"If you are a fan of Stock-Aitken-Waterman music of the late 80's (Rick Astley, Kylie, Bananarama, Sinitta, Mel & Kim) this is for you. Since the Stock-Aitken-Waterman split, Pete Waterman has produced Steps...an incredible act with world-wide success...I have all 3 of their albums. Honestly, though, Mike Stock was the real melody maker of Stock-Aitken-Waterman...and Scooch's songs, on the whole, are superior to Steps. The lyrics are more in the Sinitta/Sonia vein, the melodies are happier! "For Sure" is the best tune of 2000...Friends not familiar to Euro-pop compare it to Gloria Estefan's disco sound. It is a highly listenable, dance-pop masterpiece...BUY IT!"
"THE MUST" for all music enthusiasts!!!!

"Amazing! Amazing! What other words can describe this single? This brilliant, perfectly harmonized group is going to top the pop music world by storm. This single, "For Sure," is Scooch's latest single from their album "Four Sure." --Almost all songs are written by Mike STOCK and Matt AITKEN, the legend producers in the British music industry, who have developed the stars such as Kylie Minogue and Rick Astley! This single is the part2 (CD2) to the title, and contains three remixes and a music video. Two of three remixes are by one of the hottest mixers in the world, "Motiv8". These remixes are FOR SURE to more than satisfy all pop music fans' urge for great music. I know this import single is certainly steeply-priced, but it's worth INVEST money on this wonderful single. I guarantee you'll LOVE it. In addtion, you'll definitely want to buy the album (unfortunately amazon.com currently doesn't carry this item, though...Who knows? By the time you read this review, they might already have had in stock), which is full of incredible, breezy dance tracks! Some of my favorites in the album are three other singles ("When my baby," "More than I needed to know (another incredible single)," "The best is yet to come," AND "Syncopated Rhythm," and "Third time lucky." Anyways, I highly recommend this single. GET THIS!!! BELIEVE ME! You'll NOT regret it. If you want to know more about British pop music or this type(harmonized, happy dance tunes that is...) of music, feel free to email me. I know you don't want to take chance on these expensive import CDs..."
Oh my heart just skips a beat!

"I dont know why the other reviewers seem to confuse Steps with Scooch. They are completely different. One group have talent(Scooch) the other had H(steps). Scooch have since departed from the music industry. David has a successful actor, Natalie is recording her new album with Mike Stock and Matt Aitken and the other two I have no idea. Nevertheless Four Sure is a very large slice of pop cheese that doesnt knock you out with one sniff(like those Steps albums tended to do). Just put this CD and start dancing. My picks?
When My Baby: You'll end up dancing like a cat on catnip but that doesnt matter. Just let the beat take control. The popiest track recorded in the 90s.
The Best Is Yet to Come: Abba eat your heart out
More Than I Needed To Know: Their biggest UK hit and the most dramatic. The melody will slowly penetrate your mind and you'll be singing it on the way to work without knowing it.
Syncopated Rhythm: An attempt to mimic "I will Survive" and it does it quite well. Kylie did the same thing on her Light Years album with So No Goodbye and Cher did it on Believe with Strong Enough. Scooch did it first as this was the first song the group recorded back in 1996.
One Of These Days: GreatBuy it"
