Goodbye is gorgeous. Emma leads on it perfectly and Victoria's verse is a stand out moment.
Whilst it was made to be about Geri, I feel the sentiment can be applied to many other personal things, so it is a versatile song! Love it. |

I adore Goodbye!
So beautiful and sentimental. The tour performances this year  Personally I would have liked to see this a bit higher up than 9th, but I can't really complain about a top 10 finish. This actually won the DenDen Spice Rate in 2012!

Goodbye should be higher.
So many memories with this song. I first eard when i was on my first school international trip to London. I remember there was Posters of the single release everywhere. With the School we went to Hamleys on Regent Street and there was a full place with only Spice Girls merchandises. (i remember also i discover Big Big World from Emilia) When i came back to France, i bought the single with my mum on Christmas time. I remember i played the single for the first time on my grand-ma house. Now it's my Mum favorite Spice Girls song because she remind her Christmas. The performance at the Brit was amazing. This song was so emotional durint TROTSG Tour, it make me cried so much during the show. (funny my mum came with me to London on that trip). When my cousin committed suicide by throwing herself under a train, i played that song over & over for liberate my feelings. This song is my #1 This post has been edited by isanka: Oct 31 2019, 09:17 AM |

 8.808 - 08. Maybe EMMA BUNTON Oops, sorry Mr.X!  Emma's highest placed solo single is her 2003 release Maybe! Emma described this song as having a "real retro feel to it", which is certainly accurate - it's a throwback to the 60s with its bossa nova/lounge/pop sounds. Its incredibly stylish music video was also a step back in time, with its style & dance heavily inspired by the The Rich Man's Frug dance in the 60s movie Sweet Charity. Maybe came close to the top 5 in the UK, starting at #4 in the midweeks, but frustratingly it ended up placing at #6. I'll never get over it!! As of 2009 it had sold 77,000 copies in the UK, making it the best selling single taken from Emma's second studio album Free Me. Elsewhere it performed modestly, including #17 in Ireland and #20 in Italy. Emma & the Universal label clearly had faith in Maybe, given that they released it in the US in 2005... but it only managed a peak of #6 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. This is my personal favourite solo single - incredible song, video and performances! It's such a gem! I'll always feel that this single deserved far more commercial success than it attained. Thankfully BuzzJack clearly recognises how great this song is, considering its impressive performance in this rate.

'Maybe' is so much fun! It'll take a lot to topple 'What Took You So Long?' as my Emma favourite but it's definitely up there. I hope 'Never Be The Same Again' is the highest solo Spice song, as much as I enjoy 'I Turn To You' as well.

It is still #1 in my heart
Honestly, I cant get over the fact that I Turn To You and Never Be The Same again are so high. Most overrated tracks ever.... |

 8.870 - 07. I Turn to You MELANIE C At #7 we have Melanie C's biggest single I Turn To You. It was released on the 7th of August 2000 as the 4th single of the Northern Star album and became Melanie's second #1 single. It sold 120,000 copies in its first week, going on to sell over 400,000 copies in total. It was the 27th best-seller of 2000 in the UK. I Turn to You also topped the Austrian Singles Chart, the Danish Singles Chart, the Dutch Top 40, the Swedish Singles Chart and the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. The main single was released as the "Hex Hector Radio Mix", for which Hex Hector won the 2001 Grammy as Remixer of the Year. I Turn to You has sold over two million copies worldwide. Another version that was released for radio was the StoneBridge R&B Radio Mix, which I absolutely love. |

A great song indeed, but unfortunately, in my opinion, completly overrated. It's sound was a surprise at the time, proving a great Ibiza-style remix and video, which was incredibly popular in the early 2000s. Good for her, it was a great move to remix the song in this way with such a colourful video. It also came after a run of very different sounding singles, which was also a great way of showcasing her versatility as an artist.
But it sounds exactly like the 2000s, and a bit out-dated in my opinion and overrated by the fandom as it was Mel C's biggest hit single and her first fully solo number 1, cementing her as a household name. There's a lot of emotional baggage attached to it. Personally, I am over it and don't really listen to it anymore, and even at the time I found it a bit 'there', like Melanie was trying a bit too hard with it, like with Goin' Down. She seemed more at ease and in her element with Northern Star or Never Be The Same Again. That's just my opinion. Again, it is a great single, it just never did much to me lol |

Maybe is a brilliant slice of 60s pop, with a perfect video to match that. It is as fresh now as it was in the mid 2000s ITTY is a decent Ibiza dance song but we have a lot of those and it sounds exactly like a dated 2000 dance song now. As always it is given more credit because it was released by 'proper artist melanie c'. |

Or maaaybeeeee (no pun intended) I turn to you is actually also a brilliant slice of 2000's pop with a great video of it's own, which appeals to just as many people if not more than Maybe? I prefer ITTY over Maybe and that's got nothing to do with Melanie C being a "proper artist" I just think it's alot catchier, Mel's voice sounds fantastic on it, and it makes me want to get up and dance and sing along at the top of my voice everytime I hear it... It's easily in my top 5 solo releases (alongside WTYSL, Mi Chico Latino, NBTSA and WYG). I also love how something can sounds 60's and be brilliant for it, yet something sounds 2000's and it's decent but dated...
