So is it not worth me popping down to HMV later then?

 

I know that on the HMV website it says it's not available until the 12th...

nope it wasn't in Sainsburys either

Wasn't in the HMV I went in today :lol: :(

 

I'll be buying tomorrow. ^_^

POOP. I was looking forward to that :(

I walked all the way to town like 20 mins walk to get the CD and all! Sucks that they weren't selling today, but I'll have an excuse to go to town tomorrow on my way home! Planning to pick up Leona's and Celine Dion's new albums at the same time :D!

has HMV.com run out of stock on the standard CD and boxset or have they cost the Spice Girls any chance :lol: They are dispatching within 4 days rather than saying In Stock, like they are for the CD/DVD and Leona

I've just bought it on plain old CD.

 

Can I say how could they possibly have thought it was a good idea of releasing Headlines as a single when the uptempo Voodoo is miles better.

I think Voodoo is way too repetetive. :lol: I much prefer Headlines.

Voodoo might get released at the back end of the tour with the tour highlights making up the video

:cheer: love it!!!!!

i got my copy earlier

I have it :w00t: I got the CD & DVD and I'm watching the DVD now! As c**p as it is I sort of wanted the 'Headlines' vid, but oh well :lol:

 

The vids look really good as for some reason, have they been enhanced in some way? Thing is, whatever they've done backfires for the '2 Become 1' vid because you can see how cheap it is now :lol:

 

I'm enjoying watching this, I haven't seen some of these vids in years :wub:

I got the CD today!! I don't even think I saw the CD/DVD version in store. Actually forgot to look, but don't remember seeing it! I saw the gift set though, but didn't look too much cuz I want a suprise for when mine arrives :)!

Spice Girls: 'Greatest Hits'

Released on Monday, November 12 2007

"Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz: this is for you," Victoria Beckham scribbles in the sleeve notes for the Spice Girls' Greatest Hits album. "Mummy was a popstar!!!" Whether you believe the official line - that the iconic girl group's second coming sprung from a desire to show the Spice sprogs how mummy paid for their Baby Gap clobber - is almost irrelevant. The reunion tour (and single, and album, and Tesco ad campaign…) might be motivated by financial necessity, a lust for attention or just plain boredom, but it was always going to happen.

 

None of the group's three albums was devoid of filler, and their singles tended to be their very best songs, so Greatest Hits is a very welcome addition to the band's canon. It tells the Spice story almost chronologically – 1999's 'Goodbye' brings up the rear of the collection for fairly obvious reasons – and without omission. Every single from 'Wannabe' to new tune 'Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)' is included, alongside 'Voodoo', a second new recording, and 'Move Over', a "single" that fans purchased by glugging Pepsi in a way that compelled dentists across the country to finally treat themselves to that fortnight in Bali. They'd earned it, you know.

 

What's striking about Greatest Hits is how familiar it all is. At least ten of these 15 songs are burned on the collective psyche like Titanic, Blur v. Oasis and Jackie Stallone's entry to the Big Brother house. Fortunately, the Spice's floor-fillers have held up better than Ma Stallone's face, with 'Wannabe' remaining an exuberant calling card and 'Stop' still sounding like the best song that Motown never produced. New tune 'Voodoo' is the weakest here, coming on like the demonic lovechild of 'Who Do You Think You Are' and 'Spice Up Your Life'. It pinches the former's hen night disco and the latter's global rallying cries, but falls flat on its arse thanks to some truly ridiculous lyrics. Well, nobody wants to hear a thirtysomething multi-millionairess holler "Get up and use your voodoo, get your body to the floor", do they?

 

Rarely for a girl-group, the Spice Girls' slow 'n' slushies are probably their strongest suit. '2 Become 1' manages to combine every element of the perfect Christmas ballad – a touch of elegance, a hint of romance, a soupcon of sexiness and a generous sprinkling of sparkle – and still finds time for a coy safe sex message ("Be a little bit wiser baby – put it on, put it on"), while the wistful 'Viva Forever' makes a fitting swansong for Ginger, the Spice who jumped ship shortly before its release. Best of all is 'Goodbye', the supremely elegant ballad that became a post-Halliwell Christmas number one. Like all of these songs, it's so sturdily-constructed that you don't notice the vocal shortcomings of - cough cough - certain members. Thank heavens the girls' producers had the sense to place Mel C's Scouse caterwaul front and centre at all times!

 

Greatest Hits does flag a tad towards the finish, primarily because Rodney Jerkins' slick, stuttering R&B numbers from the Forever album ('Holler', 'Let Love Lead The Way') fail to capitalise on the girls' very British sense of mischief, but it functions brilliantly on two levels. As a document of late-nineties pop music, it's unbeatable, and as a collection of stonking great tunes, it comes pretty close. In fact, like all the great pop compilations - Abba Gold, The Immaculate Collection, The Sound of Girls Aloud - if you can't find something to like here, it's fair to say that you don't really like pop music.

 

 

4/5

4 out of 5 stars - I would give it 5 out of 5 lol

Easily 5 :angry:

And i believe its booty to the floor lol :D...please say im not wrong there :blink:

for any pop music fan its an esential album to have

That's brilliant :D Nice to see Girls Aloud get a mention too!

 

I love this line:

if you can't find something to like here, it's fair to say that you don't really like pop music.

Its a confirmed track, and here are the lyrics;

 

Memories

Written By: The Spice Girls, Oliver Christiansen

 

Lets rememeber the times

Lets rememeber the rhymes

Lets rememeber the phases

Lets rememeber the crazes

 

go back to the years

listen from your ears

to the music's beat

that nothing could deafeat

 

lets remember the memories

go back to the melodys

lets remember the love (i cant forget)

go back far enough (i cant regret)

 

 

lets remember us together

together forever

you'll never need to know

why we love you so

 

go back to the years

through the tears

to the music's drum

it has just begun

 

lets remember the memories

go back to the melodys

lets remember the love (i cant forget)

go back far enough (i cant regret)

 

memories are done but still its just begun

remember, remember go back to the year

forever together come back over hear

 

lets remember the memories

go back to the melodys

lets remember the love (i cant forget)

go back far enough (i cant regret)

 

lets remember the memories

go back to the melodys

lets remember the love (i cant forget)

go back far enough (i cant regret)

 

Lets rememeber the times

Lets rememeber the rhymes

Lets rememeber the phases

Lets rememeber the crazes

 

 

I reckon its gonna be released in the summer as a download only track/1 week only... with a montage video to promote it, maybe it will be a double-download with "Woman" - it reminds me of Headlines!
