but true - Brian doesn't sing like he used too. And for me to notice & say something, well, that's saying a LOT right there. I love hearing him sing, but I can usually hear when he's off & stuff.

Poor A.J. feeling left out of the Kevin/Nick things.

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~Lenni~



Author's Response: It is, and I wish he still did. Someone had to say it. You know, I oddly enough can see AJ really being jealous at times of the Nick/Kevin bond. They just connect better. Thanks for the feedback! :)

I love how you write AJ; you always do a great job in his POV. The KFC fight was intense; I don't read many scenes of them fighting! But if anyone was going to address the elephant in the room, it would be Kevin. I could really see that happening. You brought up the same idea of role reversal that Mare had in her last update, and again, I find that interesting too. Loving these stories - keep it up, ZDR!!

Author's Response: Thanks! Like I said, I dance a fine line between Nick and AJ lol. You know, you don't read many scenes of those two fighting, but I think if anything would cause it, this would. It needs to be addressed, I wonder if it will be when they do solo for this album for real. LOL when I saw Mare mentioning role reversal, I was like nice, great minds! LOL. That's why I had Nick mentioning how he took things on last chapter, to help set that up. I love writing this fic though, it brought back my inspiration! Thankies!

Great chapter' I sometimes do wonder if Brian is in complete denial about his technique. I hope Kevin does say something to him if that's the case. It's a breath control issue any professional vocal coach will tell him that. He probably doesn't want to hear it because he's been brainwashed to think he always sounds awesome. AJ was very Emin in this chapter lol loved his fugly tree. 



Author's Response: Thanks! What I love about doing group fics right now is touching on the issues I really would love to know lol. I've wondered that a LOT lately. I mean I wish Brian still sounded as awesome as he used to but he just doesn't. Is Emin supposed to be emo? LOL. I love writing AJ, I just always have to be careful cause I slip easily from AJ to Nick when I write AJ lmao. Glad you liked the fugly tree line, I figured only AJ would say something like that haha.

I loved the new chapter! It touched on exactly what I've been thinking about, is Brian going to get a lot of lead vocals on the new album. I mean we all know his voice has been suffering so it will be interesting to see what comes out of the new album. I'm just hoping Kevin gets solos since his voice is my favourite!



Author's Response: Thank you! It's an issue I knew I had to touch on, cause seriously, it's an issue whether people want to talk about it or not. I'm curious to see how they spread out the leads now too since a lot's changed lol.
