Step Back In Time
Last night I dragged out my Smash Hits Poll Winners Party 97' VHS tape (yes, I still own those...) and this was definitely the best one ever! The Spice Girls opened it (Crystal's Ugly Mel C theory was proven 100% correct)... and everyone was dressed as super-heroes - I'd forgotten how hot Kavana looked in a Superman outfit. And how ugly Hanson really were. 5ive were Best New Act. The Backstreet Boys did "Everybody (Backstreets Back)" which is on my Top 10 Definitive Songs of all time. Plus Ant & Dec were the hosts, and did the Men In Black dance... need I say more.
ps. I happened to attend Poll Winners 2002 and just thought I'd share a few memories to keep up the Poll Winners festivites...
*Gareth looked hot, was about the only artist to perform live and cleared up most of the awards for the night.
*Jo S Club was absent due to a broken back or similar, so Rachel mimed her part. Not half obvious either...
*D-side debuted "Speechless", which is one of the most bonza songs being released at present
*Darius wore a skirt... oh sorry "a KILT!" with nothing underneath. Ew.
