It was also a time were they were constantly criticized of not being able to sing nor sing live, so this was a performance were they were proving that they could
PURE JOY! 😍 Lovelovelove victoria's lewk! the detail of having just one leg with the snake-up strap! like a fashion bumblebee! the og queen bee but also kinda psychedelic and just pop art and ugh sublime! also love emma in purple! and ofc mel b in leopard is always a serve!
@@andyr8577 It’s well documented Geri was still considered the lead from the beginning, and from the beginning the group was not marketed as vocal heavy.
Somebody was talking about the success of T Swift. And the spice girls popped in my head. They did in 2 years what has taken Taylor a career and two generations of fans to do.
The Spice Girls might have started off that way but they were 100% in charge of their success and brand. They ditched their management, stole their demo masters and went off and got their own contract on their own terms.
Mel C is the absolute best! If they would have fired her, they would have been idiots. Still very upset that they tried to take her fire 🔥 away from her!
I think there was an incident in the early days where Mel C and Victoria had some sort of argument or something and Mel C was told she could be kicked out. I vaguely remember hearing about it.@@Marc-zi5cq
@@Marc-zi5cqthe massive fight she had with Victoria when they attended the Brit Awards in 1996 before they released Wannabe and were unknown to everyone was the final straw- that's when she was threatened with being removed.
@@jonathanlandau-litewski7405 Oh right, i think she told Victoria to eff off and then management threatened to remove her. Victoria seemed to have alot of power of people even back then even though vocally they could easily do without Victoria but without Mel C, they would have struggled.
@@LouisjcxAmazing! Even 25 years later I can remember it so well (it was my first ever concert too so I guess that's why I can remember the exact feelings of being in a massive arena for the first time!)
I think it's no secret that three participants had good voices in this group. These are Emma, Melanie B and Melanie C. But Geri and Victoria, in my opinion, are good actresses on the music video and the stage. It is for this reason that they weakened somewhat with the departure of Geri from the group. Geri, with her debut album, proved that she can give good musical material. I give my preference to Melanie B for the very beautiful timbre of her voice. But, Melanie C is, without a doubt, the strongest singer among all five.❤😊
I think Geri and Victoria's voices are very unique and they have a beautiful tone, even though they are not as strong as the other's. I love them both still.
Geri had a brassy, bright voice. And her presence on screen always was strong. Her will came through the camera when on screen. All those glamor model secession galvanized her for being tough as nails with The Spice Girls 🇬🇧💋✌️👠💃
Its so sad that even at this moment they seem so unsee. Gerri is clearly uncomfortable and looking around for her cue. Emma comes out very incomfortable and looking to her sisters and just barely hangs on to her harmonies with an, also flusdered, Gerri. The Mels held it together, but clearly something was going on before this performance. They were bot in top form in the beginning. They delivered the ebtire damn thing which just shows how amazing these women are, despotite the obvious neglect froun their managment
Amazing performance! Loved the transition from the black & white to the full colors. They were also singing live and their voices complemented very well. Also the audience seemed to really enjoy them. At that time they were n.1 in the world. A joyful track, no nudes, no vulgarity, pure pop music and entertainment.
I was in 5th grade when it came out too!! Ginger was my favorite! Me & my 4 bffs were the Spice Girls for our 5th grade talent show, the opening act. We performed Say Youll Be There, & our crowd went wild! Lol if there had been awards I'm almost positive we would've gotten first place! We all dressed our parts so well❤ ill never forget doing that.
This just proves that even Mel C struggles when forced to sing at a lower register than what is comfortable for her. Victoria sounded perfect here because the solo was within range for her. When Mel sings the higher notes she sounds great. All singers struggle and have their own vocal limitations and faults. None of them were Mariah Carey but they could definitely sing, and they complemented each other well.
