Did anyone else see the documentary on BBC Three last night about Claire Richards shedding 6 stone for her wedding? I have to say that I was very impressed with her determination and she looks great now
 I was also very pleased to see that all of the members of Steps are friends again and all attended the wedding, it was nice to see Faye Tozer, looking excellent as ever. I have probably the greatest of respect for Faye who has stayed completely out of the public eye unlike Lee (Upper Street/MTV), H (Big Brother) and Lisa (everything going) by going down the Muiscal Theatre route which I always thought she'd be well suited toI'm sure at some point the inevitable will happen and the band will get back together, and I was just listening to their Gold album this morning and it reminded me that they did actually have some very strong pop tunes; One For Sorrow, Last Thing On My Mind, Tragedy, Love's Got A Hold On My Heart, Deeper Shade Of Blue and Say You'll Be Mine in particular, not that they've dated particularly well, but they are still good, simple, fun pop, and remind me a lot of my younger years

My sister told me she read somewhere they will do a reunion tour like the Spice Girls did, but didn't know if they would go further? Think it was the Sun, I'd have to check the recycling bag to see.

claire done so well losing all the weight i remembe rseeing a pic of her ages back and cudnt believe how much she changed with all the weight on as she was always very fit looking in steps,so huge well done to her shedding 6 stone as it aint easy i hope she can keep it off now...
steps were great in their day you either loved them or hated them but their greatest hits has many a pop gem on for me the best steps single were stomp one for sorrow deeper shade of blue tragedy say you'll be mine they did great covers of tragedy, chain reaction etc but i hated their kylie beter the devil you know cover i hated it with a passion |

i liked heartbeat but rarely listened to it, it was kinda wasted as a double a as tragedy so over shadowed it

Hahah, I love Steps! For me their best tracks are:
Summer of Love (probably the best Steps track, and love that GAP like video) It's The Way You Make Me Feel (classy pop song, much better than their number 1s) You'll Be Sorry (great dance song, very under-rated) One For Sorrow (so great after their first 2 singles) Say You'll Be Mine (really catchy for an understated song!) I was to embarassed at the time to like them

I watched the documentary as well, and thought Claire came across very well. As for a comeback, I reckon I and several other Buzzjack members can think of a song for them to cover that would put them back to #1 in the charts with a more updated 2009 electro pop sound ...... |

Loved them back in the days...! Now they are a good (secret
 ) youth memory for me. And though it would be nice to see them back together, a comeback isn't a good idea imo.

Deeper Shade Of Blue was their best song for me. In fact, I would say one of the best 10 songs of the 90s. No joke.
