boybands of the '90s...

haha. i was bored and surfing on youtube, i found a Kavana music video! on the description, the user said the video took years to find. haha!! i couldnt agree more. a few months back, i tried to search for his latest news, pictures etc, not much info abt him! sheesh. but more recently, more pictures and stuff of him are available... hmm... i was thinking where he disappeared to all these years! i was mad abt him in secondary school. i even bought his "Instinct" album leh, CD somemore. its my first CD i bought. at that time, everyone listens to cassette tapes. haha!! and then at his peak and most famous point, he disappeared or retired from the music industry. and i read that he came back in 2007, doing shows and stage performances. he looks fatter and more rugged now, so man!!! haha.

and den i started to think of the boy bands that i quite like, in the 90s. lets not talk abt the mainstream super popular ones like Take That, N'sync, Backstreet Boys, Westlife, Boyzone etc. i wana mention some groups that released just 1 or 2 albums and then kenna disbanded and disappear. haha.

1. Human Nature

i wasn't exactly crazy about them, i just like their songs. i remember they sang Wishes, He Don't Love You, Cruel... so nice! i thought they disbanded long ago, i searched online and amazingly, they are still very active in Australia (their hometown) and still releasing albums there. wah. seldom see longevity in boybands, so impressed with them. haha..

2. Take 5

err. i cant find any of their pictures! i googled them, but cannot find! wah lau. they are not even on the Wiki page! haha. i didnt buy their CD, i hope im not making this up, since dont have any signs of their existence, haha. anyway, five members, 4 of them are very good looking. so its not a surprise i liked them. they sang "I Give"... and cant recall other songs right now. haha!

3. Code Red

they are not exactly super cute, i liked them for their songs, like What Good is a Heart, Can We Talk, This is Our Song... cant really find their mp3s now *sad*. i remember we had this newspaper reading session in Cedar, a few of us sang the song What Would You Do If, quietly at the back, then the chorus quite high pitch, i think it was wanrou who turned back and said "i thought got ghosts singing". it was so funny, because the highest note is the "would" word, and we sang like "WOOOd..." which sounded like ghosts in cartoons going "ooohhh...". we burst out laughing. almost kenna the discipline mistress's attention.

4. Five

wah... actually i dont remember any of their names. vaguely. im guessing there's a Rich, Scott? or some sort. i have their first CD. with all the nice songs like Until the Time is Through, When the Lights Go Out..

5. A1

i LOVE them! my most favourite boybands among the 5 i mention here. and i know all their names, Christian, Paul, Ben and Mark (from left to right). haha. and i have all their 3 albums! so sad they disbanded after the 3rd album. sigh.

i youtubed some of the music videos. OMG. so cheesy!!! like Take That also had very cheesy moves, playing with water etc, with no significant storylines whatsoever. cant believe its how boybands shoot their music videos tat time. the best part, we liked watching them! *faints*
