Bananarama - The Meldrum Tapes interview

[@stiofandundealgan1280]

Keren, definitely a bombshell ; so gorgeous, my favorite Bananarama by far and for ever !

[@robertwilson214]

Messy bedhead 🙄

[@UnderSprayedWhiteSkies]

I don't remember checking them out in the mid-80s when they were the hottest, all female pop act. I vaguely remember the baggy outfits and undone hair in a video or two, but if I knew Keren was so stunning, I would have followed her more closely. I graduated from hs in 1984, so I definitely heard their music often.

[@ZadenZane]

I never really had a favourite Banana. But I wish Siobhan hadn't left!

[@kevinstarski1598]

I agree!

[@shable1436]

They were living with the punk crowd in Soho, so they dressed in that style, very raggedy teenager unkept looking until they had managers, and executives telling them how to look to be more appealing, and then Siobhan stopped looking like a boy as much then, and even got Robert de Niros attention 😂

[@jeanlucdrion1152]

I like these ladies alot. Just genuine and smart.

[@andypalos5210]

Keren, She is very beatuful ! wwwooowwww

[@bndtChristian]

I love Keren Woodward... she`s simply bewitching ♥♥♥

[@hardsam68]

All hail the beautiful Siobhan

[@chrisl7632]

The three of them it worked so well thanks for the good days and songs love ❤️

[@jeanlucdrion1152]

I still adore them the same as in 83 and onwards.

[@ppgedez]

I’m not complaining but suddenly You Tube has decided i need to watch lots of stuff by Bananarama . 🍌

[@Zlervo]

Siobhan is an absolute knockout. She's so gorgeous.

[@markserour9115]

I'll take Keren any day over the others.

[@MUFSpoiler]

no, Keren Woodward

[@ralph6968]

i could stay all day long just watching Keren , so lovely.

[@UnderSprayedWhiteSkies]

Another level attractive. Back in the day I never knew what she (or any of them) looked like.

[@marcoalvarenga8291]

Dance with a stranger! The pearl of the album

[@marcoalvarenga8291]

@@cdc0427 Sad and beauty

[@battywattywoo]

I prefer A Trick of the Night.

[@Cicilo1983]

I could not agree more. That song is out of this world To be honest, that sequence of the album - "A trick of the night", "Dance with a stranger" and "In a perfect world" was in a league of its own, and remains my favorite Bananarama moment.

[@marcoalvarenga8291]

@@Cicilo1983 I completely agree with you

[@bpabustan]

Keren Woodward - SO GORGEOUS!

[@largol33t1]

God they're so gorgeous.

[@ZadenZane]

1:07 I can tell Siobhan really loved working with"Waterman, Stock & Aitken"🤪 PS I looked up Bananarama's discography and found out Trick of the Night only got to number 31. What an outrage!! BTW people talk about "manufactured bands" but none of the poo groups i liked when I was growing up was"manufactured" and that includes Bananarama. Most of the bands I liked either went to school together or were on the "Blitz club scene" or seened to meet at art school. (Why art school though?)

[@Danyelvasquez]

I love this album first song to last. Their style was my fav this era.

[@x.ryelandvincent3509]

I so love "Trick of the night and "Ghost the ballets were my fav tracks then came the rest! love BANANARAMA!!!

[@glamnesianouveaux2039]

YES!!!!!

[@lewisskinner7027]

Keren is gorgeous

[@highheartwellness]

6:41 A Trick of the Night is their favorite song on the album, mine too

[@halloweenville1]

Sara is rocking the classic 80's fuchsia lip.

[@scrubbersteve]

I was just thinking about this interview the other day! Thanks for uploading. :)

[@ohnoitisnathan19]

Steve L No probs. I've got a bunch of other TV interviews etc. from the 80s & 90s. At some point I'll add some more that aren't already on youtube.

[@daisypetal2487]

These are nice ladies. A highschool mate of mine met them at a record signing. They were very sweet to her.

[@Alfiethebarber]

Keren is still as stunning today, she's from good jeans obviously, check out the video Rough Justice, she's in a league of her own here, a real stunner that I've had a crush on for over 30 years ;-)

[@fairybits]

Genes,not jeans.

[@bndtChristian]

She has the most beautiful smile I have ever seen.

[@aprildannettegosa5381]

@Nemesis Now That is not true they are all real women and gorgeous only a troll would say something like that

[@danmadden9917]

You and a billion other people have had a crush on Karen for 35 years, she is very gorgeous.

[@Theyoutuberpolyglot]

fairybits He is so in love that he even made that typo.

[@daisypetal2487]

I like their ballads. Cheers Then is a nice song and a beautiful video. Dance with a Stranger, Trick of the Night. These pretty ladies did have versatility in their songs I still like. They were the prettiest 3 girl band. I grew up with their music. Their outfits are so cute.

[@bmw128racer]

Keren! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@Pancake3225]

I think all three are gorgeous in their own ways but I'm more partial to Sara. I don't know why I just saw the video to Cruel Summer and I thought her energy was appealing and definitely sexy. She still is till this day. One thing is for sure though, they have more talent than like 99.8 percent of today's music acts. Definitely a shame that I was born in the wrong generation. Would have loved to been around to see them in the 80s.

[@kimtran2420]

My god they are so beautiful!

[@Zlervo]

I love that classic 80s look. Big silver hoops and bright lipstick.

[@squatch545]

Holy shit Keren is gorgeous!

[@lucreziaricciuto990]

THE BEST PERIOD😍😍😍😍

[@bananaramafanclub3679]

siobhan, she is very beautiful i love

[@cazpk6840]

I cannot think straight when Keren smiles.Trick of the night did better than they thought it would worldwide. Interview is great, some subtitles are hilarious.

[@uugabuuga3086]

Cuties 😙😍❤

[@onlyme219]

The ladies seem very honest and nice during this interview, I'm late to the party it's now 2022, that said total kudos to them

[@BroccoliBeefed]

@ 7:03 sec. "Trick of the night" was a huge hit in the USA ---- One of their best songs. These dames have sold about 45 million records!

[@jamiegrifter]

BroccoliBeefed It got to number 76 in the USA so was hardly a big hit. It managed number 23 in the UK so it actually did better with the U.K. Market .

[@ohnoitisnathan19]

32 in the UK actually.

[@jamiegrifter]

ohnoitisnathan19 Number dyslexia sorry 😂

[@haystalk1234]

Why does Keren remind me so much of Robert smith, hell she even talks like him

[@iesussuarez8425]

Keren the most beuty women in the 80s ...

[@triadafillos1]

for me the most attractive and distinctive Banana has always been Sarah. Siobhan has always seemed the most creative and funny one, and Keren the most boring. The true confessions and Venus era was for me their best time

[@jamiegrifter]

Best Banana album ever! Seriously sophisticated pop! The follow up album WOW was the right direction for them to keep them in the charts, but I much prefer the direction that they were taking here with Swain and Jolley.

[@Cicilo1983]

True Confessions was a very sophisticated album, dark and moody at times, some great lyrics in there, and it was even a bit experimental at times. It will always be my favorite album of theirs.

[@glamnesianouveaux2039]

True Confessions will always be my favourite Bananarama album. WOW was a step in the WRONG direction, it may have given them more chart success but it drove Siobhan out of the band and the mood and mystery was gone :-(

[@glamnesianouveaux2039]

@@Cicilo1983 exactly ****

[@glamnesianouveaux2039]

Absolutely!!!!

[@ChasingTone666]

Siobhan is by far the sexiest creature I’ve ever seen. So much energy, humor and that smile………

[@DPF1963]

The best British girl group ever ❤

[@JasmineSurrealVideos]

Keren reminds me of Boy George when she smiles, just something there, they all look great don't they, I liked their style, they put it together themselves, sewing and customising stuff like I do, I still wear the red lip, hoops and boyfriend jackets now lol. They were the only girl band I ever liked, their shambolic, humorous and thoughtful pop music, videos, and appearance. They went well with Fun Boy Three as well.

[@robertwiegman1]

So cool to watch Karen singing Stuff Like That now then seeing this from so long ago :)

[@madfingdanbele4333]

They just take me to a place. I question myself...the love, which includes respect off course, of women. Also being lucky in life to be with someone like one of them. So all that, and finally how much joyful a man would be considering all that?

[@fionatsangarides6201]

Love , truth and honesty is a slow song kind of

[@TJgeminiguy]

"Trick of the Night" is a good song, but I don't think I'd classify it as a ballad.

[@KayleighNatasha]

Shocking Blue's version like the Banana's version peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100

[@HardRockMiner]

The original Spice Girls

[@ohnoitisnathan19]

Except they weren't manufactured.

[@DannyM.D.N.A]

HardRockMiner yeah right spice girls piss over these

[@DannyM.D.N.A]

ohnoitisnathan19 only thing manufactured about spice was how they met ... apart from that you can’t call them manufactured the write all their stuff. Dumped the original management and found a new team all of their own back They were original and magic

[@glamnesianouveaux2039]

Kerens fake London accent 😂

[@vordman]

Not really a surprise. I mean, have you heard the Bristol accent?

[@blinkypushbuttons]

All these women are gorgeous but also average looking. People are weird the way they dramatize beauty so much. It’s just another way of keeping women in their place and taking away credit for achievements. Instead of being a GREAT and talented, amazing creators and innovators they get to just be “PRETTY GIRLS”. Whatever, Weirdos.

[@Cicilo1983]

As much as I love this trio - and believe me, I do -, they're some of the most boring interviewees ever.

[@westley5735]

While I do agree, I do think it is unfair to completely ignore the bond between the two. They are all so happy and proud of the time they did. Let’s be positive!
