Steps - General Discussion

[Vasilios]

Those european promo trips were such a waste of time.

I should dig up the performance they did in the Starmaker house (basically Star academy) for a crowd of 10 people who tried really hard to pretend they cared for Steps.

The colour video for I Said Goodbye makes it feels like a brand new video. Does it have some new shots in there too? I know the beginning is new, but throughout, it looks like some unseen footage to me?

i have play both side by side and aside from the beginning (and the color) the videos are identical

Not seen this before

So much for them disliking each other and not getting on in their final year as you get Lee laughing at something either Faye or Claire did next to him, H trying to make Lisa laugh and Faye laughing at something H did at the end of the performance. If you watch the Sky Living documentary you get the impression in 2001 they all didn’t get on in Steps world, so it shows how much is taken over the top or made up in the sky reunion show for drama

You can’t base a year’s worth of working together on one performance that will have been at the start of that year.

How's this

This is perfect.

Exactly - even on the night of the letters, they were still laughing and joking because they had to put up a front as a band.

Where manufactured 90s pop groups trained in the art of subtle playful joking banter and messing around with each other like they are mates though? They seem like off the guff genuine little playful moments when I see any pop group do this not part of what they rehearsed? I know these pop groups have to look like they are friends to fans but to what extent ?

I mean, they have to pretend to like every single fan and interviewer they meet too, so it's a pretty big part of the job. And there's a whole world between being the best of friends and 'hating eachother so much they can't even smile when they're around eachother'.

(Also I think it's quite natural that once you're fed up with someone you tend to think of all the bad moments before that as if it was all bad instead of thinking 'oh yeah, we did have a laugh x weeks ago')

I guess so see what your saying! I do remember things like Claire saying ‘they where barely even speaking towards the end’, Lee wanting to push H up against a wall and punch him at parts in the sky living documentary so it did sound bad in the group

 

[Mvnl]

There's a whole DVD worth of them not pushing H of the stage despite him having just resigned and going 'ooh ooh' for 90 minutes straight. I think they're pretty good at putting on a smile for the show.

The black and white video is coming tomorrow at midday.

This is great. Although I thi6the colour one will now be my go to.

 

[Mvnl]

I don’t think a ‘go to version’ for When I Said Goodbye is a thing for me but it’s great that they’re not replacing the original like it never existed

Steps really do give the gays everything they want.

Apart from a video for slightest touch (I’ll never get over this).

*almost everything

Here's the full performance of You'll Be Sorry on TOTP!



They cut the intro and second verse/chorus from the original broadcast, but they showed the whole thing later on TOTP Plus.

I cannot seem to watch this as i get this error " Unable to play this video at this time. The number of allowed playbacks has been exceeded. Try again later."
