"I wanted to go all out! I know she like Boyz II Men and I knew my dad was going to be out of town with them, so I decided to have them say something to her,'' said Jalen Doggett.

Jalen's dad, Craig says, "He was just like, 'Dad do you think they can help me out?'"

Craig is related to Nathan Morris and is the personal barber for the group.

"They were like no problem, and right before they went on stage, they were right quick--5 minutes," he said.

"I really thank them for this, it really, really means a lot," said Jalen.
