Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: A great collection of songs designed to put a smile on your face... Comment: Okay, I may be setting myself up for a lot of laughs here but I really like the Spice Girls. Okay, so maybe I shouldn't say `really like' but they were big when I was like twelve and me and my friends listened to them all of the time, so whenever I hear songs like `Wannabe' I get, oh what's the word; happy. There may not be much depth to be found in most of what the Spice Girls have ever released, but their music is fun and sometimes that is more than enough. With their debut album `Spice', the Spice Girls have strung together a nice collection of fun songs that are hard to dislike. `Wannabe' is just one of those great anthems. I don't care what you haters want to say, I don't see how you can't like this song. `Say You'll Be There' is another one that was perfect for the radio; spunky and fresh. It's not as good as `Wannabe'; in fact none of the songs on this album are as good as their first single, but they are still fun. `Love Thing' is even better than `Say You'll Be There' and `Who Do You Think You Are' feels like a fiesta; it just makes you want to dance. `Something Kinda Funny' is that same ol' same funky vibe and `If You Can't Dance' reaches `Who Do You Think You Are' territory. These are undoubtedly numb songs but they deliver upbeat and energetic music that easily gets into your skin and releases those fabulous things we call endorphins. Who can be in a bad mood when listening to this stuff? The you have `2 Become 1', one of those silky smooth tracks that gets that mood set perfectly. These girls have great voices and really compliment one another. They aren't just one big gimmick, even if that's how they are remembered for the most part. Just listen to `Naked'; it's slinky and seductive and unlike anything else on the album. `Last Time Lover' nails the vibe that Spice Girls so effortlessly fell into. Is it just me or do the verse-line vocals sound like something off TLC's `Crazy Sexy Cool'? I might be crazy, but I don't think that I am. The one track I am not entirely sold on, and the one I skip more often than not, is `Mamma'. It just doesn't fit that well with the rest of the album. It's trying to be deep and meaningful but it's not that facet that bothers me as much as the change up in musical chemistry. It just doesn't sound like a Spice Girl song. Anyways, I'll close by saying that this is not the greatest album out there but it is such a fun collection of songs I can't help but find enjoyment here. I know a lot of people write the Spice Girls off as gimmicky and washed up but songs like `Wannabe' will be around for a long time to come and never get old. Geri, Emma, Mel B, Mel C and Victoria cemented themselves as pop icons and will go down as one of the most recognizable pop acts of the 90's. No matter what you think of this brand of music you must admit that the Spice Girls mastered it. Customer Rating: Summary: Girllll Powerrrr!!!! Comment: So they're a little cheesy. I'll say the same thing I said about Milli Vanilli. Who Cares? They may have little or no singing talent, but the songs (especially "Say You'll Be There") are catchy as hell, and at least they came around before Britney Spears, who is so much more responsible for ruining teen pop music than they could ever be. That dreamy sex ballad "Naked" is pretty cool, too. Customer Rating: Summary: 1996's Guilty Pleasure Comment: You gotta admit it. "Wannabe" is one of the all time catchiest pop jingles. Is it in your head right now? "Say you'll be there" is also very good. The remainder of teh album, while nowhere near so catchy, isn't bad. It's perfectly respectable chick pop. Gotta own it as a piece of 90s "culture." Customer Rating: Summary: don't even think spice girls needs reviews; they are icons! Comment: i LOVE the spice girls! so happy they're getting back together! : ) this album rocks. get it! pop-py, delicious pop, and a little hip hop and r&b. Customer Rating: Summary: Still searching for the clues and secrets Comment: My life was meaningless. I had no friends. My D&D character died after a seven year run, and I still lived in the basement of my stepmoms house. All that changed with the release of SPICE. My quest for the answer has kept me busy now for over 10 years. The secret is in the album, and my Holy Grail is Baby Spice. Never have I seen such a beautiful woman. She is the object of all my desires. The perfect female specimen can be wrapped up in just two words 'Baby Spice'. When I first heard the song 'Naked' I was taken to a dream world. I listen to this album 14 times a day, everyday. And when I hear the song 'Naked', I become naked and always have the same vision, kneeling behind Baby Spice and using her pig-tails like the handlebars of a motorcycyle. Now for the album. I only share this with you because I have come to a point in my research where a partner is mandatory. I did not want to bring an outsider in, but for the love of Baby, I must. I must have Baby Spice all to myself, and I promise a great reward for anyone that can help me. If you can assist me in my quest, I promise you fame, power, and glory. All I seek is Baby Spice, the rest of the world is yours. SPICE is an acrynom, it stands for "Supernatural Place In Central Europe". I first discovered this after listening to 'If you can't dance' backwards. After more listens, I realized that SPice World is a real place and the peretual Baby Spice needs to be rescued. After wrapping my face in tin foil, sitting on a carrot, and listening to 'Love Thing', the vision was revealed to me as seen through a pink cloud. Baby is trapped in a tower in Prussia, as if that was not bad enough, a three headed dragon guards her. I went to Wal-Mart and purchased a plastic sword that glows in the dark. The voices told me I would need it. 'Who do you think you are' confirmed my belief that I was the knight to rescue Baby. Only the man that rescues her can fulfill the prophecy of '2 become 1' My quest is temporary on hold. I must find the 'yan uber gorrsay'. I discovered this after listening to 'Mama' from :23 to :27 of the song and then playing the last 14 seconds of 'Last Time Lover'. It was then I discovered that I must enter the 'Spice-rit World' never to return. I must bypass the gates of the Spirit World and locate the afterlife that contains all Spice. It is there that I find the Path of Spicage. I will follow it to the Spice Sea where the keeper will sail me to the Island of Spices. But for a ride on his boat I want answer the riddle "What do you really really want?" When I anwer the 'The love of Baby', my journy will continue. But to enter the Spice-rit World, I must find a person with Spice of heart and Spice of mind. He or she must split my skull with one blow with a hatchet, separating my left and right brain. Immediately after doing this, he or she must shove the CD directly into my split brain and then tape my head back together with duct tape. I ask all who are reading this listen to "Some Kind of Funny". Write down every tenth word and also include the 14th, 27th, and 56th word. When you have all the words written down, take the middle word and write down the last letter of the word. If that letter is also the first letter of your first name, then continue. With your list, take the first letter of the first word and write it down. On the next word, write dwn the 3rd letter. Alternate between 1st and 3rd letters of the words until you reach the end, but beware on the 6th, 9th, and 13th word, you must use the fourth letter. When all the letters are written down, arrange the letters so that it spells your name EXACTLY!!! First, middle, and last. If you can make out your exact name with no letters left over, you are the one I seek. Please contact me. I am serious, this world has nothing for me. I must rescue Baby to find my true happiness. She has been so lonely for so long, she needs her warrior to rescue her. It is my destiny to be with Baby Spice in a world where it is always 1997. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: Putting aside the Girl Power phenomenon--really, what were the chances five scantily-clad birds flashing their knickers with kung-fu kicks wouldn't make it in the music industry?--the Spice Girls really do mean something: great singles. There's not a dog in their whole back-catalogue. They kicked off their career with "Wannabe", "Say You'll Be There" and "2 Become 1"--that's the pop equivalent of an Olympic gold in the triathlon. They're all here on Spice, along with the live favourite "If You Can't Dance"--one that Geri always looked particularly picked-upon whilst singing--and that irresistible champagne effervescence of pop history in the making. The only mistake they made at this point in their career was not releasing the slinky R&B track "Naked" as a single; and if that's because the video plot automatically suggests itself as too obvious, it's not as if that curtailed any other facet of their career. --Caitlin Moran
