Jenny Berggren of Ace of Base, Haddaway, Real Mccoy, No Mercy, Mia Martina, and Chris Willis

One of the most quintessential movies to grace the 90s was “A Night At The Roxbury,” especially the iconic scene of Chris Kattan and Will Farrell hit the namesake club and starts a synchronized dance to Haddaway’s “What Is Love.” Pretty much since this movie came out and became a cult classic, Haddaway has forever been known for “What Is Love,” but what most people don’t know is that his entire repertoire contains the best things of typical 90s music.
Considering that he is known for being a one hit wonder, his live shows totally take advantage of this. His stages are set in this 90s retro look, and has a lot of background dancers dressed similarly to the way the girls in “A Night At The Roxbury” are dressed. Haddaway himself dresses down, wearing a simple pants, t-shirt and scarf. He performs all his best hits, like “Life,” “I Miss You” and “Rock My Heart;” all dance inducing songs that everyone in the crowd was taking advantage of. He obviously kept the best for last. Before starting his “What Is Love Performance” he builds up the anticipation by playing an extended intro to the song and then bringing out the dancers. The song is way better live because of the ridiculous amounts of energy that both the crowd and Haddaway put out.

In 2007 - on a Paris stage, next to David Guetta, Chris Willis showed off his vocal range by singing the song 'Love is Gone' acapella style in front of hundreds of screaming fans. The American singer originally started as a gospel singer but became internationally well known for his house collaborations with David Guetta. His performance in 2007 was unforgettable, I always liked his music videos for the attractive, oiled up, shirtless men and did enjoy his music as a bit of a guilty pleasure, but I never imagined he'd be so good without auto tune yet he proved me wrong. In 2009 he went on to tour with David Guetta again through Europe and has also been seen doing solo European dates since that. He released his single 'Louder' in 2010, which was always a song that made me want to get up and dance, even if it was slightly cheesy with the amount of strobe lights and gimmicky effects he used. I distinctly remember him wearing the baggiest/ most flared jeans possible when on stage with Guetta, which took him down in my scales massively, not a good look. Although he has a naturally beautiful voice, probably from his gospel days, but he wasn't a great presence on his own and was much more interesting performing with other singers/ composers. I think he should go back to singing gospel music as that's what he was best at, that kind of music combined with his voice wouldn't leave a single dry eye in the audience, but he was a bit too cheesy for my liking.
