The demo used for xmas’s rehearsals. In the documentary you can see them rehearsing Holler's choreography, but without the audio. The version that appeared in 1999 is very pop and quite different from the final version. The type of guitar is different, the beat is cooler. The bass has more presence which makes the music more interesting. And there are some other typical pop elements used, but I can't explain them in detail.

From my point of view they should have ended things decently. Why change styles if they knew the group was breaking up? Here in Brazil there is a saying: Don't mess with a winning team. They had it all, the only thing they were supposed to do was the same old stuff. They should have released a third pop album, two or three singles and played a few shows, a short European tour and done. They should have released Woman as a celebration single, the clip would have shown their entire trajectory. Holler's pop version should be very interesting and would make a great second single. A documentary to wrap things up where they would do an assessment of everything they've achieved, everything about Geri's departure and her importance in the group, backstage of the last tour and of course the official release of the last show. At the end they could oficially take a break and then venture into solos. The fans would have understood and the solos would have received more support. Their legacy would have been much better. There was a lack of intelligence at that time. The fact is that this lack of intelligence has lasted until today. The 2019 tour should have officially been released on streaming, Netflix.. whatever. We should have a box full of unreleased songs, demos, good remixes and the relaunch of the old shows. But, of course, this would never happen to the best girl group in history, right? I don't think we'll ever get to a full circle.

Sure. Even the canceled pop songs from 1999 are far from the style of the previous albums. They tried to follow the trend of the time, which was the pop style of Britney and Backstreet Boys. And for some unknown reason someone said: “forget pop, follow the RnB trend, change the image..” What feels wrong about that time is that many things were left unexplained. As fans, we were afraid of the end, doubt about the paths they would follow as a group, we were enjoying the new image but things were strange. The media was tired of them, wanted to get rid of them. The solos came with a bitter sweet taste. There was a rivalry between the fans to choose which one would get a better position, and honestly everyone was wanting the group to continue in parallel - which was obviously impossible. In 1999 and 2000 Melanie C was the only one who maintained a solo career with the group and the result was disastrous for her: anxiety and depression. I see the Forever era as a special unfinished chapter. First the promised and awaited pop album that never happened. The long-awaited tour that never happened. Bad promotion on top of a controversial album. And an “ending” that has haunted many fans for years to come. No wonder why Forever still causes so much fantasies. The “What if…” era.

😂😂 In this case, I would trade Look at Me to Woman.

Like That goes well with Forever. No Trix No Game too. Victoria's album is the one that best matches the Forever tracklist. I haven't listened to her album in a long time, it used to be my least favorite. Listening to it again, these two songs have aged well

I always saw Schizophonic as the album that would most closely resemble a third album as 5 piece. Songs like Lift Me Up, Walk Away, Mi Chico Latino, Goodnight Kiss and Bag it Up are 100% Spice Girls music. Bag It Up is almost a version 2 of WDYTYA. Goodnight Kiss sounds a lot like Too Much, by the way.

To keep the same idea as the previous two albums. Forever would only have 10 songs - Goodbye was put in there as a bonus. It doesn't match the rest of the album.

I was making a Spice Girls playlist, wondering what a third album with solos would be like (as there were rumors at the time, before Geri left the group, that there might be solos on the third album). So, Imagining an alternate reality where the girls never broke up and the solos would be content for the third album, what tracklist would you create based on the songs released around 1999/2001? A few rules: The album must have 10 songs. You must choose 5 songs from Forever and 5 solo songs from the first solo albums only. A song for every spice girl. ( If you don't want to include Geri, the missing song can be replaced with an other song from forever) I really liked how the result sounded. I wanted to know your opinion and what your choices would be like. FOREVER ( with Geri ) 1- Holler 2 - Right back at ya 3 - No Trix, No games 4- Let love Lead The Way 5 - Mi Chico Latino 6 - Hotter 7 - Never Be The Same Again 8 - If You Wanna Have Some Fun 9 - We re Not Gonna Sleep Tonight 10 - Goodbye FOREVER ( without Geri ) 1- Holler 2 - Right back at ya 3 - No Trix, No games 4- Let love Lead The Way 5 - Tell Me Why 6 - Hotter 7 - Never Be The Same Again 8 - If You Wanna Have Some Fun 9 - We re Not Gonna Sleep Tonight 10 - Goodbye

New melanie c album in 2024? I doubt. I believe it will be this year. you seem to have forgotten that she was already in the studio in 2021. I remember that she showed a preview of the recording at that time.

what they sang ?

let's be honest. The only interest in a forever celebration is getting the discarded demos and pop versions. The biggest interest is obviously to have WOMAN.

I like the live versions. The wembley version with the extended ending is the best. It went well with the introduction of Viva Forever. The chorus is my favorite part on the album version. I remember in 1996 standing in front of my house and seeing a woman in a parked car listening to Mama at top volume..lol

They are more likely to release a special edition box with all available materials: demos, live, remixes, unreleased and some new songs. In this context, songs not released in the Forever era would make more sense too. I see this happening along with the next tour to celebrate one last time. I also believe that this time there will be a professional recording of the tour for the commercial purpose that can compose this box. Full circle, finally.

And Melanie C new album ?

There is no better promotion then people constantly complaining about the gap!

I love Is This Love, but I have no idea from what era it is. And the story about this song. Spice : Take Me Home - album track Spice World: Walk of Life - album track forever: Woman 😂 - album track and lead single

Fly? You mean.. just like a car in a precipice :w00t:

I dont give a SH** about what the girls will think anymore. Its been more then 20 years. Many artists give the fans demos, unreleased and rare stuff. EASILY! All of them are pretty aware that we are dying to get all of this things.... and what do they do? They just keep teasing on a endless cycle, justifyng with bullshit talks, saying things that they even dont care or dont know about it. And instead of just release a decent material, milk some money and make fans happy.... they just give us randon lyrics videos, boring documentarys about geri leaving the group and more of the same bla bla bla! So, yeh, i dont care about what they think.. Come on !

I think this is perfect. JJ Abrans has a different view about things. He working on a Spice Girls project is something I would never predict 😂

Finally this song will be released. Question: when?

If it happens, the girls will be the most awaited act..like in the olympics. So they might have 4 or even 5 songs. I would go with (in this order): VIVA FOREVER WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STOP/SAY’ll BE THERE MEDLEY SPICE UP YOUR LIFE WANNABE

I heard the only person allowed to dress white is the Queen. So, probably Geri will refuse...

Anymore, think about it and Next Best Superstar are missing! The rest is perfect.

What?!?! :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: Fearless is a great song, powerfull lyric and has a good vibe.
