Ten Questions With BG5:
How do your different personalities and tastes come together as a group?
We each have very different personalities and tastes and when we come together we create something completely new and fresh. Our music lends itself to a few different styles within the Pop genre so each of us can put our own vibe into the album.
When did you realize you wanted to be entertainers?
At birth! We all got started in different ways, but each of us as children loved the limelight and wanted to share our love of music and dance.
Do you have any crazy tour stories to share so far?
We had a show and were using in-ear monitors, which are basically like headphones. We could only hear what was coming from our in-ears, not what the crowd heard. Somehow the music started in our in-ear monitors, but the speakers for the audience didn't pick up the music or our microphones. We performed about half of the song and the audience could only see us dancing around, they heard nothing! Eventually one of us took out the in-ears and realized nothing was playing and we just walked off the stage. We must have looked crazy!
What is your song 'Scratch' about?
Noreen: Scratch is about letting go with the music. I love the play on words connecting the 't-t for tat,' you-better-have-my-back attitude with a DJ scratching... Clever, eh? At the end of the day, music will always be there for you.
What was your favorite part while making the video for 'Scratch?'
Brooke: The best part for me was having the opportunity to see everything for which I've worked so hard take shape. The music video shooting process is hard work, but it is definitely one of the pay-offs in an artist's career. Where else do you get to wear outlandish clothes and have crazy make up and hair and do what you love?
What's the hardest outfit you ever had to dance in?
Brooke: That would most definitely be a bikini. They are just not made for dancing.
You've opened up for Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber. Have they (or any other artists) given you words of wisdom?
Brooke: I've been able to meet a ton of artists that I really respect, but one that has really stuck with me was Michael Jackson. I admire the way he was so kind to everyone and had such a big heart. If Michael Jackson -- with everything he accomplished -- was still humble, I'm pretty sure we all can be!
Who would win at a dance off, you guys or Justin Bieber?
We're willing to test that out!
How has Kris Kardashian, her family and your involvement with the show influenced you?
Kris is such an amazing person! The entire Jenner/Kardashian family has been so great to us. We are so lucky! Being on the show was so much fun! It's helped get our name out there and get people interested in knowing more about us.
Do you have any advice for aspiring young artists?
There is always room for new talent. Stay focused, stay grounded, and don't give up. The music industry is far from being easy, but if you're willing to give it your ALL, it is so worth it.
