Boybands Forever

I loved the combats and vest top combo that All Saints wore, it was a staple look for me.
I found it refreshing to see how fresh faced they looked, no fillers etc, candid photos without filters. Makes me sad in a way the way things have changed but I don’t know if that’s just me getting old!
I’d still dress like them now if I could- and Mel C- but alas, being a kid of the 90s, I can’t get past body image problems enough to try out their look 😣 They did a boybands tour a few years ago, they should do a girl band one- I’d love to take my little one! Or a musical- I get my fix of nostalgia, and she gets exposure to songs other than K Pop Demon Hunters 🤪

Do you mean The Big Reunion?
 
Agreed about the lovely filler-free faces we had back then. Any girl band that would come along now would be botoxed/filled and styled to perfection, a la Love Island wannabes.

A poster mentioned the styling for Eternal on Just a Step from Heaven video, but they looked amazing too on their TOTP performance of Stay, in their chic black ensembles :love:👌 I would love to try and recreate each of their looks.

Kerry Katona really was such a pretty young girl. She clearly had heaps of charisma too in person. I was sad when she said she spent loads of time in the pubs with her mother from a young age. I could only imagine all the creepy older man she would’ve had coming on to her. 😞

I didn’t think Melanie Blatt came across that badly. I liked the way she told it straight and she was very respectful to her band mates, even though they didn’t like each other in the end. Nice to see that they are still good mates now though.

I’m looking forward to the ‘girl band’ film with Shaznay, Mel C and Ashley Roberts.

In her book she talks about her mum Sue’s childhood. Her own mum took to her a pub when she was a teenager, left her there when she went to the toilet, and then she found out she had took money from a group of men to have her for the night.

She does say whatever faults Sue had that she never would have done anything so awful to Kerry

The girls did it too. Atomic Kitten, B Witched, Honeyz, and Liberty X
Oh maybe not that one I’m thinking about then- I’ve seen B*Witched loads because they used to support Boyzone and Westlife a lot! 🤣 I think Atomic Kitten cancelled a gig I was supposed to see them do a fair few years ago- don’t think I’ve actually seen them🤔 You forget how many bands there actually were around the same time 🤣

Just to clarify - her mam paid the men, or they paid her?
 
Kimberley Walsh was just on Good Morning Britain. She said they were approached to take part in the Girlbands documentary, but they were on such a high and in a good place off the back of the recent reunion tour that they didn’t want to go over the negative aspects as they weren’t in that negative place, hence why they turned it down

Still odd there wasn’t at least an honorary mention in the doc though
I would’ve thought they would’ve wanted to be a part of it. It’s the first of its kind and lots of other well-known bands have taken them apart. I don’t think it’s a negative side. I think it’s just collective nostalgia and talking about their feelings at that time as being a part of pop culture.

They seem to get on now but wasn’t there always a divide between Cheryl, Nicola, Kimberley being really close and issues with Nadine. Maybe they didn’t want to have to think about this kind of stuff. Weird they couldn’t be mentioned though

Yes there’s always been that bad. I always think they do not want to talk about anything like that to keep the prestige and polish up. Nothing bad or negative has ever been publicly sad about what has happened between them in the past but there must’ve been fights
Cheryl was definitely the ring leader

I think Nadine and Kimberley were close at the start but then she got close to the other two

If you ever watched the series they had out (circa 2006 I think)you'll see Nadine wasn't as close to them
