It was nice to see a first time listener of Spice Girls reacting to Forever, and he really appreciated it!

 

 

Love this :cheer: He KNOWS the bops and also gave me a new appreciation for Get Down With Me :wub:

Sal had my full support when he praised Get Down with Me and Wasting My Time *.*

 

Him calling GDWM 'Groove with Me' - apparently that title shows on iTunes when you rip a CD?

Get down with me the single that should have been 😍

It's kind of hard to judge Forever when we know there are scraped pop tracks in the vault. Until we are able to hear the Forever Biffco songs, we will never know if the record label and the girls made the right decision with not using them.

The pop songs were rubbish they sounded live 5 rejects (boyband)

Pain proof was excellent!

I agree with this :cry: I do love the pop version of Right Back At Ya and that was right that it was the only song that was released. The others lacked something unique. Pain Proof was the best out of the others but even then it was a bit 'meh', not up to standard with their pop catalogue.

 

Give You What You Want was terrible, terrible terrible and im glad it never saw the light of day. Sounded like a 5ive reject and lyrically it was just painful. A Day in Your Life needed better lyrics.

 

I think we can judge from those that they did indeed need better songs to release. I just wish they had worked on those songs a bit more to polish it up and made a pop-r&b album before Forever... But whatever...

 

I would like to hear the Biffco ones though, for sure!

Eliot Kennedy produced songs for Five so it's no surprise the production sounds somewhat similar. How many Max Martin songs sound the same? Judging 1999 demos with current year ears is probably why we will never hear the Biff pop tracks.

 

Imagine if Last Time Lover never made the debut album. If it leaked today fans would say it sounds like a TLC reject.

I love Last Time Lover but it does totally sound like a TLC reject event back then :blink:

MAX MARTIN SONGS ALL SOUNDS LIKE DENNIZ POP SONGS

Now this is the true tea. Denniz never gets enough credit. RIP

There is a topic on Spice Circle with a lot of replies about doing a campaign and pushing as a fan base to make Forever chart in the top 100 on vinyl release week.

 

Hopefully we can build some momentum for it and have a #justiceforforever week.

 

If we are going to download Forever on itunes Friday 20th November it might be a good idea if us from Buzz Jacks all download it at the same time for the most impact. Like say either 0.10am Friday morning or 5pm Friday evening so hopefully it gets our sales off here all at the same time so registers a big boost.

It would be great if this could be pulled off! :wub:

 

It might be a little more difficult on a Friday to contend with the new releases on iTunes, so Top 10 might not be possible. Although as far as I'm aware, the more of us that buy it at the same time, the more likely it is to place high up. I think maybe sometime in the evening would be better.

 

Now that the fan base seems energised by helping Melanie C get into the Top 10, I hope quite a lot of fans will be enthused to help Forever too.

 

It would be so nice to see it in the chart again! Top 100 would be incredible, but I'd be very happy with Top 200. Last year in the equivalent week (November 29th), #100 sold 1,452 copies, and #200 sold 925.

It has been 20 years since Holler/Let Love Lead the Way was released! :o :cheer: :wub:

 

 

 

Can you believe it's 2 decades since the release of their final #1 single?

 

Holler is one of their best songs. Actually, it's one of the best songs of all time and that's a FACT :w00t: Such a great video too!

The way Holler still slaps so damn hard...Phew! They really did that!

 

I wish we could had more performances of the that masterpiece...

 

I hated Let Love Lead The Way at first but it has grown on me over the years! I was 10 when Forever was released so...

I remember my Mum bought me the single on Monday evening from Woolworths and when she picked me up I saw the Woolworths bag in her hand and knew she had the single. It’s mad looking back but the true physical music era was so much more exciting. I cannot believe it’s been 20 years

It was an exciting time as it had been so long since Goodbye (nowadays less than 2 years seems like nothing haha)

 

I remember buying both it and I'm Over You by Martine McCutcheon from WH Smith (I'm Over You seems so forgotten nowadays)

Martine was furious as she was also on virgin records and had to settle for number 2 !

They should have followed with Tell Me Why as a single.

In all honesty, had they continued to release singles from Forever I'm sure they would've had their first "flop" (as in short chart run + not reaching the top 3). It wouldn't have surprised me if they would've ended up charting in the lower top ten tbh...
