Verisimilitude by S Club 7

Yes it’s true we’re back

Some of us are fat

Some have aged better than others

Some of our fans are now mothers

We’re going to do what Steps did

We’ll probably make a new vid

We might bring a new record out

And, oh, if you think there’s a doubt…

Der der der der

The newspaper story from the newspaper dude

Gives our claim some verisimilitude

V-E-R-I we’re very

S-I-M we’re simply

I-L-I elated

T-U-D-E to be back

Na na na na na hey hey

We nearly had a dream come true

We didn’t stop movin’ for you

It’s time to bring it all back

To reach for the stars and that

etc

A week to put up the stage, 5 nights of concerts, another week to take down the stage. Bring on the next.

Those residents will know the meaning of misery then.

Sounds like fun. Just so long as each of those bands can repeat the process outside your house! That would be even more fun

I remember reading that over the course of the groups life their earnings were just above the average yearly wage in England. Cowell on the other hand made something like 10 odd million off them.

I don't think they can be S Club 6, far too suggestive.

Jo O'Meara looks like a recovering meth addict.

I like how that fellow in the red suit from the hotel lobby area jumped in for a picture.

It was all a bit much though in fairness. Helicopters over the Big Brother house all that.

Poor Jade only used a damn Oxo cube ffs

O'Meara implying Indian people are unhygienic cause they eat some foods with their fingers was an idiotic and laughable thing to say though.

You think she would know that what with English people eating Fish & Chips, Burgers etc etc without utensils for aeons. Not the brightest is Joe.

Awful group, almost as bad as Steps.

But the brunette one, Tina, oh yes.

Heard that too.

Supposedly they were tied into a pretty restrictive contract that meant the "band" was owned by a management company (I think it might have been Simon Fuller, not Cowell though), and they were just employees. They just got a fixed salary per year, regardless of income actually generated by the band - which went to the management company.

Supposedly they made a bit of money after the first contract expired and they were able to sign a new record deal, but for the first few (and their most successful) years, they were on something like £80k per year, whilst making millions for Fuller.

to be honest, £80k per year is substantially more than the average wage and way more than the average struggling musician would make from their musical activity.
Plus, if they are getting the wage and other expenses are covered, they arent doing all that bad
(leaving aside that the record company who invest multiples of that in promotion, videos, merchandise and tours do make a packet if things go right)

They were one of the biggest bands going around at the time.

£80k per year for 6/7 years sure sounds nice.

But not so nice if you've given up your education to go into music, and are left with bugger all else way of generating an income for yourself once the short-lived music career has died.

And especially not so nice if the "band" you perform in is making millions in profits for somebody else (the profits - not revenues, actual profits - that were made from the band were supposedly in excess of £10m.

Generally for these kinds of bands the record company will always make the lion's share of the profits from record sales, merchandising and similar, but the touring, appearances and various concerts are where the band will make the money that will hopefully see them through when their star starts to fall.
S Club were always seen as an aberration in that the deal that they were signed to stopped them even being able to do that.

Young-to middle-aged female office workers whose taste in music abruptly stopped maturing at age 12.

S club have some very deep and meaningful songs. They speak to me.
A song like Natural for example, it's a classic love song. Look at this genious:
Baby lovin you
Comes easily to me
It's what I'm living for
It's all in the chemistry.

You just don't get them. I'm not a middle aged female office worker either.
