[@1corycar]

I'm 54 now... and you are just as beautiful to me today as when I was a kid in the 80's. PLEASE keep up the great work!!!!

[@djskdjsk28]

I absolutely adore these women, they have given me nothing but joy since my teenage years and still do to this day and I’m now 50😋Love the bond they have, the giggles, knowing what the other will say and just the reminiscing. Thank you Queens👑♥️👑♥️👑♥️👑♥️👑♥️👑♥️👑♥️

[@kf31paris]

Idem ! Cheers from France

[@naex66]

they were beautiful then, they are beautiful now. Greet from Slovakia

[@josephdennis8473]

I'll be a Bananarama fan forever. This kind of lifetime of friendship and genuine camaraderie only adds to the magic of the music I've loved for so long. Just gave "Wow!" some spins recently and it remains brilliant.

[@Markis5150]

Everyone looks back at yesterday. Good laughs,proud moments,coming full circle and seeing how we've changed. A time to reflect.

[@lunamendiola3996]

They seem so sweet

[@Cycle.every.day.]

Own it. I loved it, i still love it.

[@SPIKE-0000]

They're still stunning!..."Cruel Summer" 84...8-yrs-old...better days!....

[@ajayjackson7727]

both girls are still really beautiful, they were a great band

[@AC-ss2sv]

My goodness - so much. My father, in the middle of the night purchased tix to the show in Times Square for myself and 2 friends. It was the nicest thing he’d ever done. XOXOXO

You both look gorgeous....👍👍🇸🇻

[@cambellevans9945]

I'd forgotten how much of a crush I had on Keren Woodward back in the 80s.

[@johnboyzan3304]

I had a huge crush on her during their please yourself era!

[@tomsimon1974]

best 80s girl group, oh how i miss that decade. i was playing Venus in my car yesterday, windows down, system UP! letting the young ones know what real music is!

[@vicp8772]

They have the best voices together...loved them in my teens, love them now in my 50s, pls tour again

[@ChrisDWXX]

Fabulous ladies. So talented. I hope you go on and on ❤❤🎉🎉

[@corygarfman]

I love bananarama! I fondly remember the 80s! Keep rock’in! You are still gorgeous!!!!

[@davejackson3284]

I remember meeting Keren and Sara at Pride in, wait for it, 1994. They were an absolute hoot. I was so nervous about to go on stage and they took the piss out of me something shocking but it did relax me. So many happy memories of these wonderful people. Always made time for people, always up for a laugh and always very bloody cheeky. Thanks girls. Great you're still doing what you do best - making people smile! Love Dave :-)

[@chrishannon8187]

Great memories

[@clairrollings3988]

I could cry with the memories this is evoking in me, I love the fun of it all in those days so natural and relaxed.

[@davejackson3284]

Nostalgia can actually stir up some emotions that you don't know how to handle, don't you think? Smile, be happy! At least you were there to enjoy it before the work got so fucked up Clair. X

[@RBS_]

....I'm not even finished with this, yet, but, I MUST say this....I love that The 'Nana's (LONGTIME fan here, to call them that), don't live in the 'past'...They are MATURE Women now, looking back fondly on their incredible history , becoming the UK'S biggest Girl Group.... (CONT.) ...they may not vividly remember it all, because they were CREATING it and the finished product(s) speak for themselves.....They are now 80's LEGENDS, & can bask in their youthful days, and, 'Cruel Summers'.....Thanks Keren, Jacquie, Siobhan, & Sarah....

[@clintmesle7613]

Always had a crush on Keren (still do!) :-)

[@MountainMan.]

You both are gorgeous. It's insane how gorgeous you still are.

[@dontellahfonne]

I like when Sara and Keren each sing along to the songs as they watch :)

[@kylereese4822]

Some of them early images put on t-shirts with " do you know this person " on them.... for some goofy fun lol :) or may-be recreate the clothing and hair.... ??

[@kylereese4822]

BANANARAMA oooh The Karate Kid and a new version on Cobra Kai...kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4m4gZaIrdaefsk&ab_channel=KariKimmel-Topic

[@TheSpookyDuke]

Once you lived the 80s you stay there forever ...

[@Markis5150]

Well Said. Absolutely the Golden Era🔥

[@rolandbaldwin]

This is fantastic. I'd love to see loads more of these.

[@craigorlikowski2507]

Absolutely stunning then, absolutely stunning now! Just gorgeous!

[@paulmfti]

As stunning today as they were back then….aged beautifully….jeeezus….

[@phil7301]

You look absolutely Gorgeous ladies, you weren't too bad back in the day either 👍

[@thrusta100]

Cringe! Where Siobhan? Was hotter ! “ your history “...😍👍

[@arclight2012]

Loved them then, still love them now!

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

All 3 if these ladies were/are drop dead gorgeous,but Siobhan was on another level of beauty back then. Imho

[@PC4USE1]

I may be a little older than your average fan(65) but I liked your songs when you hit the music scene(I was 28 in 1984). I thought you were cute and talented girls and you still are talented and beautiful women now. This video came up at random but I am glad it did.

[@knightfly28]

Omg!!! I absolutely love you ladies!! Huge fan!!! I really miss the 80’s. Ps: you 2 look fabulous!

[@cameoxvilb3174]

So good to see them back then and now. Excellent!

[@viewerabundzu6887]

original girl power❤

[@veeganboy]

Great watching them react/reflect on their experiences with a sense of fun and pride. (...and little bit of forgetfulness! haha)

[@MarriedToTheKGB]

I like these two fun women so much. The other one was a bit forgetful. Glad to see they are both still beautiful and enjoying themselves

[@Ineedyoulou]

Keren & Sara used to be friends with my mum & used to pop up to my mum's house in Holborn in the early 80s .. I myself used to go up to their house too in Holborn when the girls were with fun boy three.. they used to give my mum new albums before they came out.. excellent times

[@sarahbrennan1342]

Great story .. did they keep in contact with your mum

[@Ineedyoulou]

@@sarahbrennan1342 My mum sadly passed away back in 1992. I've moved away from Holborn now. Great memories growing up

[@sarahbrennan1342]

Steve Ah… I’m sorry to hear that 🙏🏻but seems like you have great memories of her…and she must of been a character if her friends were Bananarama .. 🤗seems like many people have moved out of London … enjoy your evening

[@philgrossman660]

Really good actually, what absolute sweeties they are!

[@figueiredra]

Her voices are still so musical and harmonic , and both still beautiful.

[@IsabelMartinez-zr2eb]

A trip down memory lane, I love it!

[@marklola12]

Looove you guys, i remember dancing and listening to the songs in this video...even from 1986 which i would have been 4, also to the bangles walk like an Egyptian.

[@MrDiddyDee]

Keren, I'm still in love, you were gorgeous then and still gorgeous now. Thanks for sharing these memories.

[@triadafillos1]

what an exciting, successful and long career you lovely Ladies have had! And the best is that you seem to have a lot of fun, with loads of laughing and joy. What a blessing for you and the world!

[@marcoalvarenga8291]

I am not nostalgic, I believe that each era brings out the best in itself, but when I hear Once in a Lifetime and Dance with a Stranger, two emotionally distinct songs, I feel transported to the 80s, something innocent and painful at the same time. You were, and are, my soundtrack to this day and you maintain that aura with a mix of emotions in so many different songs and styles. These memories of you make me feel this way. Big kisses from a big fan.

[@RWernsing]

Love those 2 songs

[@marcoalvarenga8291]

@@RWernsing very nice, Richard! They're among my favorites!

[@marksummers1736]

WOW they are beautiful

[@anthonylee6322]

Miss your music on the radio. Cheers

[@AllRequired]

I'm really pleased that Sara still has her lovely grin.

[@carlosv728]

They always have Karate Kid under the belt to count on, as long as Karate Kid is popular, they are locked in.

[@danieldewitt6045]

Just came across and added and subscribed!! In the mid-90's I was in a punk band in high school and started recording other bands in the garage. So, we were hanging in my room with a hardcore punk band I was recording. Listening to records. Just taking a break. And they freaked out with how many Bananarama records I had. All the 12"'s as well. And they thought it was so cool and were surprised. "Deep Sea Skiving" was on repeat in my car constantly. Haha.... And dig the cover of "No Feelings". Just love your records. Thank you for that music. And name inpired after a Roxy Music song?? And helped by Paul Cook?? Yeah, pretty cool!! So glad you're keeping on!! x

[@slickrick320]

Great seeing them both chatting to old clips 🙂

[@bstumer]

They still look beautiful!

[@Pdjohnners]

I absolutely loved this!

[@dabooser1048]

I was so "in love" with Keren when I was in high school in the 80s. she is still gorgeous.

[@erhan6095]

Gorgeous.. I saw Terry Hall smiling as much as he could.

[@precious_rose445]

I'm still listening to Bananarama forever Thank you☺️🌈❣️ from🇯🇵Japan🎈

[@wiseblood90]

I cant understand how beautiful these ladies are now

[@Shane-Flanagan]

Great idea for a video! Like opening up an old family photo album. I unfortunately wasn't around to experience the 80's but I just adore 80's music

[@hinemarietaiaroa395]

You’re both so hilarious as we watch you watching yourselves - need more of these clips

[@universalsoul7653]

Gosh I'd love to see the whole 4 of them tour together or even just do a few shows. I don't think they've ever all sang together with 4 have they?

[@Shane-Flanagan]

No

[@pauladams1915]

4 ?

[@Shane-Flanagan]

@@pauladams1915 Overall there have been four members of the group but they have only been a trio or duo. Originally a trio Sara, Keren, Siobhan. When Siobhan left she was replaced by Jacquie. When Jacqui left, Sara and Keren continued as a duo instead of replacing her.

[@johnbattle7518]

They both look AMAZING, I'm an 80s kid and I'm into 80s nostalgia. I watch movies and music videos then check out modern pictures and videos of performers and I usually get sadden because of the aging of my childhood pop culture icons but wow this is a different story entirely beautiful in the 80s and 2021😍😍😍 80s for life!!!

[@HaroldKelly]

So much fun!! Love to see your reactions and these flashbacks. We didn’t get commercials here in USA but I had heard of them. Awesome to get to see them finally. Love you both very much! Glad to see you so happy!!

[@joseyeastwood]

They look amazing!!!

[@jcmiles5815]

oh wow....love ya Sara and Keren! As an American fan, I grew up with you ladies in the 80's with Cruel Summer, the SAW era and beyond and still pumping the music out : ) As beautiful as ever! Gonna watch Part 2 now. Love the reactions to your younger selves))

[@osadayuki7268]

I'm surprised that two Japanese commercials were broadcasted with Bananarama in 1980s. :-D Although I was still not born in those day, my mom always listened to your music by my childhood.

[@christinechin1909]

The first record I ever bought was Bananarama & Fun Boy Three - It Ain’t What You Do Its the Way That You Do It, age 13.

[@christopherproietti645]

i've had to rewatch the TOTP appearance with the Fun Boy 3 three times already! i am erupting in laughter from both that absolutely shambolic performance and the Ladies' hilarious reaction to it! 😜

[@glamnesianouveaux2039]

The shambolicness is the thing that made Bananarama so brilliant and still so very post punk in their attitude. I have that performance on DVD which was released officially. I ADORE it

[@monroeboy80]

This was awesome. Much love from an American fan. ❤ Can't wait for part two.

[@antonmedvedev1128]

I love "Looking for Someone" playing in the background 🥰

[@adrienneleigh6962]

Love them so much! Bananas, forever!

[@CMANIS69]

AWESOME, can't wait to see more!

[@Ursabomb]

so much fun... such great hair!! such awesome music

[@CaptainX100]

Wow! They both still look absolutely beautiful! Greetings from Germany!

[@Camille_Anderson]

still remembering when i had to put a 2p coin on the arm of our record player to stop it jumping as i danced like a demon to my 7" of Robert de Nero's Waiting. they were better before stock aitken and watetman, they had their own sound & style. still cool girls today!!!

[@tomthomassony8607]

The 2p coin stuck on with blue tack?

[@Camille_Anderson]

@@tomthomassony8607 no!!! if only id have known though!!!🙏🤣

It was so fun to watch. Love these gals. 😊😊😊

[@antonmedvedev1128]

Oh my!!! Am over the moon seeing you again 😍🌼🌻💐 I knew you would come back with another nice and lovely video 🐶 Thank you 🙂 ps. Going to buy "Cruel Summer" 12" Inch again (found it at a music store in Saint Petersburg 😇) but my mom was like: You've already got it, haven't you? - I said yes but another one would not ruin my precious collection 😇🙃🙃🙃

ahhh so good to watch, brings back memories of that cool (not cruel) summer

This is just brilliant..thank you !

Their hilarious commentary over the Ain't What You Do clip had me nearly wetting myself. They are so funny ... 'At least you've got a shoe on!'

[@markflatters9819]

Hilarious...!! Loved your comments and reaction..👍😂

[@lizbeale-spanner1137]

I remember being in a very busy pub, mid eighties, and a bloke at the bar shouting, "hurry up, Robert de Niro's waiting"

Like fine wine that keeps getting better with age.

[@BOTG_Adventures]

They would both still get it :p and Im 51.

[@MrDirtpaw]

Lots of laughs, thanks for posting!

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

0:36 Sara with the hair in her eyes reminds me of the Jocks from the old The Jocks and the Geordies Dandy stories, where the Jocks would wear massive caps concealing their eyes, and I'd be wondering how they could see!!!! :P I do like that look, though. :P It gives her quite an enigmatic, mysterious vibe, I think. :P

[@SunShine-tw2fu]

You gals are true Goddesses!

[@howlinsg1968]

You girls are so sweet, sending lots of love from Tassie.

[@demonnight2029]

nice to see you ladies again

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

I wanna see a reaction to that interview where Sara backhands the green alien puppet, and then wipes the alien's skin off her hand with tissue like a badass, and shoves the tissue in the alien's mouth!!!! :P And then later, the alien gives her a shock by pounding away at the desk he's sitting at. :O

[@tracer1127]

Blimey they have got even better looking with age.

[@glamnesianouveaux2039]

THAT was sooooo super INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!

[@robertturner4526]

Really great. Thanks for sharing.

[@marez_3936]

I was surprised that Siobhan Fahey left Bananarama in 1988. So many years together and suddenly something didn't feel right. She formed the Shakespears Sister band which wasn't that good. Well, that's her business. It's a shame it turned out this way. As for Sara and Keren, it's nice that the friendship lasted.

[@DennisAlexis]

I love this video of Bananarama reacting to old TV clips. Hilarious! #Bananarama

[@RyanKeane9]

Aahhh love Bananarama❤️❤️

[@sugarbertie1143]

Sorry but Keren is still gorgeous. She's ageing extremely well and was an absolute hotty in the 80s. I liked their music as well, Cruel Summer and Movin On were great tracks.

[@saraheart2804]

They all look good. Time has been kind to them.

[@chriscarr7397]

I know you ladies did a song cover by Shocking Blue named, "Venus." But I'm curious about a couple of things. Years ago, have you ladies ever met the lead singer of Shocking Blue, Mariska Veres before she passed? Also, have you ladies ever used Shocking Blues' "Venus" karaoke theme? Because, I found a video on this site that there is a mashup video of you ladies singing "Venus" using their karaoke theme. I found it and I listened to it. It was so, very awesome!! And you ladies are so, very wonderful singers!! :-)
