Each week you get a chance to get to learn something about one of the artists. You get a chance to see our family, you get a chance to see us interact with each other. For me you get a chance to see that I’m goofy, you get a chance to see what makes me tick. You get a chance to see the sacrifices that I’ve made and allow me to kind of tell my side of the story to some things.
