Ironically, this natural talent wasn't really into music growing up. "I loved singing myself, but wasn't a huge fan of music," she explains. Instead, her passion was dancing and acting. Almost immediately after starting dance lessons at age 3, she was doing commercials and strutting her stuff in music videos. "Performing gives me a rush," she says. "It creates this huge amount of energy." Brittany took up singing lessons at age 5, and a year later landed a part in the A Country Christmas at the star-launching theme park Opryland USA, where she affectionately became know as "Injury Girl." "Something happened to me during almost every show," she laughs. "I fell in the pit, got hit by balls on stage, got knocked off a barrel I was standing on-you name it." Believe it or not, she's not embarrassed about any of it. Ask her group-mates and they'll tell you this energetic entertainer is the member most likely to make a scene. "She will do anything to get attention," Libby laughs. "And she's not embarrassed by anything
Talk about a quick study. Brittany Hargest took up singing and dance lessons at the tender age of two, and almost immediately began appearing in commercials and music videos. Like her group mates, Brittany studied voice, piano, guitar, gymnastics, and dance, becoming in time a seasoned stage presence. "Performing gives me a rush," she says. "It creates this huge amount of energy." Being in Jump5 has meant dealing with the whirlwind of success, but it's been made easier for Brittany because of the closeness the group members share. "We work together well," she notes, "because we've known each other forever." As for having a brother in the group, she says, " I get to have part of my family traveling around with me. But Brandon isn't overprotective." Brittany enjoys other pursuits beyond music, including fashion design and interior decorating. But her main message to kids is remarkably sophisticated for a 14-year-old: "As a kid, don't take life for granted," she says. "Have fun with every moment of your life. Don't take things too seriously. And always be yourself."
She's the youngest and the smallest of the group, but don't let that fool you. Brittany Hargest, 15, can take whatever her fellow J5'ers can dish out. And it's no wonder. She's been showing the world what she can do since the age of two, studying voice, piano, guitar, dance and gymnastics. And today, due to her hard work and determination, she is an incredible, passionate performing artist. The one thing she hasn't managed yet-thankfully-is a diva attitude. There's not an ounce of prima Dona in her. "I'm so normal, it's scary," she says. "I have a mouth full of braces-the clear kind, though, so it's not too bad-I love to shop, and I do chores. I clean toilets!" She also has a dog, Jumper, "who makes me very happy," and a very vocal desire to tour internationally. "France, anyone?"

Brittany Brittany- From Britain (English) Your name Brittany has given you tenacity of purpose and has made you extremely independent. Whatever you undertake, you approach from your own point of view, and others either have to conform to your ideas or go their own way and leave you to work things out for yourself. You are so narrowly focused in your pursuits that you frequently overlook the little personal considerations and attentions that create a bond of understanding and sense of companionship. Thus it is difficult for you to merge your efforts harmoniously with others. In the home, you can inadvertently be offhand and abrupt when you would really like to show your affection. In circumstances that require a little finesse, you find that you are inclined to be too direct and straight to the point and suffer frustration in your personal relationships as a result. Tension could affect the eyes, ears, teeth, or sinuses. Frequent head colds or severe headaches are potential problems.
