We all need motivation all the time, then why not kids? Here's a Children's motivational/inspirational book for u all... It shifted abit but then, obviously, The XFactor came along,” he continues. ​ “And that machine was so big and so powerful that you then did have to sort of take what was going on. It was areal rollercoaster, as they say, of people not being able to say what they wanted. Or if you did, you were branded abitch, or difficult, or rude.” The story of a chance is about a small boy who finds a chance. I would definitely read this aloud to students to inspire them also. The reader will follow the boys journey as he takes chances and fails. What if you don’t get another chance? Don’t be afraid to take a chance that you have and regret it. Be brave and take a chance on yourself. A chance may be the start of something beautiful. Sean We had a lot of moments when we really did get on but there were bits of testosterone and bits of friction here and there. Just lads living together trying to find their feet. It wasn’t always great but we did have some laughs.

Ritchie They wanted a band with edge and that’s what they bloody well got. We’re all very strong characters so eventually there’s going to be those eruptions. We were young, we didn’t have that level of maturity.Cragg’s central thesis is that, essentially, they don’t make pop like they used to. It’s a convincing one. Acts today are neither quite as DayGlo nor as recognisable. There’s no Top of the Pops for them to appear on, no Smash Hits magazine to feature them. Mental health is now centre stage, and there is at last slightly less objectification. The book reminds us of the treatment towards Kym Marsh, member of reality TV band Hear’Say, about whom producer “Nasty” Nigel Lythgoe said: “Christmas is coming, and the goose is still fat.” It points out, too, that Sugababes’ Mutya Buena was required to work throughout her pregnancy, and then, in time to film a new video just a couple of months later: “I was the skinniest I’ve ever been.” Sean There were frictions within the band. And between the band and management. Then the band and the label. Frictions everywhere. Chris Herbert It burned them out. In hindsight, I would never do that again. We took on too much too soon. Formed in May 1997, Five, AKA Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson, J Brown, Sean Conlon and Abz Love, released their debut single Slam Dunk (Da Funk) just six months later and found themselves living in a house together as teenagers. The band’s 11 UK Top 10 singles, three Top 5 albums and two arena tours spanned less than a four-year period. That it ended in burnout, depression and fist-fights was hardly surprising given their light-speed ascent. In recent years, there has been a happy ending of sorts with Neville, Robinson and Conlon reuniting as a three-membered Five and releasing a new album last year. But it all started out via five lads standing out from an initial crowd of 3,000 wannabes that featured a pre-fame Russell Brand among their number … In life, all people need some kind of motivation to move ahead and dream of a difficult goal. Some search it in a book, a movie, a quote, or dreams. These reach for the stars quotes will be perfect for you.

Sean Conlon I saw Abz at my audition. He had some sunglasses on and looked a little bit like how Peter Andre used to dress. He really stood out from the whole queue. The books in the what do you do with…are all fantastic. They teach lessons that are valuable to us and sometimes we need reminding of how to use these things. Reach for the Stars: and Other Advice for Life's Journey is a children's picture book written and illustrated by Serge Bloch, which tells a story about various life lessons, like reaching for the stars, to anyone including children. Man stands alone in the universe, responsible for his condition, likely to remain in a lowly state, but free to reach above the stars." Reach for the Stars is a wonderful way to encourage and congratulate those, regardless of age, who are celebrating a milestone…and feel ready to SPREAD THEIR WINGS AND FLY!

It’s from Redbubble,” admits Cragg of the Sound of the Underground-branded tee. So, not an original piece of tour merch. ​ “I’m not ahuge fan of all the songs [on the album], but Brian did his best to rescue it,” he adds, the namedrop typical of Cragg’s encyclopaedic knowledge of the period. Mark Beaumont (writer for Melody Maker and NME) It was the first show of strength of the internet because the Brits were the establishment stronghold and here was Belle and Sebastian using the weight of their fanbase to break the stranglehold of pop. I think it was the first high-profile example of the internet being used to shift culture. When you reach for the stars you may not quite get one, but you won't come up with a handful of mud either."
