The original trio comprised of American Andrew Thomas, British John McInerney, and Jamaican Trevor Taylor - the original lead vocalist. The debut single L.O.V.E In My Car failed to make an impression in the pop charts but the follow-up You're A Woman was a massive success, reaching the top 10 in many European countries.
Trevor Taylor provided the lead vocal for the group's early hit singles including You're A Woman and Pretty Young Girl. The 1987 single Come Back And Stay was the first to feature John McInerney on lead vocal. Although the track was originally recorded as demo with Trevor Taylor's voice, the producers subjectively chose John McInerney's version. This created tension within the group which ultimately lead to Trevor Taylor's departure. John McInerney went on to perform lead vocal on the vast majority of Bad Boys Blue's output.
The group became massively popular in Eastern Europe, with the band performing to sell-out crowds in Russia and the Ukraine. In contrast the group never charted in the UK and their only charting USA single was Save Your Love.
The group has experienced numerous line up changes. In 1988 Trevor Taylor left the group - a year after being practically demoted to backup singer - but was asked to rejoin the group the following year just for recording sessions of Hungry for Love single that was to be featured on the group's first compilation album Bad Boys Best. Trevor Taylor's departure permanently secured John McInerney's position as the band's new lead vocalist. Trevor Taylor was replaced by Trevor Bannister. Trevor Bannister left in 1993 and the remaining two members performed as a duo. Mo Russel joined the group in 1995. In 1999 Kevin McCoy (stage name JoJo Max) replaced Mo Russel by joining Bad Boys Blue fulltime after being the group's rapper since 1998, but left in early 2003 leaving Bad Boys Blue as a duo again. However, in 2006, Kevin McCoy rejoined Andrew Thomas' Bad Boys Blue line-up (see below).
In 2005 Thomas and McInerney split under less than amicable circumstances. Carlos Ferreira joined John McInerney in 2006 and new material is said to be forthcoming from this, presently Poland-based, duo. Andrew Thomas also formed a version of Bad Boys Blue with former member Kevin McCoy and singer Herb McCoy but they are not signed to any record label. The question of who gets to officially use the Bad Boys Blue brand name has not yet been resolved.
What A Feeling
Bad Boys Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's rolling over me now, from my head to my toes
The temptation I fight is taking over my mind
I've never been so impressed and never obsessed
When you're holding me tight, I am shaking inside
I can't resist the power of your lips
What a feeling, oh what a feeling
What a feeling when we love
I will never get enough
Everything that you do, it convinces me more
You're such a magical thing, you opened up heaven's door
I know we'll get the things right for this will be our night
A night so sweet and divine, we all want you or mine
When you're holding me tight, I am shaking inside
I can't resist the power of your lips
What a feeling, oh what a feeling
What a feeling when we love
What a feeling, oh what a feeling
I will never get enough
What a feeling, oh what a feeling
What a feeling, oh what a feeling
What a feeling, oh what a feeling
What a feeling when we love
What a feeling, oh what a feeling
I will never get enough
What a feeling, oh what a feeling
What a feeling, oh what a feeling
What a feeling, oh what a feeling...
The lyrics to Bad Boys Blue's song "What A Feeling" speak to the overwhelming power of love and attraction.

They are shaking inside when they are held tight, and cannot resist the power of the other person's lips. The lyrics express the intense physical and emotional sensations of being in love, as well as the feeling of being overwhelmed by desire and passion.
Despite this sense of being out of control, the lyrics also express a sense of hope and possibility. The singer believes that they will "get things right" and that the night will be "so sweet and divine." This suggests that, even though they are currently consumed by their passion, they have confidence that their relationship will develop into something positive and fulfilling. Overall, these lyrics capture the complex mix of excitement, uncertainty, and yearning that often accompanies falling in love.

I knew this song from my childhood and I didn't know English so no idea
what they say. In the last 10 years every now and then I've been looking
for this song, humming it to Shazam, searching through all the songs of
BBB but no luck. Today, in the toilet :), I tried to relate some of
those humming and alien words to the English words (now I'm living in
English speaking country) and then I thought, ok it may be saying 'oh
what a feeling' and then I thought... if that's the case then the next
part must be 'we love' and bingo!! That was it. I found the song :)
