Sing along to Ben's new single
They can't take that away
(S. Kipner/A.Frampton/S.Smith)
Whatever I give you
You give me back so much more
You give me that something
I never knew I was looking for
Whenever I need you
It's like you read my mind
You're already waiting
Up ahead at the finish line
I Don't know if I'll get there
Cos it could change in 15 minutes
But here I am in the moment
I won't hold back
I'm gonna live it
I Don't know where this is going
Or how hard it's gonna be
You get the scars to prove it
When you wear your heart out on your sleeve
I'm still standing here today
In your eyes I'm still the same
And they can't take that away
I stood at the ocean
Too afraid to swim
You said 'How will you ever know
How far you'll go
If you don't jump in?'
I stared up at a mountain
And it looks so high
But you started pushing me
'til I believed
That I could touch the sky
I Don't know if I'll get there
Cos it could change in 15 minutes
But Here I am in the moment
I won't hold back
I'm gonna live it
You can't say if it'll happen
You can't say it isn't true
Cos I'm the one that's going through it
Right in front of you
I Don't know where this is going
Or how hard it's gonna be
You get the scars to prove it
When you wear your heart out on your sleeve
But I'm standing here today
In your eyes I'm still the same
And they can't take that away
I'm still standing here today
In your eyes I'm still the same
And they can't take that away
Can't say if it will happen
Can't say it isn't true
Cause I'm the one that's going through it
Right in front of you
Don't know where this is going
How hard it's gonna be
You get the scars to prove it
When you wear your heart out on your sleeve
I'm still standing here today
In your eyes I'm still the same
And they can't take that away
Oh no, no they can't take that away
They can't take that away, but you can
That's right, Ben's winning single "They can't take that away" is in store now. Take your copy away (after paying for it of course). Better yet, get it signed by Ben the man himself this Saturday May 15th 3pm at the Sounds Music Store in the Botany Town Centre.

Msg Board is back
I'm really sorry that the message board has been missing in action over the 'critical period'. Apparently due to some hardware problems all the data were lost, so I had to create a new tag-board. Very annoying isn't it..
BEN WON!!
A huge congratulations to Ben for winning the NZ Idol title! Thank you to everyone who voted for Ben. He so deserves every single one of the votes, because he is truly a star. The result announcement was very emotional. Ben thanked the public and God with tears in his eyes, while his fans and family exploded in jubilations. This is it eh. This is what NZ Idol should be about - Finding a true talent that won't be found otherwise! All the best to Ben and his promising career ahead. We look forward to it :-)
Nearly there....
Only a few minutes to go before we find out who is our very first NZ Idol!!! The latest tally at 7pm was 60% Ben and 40% Michael. So it's looking pretty rosy.
