S Club

S Club, formerly known as S Club 7, was a BRIT Award-winning British pop group created by former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller. The group—consisting of Tina Barrett, Paul Cattermole, Jon Lee, Bradley McIntosh, Jo O'Meara, Hannah Spearritt, and Rachel Stevens—rose to fame by starring in their own CBBC television series, Miami 7, in 1999. Over the four years they were together, S Club 7 had four UK number-one singles, one UK number one-album and at least one number-one single in four other countries. Their musical style also changed from the strong 1990s pop sound of their first few singles to a more dance and R&B approach in their final releases.

S Club 7 was managed by Simon Fuller through 19 Entertainment and was signed to Polydor Records. Overall, the group released eleven singles and recorded four studio albums. They won two BRIT Awards and, in 2001, they earned the Record of the Year award. Their television series also lasted four seasons and became popular in 100 different countries where the show was watched by over 90 million viewers.[1]

In 2002, Paul announced he was leaving the band. After he left, the group fought many rumours presuming that they were about to split.[2][3] However, on April 21, 2003, during a live onstage performance, S Club announced that they were to disband.[4]

History

Formation

Simon Fuller claims to have chance upon the concept of 'S Club 7' the day after he was fired by the Spice Girls in 1997.[5] The group came together after auditioning from over 10,000 hopefuls;[6]Rachel Stevens was the only member of the band who did not audition to gain admittance into the group.[7] Instead, two producers from 19 Management approached her and asked her to go into the studio and record a demo tape for Simon Fuller.[7] Both Jo O'Meara and Paul Cattermole were spotted by producers from 19 and asked to audition.[7] After the auditions had been advertised in The Stage magazine,[7] Jon Lee, Hannah Spearritt, Tina Barrett and Bradley McIntosh auditioned for the band.[7] After final adjustments, including the removal of three original members, Fuller had created S Club 7.[6]

Once the final lineup was decided, the group flew to Italy in order to become acquainted with each other.[8] Speaking about this first meeting, Rachel said that the group "felt comfortable with each other" from the beginning.[8] It is unknown where the name S Club 7 originated, however it has been suggested that the members simply liked that the letter 'S' had many words that began with it.[6]

1999–2000: Miami 7/S Club

S Club 7 first came to public attention when they starred in their own 1999 television series, Miami 7.[9] The show first aired on CBBC on BBC One and was a children's sitcom based on the life of the seven members living together in Miami in search of fame in America. Miami 7 was also launched in the United States,[10] where it originally aired on Fox Family, and then later on ABC Family, where it was retitled S Club 7 in Miami. The show was watched by 90 million viewers in over 100 different countries.[1] The group also filmed two TV specials between the first two series of their show. The first, Back to the '50s—which aired on CITV, instead of CBBC—told the story of how the group found themselves back in 1959 when their mileometer tipped over 999,999 miles.[11] In the second series, Boyfriends & Birthdays, Rachel's boyfriend gave her an ultimatum of staying with him or remaining with the band.[12]

Template:Sound sample box align left Template:Multi-listen start Template:Multi-listen item Template:Multi-listen item Template:Multi-listen end Template:Sample box endS Club 7 released their debut single, "Bring It All Back" on June 9, 1999. It was the up-tempo theme music to Miami 7, written by Eliot Kennedy, who had previously worked with the Spice Girls and Take That.[13] The single reached #1 in the United Kingdom[14], and was made Platinum.[15] On September 20, 1999, the group's second single, "S Club Party", was released. It was written and produced by Norwegian production team Stargate and had a peak position of #2 in the UK[16] and reached #1 in New Zealand.[17] Following the high charting of their first two singles, the group released their debut album, S Club in October 1999. The album rose to #2 in the UK charts,[18] and then became certified Double Platinum.[19]

In December 1999, a double A-side single was released. It featured the ballad, co-written by Cathy Dennis, "Two in a Million" and retro-styled, up-tempo "You're My Number One". "Two in a Million" was the first single where Jo O'Meara took the vocals, setting the standard for future S Club releases. The single soon peaked at #2 in the UK charts.[20] Miami 7 also showcased unreleased tracks, such as "Down at Club S" and "We Can Work It Out", which went on to be included as B-sides on single releases.

The group also recorded vocals for "It's Only Rock 'N' Roll", which raised money for Children's Promise, an alliance of seven children's charities—Barnardo's, Children In Need, ChildLine, The Children's Society, Comic Relief, NCH and the NSPCC.[21] A cover of the Rolling Stones song, the group contributed to the vocals alongside many popular artists, including Mary J. Blige, Natalie Imbruglia and the Spice Girls.[21] It entered the charts at #19, the same week as "Two in a Million/You're My Number One".[22]

2000–2001: L.A. 7/7

Template:Sound sample box align right Template:Multi-listen start Template:Multi-listen item Template:Multi-listen item Template:Multi-listen end Template:Sample box end In February 2000, the group won the 'British Breakthrough Act' award at the 2000 BRIT Awards.[23] In April 2000, S Club's second TV series, L.A. 7 (renamed S Club 7 in L.A. in the US), was released. The series saw the group depart Miami and move to Los Angeles to seek a record deal. The series introduced the song "Reach", another retro-styled uptempo track, which was again co-written by Cathy Dennis and aired as the main theme tune to the second series.

"Reach" was released as a single in May 2000 and reached #2 on the UK chart.[24] It arguably became one of the group's most successful singles, paving the way for the group's second album, 7 which was released on June 12, 2000. This album was a departure from overtly pop stylings of S Club, with tracks styled more towards R&B than the traditional nineties pop sound of their debut album. The album reached #1 in the UK charts[1][25] and became certified Triple Platinum;[26] it also became a certified Gold record in the USA.[27] The second single from the album, '"Natural", featured Rachel Stevens as lead vocalist. The single reached #3 in September 2000.[28]

S Club 7 took an active part in promoting several different charities during their time as a band. As well as performing for Children in Need, the band launched, on September 25, 2000,[29] a new television series called S Club 7 Go Wild! which saw each band member support an endangered species. Teaming up with the World Wildlife Fund, each member travelled to different destinations worldwide with a hope to raise awareness about the seven endangered creatures, including the Siberian Tiger[30] and the Hyacinth Macaw.[31] In October 2000, the band launched the annual Poppy Appeal Campaign with Dame Thora Hird.[32] S Club 7 also supported Woolworth's Kids First Campaign throughout 1999 and 2000.[33]

In November 2000, S Club 7 were invited to provide the official song for the UK's BBC Children in Need Campaign 2000 and so a new song, the ballad, "Never Had a Dream Come True" was recorded. After topping the UK charts in December 2000,[34] the song was added to a re-release of the 7 album, along with another new track, a cover of Stevie Wonder's "Lately".

On March 20, 2001, Paul, Jon and Bradley were caught with cannabis in London's Covent Garden. The three were cautioned by police at Charing Cross Police Station and released without charge.[35] After the event, they released a public apology stating they were "very stupid" and "very sorry" admitting to having made a "stupid mistake".[36] At the time, BT and Cadbury, who had sponsorship deals with S Club 7, said they were "very disappointed" to learn of the caution but said they would keep their contracts with the band.[36] However, cereal firm Quaker Oats ended talks with 19 Entertainment after learning of the police caution.[37] It was rumoured that merchandising company "PMS International" were to take out an £800,000 lawsuit against the band for declining sales as a direct result of the drugs scandal.[38] However, this came to nothing and any doubts over the future of sponsorship ended when Pepsi signed the band up less than a month after the drugs caution.[39]

In May 2001, S Club 7 began touring for the first time. Their first tour, S Club Party 2001, saw the group sing songs from their first two albums. It was filmed at Manchester's M.E.N. Arena and released on DVD on October 29, 2001.[40]

On September 30, 2001, a CBBC television show, S Club Search, invited children to audition to form a younger version of the band. The new group were to be chosen to sing and dance on tour with S Club 7 on their S Club 7 Carnival 2002 tour.[41][42] The 9 children who went onto form the band named themselves S Club Juniors. One of them, Connor, left the band early but the others remained in the group and went on to release seven UK singles and three studio albums.

2001–2002: Hollywood 7/Sunshine

"Never Had a Dream Come True" had marked a more mature direction for the group whilst still retaining their pop sensibilities. Their next single continued in this mature direction. "Don't Stop Movin'" was a disco/pop track. It was released in April 2001 and became the group's third number one single.[43] Although it was knocked off the top the following week by Geri Halliwell's single "It's Raining Men", it re-occupied the top spot two weeks later.[44] The group won the Record of the Year 2001, for "Don't Stop Movin'",[45] and in February 2002, the single also won the group their second BRIT Award for 'Best British Single'.[46]

There was then a longer than usual gap before a further single was released. After proposals to release "You", S Club 7 were invited once again be involved in the Children in Need campaign, and so a ballad was felt more appropriate. Hence the next single, in November 2001, was "Have You Ever". This song was co-written by Ivor Novello Award-winning song writers Chris Braide and Cathy Dennis. The performance on the night featured many primary school children who had pre-recorded their own versions of the chorus.[47] The single became their fourth number one[48] and acted as an introduction to the group's third album, Sunshine, which was released on November 26, 2001. As well as "Never Had a Dream Come True", "Don't Stop Movin'", and "Have You Ever", it included a number of other tracks, such as the Rachel Stevens-led "Show Me Your Colours", and "Stronger", an uptempo club track with lead vocals by Tina Barrett. The album peaked at #3 in the United Kingdom.[49]

The group finally released "You" on February 11, 2002, the theme song to the third series of their TV show Hollywood 7 (S Club 7 in Hollywood in the US). The third series saw the group relocate from Los Angeles to Hollywood. The series also saw an on-screen kiss between Hannah Spearritt and Paul Cattermole, who had begun dating in real life.[50] "You" reached #2 in the United Kingdom.[51]

2002–2003: Viva S Club/Seeing Double

In March 2002, before the launch of their fourth series Viva S Club, Paul Cattermole announced he was leaving the group to join a nu-metal band formed by his school friends. He remained with S Club until June 2002 and continued to date fellow member Hannah Spearritt.[52] Paul featured in five of the thirteen episodes of Viva S Club, before leaving the group who had, in the show, moved to Spain. The S Club Juniors also appeared in several episodes.

In September 2002, a collection of Walt Disney songs covered by pop and rock artists was released. Entitled DisneyMania, S Club recorded Elton John's "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" from the The Lion King. In the song, Jon and Jo take lead vocals.

Template:Sound sample box align left Template:Multi-listen start Template:Multi-listen item Template:Multi-listen item Template:Multi-listen end Template:Sample box end After Paul's departure, the remaining six members stayed together under the name "S Club". Their first single under this name, was "Alive"—the theme music to Viva S Club—and was released on November 18, 2002; it peaked at #5.[53] They then went on to release their final studio album, Seeing Double, on November 25, 2002. This album built upon the strengths of the group's earlier work and adopted a pop/dance approach with an R&B feel on several of the tracks. However, the album stalled at #17 on the UK charts[54] and no further singles were immediately forthcoming as Jo O'Meara was immobilised due to a serious back condition.[55]

In April 2003, S Club released their movie Seeing Double. The film's release was marked by rumours that the group were about to split, which were quickly denied by the group.[3] However, on April 21, 2003, the rumours were confirmed when it was announced live on stage—during their S Club United tour—that, after a final single and greatest hits album, S Club would part ways.[4] The band cited a mutual split, expressing it was simply a time "to move on and face new challenges".[4] Many fans felt "betrayed" and "disappointed" by the split as the group had denied rumours only two weeks before at the Seeing Double premiere.[56]

The final single was a double A-side, coupling "Love Ain't Gonna Wait for You" (from "Seeing Double") with a new ballad, "Say Goodbye". Like their first single, "Bring It All Back", "Say Goodbye" saw lead vocals shared around the group. The single reached #2 in the UK, beaten to the top spot by R. Kelly's "Ignition (Remix)",[57] and was included on S Club's greatest hits album, Best: The Greatest Hits of S Club 7, released in June 2003. This compilation brought together the group's releases with a previously unreleased track, "Everybody Get Pumped" and 7 track "Bring the House Down". The album reached #2 in the United Kingdom.[58] S Club eventually split up after the release of "Say Goodbye" on May 26, 2003.

On April 27, 2003, it was reported that Hannah Spearritt's parents had hired lawyers to chase payments owed to them by Simon Fuller and his management company.[59] They claimed that out of the 75 million fortune the band made for Fuller, they only received 150,000 a year of it.[59] There was also controversy when the band had to travel economy class to America and when Fuller did not turn up for the premiere of Seeing Double.[59] The criticism put to Fuller was similar of that in 1997 when the Spice Girls fired him for being too controlling.[60]

After the group split up, the S Club Juniors rebranded "S Club 8". They also went on to film CBBC show I Dream, releasing their third studio album under the same name.[61] S Club 8 eventually disbanded in 2004.

Musical style

The style of music S Club 7 normally falls under is pop, or more specifically bubblegum pop, as well as manufactured pop. This is certainly the case for their first album, S Club where simple lyrics, three-chord structures and danceable beats define it so. Their first singles focussed on sharing the lyrics around the group, and it was not until their third single, "Two in a Million" that Jo O'Meara became known as their lead vocalist. Even their first album had many tracks untypical of the genre: "You're My Number One" and "Everybody Wants Ya" were motown driven[62] as well as "Viva La Fiesta" and "Buenos Tiempos (It's an S Club Thing)", which were "bouncy, salsa-driven Latino songs".[62]

Over the years, their style and direction changed dramatically. Even as early on as their second album 7, the song styles were beginning to change from the traditional pop stylings of "Bring It All Back" to a new, "R&B-lite" sound with the release of "Natural" in 2000.[63] The release of their third album, Sunshine, gave fans the group's biggest change yet. From their "disco-influenced", "Don't Stop Movin'" to their "R&B ballad", "Show Me Your Colours", the album marked a more mature approach for the band.[64]

With the departure of Paul, S Club released their fourth and final album, Seeing Double which contained many songs with styles not yet explored by the group. The group released "Alive" which was a "power-packed dance floor filler",[65] a style which matched that of their final single "Love Ain't Gonna Wait for You". The album also contained many other dance tracks and songs far removed from their original bubblegum pop stylings, such as the "sex for the CBBC generation" in "Hey Kitty Kitty".[66] Although, in one review, referring to "Gangsta Love", "S Club's spiritual home is the suburban disco, not urban underground clubs, and their attempt to go garage on "Gangsta Love" ends up amusing rather than authentic".[67]

Of course, throughout their releases, S Club 7 always kept their original pop roots, with songs such as "Reach",[63] "You"[64] and "Say Goodbye".

After S Club

Tina Barrett has kept a relatively low profile since the split. When they first announced they were to break up, she expressed interest in working on a solo career.[68] However, Tina has not released any solo material. In August 2003, a doctor's son was jailed for six months after sending threatening e-mails to Tina.[69] She was also romantically linked to David Schwimmer in 2004.[70] However, this romance was not taken any further when he moved back to America.[71]

Since leaving S Club 7 in June 2002, Paul Cattermole joined his high school nu-metal band Skua. However, they broke up soon afterwards. He then joined Charlie Bullitt but the band broke up in November 2005.[72] Paul also dated fellow band member Hannah for five years.[50] On his MySpace page, he expresses interest in releasing an album in 2008.[73]

Jon Lee stuck to his expressed interest in theatre[68] when he signed up to appear in Les Misérables on the West End in 2004.[74] He played Marius Pontmercy in the production. Jon is also set to appear as the voice of Max in an animated version of Enid Blyton's Famous Five.[75] Jon will also appear in an updated version of James Hick's Telstar where he will play Billy Fury.[76]

Instead of wanting a solo career, Bradley McIntosh wanted to focus on production and writing.[68] However, nothing was heard of him until he joined four other ex-pop stars for MTV's Totally Boyband creating the band Upper Street. After their debut single only reached #35, the group became very quiet and it's presumed that they split up after the departure of their manager Jonathan Shalit.[77]

Jo O'Meara took time out after S Club because of a serious back condition.[55] On October 3, 2005 she released her debut solo single, "What Hurts The Most" and album, Relentless. Her single disappointingly went to #13[78] and her album charted even more poorly at #48.[79] After her disappointing album sales, Jo went back to her hobby of dog breeding. In 2006, she came third place in BBC talent show Just the Two of Us with partner Chris Fountain.[80] It was not until January 2007 that Jo became fully back into the public eye. She appeared on Celebrity Big Brother and was involved in a race row where it was alleged that she, along with Jade Goody and Danielle Lloyd, took part in racial bullying towards Shilpa Shetty.[81] After the event, it was reported that Jo had received death threats[82] and attempted suicide.[83] Since then, Jo has made no public appearances except at a gala performance for Comic Relief.[84] On January 19, 2008, Jo announced to the Daily Mail that she is six months pregnant with her first child.[85] In the article, she explains how she feels how her Big Brother experience has "made her a better person" and that she is considering taking part in a future charity show organised by Zoe Tyler.[85]

Hannah starring in Primeval.

Two days after the split, Hannah Spearritt auditioned for a role in Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London with Frankie Muniz and Anthony Anderson.[86] She won the role of Emily Sommers and her first acting role post-S Club. She took the part as Joan in horror franchise Seed of Chucky and also appeared in BBC's Blessed and independent short film Little Lily. In February 2006, she landed a lead role in ITV sci-fi drama series Primeval as Abby Maitland. The first series of the show is available on region 2 DVD and the second series began airing in January 2008. After breaking up with Paul, she got together with Primeval co-star Andrew-Lee Potts and moved in with him.[87] Hannah also appeared as the murder victim, Tilly Rice, in an ITV production of Agatha Christie's At Bertram's Hotel. Hannah has expressed no interest in starting a solo career since the band split.

Rachel Stevens has perhaps carved the most successful solo career out of all the former S Club 7 members. Less than a month after the group disbanded, Rachel signed a £1 million record contract with Polydor Records and re-signed with Simon Fuller.[88] Her first single, "Sweet Dreams My LA Ex", was released on September 15, 2003 and reached #2 in the UK.[89] Her first studio album, Funky Dory was released on September 29, 2003 and reached #9.[90] Rachel went on to release six more UK singles and a second album, which only reached #28 in the charts.[91] She has released no new material since 2005. More recently, Rachel has expressed an interest in launching an acting career[92] after briefly appearing in Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo and Spider-Plant Man for the Comic Relief 2005 campaign. Rachel has recently lent her voice to BBC Scotland animated series "Glendogie Bogey", where she will play Patricia Ravelston.[93] Stevens has described her character as a "real dizzy dora, but at the same time she's really smart and doesn't miss a trick".[93]

In September 2007, Rachel claimed she would never rule out an S Club reunion.[94] In a recent interview with OK! Magazine, Jon and Hannah discussed how they've both remained friends since S Club's split. They admitted that they've lost touch with Jo since the Celebrity Big Brother controversy and Rachel, except when meeting at showbiz parties. When asked about a reunion, Jon said, "Never say never—but no!".[95]
