I always thought they're an amazing combo, not to mention the off-the-charts cuteness factor!dani wrote: Haha you know me so well . I really liked love abd mercy tonight as it worked with freddie and mini james and i think
Fact denotes that as far as choral groups with all-boy members between the ages of 8-16, they are one of the most famous and well known within their field of expertise. They have been going for over 25 years in one form or another. Although no true figure in known, it is widely believed they have overall record sales over 500,000+, they have appeared in many Television programs, and sold out concerts in many parts of the world.printen wrote:I got the feeling that the members of this forum think that Libera is a world famous boys choir or boys band.
In fact it is not.
Only recently they made a debut tour to the Philippines and the response was huge. Sold out concerts, some over a few thousand, and their albums topping the mainstream charts. Documented by unbiased observers such as this http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleid=546853" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Pretty decent going for a boys choir that you think is not that popular, or not as popular as you suggest we believe them to be.Now, 2009 gave us the Libera Boys Choir through the efforts of the Arts Council of Cebu. I had a good idea of how big a deal they are in the classical concert circuit, but I realized the magnitude of their presence when some fans from Japan and from some Southeast Asian countries came flying to Cebu to just watch them perform. Much to the surprise of the more senior attendees, the talented and charming British youngsters also wielded a sort of Jonas Brothers effect as tweens in the audience broke into squeals song after song
The key point being made is that nobody is trying to compare them to the global fan base Gaga woman, or beiber boy would get (I'm not sure we would want to) but in their line of music and style of delivery - they are extremely popular, uniquely presented and highly creditable.printen wrote:Dont get me wrong, I am a fan of Libera, I like the music they produce and every day I play that miusic. But I am not blinded by the fact the Libera is placed in the classical corner of music and in a special corner of that misuc.
Aren't many online platforms relating to commercially successful artists setup by dedicated followers? Not sure the point you are trying to make here.printen wrote:There are many websites, forums, video's of Libera on the internet, but all of hem are set up bij dedicated followers of Libera.
Yep, I’m standing on solid ground with that point, and I think most of us are under no false pretence that Libera are a multi-platinum selling, world wide super group phenomenon. However most of us quite content in the progress they have made over the years, and their continued pledge to spread Libera's music to an ever expanding geographical fan base.printen wrote:There is nothing wrong with the fact that we are vivid fans of Libera, but let we stand with our two feet firmly on the ground. Libera is a special boys band, with special music, with a special sound and with a small number, worlwide seen, of fans and followers.
