I just thought that I would post an update on the AOL Breakers voting for the "Southern Comfort" category, which features B5. B5's total has come back to earth a bit, but they still hold a commanding lead with 66% of the vote. Hurricane Chris has 21% with Plies picking up the rear, with 13%.
Update: We are now closed to questions. Thank you!
Although it's not a given, it's very possible that I'll be sitting down for an interview with B5 in the near future. So, in preparation for that, I wanted to put out a call to you to see if you had any questions for them. Please let me know in the comments section and suggest as many as you would like. If you'd like me to ask a specific member of the group a certain question, please specify who.
I appreciate any suggestions and I will take all of your question ideas into consideration for the actual interview, assuming it happens. If you suggest a question that I can ask - I'll ask it! Thanks.

Watch it here. Watch a supposed rough draft with some differences below.
I just finished watching Access Granted. Just some random thoughts, details and reaction...
I like the video. I'd say it's my favorite B5 video thus far, actually. It centers around a mock B5 dance rehearsal in an industrial area with cut scenes of them singing and dancing in front of cars, with ladies, with Bow Wow and in computer generated scenes/backgrounds. Bow Wow does his verses similarly - mostly either with B5 or around/in a car with a girl. Yung Joc had a quick cameo in it, as well.
Kevin Wales talked about how he discovered B5 and how they reminded him of New Edition, the Jackson 5 and ABC. He called Diddy his "go to guy" - whenever he gets something he thinks is hot, he goes to Diddy. Diddy fell in love with B5 and they were signed. According to Bow Wow, Diddy called him up to do the track, saying that they needed him on the record.
I was just sent the official tracklisting for "Don't Talk, Just Listen" and I wanted to go ahead and confirm that it is the same one that I outlined previously based on a previous review. That is:
1. No One Else
2. Hydrolics featuring Bow Wow and Diddy
3. Incredible
4. In My Bedroom
5. Got It Like That
6. Right 2 Left
7. Things I Do For My Girl
8. What It Do
9. Drama
10. Erika Cain
11. Tear Drops
12. Rock Star
B5 manager Jim McMahan dropped this bomb in the B5 forums:
B5's access granted is thurs july 5th as we are told by the label !! B5 should be on 106 & park next week to deliver their "Hydrolic" video and we need all of you to vote to make it #1!!!! We had a 40+ city tour with Aly & Aj scheduled for the summer and the label insisted that B5 do the "Scream Tour"! we passed on aly & aj's tour and now are told that "TI" has decided B5 shouldnt be on the tour. We dont agree but its not our decision. So at this point B5 has no schedule yet! I will let you know soon on what the schedule will be! Probably aug-sept promo tour.
It's a shame that happened as it'll make it harder to promote their album. But, that's how it works sometimes, I guess. If "Hydrolics" is a hit, though - they shouldn't have a problem setting up a new tour.
BET's schedule shows that B5 will be on Access Granted on July 5 at 8:00 PM.
Via Socca.
B5 will be featured in the next round of AOL Breakers. Voting will begin on July 15.
