They are so funny and still so gorgeous!
They are so close I can Imagine that it wasn't easy for Siobhan or Jackie
Sarah and sionbhan are close they all knew eachother before the group
Am soooooo over the moon about the book 💖💖 this is exactly what we - the fans - need, especially right now... Times and days are slightly bizarre now, so I really look forward to buying the Really Sayin' Something memoir by my all time favourite group 🙌🐯👦🏄
Sara and Karen I deeply love you and I wish you both only the best in life 🏄
Hugs from Moscow 🙆
Dance with a stranger is a masterpiece, can't stop to hear it, five years on top my 10 listening year in Spotify.
Totally agree. "A trick of the night" (the original album version), "Dance with a stranger" & "In a perfect world" form a perfect trilogy. Anyone's negative predjudices about Bananarama could easily be overthrown by these three songs.
@@Cicilo1983 For sure, totally agree.
Thankfully they got to sing (lead vocals) on the Band Aid II version of Do They Know It's Christmas
That interviewer looks like Siobhan lol
Lovely ladies. Great music. Amazing memories. Keep touring.
Georgous, the 3 best-looking girl pop group ever. I still have a crush on all of them lol.
bananarama are so amazing
nobody can beat the Bangles.........except Bananarama. =D
No not really
@@fregarl yes, really...
@@fregarl Trust me. Bananarama harmonized better. Yes, really.
@@atheistleopard618 No also bangles played their own instruments , and wrote their own songs, not a girlgroup a band! U cannot compare, besides bangles harmonized way better
Legends!❤❤
it was really nice too see all 3 of them get back together too me
Bananarama will always be the 3 of them not the 2 of them so it was
about time they all got back together no matter what happen in the past
its was nice too see them put all that behind them for the fans
wizardsmoke they reconciled years ago but other projects would not allow a reunion till 2017 they made up back in 1999
¡BANANARAMA FOREVER!
They are so funny the best womens i love Bananarama forever in my heart
I remember being a kid in the states watching the BandAid video and noticing the lack of girls.
Exactly! The first time I saw Bananarama get out of the mini I freaked out with such joy as they were and still are my all time favorite group!!! Even now when I watch the BandAid vid I get excited!! Lol
Well they had Boy George & Marilyn.
Celebs never get bored of talking about themselves
I must have this book and read it after I finish Andrew Ridgeley's I am over the moon that they are back together I hope its true
No mention of Jacqui 🙄🙄🙄
I wish this group comes back. It was one of the most amazing band of women.
But they're still around and making music, the latest album "Masquerade" being released in 2022 - so what are you talking about?
@@ingvarjensen1088 And they're releasing Glorious: Ultimate Collection next year
@@KayleighNatasha Of course, but that hadn't been announced yet when I posted my comment ;-)
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad keren loved the SAW stuff its amazing they looked fantastic and sounded superb and the dancing was epic.
Jody watley from shalamar was on band aid before the the solo career in america which scored 6 top 10 singles on the hot 100.
I think it would be a terrible shame if they didn’t ask Siobhan to join in the 40th celebrations in some way. She did co-write all their biggest hits in the 80’s so it’s not as if she hasn’t earned her place as a member of Bananarama.
In any of these recent interviews that I have seen they only refer to themselves except once when they were actually asked about Siobhan so they had to respond briefly to confirm that she was even in the band ! Jacqui O'Sullivan isn't even mentioned. I don't think this reflects well on them. Siobhan was a huge part of the original Bananarama and joined them for a sell out tour in 2017. I have no doubt that her being on board contributed greatly to the success of the tour. She originally left the group as she grew tired of the SAW manufactured sound of their late 80's hits and formed Shakespear's Sister whose creative dark style would never have been fulfilled with Keren & Sara. They can't just write Siobhan & Jacqui out of history.
@@bipbippadotta5953 Seems they can? Sara focuses heavily on the 30 years as a duo but that was nowhere near as successful as when Siobhan was with them. That’s just my opinion though. Because I know a lot of fans like Bananarama as a duo but I’ve always preferred them as a trio.
I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt since nobody apart from themselves knows the full story.
It’s entirely possible that Siobhan didn’t want to be in the book for example.
Point being I don’t know the facts so I won’t judge anyone.
Having read the book Sara and Keren had a very tight friendship before Siobhan and even though they were a group it’s always been very Sara and Keren being very tight doing basically everything together and Siobhan having her own thing. And she slowly grew out of Bananarama and finally left. At the time she was pregnant, living in LA with Dave Stewart about to marry him.
Then she teamed up with Marcella Detroit creating Shakespears Sister. Then they fell out...
So in 2017 they did this oneoff original lineup tour and that was all it was. They did try putting a new track together but it didn’t click and nothing came of it and they went their separate ways again. Siobhan then made up with Marcella again for a Shakespears Sister reboot with new music, some gigs and greatest hits.
But hey! 2022 is still some time away so who knows what they get up to! Fingers crossed!!!
In one of the last paragraphs of the book they even quote Siobhan saying: Your friendship is unnatural!
@@bipbippadotta5953 Siobhan has Shakespeare's Sister reunion but if she finds a minute she may be back they are close again George dying made them realize life is too short so they toured they made amends before that but came full circle in 2017 maybe they will
How come you ask about George and not about Andrew??? 😅🎉22 yrs together with Keren! Journoz…
Do they talk in the book about how they humiliated Terry Sharpe in the Shy Boy video?
Yes, Keren and Bananarama.
Kevin and Sam. I get a lump in my throat just thinking about the Banana men.
I am definitely going to buy the book. I certainly hope there is at least some mention of Jacqui . She had four or five decent hits with them. You can certainly pick out her voice on the lead vocals on most of those songs. She also had a very cool, somewhat haughty and aloof stage presence which I felt really contributed to the band. There cannot be any question that for the brief time she was in the band, Jacqui certainly pulled her weight and contributed…. Well, on stage and in the videos. Apparently she was quite the loose unit on the world tour and would turn up massively hung over, if she turned up at all. I think that’s brilliant! You do you Jack’s!

You're allowed an interview with pop legends, and what do you open your interview with ? A section about hairspray.
Keren ist richtig hübsch.
The American Association of Sewer Workers is still pretty much of a boys' club. Care to join it?
Is the host Welsh?
I love Bananarama, but PWL did not have little success before them- they had hits with likes of Hazell-Dead or Alive, Hazell Dean, Mel + Kim, Sonia, Samantha Fox. etc
So very confused there.
And they said about studio costs in the 80's/90's, but also i that time others like Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel. etc
Made their own home studios after a while keeping costs down a lot.
Sonia didn't have a hit until 89, Mel and Kim came out later in the same year as Venus, and Sam Fox didn't work with SAW until 87. But yes, both Hazel Dean and Dead or Alive preceded Bananeama's work with Stock Aitken and Waterman.
It was expensive to put a studio together back then. And Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel were solo artists so there would have been no debate about where to locate a private studio.
But they're right - prior to Bananarama SAW just had hit it big with Hazell Dean and Dead Or Alive. There was no Mel & Kim, Rick Astley, Kylie and so on yet. Bananarama's "Venus" was SAW's first US #1.
What about marilyn
Marilyn isn’t female
@@simongill4715 joke
Keren is married to George's bandmate Andrew
Keren & Andrew had dated but were never married
Cupcake factory 🏭
Middle class Kareoke
It’s not about Marxist quotas love it’s about talent
Keren admitting once more how much she enjoyed the dance pop of SAW, which ruined all the talent and the originality not this unique girl band
SAW ruined nothing I liked Dance POP and as you said nothing ruined Bananarama I loved Venus I heard a rumor and all those love in the first degree and hotline to heaven Robert DeNiro is waiting as well as Rough Justice which is considered a bomb I love it Bananarama never did a bad song to me and I was a child back then so I really get to enjoy it now I refound them in 2016 along with their Pal George and like them I was devastated when he was taken from us it must have been a pleasure for them to know him personally
The 2 girls were horrible to Siobhan
I loves Siobhan , too. she was the hottest. I wonder what they did to her? She quit? I know she married that goofy looking guitarist from the Eurythmics back when, and that was about it with her........................
Siobhan was too edgy for the others. She formed a punk like band Shakespears sister.
@@doclawyer she was the hottest looking too
