  Betty Boo   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Self-styled U.K. pop-rap diva Betty Boo (born Alison Clarkson) began her music career as a teenager, singing in the rap trio the She-Rockers, the duo Hit 'N' Run, and studying sound engineering at school.
Originally dubbed Betty Boop because of her resemblance to the classic cartoon character, the half-Malaysian, half-Scottish singer became Betty Boo when lawyers representing Betty Boop objected to her use of the name.
A few years later, Boo found her niche in contemporary pop as a songwriter, penning the hit single "Pure and Simple" for the British teen pop sensation Hear'Say and collaborating with Bob and Chris Herbert, the impresarios behind the Spice Girls and 5ive.

 BBC Online - A Question of Pop - Interviews
Betty Boo was a pop phenomenon in the late 1980s and early 90s.
Betty was very much a one-woman band, writing and producing much of her material herself.
Betty's later releases were less successful - but there were still two more Top 40 hits and a hit album to come before she turned to writing for other people.

British rapper Betty Boo doesn't have much on her mind other than man troubles, which she describes in adequate rhymes over John Coxon's standard-issue hip-hop dance tracks, borrowing (with credit given) from The Beatles and the Four Tops, but mostly from superior American rap predecessors.
Boo raps through the verses and sings the choruses (with extensive backup vocals and echo, suggesting she's not much of a singer) in an engaging enough manner, but she never threatens to be more than a carto… Read More »

 Betty Boo   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
I'll say for her that she doesn't pretend to be fl, filling her rhymes with white UK dialect, and she has a real good ear for melodic and rhythmic hooks.
Betty Boo hasn't done much in the States, but she was huge in the UK, and there are several pages dedicated to her.
Most songs here follow Boo's girl-group-meets-hip-hop formula, including the hit "Hey DJ/I Can't Dance," and it works: she piles up hook on top of hook, guitar licks, piano riffs, bass lines, backing vocals, until the cauldron threatens to boil over.

Betty Boo formed her first band The She Rockers aged 16 whilst still at school, and the success of their album took her to New York to work with the legendary Public Enemy.
She went on to write and produce her debut album 'Boomania' in her bedroom which spawned two huge worldwide hits 'Doin' The Do' and 'Where Are You Baby' and was voted the Best New Artist at the Brit Awards in 1990.
Her sassy, powerful music and image launched a thousand wannabe's and it's no great shock that when the creators of the Spice Girls were placing the initial adverts they were looking for '5 Betty Boo's'.

Boomania is one of the classic nineties pop albums - certainly as good as Kylie’s Enjoy Yourself - and belongs in any self-respecting popette’s record collection.
And finally: if you hear something you like, support the artist by buying their music, going to their shows or offering to do the groceries for their mothers.
