As reported in Heat Magazine this week the video for the new Boyzone single, Better, shows all of the guys with partners and Stephen has been paired with a guy which is a first for a boyband music video. Let Stephen know your thoughts here and once the video is aired also let him know what you think of the video too. We'll make sure he reads the messages left here. Admin |

Hi Stephen,
Hope you're well and recovering from your trip to Asia and Australia!  It's been great reading all the articles and watching all the videos from
your promo over there - it sounds and looks like you had a great time!
I was so pleased when I saw the article in Heat magazine about the video for Better, and I'm very proud that you're paving the way yet again and making groundbreaking steps with regards to your sexuality. It's such a shame though that this has never been done before in a music video for a boyband or in a music video for many artists at all. I'd like to think we're living in an era where it's not seen as such a big deal and, hopefully, once other boybands and artists see what you've done with the video and see the positive reaction you're getting towards it, they will follow suit and feel more able to be true to themselves rather than skirting around the issue. I'd love to see Will Young, for example, paired off with a guy in one of his videos rather than simply singing to the camera like in Leave Right Now, or having a horse cast opposite him like in his video for his new single, Grace!  (although it is a fantastic video though )
Seeing the photos in Heat has made me even more excited about seeing the video on TV now, I hope we won't have to wait too long to see it. It looks like it's going to be fab and really do a very beautiful song incredible justice. And you're a very lucky guy, your video boyfriend is gorgeous! So I'm very jealous that you're getting to cosy up with him!! I really am so pleased that you're able to be true to yourself now and it's about time they gave you some eye candy lol!! Hopefully this will make up for the serious lack of male dancers on the tour! 
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know a few of my thoughts, which probably have made no sense whatsoever as it's late and I'm tired and should really be asleep by now lol. It really does make me so proud to be a Boyzone fan and so proud to be a fan of yours when I see you making groundbreaking steps like this 
Lots of love to you, Andrew and Bentley, hope you're all well 
and I hope to see you again soon,
Laura xx |

Hi Stephen how are you after your promo tour to Australia?
It was a real shame that I missed out on seeing you and the Boyz when you came to Australia but I live in Adelaide so it was'nt easy for me to get to Melbourne or Sydney to see you ... I just listened to all your radio interviews and watched you on Sunrise and the Morning show and I have to say that the 4 of you looked totally "Hot" 
Its great news tho that you could be doing concerts here in August 09 can't wait ... Anyhow I think its really great to see that you can be yourself in the "Better" video and not have to pretend or hide your sexuality ... I think that you are fantastic for who you are not what you are ... And what an absolute gorgeous guy they for you mmmhmmmm 
I can't wait to see the video as I absolutely love the song ... Love, hugs and kisses

Dearest Stephen
How are you? i hope you're doing great after your trip to Asia and Australia. Hope you enyoyed it and that you're no suffering from a jetlag too much. 
I hope Andrew is doing well too I saw the article in Heatmagazine and am happy that you can be yourself and that they paired you up with your "videoboyfriend". 
I think it's really great that Boyzone paired you up with a guy and not with a girl, so you can be yourself. BTW, he's sooooooooooooooooooo gorgeous!! 
I'm so excited about the "Better"video and can't wait to see it! I'm soooooo proud of you and Boyzone for doing the "Better"video this way, you're setting an example for the rest of the (boy)bands in the world!! I really love the song too, can't wait for it to be released. 
Stephen, i'm sooooo extremely happy that you guys are back and i hope you're going to stay for a very long time!!!! And btw, please o please o please come to Holland as well for at least 1 concert! 
I'm also very glad you guys signed a recorddeal with Universal for a brand new album! so excited about that, can't wait to hear it, but i know, i have to be patience for that lol 
I am going to 3 Boyzoneconcerts next year (London wembley and the 2 Cardiff concerts) so can't wait for that either lol, finally after 15 years i'll be able to see you live on stage! Honey i am very proud of you and i'm also very proud to be your fan! And i always will be. I love you Stephen! All my love to you and Andrew and a "paw" for Bentley  !
I'm sure Bentley will be very happy that you're back home too!
Lots of love Leandra |

Hi Stephen,
Sorry, just me again lol  Just wanted to add a little something to my
earlier post now that I've seen the video for Better
I've just watched the video online and I absolutely love it! I love the black and white look, it's really classy and sophisticated. And I think it's been beautifully shot....the clips of you and the lads with your video partners and your stunning vocals over the top....it's just absolutely gorgeous and I think it might even be my favourite video you guys have ever done! It really does the song justice and is pretty much how I imagined the video for the single should be like
I'm so glad that you're able to be yourself in the video and that you've been paired up with a guy in it....there's no way you could have done such a video otherwise...if you'd been paired up with a girl, it wouldn't have been credible or believeable. Anyway, it's got a definite thumbs up from me, I'm off to watch it again!
Take care and lots of love again to you, Andrew and Bentley

Hi stephen,
hope you are well, and the jet lag isn't to bad for any of you! lol the videos and clips we saw and heard over here you all seemed to be having fun. As for the better video, its fantastic to see you being true to your self, the world is a very different place to it was 10 years ago and thats mainly due to you, so its quite fitting that yet again its you thats paving the way for other artists. Its a shame it hasn't been done ave hre, It just shows how you've all grown up and how comfortable with your identaties. and why shouldn't you be! from what we've seen of the pictures of the video, its a very grown up video in general - the other lads are in rather intermate poses too, which i'm sure other boybands would do, but lets be honest boyzone aren't exactly a typical boyband these days are you, your all married and confendent in those relationships. so you having a video boyfriend is only a natreal follow on to being who you are. i can only echo what laura has said - I'd love to see Will Young or Mark Feehilly following you!! but i honestly think about time really!! i think its amazing that better has been made radio 2 song of the week this week and hopefully the video will get a decent amout of airplay too. by the way loving your comments on the DoI DVD !!! bless you - I'm sooo soo proud of him too - but you know that!!! Love to Andrew, bentley every one and the pets. God Bless Sammyxxxx Anyway, |

CHIIIIICCCCCKKKKEEEEENNN!!!
hey sexy sex god! just seen the new video and i love it! i think it's great that you've got a boyfriend in the video! it doesn't really phase me though whether you're with a girl or boy but i do like the fact that you've now had the oppurtunity to be with a man! i always thought that when you sing a song instead of saying "girl" or "babe" you should say boy or summit cus it would make more sense, oh and when you were on dancing on ice i thought you should have had a male partner too and he should have been doing all the lifts on ya HAHAHAHA!!! LOVE the video LOVE LOVE LOVE the song, i downloaded tom baxters version the very first time i heard it on the music channels and couldn't believe it when i found out bz were gonna cover it! SQUEEE!! hope you get some more hot totty in the next videos you do! GOOD LUCK with the new song, i'll be buying it and downloading it!!! EEK i'm so excited!! all my love & support forever and always your little fruit pastil xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxstefxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxand milky the cat  meow

Hi Stephen
,
today I saw the "BETTER"-video for the first time.  what a video! Its just beautiful to watch it... Your acting skills of you all are amazing!
I had an idea of this one. But its much BETTER than I've imagined... Your looks to your partners are very authentic and honest. You could think you are in love with your actresses/actor. ..My heart is melted and I was just stunned...  It works to me if you know what I mean! 
And the best thing of this vid is that you share the attractive looks (I'm absolutely faszinated! Very sexy!) with another man. This thing makes this
one very special...
In my point of view this is the best video of you that I've ever seen!
Well done, guys
lovely greetings to your family, your husband Andrew and your little Bentley, the rest of the bunch: Mikey, Mr. Lynch, Ro and Duster and of course to you
darling
Thanks for that beautiful moment you've given...
and
Moni from Berlin |

Hi Stephen
Big congratulations to you and the lads for creating such an amazing and unforgettable video! I saw it for the first time today and it completely took my breath away  . I think it was a lovely idea to find a (very good
looking ) 'boyfriend' for the video for you - it really made me
smile  . I really hope the single does really well - it's an
incredible song and you all perform it so well live so I'm sure it'll do fantastically well for you .
Love lots from Michelle xxx |

I have just one word, AMAZING!
Saw the video for the first time now, after I saw the update on FaceBook. Oh my God, I cried... When they show you for the first time in the video, tears came rolling down my cheeks. 
The song is awesome and the video really makes it justice. I'm really hoping for you guys to return to Sweden, we all miss you sooooo much. Take care of all of you and continue on making the songs we all love so very much! Lots of love

It's a gorgeous video, the B&W is very film noir, and it adds a nice simplistic touch to it.
I do have to say that every time I hear this song, I like it better and better.
Congrats, welcome home from your whirlwind trip and hope that you find some time to rest in amongst all the running around for the new single! elaine from boston |

I cant imagine that it will phase anyone as the world has moved on quite alot over the last 10 years. Hopefully you can now get yourself a male dancer on tour too! Toodels, Selo x |

Dear Stephen,
Without doubt BETTER is fast becoming my all time favourite song. When I first heard it I thought please, please let Stephen sing a solo! I was driving home (having just bought the CD) and when you started singing I was in floods. I had to listen to it a dozen times before I didn't well-up. I've just seen the video and WOW, so beautiful. More tears though. I think I'm on my own too much - hubby works away a lot! Well done for being yourself, we wouldn't want you any other way . Your smile melts my heart every time.
I wish you all the best, love to you and yours Keep singing and dancing Much love Nicky XXX |
