...that I am a big Steps fan…..
I have a tape of their hits in my car and get strange looks when I stop at a red light and the car next to me hears the music of Steps, the look of absolute disgust that is fired at me makes me even more determined to beat my addiction. But then the next track plays and it’s “Tragedy” so I start to sing along with it and just give the driver next to me a smile as I know he is begging for the lights ... ...have started to listen to Steps people have stopped coming to see me. When I go into the canteen or the main office I get strange looks and I know they are all laughing at me behind my back. I can see them whispering as I leave the canteen as I overheard the words “That’s him”…
So why do I like Steps, what is the attraction to their music, well personally I think it’s catchy and a bit like the Abba of old. It is usually ...

Advantages: Great talents Disadvantages: The talents wore out and were never that good!
...now, the actual splitting of STEPS has not affected me at all! This opinion was all hyped on how long STEPS were going to last written back in 2001! Now they have actually split up...
StEpS WAS a band of 5 which included Faye, Lisa, claire, Lee and H who had been around for quite a while and finally realised there time was up! I have no right to say that STEPS were a complete failure because they were totally 100% not! They were a sucessful band/group ... ...gIrLs' but sTePs actually split making their ' long era' actually come to a shooting halt!
THE STEPS UPWARDS ================ The group came together in 1997 when there was a competition, all 5 members of sTePs came together together to form the amazing group.
The band then released its first single that same year which was named the famous '5,6,7,8' which was a massive first hit for the famous pop group, it became a song that was played at every ...

...cater for all likes. Steps have also all got good singing voices, but because of the routines some of their songs can't be sung live - it's just impossible! But if you can find a band that sing all their songs live its a rarety. Steps rule! ...

Advantages: The early songs Disadvantages: It's all gone wrong...
...of the biggest (and oldest!) Steps fans around, finding them kitsch, cute, and cuddle (the women at least - the blokes always were smarmy and slimey!). Songs like 'Last Thing On My Mind' and 'One For Sorrow' were reminiscent of Bananarama in their prime and the group, even if manufactured and overchoreographed, were actually quite interesting. Sadly, with the dire second LP 'Steptacular' (the title sums it up - awful) any credibility they had in ...

Advantages: The classic songs One For Sorrow & Better Best Forgotten. Disadvantages: Some songs are bad and you will skip them all the time.
...are added to make the album have enough tracks to make people buy the album.
All in all its a first album from a group which is now very big in the UK. Not as good as many first albums but still has it's fair share of Steps classics. ...

...My friend got the new steps album for her Christmas so everytime I go to her house it is playing, she sits there and sings along to the songs while I feel like screaming!! I HATE Steps music (if you can call it music) and I never will like it, I used to think they were OK and I got their first album but now I can't stand them, those cheesy smiles and perfect hair, grrrr, maybe I should stop writing before I start tearing my own hair out!! ...

Advantages: A couple of the girls are good on mute!!! Disadvantages: They can't sing, can't mime, can't entertain us properly!
Well can Steps really sing? It's a mystery to me! I paid 20 quid to go to Hyde Park last summer for Party in the Park to watch a bunch of tarts prancing round a stage pretending to sing when it was blatently obvious that they were not!
We are the people who fund their celebrity lifestyle by buying their songs that sound good on the radio. Why do they sound good on radio? Because it's all digitally re-mastered! But the reality is that they cannot ... ...most is that they can't even pretend to sing properly! It is quite clear to those watching that they are miming because their mouths don't move in time wioth the song! Are they patronising us or what??? Party in the Park just goes to show who the real singers are! Let me think, who sang live and actually sang: Travis, Bryan Adams, Ronan Keating, All Saints, Bon Jovi... who turned up, pranced around the stage and mimed for ten minutes: Victoria Beckham, ...

Advantages: lively, can sing Disadvantages: covered some songs
I really enjoy listening to Steps' music. Their songs are upbeat, lively and easy to dance to. They are generally a popular band, but are very 'poppy' Younger people tend to be drawn to their style, but I enjoy dancing to their songs, and Tragedy is a classic. They have covered a few songs, which I disagree with, but they are generally original. Their videos are generally excellent, and their CBBC programme is helpful to aspiring performers. The ...

...miracle. Many have described Steps as the modern Abba. I would tend to agree on this labelling. After being hooked on their up beat tunes since 5,6,7,8, I have seen them develop into a global pop group. They have started to move away from the group being completely in one colour, which although quirkey and was recognised as Steps, it was becoming a bit perdicatble. Another aspect that has matured is their dance routines. These have become more complex ... ...all, Steps have brought Pop music back into fashion and have created an outstanding mixture of fast beat and slow ballards, only really seen in Abba. It is true that Steps is the 90's and 00's Abba, and like Abba, will become a classic of the era it represents. ...
