The Unstoppable B*Witched: 25 Years After “C’est La Vie

As a seasoned journalist, I’m thrilled to catch up with the Irish girl group B*Witched, more than 25 years after their chart-topping hit “C’est La Vie” took the music world by storm. I’m Zoe Bennett, and I’ll be guiding you through this exclusive interview with Keavy Lynch, Edele Lynch, Sinéad O’Carroll, and Lindsay Armaou.

In the late 1990s, B*Witched’s music was ubiquitous, dominating the airwaves and television screens everywhere from Smart House to Dawson’s Creek. The group’s rapid rise to fame was nothing short of phenomenal, with their debut song “C’est La Vie” catapulting them to the top of the music charts in 1998. Keavy Lynch, one half of the twin sister duo, reminisced about the surreal experience, recalling how they were in Italy, hoping for a top 20 spot, only to be told they had reached number one. “We were like, ‘Ha, that’s hilarious. Where are we really?’ He was like, ‘No, you’re number one,'” she laughed.

The group’s whirlwind tour with *NSYNC, then a relatively new American boy band, was a highlight of their early career. Edele Lynch, Keavy’s twin sister, shared their initial reaction to learning they would be supporting *NSYNC, saying, “We had to look them up, which is kind of ridiculous, because they were insanely huge in the U.S.A.—and they’re amazing.” The group enjoyed some memorable moments with *NSYNC, including celebrating their single “Blame it on the Weatherman” topping the U.K. charts in 1999.

B*Witched’s music permeated popular culture, appearing in various films and television shows, including What Women Want, Dawson’s Creek, and The Princess Diaries. However, by 2002, the group decided to take a break from the music industry and part ways. Edele explained that the hiatus was a necessary step, allowing them to navigate the mundanity of everyday life and make their own choices. “At first, it was crazy, because there were so many years our schedule was laid out for us,” she said. “We knew what time we were getting up, we knew what time we needed to eat, we knew what time we had to go to bed to get up early the next day.”

During their break, the band members pursued their individual interests, with Edele going back to college, studying fitness, getting married, and having three children. Sinéad O’Carroll, now 52, also took time to focus on her personal life, while Lindsay Armaou, 46, and Keavy Lynch, 45, explored their own paths. The hiatus ultimately gave them the space they needed to reunite a decade later.

In 2013, B*Witched was approached to appear on the ITV docuseries The Big Reunion, alongside fellow late ’90s boy bands and girl groups like Atomic Kitten, Blue, and Five. Although Keavy initially hesitated, saying “I think for eight months, I was like, ‘Nope!'”, the group eventually decided to reunite and take advantage of the opportunity.

Today, B*Witched is back with new music, and their legacy continues to inspire a new generation of fans. As they look back on their journey, the group is grateful for the experiences they’ve had and the bond they share. “We’re still here!” Lindsay exclaimed, summing up their remarkable story.

In conclusion, B*Witched’s enduring success is a testament to their talent, dedication, and perseverance. As they continue to create new music and perform, fans can expect more exciting developments from this beloved Irish girl group.

That wraps up today’s analysis of B*Witched’s remarkable journey. Stay informed, stay critical, and follow the facts.
