The audience was filled with fluttering hearts who were eagerly awaiting to welcome Oprah’s multiple teen heartthrob guests who made the ladies scream again as they stepped on the stage to share a bit about their lives before performing some of their greatest hits.

Oprah, who had been crushing on JJ since the age of 13, could not believe her eyes and ears and was stunned momentarily. They chatted over a hearty lunch that lasted for two hours and Oprah asked Jackie some intriguing questions as well as confessed her love for him.
