Thanks for that LM - I stupidly forgot to set video but will look out for Youtube later on!

I hope some of those who considered Ben to be arrogant watched that - although most of them are so narrow minded they'll never change their minds whatever he says

We all know who they are But yes, I really don't believe there is an arrogant bone in that boy. Confident, yes of course, and that mixed with the fustration he felt on the show, and his passion and impulsive nature was I think unfortunately interpreted as arrogance by some

Personally I think on Saturday he said about being shy some of the time in an attempt to respond to some of his critics (possibly advised to say something like that).. But Zoe jumping straight in and saying Oh Ben you're not shy hahaha did him no favours at all.

Well put Lula Mae.

I also think Ben showed incredible dignity for his age and dealing with some of the comments that came his way.


Go BEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the summary. That is really comprehensive!!

they prob didn't ask him as it is too early - prob not got nothing but his studys lined up yet.

thanks for your thoughts on the matter
though I thought thats what I said

I bet you some approaches/discussions are being made to BEN - of course he will want to finish his studies - let's just wait and see!!! I feel confident!

BEN was really dignified this morning so young but an old head - this will carry BEN through well.

He might not be allowed to say yet. On most of these programs they are contracted for a certain time and until the contract is up they aren't really supposed to sign elsewhere. I know certainly on Pop Idol they were all contracted until after the tour and therefore unless they had signed with the same company that produced the show they weren't allowed to sign/make any records etc until after the tour. It might be they are contracted until after the program finishes or even later. Perhaps we might have good news after next week

I didn't know the BBC put stuff on youtube themself

its only been a few days - he would prob want to wait and see if any offers do come in, and then choose which he feels is the best for him. or he might decide to concentate on studying for a bit to improve his vocals. i am sure he will have options.

I think I read somewhere that Daniel said he couldn't say anything for certain until the programme was finished, so you are probably right there.

Word is out (confirmed) Daniel's signed for the same management company as John Barrowman but maybe John's connection with the show makes that permissible?

Yay does that mean JB liked both my fave's Ben and Daniel?
He shouldn't have called Daniel 'beige' though!!

Will be very interested to see what the two of them get up to next - sadly I would pay more to see either of them than any of those left in Joseph!!

oooh *writes petition for ADWD tour* Oh who am I kidding.. *writes new petition for the BEN one man show tour, with special guests JB and DVO *

Me too!

Although I already have Joseph tickets now, so unless there's some sort of recount or miracle, I WILL be seeing one of those left whatever happens.

I'll have two tickets please!

On second thoughts, are there any jobs going backstage..personal dresser say??!!
