"The New Generation" International TV Series cast members came right out of Australia's long running TV series "Young Talent Time" (aka "YTT")
The New Generation (ages 14-17)
Members (oldest to youngest):
Vince Del Tito
Born: 10-19-1970
He left Australia's YTT show in 1988 and was asked to return for the International "The New Generation" series the same year. A segment of "TNG" featured his very first performance ever on Australia's "YTT" at age 12 when he sang, "Simple Simon Says" for which Beven was also dancing in the background.
Beven Addinsall

Lorena Novoa

Dannii Minogue
Born: 10-20-1971
She left Australia's YTT show in 1988 and was asked to return for the International TNG series the same year. With her gorgeous stand out looks, Dannii became the most popular of the females with fans. Her performance of Michael Jackson's "Dirty Diana" is one of the show's most memorable number. Out of all "TNG" show's cast members as well as the Australian "YTT" series, Dannii acquired the most fame and became a huge star known all over the world.
Natalie Miller

She was known as the youngest of the cast members of "The New Generation"
Keith
Born: ?
Keith was not with the group that long so there is not much information on him to be found. (Will post more info as info is found. His name seems to be Keith Williams.)
Just to let you know I have a behind the scenes article on "The New Generation". Keith Williams he was born 29 September 1972 in Los Angeles. His dad (Ray) sings in a famous group called "The Coasters". He has a sister Keisha and brother Reggie. He went to school with good mate Kirk Cameron. He appeared in Hill Street Blues, Designing Women and Our Home. Hope this helps.
ReplyDeleteIt's tough when he has a very common name . I always every YTT singer to have a career like Dannii or Tina Arena .
DeleteWatching YTT the neighbours special showed a Michael Young hosted USA promo with Tim instead of Keith . Michael said Craig had the right surname so he must've though Craig's surname was Young the same as his. What happened in America because New Gen without Tim and with Keith started here in Australia.Was it shown in USA ? There also already Kids Inc. With future stars like Martika and Fergie .
DeleteI think Keith Williams is in Dannii Love and Kisses video
ReplyDeleteI think there were 5 over 16 and would've been asked to leave YTT .lorena,bevin,mark,Vince Dannii. Natalie was 13 or 14 in 1987. Did they all get final ep shows ? I only know Dannii did.very sad.
