Victoria gets such a hard time for her vocals but she is constantly supporting the others with her harmonies. As Melanie says I wish she would have more confidence and belief in her talent.

 

This is very true. Yes she had limited range but she could really sing well and she always did great harmonies indeed. She was also very clearly missed on Say You'll Be There and Love Thing! In terms of harmonies, her absence was quite apparent during the 2019 tour... Geri would take on some, but she isn't very good at blending (they even said it themselves on live TV in that iconic segment on Jonathan Ross :teresa:

I'll second that. VB doesn't have the same vocal power of Melanie C, but, she doesn't need to. I always found VB's voice to be pleasant; I think my favourite vocal from her is in Love Thing. Girl slayed that track at Wembley in 1998; her choreography, attitude, vocal, all of it.

CORRECT :w00t:

 

Victoria indeed was great at blending, her issue was sometimes she'd sound flat as a pancake on a solo verse.

Lack of confidence, I think, and specially when she took on verses that were not 'hers' like Geri's lines in Wannabe or The Lady is a Vamp (which Geri also constantly fell flat on lol)...

 

but honestly? Even Mel C sounded awful doing some of Geri's lines lol... her screetching in Wannabe at Wembley and Earls Court still haunts me today

It’ll always be like that:

 

Melanie C

 

Mel B / Emma

 

 

Victoria

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Geri.

 

Forever-era was annoying AF. But I did love it in terms of vocals. And Victoria delivered.

Geri vocally was great in 2019 tour, actually. But she does lack the depth that Victoria's voice brought to the harmonies. She was just great at it!

A new song should have been launched at the 2019 tour (pop up beat song).

I missed orange in that video thankfully

Agree, but instead the girls (Emma and Mel C) wanted to release their meandering solo projects around it instead, I guess...

Spice Is Back is just sitting in the archives. Even Melanie C said it was good.

I’m so intrigued to hear this especially since Melanie hasn’t been the most positive about Headlines or Voodoo yet she openly said she wanted to go with Spice is back but was outvoted!

^ The lyrics of the first verse have leaked a while ago:

 

Everybody, yeah

Rock your body, yeah

Everybody, yeah

Rock your body right

Spice is back, alright!

 

 

Not really. :-P

Omfg THIS!

 

Geri's vocals are horrendous.

 

Also, is it a fact that she quit the band again after Wembley?

Sounds like a smash!

I bet they all regret this now :lol:

Geri mimed 95% of the SW19 tour. It was so noticeable as her vocals were so different in sound to the other 3. It was painful on the IUCD rap how obvious it was. I mean imagine not actually singing a spoken rap in a language most wont understand and that is basically nonesense any way.

She has never done that rap live. I reckon she can't remember the words, she certainly isn't as fluent a Spanish speaker as she claimed.

There's a few videos from Spiceworld 98 tour where you can see she is not miming the rap though. The official videos from Istanbul are dubbed but I think she did the rap live back then

Omfg THIS!

Yeah, I think the backlash against her made her quit/not want to do it again.
