When and how did you learn to use the internet?
I can't really remember, we always had a computer around the house, and when the craze of the internet took off, we just ended up getting a dial-up connection on the computer upstairs in our house.
I started off with e-mail, and it was all go from there really. Initially all we used it for was Yahoo e-mail.
I think at the time, for me e-mail was just an extension of Word, except that other people could reply to it.
Then I started to use search engines and things like that.
What would you say your main activities are online?
I can honestly say I use e-mail loads. I've got in contact with friends that I haven't seen for a while, or who go away.
I've got a friend in China at the moment and an ex-girlfriend who is in South America.
I'm now taking it to the next level and MSN is an important tool for easy contact, as I can contact friends and family around the world instantly.
Messenger is also handy as it's connected to Hotmail which I also use for e-mailing. I love the fact that with you can move so much information around so quickly and easily.
The other day my friend sent me a video that he took of himself on the Great Wall of China via a screen in MSN.
It was the first time, I had experienced that and it was a bit weird, but brilliant, because I haven't see him for a bit. The power of the internet!
I've got a 'Tom Tom' satellite navigation system for my car, and a Road Angel which detects speed cameras. I regularly use the internet to upload new information if any roads have changed.
I use streetmap, when I'm trying to find my way around London, and I need to get the tube or jump in a cab.
I print off a sheet with the map on it, and I'm, good to go. Use that quite a lot actually.
Sadly I go our G4 website regularly, to make sure that they've uploaded things correctly and that everything is up to date.
I also read the forums, which are interesting, because then we get to find out what fans think of a performance that we've done - or if we've done a new song, to find whether they think it works or not.
We find it a really useful source - it helps us to make decisions.
Do you ever use the internet for work?
Yeah, all the time. I get work e-mails, graphics, demo tracks, and links to our music videos so that we can see them in production and give feedback.
It's great, because we used to have to go into the office to do everything, but then people worked out that you could do everything via our e-mail accounts.
Do you ever use the internet for news?
I have to confess I'm really bored by the news most of the time, even on TV. In fact when the news comes on I'll go and do something else rather than sit and listen to it.
However, last year my brother was in Florida during the hurricanes, I used the internet to track the hurricane on Fox News and CNN, and looked at local news coverage of storm.
I suppose unless it is directly relevant to me I'm not interested. I think I use it more for pleasure and business.
Do you use the internet for shopping or travel?
I recently went on a booze cruise to France and I booked my ferry ticket online with, P&O ferries I also booked my hotel the Formula One, they're really cheap versions of a Travel Inn.
They're about £10 a night. It's worth it to have a bed for the night. Worth it for the purposes.
Shopping.. well I couldn't survive without Interflora, it's great for last minute presents, for my mum and ex-girlfriends.
You always panic before a birthday or Valentines day, and it's easier to just get online, and they do fab bunches.
I have to say eBay, which I've used a few times to buy really random stuff really. I just love flicking through and seeing what's available. I've even sold a few things as well.
I used the John Lewis website recently for my cousins wedding list, which was great and really easy to use.
I'm also a bit off at Topman fan, as they have some funky things, and they're quite cheap. I'll head to Selfridges if I'm feeling flush.
If you had a friend using the internet for the first time which site would you suggest they use?
If it was the first time, I would suggest they used e-mail really, just to understand what the internet is about.
The concept of people communicating via a screen, all around the world is quite surreal.
I remember my grandma had never used the internet, we got her to e-mail her cousins from South America.
She hadn't really used a computer keyboard before and she typed as if she was still using a typewriter, all the words were really elongated because she didn't take her finger off the keys.
We left it like that, because it looked very cute. She couldn't really comprehend it when the reply came straight back.
So I would definitely recommend something like Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, one of the e-mail providers as a first step.
What do you think about looking for love online?
Maybe before any of this craziness of the group kicked off. I think the clever thing about it is you get to know someone through their personality, or the personality that they express, which is I suppose the worry.
There are a lot of people who have found happiness and long term relationships through it.
Most people tend to go out on the pull at say, a night club, where you can't hear what people are saying and then you end up meeting up none the wiser, so I don't think it can be any worse than that.
What's your favourite site.
Definitely eBay. It's got everything on it and it's addictive.
What are G4 up to at the moment?
We have been promoting the second album.
It's kind of similar to the first album in it's diversity, it's all covers apart from one new track which is slightly more contemporary, it's a bit boybandy, but it's not, because it's us.
There's all kinds of mixtures with the operatic and the contemporary stuff. We've done a collaboration with Lesley Garret on 'Barcelona', Cliff Richard, and Robin Gibb have also worked with us.
It was amazing to work with all of them. The experience of watching them work in a studio was incredible.
We've also been lucky that both Leslie and Robin performed live with us during our tour at the Albert Hall. It was a fantastic surprise for our audience.
For memory's sake we've captured that performance and other parts of our tour on DVD. There's a documentary style behind the scenes bit as well, which has some funny footage.
We're touring again in May. For the future I see us gradually evolving. Being a cover group means that people can instantly identify with who we are and what we're trying to do.
I think we'll always have some covers on our albums, making them unique, but we're looking forward to writing more of our own stuff.
This must have been the craziest year for you? What a difference a year makes.
We watch the show every week. It's so much fun, but a bit weird. The first week of the live shows we went along.
It was odd, especially when the music kicked in and you could see the judges sitting in front of you. It was crazy déjà vu.
I can really see us in the performances now, so desperate to do well, but so nervous at the same time.
Looking back some of our performances were atrocious because we were so nervous. I think the audience found it a bit strange that we were there.
I think the whole process for us how unpredictable the music business is, nothing is a sure thing.
The X Factor is a guaranteed way to get spotted by the industry, but after that anything can happen, and hopefully you'll get the exposure to make your dream come true.
There is a bit of stigma attached to winning a TV music talent show, the public feel that you haven't really earned your place, which I think is strange.
