The songs are atrocious!

 

So are your music tastes hun, but here we are putting up with them :teresa:

Forever literally destroyed the biggest girl band of all time, that's how bad it was. If the Salty Mixers released it, you'd have torn it to pieces.

You need to separate the apparent flop from the music cos it stands on its own right. And I love Little Mix!

Even though you know their salty fanbase runs around the internet claiming they're bigget than the Spices???

 

The music was abysmal. With the size of the band at that time, with good music they would have done well. They might have even been able to rival Westshite.

Please. They had the whole press and industry stacked against them. The Spice Girls were no longer as popular back then. Forever still sold 4million worldwide, a big number for any other group. Who cares? It's the past, whatever.

 

All we have left is the music. Let's enjoy that :coffee:

 

And I am so over fandoms pitting girlgroups against each other. It's boring as hell and completely pointless. Let's grow up from that, shall we?

 

Both Little Mix and The Spice Girls are incredible girlbands, the best the UK has ever made. Top tier girlgroups. Let's celebrate that!

 

(No shade to All Saints, Mis-teeq, Sugababes or Girls Aloud though. Them the Top 6 of UK girlbands and all firmly in the Top 10 of best ever! Let's celebrate them too!)

I think you'll find Sugababes, Girls Aloud, and All Saints were the best after the Spice Girls x All Saints cracked under the pressure in 2001 when they realised that they were the biggest girl group on the planet now that the Spices split, and they were worried about their third era ending up like Forever.

Sometimes, you know, I think what could have been if they had released this around Spring 2000... How different things could have been...

 

 

And also, does anyone get En Vogue's 'Free Your Mind' vibes from Mel B's verse in Pain Proof?!?!? IT IS EXCELLENT :yahoo:

Pain proof is brilliant I’m a bit gutted it didn’t get a proper release!

Yeah I think with a bit of polishing up (and re-writing a couple of the lines in the lyrics), both of these could have been released, easily.

 

Pain Proof screams 2000 pop/rock to me which was also very popular at the time. Personally I dont see it as a single, but could easily be an album track or b-side.

 

Right Back At Ya was screaming to be released though.... what a shame

No matter how many years pass by Holler still sounds just as fresh to me. I'm slowly coming to the conclusion it's the best thing they ever did.

They needed to release W.O.M.A.N first at the end of 1999, followed by Pain Proof in spring of 2000! Hollier/ LLLTW could have been their last single, announced as such, but I have heard some INTERESTING rumours about a QUADRUPLE A SIDE they were planning at the time.

YES YES YES!!!!! YES!!!!!! IT IS!!!!!!

Umm ... Right Back At Ya is terrible. Pain Proof is a no.1.

I agree with Mr.X that the pop version of Right Back at Ya could have done great things for them as a single!

:cheeseblock:

Holler’s been within my 5 favourite Spice songs for a while, I’m glad it has a lot of fans here! It’s such a great track and it’s aged very well.

 

I have heard some INTERESTING rumours about a QUADRUPLE A SIDE they were planning at the time.

:lol:

 

Which four songs xx

LOL what?... :arrr:

The only pop song that would have been a hit is WOMAN.

 

All the others are way below par. I have a feeling that WOMAN live version was superior to the standard mix.

Like, you dont know that. We never heard the full thing lol

THIS!!!

 

The Right Back At Ya one is awful and just a Back Street Boys rip off, with a cheesy N Sync doo-pop sound. You saw what happened with GaGa when one of her songs just osunded REMOTELY like Expressing Yourself. Now imagine the Spices releasing an identical, although much, MUCH worse, song to BSB...

 

The reason why W.O.M.A.N is the only pop hit - Pain Proof needed some refining, but it was pop rock - is because Geri was the driving force and wrote all their songs. I bet she wrote Hollier too secretly! Not only that, but knowing that Geri was the main force, their usual song partners and producers worked with Geri instead of the Spices, when the Spices threw their toys out the pram and gave them an ultimatum: work with us ... or work with the more talented song creator, Geri.

 

WOMAN is a HUGE hit, the pop version, anyway. The Daekchild version was lifeless trash.

Wait... is there two versions of WOMAN? One pop and one RnB? Can you confirm this at all?
