It's nice that they let Lisa Scott Lee Latchford Evans have a couple of lines each.
Poor Lisa, stuck in her high rise apartment in Dubai.
Michelle Visage was one of the main guests on Graham Norton and she mentioned how she and Faye became friends because they'd both had Giovanni as their dance partner on Strictly. Which reminded me of Michelle's AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL copy of Madonna's MTV Vogue performance. WHAT WAS SHE THINKING?

The most irritating thing about H for me is that for years he was happy to stay hidden in the closet in a relationship with the Steps manager until his career had declined to such an extent he was reduced to doing Celebrity Big Brother - he announced he was gay the day the series started. That was the series when Shilpa Shetty was racially abused by Jade Goody and H did nothing to intervene.
And then he dumped his manager boyfriend, hooked up with someone else, they spent a long time together as a couple, had twins by surrogate and had an acrimonious split shortly after.

I always hoped Lee and Lisa would hook up and have a triplets called Leigh, Scott and Evan so they'd be Leigh Latchford Evans Scott Lee, Evan Latchford Evans Scott Lee and Scott Latchford Evans Scott Lee.
Lisa's kids with Johnny Shentall from Hear'say are called Jaden and Lily.
Lisa's best friend Terri Dwyer, who tragically lost both her parents at a young age, has kids called Caiden and Kylan.

r7, I don't know about Sinoa, but I'm sure Idalis and April (especially April) have no fucks to give. I know April and Michelle hated each other the entire lifespan of their working relationship. Idalis and Michelle had a falling out after Idalis quit Seduction - she thought Michelle should have quit when Idalis did. Michelle wanted to continue with a new girl (Sinoa), so she stayed. I'm not sure if Idalis and she have patched things up or not.

A few years ago a bakery posted about Claire's mother, and how she'd ordered a birthday cake for Claire's 40th but it wasn't what she wanted.
[quote]💕Happy 40th Birthday Claire!! 💞This is the cake your mum sent back because she said it was "red", not pink (🎼nor a deeper shade of blue🎤) and that you are a celebrity. And that the doughnuts were soft (not hard like all other doughnuts...), and you are a celebrity. And you have 300k followers and are a celebrity. And if she didn't get a refund and replacement you'd be very upset because you are a celebrity with a lot of followers. It's such a 🎼tragedy🎤 because I honestly think you'd have loved this cake. I'll take a deep breath...5, 6, 7, 8...and "step" over it though BECAUSE THE CAKE IS CLEARLY PINK 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ 🎼Somethings are better best forgotten...💓🎤
When a woman has been so open about her weight and eating habits you have to wonder why her mother would request a cake that celebrates unhealthy food.

This is the first time I have heard of STEPS, and only know Michelle Visage from Drag Race and her attempt to be big in the UK by doing reality tv there. She is very clearly not a vocalist, despite being in a music group in her early days. This is just a bland, cookie cutter, auto-tuned to within an inch of its life pop song but what struck me was how old everyone was! These people are too old to be caring about the heartbreak hotel. Build a bridge and move on, bitches. Also, with all of the budget CGI all I could picture was how awkward it must have been to film. I did like that there were two gay men in the band. Are the women also gay? I couldn't watch until the end.

Michelle was a judge on Ireland's Got Talent for several seasons. She and the other judges got along great, which is rare for those types of shows. They could try putting her with Sharon Osbourne and see how that works out.

I don't mind the song, it's pretty disposable and overproduced like most pop music these days, but at least it has a hummable melody. I am also confused by the Visage hate on here, but I don't watch Drag Race either so maybe it's something she did on there. I just remember her standing up for gays on Big Brother when Perez Hilton was being such an obnoxious piece of shit.
I have to give STEPS credit for knowing exactly what kind of group they are and continuing to make a career out of it. They realised they were a nostalgia / novelty act and play up those camp elements. They're basically a meme at this point but they've made it work in spades and know not to take themselves too seriously. Probably why they still have some public visibility today. If Tik Tok had been around during their peak years, I have a feeling so many of their songs would have been huge on the platform with those simple little dances (lol). I used to love this chorus:

Steps' music is fun and I have to give them credit. They do sing live in their most recent tours and they sound really good. I think they did a lot of lip-synching in their early days but they could easily just cash the cheque and lip, but they don't. Claire may be a bitch but she can sing. And I've heard they treat their fans really well at Meet and Greets.
Their last album was really good. Scared of the Dark is a great song, as is Story of a Heart.
I'm not as crazy about their new stuff. It seems a bit faceless.

When Bananarama went back to an Aitkenless Stock and Waterman in 1992, they honed what Pete Waterman called "AbbaBanana". The album and its first two singles - Movin' On and Last Thing On My Mind weren't hits.
After 5678 was a medium hit 6 years later Pete Waterman had them re-record Last Thing On My Mind and carried on with the AbbaBanana sound.
The difference with Steps (sorry Sara, Keren and Lisa) was that Faye and Claire could really belt out a tune.

Another thing to add to R71 is that the mid 90s were when Abba ceased to be embarrassing music your parents listened to and became retro-kitsch-cool, so Steps's Abba-lite sound found a willing audience of young people.
by Anonymous | reply 72 | April 13, 2021 8:19 PM |
Bananarama released Movin' On a couple of months before Abba Gold was released, and that in response to Erasure's Abbaesque singles making #1. Abba Gold made #1 in its first week and staying in the top 10 for months, going on to become one of the best selling albums ever in the UK.
Steps recorded Movin' On for the Steptacular album (a really piss poor cover) and covered Lay All Your Love On Me and I Know Him So Well for the Abbamania album.
