 |  | 5 Stars - one for each Spice :) |  |
As a younger child, I grew up listening to the Spice Girls. Spice came out when I was 7, and SpiceWorld when I was 8. Although Spice is amazing and definitely has some great hits, I must say SpiceWorld is my favorite Spice Girls album. It starts out with their huge hit, Spice Up Your Life, one of my favorites and a very popular choice among fans. Next is Stop, an upbeat song that makes you want to dance (they even made up a cute and easy dance to go along with it!) Too Much is the theme song to their movie of the same name, which is a slower ballad. Not a bad song, but not one of my favorite songs by them. Saturday Night Divas is a great song with a slower, sexy melody. One of the best songs on the album in my opinion. Never Give Up On The Good Times is guaranteed to put anybody in a good mood, with its catchy chorus and upbeat tempo. Move Over is one of the songs used for their Pepsi commercials, shorter but very good. Do It is another one of my favorite songs ever. Its positive lyrics and fun melody never fail to make me want to get up and sing. Denying is a great song, very typical Spice Girls, with each member having a part and Mel B having her little rap-type section. Viva Forever is a really great song with great lyrics as well. The Lady is a Vamp is a classic song that mentions many famous people, including Elvis, Norma Jean, and Bob Marley. I can honestly say there isn't a song on SpiceWorld that I dislike. 5/5/, an A+ album in my opinion :)
May 23, 2008Spiceworld by Spice Girls is a predictable album and after this album was released I stopped being a fan. The songs are weak and formulatic, this is the final time we hear Geri Halliwell, she left the group a year after the release of this album. Songs like Spice Up Your Life, Too Much, Viva Forever, and Stop have no flavor or edge to them, their debut album was ten times better than Spiceworld. This album is a stinker and even those euro babes knew it too.
May 5, 2008I listened to the Spice Girls when I was a young teenager. This CD brings back memories. However, I'm not really sure how today's teenagers will react to this CD. The music is dated to the middle to late 1990s.

March 18, 2008 | | They cut Gary Glitter out, but keep in the song? | |
Ten years after they first become famous, the Spice Girls recently toured again. It's all over now until they start to run low again on funds, but with their tour came a re-release of Spice World, the movie. Now I can honestly say, this film is no classic. But hey, it's good classic fun, with lots of British celebrity cameos, and bad acting (from all the Spice Girls but especially from Victoria), but it provides a few laughs.
The story is quite complicated, cos it seems to jump around quite a bit, and is extremely jumbled. Basically every plot they could think about they threw in.
I was a Spice Girls fan. I wasn't broken hearted when they 'broke up', and followed Geri when she went solo, but they were still good poppy songs, and I had all their albums. I think I still do. This was done before Geri went skinny, blonder, and didn't want to be known as a former Spice Girl. Mel B was still loud & brash, Victoria was in the early beginnings of her romance with a certain footballer, before she would take over the world (it seems that way), and Emma & Mel C seemed to have stayed remarkably the same.
There's a whole host of famous British faces in this. Gary Glitter was supposed to have a cameo, but that was quickly cut from the film when he was arrested. (But they kept in the song "Do You Want To Be In My Gang?") Other famous faces are Michael Barrymore, Meatloaf, Elvis Costello, Alan Cumming, Neil Fox (in voice only thank God), Stephen Fry, Bob Geldof, Richard E Grant, Jools Holland, Bob Hoskins, Elton John, Hugh Laurie, Roger Moore, Naoko Mori (now in Torchwood), Richard O'Brien, Jonathan Ross, Jennifer Saunders ... Phew. I bet I've missed someone out.
Spice World is one of those films that you will be embarrassed to admit you own, but it's joined by many more in my DVD collection, so I'm not embarrassed in the slightest. It's harmless fun.
