I Turn To You
Never Be The Same Again When You’re Gone A pretty iconic trio of hits for Melanie and I would say still remembered by the public. I’ve heard NBTSA on radio a few times recently which is nice |

We never give the album version of I Turn To You any credit. Now THAT is a an amazing song, forgotten by the trash that is the single release

Geri’s It’s raining men is probably the only other song that could compete. |

I only listen to the album version these days (well, since it was released tbh I was never a fan of the HH remix). |

It is the only version worth listening to  Like, I get it, it was fun back in 2000 but it was so 'of its moment' that it just sounds cringe nowadays ah

It's fair enough if you don't like these songs however the fact all three are in the top 5 most streamed and downloaded songs in the solo spice discography say's a lot about the quality of the songs. Fair enough if it's a one off novelty song like Mr Blobby or Teletubbies yeah they are crap and of their moment but to have three says a lot about the quality of the songs... The entire of the Northern Star era was very high quality. |

Northern Star was a great album indeed, but to me NBTSA and IITY (HH mix) where not it, specially ITTY...
ITTY specially feels stuck in time and it is not a mix that works well outside its very specific year 2000, same with Out of Your Mind. Like, it's fine if you like that type of pop/dance music but I always found it quite crap and in the case of ITTY, a cheap take on a great song. |
