So hot, some UK retailers sold it before its release date and the single debuted on the singles chart early at #72! Then, it went crashing it at #2! :o Aycarumba!  [url=http://www.content.loudeye.com/scripts/hurl.exe?~sss-600111/0309375_0102_00_0002.ra ]Clip[/url] It should've been the US "Buzz" single rather than the insipid "Mars and Venus (We Fall In Love)." |

One of their better songs. This song fit the Max Martin & company teen pop style to a "t".
And I think it would have been their best chance at success here in the US.

One of their best, definately. They did it live on top of the pops. Claire was ace, she did this really high, almost operatic extended note. Then poor Lisa had to do that bridgey bit and sounded terrible. LOL!

Then poor Lisa had to do that bridgey bit and sounded terrible. LOL! I always thought they lip-synced on that show. Cause I've always heard they lip-sync 95% of the time, overseas? I dunno though. Anyways I really don't like them at all but for some reason I cannot stop listening to this song! I listen to it at least 20 times a day. I'm addicted.    |

Wow, this must be their best music video. Everybody looks so good. Lee looks like the perfect Mr. Darcy. Lisa looks so hip with her braces and blue streaks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9jXTQ9gMcw |

Usually they did, which was why it was interesting to hear them sing live. Claire really was GREAT. I'd love to see that performance again. Poor lisa though, she was SO off key/ |

Bump because i'm on a Steps nostalgia kick right now. I know they were objectively horrible, but I don't care. This was one of their best songs! I've never actually seen the video, but it's reallynice...the dance routine is only semi-cheesy. really, what was the point of that? I think Jive wanted them to bomb. "Mars and Venus" was one of the worst Steps songs ever, only superseded by "5,6,7,8" and that ballad about H losing his virginity  |

I remember they tried to cross over to the US with this song. Nickelodeon played the video for this sometimes. I know I liked it back then but I haven't heard it in years and forgot how it goes. |
