Atomic Kitten - a forgotten grlband?
Seems like The Spice Girls, Girls Aloud, Destinys Child and even All Saints hold a memorable quality with the masses however it seems Atomic Kitten who were pretty big in the early 00s dont get any recognition these days and their only link seems to be to that witch Kerry Katona who left the band before they took off.
I really like AK 2.0 and think they released some great tracks like "Be with You" & "If You Come to Me" I would love to see them reunite actually for another album. |

"Whole Again" was popular in the gay clubs. We used to change the lyrics.

Yeah, as pop tunes go they had some alright ones. Whole Again being the most massive probably. I think a lot of their songs seemed to have a distant similarity between them, the beat was almost always the same! And Natasha had a great voice.

Its actually quite frustrating that the girls are either forgotten about or labelled as flopstars when they had so many hit singles in a relatively short time together.

In the history of Pop Music they were hardly ground breaking or cutting edge.

I liked version 1.0, pure cheesy pop a lá Steps rather than the vaguely "sexy" 2.0.

I loved You Are, Whole Again and I Want Your Love (I think that's what it was). Preferred Atomic Kitten with Kerry.

I loved Atomic Kitten Version 1.0, they were my guilty pleasure at the time, I even bought the Kerry Katona version of Whole Again on CD single!

I hate Kerry Katona but even I can admit the original version of Whole Again with her whispery vocals was the best

The Last Goodbye is amazing. Overall though, I don't think their material has dated very well.

Nobody else noticed how bizarre the name atomic kitten is? It would be like calling another band nuclear dog

I think that all the girl bands mentioned above all have a high media profile and many of the members went on to have a successful solo careers (Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, Cheryl, possibly Nadine) - Atomic Kitten are synonymous now with rubbish reality shows and failed solo careers.
All Saints were the anti-girl band, but their music doesn't feel dated whereas AK feels a bit quaint now. |
