Opinions on B*Witched People Weekly- March 29, 1999 Here's a button-cute quartet of teen singers from across the North Atlantic whose debut album will never be judged on its own merits. Of course, these four have only themselves to blame for being typed as Spice Girl clones. It's hard to listen to the peppy, dance-indulcing arrangements and party-girl harmonies on this very compact (39-minute) disc without thinking that these tunes, expecially the group's U.S. debut single, "C'est La Vie," and its forthcoming follow-up, "Rollercoaster," rolled right off the Spice rack. Even so, with three No. 1 hits in England already, the B*Witched crew just might succeed in establishing their own identity. Instead of meeting at Spice-like auditions, the founders of this Dublin group joined forces before birth--Edele and Keavy Lynch are 19-year-old twins. They and their nonsibling partners--Sinead O'Carrol, 20, and Lindsay Armaou, 18--not only have stronger voices than famous doppelgirls, they actually play their own instruments. Bottom line: Giddy confection for the preteen at heart.
