Alrighty... I just found this. I don't know if you've seen it. It's a little confusing 'cause you don't know who is saying what but you may find it entertaining...
*expects that we'll end up redefining the game 'keep it up' after reading this interview*

YOU WERE SAYING EARLIER THAT
YOU WANT TO SEE "SPIDER-MAN" BECAUSE "SPIDER-MAN" ISN'T IN ENGLAND YET.

"SPIDER-MAN," "BATMAN," AND ANYTHING THAT'S LIKE "STAR TREK," SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
EVERYONE IS SAYING NOW WHAT A
GREAT MOVIE IT IS, SO WE CAN'T WAIT.
WE'RE REALLY EXCITED.

(Applause and screaming)

WOULD YOU LIKE TO GIVE THEM
SOMETHING AND THESE PEOPLE WATCHING?
(Cheering)
WHATEVER YOU WANT.

("MuchOnDemand" theme)
(Loud screaming and applause)
>> Rick: I DON'T KNOW, GUYS!
IT'S A MADHOUSE RIGHT HERE.
>> ABSOLUTELY MAD, MAN.
>> Rick: THIS IS NUTS.
WELL, YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THIS EVERYWHERE YOU GO.
YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THIS
REACTION?
>> YES, BUT WHEN YOU COME TO A NEW COUNTRY?AND THEY GIVE THE GUYS SUPPORT?THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
(Screaming)
>> Rick: DON'T FORGET THEM UP THERE.
THERE'S A LOT ...
>> HEY, GUYS.
>> WE SEE YOU BACK THERE.
>> Rick: NOW WE KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE FORMATION OF BLUE.
HOW DID IT ALL START?
>> WE JUST PUT OURSELVES TOGETHER REALLY BECAUSE DUNCAN AND ANTONY RUNG ME UP AND SAID, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" AND I WAS LIKE "NOTHING, REALLY."
SO SEXY SIMON WAS LIVING WITH
ME AND THEY SAID TO ME, "DO YOU WANT TO BE IN THE GROUP?"
AND SIMON JOINED AS WELL.
>> Rick: SO, LEE, LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.
THEY CALLED YOU UP.
YOU WERE JUST AT HOME TWIDDLING YOUR FINGERS, THUMBS, I GUESS, "I'M NOT REALLY DOING MUCH."
>> IT WAS IN THE KITCHEN ACTUALLY, AND I WAS UPSTAIRS.
>> Rick: IS THAT RIGHT?
WAS HE COOKING?
>> YEAH.
>> I'M ALWAYS COOKING.
>> Rick: WHAT WAS HE MAKING?
>> BEANS AND RICE.
>> PROBABLY A CURRY IN IT.
PROBABLY A CURRY OR SOMETHING.
>> Rick: FOUR LADS FROM
ENGLAND.
I KNOW YOU HAVE THE HOCKEY JERSEYS ON.
I KNOW YOU'RE SUPPORTING THE
LEAFS, BUT YOU MUST LOVE FOOTBALL, SOCCER.
WE JUST ... WE HAVE ONE WITH
US RIGHT NOW.
CAN YOU SHOW US SOME MOVES?
DO YOU WANT TO PLAY KEEP IT
UP?
WANT TO PLAY KEEP IT UP?
(Screaming)
>> Rick: SIX.
>> WHOO!
>> SORRY, MAN.
>> COME ON, SIMON!
>> Rick: TELL US ABOUT THE?
>> DO YOU WANT TO SEE A TRICK?
>> Rick: YEAH, A TRICK.
EXPLAIN THE TRICK...
AH!
NICE!
(Screaming and applause)
>> Rick: AH! NICE!
(Laughing)
UNDER PRESSURE ON LIVE
TELEVISION, LEE DOES IT! TALK ABOUT SOCCER IN YOUR LIVES.
BEFORE MUSIC, WAS THERE?
>> YEAH, I WAS ON MY WAY TO
BECOMING PRO AND I GOT KICKED
VERY HARD AND IT SORT OF LIKE
HINDERED MY PROGRESSION IN FOOTBALL AND BASICALLY THEY SAID, YOU KNOW, "YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PLAY PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL AT THE MOMENT SO I THINK YOU SHOULD DO SOMETHING ELSE."
SO BASICALLY I MET UP WITH THE GUYS AND HERE WE ARE TODAY.
>> Rick: AWESOME.
AWESOME.
THE WORLD CUP AT THE END OF
THIS MONTH IN JAPAN, WHO DO YOU LIKE?
>> FRANCE.
>> WE LIKE ENGLAND, BUT I THINK FRANCE?
>> Rick: YOU GUYS AS WELL, FRANCE?
>> I'M NOT A REALLY BIG
FOOTBALL?
>> Rick: SAY ITALY JUST FOR ME, PLEASE.
>> ITALY.
>> ITALY WAS MY FAVOURITE, BUT
THEY HAVE GONE SOUTH THESE
DAYS WITH...
>> ARE YOU ITALIAN?
>> Rick: I AM.
SI, SI.
WE'LL FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS IN EARLY JUNE.
I'M FROM HAMILTON, BY THE WAY, BUT MY PARENTS ARE ITALIAN. (Screaming)
>> Rick: LISTEN, MORE
IMPORTANT, FAITH IS ON THE PHONE.
FAITH IS FROM SUDBURY.
FAITH, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION
FOR THE GUYS?
SAY HELLO.
>> Caller: YES.
HELLO.
>> HELLO.
>> I WANTED TO KNOW WHY DID YOU GUYS CHOOSE THE NAME BLUE?
>> OH, VERY GOOD QUESTION.
WELL, WE DIDN'T WANT THE NAME
TO SPELL OUT BOY BAND, SO
SIMON ACTUALLY CAME UP WITH
THE NAME ON THE TUBE IN LONDON.
HE THOUGHT OF THE NAME BLUE
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY SAY BOY BAND.
IT'S NOT A PIGEONHOLE, ANY KIND OF CATEGORY.
IT'S THE COLOUR OF THE SKY,
COLOUR OF THE SEA, A SPIRITUAL COLOUR, AND IT ALSO HAS A NAUGHTY SIDE TO IT, WHICH IS A BIT LIKE US.
VERY GOOD QUESTION.
THANK YOU.
>> Caller: OH, YES.
AND I WANTED TO KNOW?
>> Rick: GO AHEAD, FAITH.
>> Caller: -- WHAT OTHER PEOPLE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY DO YOU LOOK UP TO?
(Loud cheering in background)
>> Rick: SAY IT ONE MORE TIME, FAITH.
KEEP IT DOWN, GUYS.
>> Caller: OKAY.
WHAT OTHER PEOPLE IN THE MUSIC
INDUSTRY DO YOU LOOK UP TO?
>> FOR ME, ROBBIE WILLIAMS, BUSTA RHYMES, LOTS OF PEOPLE.
>> I'VE ACTUALLY?I GOT TO ACTUALLY SEE BUSTA RHYMES. BUSTA RHYMES CAME TO U.K., TWO GUYS ON STAGE, HIM AND A ---
WHATEVER...
TWO GUYS ON A STAGE.
MUCH OF A SHOW FOR TWO HOURS.
THAT GUY CAN PERFORM, MAN. BUSTA RHYMES FOR ME AT THE MOMENT.
>> Rick: FAITH, THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR CALL.
THESE GUYS ARE OUT OF CONTROL
BACK HERE, PLAYING SOCCER AND EVERYTHING.
WILL YOU SETTLE DOWN?
COME ON, NOW!
>> I START PLAYING AND I START...
>> Rick: WE CAN PLAY DURING A COMMERCIAL BREAK.
RELAX.
YOU HAVE WORK TO DO NOW.
ANY REQUEST THAT YOU GUYS WANT
TO MAKE?
ANY VIDEO YOU WANT TO SEE?
>> YEAH, WE'D LIKE TO?IF
IT'S OKAY TO REQUEST
"WATERFALLS" BY T.L.C.
>> Rick: ALL RIGHT.
IT'S THE BLUE'S REQUEST:
"WATERFALLS" HERE ON
"MuchOnDemand."
(Playing video)
(Applause and cheering)
>> Jenn: BLUE IS ON "Demand." ULTIMATE MADNESS HERE TODAY IN THE ENVIRONMENT.
NOW, GUYS?
>> YEAH.
>> Jenn: I KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU.
I HAVE READ THESE MAGAZINES.
>> IT'S NOT TRUE.
>> OOH!
>> IT'S ALL LIES!
>> OOH!
>> Jenn: DO THEY MAKE THIS STUFF UP?
>> NO, IT'S ALL TRUE.
>> THIS IS ALL TRUE, MAN.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
IT'S ALL TRUE.
>> Jenn: IS THERE A QUESTION YOU HAVEN'T ANSWERED YET? THEY ASK JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING.
BUT NO, I THINK THE FANS ARE
FAMILIAR WITH THE NORTH
AMERICAN TEENIE BOPPER
MAGAZINES, BUT THE ONES IN BRITAIN, TOTALLY, TOTALLY DIFFERENT.
FAR MORE EMBARRASSING QUESTIONS.
THEY WANT TO KNOW ALL THE JUICY DETAILS.
>> INFINITE.
FROM OUR FIRST SMOKE TO THE
FIRST TIME WE WENT TO THE TOILET, STUFF LIKE THAT. IT'S TRUE.
>> Jenn: NOW YOU CALL
YOURSELVES A BOY BAND.
YOU DON'T SHY AWAY FROM THE
TERM.
>> NO.
>> Jenn: I WANT TO KNOW, BEING LABELED SUCH, WHAT STEREOTYPES DO YOU HAVE TO FIGHT?
>> WHAT STEREOTYPES?
I DON'T KNOW, REALLY.
WHAT STEREOTYPES DO YOU THINK
WE HAVE TO GET THROUGH?
>> Jenn: WHAT DO PEOPLE ASSUME ABOUT BLUE BECAUSE YOU'RE CALLED A BOY BAND?
>> WE CAN'T SING.
IF YOU'RE A BOY BAND THAT YOU
CAN'T SING; YOU MUST MIME AND STUFF, AND THAT ANNOYS US, BECAUSE WE DO SING LIVE WHEREVER WE CAN.
>> Jenn: NOW A LOT OF BRITISH BOY BANDS HAVE HAD A HARD TIME MAKING IT HERE IN NORTH AMERICA, FOR SOME REASON. THEY'RE ABSOLUTELY HUGE IN LONDON.
I MEAN THEY HAVE ALBUM SALES TO PROVE IT.
SO WHAT'S YOUR ATTITUDE COMING
INTO CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES?
>> I THINK FOR US, YOU KNOW, WE'RE JUST HAVING FUN.
WE LOVE HAVING FUN ON STAGE.
IF YOU COME TO SEE US AT A
CONCERT, WE JUST JUMP UP AND DOWN A LOT.
YOU KNOW, IF THEY ARE HAVING
FUN BACK HERE, WE'RE HAVING FUN; KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
(Screaming and applause) >> Jenn: YOUR MUSIC DEFINITELY HAS AN R&B VIBE.
I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT'S THE
R&B SCENE LIKE RIGHT NOW IN
THE U.K.?
>> IT'S GETTING BIGGER,
ACTUALLY.
OUR FIRST NUMBER ONE WAS
ACTUALLY A COVER, "TOO CLOSE," AND BACK IN BRITAIN, NO ONE WAS REALLY AWARE OF IT.
BASICALLY THE DOORS ARE JUST
OPENING NOW AND WE HAVE OUR
OWN VERSION OF RAP MUSIC,
CALLED EMCEEING, AND OUR OWN R&B, CALLED GARAGE.
THE AMERICAN TYPE OF R&B IS SLOWLY COMING THROUGH THERE.
>> Jenn: WE'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH CRAIG DAVID HERE IN NORTH AMERICA.
>> \M Oh, yeah \M \E
(Screaming)
>> Jenn: WHAT OTHER R&B
ARTISTS SHOULD WE LOOK OUT FOR?
>> BLUE.
BLUE.
(Screaming)
>> Jenn: I THINK THEY HAVE HEARD OF YOU.
>> MYSTIQUE.
>> Jenn: HAVE YOU HEARD OF MYSTIQUE?
(Screaming)
>> Jenn: THEY HAVE HEARD OF MYSTIQUE.
RICK HAS AN AUDIENCE QUESTION IN INTERACTIVE.
RICK?
>> Rick: YES, I DO.
JEN IS VERY, VERY EXCITED TO ASK YOU GUYS A QUESTION.
JEN, FIRST SAY HELLO AND THEN
ASK YOUR QUESTION.
>> HI, BLUE.
>> HI.
>> OKAY.
MY QUESTION WOULD BE: THERE
ARE SO MANY BOY BANDS OUT THERE, ESPECIALLY ONES FROM FLORIDA.
HOW DO YOU THINK YOUR SOUND
DIFFERS FROM THE MANUFACTURED BOY BANDS IN FLORIDA?
>> Rick: OH, JEN, GOOD ONE!
>> YOU THINK ABOUT THE MANUFACTURED?YOU TALK ABOUT THE BACKSTREET BOYS AND 'N SYNC... THEY'RE GOOD BANDS, BUT WE'RE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BECAUSE OF OUR SOUND AND THE WAY WE LOOK.
I MEAN NO ONE IS?IT'S JUST THE WAY WE ARE.
>> Rick: YOU OKAY WITH THAT, JEN?
>> YES, I AM.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> Rick: JEN ALSO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF SHE CAN HAVE A HUG...
SO IF YOU SAY YES SHE'LL BE COMING IN VERY SOON.
>> BRING IT ON, JEN.
>> Rick: I'M GOING TO COME DOWN AND JOIN THE PARTY AS WELL.
WHAT THE HECK.
>> Jenn: WELL, IT'S TRUTH OR DARE DAY ON "Demand."
LISTEN UP: THE BLUE BOYS HAVE A DARE FOR AN AUDIENCE MEMBER. (Screaming)
>> ARE YOU SURE?
>> WHO'S UP FOR THE CHALLENGE?
>> Rick: YOU'VE GOT?OKAY, HERE WE GO.
>> Jenn: WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
>> LES.
>> Jenn: ALL RIGHT.
>> WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
>> LESLIE.
>> I'M A PERVERT... SORRY.
>> Jenn: IT SAYS "STOP STARING AT MY TITS."
DOLLAR SIGN, DOLLAR SIGN.
>> IT'S DISGUSTING.
YOU SHOULDN'T PLAY ON THOSE WORDS.
>> Rick: LEE JUST SAID THAT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WANT TO DO THIS.
LEE, WHY ---
>> DO YOU KNOW WHAT?
'CAUSE WE WERE SITTING IN THE BACKSTAGE, JUST SITTING THERE, AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE DARE, AND YOU KNOW, I WAS THINKING LIKE THEY COULD SNIFF MY SOCKS, BUT THEN AS I TOOK THEM OFF, SOMEONE SAID, NO, SOMEONE HAS TO KISS YOUR TOE BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN RUNNING ABOUT ALL DAY, YOU KNOW, DANCING AND STUFF LIKE THAT, AND THEY'RE A BIT SWEATY.
>> ARE YOU UP FOR THE
CHALLENGE?
>> ARE YOU UP FOR IT?
>> WHATEVER.
>> Jenn: SHE IS!
(Cheering)
>> I'M EMBARRASSED TO GET MY FEET...
>> HE'S GOT A BRICK FOOT, MAN.
>> YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE HIS FEET, MAN.
>> THEY'RE PROBABLY BLACK FROM MY SOCKS.
>> Jenn: HAVE A SEAT...
>> AS LEE TAKES HIS SOCK OFF...
>> Rick: I'VE GOT LEE'S SHOES.
(Screaming)
>> Rick: WHO WANTS IT?
>> Jenn: LET ME JUST MAKE SURE THEY'RE SMELLY!
>> CAN WE CLEAN HIS FOOT FIRST?
>> Rick: THERE'S LINT ALL OVER THE PLACE, DUDE.
HOW DO YOU --- WHAT'S THAT RED
STUFF?
>> THAT'S ATHLETE'S FOOT...
>> Rick: THAT'S ATHLETE'S FOOT?
SO SHE'S GOING TO KISS
ATHLETE'S FOOT?
WHAT ELSE YOU GOT THERE?
YOU GOT SOME CORN ON THERE...
ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?
>> YEAH, SURE.
WHY NOT?
>> Rick: HE'S THROWING IN HIS SHIRT IN AS WELL IF YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH THIS.
>> MAN KILLER!
>> CAN YOU LIFT IT UP?
>> Rick: LIFT IT UP?
>> GO, GO, GO!
>> OH!
(Applause)
>> Rick: CONGRATULATIONS.
>> DID YOU SEE THE LOOK ON HIS FACE?
>> IT'S ONLY MAKEUP, BY THE WAY.
>> WE PUT MAKEUP ON HIS FOOT.
>> Rick: HOW DID THAT TASTE, BY THE WAY?
>> OH GREAT, GREAT.
>> Rick: WHO ELSE WANTS TO KISS IT?
(Screaming)
>> Rick: NO, WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THAT.
WE JUST DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THAT.
LOOK AT THIS GUY.
>> Jenn: YOU'RE A GREAT SPORT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PLAYING
TRUTH OR DARE ON "Demand." RIGHT NOW WE HAVE THE CANADIAN PREMIERE OF A NEW VIDEO.
GUYS, DO YOU WANT TO SET THIS
UP?
IT'S "FLY BY."
>> IT'S THE NEW VIDEO JUST BEING RELEASED NEXT AFTER "ALL RISE."
THIS ONE IS CALLED...
>> \M System up with the top down... \M \E
>> ..."FLY BY!"
>> Rick: WE HAVE TO SAY
GOODBYE TO BLUE.
GUYS, THANKS FOR COMING BY.
THIS IS "FLY BY."
THAT WAS BLUE.
THANKS, GUYS.
NICE MEETING YOU GUYS.
TAKE CARE.
SAFE TRAVELS.
