    This needs to be full Netflix documentary or mini series. I'd love to hear from other of the 90s bands. 💙 💯

    To the people making fun of these people and say I've never heard of them before, the world doesn't revolve around you. One day, the people you listen to today will fade away and you will soon read in the comments the same comments that you did. There are people who appreciate the music that these popstars have gifted us with especially as part of OUR growing years not YOURS.

    Can you imagine being in top of the world at one moment in time, then 20 years later, someone calls you up and says “hey, would you like to be in a documentary about has beens.” How humble of these great artists to participate in something like this. Super commendable.

    Blue was in the Philippines on my 14th birthday. My aunt was a producer for their show. At one point they called out my name and Lee carried me onto the stage. Antony, lee, duncan and my absolute fave-SIMON sang me happy birthday and i will never never be able to thank you guys enough for making my little teenage heart burst like that.

    Only the true 90s babies will remember these people! I was born in 1991 and these groups were literally apart of my childhood! B*Witched and S Club 7😍 I still listen to their music till this day!

    It’s not a flex to say you’ve never heard of these people before, they’ve made some bangers <3

    They all look healthy, down to earth, I think the fact their music careers stopped has done them good. The entertainment industry is evil.

    Simon Webbe's solo career had such potential. No Worries, Coming Around Again and Lay Your Hands - all really good singles.

    I would watch a whole 10 part series about this. Not just brit pop stars but loads more people. Success is not always measured in number of records sold.

    Old pop stars never die. They just become judges on Britain's got Talent.

    This should be a series, Netflix. Anyone who can keep a career after huge stardom is admirable. The industry is ruthless. It brings back good memories to watch this group of artists.

    I have to give these people props for acknowledging they're no longer famous and not finding it shameful to agree to be in this documentary. No one has an upward trajectory of fame forever, and fame isn't the sole measure of success/talent. I think it's pathetic to not acknowledge when your star has waned and keep fronting that you're still a big star and doing shocking things just to keep yourself in the headlines

    Oh my God, this makes me feel sooo old! My my how time flies! I swore it felt just like yesterday I sang to B*Witched, S Club 7, and Blue! 😂

    My dance instructor has told me about “glitter crash” where as a performer you sink into a post-show depression and go a little crazy for a bit. I have experienced it myself, for sure. Now imagine being a huge pop star in a girl group and suddenly, no more group and no more gigs. The orders of magnitude difference in our experiences of glitter crash have to be huge.

    This really highlights the difference between actual musicians and manufactured bands. Manufactured bands are finished as soon as their looks fade, whereas actual musicians still have their own writing skills to fall back on.

    I was such a big S Club 7 fan and still am to be fair. They released some great pop songs! But for me, I see Hannah as both a singer and as Abby from Primeval. She was incredible in that show and I rewatch it every now and again. So good!

    If you were a teenager in the late 90s to early 2000s, you'd know them. Their songs are amazing

    While I never grew up in the 90s, I can appreciate the joy that S Club 7 has brought me!

    Omg Simon Webbe! Blue came to Mexico City when my best friend and I were thirteen and it was our first ever going-without-parents concert. They played at a Hard Rock Cafe of all places hahaha and after the gig, Simon RESCUED MY FRIEND FROM BEING RAN OVER, a car accelereated towards us when we were crossing the street and he scooped her up and brought her back to safety, I remember he was gorgeous and so kind. Lives were changed LITERALLY!
