Mr.X

They look cute! I was out this weekend and saw some Funkos in a shop and went in to check how much these little rascals are and each go for like €15, which is honestly less than I thought it would be. So I will for sure get the first three when they are released and then the other two later on.

Decent lyrics is about how they convey a meaning without being clunky or sounding unnaturally composed. I find a lot of Mel C lyrics are undercooked, not developped enough or simply just plain boring, no flair to them - which is the same issue I have, for instance, with the whole lyrics of Let Love Lead The Way, or Geri's third album specifically. Not every song needs to be a bloody poem lyrics wise but some development in this department is, for me, her biggest fail so far. She has developped in pretty much any other department, just this one really lets her down, imo. Pressure's lyrics are adequate to what the song is. They are not brilliant - none of her lyrics are across her record - but they are good for the song, which is an improvement for her imo 🙃

WHo the hell is voting Pressure aka one of the best songs on the alabum???!!!

Sweat going first is not just hilarious, it is deserved! It's terrible. And no, don't worry there's still a couple rounds to go for me to go after WCPGW! This Time.mp3 I'm going for Attitude

Oh glad she is holding on! Hopefully she stays in the Top100 by Friday

Tbh it is a terrible song. Definitely Mel's worst on the album and her worst lead single as a whole. It's also very gimmicky as a song, which personally doesn't bode well for me at all.

From what I see over the last few months, it actually depends on how active the girls are - whenever they release music!

It's all about that second week now, will the Spice Girls forum remain in the top or will do a #1-OUT?

Somehow the mouths look creepy as hell lol maybe it's for the best the SGs ones dont

Oh if they did Say You'll Be There ones and Viva Forever ones, I would buy them for sure! I'm not fussed about ANOTHER set of the Brit Awards one with the union jack all over it. I think I would skip those, or at least Geri's (I removed her Union jack piece from the Lego set lol).

OK I went back to the album and my god Flick of the Wrist might be one of her best songs ever! A proper tune, well crafted overall. So far, I am taking: Drum Machine Pressure Cashmere Flick of the Wrist Stunning, surprising songs overall. I know Cashmere is not everyone's favourite but I like its vibe and makes me happy, and I loooooove when she sings 'honey' in the second verse, it is heart melting. The rest is still not clicking with me.

It would actually be hilarious if Sweat, the first single and the song that gives the album it's title and framework, is the first one out LOL

Thats my second one lol

oofff that was quick! Thank you for doing this babe ❤️ I'm going with Sweat. It is my least favourite song overall and the one I think, after a few listens, that grates the most.

Thats probably what I will do, wait for a sale lol

Thank you @Spiceboy ! Those are sales, not including streaming right? Somehow they feel really low but I guess outside of the UK not many countries would compare when it came to buying singles...

I think I will put it back again in 1997/Spiceworld to go with the date on the CD thanks @Sideout and @-Jay-

Yeah I agree it is strange... Maybe it is from 1997! A theory could be that they did the original demo with Melanie C in 1997 and then further developed it into a full song in 1998 when Mel B was pregnant for what was to be the next album, and maybe this is what she remembers?...

That's incredible! Thank you for sharing babes

That's mean. He's a babe! No negativity here pls

I think they all look great!

UPDATES: Mel C just said in one of her signings that Can't Stay Tonight was recorded while Mel B was pregnant and that the full finished song might turn up at some point. We always thought it was from 1997 but I guess it is a 1998 recording, damn! Maybe from the post Spiceworld tour sessions in Oct-November 1998 since Mel and Emma recorded with Biff and Matt during that time?...🤔 I have added the upcoming Mel C with Roger Sanchez to the list

They really put their whole main efforts into the UK and Australia this time and at least in those two countries it paid off.

So so far we have: UK: #3 AUSTRALIA: #5 GERMANY: #54 AUSTRIA: #44 So far, that's all we know for international positions right?
