Sonically I feel its a stronger album than Spice, particularly including Viva Forever which makes my top three songs of all time along with Maybe and Never Be The Same Again

 

This.

A gorgeous, almost perfect album. SO varied and well made, with influences from all over the world.

 

Im not sure an album has ever so perfectly incapsulated the MOMENT that the Spice Girls were having in 1997-1998. They were on top of the world, and delivered a masterpiece of an album alongside a film and traveling all over the world. Specially for a follow up to an already massively successful album!

 

Viva Forever is one of the best songs ever written. Spice Up Your Life one of the best POP ANTHEMS ever. Too Much is one of the best balads ever released, so classy and polished. Stop is a pop culture ICON!! Move Over was never a single but it is up there as one of the most memorable songs/videos of the decade. Never Give Up On The Good Times is a perfect disco song that should have been a single., etc etc etc

 

The videos are all left-field and cool for a pop act too.

 

A perfect moment in time, this! And still stands.

Spice World deserved some love in 2007 by releasing NGUOTGT

Im not sure about that. It TOTALLY should have been released in late August 1998 though, to coincide with the end of the tour, Wembley and the end of the era. By that point, they would have also released it in America.

 

Would have been a MUCH better strategy to mark them moving forward without Geri and slot really nicelly between Viva Forever and Goodbye

I kind of like Never Give Up just being a strong album track. Its good when studio albums have really strong iconic album tracks that you wish had been a single.

 

24 years :o

 

I remember getting it from Woolworths on release week and Stop instantly being my stand out for next single. :wub:

 

This album is popart

Totally agree with this! Could have just had a tour montage video too to mark the end of the tour so not the hassle of filming a news video etc.

A whole 24 years since the release of our second album 'Spiceworld' 🌎 Here’s a small selection of some of the pictures and videos you’ve shared

Spiceworld was my first ever CD, a Christmas present from an Auntie (who sadly passed away 3 years ago) :heart: I really treasured that CD, it was such a prized possession! Utter perfection!

P.S. If their team could replace the horrible quality Spiceworld artwork on streaming/digital platforms, with the image they've used in the above social media post, that would be great xx

Viva Forever is one of the best songs ever written.

 

:yahoo: Unequivocally, 100%, absolutely, YES!

I really hope Spice world gets the same treatment as Spice 25 has as for me as much as i enjoy spice i much prefer spice world.

Me too but I hope next time UMG somehow gets the memo that the fans would really really really want a range of reasonably priced CDs :cool:

Yeah same. I'm not crazy about multiple editions of CDs to be honest, but a 1CD for general public and a 2CD for collectors/fans like the one for Spice25 (though with more actually unreleased songs please girls!), would be amazing.

 

Spiceworld CD isnt in print, I dont think? So that would make extra incentive for them to do it

In her book, Melanie said Do It isn't a good song :teresa:

Denying >>>>>> Do It

Denying >>>>>> Do It

 

They should replace Do It on tour and do Denying or Step To Me instead :teresa:

Its bizarre that she'd hate the Spiceworld track she shines on most vocally but shes entitled to her opinion. I think Do It is fantastic.

I also agree with Mel C that Do it is overrated but my reason is that she’s hogging all the singing on it, which I didn’t quite like (same with Wasting My Time)

This makes me think - how come Stop hasn't gone viral on TikTok as a dance challenge? It was simply made for it.

AGREE!!! If only they could do something like that....

 

Also, they *need* to update the Spiceworld original cover on streaming platforms... that scan is horrid :blink:

25 years ago today

 

The first performance of SUYL on UKTV :wub:
