I want to share this link to a Libera survey that Inna made. It is short, but it can help Libera out a lot. We can also find out how we can recruit new fans.<br />
<br />

Oh it's been sooo long and I've missed being able to get on all my favorite blogs. Life without a laptop is like Libera without Josh. Ouch. <br />
<br />
Well, it seems that I've missed quite a bit, but I am ready to catch up.<br />
<br />
Firstly, Libera made two new music videos. The first is Carol of the Bells and the second is O Holy Night.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/YVGKfDoANRA?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>and...<br />

I like the simplicity! I can understand that Libera might have not had as much money to make these super extravagant, but I think I like them as they are. They are humble, yet outstand anything they have ever done before. I wouldn't worry. I just hope they got enough Christmas Album profits. <br />
I hope they do other music videos too. This album is my favorite so far.<br />
<br />
Another video:<br />
<br />
Still, Still, Still<br />

I was glad to see Josh :) I hope he will stay this year, too. <br />
Mr. Prizeman is continually pulling another little boy into the choir. I was a little overwhelmed by all the faces I couldn't match names to. Oh well. In time, I hope, I can recognize them all.<br />
<br />
A very Happy Birthday goes out to Joe Snelling today on his birthday, December 6! We all miss you in Libera, Joe! Come back to see us sometime!<br />
<br />
One last thing for today. Libera will be going on a tour this coming spring!<br />
<br />
<em>Our next tour will be in the Spring of 2012, when we plan to visit Japan and Singapore. Japan is well known to us of course and we look forward to renewing friendships with our Japanese friends. Singapore is a new country for us and we are are very excited to be able to visit there. We are working on a busy schedule of private and public events, including two performances on Saturday 7th April at the </em><a href="http://www.esplanade.com/"><strong><span style="color: #0077cc;"><em>Esplanade Theatre in Singapore</em></span></strong></a><em> and performances in the </em><a href="http://www.bunkamura.co.jp/english/index.html"><strong><span style="color: #0077cc;"><em>Bunkamura Theatre in Tokyo</em></span></strong></a><em> on Friday 13th and Saturday 14th April.</em> <br />
<br />
Oooooh! Singapore! That is quite a different country, I must say. But, then again, Libera is on a newbie streak so I'm excited to hear more about this one. There will be so many new fans after this!<br />
<br />
I want to leave you with a memory of something:<br />

Thank the Lord for androids. I can't get on as fast as I would like and I can't paste pictures, but it will do.</p>
<p>There are lots of birthdays this month in Libera, so I decided to split it up. It's easier to read that way.</p>
<p><b>Kavana Crossley- December 1</b><br>
I want to give a huge shout out to Kavana today because it's his birthday. He has a tremendous amount of potential and a fantastically beautiful singing voice on the side. Thank you, Kavana! We look forward to your continuing years.</p>
<p><b>Liam Connery- December 4</b></p>
<p>I've always admired Liam in a special way. Maybe because he's a ginger? That might be part of it. But I really think the solos he had long ago were very special and nothing like all the other voices. Liam has that true angel-like quality in his voice that allows you to hear more than just one note. With Liam, I can almost hear an entire choir in his voice alone. That's really special. And he has this fun personality that just shines through. Not to mention his consistency in the choir. I don't think he's missed a single concert. Liam, good job. Don't leave yet, please!</p>
<p><b>Joseph Snelling- December 6</b></p>
<p>Joe is better known to me as the guy who did amazingly good on Salva Me in 2005. He was probably one of the more sophisticated people in Libera, and you could tell just by the way he talked. Thanks for all your songs, Joe. You won't be forgotten, trust me.</p>
<p><b>Carlos Rodriguez</b><b>- December 8</b></p>
<p>Let's face it. Carlos is just cute. Every year, as the boys grow in height and lose some of their mini-adorabubble factor. Carlos is an exeption. He is cute every year! I smile when I see him because he doesn't talk as much as some of the others do and its just nice to know that he is still there. Happy early birthday, Carlos. Dont stop being so cute!</p>
<p><b>James Mordaunt</b><b>- December 9</b></p>
<p>Oh, Mini James. I thought you were lost to us. Until you had your solo on the Christmas Album. That was a relief. <br>
Well, I think James has matured quite a bit in these past months. And though I don't know for a fact, he has started to change into a bigger, older, deeper voiced Mini James. I'll miss him when he's gone. But for now, I adore your singing, James!</p>
<p>End of Part 1. Next part will be put up tomorrow.</p>

Wow that was a narrow catch. I have to thank you for pointing out my mistake! I cant believe I didnt catch that. Well, there are more musically inclined people out there :) thank you! If anyone else finds an error in a blog, notify me IMMEDIATELY!! I hate to be untruthful. Thank you!
I am back again and ready to post. Actually, I wasn't really sure of what to say because I had to take my time to process the beautiful music before I spewed anything out. <br />
<br />
Oh by the way before we begin, I want to give a shout-out to Lexi and her unbelievably up-to-date blog. Thank you!<br />
<br />
Shall we start?<br />
<br />
<strong>Joy to the World:</strong><br />
<br />
This one was a success! Mr. Prizeman must have worked with the boys for a while on this because the arrangament is somewhat difficult. I'm glad that Libera gave this one out for free because it was great and it didn't give away the rest of the album.<br />
<br />
<strong>Still, Still, Still:</strong><br />
<br />
I think this song represents true peace. My heart soared with Ralph on his solo. I had no idea how much he developed. I was amzed.<br />
Libera did superbly. I was in Heaven in an instant.<br />
<br />
<strong>Carol of the Bells:</strong><br />
This must be the most perfect, powerful song Libera has done in quite a while. The piece is so difficult to master, I can only imagine how much work they put into it. The chords are crazy hard. I was soooo pleased. It was like Libera jerked me awake.<br />
<br />
<strong>Veni, Veni Emmanuel:</strong><br />
<br />
The opening chords of this song are so mysterious, it's like walking into an enormous black space with no floor. And the breathtaking entrance of Daniel Fontannaz brings a very dim light into the darkness. By the end of the song, the light is so dazzling, you are blinded. This is my interpretation. I was in a different world. And Daniel made it so powerful, yet mellow at the same time. You can feel the pain of Israel in your blood. No other song did that to me.<br />
<br />
<strong>Once in Royal David's City:</strong><br />
<br />
This one brought me down from the Daniel clouds. The melody is so simple, it's kind of weird. I was very proud of Eoghan. He has such holiness in his voice. Sounds like God sent a message to us and it's so amazingly clear and reverent. Eoghan, nice job!<br />
<br />
<strong>O Holy Night:</strong><br />
<br />
Ralph knows how to deliver the perfect song. I was expecting this really strong version of O Holy Night, but to my surprise, it was really mellow. I never heard it that way before. Ralph's voice is like his personality: sweet, lovely, with a subtle edge. One minor complaint. It was just a tad long the first time I listened to it. It felt better the next, though. Either way, it was great.<br />
<br />
<strong>White Christmas:</strong><br />
<br /> hY
I fell in love with Stefan's voice all over again. He has just mastered the arts. I can't even really describe what he sounds like. The closest I can get is probably a sparkling crystal. Or icy water. Or blue eyes. Just like him.<br />
White Christmas kind of broke the streak of typical church christmas music and added a little jingle to the mix. Overall, I loved it. <br />
<br />
<strong>Corpus Christi Carol:</strong><br />
<br />
I was a little confused by this song. It didn't seem to make any sense at first, but after listening for a while, it got a little clearer. I somehow feel like it is like Jesus's death in a different perspective and gives a little meaning of what Jesus came to earth for on Christmas. I'm still figuring it out, but that's what I like about this song. It will keep me guessing for a while.<br />
I'm glad to see James Mordaunt had a partial-solo in this song. His voice is so soft like a pillow. He and Ralph sounded really great.<br />
<br />
<strong>In Dulci Jubilo:</strong><br />
<br />
This is my personal favorite out of the whole CD. It has that Irish-like spice to it. Completely different than the one before it. I'm happy no one did any solos for it because it was a really great group song. I was excited.<br />
If you pay attention to the last chords, the boys hit<strong> </strong><em>the highest note I have ever heard in my entire life.</em> I was shocked to the highest extent. Well, Air on the G String with Tom Cully was higher, but that was amazing. These little ones have so much potential its unbelievable.<br />
<br />
<strong>Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas:</strong><br />
<br />
It was fairly familiar from the Peace Deluxe album, but I still liked it. My favorite thing is that it brings that family-getting-together-on-Christmas feeling back.<br />
<br />
<strong>Sing the Story:</strong><br />
<br />
I was so glad that they brought this one back. It's that old-fashioned carol that Libera sang back in the day, but they refreshed it somehow. Maybe it's the new technology. The thing is that people like Stephen and Big Ben sang this a long time ago, and they probably had good ideas of how the little ones could work on it. The song was a success again. And besides, I got a little glimpse of Luke Collins. His voice is so dark which is probably why he didn't get a solo before. Most of the soloists have shrill, high voices that stand out. I like the way he sang it. <br />
<br />
<strong>Coventry Carol:</strong><br />
<br />
The truth is, guys, that I had been anticipating this song the entire way through. To hear Josh sing a solo once again was like a dream come true. My entire living being was tensed up waiting for it.<br />
The sound was unimaginable. I thought I was dreaming. Oh God is all I said the entire time. Joshua Madine just hit the best part of his musical career on his life. His voice was darker than dark chocolate, richer than any mocha, softer than any cloud. I cannot describe his voice. It's impossible. The song itself is so sad. It's basically talking about mothers losing their children when Herod's armies destroyed them on Christmas night. Josh made it so that we can feel the grief to the deepest pit of our hearts. But, somehow, he delivered a light. A hope that probably not anyone felt on that night. The hope that those children might be saved by the one Child that did escape. I doubt that Robert Prizeman could have chosen a better song for Josh. And Stefan and Ralph made the song beyond describable. That's all I have to say.<br />
<br />
<strong>The First Nowell:</strong><br />
<br />
Nothing could have woken me up from the Josh-dreamy state that I was in. Except Freddie. His perfect voice broke through every wall. He is the sun that melts the fog. Freddie's solo was so absolutely perfect, I was stunned again. The whole song was really warming. I was very very pleased.<br />
<br />
<strong>Jubilate Deo:</strong><br />
<br />
Libera is like Santa Claus. They know exactly what songs you like and they will get them to you. That's how it was with me ant Jubilate Deo. Out of all the older songs, this one was my favorite. I always hoped that Libera might do it again. And they did.<br />
Again, Big Ben and everybody else must have been a real help to make this song sound better. I loved it so much. The strength is almost overwhelming.<br />
<br />
<strong>While Shepherds Watched:</strong><br />
<br />
I am helping the kids choir learn this song at my church, and it is a good reference to turn to. It's simple and childish, and it works great. I bet Josh and Liam and all the older boys must have had memories from last time. And the newbies went really high again.<br />
<br />
<strong>Lullabye:</strong><br />
<br />
I was happy that Libera made this song a part of the album. Some people never got a chance to hear it because they bought the normal Peace. It brought back good memories. I learned this song on the piano too. It was a smart move to end with a Josh Madine solo. It just made the album better.Liberaholichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05255994127743376425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272511227715545057.post-23635175638352939672011-11-13T14:30:00.000-08:002011-11-13T14:30:12.488-08:00Eternal Light Music VideoI just want to say I'm sorry for not being able to put this one up.

I first found this video on your blog and I was a bit anxious to put it on mine because I felt like I would be plagarising, but then I saw it on the Official Libera website and I just said ok I think i can put it up now.<br />
<br />

Yay! I think they're all so cute its hard to keep from squealing a little bit.<br />
<br />
I don't know what it is, but Ralph is such a joyful person I don't know if there's anyone else like him. He and Kavana make me smile a lot. They always appear together. They must be best friends.<br />
<br />
And Josh. Wow. He didn't say anything. Nor did he have to. His presence was just felt.<br />
Liam, too. I was so happy to see Liam. He's just been gone, but not really gone. I was so excited to see him. <br />
<br />

<br />
White Christmas took me into heaven. I was holding my breath the entire time. And when Stefan sang his solo, I thought I would die. He has developed so much since the Peace album and to hear him sing White Christmas was bliss. That last note he did was so pure that I can't even explain how perfect it was. It was absolutely, irresistibly perfect.<br />
<br />
Joy to the World was a treat. I downloaded it from before, so it wasn't as surprising as White Christmas. But still. Everyone is right when they say that Libera sounds better in person. You can hear all the individual swells and emotions in their voices when they're not in the studio.<br />
<br />
This was so magical. It made my entire day.Liberaholichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05255994127743376425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272511227715545057.post-74599657623437380632011-11-07T18:04:00.000-08:002011-11-07T18:04:20.778-08:00My New T-Shirt<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC0cSrALMfRUBp4iqTn5pflCEKfHrPSZsXfrrb8yQ_AzQc0NMIK3eAA7ui601E-E-OFnoMdomVyCRb8rgKRF1llwdjl-uSNpfSD9njh8pvUnrNMfMuQhVL_TxRmVHUVVOYvL6a3R8An7VK/s1600/IMAG0424.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC0cSrALMfRUBp4iqTn5pflCEKfHrPSZsXfrrb8yQ_AzQc0NMIK3eAA7ui601E-E-OFnoMdomVyCRb8rgKRF1llwdjl-uSNpfSD9njh8pvUnrNMfMuQhVL_TxRmVHUVVOYvL6a3R8An7VK/s320/IMAG0424.jpg" width="179" /></a></div>Hey guys!

Sorry, buddy. Even though you're still technically allowed to be in Libera, you left so early. I wanted to hear more.<br />

Happy day for me!<br />
<br />
Birthdays come first, as always. We have two birthdays this month.<br />
<br />
<strong>1) Matthew Madine-????</strong><br />
<br />
We really don't know the exact date of Matt's birthday, but we know it will be this month and he will be turning 10. Wow, he's young. We look forward to the many years he will have in Libera!<br />

I can't forget Ed. He had the most gorgeous voice ever. Let me prove it.<br />

He will be celebrating his 16th birthday this month. I always wondered why he dropped out so fast. He could still be in Libera. After all, Liam, Josh, Ben, and Jonathan still are...?<br />
I miss you, Ed. <br />

<br />
I wanted to mention that today is the day that the Libera Christmas Album comes out in the US. Yay US fans! I am going to order it as soon as I have the money in hand. Glad to live in America right now!<br />
<br />
This is the cover for the regular christmas album:<br />

I actually think it's a great price, and a good start for the new fans but I'm buying the Deluxe Edition which looks like this<br />
<br />

It just has the song cards and a christmas decoration in with it. I'm just buying it because it makes more profits for Libera and I like the song cards. And they have pretty pictures too.<br />
<br />
Yet another thing: a late, late, late, late video from the Philippines.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/TqqJ63-ZcFs?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>I LOOOOVVVEEE this song! Ever since I heard it on the song previews, I was dying to hear the whole thing. And to see and hear the song at the same time was a real treat for me. It was flawless, except how the guy kept saying Libera in a spanish accent. It kinda bothered me, but I guess it's okay. I think it's how Libera is said in latin cus spanish is close to latin..?<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You probably heard about the Libera Playground, right? Well, here's more. The video is pretty cool. Love how Kavana and Ralph are just taking over the show. Not just in this video, but in all the songs and solos they do. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I've been looking forward to it for quite a while now. <br />
Joshua Madine's Birthday.<br />
Oh Josh. Happy birthday! You have many fans throughout the world that adore you and are wishing you a happy birthday. Youhave reached the hearts of many people through your songs, and that includes me too. Over the years you have turned intoa brilliant young teen. Your voice has reached a higher level of maturity, and even though we all miss the days when you could sing the descants, we all adore the mocha dark chocolate sound you make when you sing. Thanks, Josh. Your smile brightens up my day every day. I bet othet people think the same. You are awesome. Dont leave Libera just yet<br />
I still have to see you live :)Liberaholichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05255994127743376425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272511227715545057.post-73300421595843264462011-10-23T11:51:00.000-07:002011-10-23T11:51:58.327-07:00October... In general...Do you remember what high school freshman year was like?<br />
Yeah. I'm going through it.<br />
I hate to make an excuse for being out so long, but it is mainly due to the over-cramming of tests, quizzes, projects, lectures and lack of sleep that comes in the freshman package. I'm sorry, Libera fans. I have let you down once more. I have missed blogging and I am so excited to be back.<br />
<br />
I'll begin with a little thank you note. So much of the information that we recieve about Libera comes from Libera360. I just want to say that I owe a lot to them. They are always on time and very descriptive. Thank you a million times. <br />
<br />
Let's first do a little housekeeping. I missed two birthdays this month:<br />
<br />
Joseph Sanders Wilde - <strong>October 8</strong><br />
Sam Leggett- <strong>October 12</strong><br />
<br />
Please forgive my ignorance. I still think you guys are awesome. We'll have a major party next October just cause I missed your birthdays. Deal? I hope so.<br />
<br />
And, we have <strong>Josh Madine's Birthday </strong>coming up this week on <strong>October 26, </strong>I believe..? He's going to turn 17 this year.<br />
<br />
*** I know there are some pages I'm not keeping up to date. I'll fix them ASAP as soon as my life gets a little less cluttered.***<br />
<br />
Another thing we really need to talk about is the CHRISTMAS CONCERT OF THE YEAR! Can you believe that? Libera officially made it to "The Best". We're not surprised, since we all know how awesome they are right? :D<br />
But it's a good thing the world is recognizing them as the best. They really deserve that title. YAY Libera! I'm glad I am a fan now, cuz one day everybody's gonna know them, and the world will be a better place, and all of us fans can say "Oh yeah. We knew them before." And then the world will be jealous. <br />
<br />
Here's a poster for the tour:<br />

I'm actually very happy about this tour. This year, Libera has made a lot of improvement. They toured two countries, including one that they went to for the first time. Not they are going around the globe again to yet another country. They are also performing for their home country, England. This year, there were a lot of little newbies introduced, and they even brought out another album, the first Christmas one released by them. Not to mention all the voice changes, like Ralph and Josh. I think Libera is advancingin exponential numbers. Go boys and go Prizeman!<br />

He is truly amazing. </span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="newmembers"><strong>Carol of the Bells</strong>- I think the preview doesn't do the song much justice. I want to hear this one so badly.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="newmembers"><strong>Veni, Veni Emmanuel</strong>- so solemn and pious, yet the light shines through every dark chord. I wanted to hear Daniel do another solo.

I hope to hear more :)</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="newmembers"><strong>O Holy Night- </strong>Man, Ralph is really keeping this up!

So light and windy.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="newmembers"><strong>Corpus Christi Carol-</strong> I'm not sure of this song either. It's a Libera first. But the singers, James and Ralph, do a really good job on the preview. I, for one, have not heard James in a while. I'm pleased!</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="newmembers"><strong>In Dulci Jubilo-</strong> whatever this song is, I feel good about it. Excited as ever! It might become one of my faves!</span><br />
<br />
<strong>Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas- </strong>it was on the Peace album, but James's voice makes me feel nostalgic. I'm glad we can hear it again!<br />
<br />
<strong>Sing the Story- </strong>oh, such an old song with the brand new kids. I kept listening to the old version thinking, Libera should make this one as part of their repertoire again. And here it is! It's a really good song. It makes me feel happy :)<br />
<br />
<strong>Coventry Carol- </strong>Ohmagawd. Is this possible? Was that really Josh singing? If so, I will cry. For happiness. Gone is the warm voice. It's time for the new chapter of Josh's voice named: Dark chocolate mocha with mint bits in it and caramel on top while making angels in the snow. This is so overwhelming I think I have to stop.<br />
<br />
<strong>The First Noel-</strong> Aww, Freddie is doing the solo in this one. This song is one of my Christmas faves. <br />
<br />
<strong>Jubilate Deo- </strong>YESSSS!! This is my perpetual favorite of the older Libera choir. I wanted to hear it so bad!<br />
<br />
<strong>While Sheperds Watched Their Flocks- </strong>Cassius, you have a lovely voice! And even though I have not heard this song before, I want to hear it cause of your lovely gorgeus voice!<br />
<br />
<strong>Lullabye- </strong>thanks for this song again, Libera! I loved it on the Deluxe Peace album I own. I wish Josh would sing it again in his snow-mocha voice, though.<br />
<br />
Well, that's it for now. When more stuff comes out for the tour, I'll compile it and make a little Phillipines tribute post. Or not. <br />

The sensational Phillipines, now a Lib-hotspot for Fall 2011, have just recieved their all-new Christmas Deluxe Edition today. They are the first country to recieve it!<br />

I seem to have gotten Eoghan and Barney mixed up. Poor Barney. I'm so sorry! I can't even tell the difference between you and Eoghan. So much for your faithful fan. Thank you for pointing it out!</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
Man, am I late! I thought I would be able to make the photo album within a short time of the USA Tour, but here we are, on the verge of Libera's FALL tour and I STILL haven't posted the photo album I was supposed to do, what about TWO MONTHS BACK?!?!?!<br />
<br />
Yeah, I am very very mad at myself for procrastinating. I am eternally sorry for making you wait so long.<br />
<br />
This photo album is, as always, courtesy to the Libera Official Website who always do such a fine job of keeping us on our toes. And, I really wish I knew who took all these pictures. They deserve a gigantic cup of hot chocolate-mocha.<br />
<br />

If you read Inna's post already, then you'll know what I'm talking about, but if you haven't, go read it now!!!!!<br />
<br />
Well, in short, Inna had a dream about Josh and I happened to have a dream about Josh on the exact same night!!!!!!! I'm so freaked out! Maybe it was Josh Dreams night?<br />

<br />
Only my dream was different from hers.<br />
<br />
I was at my church, only it was different than what I know it to be, and it had a bouncy place and dressing room, and pool, and everything. And I was just in street clothes walking around the church with no apparent reason, when suddenly, the entire Libera choir walks through the front doors and starts making themselves at home. And while I sit there trying to figure out how in the world Libera got to my church, some person, I think it was Ben Crawley, comes up and says "Oh yeah! We're going to do some concerts in this church, and we're going to stay here(the church also happened to have private apartaments in the dream(????)) for four days, and if you'll excuse us, we'll go play in the rec room now." So by then I was completely confused, but also crazy happy at the same time. And then Josh comes up and says hi and I'm just like "Joshhhhhhhh....". So basically, all these four days me and my friends start following the Libera boys everywhere, and we end up going bungee jumping with them, and who knows what else was in that crazy church. And everywhere we go, Josh ends up singing one solo or another and all my girl buddies and I just sit there around him in a circle, going 'Oh, Joshhhhhhhhhhh......." as he sings some pretty gorgeous, new Josh-deep-voice songs. And on the fourth evening, all the older boys and us go out to dinner and eat delicious British cuisine, and we're just talking together. It was awesome, but completely crazy.<br />
<br />
I just wanted to point that out. Inna, I think we have a National Josh Dream Day!Liberaholichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05255994127743376425noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272511227715545057.post-37514854758555668562011-09-07T16:58:00.000-07:002011-09-07T16:58:38.608-07:00Happy Birthday To....Today happens to be the only birthday day in September.

Well, Ben is one of the oldest Libera members I know, and I am really inspired by him because he had one of the most glorious sounding voices I have ever heard. Even though his sound has deepened, I remember when he had the highest, most angelic sound pour from his lips. His singing always reminds me of trumpets and their clear, loud sound. Here's a little music video he was in. Just listen. You'll see.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><object width="320" height="266" class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="http://1.gvt0.com/vi/nC_qzefgElU/0.jpg"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nC_qzefgElU&fs=1&source=uds" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><embed width="320" height="266" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nC_qzefgElU&fs=1&source=uds" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object></div>See?? I told you! He was great, and is obviously still great, and another thing I want to mention about him is that he still takes part in the Libera family. I guess he never could get out of it. Even though he's not in the actual choir anymore, he is always on tour, helping with the chaperoning and sound system. AND he was the composer of Touch the Sky, which is one of the most calming songs I know of. Happy Birthday on September 7, and congrats on turning 24! We love you, Big Ben!<br />

<br />
The all-time original Libera chorister, soloist, and now chaperone, Ben Crawley will be celebrating his birthday on the 7th of this month. He will be turning 24 years old. Wow, he's not that even that old!<br />
<br />
Look forward to the special birthday post on September 7.<br />
<br />
That was short... but Big Ben gets a whole month all to himself. You should see the December list. Almost every day is a birthday.

You see, I don't have any particular theme to stick to today, but I do have a lot to say. That's why its going to be a huge mess.<br />
<br />
Let me start with my new blog design. I did a little fixing up here and there, got a new background going on, and you can see the cover of the Christmas album is behind my blog title. You can also see that I have added a new page: The Lib-Calendar. The name is self-explanatory. I'm going to be running a calendar on this blog, and you can go right on ahead and check it whenever you feel like it! First order of business, complete.<br />
Another thing I have to mention is that I live in the US, and there is going to be a major hurricane slamming into me on Saturday, which means power might go out for a few days to a few weeks. In the picture below you can see..... Hurricane Irene!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirGmjiS-ePn0vxX8xqe0-u2L4DgcPDcwQdRXHGPUi9tupmpxJ1ryq4ybDfXguLdOdvXbEmqPfPys5jIz_l7mBm35Z_aXILcO9dif4pDMhA47_F0S4nIyaOyFg2CqRYe3txaJdUpGPnR0Rm/s1600/hurricane-irene-110822-02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirGmjiS-ePn0vxX8xqe0-u2L4DgcPDcwQdRXHGPUi9tupmpxJ1ryq4ybDfXguLdOdvXbEmqPfPys5jIz_l7mBm35Z_aXILcO9dif4pDMhA47_F0S4nIyaOyFg2CqRYe3txaJdUpGPnR0Rm/s400/hurricane-irene-110822-02.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! It is so scary to think that this hunk of a swirling cloud is gonna smash into where I live.<br />
I don't mean to make a bigger deal out of this than I should, but I've never been in a hurricane before. This would be my first. And, I'm a little scared, yes I am. But you see, that's not the point. I'm probably not going to get on this blog for a while since the power is going to be knocked out. Goodbye Libera! Goodbye, blog! If I live through this(which I'm almost 100% positive that I will), I'll tell you the experience of being in a major hurricane. Or typhoon, or whatever it's called where you live. <br />
Also, I've been looking around, and I found the list of songs to be on the Christmas Album. Thank you to the Mini Angels bloggers! And also to madinelover! These are supposed to be a few of the songs( Mini Angels said 16) on the album. Hmmmm, Lullabye? Is it going to be the one on the Peace album? I'd like that! <br />

</div>Well, the title is kind of dumb, but it proves my point. Once again, Libera is in somewhat of a time when EVERYTHING is happening all at the same time. And, with my being a little sick at the moment, I have been uninformed of just about everything. So, let's get to the Breaking News of the day(forgive me, but I must go on with the news theme, I think it's getting to me:)<br />
<br />
<strong>1. Libera in the Phillipines</strong><br />
<br />
As you have most likely heard from either the Official Libera website, or a more informed blog than my own(and most of the things I know come from our beloved madinelover, Inna, Lexi and Lauren, and many others. Thank you guys for keeping me on the line with all of the news), Libera is officially going to the Phillipines in October! <br />
<br />
<em>We are delighted to announce that we will be visiting the Philippines from 23rd to 29th October. Further details will be published shortly.</em> <br />
<br />
That's what they said! 2011 has really been a major tour year, right? First Canada, which was the first time there for them. Then, US, which was actually the biggest and most effective tour I have heard they did. And now the Phillipines? This is great! What this means is that 1) Libera's fan numbers will shoot up like a rocket and 2) they are gaining enough funds to go to more places. Which brings me to my next subject.<br />
<br />
<strong>2. World Libera Day</strong><br />
This is just confirming that the number of fans are rising. A World Libera Day? When I first found out, I thought I was dreaming. Holy Josh Madine!!!! So this day is going to be on November 1st every year from now on. Libera has their own day now. I can't believe it. This is awesome!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/MZmptBJqS3w?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>So as you can see in this video, uploaded by adrianuwant3 on Youtube, the world is teaming up for Libera and all the fans across the world are going to help by raising funds for them.The video listed some things you can do to raise money, but to tell the truth, that list is endless. I'm going to make a mini list here:<br />
<br />
1) Buy something of theirs. A CD, DVD, whatever they put on sale! It all goes to them.<br />
<br />
2) Go to their concert. Remember, this can be done on a day other than WLD(World Libera Day). If you go to their concert, you are supporting them as a fan, and also financially. And you'll get all excited too!<br />
<br />
3) Host some sort of an event that costs money for Libera. The video mentioned something about tea, and whatnot. This is one thing you can do on WLD and be as creative as you want. A lemonade stand, bake sale(people are really attracted to food, for some reason), party, movie night, car wash, anything you want!<br />
<br />
4) Do odd jobs for people. If you tell them the money is going toward a good cause, then they'll probably let you do it. Mow lawns, walk dogs, babysit, again, the possibilities are endless. Ask your boss for a bonus for Libera, for cryin out loud. It might work!<br />
<br />
5) Share Libera with a friend. Think of all those people out there who don't have the beautiful music of Libera boys to listen to. Just start up a conversation, and then let them borrow, or even keep a CD. Sooner or later, with patience, they might become a fan and take part in the next World Libera Day.<br />
<br />
If all us fans rally together like that, then heaven knows Libera will outdo Justin Bieber(in who I personally take no liking). They'll be in Hollywood like [snap] that!<br />
<br />
<strong>3. Christmas Album</strong><br />
<br />
The rumors were swirling earlier in the year, and in July, Libera personally assured us that the rumors really were correct.<br />
<br />
<div class="ArticlelDate"><em>July 20th, 2011 by Libera</em></div><em> </em><br />
<em> We have been very busy recently. Of course we have been preparing for our</em><a href="http://www.libera.org.uk/about/our_usa_tour_in_2011"><strong><span style="color: #0077cc;"><em> forthcoming USA tour</em></span></strong></a><em>, but we have also been recording a NEW ALBUM. This will be a first for Libera, because it is a Christmas album - and it is due for release later in the year.</em><br />
<em> So please look out for more news of this soon!</em><br />
<br />
As you can see, Libera is going to record a new album! A Christmas one, to be exact. Now, I'm pretty sure for the boys, it must have been weird to start recording Christmas in July, but for us it is very good news because it means the album will come out <em>before</em> Christmas, which means that we have plenty of time to write our letters to Santa. Haha. Or buy them for others. What's more, because of this special album, Libera will be going on a trip to the Phillipines to get the promo going. And as you can see, we are exactly where we started.<br />
<br />
It was really fun to catch up on some Libera news. But before I end this post, I have to put up the link for the Christmas Album cover. The website isn't letting me put any pictures up right now, but I will try later. For now, click <a href="http://madinelover.blogspot.com/">here</a> to get to London in Love, which is madinelover's blog. Thank you for your post!<br />

I'm sorry about that. But I can at least say it now<br />
<br />
HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY, JOSEPH PLATT!!!!!<br />

I was never aquainted with this particular singer, so I decided to do a little research on youtube. Man, this kid(when he was a kid) had a VOICE!! I watched a tribute video made for him, thanks to luminosaglory, the maker. I was expecting something more, how should I say.. olden from him since he was in Libera about three generations before the present one. I was astonished! The video started and this gorgeous, lilting melody poured from the speakers. His voice has such a sunny tone to it, and that, blended with the piety in his singing just blew me away. I'm sorry, Joe, for not recognizing your talent until now.<br />

Now, to the present, we have an on-time birthday today. Alfie Smart is turning 13 years old today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!<br />

You know, I miss this kid so much. When I became aquainted with the newer Libera generation in 2010, his name was among the first I remembered. And then, just as he came, he was gone again :( Well, as it turns out, Alfie joined Libera in 2008, and left last year. There are some who are still suspecting him to be part of the choir, but in my opinion, if he was still in Libera, he would have come on the Canada or Us tour, or both, and he went on neither. I'm not sure of his singing any solos during his time in the choir, but he was really adorable. Here's a little tribute video off of Youtube, with much gratitude to MrJoesnelling, who happens to make quite a lot of Libera videos.<br />

Check in again in two days, because we have another birthday to celebrate :)Liberaholichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05255994127743376425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272511227715545057.post-69774546983525430092011-08-12T11:17:00.000-07:002011-08-12T11:17:46.803-07:00Overview of the TourHere I am, at my house, thinking of what to write about Libera's tour because I didn't get to go see them. I really wish I could have gone, but problems popped out of nowhere, and suddenly, I couldn't go. What a great dissapointment. But on the bright side, me, and all the other people like me who didn't have a chance to see Libera with our own eyes, have something called the Internet to help us connect. Thank God for the Internet!<br />
<br />
Okay. As you probably already know, a Libera member wrote a series of blog posts, and they are on the Official Libera Website. Here is the <a href="http://www.libera.org.uk/blog/usa_tour_2011_part_one">First Blog Entry</a>, and this one is the <a href="http://www.libera.org.uk/blog/usa_tour_2011_part_two">Second</a>, and finally the <a href="http://www.libera.org.uk/blog/usa_tour_2011_part_three">Third</a> one. Overall, I think they are VERY cute, because whoever wrote them sounds like a mini news reporter. Also, they are really informative. These Libera kids are so bright, and they know how to make us pay attention while having a good laugh at the same time. I hope they had fun on the tour.<br />
<br />
So, this is the overview of everything that happened on the USA 2011 Summer Tour of Libera:<br />
<br />
First, they traveled by plane to Minnesota, where they would have their first concert. They got to their hotel, slept nice and sound, and did rehearsals the next day. Can you imagine that?? You just traveled about 5,000 miles, and after a short sleep(disturbed by time difference) you wake up in the morning and have to be fresh and upbeat for a series of rehearsals. Harsh schedule, huh? Well, I think they pulled it off. I know I would have dropped dead asleep on the floor halfway through rehearsal time.<br />
<br />
Then they took a field trip to the Cathedral in St. Paul, to find it to have a living hell of a temperature. Luckily, they had fans to cool them down. No, not fans as in people fans who cheer, but electric fans that produce cool air. Yes, those fans. Lol.<br />
<br />
They went to the Gala Concert venue, where they saw none other than Miley Cyrus, and loads of auction items. <br />
<br />
Next they went to a science museum to watch a King Tut movie. I think it was in an Imax Dome theater because they mentioned in the blog that the screen was "ginormous" and that there was nothing to distract them from the movie. Awww, it was their first time at an Imax? That's great! I'm glad they liked it! By the way, if you haven't been to an Imax to see a movie, go and get a ticket RIGHT NOW!! It's amazing!<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi442hzH0csvjWKr-9o8QkTSWisymaBcTg2XJkYebX-kLPXn1rQTKtn8zx5sT0DgqUiKZiA2i2FMNqRI75qPshRV0IE9xqPnu2dKoiqYCqRMT3azrqOicW4NpjXsZeMLczZ5hs5TLUtMmBK/s1600/IMG_3309.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="173" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi442hzH0csvjWKr-9o8QkTSWisymaBcTg2XJkYebX-kLPXn1rQTKtn8zx5sT0DgqUiKZiA2i2FMNqRI75qPshRV0IE9xqPnu2dKoiqYCqRMT3azrqOicW4NpjXsZeMLczZ5hs5TLUtMmBK/s320/IMG_3309.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
Anyway, the next day, they did the morning mass at the cathedral as well as participate in the Starkey Foundation Gala concert with Jon Rich. They met Bill Clinton, and Whoopi Goldberg, and took a picture with Miley Cyrus. You can see her in this picture above.<br />
and she is in the middle of all the boys. This picture is courtesy to the Official Libera Website.<br />
<br />
<br />
They stayed at Maddens Resort for two days where they did a great deal of playing sports, burning off calories and slimming down. Not like they need to, anyway. Then they performed their first actual concert at St. Mary's Basilica, which they said was a good start. Afterward, they took a ride down the Missisippi, swam in a the pool, and went to sleep. I bet they slept like babies :)<br />
<br />
Well, I'll post the rest of that in a day or two. We need to let our brains take all of this in for a while. Good luck!<br />

You are an extremely talented young man! When I heard you sing The Fountain, I was stunned and very impressed to hear your lovely voice. Everyone's voice in Libera reminds me of something, and yours reminds me of the cooling breeze when you lie down under the shade of a tree during summer. Your music refreshes me when I hear you. Thank you so much for everything you do in Libera and will continue to do! Today you are a teenager. Wow that's really cool! Have fun and eat plenty of cake :)<br />

I am going to start a new thing on this blog. Every first day of the month, I will post a listing of the Libera members whose birthday is in that month. Of course, I will have a special post on their actual birthday. Also, some of the people on the list will be older than some others. I just wanted to give them a chance to not be missed. After all, they were a part of Libera, too. Since I missed the first day of the month, I will do it today :) Oh yeah! And one other thing, I don't have everybody's birthday at the moment, like the newbies that just made it in. One day though, we will find out when they were born and we get to celebrate. We just have to be patient(especially me, because I'm excited to see when Matthew Madine was born XD)<br />

<strong>Sam Coates: August 1</strong><br />
Sam, our Libera old faithful. Unfortunately, I missed his birthday by two days :( But it will be fun next August when I post the birthday listing AND do a happy birthday post on the same day. <br />

<strong>Joseph Platt: August 20</strong><br />
I was never that familiar with this Libera member, but there are some fans out there that remember the times when he was still with the choir. He will be turning 20 years old this month. Lol, turning 20 on August 20. That's a once in a lifetime opportunity!!!<br />

Awww, Alfie! I miss the little squirt. I still wonder what happened to him. He will be turning 13 years old.<br />

<strong>James Vereycken: August 26</strong><br />
Does he have a brother named Michael? I'm sure I've seen their last name somewhere... <br />
James will be turning 18 this month.<br />

Happy late birthday to Sam, and happy early birthday to Ralph, Joseph, Alfie, and James!Liberaholichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05255994127743376425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272511227715545057.post-63349465793286163502011-08-03T09:40:00.000-07:002011-08-03T09:40:00.221-07:00Interview on Fox 9<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/IsvTWi33hqw?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>Yesterday, I went onto DearMadine's blog, Beautiful Strangers, and I found(to my complete bewilderment and overexcitement), an array of videos from a concert, and one very special news interview.. which happens to be the one that is in this post. I've been having trouble with uploading videos, for some reason, so if you can't watch it here, I strongly suggest that you go either to Beautiful Strangers and watch it there, or go to Youtube and type in 'libera interview fox 9'. It should be the first video that pops up. Oh yeah. thank you DearMadine for the information! I wouldn't have found out about this interview if she hadn't posted it first :)<br />
<br />
Well, how should I start? I saw this interview and decided to watch it, probably because I saw beautiful Josh's name in the description under the video. So I watched it, quite absentmindedly. My brain wasn't focusing on what anyone said, but rather, on the absolutely gorgeous Josh Madine, all grown up, mature, and at least half a head taller than he was when I last saw him in the Song of Life music video. While he was talking, my mind was completely engrossed in the richness, smoothness, and silky texture of his now deep voice... and not to mention the British accent that added on to the experience.. I know I'm taking this a bit farther than I should, but come on people, think about it! This is probably the last we will see of beautiful, famous, Joshua Madine and his even more beautiful smile, and his unmistakable sweet, rich voice! Let's bask in the sunshine of his presence while we still can... or we'll regret it later.....<br />
<br />
As for the interview, it turned out to be pretty good the second time I watched it, determined to overcome my weakness to Josh. I think all the boys did a good job with their answers, even though I thought the last question was pretty weird, because all of them seemed to answer it the same way. And Cassius really should stay and host the show :)<br />
<br />
It's a little difficult to keep up with all that Libera is doing at the moment, but I promise I will work hard and do my best. For one, they will be doing a concert in St. Louis today. Good luck, Libera, and may the best audience be there to support you.<br />
<br />
Oh yeah, I'm still unsure about my going to Frisco for the concert, but now that I actually saw Josh, I felt a little more relieved than I was before.Liberaholichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05255994127743376425noreply@blogger.com0
