May 13, 20187 yr You can believe an unofficial book Why are you being so contrary? What does it matter if it’s an unofficial book - it stems from an interview with their actual A&R man?? If you’re so keen to enforce that it was JUST Love Thing that was the ONLY other option considered beyond Wannabe, how about fetching the quotes that specifically state this? :)
May 13, 20187 yr AMAZING winner YES. Even with those trolling -1s :heart: One of the best of all time, let alone from a girl group <3
May 13, 20187 yr Let it go , your not the Spice encyclopaedia. The girls have always commented that the record company wanted love thing. As far as I know none of them have ever mentioned SYBT when discussing the lead single. We can disagree. Part of being on a forum :)
May 13, 20187 yr You let it go Vibe their A&R man has said it,also Geri herself said in her official biography that there were “lots of opinions over the first single” which says it was more than just love thing. From an official book.
May 13, 20187 yr Yes Geri spoke about Love Thing . Why is this turning into a drama ? Pathetic Edited May 13, 20187 yr by vibe
May 13, 20187 yr Joseph!!!!!!!!!!! :rofl: I can't :'))) vibe can decide to disregard sourced information if he wants to, whatever, that's his closed minded choice to make. ;o I'll have my final say with a general comment not specifically aimed at him. I never claimed to be a "Spice encyclopaedia", but evidently vibe is very keen to assert that he's 100% correct with his own Spice Girls knowledge and that Jack's write up is wrong, I'm wrong, the Spice Girls' A&R man is wrong, their biography is wrong. Apparently only the Spice Girls themselves count as an official source. Very logical reasoning. :cool:
May 13, 20187 yr A Spice Girl should never be trusted as official source, you should know that by now Vibe. If every thing was true what Mel B says we would now be on the 10th reunion tour.
May 13, 20187 yr Brilliant top 2, SYBT is 3rd for Spice Girls behind Wannabe and Stop for me but still an absolute TUNE and ofc Pure Shores is perfect :wub: Thanks for doing this Jack!
May 13, 20187 yr Author I found my info from Wiki, sorry - I tried with the writeups to be as informative as possible.
May 13, 20187 yr Yes Geri spoke about Love Thing . Why is this turning into a drama ? Pathetic :lol: you’re the only one making this into a drama by refusing to accept anyone else’s information but ok it never came from the horses mouth you know the same ones that said Stop was on the first album and can’t remember lyrics to their own songs...
May 13, 20187 yr When it comes to the Spice songs that made the Top 10, I'd rank them like so: Spice Up Your Life 2 Become 1 Say You'll Be There Wannabe :wub: Great choices, BuzzJack! Two fantastic Little Mix songs within the Top 10, my fave of the two being Touch. I will sound basic lmao, but it's one of my favourite songs of the 2010s decade for sure. I wouldn't have predicted Scandalous being this well-regarded on BuzzJack! It's a tune for sure. I probably wouldn't put it within my own Top 50 girl group songs, but it is my favourite by Mis-Teeq. It would have been nice to see All I Want and One Night Stand also making it into the Top 100 final list. No Scrubs a stone-cold classic, all that needs to be said. *.* Sound of the Underground is probably low Top 10 for me in terms of Girls Aloud songs, but I can understand why it's the most generally liked song of theirs and it's certainly one of the best ever debut singles! I already commented on Pure Shores, but seriously, what a song. :heart: I got the CD single as a 12th birthday present, and I remember playing it over and over. It's such a dreamy, ambient song - that production still sounds so fresh to me, 18 years on. A very worthy winner. Thanks again to Jack for your hard work - such a huge undertaking! I enjoyed reading through the commentaries and your thoughts on certain songs.
May 13, 20187 yr I found my info from Wiki, sorry - I tried with the writeups to be as informative as possible. You did a great job I only questioned one thing . As I said ‘thread of the year’. Did you see my request about the initial results before we had to vote again ?
May 13, 20187 yr i read that ‘holler’ was supposed to be the first single? it’s been posted quite extensively online?
May 13, 20187 yr Pretty surprising top two but both classic songs (as are all of the top ten). Thank you so much for completing this, Jack, it's been a great read.
May 13, 20187 yr Author You did a great job I only questioned one thing . As I said ‘thread of the year’. Did you see my request about the initial results before we had to vote again ? I will try to post as soon as I have time :)
May 13, 20187 yr This has been a great read, thanks for doing this! I wonder, was there anything like this before? In any case will be interesting to see how results compare next time this is done!
May 13, 20187 yr Pure Shores *.* brilliant winner and brilliant second place Say You'll Be There - my favourite Spices tune thanks for doing all this Jack, it's been fantastique <3
