Ben is still really funny and adorable, as a Liam fan it kills me to now know his voice has broken but the young boys im sure will take on his role.

Also seemed there was about 3-4 new boys but with Liam and Joshs voice broken and even Mini Bens voice deepening im guessing the more younger boys the better

PS nice to see them all so playful and happy

Now that you mention it...I do think he had faint resemblance to Michael H. Mostly in the way he smiled and then laughed. And when Mini-James and James T. are sitting with another new boy, it has been mentioned that he looks a bit like a young Callum Payne.

You sir have a sharp eye!. He does look similar.

It's interesting for me to see a black (i dunno if it's alright to say it as that, sorry in advance) child in the group, i hope he will be featured in some vids or performances.

I don't know why it would not be correct to say a "black child," since that's clearly what he is. There are indeed those in the US who would complain that it's not polite (or worse) and that the proper term is "African-American," but that gets to be very, very confusing at the least when applied to people who are not American.

I'm reminded of an interview I heard about between an American journalist and a certain British black man (who it was, I unfortunately don't recall). The journalist started out a question something like "As an African-American, what do you think about...."

The man interrupted and explained that he was a British citizen, but neither an American nor an African. The journalist then tried to rephrase the question: "OK, as a British African-American, what do you think about...."

The poor fellow tried to explain again that he was simply British, not African, and not American. I guess he may have eventually given up on such finer matters of nationality, citizenship, etc. and tried to answer the question.

I know right. I was surprised how deep Liam's voice has become. All the same, I still love Libera.

I remember early years that Tom looks a liitle bit black when he was smaller.

But now they've got a really bl..ck kid! woooow... watta great international kids group called Libera

dani · Post by **dani** » 14 years ago

The black kid was seen as early as Jan 2009 as he was in the songs of praise speciel as i asked about him back then, then add into the fact that was filmed about 3-4 months before it aired them new boys have probabley been part of Libera for nearly 2 years, just we have yet to seen them perform as Libera.

He is probably only performing in church at the moment.

Speaking of Christmas.. Will Libera be featured on Christmas Cooks this year? I was quite disappointed when I didn't see them perform last year!

Probably would have heard about it now to be honest with you. The program is listed as being on, but no mention of any performances. Probably just a 2yr thing.

Thankfully one of those performances gave us one of the most perfect rendition of 'Silent Night' I have ever seen/heard. Tom was pitch perfect and magnificent as he always was.
