Dan ::MSN Chat::


Digital Dish Diva says: Welcome to MSN Live! Today we are proud to present a very special chat with O- Town's Dan Miller of "Making the Band" on ABC.

Digital Dish Diva says: Dan, welcome to MSN Live!

Dan Miller says: Hey! What's up! Thanks for coming to the chat!

Digital Dish Diva says: We have thousands of questions so let's get started! Dan, we also have lots of comments about your great smile!

Digital Dish Diva says: Guest_Frack2822 Asks:Dan: What do you feel is the most important thing you have learned from being in O-Town?

Dan Miller says: I think the most important thing I've learned is how to communicate with different types of people. When you're put in a situation where you have to live with 4 different types of people, you have to get along with everyone or else you'll kill yourself, or the other way around. (laughs)

Digital Dish Diva says: vanessa_nikki Asks: Dan, how does your family feel about you being in the group?

Dan Miller says: My family loves it actually! They got to come to the show in NY this weekend and experience it.

Digital Dish Diva says: ashley823 Asks: Dan, what was the first thing that ran through your head when you found out you were gonna be in O-Town?

Dan Miller says: Wow! I don't know. I was just really focused on getting to work, learning the songs and dances and fitting in. I think that was the only thing going through my mind at the time.

Digital Dish Diva says: buttercup273 Asks: What did you want to be when you grew up?

Dan Miller says: I always wanted to be an architect. I always thought I could be an Olympic diver. It sounds kind of dumb, and I would never wear a speedo in public either. (laughs)

Digital Dish Diva says: sweet_sunshine5 says: Dan, how much as your life changed in being in the group O- Town and having people watch you every Friday?

Dan Miller says: A lot! I never get to see my family or friends. I had to put school on hold for the moment and I get to do what I love every day now. Which is a lot better than what most people get to do, ya know.

Digital Dish Diva says: drea427 Asks: Hey Dan, I'm Andrea, I love you! What's the bravest thing you've ever done?

Dan Miller says: I love you back!! The bravest thing I've ever did... hmm, I'm not sure. I'm not really a brave person, I don't like taking risks. I'm pretty much a wuss at most times. I think everything through before I do them and sometimes I over think things.

Digital Dish Diva says: 2cute20 Asks: What's one thing you had to get used to when you entered the band?

Dan Miller says: I had to get used to be working hard every day and not procrastinate. That was the hardest for me.

Digital Dish Diva says: O_Town_fanatic Asks: Describe your personality in three words.

Dan Miller says: Humble, quiet, and outgoing.

Digital Dish Diva says: OtownzGurl Asks: Who's the most important person in your life right now?

Dan Miller says: I probably have to round that to my parents right now. They're not one person, but I couldn't leave one of them out, ya know. So I would say them.

Digital Dish Diva says: What a great answer, Dan. That's cool.

Digital Dish Diva says: _lttlerichgirl Asks: I love you guys so much. When is your CD coming out cause so far the songs are great.

Dan Miller says: The single should come out October or late September and the album should come out around Christmas. December, January area.

Digital Dish Diva says: kahri1 Asks: What do you do in your down time? Do you get much of it?

Dan Miller says: We don't get much of it, but when I do, it's usually sitting around watching TV in my underwear. Basically just chill out. I'll go catch a movie and go to sleep early. That's what I do on a day off.

Digital Dish Diva says: ValerieD00 Asks: I just want to say that I love you and O-Town. It was so incredible how you learned all the dance steps so fast in "All 4 Love." If you could change one thing about your new life , what would it be?

Dan Miller says: I don't know if I would change anything. If anything, it would be how much I could see my family and friends back home. On the other hand, if I saw my family and friends more, I wouldn't see these guys as much as I do.

Digital Dish Diva says: Dans_Angel says: Dan, is your favorite fast food really Chicken McNuggets? if so, how often do you get to go to McDonalds?

Dan Miller says: I would say Chicken McNuggets is my favorite fast food, but it's kind of a guilty pleasure because I try and eat healthy. I actually haven't been to McDonald's in a long while. I've been trying to eat healthy and get all my vitamins and nutrients. It's hard to eat healthy on the road, so you gotta do what you can.

Digital Dish Diva says: luv4spankie says: Was it weird when you first moved into the house? Did you feel out of place at all, because the other 4 guys already had that time to bond?

Dan Miller says: For the first couple of weeks I was there, I didn't feel completely part yet cuz, they would give me some crap and I had problems getting to fit in right away. And it was hard for a while.

Digital Dish Diva says: baby_blue_babe2 Asks: Hi Dan, I'm Rachel! Who spends the most time primping? I love you so much!

Dan Miller says: I love you back! Thanks for the support! I would say Ashley spends the most time primping. I don't think that's a surprise to anybody. (laughs)

Digital Dish Diva says: Of course he does. (laughs)

Digital Dish Diva says: lifelessflower Asks: When you were young, who inspired you the most musically?

Dan Miller says: Michael Jackson. My parents have footage of me copying Michael Jackson moves and listening to the "Thriller" record over and over.

Digital Dish Diva says: Have you met Michael Jackson yet?

Dan Miller says: Don't I wish! We have met Tito, Germaine and Jackie though.

Digital Dish Diva says: Rae says: Dan, when will be on a tour?~Rachel~Paola Kansas

Dan Miller says: As soon as possible actually! We're going to do our best to get one out very soon.

Digital Dish Diva says: ItsGonnaBeMeToo Asks: Do you consider any one guy to be a best friend?

Dan Miller says: I don't know if I consider best friend, because we're like best friends together. All five of us are best friends. I spend a lot of time with Trevor and Jacob.

Digital Dish Diva says: OtownzGurl Asks: I'm watching MTB right now, cuz I have it taped! You guys are an amazing group! You guys have such potential! I wish ya all the luck! I was wondering what's the craziest thing a fan has done for you so far?

Dan Miller says: A fan in Toronto gave us a hamster in a cage and she just ran up out of the blue and handed us this hamster. We were like "Woah!" we were pretty shocked by this hamster!

Digital Dish Diva says: bait says: How long will the show be on?

Dan Miller says: The last show airs on September 8th. But beyond that, we just found out today that there will be a second season of "Making The Band."

Digital Dish Diva says: Congratulations, Dan! That is great news!

Digital Dish Diva says: Eowyn737 Asks: Do you actually get to watch the show at all?

Dan Miller says: Yes. We usually don't watch it Friday night, but we get an advanced copy and all sit down and watch it. We watched this Friday's show today. We all sit down together and watch, just not on Friday.

Digital Dish Diva says: Pacey says: Do you get recognized a lot?

Dan Miller says: I don't get recognized by myself yet, only because I've been on the show for a couple of weeks now. But when I'm with all of the guys, we get recognized quite a bit.

Digital Dish Diva says: DIVA1385 Asks: What advice would you give to an aspiring pop diva like myself, and you guys are great performers!

Dan Miller says: Well, keep following your dreams. But on the other hand, have a backup plan. I didn't think this would happen in my wildest dreams, and I had a backup plan. To become a recording artist, it only happens to a few people. So you have to have a backup plan because you can't put your whole live on it.

Digital Dish Diva says: falke says: If we saw you on the street today, what would you be wearing? Are you a Gap or grunge guy?

Dan Miller says: I think I'm neither. I'm normally a very urban kind of wearer. My clothes are usually baggy, unless I'm dressing up. My normal clothes are T-Shirt, jeans, and hat or bandana.

Digital Dish Diva says: brown_suga15 Asks: People say you are the best dancer from the group is that true? I love you!

Dan Miller says: Oh wow! Thank you!! I hate to slight Trevor or Jacob also. I like to think of myself as a good dancer but Jacob and Trevor have good skills too. There doesn't have to be a best as long as we bring it all together on stage.

Digital Dish Diva says: ItsGonnaBeMeToo Asks: I'm from N.Y. and you have an accent that I just can't place. where in the US are you from?

Dan Miller says: I am from Twinsburg,Ohio which is by Cleveland.

Digital Dish Diva says: Danthemanfan says: Hi Dan, what is your favorite thing to take on the road with you?

Dan Miller says: Probably my CD player and CDs. I probably couldn't make it through all the planes we go on without that. It helps me go to sleep.

Digital Dish Diva says: Ok, now we have to follow up on that. What is the last thing you do before you go to sleep?

Dan Miller says: Turn off the TV.

Digital Dish Diva says: OTownGirlie says: If a fan INSISTED on giving you a gift, what would be the best thing they could give? LUV YA! Ashley

Dan Miller says: To me, any gift that I get from a fan is pretty darn impressive. Just because I never expected to be getting gifts from anyone but my family and friends. And for someone else to thing so highly of what I do to actually give me a gift, I really appreciate it.

Digital Dish Diva says: babyblueg2001 Asks: Hi Dan. My name is Becky, I love you. What kind of CD's are in your CD player as we speak I mean chat?

Dan Miller says: It's something R&B, probably Brian McKnight or Eric Benet or D'Angelo. People like that. I'm more of an R&B guy.

Digital Dish Diva says: Dan, are you guys still into cereal?

Digital Dish Diva says: Favorite?

Dan Miller says: We are definitely into cereal! Rice Crispy Treats cereal.

Digital Dish Diva says: Dan our last question is from OTown0 Asks: Hey Dan, your the best. What are the rest of the guys doing now?

Dan Miller says: They're probably pigging out in an airport food court, select location, as we speak.

Digital Dish Diva says: Dan, thanks for joining us tonight on MSN Live. Have a safe flight! Come back again!

Dan Miller says: I'd like to say Hi Mom and Dad! Thank everyone for the support, keep watching the show. And I use Crest. (laughs)
