you can really see how mature they are right now, how their opinions and styles have changed for the better! I have been a fan of these boys since 2011, and I really do love everything they are putting into big time rush's new era. It makes me feel proud and happy to see that they never stopped thinking of their Rushers and all the love we have for them

Actually if I remember correctly, in the later seasons like James said, if they were going on tour in real life, there were times they would go on tour on the show at around the exact same time.

[@ashleyb.5316]

First off, Zach, huge respect for bringing up Epic. That is a banger that deserves more airplay and the guys NEED to do it again. Second, I love your interviews and how casual and down-to-earth they are. You and the guys go way back, which is super fun to witness. And wow, I've never heard them talk about Nick/Sony this openly. I'm so shocked to hear that the execs threatened to fire them enough that when James mentioned it, they all laughed. I had a blast watching this and feeling like I was just hanging out with the guys!!!

I went to the show in Cincinnati. It was my first concert ever after wanting to see them since I was 7 and watching videos on KZbin until then and they did NOT disappoint! They consistently made sure that everyone was safe and having a good time and I was actually surprised by just how many of their songs that they played, for some reason. You can tell that they really put in the work and it’s amazing.

[@SSoulDiamond]

It's so interesting to see them together again, how they matured individually and as a group. Which is what I think makes their music and band so good. They all bring in their own individual likes and tastes and instead if fighting over it they compromise and the group just makes it mesh together. Just a group of people put together and making it work, eventually being super good friends.

As much as I love the show and would love to see it come back, I definitely agree that it has to be the right show at the right time and definitely a more mature version. I would definitely hate to see them lose credibility as a band now if they went back to Nickelodeon. You can tell now that they’re more mature as singers and people and that they love what they do. If they decide to just stick with making music and just being a band, I’d be more than okay with that.
