Question
Hi jimmy,this is john cleary here from ireland,how`s it going?I have about 2 questions,and woud possibly need a good awnser.1..are the BsBoys coming to germany for a few conserts?It would be great to see them again LIVE on stage,because they really are the best boyband in the world.
2.I have aurgent idea that if it would be possible to have the permission from...jive,zomba records and sony BMG to be able to sing a song from the Boys,and to bring it out as a single?It`s one of their songs,that hasen`t been brought out as a single,the song is Sybiria,The song is on the Never gone album.I mean i dont want the Credits,just to sing it,make a music clip from the song!I think the song is awsome,it`s one of those songs,that "clicks"in my head if i hear it the first time.so if you could possible get back to me assap,that would be great!

Answer
hey,as for the question on them touring Germany that may happen,they have a new album coming out soon and then they will tour but have no set plans as of now...For your second question,yes it is possible to release one of there songs that you would sing and record,that you would have to submit proper paper work to the US Supreme Court Copywrite office in Washington D.C. at that point the courts would check their files and check with the writer of the song and record company to make sure that song is available to be re-done,because some songs are not it will depend on if the lyricist who wrote the song wants to let other people record it or not.If the song can be re-done by you the coppywrite office will let you know and then you will pay a percent royalty to the record company and lyricist for the song and you will as well be charged a certain amount of money that they will decide for each copy of the song that you not sell but make as in how many copys of the cd you have made. The address for the copywrite office is on the internet google search it,and there on their web site you will find all the information that you will need to make this project of yours happen.Thanks for the question, good luck with your idea,and please if you can let me know how it turns out and if you are able to re-do the song..Thank you, Jimmy-
