Finally there's been an announcement for the 2007 line up. A new guy called Steven has joined the group. This is taken from his official bio:
Steven pursued music from an early age, and graduated from the Central Queensland University Conservatorium of Music with a Bachelor of Music Theatre in 2004. Steve has played leading roles in Aspects of Love, Chess, Chicago, Kiss Me Kate and Footloose.
In 2006, Steven completed an extended contract performance in the Broadway Musical Theatre Revue 'Encore' at Japan's Tokyo DisneySea.
Steven is delighted to be the most recent addition to The Ten Tenors, and eagerly anticipates performing to The Tenors' legion of devoted fans!
Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing him perform and am corious to find out what he sounds like. So what do you think about his addition to the group? Do you think Steven will ever be able to fill Burce's shoes (who he steps in for)?
Besides Steven's arrival there has been another line up change. Dom who left TTT in summer 2005 is now back as swing tenor, or 'alternate' as they call them now. That means he'll be on stage only if one of the 'regular' tenors is ill or on holiday or needs a break for whatever reason. |

He's cute and will probably be really great, But I am VERY biased and still love Burce. 
Also Is Dom a swing with Shorty? or is shorty elsewhere?
I'll go look on the Os I think.
Thanks for posting this nadine |

Even though you've already found out yourself 
Shorty has been in the regular line up since January, Jeff is the second swing with Dom, but according to the OS he'll only make a few appearances through the year. |

yeah i looked on OS
It's great that Shorty is now a proper TTT and not just swing but I'd still like Jeff to be proper too.
But I'll give Steven a chance |

I think Steven will do a good job. so I'm looking forward to seeing him sometime or another performing. Anyway, I don't think Steven should be compared to Burce in any way because he can be as great as him even if he is very different 
And I'm also happy that Shorty is in the regular line-up now, but Jeff will be missed a lot. 
Anyway, welcome Steven! And welcome back Dom!
Cheers, Julia |

I wouldnt compare him to Burce. They are all individuals and all have a talent of singing and let their own personalitlies shine thru.
Burce (even tho he's gone tho) is still my fave But I have DVDs to keep my Burce levels up.
And now I know the new line up, Im looking forward even more to my TTT concert in April. |

Yeah, I have the HTTH DVD, but unfortunately I still don't have the Larger Than Life DVD. Is it good?
So which concert will you visit in April? |

Yeah Larger then life's good. And I managed to get One is not enough on dvd too. Ebay is a star lol. I'm obsessed with the dodgy dancing on the more upbeat songs. But I love the classical stuff too.
I'm going to 2 concerts, but cant tell you where they are as I dont know lol. One's on the 6th but I cant remember the date of the 2nd  |

Well, I think I have to buy the LTL DVD sometime. Or perhaps I'll get it also as a present... would be even better 
Is the One is not enough DVD no longer available or why did you buy it on ebay? |

The OINE DVD is still available, but only in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, not in the UK.

The second one is on the 11th. So the concerts are in Leipzig and Dresden.  |

Ah, good that it's still available in Germany!
So you're travelling from the UK to Germany to see the concerts? Must be really expensive!  But they are for sure happy and proud to have fans who are so devoted and who travel so far just to see them! |

That's absolutely right, they are worth a long travel because the shows seem to be really fantastic!
I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that I can see one of the concerts...  |
