Seventeen: Welcome to "Backstage" with macys.com and Seventeen. Today's chat will feature a conversation with the guys from singing sensation Plus One (Jason, Nate, Gabe, Jeremy and Nathan), as well as the opportunity to ask Seventeen's editor Melissa Marks about fashion tips and other hot trends coming out this fall. Welcome Plus One and Melissa!

Gabe: Hey! How is everybody doing? Thanks for joining us tonight. We hope you have a good time. We are on a beach at a pay phone and we hope you are ready to chat.

Melissa: I am so excited to be chatting with Plus One for this Macy's online chat.

JLTx2000: How did you get the name of Plus One?

Nate: It's a constant reminder that we are never alone. It's us, plus God.

HeatherPlusOnePlanet: How does it feel to have one of the best selling Christian albums of the year?

Jason: It feels like a dream come true.

Jeremy: We feel blessed.

Nate: It doesn't feel real.

Gabe: It's exciting!

Johnboy: Are you guys happy that not only do teens like you, but people of every age?

Jeremy: It's a cool thing that our music affects all generations. All different ages.

Tini Tran: Hi, +1! I saw you in Houston for that one brown bag and can't wait to see you again in October! Ya'll are awesome! I just wanted to know how you cope with all the pressure from being famous. ('cuz you are famous now).

Gabe: We really don't feel famous yet. We just try to stay normal by joking around and keeping us accountable.

Jason: We have a long way to go.

Jeremy: We have a lot more to accomplish as a band.

Telly: I haven't been able to find your video. When will we be able to buy it?

Gabe: It's not for sale yet, but look for it in Christian bookstores coming soon. For right now, you can download it from our website at www.plusoneonline.com

Red: What do you do to keep yourself grounded and normal?

Nate: We keep in contact with our families and our friends. We like to do normal things like go to movies, read our Bibles, and pray and go to church as often as we can.

Jason: We keep each other humble and make fun of each other a lot, which keeps us grounded.
