PAULS DEPARTURE - THE WEBCHAT

Ben Adams says: Thank you again for all your support. Yet again you've proved a1 fans are the best fans around the world. We can't wait to continue making music for you, we're very excited about the future.
Jason: Paul helped a lot with the creative side of the music. Do you still feel that you will be able to be as creative?
->Ben Adams replies: Definitely. It'll be different but it'll be just as good.
alina_star: Your wit, maturity, depth and down to earth natures have set a1 apart from any so-called "BOYBAND"...How will you go about ensuring that your fate will not be that of an inevitable break-up following Paul's departure?
->Mark Read replies: We've covered that. We're going to make great new music and go out and see all of our fans.
christians_thong: ben hey hey how are ya? are you lookin forward to your 21st? any big plans
->Ben Adams replies: Yes, very much so. I'm hoping the other guys will throw me a party.
Paul: Going down a different road..... are Ben's spikes a tribute to Gazza Gates?!
->Mark Read replies: They're nothing like Gareth Gates! But his hair looks very cool and so does Gareth's. He's got his own look and we think it's great.
MrBigglesworth: What would you say to reassure any despairing fans out there?!
->Mark Read replies: Things are strong with the three of us. Believe in us and we'll be there for you.
Shiran_LovEs_Christian: chris... don't u feel bad about being "the oldest" member now?
->Christian Ingebrigtsen replies: I feel an enormous sense of responsibility. I'll have to look after these other rascals, but hopefully I'll be able to keep them out of trouble.
MrBigglesworth: How do you think you'll be recieved by fans and the general public now: do you think you'll be taken any differently?
->Christian Ingebrigtsen replies: Obviously we'll be slightly different as there's three of us. But we really hope everyone will continue to believe in us, because we need everyone right now.
AnnizChicaNorway: Christian, you said in VG that Paul left because he had troubles dealing with all the preassure from the press, do any of you guys feel the same way?
->Mark Read replies: I don't have pressure from the press. We've had a great relationship with the press, we've had good respect from the rest of the media. That's definitely not the reason.
miss Ben: is it true that Paul was jealous on Ben?
->Mark Read replies: Paul was not that kind of person. He was very down to earth, a non-jealous type of person. I think that's another rumour that was made up.
untouchable: answer, are Paul into drugs?
->Mark Read replies: We know him very well and that is rubbish.
Lozzi: Will Paul carry on with anything famous or does he hate the fame too much!!!
->Christian Ingebrigtsen replies: We can't speak for Paul. We really don't know what he'll do.
nancy read ingebrigtsen: is it true that you will drop out by sony? hope not fingers cross+++++
->Ben Adams replies: No. I don't know where that came from. It couldn't be further from the truth. We're making a new single, a new album... we're pretty confident here.
yaten: Ben Can you fall in love with your same gender or sex!??
mitzi&ben: I ve been longing to ask this question how did the rumor about you guys being dropped off by Sony started?
MelW: Mark how are your sideburns coping with Paul s departure?
Bennie: What can you say about Blue? Don't worry we'll support you guys!
Christian_a1_4evagirl: Are you still be friends with Paul and will you still hang out with him?
alina_star: Ben Next to Michael Jackson You have the most extraordinary vocal talent is a1 planning to ever do an MJ cover and if so what song would you cover?
->Ben Adams replies: Erm.... probably Ben!! No, I think a lot of Michael Jackson tracks are untouchable.
Iccle Kimmy: Is your new single still Learn To Fly?
->Ben Adams replies: We are going to team it up with a brand new track that hasn't been heard before. Learn To Fly has been remixed and is different.
Kelly: what is the maddest thing a fans done for you? is it me I have an a1 tattoo? i had it done in febuary this year its wicked i wanna show you guys but i aint seen you yet
->Mark Read replies: That's pretty mad. We can't wait to see it! We hope it's in pride of place!!!
|jojo|: when will u people be visiting asia again?
->Ben Adams replies: Hopefully next year. We're concentrating on things here at the moment.
Iccle Kimmy: How is everything going in France?
->Mark Read replies: Really, really good. The single's just been the highest new entry in the charts at 16. The charts are very different there than here. It's very difficult for non-French speaking artists to break it there, and it looks like the single's going to go even highere next week. So thank you to all our French fans there for supporting us and helping us with our French.
Rikke: U have promissed a BIG concert here in Norway soon,but where is it? We haven`t seen one yet....
->Mark Read replies: Plans are still being made about this. We're really looking forward to it, we've done lots of little concerts there before and are looking forward to doing something big. Sometime soon.

a1-girl: Are you thinking about solo careers now?
->Christian Ingebrigtsen replies: We're very much focussed and thinking ahead on what a1 is going to do.

swe_fan: How do I know that you are my heroes, and not 3 hired guys from ''Proffice''?
->Mark Read replies: I think our fans know us better than that. We would never do that.

Jade: who came up with the idea of making a french version of "caught in the middle"?
->Ben Adams replies: It was Eve, she heard it on the radio when she was in London. She fell in love with the song and wanted to do a duet with the band who'd recorded it and it was us... so there you go.
