The New Radicals. I had read somewhere that she was in a band, but I couldn't remember. Today I had seen the rerun of this VH1 show because I had missed some of the show from numbers 60 - 50.
Here is some info from the net:
The New Radicals were an American rock band in the late 1990s, centered around front man Gregg Alexander, who wrote and produced all of their songs and was the sole constant member. They released only one album, 1998's Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too, a pop rock album heavily influenced by the funk, rock and soul of the 1970s, containing—amongst radio-friendly modern rock tracks and love songs—strong criticism of Corporate America.
The band is best known for their debut single "You Get What You Give", which became a top 5 hit in the United Kingdom and whose celebrity-dissing lyrics at the end of the song provided a minor media spectacle.
The New Radicals had a "revolving door policy" and no permanent members other than Alexander, who produced, wrote, sung and played various instruments for the band. The only other person considered a relatively constant member was former child actress Danielle Brisebois. She acted as background singer and percussionist on the album, at live shows and in the band's music videos. She also co-wrote their second single "Someday We'll Know", with Alexander and Debra Holland. Brisebois had previously worked with Alexander on his 1992 album Intoxifornication and on her 1994 solo debut Arrive All Over You.
