It\u2019s been almost ten years since S Club 7! How lovely to see you after all this time. Where in the world have you been?<\/strong><br \/>\nI have been in the studio working on new songs with lots of different producers and developing myself as a songwriter because I\u2019ve always been really into song writing from a young age. I absolutely love music; whether it\u2019s the dancing or the singing. It\u2019s always going to be in me so I\u2019m always going to be doing it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the deal with your latest single Fire?<br \/>\n<\/strong>It\u2019s a pop track but has a dance vibe to it and I\u2019m hoping it will make people want to dance to it! I\u2019m not an airy fairy girl and I never sort of have been, I come in and make a big noise. I think Fire is my explosion!<\/p>\n<p><strong>It must have been hard to come back as a solo artist after almost ten years. How do you cope with all those people who are mean about your music?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I\u2019m a feisty girl so I can take it, I\u2019m very thick skinned. As a performer you have to be, you\u2019re on stage all the time and you have to expect people to have opinions, so that doesn\u2019t bother me at all. But of course I want people to like it!<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you get into the music industry?<\/strong><br \/>\nBefore I joined S Club 7 I was a backing dancer and I did loads of music videos for big artists. I auditioned for S Club 7 at Pineapple Studios then got called back and that was it! It was quite an easy audition actually; there were no crazy dance routines or a mammoth song like in some auditions. What always got me through auditions is self-belief, you always have to be confident, you\u2019re always told to not be full of yourself but with entertainment and auditions you have to think the opposite because you only have a small amount of time to impress so you have to go all out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you think you\u2019re more confident now than when you were in S Club 7?<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen you\u2019re a teenager you\u2019re still finding out who you are and doing all that in the public eye was really hard. Luckily, we did have each other for support and we did have the most amazing experience as well. I\u2019m going into the unknown as a solo artist it\u2019s so fulfilling because I\u2019m doing it all myself and you get a lot of satisfaction from that and creativity &#8211; I\u2019m really enjoying it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who are you listening to at the moment?<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019m a real hip hop girl so I listen to a lot of the hip hop artists out there, Rihanna is cool\u2026and obviously Beyonc\u00e9. How can you not love Beyonc\u00e9?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Uh-oh, just 21 seconds to go! Quick, Tina, choose between\u2026<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nPie or Pasty?<br \/>\nPie.<\/p>\n<p>Slugs or Snails?<br \/>\nSnails.<\/p>\n<p>Morning or Evening?<br \/>\nEvening.<\/p>\n<p>Sun or Snow?<br \/>\nSun.<\/p>\n<p>Books or Magazines?<br \/>\nMagazines.<\/p>\n<p>City or Country?<br \/>\nCity.<\/p>\n<p>Eat or Sleep?<br \/>\nEat; you can sleep when you\u2019re dead!<br \/>\n-CBBC Newsround\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After five years in S Club 7 (and a starring role in CBBC\u2019s Viva S Club), Tina Barrett is returning to pop in a blaze of fire&#8230; Tina!
