Bananarama were a great group vocally but Sara and Keren were quite stuck-up. I loved Siobhain as she was always the alternative one where her mood and attitude was like a breath of fresh air compared to that of Sara and Keren.
+aleister crowley Oh I didn't know that. These ladies are so fun to listen to unlike TLC who seemed so sad and bitter which is understandable considering what they went through.
@@aprilgosa6315 Yes, I forgot to mention them. Back in the day Malcolm McClaren was quite the Hero, especially with Buffalo Gals on the burgeoning Breakdancing Hip Hop Scene. I wonder when they did American Bandstand did they realize they were making History by being the first and only UK Girl Group to appear on the Show.
it was really nice too see all 3 of them get back together too me Bananarama will always be the 3 of them not the 2 of them so it was about time they all got back together no matter what happen in the past its was nice too see them put all that behind them for the fans
"He Was Really Saying Something" was originally done by the Lesser Known Motown Girl Group The Velvelettes who never got the Money, Fame, Glory, or Status that The Supremes, The Marvelettes, or Martha & The Vandellas got but they didn't regret it for one minute.
I remember watching Them do "Help" and I cringed and at the same time laughed. Kind of how it was on The Office which had some brilliant cringeworthy scenes.
I think that's why Siobhan left and she was the one that was more desciplined/ bit more serious than the other two, Pete Waterman said so. Siobhan was the grafter.
They knew each other longer since Little Girls. They went through more stuff. It still continues with New Edition. Rick Bell, Michael Bivins (who discovered Boyz To Men), and Ronnie Devoe aka Bell Biv Devoe perform while in another Camp, Ralph Tresvant, Johnny Gill, and Bobby Brown perform together. They like TLC can't get a recording contract.
Everyone seems to forget that The Go-Go's and Runaways were also "girl power" way before Bananarama. And there were some all girl rock bands before the Runaways too, but they never get mentioned.
Isn't it amazing they debut in 1981 and on June 15th Duran Duran release their First Album. June 15th as you know is the Birthday Of Nadine Coyle formerly of Girls Aloud.
I sometimes wonder if they looked at The Drama at The Girl Groups that came after them and want to say "Cool It". I wished that they would have talked to Popstars The Rivals or even Girls Aloud. Remind them that Pop Music Giveth & Pop Music Taketh Away.
In Comparison to Simon Cowell, Malcolm McClaren really was an amazing guy. He did The Clash (Rock The Casbah), Buffalo Gals (That he did himself), Madame Butterfly. If he had lived he would have been as successful as Simon or even Pete Waterman.
Is The Smash Show the UK Equivalent of Behind The Music for VH1. Is it me but would you say that UK Girl Groups have had less drama than their US Counterparts.
@@mjrydsfast That's such a way to look at it but after seeing The Big Reunion with B*Witched, Eternal & The Honeyz they went through their share of Drama.
I grew up in the 80s and had a love-hate relationship with this band. Adored and copied their hair (backcombed and hairsprayed) and clothes (rara skirt, tucker boots, vest tops) and some of their music was a guilty pleasure, but I absolutely couldn't stand how they behaved in interviews. Surly is an understatement. They also did a BBC show when a reporter called Paul Heiney set himself the challenge of making a music video for them. They were rude and ungrateful throughout and Heiney really struggled to cope with their whims.
Talentless then, talentless now and desperate for cash. They wouldn't even try an impromptu song in numerous interviews, even though most of their "hits" (and I use the term loosely) were covers.
RJO 911 YEAH THEY ARE TALENTLESS (THIS FIRST SENTENCE IS SARCASM) BUT HAVE LASTED 20 SOMETHING YEARS AND NEVER REALLY STOPPED PISS OFF NEGATIVE NED LOL MAYBE 30 YEARS NOW LOL
They wrote all of there songs only some of them they've done are covers but most of the songs on there albums they have written themselves only true bananarama fans would know that
