I always loved 2 become 1
You’ve reminded me of the beautiful outro from the live version, it’s so dreamy!I always loved 2 become 1
I’ve definitely heard a version with Geri getting a line. It’s Victoria’s part with the lyrics changed
Omg I forgot about that! Handing back my Spice fan-club card as we speak
I used to be obsessed and had both versions lol. This was what they said was the reason:Omg I forgot about that! Handing back my Spice fan-club card as we speak
)If that’s really why they changed it, it would be so sweet of them!
I wonder if that was because of her husbands scandal? Cos if anything, Victoria was always the one holding back on a Spice Girl reunion of any kind. I’m surprised Mel B didn’t bulldoze her way through and insisted Victoria’s doc was about the Spice Girls anyway, Geri regardless!
Love ‘what took you so long’
One of my first memories I have is having McDonald's just before Christmas and I had a keyboard and 2 become 1 was in the McDonald's radioI always loved 2 become 1
Dunno if you're familiar with the album tracks, but if you liked Goin Down, there's a song called Gaga with the same type of sound to it. It's one of my favouritesI can’t decide between my favourite Mel C song, I loved when she went punk witch and chopped all her hair off on Goin Down. But then I also loved the vocals on Northern Star. Beautiful. I LOVED I Turn To You - a proper club banger. And then Never Be the Same Again was something else (RIP Lisa
No I personally don't think so. I think Geri knew (or was well advised) to realise The spice girls had peaked by 1998. They were still getting hits, but the music landscape back then was so fast moving and fickle. They would have become 'yesterday' very quickly and I think the press would have turned on them in no time (looking back they already were with the booing fiasco).
Excellent summary and I completely agree. Britney Spears made her debut after the release of Spiceworld and before the release of Forever and completely changed the pop music scene, like the Spice Girls did before her, when they snatched the limelight from the boy bands. Like you said, a brief moment in time at the perfect time. Zeitgeist.No I personally don't think so. I think Geri knew (or was well advised) to realise The spice girls had peaked by 1998.

I remember my Mum warning me not to buy a Spice girl lunch box that Summer as they'll be uncool soon- she was right! By 1999 I did not want to be seen wearing my spice girls tee!
And rightly or wrongly, once they went off to get married and 2 of them had babies it kind of changed everything.
I think the beauty of them is that they burned bright and took over the world but it was a brief moment in time. History was made!
Thanks!
Plus as soon as they sacked Simon Fuller he went to work on creating S club 7, who I clearly remember at 9 years old thinking were very much 'in' while the Spice girls were 'out'. No loyalty from me at all! It has the hashtag #Forever25, the album Geri wasn’t on
