Relistened to this album, this evening :cheer: Another great album and it follows on naturally from the debut and definitely shows growth in terms of vocals and production. Again, the singles are all near perfection, with one of them being actual perfection. 'Never Give Up on the Good Times' is fantastic too and definitely an album track highlight :wub: I just can't stand 'The Lady is a Vamp' and hate how it ends an otherwise flawless album.

10. The Lady Is a Vamp

Listened tonight too together with Jay and i totally agree with this ranking.

The Lady is a Vamp is good on the album but [great live.

 

Was definitely a highlight of last years tour for me. In fact it's been a highlight of pretty much every tour.

I feel like The Lady is a Vamp is cute but it could be retired in the future tours, like Mama... I feel it's had its time.

I think they enjoy performing TLIAV because it's a bit of a different style for them, and also I think they like putting themselves up there with all the legends in the song... I mean they totally are up there with them :wub:

It’s an easier song for them to pull off live for sure .

I think both of your comments are true.

 

Im just not sure it works so well live though. It was probably one of the flattest moments on tour last year, even worse than that pointless Move Over video intro (which only made everyone want that song performed even more lol)...

 

I remember thinking that the Disco section would have been a perfect moment to do a If You Wanna Have Some Fun or Saturday Night Divas remix but alas...

I have to say I always find TLIAV performances a bit flat. I feel like if it's going to be done it needs to be a big cabaret moment with the dancers dressed up as the people in the song (Sandy, Danny, Marilyn Monroe, The Supremes, Jackie O even drag Spice Girl characters) and it needs to be a big send up with fireworks etc really play up to the song and it's theme. Otherwise perform Move over, Step to me or Saturday night divas.

Move Over would be awful now, can you imagine lady in white Geri stood there looking stiff and awkward as mel c and mel b throw themselves around and Emma looking lost. They just about got away with Holler with Geri as they did that silly tea thing.

That's a good point... although I can't see Emma looking lost in any performance she would give it her all :wub: I think she only did the tea thing because of Geri otherwise she would have done a dance breakdown too.

Even back in the Istanbul days the rehearsals have Emma and Victoria saying they couldn't get into Move Over and rock out.

 

I honestly couldn't see Emma not looking a bit silly during a rocky full of attitude song like Move Over now.

I don't agree. There's plenty of scope for them to bring their current personalities into it and let loose. Geri can still do the queen thing around the stage as she wishes and Emma can do her Baby Spice thing whilst the Mels rock out.

 

And please, lets not talk about the tea bit in Holler last year. It was plain embarrasing. They could have made more of a thing about it instead of just fake drinking tea. They could have brought some boys in leather on stage and sat on them, walk them in a leash like in the Return tour, etc... They can do it, they just need to get their heads around it and go for it!

You think current Geri is leading men around in leather 😂😂😂

OMG ^ we agree on something

I kind of liked "the tea thing" in Holler lol, incredibly random but it was fun! Love a bit of drama x

How was it dramatic ?

Because it was highly exaggerated, generally people don't throw their arms up in the air with a teacup lol.

 

Edit: We're veering away from Spiceworld discussion, let's try and keep on topic!

Yeah otherwise I'm going to have to use my mod powers and move this discussion to a new thread! (Not that I have a clue how to yet... :lol: ... still waiting for my training Jay Jay!)

Lessons begin tomorrow :whip:

 

 

To be on topic: The Lady Is a Vamp is my least favourite on the album, but it's still an 8 out of 10 for me! It's a showstopping ending to an incredible album. Sometimes I feel more in the mood for it than other times for sure, and I can totally appreciate that it's an acquired taste. I do think it was one of the relatively weaker performances on last year's tour... they need to do something more visually appealing with it if they perform it again.

For me it didn't need any visuals they all seemed so into it when performing it. I couldnt take my eyes off them.

HYPE ~
