I’ve spent a good hour reading this thread and OMG my Apple Music is now full of dodgy 90’s/00’s songs
A few observations-
Worlds Apart. I was utterly obsessed with them and bunked off school a couple of times to see them but when I watched them on an old TOTP the other day and I was saying to my husband not only did I not recognise any of them I can’t remember which one I liked
Halo James- my sister and cousin took me to a signing because I loved the singer, I was about 9, but we didn’t get to meet him for some reason ( I can’t remember why)
Point Break- loved them! I vaguely recall queueing to meet them at HMV in Newcastle; but again I can’t remember which one I liked!
Let Loose- omg I was so in love with Lee. (I think I’ve got something about boy band/band members called Lee as I absolutely love Lee from Steps and Lee from Blue) Myself and a school friend were taken by said school friend’s mum to see them in concert at Sunderland Empire. I think maybe I was probably about 14? We waited outside afterwards for them and they literally had to push through this massive crowd of girls. It was absolutely wild- they had little or no security and these girls were literally grabbing at anything they could- I lost my friend in the melee and while I was a big girl and not easily moved I was getting pushed around and I literally fell and grabbed onto someone to steady me- that someone was Lee
he was wearing this ridiculous flimsy frilly white shirt that was half open and my hand landed on his chest
i still remember to this day his skin was really warm
Upside Down- omg I loved them! I googled them and
was trying to figure out which one of them 15 year old me would have liked and nope I can’t figure it out
Bad Boys Inc- I was hopelessly in love with Ally. I think it was the accent
he’s a proper serious sports journalist now and he replied to my tweet once wishing me a happy birthday (I think he had tweeted about a great footballer who shared my birthday and I said it was my birthday that day too so he replied- the 13 year old me would have absolutely lost her head over that and the 39 year old me was quite chuffed too
)
Blazin Squad- I was a proper big fan- I was probably way too old to be though
I loved Kenzie. I followed them up and down the country, I did some proper mad stuff in pursuit of them
I remember they hated David Sneddon- they had a song called Anything (which was allegedly about haters being crap) and they did a performance where they sang ‘Sneddon you’re anything, anything’
My favourite song of theirs was We Just Be Dreaming- I was even on their DVD, in a naff top from Bay Trading that I thought I looked great in (I didn’t) and I had curlers in my hair (not even proper curlers, I couldn’t afford them- they were pipe cleaners
) I still do love Kenzie though. He is very definitely a DILF
