Is Daniel Bedingfield a New Zealander?

Yes. He just came back about a month ago and hung out with family and friends. You can trust my word - the guy is definitely a kiwi. (He is back in the UK now though...)

anyway...who cares??

No he's not now but he is originally. I love this guys voice but his looks well, I dont know?? He has such a wonderful, powerful vocal that just really makes me feel heaps of real charming shit.
Honestly he's the man for love songs & his voice is evidently so smooth from beginning to end. I love this guy & I heard him on a radio interview once he's so lovely.
He's a kiwi but Britain made him who he is..No doubt. So I would call him both.

Dude, no one cares if he's a fucking Aussie or an American or either a New Zealander

He's a retarded high nutz and even though he fucking was a New Zealander, it would say "NZ Made" on RTR.

So really Escy, you just wasted alot of time for people to read your nonsense..

GET A FUCKING LIFE MORON.

What school do you go to new guy?

....tclak??

His music certainly ain't... British solo 'garage' pop manufacturing...

so true there joh, keep it real bro.

he sed he woz a kiwi....so go him=)

huh, its like calling russell crowe, Rebecca Gibney or even General Freyburg a kiwi...they all abandoned there country and set shame upon there own people.

sam, I'm surprised you think that Freyberg 'abandon his country' and 'set shame upon his people'

he was raised in NZ from the age of two, and was a highly decorated (VC) soldier during WWI, and the most highly respected antipodean commander of WWII (a respect forged by his concern for the welfare of his troops - an attitude that was almost unheard of in the other allied forces). His desire to lead from the front saw him being wounded in battle (again) in 1942, further enhancing his repuation amongst the troops. his famous miscalculation at cassino was the obvious black mark in his book, but he had give the monks adequate time to evacuate the precious contents of the monastry, and it would have been impossible for him to know either way whether the germans were using it as a barracks or (more likely) as a highly strategic spotting point (looking, as it did, down onto the entire area the allies were advancing upon). there were plenty more historically important (and non-strategic, at that) buildings destroyed by both sides in bombing raids on major cities around Europe - freyberg shouldn't have the rest of his outstanding career besmirched by one wartime mistake. After being govenor-general of NZ for a couple of years following WWII, he did eventually 'abandon his country' by retiring to London, for the last 10 years of his life. He ultimately died from one of the wounds he'd suffered at gallipoli ruptured.

Really, the man was a legend.

//Really, the man was a legend.

Amen to that Noisy.

OK noizy, i suppose ur right, sure he was born and died in britain but he gave alot for the Services of Aotearoa New Zealand as both a confident and popular General in WWII and as Govenor-General. In fact i salute all NZ'rs who have died for there country notably in the second world war as we where a mere 2 and a half hours by air from the pacific frontline (it was the battle of coral sea which saved our countrys relatively defencesless butts as much of our men under govt. orders where too pre-occupied with defeating hitler more than General Tojos army some 1500km NW of NZ.)

no bcuz hes gay lik a auzzie

who care if hes from nz or not...i hope that he aint hes music is horrible...!!!
but thats just my opioin ne way...laters...

Man, there are some geniuses posting on this site. Thanks for all the insight guys.

Hey did you hear he had an accident around NZ somewhere. Dont quote me, I heard it but wasn't sure what I heard..

im with zaphire, if he was a New Zealander, he would have stayed in his country of origin, even if he did record it overseas, he would have come home after he finished recording and not stay in the UK, HES NOTHING BUT A TRAITOR, A BACKSTABBER TO THE PEOPLE AND HERITAGE OF AOTEAROA

anyway Daniel Beningford is just a Preppie Douchebag who lacks talent (if he had any)

//he would have come home after he finished recording and not stay in the UK, HES NOTHING BUT A TRAITOR, A BACKSTABBER TO THE PEOPLE AND HERITAGE OF AOTEAROA

is this comment applicable to shihad, neil finn and others that have recorded overseas?

what a stupid fucking thing to say, I'm pretty sure daniel beddingfield left this country when he was an infant and that he didn't have much say in the matter...

recording overseas and coming home is a different story, but abandoning there country all together and settling down in another is just wrong, its letting down there own people. they should honour there nation, sure it scool to record overseas if there aint no room or facilities in NZ but returning home after the recording prooves there loyalty to there nation.

chris/sam, d. beddingfield left when he was a kid and has spent most of his life overseas, his career is based overseas, how on earth is he dishonouring his place of birth by being based overseas? do you think the same of other kiwi artists who record and are based overseas? Should they all be brought back here to work the rice fields?

Who cares if he recorded it in NZ, in Australia, in London, or in his bedroom?

He is a great pop musician and songwriter. He has a unique sound and it's a shitload better to enjoy his music than to enjoy the majority of artificial, inane crap coming outta the US of A (Nelly, P Diddy, and all that shite.)

He was nominated for a grammy, for chrissakes, and he DID F***NG RECORD IT IN HIS BEDROOM!

he's always stated he came from New Zealand, so Daniel considers himself a Kiwi

He's currently in hospital in New Zealand after a accident over the festive session
