Wannabe (film)
Wannabe is a 2005 comedy film starring Craig Robert Young, Adam Huss, Anna Becker and Elizabeth Warner. It was written and produced by Young and Richard Keith and directed by Keith.
Plot
Steve Williams (Craig Robert Young) was once part of boy band "Busboyz", but after surviving a horrific accident which killed the other members of the band, he now finds himself struggling for work, seeking credibility as an actor and the focus of a documentary. After being dropped by his manager for Paul—who was in a boy band rivalling "Busboyz"—Steve tries to make his own way through ever more demeaning auditions until he hears of a casting call for a "Monkees"-like TV show where he could showcase his acting, dancing and singing talents.
However, Steve then learns that Paul has been passing off as his own a dance contest victory which Paul won, and his nemesis is also trying out for the show. With a dance face-off between them on the cards, who will win out?
The film is directed by Richard Keith and was co-written by Keith and Young. It is based loosely on Young's own experiences as an actor in L.A. and former Pop band member in UK Brit pop band, Deuce.
Wannabe (song)
"Wannabe" is the debut single by the British girl group the Spice Girls. Written by the group members with Matt Rowe and Richard Stannard during the group's first professional songwriting session, it was produced by Rowe and Stannard for the group's debut album Spice, released in November 1996. The song was written and recorded very quickly; the result was considered lacklustre by their label, and was sent to be mixed by Dave Way. The group was not pleased with the result, and the recording was mixed again, this time by Mark "Spike" Stent.
"Wannabe" is an uptempo dance-pop and pop-rap song that incorporates a mix of hip hop and rap. The lyrics, which address the value of female friendship over the heterosexual bond, became an iconic symbol of female empowerment and the most emblematic song of the group's Girl Power philosophy. Despite receiving mixed reviews from music critics, the song won for Best British-Written Single at the 1997 Ivor Novello Awards and for Best Single at the 1997 BRIT Awards.

It's All In Our Head
by: IneptIf what you want is out of sight, and all thats there is black and white,
Its easier to choose the wrong path.
But if you choose to believe, a painting your life can be,
With a light on youll see, color right on.
And with it, will be the life that we want,
Without it, we will throw away what we got,
So we will, so we will, not give in.
CHORUS
When we fall from our dreams its hard to pick ourselves up,
But its all in our heads; its all in our heads!
When we think theres nothing left, its hard to convince ourselves,
That its all in our heads, its all in our heads!
No when you fall in to this hell, theres others here, you just cant tell.
And like you, theyre all needing help.
But if theres still room to breath, then hope will show you the way,
To a new world where light, will surround you.
And with it, will be the life that we want,
Without it, we will throw away what we got,
So we will, so we will, not give in.
CHORUS
So, just believe, and we will feel, so alive,
And we will find the perfect way to survive.
Then we will be, so in love,
With the lives, that once has us, in denial.
CHORUS
If what you want is out of sight, and all thats there is black and white,
Its easier to choose the wrong path.
But if you choose to believe, a painting your life will be,
