Libera Dreams

is it me or do Ben and James(mini) look like they could be related?


And that photo of Josh in the video looks quite sinister!

Great idea of showing the members' picture, name, and autograph at the end of the video. A great idea to acquaint new fans to who are the current members of Libera, at least the ones who performed at Japan, Korea, and the Philippines last April.

Great video. I really enjoyed seeing the part at the end, where the boys' pictures and signatures could be seen. I was able to see more clearly who Henry was, and see the newcomers, Cassius and Luke.

I think it has something to do with their hair and face shapes why you think Ben and James M. looked like they could be related. Jonathan and Henry, and Alex and Sam looked more like they could be related.

Jakob and Daniel takes the almost like twins category, though.
Are they cousins?

Yeah. I don't know if it was a case of a shutter button pressed a second early or Josh really posed like that.

In the series of pictures and autographs at the end, my favorite is that of Sam Leggett. Nice photograph. He wasn't looking at the camera and it felt like it was spontaneous. In liking photographs, I'm biased towards subjects not looking at the photographer (i.e. camera).

In the small talk category, Ralph and Ben win it hands down (based on the videos I've seen and my own experience at the autograph signings). In the hand shake category, I thought Stefan won it based on my own experience. Of course "winning it" is just an expression here. It's not really a competition.

And how about that bit of Alfie high-fiving a young fan at around 2:09 in the video? I thought that was priceless.

So what was this unshakable truth that was deleted? Andy works with Libera. We support Libera. Now that isn't to say Andy can do no wrong but if we have to pick sides, well there isn't much doubt about who will get our votes.

Andy has stated that he didn't swear at the guy. The supposed words that he was alleged to have said were not the type of thing a native English speaker would say (i.e. the grammar was incorrect). I don't believe Andy Winter did swear at the guy.

I also think the guy was manipulative and exploiting the boys. Now a few Filipino's seem to have been whipped in to a frenzy by Chukkoi and were implying that the entire country had been insulted. Utter rubbish.

Thankfully the many Filipino Libera fans who are active and valuable members of this forum are far too wise to fall for that.

The good thing is that Andy and Mitch Young (Chukkoi) have reconciled according to a blog by Thelma L. Guzman: http://orangecat-thisisme.blogspot.com/

I'm really glad this dispute between them is over and the topic has somewhat come a closure, but I'm sorry to say I've lost a lot of respect for certain fans.

You see guys, Andy Winter apologized, and he promised not to be rude next time. See/ something good came out of it. Sometimes, it's good to fight for your rights.

All I said was, that guy wouldn't be that upset if he didn't hear something rude. And that post was deleted. How pathetic. FYI, I don't know 'chukkoi'; heck, I'm not even Filipino! I'm just a foreign observer. But I nkow that they are fluent English speakers.

It's good for fans that Libera's staff was reminded that the customer is always right.

Yes, I agree it's good to fight for your rights. But the way he did it is not something I'll agree on. But that's just my opinion anyway. Though this has come to a closure, the way I perceive this guy and maybe a few other fans will remain the same. And again, that's just my opinion. No one has to agree with me.

Yes, I'm sure he was wholesomely vindicated in his righteousness when he went unauthorised into Libera's dressing room and started to manhandle his way through their clothes.

There are many examples on the net, were the customer is not 'always right'. Not withstanding that this is far from being a business/customer relationship anyway.

Yes, very enjoyable video by Cayleb101. I don't normally like to focus on how the boys come across in a snapshot photo or brief video. However it's hard not to notice Alfie's almost complete transformation on this tour. The high five to the young boy around his own age, was endearing, and he seems quite bubbly and full of vigour in the latest set of videos.

Wow great video . Really nicely put together


Luke Collins has a monobrow tho and he is about 9.

I always wanted to comment about that but didnt wanna look like a jerk ....pretty sure once he gets around 11 or 12 he'll make a decision to either leave it or cut it, right now I don't think he cares lol

Also Sam has grown up as he has a little moustache now which is funny to see in a nice way.

...and there are some photo's he took here Photos choose the slideshow option for larger pics.

Thanks for the post. I was seated below on the 4th row below and wished to take pics myself to capture the moment, specially when Josh and Ben sang Time live.

But a reminder kept on playing that pictures and recordings are strictly prohibited once the show starts. I'm surprised none of those so concerned about Libera's policies being broken has raised an eyebrow yet.

I'm glad someone shared these, cause i doubt the organizers who had the liberty to record would share their recordings.

I read that there is a much closer video of the PICC concert where you can see the boys' reaction and facial expressions but only those privileged can see it. I'd love to see their reaction on the encore. If they have the video i hope they turn it into a dvd someday.

Ooh, me too. I'd like to see a video of them performing "Bayan Ko" for the first time. That was so awesome! Nobody knew about the encore piece (or maybe some people did) and it was just sooooo stunning when they started singing!

Great video.

A lot of the postconcert videos didn't surface until recently before the April concerts in Manila. I'm sure in the future, when they need to market such events again, these behind the scenes footages or these special videos will appear again. I also hope they release that one of the PICC concert, especially that of Bayan Ko. It was so special because it was the first time they performed that song in concert.
