I'm more upset by the exclusion of I Was Made that Way
One of Geris absolute peak moments for sure.

QUOTE(Nina West @ Apr 19 2023, 03:36 PM) I do find it strange that 'Feels Like Sex' was considered strong enough to be the lead single before 'It's Raining Men' came along & then scrapped entirely. I'm not saying it's a lost gem or anything, but its surprising that it wasn't considered as a potential 2nda single, doubt it would have done any better than the title track if it was released. This is my perception too...but it is an interesting thought. How would Feels Like Sex have fared as a lead single? My general thought is the Spice Girls had a basic level of edginess that was expected/accepted by their fanbase. It was a level that included the outfits of the Say You'll Be There video, the safe sex lyrics of 2 Become 1, Geri's parade of pink underwear men at the Brits, etc. The very few times they went edgier than that...I don't think it really paid off for them. I'm specifically referring to Mel C's Goin Down and Mel B's original Word Up video and Hot album. Granted, I say that while knowing the Hot album's biggest problem was releasing so close to Forever. But I also don't believe the parental advisory sticker exactly helped sell copies. Some of the girls were pulling from Madonna's playbook, but my guess is the fanbases were a bit different...and controversy didn't equal sales for the girls with quite the same effectiveness it often did for Madonna. It's not that I think Feels Like Sex is really all that edgy. But a song with that title was going to draw a lot of attention. Tabloids would have been clutching their pearls. Would it have translated to sales? We'll never really know, but I *think* it would have made the lower end of the top 10 like Scream and Calling did. Another question. What would a video for this song look like...? |
