The formation of the band was documented on the highly-rated television show, Popstars, aired on state run TV2 over nine weeks. The band was the first group in the world to be formed under the Popstars banner, before the concept was sold to Australia later forming the group Bardot in similar style and then on sold to continental Europe, UK and the United States.
Five unknown girls, Joe Cotton, Keri Harper, Erika Takacs, Carly Binding and Megan Alatini, were taken from obscurity to instant stardom overnight while enjoying commercial success with their #1 New Zealand single, 'Tonight'. TrueBliss was managed by Jonathan Dowling, and, briefly, by Simon Grigg, although on TV they were portrayed as being managed by Peter Urlich, one of New Zealand's most notable music gurus, and enjoyed three single releases with label Columbia, an imprint of Sony Music.
The girls signed sponsorship deals with Pepsi and Burger King before embarking on the 'Number One Tour' across 17 towns nationwide. Demand for tickets to the shows was so strong that matinee performances were put on in most venues.
'Number One' was the follow up to 'Tonight', achieving a #12 position on the New Zealand charts. Its video was, and remains to this day, the most expensive New Zealand music video. In September of 1999 a cover of the George Michael penned 'Freedom' was released but failed to chart due to changes in chart reporting. Columbia discussed a follow-up album to the platinum 11-track debut Dream in 1999, but it was never recorded. The planned first single 'We Kissed' was written by Carly Binding who then left the band in early 2000 citing personal differences. She has since gone on to record a string of hits.
South African-born Megan Cassie later married All Black Pita Alatini. She also opened a hair braiding shop in Dunedin she ran herself. In July 2006 Megan Alatini reappeared on screens in NZ Idol (taking over from Jackie Clarke who left the show after just one season) as the third judge along with Iain Stables and Frankie Stevens. She also played Java in Cloud 9's The Tribe along with her two sisters Monique Cassie and Meryl Cassie. They formed a band called Tribe Spirit. Megan is also competed on the third season of New Zealand's 'Dancing with the Stars' finishing in second place.
Carly Binding has had the most successful career afterwards scoring six top 40 hits and a gold-selling album 'Passenger' as well as donating her hit song 'This Is It' to the New Zealand AIDS Foundation's 'Love Is...' campaign. Her new album 'So Radiate' was released on 3 July 2006.
Joe Cotton was signed with TV2 to host the Thursday-Saturday 'M2' show (a graveyard shift alternative music programme). Joe left M2 (when it was cancelled in February 2003) and after appearing on 'Celebrity Treasure Island' is now a fill-in host on the C4 music channel show 'Select Live'. She has recently appeared on the shows 'The Great New Zealand Spelling Bee', 'Pop Goes The Weasel' and 'Celebrity Joker Poker'. She now hosts her own show on the New Zealand radio station "The Edge". She was also the vocal coach for Boyband and did backing vocals on their b-side Pour Some Sugar On Me from their chart-topping single You Really Got Me.
Erika Takacs hosted the weekly 'Coke RTR Top 20' show which was cancelled after two seasons. Her contract with the chain store Video Ezy expired at the same time. However she continues to appear on celebrity shows and was signed to Sony for a single 'Do It' which remains unreleased.
Keri Harper kept the lowest profile post-TrueBliss although a song called 'Atmosphere' was produced by Che Fu it has never been released. She has also had cameos in the finale song of the 2002 "Coca Cola Christmas in the Park" (Auckland performance) and, in 2005, in the series final of the charitable show So You Wanna Be A Popstar? with all other True Bliss members except Binding. Keri has continued with theatre work including a stint with Michael Barrymore in Joseph And The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.
In 2007, both Joe and Keri are competing in Pop's Ultimate Star. Keri was the first contestant to be eliminated. Joe Cotton went on to win this competition.

(Ananda) - 320 sec The Netherlands Sathya Sai Choir sings:
ANANDA
Human life should begin with faith and end in bliss (Ananda).When you have no faith, how can you attain happiness? Increase your faith in God and attain peace (Shanti). Through truth experience God. God is bliss. The experience of divinity is true bliss (Ananda).
Bliss is with you. Bliss is in you. It is behind you, above you, below you and all around you. When you are immersed in bliss, what is it that you need to search? The way to experience this bliss is what I mentioned in the beginning--bend the body, mend the senses, end the mind. This is true culture. Have faith in this culture, lead a pure and meaningful life and attain the goal of human life.
"The real Truth emanates from the heart, Man is not a product of the external word. He has come from the Divine. You are Divine! Develop this conviction".
"Bend the body, mend the senses, end the mind. The first step is to 'bend the body.' That means you should not allow the ego to develop within your body. Cultivate humility and do your duties sincerely.
This is what is implied in 'Bend the body.' 'Mend the senses' calls for examining how the senses behave, whether they are tending to go astray, and correcting and restraining them when necessary. 'End the mind' calls for quietening the vagaries of the mind'. How is this to be done? It is by turning the mind in a different direction. For example, there is a lock and a key. When the key is turned towards the left the lock gets locked. If the key is turned towards the right the lock is opened. Thus the key performs both the functions of locking and unlocking. In man, the heart is the lock. The mind is the key. When the mind is turned Godward the heart develops detachment. When the mind is turned towards the world, the heart develops attachment. Thus both detachment and attachment result from the way the mind functions. When the mind is directed towards the phenomenal world, bondage ensues. When you turn the mind towards Divinity, you experience BLISS. 'End the mind' means turning the mind Godward. All you have to do is to dedicate every action of yours to the Divine. Then everything becomes easy and a source of BLISS.
Sathya Sai Baba
"Rama, Krishna, Jesus, Allah, Mazda, Buddha these are names of the Many-faceted One. When you pay attention to one facet, the rest are not neglected or negated. When the devotee dives into the flood of Bliss which One Name-Form confers, he is diving into the same ocean of Bliss that the Full is. The waters of this ocean are not separated by lines drawn on them to demarcate "this God's Region" and "that God's Region". Plunge anywhere, you are plunging into the self-same Bliss."
Sathya Sai Baba
When you try to prepare a meal, you may have with you all the materials and ingredients you need but unless you have the fire in the hearth, you cannot cook and make an edible meal out of it. So too with life, Jnana (spiritual wisdom) is the fire which makes the material world and the external activities, edible and tasty, healthy and joyful. That joy is called Ananda; it is uplifting, it is illuminating, it is constructive. Iha-nivaasam (life in the world) is for Para-praapthi (attaining salvation). That is to say, life 'here' is for the sake of reaching 'there'
Sathya Sai Baba
How can anyone explain that Cosmic Consciousness? It's like trying to measure the sky with a twelve-inch ruler. Our measuring instruments the mind and the vocabulary - are very, very limited. All we can say is, "It's something blissful."
In that blissful state you always experience joy. You never get disturbed by anything. You never feel any anxiety or worry or fear. In that state of Cosmic Consciousness, there is no fear at all because you see everything as the same: one essence expressed as many. You learn to accept everything as part of the different expressions. In that state there's no friend, there's no enemy; it is all the same.
We often see images of God with one hand raised, the palm icing outward. That is the hand of fearlessness. The other hand will be pointed down, again with the palm outward. What is He telling us? "If you humble yourself and take refuge at my feet, you have nothing to fear."
Attaining the feet of the Lord means attaining God-Consciousness. When you have that God-Consciousness, you know that everything is God, no matter what it looks like. Then why should we be afraid of anything? The Bhagavad Gita says it beautifully: "Who is a great sage? The one who neither brings fear to anyone, nor is afraid of anyone." Such a person is a person with that supreme, infinite God-Consciousness.

"Freedom" was released in 1984, becoming the group's second UK #1 hit.
Wham! had already enjoyed a successful 1984 by the time Freedom was issued in the autumn of the year. Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go had given them their first UK #1 and had then reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in the USA. George had then gone to #1 with a solo single, Careless Whisper.
Freedom, a largely uncontroversial song, was #1 in the UK for three weeks and featured on the album Make It Big, which was issued at the same time. Of Wham!'s four UK #1 singles, Freedom sold the fewest copies.

[iCon the Mic King reading passage Jude 1:9:]
"Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil
And arguing about the body of Moses.
Dared not bring against him an abusive condemnation
But said, "May the Lord rebuke you! "
[iCon the Mic King:]
Swing the chariot low - my wings melted on re-entry
Archangel turned Azazel - hateful spawn of the intrigue
Six-ty cycle hum and haw - over "what is God? "
Corrupted judge of flaws? or function above your thought?
'Til the puzzle's solved - I hit below the Bible belt
Take oaths with my left hand - write "Michael" with my right as well
Science fails - to explain what astounds all
Men of the cloth stay cloaked in the shroud of torren-tial downpours
From now on - it's raining catechisms and dogmas
Tetragrammaton atom bombs with' the magnetism of karma
For armor - I hide under umbrella statements
Slipping over good intentions the road to Hell is paved with
And glass stained with blood of supposed witches
Thin line between heretics and clerics in this bowl of fish
It's true - bliss accompanies ignorance
So it's heaven for the weather, hell for the company benefits
[Chorus: iCon the Mic King]
There's no me, there's no you
No dark, there's no light
No cause, there's no effect
No wrong, there's no right
I - was born in Black August
With a halo and a torch the beer
Law & Order
No action, there's no reaction
No life, there's no death
No question, there's no answer
No right, there's no left
I - was born in Black August
With a halo and a torch the beer
Law & Order
[iCon the Mic King:]
My cup runneth over blood of soldiers
Spilled within a clutch of cobras
Seraphim's wearing hymns, stuck up in a crux, a coma
Noah's Ark, was the survival of the fittest
So Darwin, bless America created in his image
Sacred is his limit
Vitruvian man in the mirror
Complete with a crown of thorn as payment for his penance
Forgive us our trespasses like God heeds advice
My hand-me-down genes was spliced with Jesus Christ
This old fashion statement falls to exegesis
I'm Mr. Fantastic, if God was to fisticuffs
Will eclipse the Sun if you want, scrap - please advise
This for the Angel he assigned the catalog my every thought
'Til I'm defied, I'm speaking in tongues and cheek
I bury seed from the forbidden fruit - up sprung a tree
That I plucked to feed original sinycism
God made men, once man made God from myth and fiction
[Chorus: iCon the Mic King]
There's no me, there's no you
No dark, there's no light
No cause, there's no effect
No wrong, there's no right
I - was born in Black August
With a halo and a torch the beer

No action, there's no reaction
No life, there's no death
No question, there's no answer
No right, there's no left

Killah Priest niggas
[Killah Priest:]
If y'all truly knew my inner thoughts
All my backstabbing enemies would walk
Satan whispers "Well I'm a stick-up his cross"
Cold frost appear out my nostrils
Look what y'all did to his beloved Apostle
They threw stones
Sharp teeth up their large tooth to his bone
If y'all truly had known since the day of his baby chair
'Til the day he grew to a throne
Space was his birth place
From a nation of Kings to a curse race
Felt the evil blood going thicker to his gene's every birthday
Every nation wanna be in first place
The old lady reaches from her purse gave -
The last she had to a Pastor
Planned one day she'll see the master
When she will after the Reaper grabs her
Priest and iCon complete this chapter
Receive the glory - then read their story
Iron fold the triumphed soul define the applying hole
[Chorus: iCon the Mic King]
There's no me, there's no you
No dark, there's no light

Freaky! Freaky! Freaky!
Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
You gotta get down 4 Jesus, baby!
Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
You gotta get down 4 Jesus, baby!
There's something that you should know.
I'm desperate to save your soul.
From a choice that you can not choose.
To be gay is to only lose.
I want you to avoid sin
By lusting after hot men.
If you change then you'll do well
Or else you will go to hell!
Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
You gotta get down 4 Jesus, baby!
Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
You gotta get down 4 Jesus, baby!
Is there happiness being a slut?
Feeling guilty after doin the butt?
True bliss is down a woman's pants.
You'll never know til you give it a chance.
I know you think hot twinks are yum
As well as jocks and frat boys dumb.
But you have got to stay away.
On your knees! Pray the gay away!
Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
You gotta get down 4 Jesus, baby!
Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
You gotta get down 4 Jesus, baby!
So you like 3ways, check out my Holy Trinity.
Going to Heaven's not just a luxury amenity.
Forget the Bathhouse! Let Jesus wash your feet.
If you're on the downlow, well Jesus is discreet.
So obsessed with muscles and prancing at the gym.
Put down the disco, honey, and memorize a hymn!
Mething at White Party or drunken at the bars.
Partying won't lead you to the castle in the stars!
If you're into leather, bondage, S&M
Check out the crucifixion. It was just like them!
Or maybe it is fashion, drag queens fierce and tranny.
Well, Koreans go to Heaven, too. I'm sure you'll get a manny.
It was God who made the rainbow after floating Noah's arc.
No rainbows or salvation will be found cruising the park.
Those divas may be fabulous. It may be fun to screw.
But give up on that lifestyle. Tell me What Would Jesus Do?
Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
You gotta get down 4 Jesus, baby!
Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
You gotta get down 4 Jesus, baby!
Genesis, Exodus, Ecclesiastes.
My husband parts my legs like Moses parts the seas.
Leviticus, Romans, and 1 Corinthians.
You listen to those verses and you know your lives are sins.
Matthew, Mark, Luke, John.
The glories of the Bible just go on and on and on
From the Garden of Eden to the Revelation.
I'm gonna spread sweet Jesus all across the nation.
Ladies who are done with lez.
Men who know their life's a mess.
Don't just stand there. Let's get to it.
Pray to Jesus. There's nothing to it.
Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
You gotta get down 4 Jesus, baby!
Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
You gotta get down 4 Jesus, baby!
Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
You gotta get down 4 Jesus, baby!
