I wont answer for Yorkie ( I'm sure he has his own ideas) but it's pretty clear to see that Josh is the only non treble getting solo"s here . And it does not take a genius to figure out that's it's because Josh is so popular .

If this new change in direction actually involved any of the of the other 6 or 7 boys with changed voices it would be nice. As it is Josh has had

Time
Faithful heart
Eternal light
Coventry Carol
Veni Veni

And it would seem its just because josh is Libera's poster boy and sells them cd's. Let's wait till Josh goes and I bet that suddenly non trebles won't get solo's .

Dear Madine your whole site is about Josh so of course you will love that he is still getting solo's. He is cute and sweet and the girls lap it up and in return makes Libera money .

But personally it grates as If this was really about giving the crowds something new then he would not simply pick Josh. Liam sings in the choir at school so is he incapable of singing lead now his voice is no longer a treble?

Dani, I would love to hear any Libera boys getting a solo as I mentioned on my review. I don't deny that Josh is my favorite member but let's not forget that I'm also a Libera fan just like everyone here.

If you really think Robert Prizeman has given solos to Josh only because he has a bigger fan-base or he is "Libera's poster boy and sells them cd's" as you put, I personally think that's a pretty degrading statement to say about Libera's music and Libera as an organization.

If you were to ask me 'then why Josh has so many solos?' I can give you my answer but that won't satisfy you so you should really ask Robert Prizeman for that. Whatever his answer might be, I don't consider your opinion as a viable option of RP's many possible answers.

I do not mind that you do not agree with me. After all its just my opinion. And we all have our favorites but as i just want too see other boys being given an opportunity that Josh is being given. You have 7-8 boys with changed voices yet only one is getting solo's.

I agree with you that I also wanna see other older boys getting solos as they are all talented. They are all proven Libera veterans with years of experience. I just don't agree on your reasoning that Josh was given solos by RP because of his looks and popularity. If we don't agree, we don't agree. Also fine with me. Enjoy the rest of the album!

I would just say the whole package of Josh is getting solo's. He is clearly the most popular member in places like Japan and the Philippines and he is a drew for the fan girls.

I don't think any other member of Libera has a actually fan site dedicated to just them.

Josh is a marketing dream :D

Cheers Michael, I'll actually be working Saturday and then cheering on the demise of Guy Fawkes at an organised event later on - so although I will record it I won't be able to make it available for YouTube until very, very late on. Let's get #LiberaQVC trending on Saturday (okay it's never going to happen with 'Beliebers and GaGa's monsters about but still...), I might be able to send a tweet twor two at work.

The only time I have watched QVC (aside from channel flicking) is from the two links on here, one for Billy Elliot's performance and the other Aled Jones. Getting artists to perform as a way of selling their merchandise is much better than listening to the presenters scripted patter. It's great that the libera boys will be able to sell their own CD ;)
