HHNLive.com writer Rochelle White sits down with the boys from B5 to discuss working with Diddy, maturing as artists, why working with Disney isn't selling out, their struggle to get into the music game and much more.

B5 on their pre-Bad Boy days: "We had it rough. We lived in a two-bedroom house with 15 people in it..."

Ro: For the past two years, you guys have had a lot of success. How does it feel to be famous at such a young age?

Patrick: We don't consider ourselves famous. We are just doing what we love to do and people embrace it but getting free clothes is pretty nice!

Ro: Since you are teenagers does it feel like you are missing out on your childhood because of your music career? Do you get a chance to have fun and enjoy your adolescence?

Dustin: The only downfall is that we don't get to hang out with our friends as much as we would like to but we still have fun.

Patrick: We get to take trips to California and spend time in the mountains snowboarding. So we have fun but it isn't with our friends.

Kelly: It is definitely worth it though.

Ro: I know every one in the group has his own personality, with that being said which one of you is the bad boy or ladies man?

Dustin: I think that each of us is a ladies man!

Carnell: The bad boy of the bunch would probably be Dustin because he is always out trying to be gangster.

Patrick: The shy one used to be Carnell but now the shy one around girls is Bryan.

Kelly: Yeah Bryan is just now starting to like girls.

Ro: Ok guys, does it ever get annoying working with your family all the time?

Bryan: YES, especially when your brothers start talking about you. I like being shy around girls!

Carnell: I mean you do get tired of seeing them but it is not like you hate them. For example, if you are hanging at your friends house all the time you get tired of being over there but after a couple of days you are right back over there chilling with them.

Ro: Speaking of people getting on your nerves, everybody wants to know what it's like working with Diddy. Is he hard to work for?

Carnell: Well he expects 100% and that's what we give but Diddy is nice and down to earth.

Ro: So Diddy isn't as bad as he seems on TV?

Kelly: No, some of that stuff is just for TV. We were with Diddy the other night on 106 & Park and he is a cool dude to be around.

Ro: Speaking of 106 & Park, I saw you on the show last night and the girls in the audience were going crazy over you. Have you guys had any wild groupie experiences?

Patrick: Yeah there was this one time back in Minneapolis a couple years ago. I don't know if you heard about that. We ended up doing a Jingle Jam Tour and we performed at this mall in Minneapolis. As soon as we started performing these girls came up and surrounded the stage and then rushed us. We were trapped and we couldn't go anywhere.

Carnell: They ripped up pretty much all of our clothes and took our earrings.

Ro: Wow that is crazy! How did you feel when all that was going down?

Dustin: I mean it was cool at first but then it got dangerous.

Patrick: It was real dangerous. 70 cops came out to calm the crowd. They brought police dogs, and shot guns with bean bags. It was crazy.

Ro: Tell me about this sophomore album, "Don't Talk, Just Listen" how did you come up with that title?

Patrick: When our first album was out everybody was saying that we are just little kids and we don't know anything about music. Now we are young men and we have grown musically. So the title is basically saying before you talk about us listen to the album.

Dustin: Don't judge a book by its cover.

Ro: So how is the album different from your debut album two years ago?

Dustin: Everything is different. We matured vocally and we wrote two songs on the album. We also worked with a lot of producers. We stepped our game up a lot more this is like our upgrade album.

Ro: Can you name some of the people that worked with you on this album?

Patrick: On this album we worked with Bryan Michael Cox, will.i.am, a new hot producer named Blaze, Underdog, Scott Storch and Timberland.

Dustin: We worked with a lot of people. I would have to say this is the best album of the year.

Ro: When you first came out with the debut album you did a lot of projects with Disney. Are you now trying to stray away from that image that you gained while working with them?

Dustin: Well a lot of people don't realize how hard it is to get into Disney and how much of a blessing it is to do projects with them. So yeah on the first album we did a lot of things with Disney but for this second album we are focusing more on showing our maturity.

Kelly: But also there has been a lot of talk about B5 selling out because we are doing stuff with Disney but we are not selling out. Disney is just another market that we are able to hit. A lot of other artists can't hit that market.

Patrick: The only reason people talk about this is because they don't know how much power Disney has. The High School Musical Soundtrack, which we did a song on, sold over four million copies. So you really have to realize how much power they have before you say B5 sold out.

Ro: Are you still doing some projects with Disney?

Patrick: Of course! We are always going to do stuff with Disney. We want our music to be for everybody.

Ro: Well how do you feel about the comparison people make between B5 and Jackson 5?

Kelly: It is a wonderful thing because Jackson 5 was huge. They are legendary. So when people say that we remind them of Jackson 5 that makes us feel good. They are the reason that we are here.

Ro: So do you ever plan on branching out and doing solo careers?

Patrick: We probably will branch out and do solo careers but not right now because we are all focused on B5.

Kelly: The solo projects will probably be way, way, way, down the line but we would still come back together and do another B5 album.

Ro: Are you guys planning on being in music for a long time?

Dustin, Kelly, Patrick, Carnell, and Bryan: Yes!

Carnell: We want to be entrepreneurs.

Patrick: Yeah we want to be like Diddy because he does a little bit of everything.

Ro: In another interview you said that people don't really know who you are. What is it that you want the public to know about B5?

Dustin: I feel that a lot of people think that we are just some pretty boys that have been raised by Diddy the whole time and really that is not how it is and I think people get the wrong impression of us.

Patrick: We had it rough. We lived in a two-bedroom house with 15 people in it. So it makes me mad to hear people talk about us. We had to work hard for this and people don't realize that.

Kelly: People want to hate on us because they think that this was all given to us. They don't understand the sacrifices that we had to make in life.

Patrick: And when we tell people what we have gone through then they say, "Oh, OK you guys are cool now."
