I’m watching the top of the pops special before I watch the documentary. I didn’t know Cee Lo Green wrote Don’t Cha and sings backing vocals on Waterfalls

I saw Eternal live not long ago, the Bennett sisters and the new French girl, they were fairly awful. The new girl was the best! (I still bopped though 🫣)

I've also seen Louise a few times and she's really good, her voice has a really pleasant tone and she still performs well. Easther was obviously an outstanding singer but she really seems to strain these days.

Every time I remember she was married to Shane from Boyzone I chuckle at the culture blend that was their wedding

I’m LOVING this. Mostly the nostalgia for a time when people didn’t have loads of fillers and other crap injected into their lovely young faces and all just looked like themselves.

Mel Blatt is not coming across at all well though. You still had a decent career and you didn’t want to be in a manufactured act, which is where the marketing that got Spice Girls into the stratosphere came from. Either you wanted the authenticity or you wanted the fame and money, but very few people in that era would be able to have both.

I’m glad Heidi is included in this. It annoys me how some Sugababes fans try to make out she wasn’t an important part

Hi all, haven't had a chance to read through the threads- has anyone seen Five yet? Just wondering is it good? Have tickets to see them in a few weeks

Just A Step From Heaven sends me into a turbo spin right back to 1994 every time I hear it 😍 what a tune. Their style in that video is still how I aspire to dress today.

They were so important to little brown girls like me.

And now Wannabe is spinning me back to a caravan holiday in the hot summer of 1996 collecting Tazos and making friends with a boy at the pool. What a time to be alive.

How dare they disrespect Heidi "Middle 8" Range! She was there for their best years.

All the old songs are literally stuck in my head now I do think it was a shame not including the Spice Girls girls aloud and the Saturdays
I do think it was really sly on Mis teeq when they label went bust they had so much more to give and I think the other two were definitely some what jealous of aleasha solo success I think the original members of Sugababes were quite boring Keisha and mutya have always had stunning voices but I don’t think it worked with Siobhan. Heidi definitely saved them or they would’ve flopped. Heidi gave them something. They hit the jackpot with her.

God these journalists are tiresome "the Spice Girls alienated older kids by becoming commercial" mate they were launched as a manufactured girl band, commercial is in the job description 🙄 they should have interviewed us lot instead.

I didn't know Pete Tong was involved in All Saints! He's still looking fine I had a sex dream about him about 25 years ago.

Never Ever still goes hard. Also look at Nicole, whew what a woman.

It's interesting how few of the early girlbands are willing to appear in this compared to the ones who followed them

Su Elise is looking gorgeous!
They didn't mention the fourth girl Zena who left during the promo of Why. I need to know more!

Just on the first episode but it seems like things we already knew or guessed, so nothing new.

Precious were possibly the best looking girlband. A band of models basically.

Also I'm not impressed at Jenny saying they came second last in Eurovision, they came 12th! Mid table is very respectable! And she also said they were dropped without mentioning this absolute banger
