I hate Rachel Stevens AND her gloves...

[tricolore]

Why oh why does she get so much attention?

No bullshit from her hardcore fans please.

[jester1436]

Because she's marketed well and releases good pop songs perhaps? Shot in the dark and all...

[tricolore]

She can't sing for shit though. *Jo fan*

IT SHOULD BE JO!

[Josh]

Well, yes, Jo - Queen of the Flow - is much, much better - but Jo, quite simply isn't around right now... Or well, she hasn't quite made her comeback yet!

Plus by the sounds of it Jo is going to distance herself from fun Pop music.

[Ronald Parisi]

I think Rachel and Jo have two different voices, and Jo's voice would be wasted singing "Sweet Dreams My LA-Ex" or "So Good" because she has a much better range.

Tina could pull off Rachel songs definatly.

but I like Rach. I don't like the fact that she doesn't sing live and has shit videos.

[:D]

i think she's overrated in the looks department but let's be honest, her music is very good.

[Ronald Parisi]

Ditto

I would disagree with that one hundred per cent. If she was marketed well then her songs and album wouldn't flop. Then again I do respect Rachel in the sense she has taken a little talent a long, long way. Not all popstars can be as provocative as Madonna, Britney and Christina, some have to be dull like Rachel.

Looks like i was smited by one of her little minions. I shall get my revenge... or not.

So is a fan always a minion?

Is someone who kind of likes her a bit a minion?

There really was nothing minion-esque said by anyone.

So just shut it! Or I'll get Hannah to beat you up.

Personally, I think Rachel did best out of the S Clubbers because she was the only one with no personality. She was just in the background. People would identify her as 'that one from S Club' without her songs sounding too similar to S Club's, because her voice wasn't dominant on many songs, whereas Jo's was. It's hard to explain.

I don't think that's true. She was one of the more prominent members. Far more people had heard of her than Tina or Hannah.

[Ronald Parisi]

Yet, For some odd reason, People seem to always talk a lot about Tina songs, even though they were never singles. I remember hearing praise after praise over Stronger.

Rachel did have Natural, which I do believe was the greatest S Club 7 song of all time. She did wonders with that song.

[Rabbit Simpson]

Me too!

THERE'S ONLY ONE JO O'MEARA!!

[drbastard]

I also think Some Girls would have been better in the hands (and voice) of someone like Billie Piper. Rachel's voice is too thin and reedy to really pull it off but a good song nonetheless.

[beNcooKe]

I agree DB, of course Some Girls has really been a good showcase for the abilities of richard x. The real star of the track is his backing vocal "a Woooh Ah" or whatever.

[veryjammy]

The sooner So Good and her subsequent album flops the better. Then the admittedly great songs she is given can be handed to someone who will actually do them some justice in terms of vocals, performance and actually getting them out to public since radio won't touch her.

[Jade]

I haven't seen the video to the new song, so I can't comment about the gloves, however I do quite like Rachel as an artist. Presently, pop music is pretty crap, what happened to the days of Steps/S Club/Five/Westlife/B*Witched/Britney/Billie etc or riding really high in the charts? In the current state of music, Rachel is a welcome change.

The gloves.. are awful, but that's just my opinion

I don't like the gloves either, they look like they'd be really annoying to wear.

[frazzles]

Rachels got one of them faces I just wanna smack and her songs are pure shite

Why would they bother if the songs aren't selling in the first place? It makes no sense from a label standpoint to continue marketing a particular brand of pop music when it's not being bought. Those good songs just won't exist - end of. This is truly one of the worst "Anti-Rachel, Pro-Pop" arguments....

*gets personal*

Oddly enough, you have the attitude of someone whose face I would wanna smack and since we're just throwing random assertions, I think you smell funny.
