Claires solo career

[pcole]

When is Claire going solo any one know? What has she ben up to since H and Claire split

[Truestepper]

apart from getting married, stalking her hubby around on the Blue tour..and being soley responsible for the retail industry in London being such great state - shes not been up too much it seems. Lazy cow *lol*
She seems to want to come back - but when is anyones guess :/ :(

[Easty]

is she not taking time out to try and distance herself from Steps and H&Claire so that she can be a mature artist???

[Truestepper]

well in that case, we'd be waiting forever!

:lol: So true

You can never distance yourself from your past in the music industry, okay its not really hurt Robbie that much but it can hurt and do more bad than good for the majority of acts out there.

[Truestepper]

I dont think she wants to distance herself, shes not THAT blonde! Seemingly shes just lazy *lol* and enjoying being the 'old married woman'

[SeanieB]

lol she'll never loose the Claire from STEPS tag... im sure she knows that!

I think shes just taking her time enjoying doing what she likes for a while...

the time will come when she has to make the decision... does she have a go at goin solo or stay at home mothering the dancers offspring....

She'll have to have a go at going solo tho, if only out of curiosity... cause there will be a time she wont be able to... and what if will be playing on her mind...

[Shaggy]

She better. It's already been to long!

[Quazar]

mmaybe she'll surprise everyone and release something under a different name, now that would be interesting, it would help dissassociate her from steps, and would also silence a lot of folk when they found out it was her

[SeanieB]

lol Claire isnt that bright!

someone would have to tell her that idea....

although I am convinced everytime i hear Anistasia - Left Out Side Alone Claire is singin the intro!

[Skittles]

Hmm... I half see what you mean about Anastacia, but I'm not convinced, lol. :D

[steptacularsteps]

I actually think she should come back sooner... if not, she may be starting her solo career a little too old..

[Truestepper]

lmao, awwww poor Claire....not only is she blonde....but old as well!
Please note...Lee is nearly 30 and hes only just starting his.....Claires just a bairn compared to that old fogey ;)

[steptacularsteps]

Cheeky!

[SeanieB]

oh come on shes only 26... thats hardly old!

so long as she comes back before she has babies....

[steptacularsteps]

but she's taking sooooooo long...

[sand_tiger86]

At least she didnt lie like H and say "I'm quitting music" and then be in every musical known to man afterward. <_< not that I cared for his voice anyway...
Shes not too old though. 26 isn't even a whole lot past britney spears...if you think of it that way, she does'nt seem very old. Although if you compare her now to 3 years ago with Steps she appears to have done her bit of aging... :huh: lol

Stalking her hubby on the blue tour? what is all that about Claire's hubby was on blue tour?

hhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmm acourding to H in an interview sometime this year Claire wants to be Celion Dion but hasn't done much i have to say at least Lisa did do something since steps split (like manage her brothers then re-launchged her own solo career)

[Shaggy]

Errr didn't you here about the H & Claire project???Lol B)

[imported_steptoclaire]

lets be honest - she's lazy and is enjoying sitting on her backside/shopping for england... but hopefully at some stage her money will run done and then she'll be forced to come back :)

to be honest if she doesn't do it within the next couple of years i can't see her ever doing it.

[damatrix]

oh well let her gain weight and be ugly for the rest of her life if thats her destiny and she chose that destiney, let her be. lol

You so just done have a clue...

H Quit Music (ie. Releasing a song) - his first love was always theatre and thats what he is doing

[sand_tiger86]

Pardon me for not correctly identifying every quote and gesture H has stated. Like I said, I could care less about H, the gist of my post was more toward concerning Claire anyhow. Perhaps if people on this site didn't have such an attitude in need of a change it would be a little more populated, because I know with the way some of you treat others on this site a lot of people must've got up and left from here. Some of you act like you own and know everything there is to know about Steps and therefore you deserve more respect than others. Thats crap. What's even bigger crap, is that fact that everyone who bitches at people for being incorrect act like there are actually news topics left to discuss about steps/members of steps.

[Darian]

it seems that one can never avoid a minor bubbling argument in topics involving steps and their careers, lol
so anyway, i do hope she returns soon, out of all of steps, I think she has probably the most potential if she pick the right songs and stuff since her voice is so powerful =)

i dont wanna ague but i seem to find that Faye and Claires voicxes are the same and i think that if you get Faye, Claire and Jo from S Club i think Jo's voices stands out more with me and i find it hard to know whether its Faye or Claire singing unless i see them performing the song

[iluvuClarabelle]

*falls on floor laughing*

You cant tell the difference between Faye and Claires voice?!

They have quite different sounding voices so i dont know how u came to that.

And Claires is much more powerful so i dunno how u cant tell the difference!


And Claires is deffo more powerful than Jo's from S Club!

[sand_tiger86]

Fayes tends to be more high and whiney

[matti boi]

Faye's voice is a thiner, higher sound. Claire's was much deeper and more powerful i found. I did sometimes get confused between Faye and Lisa but only on a couple of songs. Like when I first heard Words Are Not Enough, I could tell Lisa started it and that Faye finished the verse cos it was a powerful note but I couldn't have told u where they changed over. Anyway about Claire, I hope she comes back too and I think it'll just be as a vocalist cos she was always the least capable dancer. Well she messed up more than the others anyway

[Poprox]

Who cares about dancing!? Claire Richards is a goddess, and I will worship anything she releases! Okay...that came out obsessive...hehehehehe...I don't have pictures of her anywhere...nope...anyway...Claire has a wicked voice, and in my opinion, she is the best singer. Her low notes always sound so soulful and deep, and her highs ( I do love Here And Now!!!!) especially when she holds them, are like crystals in the air. I loved her in Steps, and I loved her when she was "H&Claire"...that was a wicked album! What was the UK thinking!? Sorry, I am an American in love with British music...okay, only Pop music...the good kind. I think that she deserves any amount of a time off, but you are free to stalk her if you wish, if you truly want to see her...but that's creepy...She's always going to be the beautiful Siren to me...too bad she's already married! B)

[Steph]

I'd love Claire to have a solo career as I'd hate for that beautiful voice of hers to go to waste.

However, I think it's about time people could move on from the Steps thing. If Robbie was still being laughed at for being in Take That, he would never have been as successful as he is now.

There are a lot of solo artists who started their careers in groups and they're all doing fine, so why should our Claire?!

[sand_tiger86]

I guess because Steps have been the corniest act to hit the world (at least the one that lasted). H pretty much ruined any hope that they would be taken the slightest bit serious on anything they do. <_<

[lisa2002]

i think if wuz eva gonna return she'd have 2 totally change her image! She cud dye her hair black!, maybe loose a few pounds!

[iluvuClarabelle]

Oh god.... dont start with Claire needs to lose weight lol

*sharpens knives*

Claire should stay blonde IMO, and simply market herself as kind of a diva (vocally, not personality wise)

[SeanieB]

lol but Chris she IS a diva personality wise...!


Its weired.... every day I walk to work... I always think... tomorrow would be a great day for Claire to come back to the world...

It never happens...

I begin to wonder if it ever will :(

[iluvuClarabelle]

I think it'd be good if she was a diva personality wise.... at least it would give her some column inches...

Claire Richards demands 7 tv's in her dressing room, all connected to sky, and will not sing live unless a KFC is set up backstage.... just for her....



I have faith she'll come back.... eventually anyway, just needs something to spark her off again and she'll be away....

[SeanieB]

Yea im sure she will come back.... its just RAH..... hurry up!

[Skittles]

She might become a recluse like Agnetha from ABBA... :hide:

[SeanieB]

DONT even go there!


didnt Agnetha release recently tho...

[Skittles]

Yeah... 20 years after the split! :lol:

So we might see Claire again in 20 years or so!

[SeanieB]

yea but we never even saw agnetha... lol
