They were a Scottish band. Think the song was called Cinderella you’re talking about but can’t find a video for that one sorry.

I’ve quoted you again lol I’m listening to make it good whilst I clean Such a good album on this ain’t what love is about. Paul’s vocals really come through on the album, I love their other albums but they were pure cheese lol
It's such a good bloody album. Currently listening to If I Can't have You on a playlist, honestly one of my all time faves x

You have no idea how long I'd been looking for the name of this band, failed Google searches, friends not having a clue what I'm talking about.

Found this thread, scoured in hope and found! You're officially my hero!

Anyone remember BON? They had a song called boys. I seem to remember the video being as camp as anything. Catchy but the singer sounded like every generic Europop act ever.

Oh my god I had totally forgotten about this but I LOVED this song! The video is very odd, his mouth doesn’t match the lyrics half the time. It’s like he didn’t speak English and they tried to cut the video to make it look like he did lol.

I think it was originally recorded in German and they released an English version later, so presumably they just dubbed the English version over the original video.

I loved ‘Killin Time’ and that other one she did with Sash!, ‘Mysterious Times’.

Rik Waller, a big guy who was on 1st season of Pop Idol, made it to the top 10 based on viewer votes then mysteriously dropped out and was replaced by Darius Danesh. I was convinced he was paid by Cowell to leave the show, out of fear that he was going to win the whole thing.

He released an album and 2 singles, one of which went top 10. The album must have flopped as all went quiet after that but he resurfaced on Channel 5 "Back to Reality" show with Jade Goody and some other ex reality tv stars.

I read an article about him last year!! He'd been an exam invigilator, but is now a driver delivering meals!!

Ooh that's an interesting theory, I was far to young and naïve back then to think that, and it was the first show of its sort.

Wasn't the official line that he was sick...? Much like Lucy Spraggon.

I think so yeah, I vaguely remember something about being sick but it was never elaborated on, all a bit fishy.

Does anyone remember a girl group called The 411, they had a song called Dumb. I loved that song
Yes and apologies if anyone’s already replied and said it but they also had another hit, which I preferred, called On My Knees.

Daphne and Celeste had a few songs, I remember Ooh Stick You and U.G.L.Y you ain't got no alibi, you ugly

Anyone remember the Allstars? They had a CITV show where they would sing their songs.

Plus the shite cover with their own lyrics of School’s Out! Daphne and Celeste were horrid as well. Met them backstage at a Party in the Park event and they were so up their own backsides it was unreal.

I was obsessed with this

Great sample of Walter Murphy’s A Fifth of Beethoven from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack in that one. I remember Radio 1 playing it a lot at the time.

Poor Little Boots, IIRC she came out around the same time as Pixie Lott and had a lot of hype around her….Pixie absolutely trounced her though.
