Curiously this didn't do very well in either 1.0 or 2.0, so not sure about giving it a third outing in the final argh!

First Half: 24 Artist Forums
Round 1: 14th (tied) [25/60] What Took You So Long? [Emma Bunton] (Free choice)
Round 2: 5th (tied) [34/53] Never Give Up on the Good Times (Album track)
Round 3: 4th (tied) [34/53] When You're Gone [Melanie C] (Free choice - previously unsent songs)
Round 4: 4th (tied) [42/56] Viva Forever (Ballads & midtempos)
Round 5: 5th [39/60] Spice Up Your Life (Free choice)

Second Half: 12 Artist Forums
Round 6: 5th [31/57] Maybe [Emma Bunton] (Free choice - previously unsent songs)
Round 7: 9th [20/46] Touch Me [Melanie C] (Album track - previously unsent songs)
Round 8: 6th [25/48] Say You'll Be There (Free choice)
Round 9: 8th [20/44] Saturday Night Divas (Album track)

I can't really grumble about this. I thought it was set to do worse than 8th tbh! It wasn't hugely appreciated by any means, but it was "only" 6 voters behind 2nd.

Round 10 is the Final and we can send anything we want, apart from the songs we've already sent in Round 1 through to 9, of course.

I would say it's time for Wannabe to do its thing...!

It would get 100% voted for and be declared as being the best performing song in the contest's entire history yahoo.gif dance.gif cheer.gif

Wannabe, Woman or Hollier, although maybe we haven't given Headlines or LLLTW a fair shake...

We've reached the end of the competition! Thanks to everybody who voted. wub.gif We'll find out very soon where Spice Girls placed overall in AF Idol 3.0.


For now, let's look at the above songs in order of % of votes received in each round:

0.750 Viva Forever
0.650 Spice Up Your Life
0.642 Never Give Up on the Good Times
0.642 When You're Gone
0.544 Maybe
0.529 Wannabe
0.521 Say You'll Be There
0.455 Saturday Night Divas
0.435 Touch Me
0.417 What Took You So Long?

Interesting that unlike 1.0 and 2.0, Wannabe wasn't our most successful song in 3.0. Though on this occasion it faced some seriously big songs, so I think it still did pretty well to get a little over half of the voters giving it a vote.

Overall we were reasonably consistent! Touch Me coming 9th out of 12 songs was technically our worst performance. I think to never be one of the bottom 3 songs is pretty good going!

Forgot to post about this... Spice Girls came 6th in BuzzJack's AF Idol game!

QUOTE(-Jay- @ Sep 26 2021, 08:04 PM) *


Spice Girls

6th - 0.558311834

First 5 Rounds: 7th - 0.619937107

Spiceboy and I initially planned to only send solo songs... but that plan quickly went out the window! laugh.gif

This year is the first time we've sent some Emma songs. Her #1 hit What Took You So Long? started things off, ending up a few points adrift of the top half of the scoreboard. However, the fan favourite single Maybe was well received, and really outperformed my expectations by placing 5th! That's the result I was most happy with. We also turned to Melanie C, using her very first song When You're Gone and her most recent release Touch Me! As for the group songs - Viva Forever performed the best overall, finishing 4th and attracting 75% of voters. Their other singles all finished in the top half. A consistent performance overall, so I'm delighted with this 6th place finish! wub.gif

A shame we didn't make top 5 and would have been good to be the top girlband but then I thought Sugababes and Girls Aloud chose some excellent choices so I'm not too bitter!
