From there, she became a sought-after vocal tutor, which opened the door to singing backing vocals for boyband Blue. Since then, Elle has toured or recorded with a dazzling list of artists including Will ...

Did you love the Boybands Forever documentary which Robbie was featured in recently? It was a great show, but it was also really sad to hear the negative sides of what most of the 90s/00s boybands went through. They each discussed their rise to fame and what they hysteria was like, but also how it affected their mental health, and left some of them with no money in the end. There’s one 90s boyband member who’s been discussing this topic and more with other pop stars on his own YouTube channel...

While I always enjoy fans gushing over Robbie, this one is a bridge too far. Perez is personally responsible for so much cruelty aimed towards numerous artists (most of whom didn't deserve it) that I can't take anything he says with a grain of seriousness or respect. He tells you he's not as well-known in America as he once was, but the reason for that is due to him basically being cancelled (before it was even a thing) because of his vile, crass & relentless bashing of artists he didn't like.
