Post a forgotten boyband hit

[POP!]

Aren't two of them dead?

Oh apparently this is true I was thinking of Rich Cronin

 

[VoR]

Apparently this lot remain popular to this day in Australia. I remember this one quite well - it's the most ludicrously shameless N'sync rip-off, but quite convincingly done...

 

[COB]

You're all going way too high profile. This thread is for the DREGS

Case in point THIS load of old rope! I can only assume poor keyboard boy was some record exec's son. There is literally no other explanation.

I remember they had a CBBC sitcom as well - I sort of respected that they had a 'normal' looking nerdy one, though not enough to buy the single

 

[Tisch]

Surprised this one doesn't come up more often on 90s and nostalgia playlists. I've always really liked it. Hugely dated now of course.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

No way!

 

[Tisch]

RaspberrySwirl has me on ignore?

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

We posted it at the same time!

Edit: or at least it wasn’t there when I was about to post it.

 

[ButterTart]

I genuinely fucking love this song

 

[Music]

I genuinely fucking love this song

Same, it is a banger!

 

[ButterTart]

Also this is one of the best songs of the 90s in general and I will physically fight anyone who alleges different:

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

I don’t know if the forgotten part is about the group or the song but this one feels forgotten (wasn’t even a big hit here) but I did like it a lot at the time:

 

[ButterTart]

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

 

[Queen of the Bay]

 

[jyxz]

 

[Rhythmbarbican]

Briefly huge in the states if I remember correctly.

 

[Ellie]

Loved this and had the album

 

[Haiku]

 

[Haiku]

I think they were more popular in the Nordics and Asia-Pacific countries than the rest of Europe? Always had a soft spot for this one of theirs:

Years later finding out it is a remake and rewrite of that Danish potential Eurovision entry hasn't changed my opinion.

 

[Rhythmbarbican]

Diddy's reality tv boyband who were surprisingly not shit

 

[Marilyn]

Apparently this lot remain popular to this day in Australia. I remember this one quite well - it's the most ludicrously shameless N'sync rip-off, but quite convincingly done...

I absolutely ADORE this song, shamelessness never sounded this good

Not only are they still popular here, they carved out a career in Las Vegas and have been performing there for a decade

 

[Inner Smile]

[jyxz]

What was the one with Noddy Fishwick in?

 

[Ill Advised]

I don't know if it was ever known in the first place let alone forgotten, but I love this non-MMMBop Hanson smash

A classic

One I was reminded of by watching Celeb Karaoke Club.

 

[Ellie]

One I was reminded of by watching Celeb Karaoke Club.

Their better effort

 

[Rita]

One of my favourite boyband songs.

 

[lolly]

I'd have gone for Hear Me Calling, but yes.

 

[Rita]

Their better effort

They were all pretty TERRIBLE. Worst “boyband” ever.

 

[Ill Advised]

One I was reminded of by watching Celeb Karaoke Club.

I love that show (but also hate it. Olivia Attwood. WTF!)

 

[funky]

As GLOOPY as this is I always thought it was sung beautifully and probably the first time I gave them a break and thought OKAY YES YOU CAN SING


N*Sync were so strange because they're probably the only boy band where the pretty ones are the best singers. What's the point of the other 3? They could have just been a duo.

 

[Ellie]

N’Sync were the weirdest looking boy band style wise. Even then they looked plain ODD.

 

[Marilyn]

*NSYNC's loyalty to Chris Kirkpatrick is sort of admirable, he founded the group but was pushing 30 by the time they were having major success, and... obviously didn't quite have that classic boyband look

I can't help but feel if it was a girl group they would've been pressured to get rid quicker than the Dixie Chicks had to dump their original lead singer (who was in her 40s)

 

[Diddy]

Came in here with a few names on my mind, only to see their other releases were posted - V8 in particular


I love a classical sample in a pop song - even if probably most of the fans thought it was an Apprentice sample

 

[Diddy]

I wish Phixx had gotten a bit more mileage, even though from the jump there was a whiff of desperation with the bad boy one getting his arse out (but only for S&M so it’s ok). They got my gay gaze for sure.

but this should’ve been a hit
The model looking one has a nice voice, what were the others for?

 

[Diddy]

Also this is one of the best songs of the 90s in general and I will physically fight anyone who alleges different:

not sure if it’s one of the best 90s songs but definitely one of the MOST 90s songs and gives me warm fuzzies of nostalgia just thinking about it

 

[Diddy]

isn’t this just that Nikki Webster song but performed by Hanson and styled by.. a 90s video game commercial?
