Bananarama - I Want You Back

Song- *

Possibly The WORST Video *EVER*?!?!

This video is kind of like watching a very slow car crash. It's just a total disaster. The horns in this song sound as cheap as horns can get, and the rest ain't too cool neither. This whole thing they're trying to call a video is more offensive for women than pornography. I mean, they're not even as decent as porn actresses or even two-dollar whores. Basically they're morons and they look like slags. How is that supposed to reflect girl power? But I'm sure back then they thought it did.
Even as a kid I realized their voices are probably the cheapest sounding in the entire music industry. In fact, they actually all seem to have the same exact voice- hmmm... suspicious... It just sounds like three or four completely ordinary girls just went in to a studio for a few minutes to goof around. If you compare their vocals to nearly anyone else they make the other band sound like opera.
If you've ever seen the "French & Saunders" spoof they did of this band, watching any of the band's videos afterwards will always make you laugh.
On Bananarama's website you see a picture of two of them (one of them ducked out- wonder why?) and you're encouraged to "Enter" but something makes me a bit queasy about that. Occasionally, I wonder what do they mean exactly by "only you can fill the need in me"- but then my interest fades, as it does for this song.

GOOD GOD! Blackface and afro wigs? Was this piece of racist crap video big in Bradford? Bananarama burns in pop hell for eternity.

They had 10 times the talent of the Spice Girls.
