I love this c.d! i wouldn't change anything. I used to listen to them when i was a girl, though, i think i love them even more now. My favorite track is "2 become 1", it's so pretty!
Okay, here I go with each song:
"Wannabe"-A good song, just a bit samey. I especially like the melody with Geri's lines.
"Say You'll Be There"-OK, I suppose. I just don't click with it.
"2 Become 1"-Same with the last two. It just doesn't capture me.
"Mama"-A little better, but I'd expect better from the Spice Girls.
"Who Do You Think You Are"-Now this is good. But still not as good as I hoped.
"Move Over"-The most pointless song I've ever heard. Boring.
"Spice Up Your Life"-Happy, light, sweet...what's not to love?
"Too Much"-Very nice. And a bonus with Victoria singing solo.
"Stop"-Just samey. Very bubblegum girl band-ish.
"Viva Forever"-Definitely one of the best songs. Live forever indeed!
"Let Love Lead The Way"-Just as good, but maybe a bit harder to get into.
"Holler"-Not as bad as "Move Over" but a bit boring.
"Headlines(Friendship Never Ends)"-Better, but it just doesn't capture me.
"Voodoo"-Now this is good. As they say "The fever's gonna get you, yeah yeah"
"Goodbye"-"No no no no" as they say. This song just doesn't have the edge the best ones have.
I personally think "Voodoo" is the best. Most of them are pretty good, just not original. I reccomend this CD, just not strongly.
Okay so if you're a fanatic you bought the singles. So for 2 becomes 1 you get the version with Posh singing that bit instead of Geri (less politcally correct version about "boys and girls look good together" vs Posh's "love will bring us back together". I still don't get what was redone/mixed with my favorite "Spice Up your Life" song. I wish they did an extended intro like from the movie!!! Who Do You think you are is the video version where the ending (Mel C's chant) is shorter which is AWESOME. I wish Holler was the extended version or video version. Goodbye the intro is shorter i guess like the video. Say You'll Be There" I think that was pretty much the same, I was hoping they'd do the alternate opening they did on the Istanbul concert/Mtv concert
A plus is they did 2 songs where most reunion cds only had one new single. I wish there was a video for Voodoo
As far as the picture book, not much NEW PICTURES. Again as a fanatic i've seen most of the picture (in the tour program, in official books or photos) so that was kind of a let down. I guess that's a legal thing b/c I'd have decided to use a different picture from a photo session. Like sometimes you'd see the picture of them sitting on the floor sofa (released poster) and the alternate pose is on the official book. But i'd have used another picture from that roll.
oh well.
OH AND I'M PISSED THEY'RE NOT RELEASING THE DVD CONCERT. THEY SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST DONE LIKE THE LAST TOUR AND RELEASED IT ON TV!!!!! It was the BEST REUNION CONCERT I'VE SEEN. Trumping Michael Jackson's/Jacksons even. Most groups just get onstage and just sing the old "hits." Spice Girls had costumes (some trademarked from the 90s era like Geri's Union Jack dress!!!! awesome and sometimes similar choreography. And the look was similar. Posh changed her updated blonde bob back to a dark color.
oh and did you see the Christmas commercial!!! the BEST. ANd the Victoria Secret fashion show performance!!!! most groups don't do that!!!! I.E. New kids on the block (what's up with that!!! i wanna see the 90s look for reminiscance. I'm glad Michael Jackson still wears the glove and black jacket for billie jean. Could you imagine him not dooing the choreography with the costume? NO WAY So Props to Spice Girls for this, i wished they'd release the concert though........
