Steps are just fantastic. (Notice the sarcasm?) This manufactured girl/boy band are the most annoying group around at the moment. It is a proven fact! All they do when they want to release a new song, is get the backing track from one of their previous singles and record different words over the top. Every song they produce sounds exactly the same! I can't believe that they have been getting away with this for so long. It's outragous, i can tell you.

Anyone that thinks Steps are an original band are just kidding themselves. ...Abba. Ring any bells? Yes, I thought so too. They seem to be copying Abba's songs aswell, but just using a slightly tackier beat and a slight variation of words used.

I was once fortunate to see Steps live at a Chart Show for free. (I CERTAINLY wouldn't pay for this) And was disgusted. Not only did they mime, but they also had the cheesiest, tackiest dance routing, which was hideous. I don't think that Steps could sing live if they tried to, bless them. Okay, so they have the looks, but as a group, they are untalented in that respect. All their voices are most likely just enhanced with computers.


What was their first song called? Something like "5,6,7,8" Now, that's original. Random numbers, wahey!
And what was the follow up? Oh yes, something along the lines of "1,2,3,4" How ridiculous. LOL.
And the dance routings are just pathetic, they look like a bunch of toddlers playing chase.

And thay call themselves a band? What on earth is all that about then? I don't see them playing any instruments.

Basically, Steps can carry on doing whatever the hell they are trying to do, but all I ask is for them to keep a low profile in the future, because if I ever saw them, there'd be trouble. :)

Well, I've had my little rant, I'm happy. This has actually helped relieve me of some of the hatred I have for the group. But it hasn't changed me, hell no. I don't, never will and never have liked Steps. And I intend to keep it that way. :)

I totally agree with your view of them being unoriginal, but there is nothing better when your outta yah mind that a good old jiggle to Steps! c",)

You have never heard them live then. They can sing, so go back and edit your opinion. They ARE cheesey, they ARE tacky but it's all in the name of pop - take a pill!:0)keith

I didn't like Steps until I had to take my daughters to see them in concert & they were excellent, it was a great show & they all sang live, Lee's voice is weak, but the others are all very good, especially H & Claire.
