I'm all for this. Very happy.

But what should they do to make it successful?

SO happy about this, All Saints were a fantastic band back in their day and released some great songs, I really hope it is a proper reunion this time.

Why bother? Their last comeback bombed. They've had their time.

I'm tired of these 90s/early noughties acts making comebacks. All Saints flopped last time they came back. They have obviously run out of money and the song writing for Sheznay isn't bringing enough income.

They did have some great songs. 'Rock Steady' & 'Bootie Call' are personal favourites.

I'm always happy for a comeback as long as it's not done with zero budget.

Studio One had some good moments. I really liked Chick Fit, Rock Steady, Scar and Not Eazy. I'd welcome another album.

Maybe the Appleton sisters have been reading these forums.

They're working on their harmonies for a cover of Say It Right as we speak. lol

How does this qualify as a 'comeback' when they did live gigs only last year!? Must have been a slow news day presumably... anyway if they want to have another try, why not? So long as they have no grand visions of number 1 hits and sell-out arena tours, in which case they'll probably be in for a disappointment, its not doing any harm.

Learn how to sing live? I've never seen them at a gig, but they always sounded pretty awful whenever they had to sing live on TV

Whilst i do think they had their amazing moments mainly a few singles i have bought their albums and regretted it, they were no where near good or as consistent quality wise lets say a Girls Aloud or Sugababes album very filler heavy. i don't think this will do very well if i am honest i don't think the interest is there for them or Atomic Kitten sadly.

Thought Chick Fit was a great song, so i'll certainly be keeping an eye on this.

Your clearly have something wrong with our ears coz if there is one thing you can't knock them for and that's their singing ability which is pretty decent and always have been. Try again

Decent band. Hope they do it right this time and it's not like the shambles of a reunion a few years back.

I think Black Coffee was their best song. It sounds like it could have been released today. Not dated at all.

Pure Shores is just as good though, as is Never Ever.

Yes as they sang live at TOTP most of the time I seem to remember and saw some other good live performances as well over the years on tv. That for me already separated them much from the Spice Girls who really lack musical talent in comparison, apart from Melanie C maybe but I despise her screachy voice, so All Saints all the way.

They should focus on a 10 or 11 track consistent album now, instead of a hush hush release with filler. Though I don't think they will have a huge hit

Totally agree.

Whilst Spice Girls was a massive selling "brand" there is no denying All Saints released three outstanding pop songs.

Black Coffee is such an underrated gem. It's a miracle that it managed to get to #1 in the first place. I still regard Pure Shores as their finest moment, and of course Never Ever remains a solid gold pop gem which co-incidentally I bought on CD single the week it went to #1 lol (the advantages of getting money off relatives at Christmas )

I don't know how true this story is but apparently when Under The Bridge went to #1, All Saints performed on The Pepsi Chart Show on Channel 5 (it was Channel 5's attempt at TOTP lol) and they were so out of tune singing live, they ended up overdubbing their live vocals with the studio version for TV.

So it's just my ears that think that Shaznay's vocal is awful on this performance?
