How did the fans get to 'be in the video' for You'll Be Sorry? Was it a competition or something? Whilst I think I can sort of see the angle, they were going to be going with it, I think I prefer it without the fans in the video. I imagine it was going to be case of Steps appearing on the turntable and it turned into a space club/bar/disco sort of setting, and perhaps less on the more generic space/intergalactic theme they went with? I'm happy though that we got to see the footage of it being filmed, and that fans who were invited down finally have some footage to remember and look back on! Oh, and if they want to do a 2022 video with all their fans, can you count me in?! What a day that'd be!

It was a competition I think yes, we had to be there very early and had hair and make-up done. Lots of waiting around and some people had travelled many miles to london to get there. To then do one take and be sent home was a little gutting. They did organise a small performance for the fans to say sorry, but unfortunately it was on my birthday and I already had plans booked so couldn’t go - so I don’t know anything about that
It might’ve worked if they’d told the fans to wear red and black or something, but yeah, the dancing with no purpose is awkward.
I imagine the green/blue would be due to green/blue screen to not cause an transparent body. Red not to clash with the bands colours
And black probably would make them disappear against the background which, looking at the average outfit, might be another reason it got cut
Definitely hoping they do something special like updated/steve anderson versions. Think it will be gutting if we do get the standard songs we have purchased again and again over the years with a few additional songs. We have received digital editions with extra content in the past so maybe they are keeping that up their sleeves until release week to ensure that grab the #1 spot
I don't want to be awful but surely there was never any intent to include you all in the final video? We get lost in a maze, find each other, it turns into a UFO, we dance in space and... 23 un-matching children doing whatever the hell they like with no direction appear? It doesn't seem plausible.
Going to be controversial, so excuse me in advance, but this track listing is near pop perfection, however, I’d be more than happy if they left out ‘When I Said Goodbye’, ‘Words are not Enough’, ‘I Know Him So Well’ and ‘Too Busy…’. Everything else flows perfectly and it walk to wall with bangers! A great track listing an idea for a double album.
So you can get on board with a maze turning into a UFO and dancing in space but 23 children with no direction appearing doesn't seem plausible?
When I Said Goodbye is amazing especially the Steve Anderson version and I will not hear a word against it. The other 3, yes please omit.
Fair. Early 2000's, cut-throat managers doing it all to keep fans invested with no intention of ever including them in the video seems more plausible.
