We NEED to talk about Spice Girls 

Lol

im from Vancouver Canada, my dad came home from work in 96 (worked at CP Railway) said that the whole staff room talked about Wannabe when it came out. Night time radio talk shows talked about how the world hadn’t seen a girl group like them before (96)

Stiff nipple facts & headbanging cat.. what more do you need?

@@sounds0fmeows or since..

I 100% agree

almost 30 years later and I'm glad somebody finally had the guts to say it!

He's asking the _real_ questions

hahaha hello!

I really doubt I could see them on an old crt tv

@@nrok113 if I recall correctly the CD had a video of Wannabe on it that was playable on PC. The resolution was definitely there on PC.

Same mate

Yeah same lol

AMEN

Same, I hope to see more videos!

I have smiled out loud several times already.

I can't believe you can order alcohols let alone in clubs in Ireland age 16. That's just wrong.

This changes everything

No. She was being a dick.

Holy shit Spice Girls music video lore

I was gonna comment this. I felt betrayed and disappointed lol.

Thank you

What kind of turd types their concern for someone and then types jerry? Jerry is a farkin bloke's name imbecile.

I agree it was a necessary move for each eventually to explore their growing independence and potential and have space but she said it was the arguments with the girls although I think the arguments added to the stress of the job

huh

Yep!

just because mel c is singing along to the "huh" part doesn't mean the call and response is between them. the call and response is "Yeah, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want So tell me what you want, what you really, really want". which is sung by geri and mel b

​@@andysky4862He just said thst it's Mel C singing the 'ha' part: Mel B 'I wanna' Mel C 'ha' Mel B 'i wanna' Mel C 'ha' Mel B 'i wanna' Mel C 'ha' He's right, some of the girls wrongly lipsynced to the other girls parts in the video. Geri lip synced to Mel C and even Mel B lines and Victoria lip synced to Mel B 'u gotta u gotta...' it's something I've just recently noticed

A similar thing happened to Donna Summer. A lot of people remember her as the queen of disco but she did so much more.

It’s crazy when you think about the rubbish is out today in pop music. They deserve more recognition.

No No. In their time, The Monkees never invoked as much of a cultural change as The Spice Girls or The Beatles.

but people would compare them to the beatles ecause of the sucess never before a group reach soo much sucess so quick this is the reason why media would compare them with the beatles all the time

Except the Spice Girls were one of the few pop groups that actually wrote all their own songs. Every song on all 3 of their studios albums was written by them, including every #1 hit they have ever had. This means that each Spice Girl gets royalties for every song of theirs that is played or used in media, which makes each of them rich.

The Royal Family would not have comment on the affairs of the Monkees

@@Lil_Angry_Bitch no they weren’t

Aww, I think it's so cute how you were allowed to stay off school because you were upset 😂

Yeah

best mom!

you mean, dancing wise? that was playback, sound wise :)

@@user-dv6fz2gq7h No, you don’t get it. It doesn’t matter that it’s playback. They were at the peak of their power, it was the 90’s, you couldn’t just go on their Twitter to see what they were doing or watch their music videos on RU-vid, you were sat there watching it in your living room with the rest of the Country. The energy in that stadium can be felt. From the introduction to the walk down to the song kicking in. And then it was cherried on top by Geri’s dress. There’s nothing remarkable about any of these women and none of them are winning singing contests individually but together, in this moment, they were *untouchable* . We’ll never experience something like this again. Ever.

True. Comment so algo picks this shit up and delivers it to everyones eyeballs.

Victoria thought it was great (that Geri was all over the newspapers) because it gave the group publicity.

Me too, watching it after the Eryd Pridz video because he talked about Geri Yoga and the video he did about the Spice Girls so i needed it to watch it

I truly believe it all comes down to what was stated above. The "Monkees Syndrom" Everyonde knows the story....man named Brady meets lovely lady...er, no....genie in a bottle, rubbed the right way...nope....the whole started as girls who answered call ad, got picked, lived together, was "manufactured", said h to the f no and ran, did their own thing. Unfortunately, co-wrote all their songs, had major ideas that turned into chart-topping realities, intertwined the shit names some lazy reporter gave them and wove that into their individuality stance, and generally did whatever they wanted to do get dropped from that did their own thing umbrella. They were considered "Pure Pop" and even to this day, most acts don't want to be associated with that. There's some stupid stigma on that which I never understood, It took Mel C DECADES to overcome that. Never be ashamed of where you came from. It's how you got to where you are. Admit it, we would all collectively crap our pants if Miley ever dropped a "Best Of Both Worlds" beat in a concert. And she should. (Well, legalities aside, I'm sure).

I like them but come on - cinematic masterpiece? Even they didn't try to sell it like that. More like a Magical Mystery Tour rip-off. Well - they both had buses, close enough.

Actually "Something Kinda Funny" is more of a knock off of "Hey Mr. DJ" by Zhane. If you listen to that song, it backing track sounds almost the same as "Something Kinda Funny".

Almost everyone knows about the Spice Girls. Those of us that lived through the nineties were completely saturated by all the publicity, so most of us don't need reminding what it was like. I was quite surprised that I learned a few things from the video, and I think it will be a slow-burner on RU-vid in the coming years as more and more people want to discover or rediscover the Spice Girls. Right now isn't the right time for a revival. Mainly because the band was SO FAMOUS, it feels too soon. (Note that no one was interested in the Beatles in the late '70s and early '80s. It wasn't until the 25th anniversary of Sgt Pepper that interest began re-igniting. Maybe the Spice revival can only happen if the women disappear off the telly/tabloids for a few years).

Always go into a private tab when entering a weird rabbit hole on youtube!

As they should. The Wiggles are gods.

I will deny this til the day I die....but- Yummy yummy yummy fruit salaaaaaaddddddd

Because - as pointed out in the video - of the association with the original artist, who turned out to be a nonce.

The Gary Glitter song? After the child porn allegations, he was the most unpopular man in Britain. It would have been a PR disaster to do anything that would mean he got paid royalties. It would be like releasing a cover version of the Jim'll Fixit theme tune. When your target market is 4-8 year olds (and you need their parents to buy all your records and mercy) it's not a good idea to have a connection to a famous paedophile.

They are definitely still remembered, “Wannabe” has been streamed around 600 million times on Spotify since that launched in '08. But I still think he has a point about them receiving less attention from critical or institutional corners than you'd expect for a group that was that iconic.

I cant fathom why the Sugababes weren't popular in the U.S. Only a few of their songs charted. Wish I discovered them and the Spice Girls earlier.

@@RedSkylinex60 as someone born/raised in the USA it’s quite clear why they never made it big in the USA. It’s not the quality of their music (that rarely matters in the USA) however there is a quality of production that isn’t quite there compared to spice girls or other crossover acts

@@vibeology9432 I’m American as well, some of the British artists from the 90s 00s sounds different from most the American stuff of that era, it has this interesting vibe to it that I can’t explain. Maybe if they had a worked with a producer like Babyface or Max Martin they probably could’ve made it big here but that probably would’ve killed their uniqueness. Those are just my opinions.

@@RedSkylinex60 I honestly think they had songs that could’ve fit decently well on US radio. Overload, Run for Cover, Round Round, Angels with Dirty Faces, In the Middle, No Can Do.
