If you want, I can edit my post and lower the score. I actually gave it a 5 already, but thinking about it… it’s like 60% Spice, and on top of that about 20% really gets on my nerves 😅 So yeah, maybe it deserves a 4 after all.

Feel free to edit the post, but let me know if you do please as I have started a spreadsheet and will need updating. But no .5 or anything like that.

Nah, I was only joking, I’m not changing the score.

Truth is, I probably should’ve rated Song For Her even lower, but if I gave it a 5 at the time it’s because I reckon I was taking into account things like the fact it was an unexpected comeback, and honestly it had a bit more taste than Headlines, even if it was missing the Spice factor.

So yeah… the 5 stays. 😁

In the words of Mel B, todehhh’s the dehhhh I dooo the raaaate

Thank you all!! I am going to finish collecting the votes and will crack on with showing the results very soon!

Some real SHOCKERS coming! You bitches really shitted on some of the group's best songs hey?

OK Spice Bitches let's go! It's time to reveal the results!!

We're breaking down the most random, rare and underappreciated Spice Girls classics! From complete drivel to absolute stunning songs, it's all here and we love them all !! (even Do It, apparently, for some reason because you don't love yourselves!)

41. Spice Invaders

Score: 4.27

This song is full of valid information. Information like 'never wee with your knickers on'

Released as the b-side to Spice Up Your Life, this almost-song provides a glimpse into what the Spice Girls might be like in the studio. It contains random sayings like the quote above, Indian-music samples, Geri hugging a tree, and Mel B grabbing her phone. I never understood the hate for this track. It's pure Spice Girls, having some mad fun in the studio. I think it is quite anarquic, in a way it is them completely ripping up the pop-song rule book and having fun with it!

Still, it is the least loved out of them all.

40. Voodoo

Score: 4.54

Cuz the fever's gonna get you yeah yeah

Wow... I mean, what to say about this... The girls really tried to re-create a poor version of Who Do You Think You Are with the lamest production and lyrics ever with this song... It was shocking SHOCKING that they would even include this song in the GREATEST HITS ALBUM (said in Victoria Beckham at ROTSG Tour introducing Headlines voice!)...

It's probably their worst ever album track, and it sounded dated on arrival. They tried to create a new 'zig-a-zig-ah' with this, with the awful 'Party La'... I mean, what the hell does that even mean? It sounds so fake.... Even Biff appologised for this, and whilst they have included it in every single released vinyl edition of the Greatest Hits, they made the wise decision to not include it in the Yoto Card version of the album, so as not to scar the over 5,000 children that were gifted that!

39. Sleigh Ride

Score: 4,63

Father Christmas doesn't exist, Mel!

The very first Spice Girls christmas release, and the first one to include them talking over each other in between singing! The song that opened the path for Spice Invaders and Spice Chat 'Shall We Say Goodbye Then'!! A b-side to their first Christmas #1, 2 Become 1, it still plays on the radio a lot but doesn't necessarily stream that well... Sadly it feels quite forgotten, it only streamed like 150,000 on Spotify this month, compared to their other Christmas song which has streamed over 10x that!

It could really be a Christmas stapple if they played their cards right, since it does get picked up on radio/TV across the season, which signals that some effort by the record label is being done (and some coin is being made!)... Recently, Ferne Cotton said in her BBC show that this was her SECOND Favourite Christmas song of all time!

Not here though, it fails to convince the BuzzJacks!

38. Song For Her

Score: 4,81

Nobody knows, but I’m barely just keeping it together

I don't know why but this song feels very Geri 'Half of Me' Halliwell and I am really glad it leaked and that reunion failed as a consequence. It is awful. I will leave it at that.

37. Likely Stories aka C U Next Tuesday

Score: 5,08

I know the truth about your indiscretion, let it be your lesson, you know where the door is (Likely stories)

SOME OF YOU REALLY HATE FUN HEY!! Thank God Mel C saw the light and leaked campaigned so hard for this song to get 'out there' that it did eventually turned up online! And we're talking about MEL f***ING C, the woman who said 'b-sides are b-sides for a reason' and was adamant that unreleased songs were so crap they should not be heard, even though she herself has filled her solo albums with absolute drivel for the past 25 years!

It's a bop! It's Spice Girls at their best: fun, naughty, sexy and playful, while being rude as f*** at the same time. It's definitely why it wasnt released, but it should one day be included in a sort of Anthology or collection release.

I'm surprised it is so low, I though most of the fandom really loved it.

36. Strong Enough

Score: 5,09

You're a little girl, in a big and rocky world, you've got your own way at last

In many ways, this is the big sister to Song For Her. The lyrics are totally cringe and 'fridge-magnet' type of empowerment tripe. Seems like most of us are glad it got left on the demos floor!

35. One of These Girls

Score: 5,18

but when we got together we just come as one doin' mmm, mmm and a-whoa yeah

The second b-side to 2 Become 1, and one of their first songs to be performed LIVE ON TV before they were mega famous. It seems like at some point this was even considered for the Spice album, but it was ultimately reduced to b-side status (and thankfully so!!)

I would definitely have had Strong Enough lower down than that. Likely Stories is better than it for sure.

That feels rather harsh for One of These Girls, to be slumming it amongst and even below some leaked demos. I'd at least have that song the Top 30.

I don't think Spice Invaders deserves to be dead last personally - there's a few songs here that I'd consider to be less enjoyable than it (mostly some of the leaked songs). It's a funny song!

Song for Her represents such a weird moment in Spice history. I mean, within the last 18 years, 2016 is the only year we know of that a few of them decided that it was worth a shot at making music together again. That's kind of wild! Particularly considering that, technically, we were never meant to hear this song, given that they had a change of heart/change of priorities. This song really sounded dated on arrival, so even more so now. I don't really like how this song came to be - its existence feels like it stems from a bit of mean-spiritedness from the three ladies involved (considering the concept of the reality show they were considering doing... ugh). Also from a personal issue, this song can't help but completely remind me of a really nasty time on DenDen involving you know who. All in all it's a total boot for me, should be last place. I doubt I'll ever listen to it again (I listened to it the other day while scoring for the rate). I gave it a 3 simply because there's a very basic catchiness to it, but that score still put it last for me.

Sleigh Ride would probably do better on streaming with the version which doesn’t have them talking over the track. Universal should be promoting that version on their playlists.

Voodoo should have remained in the archives. Still can’t believe the group and the record label approved this release. I wonder how Headlines would have done in this rate. Yes, it was technically a single, but the group themselves don’t really treat it as such.

Likely Stories has the potential to be a strong promotional song on a future anthology collection or Spice anniversary edition. It’s fun, sassy and every group member has distinct vocals on the track. The vocals and production need to be improved though. I could hear Sabrina Carpenter singing this song.

Song For Her is total cringe. Their worst song along with Voodoo and Spice Invaders.

One Of These Girls is fine. Something about this song has always bugged me. Something in the production just irritates me. Can’t put my finger on it.

Strong Enough would be better if it was sung from the first perspective and not the third. I am strong enough is more empowering than are you strong enough. Strong Enough has potential to be a decent song if the lyrics were cleaned up a bit.

34. Sugar & Spice

Score: 5,45

Here we go with flow, you know

One of the first songs the group ever wrote and recorded, back in the day when they were changing the name to Spice, it was written by the group inspired by the name change! Leaked this year during a mass-leak of unreleased songs (including also Melody of Life and a Mel C and Victoria Beckham demos) by fans upset that the girls were neglecting us by giving us nothing over the years, the song was a breath of fresh air to a fandom gagging for unreleased or new material from the band.

Doesn't look like the BuzzJack girlies love it that much though. It is definitely 'of its time' but it provides a good insight into the type of songs they were interested in, as it had similar groove and structures - and a rap! - to some of their biggest hits. The sampling, the r'n'b of it all, Mel B's shout-singing... it's a fun track! Definitely could see this as a b-side to one of their singles, and they should have kept it for the Spice era at least... Geri's rap though is..... pretty f***ing bad

33. Feed Your Love

Score: 5,46

Seems like the situation's stretching in front of me, it's tempt of a kind, it feels so right

The first song written in the infamous original Biff sessions! This soul-pop-r'n'b track was released as part of the 25th anniversary celebrations of Wannabe and Spice in 2021 and marks, to this day, the ONLY song from the vaults to be gifted to the fans, after 25 years of us asking for it! It came to prominence and much fan-fare over the years when Biff posted a clip of it on his Instagram years ago. Fans went mad and wanted it to leak or release and finally - finally - they caved in.

It's filled with innuendo - it is rumoured to be about oral sex lol - and it is naughty and spicy as they come. When the group were choosing the tracklist, this was left on the cutting floor, like C U Next Tuesday, for being too raunchy for the audiences they wanted to tackle. Let us remember that this is still very much a demo, without proper mixing and/or finishing. Some of the vocals are a bit rough, but who cares??!!

It's a rare gem that we were given, and a pretty good one too! Let's hope it is not another 25 years before they gift us another gem like this.

32. Outer Space Girls

Score: 5,48

Two thousand years, some kinda fantasy
My baby in the interstellar odyssey

Right, this is a shocker to me! Not that I like it, but this has for years been banged about as one of their most fan-loved b-sides but it seems like the BuzzJack girlies don't particularly rate it (like me lol)

Lyrically it is fun, but this is a bit too on-the-nose cringe to be an album track, and it served perfectly fine as a b-side. Geri's intro 'Get with the M-G-M-V-E' bit as always reduced this to almost Steps level of pop and the 'Outta Space Giiiiiirlllsss' with the robotic voices always made me cringe a bit too much, but it matched the 'spice world' theme of the second album, for sure, and it also matched the start of the 'futuristic music' that the industry was going into at the time, with the turn of the millenium.

Fan-fact: This, alongside Walk of Life and Step To Me were originally at least considered to be included in the main album. We know this because the Spice Girls mentioned about STM in the official mag being on the album, Walk of Life showed up in a few album work-in-progress promo CDs pre-release and all of them were mixed by Spike Stent - something Virgin wouldnt spend the huge amounts of money that the very expensive Spike Stent costed, unless they were expecting it to go on the album.

31. Christmas Wrapping

Score: 5,63

Tesco has provided me
With the world's smallest turkey
Already in the oven, nice and hot
Oh damn, guess what I forgot?

Released as a b-side to their THIRD Christmas #1 hit Goodbye, this little Christmas treat is a cover of 1981's original by The Waitresses, with slightly modified lyrics (although no-one apart from the original sole writer gets a credit!). It was recorded by Emma and Mel C only as Mel B and Victoria were heavily pregnant during its recording sessions.

Side (sad) note: this is, to this day, their very last b-side

After being pretty much forgotten by most for 20 years, it recently became a bit of a streaming and radio hit during Christmas, after going viral in 2022 and thus being included in some pretty heavy Christmas playlists across streaming platforms - no doubt a push by the EMI/Universal label. It streams so much during the holiday season that next year might become their SECOND most streamed non-single on Spotify, after Never Give Up On The Good Times.

After the group pretty much ignored it going viral and becoming a Christmas streaming force, finally this year they did something about it - that something being putting it on a digital EP available only to stream, the inglorious Spice Up Your Xmas! EP Hopefully one day they will do a lyric video and/or a little Christmas EP vinyl release and give it proper attention? LOL we can only wish...

Edited December 29, 2025Dec 29 by Mr.X

I like Sugar & Spice except for the really droney "sugar and spiiiiiiiiiiice" hook which grates after a while lol.

Feed Your Love is nice to have. Insane behaviour that it's the ONLY unreleased song they gave us across the entire 25th anniversary "celebrations!

I quite like Outer Space Girls for having a particular 90s sound that they didn't otherwise explore, so it stands out.

Christmas Wrapping is cute, wish it was a full 4 piece moment though!

Sugar & Spice falls into the same category as Likely Stories. It’s a cute demo which would be great for a compilation album if properly mixed and mastered. These are probably the type of songs casual fans want from the group. It’s kind of silly the group hasn’t officially released these to expand their discography and give their fan base something new to listen to.

Feed Your Love is great. Mel B’s vocals are like butter on the track. The outro is beautiful. I really wish they would release an edit of the song though. The last two minutes kind of just plod along.

Outer Space Girls doesn’t deserve to be this low, but I do think it’s vastly overrated within the online die hard Spice community.

That's my main issue with it too and also with Outer Space Girls - the way they do 'Giiiiiiiiiirlss' in the chorus annoys the hell out of me lol

Exactly. I don't know why they act like these songs are the worst things ever. They are fun demos to be enjoyed by the fans and expand their discography, not to go and perform at Wembley Stadium lol

Agree on your Feed Your Love take. If it had a shorted edit, I think it would be really f***ing awesome and probably higher in this rate. Mel B in the verses and Victoria and Emma in the chorus are pure heaven. Shame barely any Mel C but I remember reading that she didnt do her verse/ad libs as they decided pretty quickly that it wasnt going to make the album or something like that so they never finished it.

Geri’s rap isn’t terrible in Feed Your Love but it’s kind of hard to make out what she’s saying. I wonder if a 3 minute ballad edit would elevate the song.
