Do you remember Alice DeeJay?

by **NickRivas** » Tue Nov 01, 2011 6:14 am

Best knows for their singles "Better Off Alone" (#2 UK) and "Back In My Life" (#4 UK)...what happened to them? I remember seeing an old interview on youtube that took place in 2002 (about 2 years after the release of their first album) where Judy (the lead singer) was talking about them recording a new album...but that never happened, and i'm sure they could have had many more hits in the UK....Better Off Alone would have probably been #1 if it hadn't been blocked for some weeks from the top spot by "Livin' la Vida Loca" by Ricky Martin...back in 1999...

I do indeed! I have most (all?) of their singles.

My favourite, actually, was The Lonely One, which still sounds fresh, and the video still looks good!

Those Svenson/Gielen productions were quite good - I wonder whatever became of Airscape?

Judy no longer works in the music business - but is now a successful stylist and make-up artist and often styles local music acts for video shoots - check out her website.

By the way:

what happened to Alice Deejay?

It was beaten by 'If I Let You Go - Westlife' by approximately 600 copies one week!

I really like Alice DeeJay and bought their album too. But the only song I still listen to is 'Better Off Alone'.

I've always thought that Alice DeeJay was a solo act not a band :lol:

Oh I used to love her/them.

Better off alone and Lonely One were my favs at that time. Incredible is the thing her album was quite a decent seller in USA!!

My favs: Will I Ever and Back In My Life

by **NoAngels** » Wed Nov 02, 2011 5:54 pm

Of course I do. She was being played a lot back then.

I never liked Will I Ever.

Celebrate Our Love was nice.

Better off alone is one of my favourate dance songs ever. True classic, especially the awesome production. The extended Club mix is the best imo. There were also other remixes which didn't do the song any justice.

my favorites are Back In My Life and Will I Ever.. Why was the whole "Alice Deejay" project finished when it was so successful? I mean not even a 2nd album??

They took some good advice: "Quit While You're Ahead".

I've always wonder why also.
Here's the interview where she was talking about her second album...which was never made

It's so strange

I remember better off alone was so popular here in the US...it would be played a lot 8-)

by **IceAngel** » Sun Jul 01, 2012 2:16 pm

I used to love her/their songs!

Better Off Alone, Back In My Life and Will I Ever are perfect dance songs

I completely agree. Better Off Alone to this day is still a Massive Tune! It still sounds fresh.

Aww, and do you remember irishguy and AlexZ? :cry:

by **RockTheBoat** » Sun Jul 01, 2012 10:43 pm

They had some good tracks, although I feel like the quality of their singles declined with each single they released.

'Better Off Alone' was (and still is) a tune!

by **randomness** » Sun Jul 01, 2012 11:34 pm

Better Off Alone and The Lonely One... pure magic.

Better Off Alone takes me back, great song

Yeah, though I never heard her sing live..she would always lip synch
