Ah Sonia the Scouse chanteuse

Didn't she do a Eurovision song?

Someone told me i looked like Sonia once

@Palavah

Jive Bunny Swing the Mood 1989 sampling Rock around the Clock from 1954, 35 years later.

1989 is 32 years ago, almost the same gap again. Sheesh.

Now be quiet with your lies you

Sonya!!!

I remember to flying to Paris with work and she was on the plane in first class.

Were we nice? No we weren’t😳 We we’re totally pissed and were shouting Sonya in a scouse accent, all the way from Paris to Manchester.

I cringe now🙈 we were all about 23 or 4.

Yeah I think Sonia did the Eurovision at some point in the mid 90s. Don't think she was too successful

Oh I loved (still love) that Richard Marx song. Thought it was so romantic when I was 11.

She did indeed. She has a reputation for being a right diva too.

Ah she was a nice looking girl!

Black Box!
Waaaaaaahhhhhhhh

I loooooooooooove Ride on Time!

Sonia came second at Eurovision which is a darn sight better than most of our entries!

Chune!

Poor little Our Sonya

Did she react?

Count me out. I thought the late 80s was the nadir for music. Pete Waterman was a good entrepreneur I acknowledge, but only one of the SAW stable had any talent, Rick Astley.

I wholeheartedly apologise to Son! I'd assumed she'd bombed.

No she ignored us.

We just got louder and louder, crying with laughter.

It must have well pissed her off! Ah them were the days, being let lose in Europe with no boss to control us

I agree - Rick's voice is even better now.

Ooh - two acts who didn't actually do their own singing within a couple of minutes.

You'll Never Stop Me From Loving You is the creepiest song ever. It makes Every Breath You Take look like a soppy love song.

Yuk, don’t like Lisa Stansfield.

The late '88 '89 were full of SAW (a loooooot) but it was also the time when some really interesting dance music started emerging too.

I used to have a Rosemary Connelly aerobics video with been around the world on it
Just reminds me of 'and get those knees up ladies'

I remember reading about a woman who received a police caution for playing Been Around the World on repeat.

But the late 80’s had The Stone Roses and The Happy Mondays

Bez and Shaun😵‍💫💊 What more could anyone want?!
