Up next is round 7.

Leaving us this time though, is the other A-side to 'Mama' and the one which became the main A-Side! 'Who Do You Think You Are?' is a fun, uptempo, funky, disco track. So much flavour to this song and it was used as the official Comic Relief single in 1997. The vocals are shared out amongst all 5 girls with the usual Melanie C ad-libs. As great as this song is (and it's pretty stellar), I think it's the one that has aged the worst out of all their singles, personally. It's still such a classic and nostalgic throwback though.



Eliminated:
08th: 'Who Do You Think You Are?' [15 Votes | 26.32%]
09th: 'Too Much' [25 Votes | 39.06%]
10th: 'Mama' [26 Votes | 41.94%]
11th: 'Holler' [31 Votes | 46.97%]
12th: 'Let Love Lead the Way' [30 Votes | 45.45%]
13th: 'Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)' [36 Votes | 51.43%]

If we could stop targetting the beautiful ballads for a while, that'd be grand! (This comment still stands as 'Goodbye' and 'Viva Forever' have an unusally high amount of votes! )

'Wannabe' for me this time!

This is ridiculous.

Who Do You Think You Are (note: no question mark in the title! #anal #getitrightjonjojeez #downwiththequestionmark) being that low is crazy.

I've voted for Wannabe. It's sooo damn good, and I did vote for Stop in the last round, but I'm loving Stop a bit more than Wannabe at this particular moment in time. (I change my order quite regularly, ha).

Goodbye, as it's the one I hardly ever revisit.

Posted by: Jaÿ Dec 3 2015, 03:53 AM

Omg I just noticed how close it was in the last round.

Posted by: PAJ88 Dec 3 2015, 07:35 AM

Wannabe, still think it's not that great.

Posted by: Xmas Tree Boy Dec 3 2015, 07:47 AM

Wannabe has never been their best song.

Posted by: UltraChristmas Dec 3 2015, 07:54 AM

Viva Forever

Posted by: Joe ho ho! Dec 3 2015, 10:44 AM

Goooooooodbye Goodbye.

Posted by: Maurince Pie Dec 3 2015, 11:14 AM

As much as I love Goodbye it's indeed time to go now for that song.

Posted by: Liаm Dec 3 2015, 11:29 AM

Queen.

Wannabe will forever be iconic, but it's never been my favourite, so I think it is time for it to go.

Posted by: JosephCarey Dec 3 2015, 01:09 PM

You're all wrong, Say You'll Be There needs to go now

stop stop

Viva Forever, so hard now everything here is flawless, such a shame they didn't release more singles, especially from their 3rd album "Forever", I know it pretty much tanked sales wise, but they could have at least released 1 or 2 more singles, as there were some decent tracks on there such as "If U Wanna Have Some Fun" (which was planned as a single) and "Oxygen" which is definitely the best ballad on the album.

Also "Viva Forever" was planned as a double a-side with "Never Give On The Good Times", which was a definite standout on Spiceworld, but was cancelled because Geri left, I know they didn't need it as "VF" smashed on it's own, but it would have been nice to see a video for the latter track at least.

Can't believe 'Who Do You Think You Are' has gone, it's easily in my top 3 Spice singles

Voted for 'Say You'll Be There' again.

Posted by: Jaÿ Dec 3 2015, 04:48 PM

I like Oxygen, but it's a great shame that there's an irritating water drop effect running through it. Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip... ughhh! Personally I prefer Let Love Lead The Way, Time Goes By and of course Goodbye.

Considering they only released one single from Forever to promote it (Holler/Let Love Lead The Way), and that they stopped all promotion for the album after Week 1 of release, I think 266,000 copies sold isn't tooooo bad. Quite obviously it's a huge comedown from the 2.9m and 1.5m that their previous albums sold, but those were 4-single eras with a huge amount of promotion & airplay for both. Who knows how much 'Forever' would have sold if they'd released 2, 3 or 4 singles from it, and gone on tour. 500k? It wasn't to be~. As for worldwide, I think their promotion was very limited in general. Only Emma & Victoria went over to promote in the US, appearing on some chat shows.

If Wannabe goes already, I'll be so disappointed in you all It's their signature track FOR A REASON.

Posted by: JosephCarey Dec 3 2015, 06:21 PM

I love Goodbye but I would happily sacrifice it to save the amazing Wannabe. Y'all are mad.

Posted by: pippa Dec 3 2015, 06:25 PM

Say You'll Be There

Posted by: Jaÿ Dec 3 2015, 06:55 PM

It may be their signature track, but it's far from being my personal favourite!

Wannabe

Posted by: UltraChristmas Dec 3 2015, 11:26 PM

HOW IS WANNABE ANYWHERE NEAR CLOSE TO GOING????

It's by far my favourite Spice Girls song

Posted by: Davidson Dec 3 2015, 11:33 PM

I legit went with Goodbye earlier because I thought Wannabe had 0 chance of going.

If I'd just went with my gut Wannabe would be leading

Posted by: Jonjowman ⛄ Dec 4 2015, 12:16 AM

DAVIDSON!

I would change the vote for you, but it's too close to call so I don't really want to in fears of everyone thinking I'm doing it just coz I want 'Wannabe' out. But at you!

Posted by: Jonjowman ⛄ Dec 4 2015, 03:19 PM

One more bumpety bump bump.

Gonna close this tomight at like 2am or something/high chance of being drunk!

Posted by: Xmas Tree Boy Dec 4 2015, 05:21 PM

Goodbye is beautiful. Wannabe went from fun to meh once everyone started secondary school in 2000.

Posted by: 152chris Dec 4 2015, 09:10 PM

Posted by: Doboggan Dec 5 2015, 09:21 AM
