Emma - Give a Little Love Back To The World

[addicted2tha80s]

I've always thought Emma looked like my idol Sonia. Loved this song, but the lyrics were a bit dodgy.

[MysteryOfTheFence]

Am I listening to the same song as the rest of you? I'm afraid I think this is a meagre, happy-clappy offering - little better than Samantha Janus' ill-fated effort the following year.

Give us Gina G any day over this!

[BluebirdintheSky]

@MysteryOfTheFence Samantha Janus' song is recognised by the juries as one of the better Eurovision entries but they admit that it got their backs up because the presentation was at odds with the lyrics and sentiment of the song.

"25 year old" Gina G's song was smelly pants of the stinkiest order.

[StarryVision]

What a hairdo o.o

[garymixer]

what a voice i bought that single in 1990 she reminds me a little of sonia ,similer hairstyles,and sonia also did this 3 years later

[dclore]

I love how Miriam's mic gets turned down for her sustained notes because she's so awesomely powerful! If you watch the version of this from Song For Europe she's holding the mic so far from her mouth because she drowns Emma out otherwise!

Miriam Stockly is just awesome... she is the blond backing singer who carries the song, she also did the job on the backing for Katrina and the waves in 1997 she was awesome then too.

[BluebirdintheSky]

@Aslan28 Katrina doesn't need vocal assistance.

[addicted2tha80s]

@Aslan28 Miriam Stockly became the lead singler with early 90s group Praise who scored a top ten hit with "Only You" and a year later they released the fantastic "Dream On" which did not chart which was disappointing really because I adored that song so much. Shame I don't have a copy of that song. I've only got the song "Only You". Their music was just so relaxing.

[markzilla6969]

i worked with her on a holiday camp for a few years, she's lovely, she's just become a mum.

[setenteromusic]

[joegreen7197]

[dbogdanovic]

[MrTvfreak2008]

I have the 7inch too. It still has its capital radio sticker on it. I got it during my radio days on a business trip to capital radio. aaah the memories.

Wonder what Emma is doing now, at 34.

[npuggmurr]

I still have it on 7" lol I loved the B side too Im sure it was something like dont turn around Nx

[npuggmurr]

Ive just remembered it was Dont wanna be around :)

[bigbackdoor]

I had this on 7'' vinyl too. I used to play the B side a lot too,until it got scratched.

I wish there had been an Emma album !!

[RetroChannelUK]

Loved this one, got it on 7" vinyl.

[jonathanpeterlee]

[13051967]

Nice song, whats Emma doing now? She should try for eurovison again, better then rubbish we have had last four years

[67625139]

reckon the message was there nearly 20 years ago, give a little love back to everyone and we might not have the crap we've got today.

Love the song (for its time)

[steps1]

very good song

[Xxfancythat79xX]

Her voice is awful! but they should still do these cheesy lovey dovey type songs - they are funny to watch rather than tragic like that load of rubbish last year-scooch or something.

[dedgeworth]

Ha ha, I used to fancy her! How times change ... and 331725, she wasn't an immigrant, she was Welsh, hence the accent.

[kzbxvz]

real eurovision.

[331725]

Their hairdos are a disaster, not even to speak of the awful outfits...and her English sounds very immigrant-like,Gosh...

[poetami]

very pure singing from emma

[simalko]

what a blast from the past and what a good song with meaning

[sneezymonkey]

I used to play this song over & over... until my mum threw the tape away aarrggh! :( I've never forgiven her! Fab song! :)

[stephen9478]

god i loved this song, could not stop listening to it, wonder what emma is up to now!

[hiEverybodyitsMe]

a very nice song.
