Could be. The chorus is perfection!

It was ok. But any s club single other than alive craps all over it.


Reach was perfection as was never had a dream come true

Probably not that shocking a statement, I'm sure there's lots of other 7 year old girls that think it is too.

It's a catchy song but I wouldn't call it perfect. The intro is too long and it could do with a middle-eight.

I used to love S Club 7 at the time (I was a bit too old for S Club Juniors) but it all sounds so cheesy and dated nowadays.

Not my cup of tea.

I think it's quite bland and this is coming from someone who listens to S Club 7's Reach, Bring It All Back and S Club Party probably more often than I should.

too old for it? ... i liked it, it is a good pop song, not the best ever but good. ignore the fact it was kids singing it, a good song is a good song no matter who sings it.

i liked sclub j/7 , goodtime pop which is what pop should be about imho.

S Club Juniors had a string of amazing songs. They were so good, whoever wrote their songs should write for The Saturdays.

Hmm. It's no Waterloo Sunset or God Only Knows or What's Going On now is it, OP?

The Sats should totally do a Juniors medley on their tour. Automatic High was my personal fave but One Step Closer was good too, they do sound incredibly dated now though.

Sidenote, does anyone remember the CBBC show where S club Juniors were formed? I remember I was gutted as you had to be 8 to apply and I was only 7 lol those were they days

I loved it when I was 11 but I think it's really cheesy now. My favourite S Club Juniors/8 song has to be New Direction. Sundown was good too.

Rochelle and Frankie Sandford.

Sundown is one of my fave S Club 8 Songs.

Don't Stop Movin' is by far the best pop song by either S Club band.

It reminded me a lot of Irene's Cara's 'Fame' melodywise which is a good thing.

It's a good little song - New Direction from them was also nice. I can't remember how their other tracks went though.

Yeah it was brilliant. Hannah from S Club Juniors (not S Club 7) went to my primary school and SCJ performed there as part of their primary school tour (sat at the front row since I was in Year 3) performing 4 songs (One Step Closer, Automatic High, Together and Anytime Anywhere), I absolutely loved it!

I liked S Club 7 but wasn't a fan of the Juniors/8. I think New Direction and Sundown are good, though.

I liked thier last 2 singles as sclub 8, as for Thier first bunch of singles I thought Automatic was a shamelessly brilliant guilty pleasure, I thought that was miles better than one step closer in terms of pop cheese.
