The tragic irony with Girl Thing is that a number eight chart debut is actually a really solid basis from which a girl band can build a career - The Saturdays' debut single went in at number eight, Sugababes' peaked at number six, and Atomic Kitten's first single only made number ten. The mistake was that their promotional campaign was just too much too soon, and while that might have worked in, say, America or some Asian nations, we cynical Brits just saw it all and went: "wouldnt it be hilarious if this group flopped lol"
Atomic Kitten was about to be dropped by their record label before 'Whole Again' saved them. A number 8, in the UK alone at that, isn't enough for Simon Cowell.
It's a shame, because their album was a pretty good pop album. Strangely enough, this debut single was weak compared to a lot of the tracks on it. That may have been part of the problem.
Found this song yesterday after more than a double decade of searching...it was hard to find when the only line you know is 'we're the last one standing'😂 (9th dec'23)
I was searching for this as well. it turns out that you need to use VPN to change your location in order to find this music video. good thing its now available in my location.
I was there when they were first around. I loved them and bought their second single 'Girls on Top'... however big they weren't. Just like similar disposable girl groups of the era that I also remember - Supersister, Femail, Buffalo G, Vanilla.....
Not even sure how I ended here! The songs a bop though not herd it for years that little dance break is low key a serve! The red haired girl and the one in the middles execution was on point!
Please make this video available in Australia!! Had to come all the way to Germany to watch this clip :( this song went Gold in Australia - and no where else! :)
After just seeing Linzi on the X Factor, I had to listen to this again. Can't believe it's been 14 years. It came out when I was 9. Loved it then and still love it now at 23! :)
Simon Cowell knocked back the spice girls and obviously was pissed about the fact they ended up a major success, so decided to make girl thing. I think for the girls In this band, who were talented, it did them a disservice trying to emulate the spice girls instead of singing songs that that fit them better I still loved this song at the time.
It's very obvious they were trying to match Spice girls...but we already had SG so this wasn't going to work..Plus spice girls were more diverse in terms of ethnicity, us black girls loved mel b!!
I can’t BELIEVE it’s been more than 20 yrs since this wow , only I was 18 going onto 19 when this song was out lol now I’m 43 !!!! And seeing this lol , and these girls were sexy !!!!!
This single is very cute and very active, it's a bit similar to Spice Girl! In fact it went well! ❤️ pity that today the girl bands are almost completely gone ... it would be great that the girl bands are back on stage again! it is above all to give life to this beautiful song with a beautiful remake
I remember watching this on MTV several times and loving it. But the whole "To Be Continued" thing never happened. I was kind of disappointed. Did they ever make another video where it "continued"? :(
They had a second single called girls on top, and they were meant to release pure and simple which they co wrote but when they got dropped pure and simple was given to hear say and their names were taken off the credit
Most comments seem to be from British folks which is interesting cuz I grew up in the states and I remember this song clearly from my childhood I want to say from radio Disney. I burnt it into a cd back in the day and recently found the cd and this was like the 4th song on there lol it brought back some nostalgic feelings 💜
@@scottyunitedboy2925 And perhaps earlier from crap follow-up singles. This really was a killer single though, too good to banished to the dustbin of obscutity. Its B-sides are really good too.
Wow, I finally found this video. Young me had a crush on the red haired girl (I found them far hotter than the spice girls) and I think she influenced my taste in women. I love how they just DESTROY. If I was the groom, I'd be thanking these girls and ditch that boring bride. They seem far more exciting.
I used to kill this single on my pc because it had the film clip on it (life was so good when u could get cds with pc compatibility and with the video on it) and played it alll the time
I like the way they mindlessly destroy somebody's wedding and we're expected to get on board with that. #8 was a FAIR position considering they should really have ended up in jail.
That's what Simon Cowell gets for failing to take on board the one thing that made the Spice Girls work and which made sure this didn't: that they were about having fun, and being a bit cheeky and loud, but not at somebody else's expense. This deserved lower than #8 if you ask me!
i keep humming the part “It's the end of an era The start of a new day” and forgot the song title, and finally in aug 2024 i remember after all night googling and humming 😂
Love that Simon Cowell refused to manage the spice girls, then managed Girl Thing in an attempt to remake the Spice Girls fame. I like Girl thing and they should have done better in the industry but they weren't as good at the spice girls. :-)
Did they come through a TV talent show or simply put together separately from TV? It's odd to have a song called Last One Standing - which implies you've been through something and survived - when in fact this was their first single and were entirely new? Poetry, though, lyrically: We've got feminine touch in all the right places [Er....] Stars in our eyes and smiles on our faces
Spice girls came on the right time in the right place to leave the managment witout signing contract was great for them. Girlthing came on full girlbands era . So talking about wannabe / last one standing comparing isnt nessesary here . Spice and journalism also gave them nicknames all was fresh and girlthing came to an Eaten cake.
2023 and still a banger!!
i swear this will foever be the most Fun song for 90's girls....still listen to this
Jodi Albert is quite possibly the cutest, sweetest, loveliest person on the Earth.
This would be a hit, if a K-Pop girl were to sang this song today.
same this song is so fun to listen
Omg I haven't heard this song in 24 years and yet its been stuck in my head this whole time. brains are so wierd.

@@tixxstixx The album was put on iTunes after they went on the big reunion I wish other bands unreleased material was put on there now .
@@chazzas3469 I have the CD of it.
@@tixxstixx That's Cool I only managed to get the single at the time!
This is one of my favourite songs from the Noughties. It's so incredibly feel-good.
Sooo excited for their reunion! So happpy for my cousin Linzi!
Spice Girls: “Copy my homework but change it a bit so it’s not too obvious”.
Girl Thing:
😂
Huh?
?????????????????😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
they made it so obvious 😂
This video is a shameless copy of Wannabe. Even the members of Girl Thing said so.
Found this song yesterday after more than a double decade of searching...it was hard to find when the only line you know is 'we're the last one standing'😂 (9th dec'23)
I was searching for this as well. it turns out that you need to use VPN to change your location in order to find this music video. good thing its now available in my location.
Still a bop.
I searched for this song soooo many years!
Me too I miss my twenties
The red head one is Michelle Hughes my dance teacher !
Michelle was in my house Wednesday, she's with my dads best mate🤣🤣
Seeing her this Thursday for tap dancing 😂😂
The actual production of the song (if you know anything about mixing music) is absolutely TOP notch.. its actually a perfect, flawless, studio track.
That's Simon cowell for ya
마트갔다가 우연히 들었는데 신나고 좋네요~
I loved this song when it came out 😂🤣 feeling old!!
I was there when they were first around. I loved them and bought their second single 'Girls on Top'... however big they weren't. Just like similar disposable girl groups of the era that I also remember - Supersister, Femail, Buffalo G, Vanilla.....
They are so underrated... I've bought their album and all songs are amazingly good! I still listen to it every now and then
IVE ALWAYS SAID THEY'RE UP THERE WITH THE BEATLES AND LED ZEPPELIN
One of my favourite spice girls songs
Non. Sono. Le. Spice girls. Sono le. Girlthing
Copione stronzette 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
For the LONGEST time, this video wasn't available to watch in America. Glad it finally is.
As underrated as this girl group is, I still hold onto the memory of dancing to this song during Jump Jam.
The opening image sums up the early 00's in looks
I remember this song came out in 2000
I almost forgot these girls existed some time in my college and this song was a bop for me like until now,like hearing it again after years!
Not even sure how I ended here! The songs a bop though not herd it for years that little dance break is low key a serve! The red haired girl and the one in the middles execution was on point!
Please make this video available in Australia!! Had to come all the way to Germany to watch this clip :( this song went Gold in Australia - and no where else! :)
@Amélie Vouteau Amélie where are you from?
@Amélie Vouteau and what languages do you speak?
@Amélie Vouteau I am intrigued by a lady who has travelled so much and speaks so many languages. You may now educate me
@Amélie Vouteau who's JUL? Ich kann ein bischen Deutsch spreche. Ich habe Wien und München visitiert
@Amélie Vouteau danke schön. Wie alt bist du?
Luv them and luv this song🥰
Thumbs up it the big reunion brought u here
lmao why is everyone getting so upset? it's a cute music video!! enjoy it and calm down
Jodi is so cute with the "G for the girl n T for the thing"!
After just seeing Linzi on the X Factor, I had to listen to this again. Can't believe it's been 14 years. It came out when I was 9. Loved it then and still love it now at 23! :)
I just had to play that song just for Linzi's X Factor appearance.
and youre now 32
I remember this. Watching them now, they were trying to be the spice girls. This video is very similar to 'wannabe'.
They both crash a party, but the spice girls celebrate with other guests and are welcomed. These girls just destroy! Haha
Simon Cowell knocked back the spice girls and obviously was pissed about the fact they ended up a major success, so decided to make girl thing. I think for the girls In this band, who were talented, it did them a disservice trying to emulate the spice girls instead of singing songs that that fit them better I still loved this song at the time.
These ones can rap better though
Sophie Maria THOSE aren’t even similar to Emma’s lol shut up 😂
It's very obvious they were trying to match Spice girls...but we already had SG so this wasn't going to work..Plus spice girls were more diverse in terms of ethnicity, us black girls loved mel b!!
Last One Standing by Girl Thing
Is Used From the Theme Song of Ronda Rousey and Shayna Bazsler Vs isla Dawn And Alba Fyre
I can’t BELIEVE it’s been more than 20 yrs since this wow , only I was 18 going onto 19 when this song was out lol now I’m 43 !!!! And seeing this lol , and these girls were sexy !!!!!
A timeless classic from a lost, unappreciated era. :)
So many good bands just dropped by the record labels so much more they could of achieved!
The worst were S-Curve and Disney - went through good young acts like people change their undershorts.
Yeah I wish music acts weren’t treated as disposable. It’s unfair on them. I guess that’s just how the music industry works. :/
@@Werten25kpop bands experience the same in this time too
That would explain things.
This video is surprisingly violent
It's called not giving a damn and enjoying yourself
I remember getting this song on TAPE it had another song on it too that i just cant quiete remember. It was a tape with a pink colour casing.
This single is very cute and very active, it's a bit similar to Spice Girl! In fact it went well! ❤️
pity that today the girl bands are almost completely gone ... it would be great that the girl bands are back on stage again! it is above all to give life to this beautiful song with a beautiful remake
I forgot about them. OMG A BOP!!
Bellissime fanciulle 😉😉😉😉😉
Even though they have 1 EP and 1 Full album doesn't mean what they're left a rubbish....but they left a legacy....
loved this when it came out just dont think the world was ready for a girl group rapping
I thought this song was just some weird fever dream I had, then I found it!
I really liked this song. Who cares what happens in the video. It’s an upbeat, catchy song with a great chorus. I’m amazed it only got to no.8.
Lol the mobile phone at the end, i remember how cool it was in the late 90s.
I ❤ this song
Still plays on Heart 00’s Radio
I remember watching this on MTV several times and loving it. But the whole "To Be Continued" thing never happened. I was kind of disappointed. Did they ever make another video where it "continued"? :(

@@truecrimestorieswithcillawet they were hyped to the moon and back and this was expected to hit No.1 but when it only hit no.8 they were doomed
Girl Thing Last One Standing. (2000) Still A great music.
추억의 곡이다...
I've been looking for this song dance for couple years💖💖👏👏👏
I miss u guys soo much...:(,..
Most comments seem to be from British folks which is interesting cuz I grew up in the states and I remember this song clearly from my childhood I want to say from radio Disney. I burnt it into a cd back in the day and recently found the cd and this was like the 4th song on there lol it brought back some nostalgic feelings 💜
Best song 💘
2018. Old but gold! This song is everything!!! Perfect.
Love the song and the video !!!!!
2024 and this is still a proper tune!
loved this song back in day lol
I also wonder is this tune about to get millions of views now that one of them has been on the X Factor.
When will it be continued
I just now realized that these girls and this song felt like a counterpart of 5ive's Slam Dunk/Everybody Get Up 👍👍
OMG im just discovering this version and its so much better than the triple image version lmao...
who are Triple Image now looking them up lol
Can't lie, this is a banger lol
the girl wearing pink hat is beautiful 😊😍
I have their cassette tape.. i am in high school and me and my friends pick our own member and im niki ..the memories of my teenage days
love the song
Actually remember these when I was younger
I hoped they would make it but we all know how it ended. I boped to this cd 😍
I had the CD of these girls when I was 14... regarding choreography they were much better than the spice girls.
It really resembles spice girls with concept, music, styles..
Good song. Shame they hadn't done more.
I think the writing was firmly on the wall once Hear'say commandeered Pure & Simple as their own hit...
@@scottyunitedboy2925 And perhaps earlier from crap follow-up singles. This really was a killer single though, too good to banished to the dustbin of obscutity. Its B-sides are really good too.
Triple Image’s version is the one I heard first. Then just found this couple of days ago.
Totally had to TH-cam this after seeing her on X factor!
Masterpiece
i remember them!!! i loved the song!
Omg I thought I was the only one remember them😂❤
I'm still listening in June 02, 2021
Nice song and good rap

Alex the Pensmith its also about the lyrics sometimes every girl only gets girl code one of them might have loved the groom
Cool track 💕💕💕💕💕💞💞💞💞💞💘💘
i remember this song from MTV long time ago ugghh good old memories
I love it but they should have been focus grouped or something - they just didn't click with the public for several pretty obvious reasons.
i keep humming the part “It's the end of an era
The start of a new day” and forgot the song title, and finally in aug 2024 i remember after all night googling and humming 😂
They might have been a flop but love this song as gets you in party mood.
@@stevechristie2569 What are you trying to get at.
always love this song
@@chazzas3469 Not really New Zealand music are party favorites
@@newzealandmaoriwarrior5979 So what are you saying? That this song is not a party favourite?
This song didn’t flop in The Netherlands. It was probably their only hit too cause i only remember this song
I was a massive spice girls fan but I did like this song.
Now in my 30s and I still like this song.
Im 36 and i this song randomly came in my head yday lol

Simon Cowell put this group together to rival the Spice Girls. Everyone knew it, so they flopped.
Jodi!
This is all you need to know about Simon Cowell. Explains it all.
came too late !! witout any original ambition !
Spice girls came on the right time in the right place to leave the managment witout signing contract was great for them.
Girlthing came on full girlbands era .
So talking about wannabe / last one standing comparing isnt nessesary here . Spice and journalism also gave them nicknames all was fresh and girlthing came to an Eaten cake.
Here because of Xfactor ^~^

Haha same also
