Summary: SPICE UP MY LIFE!
Review: I totally liked the movie and the songs that the Spice Girls did. Some of their songs are relaxing and others make you want to dance! this movie really had all their songs on it and it had some funny moments! Their are some other scenes in the movie with the Spice Girls like meeting aliens, dancing with a soldier director, Spice Girls delivering a baby, riding in a boat with little girls getting them into an accident, and the policeman forgiving them from speeding their spice bus just because they're famous! the movie can be a little overatting because it has a thin plot! But it is a good movie for Spice girl fans like me!Although their singing are a little off sometimes and their acting but I love them and I love their songs. Too bad Spice Girls are not around anymore!

Summary: Spiceworld.
Review: In 1997 The Spice Girls were everywhere. Their debut album Spice was selling like crazy. They were touring constantly. They were maked fun constantly and they were in every magazine out there. Nude pictures of Geri were found and put in playboy and all kinds of stuff was happening. There were rumours of Anorexia. They acted in their first film in the summer of 1997 and right afterwards recored their album. In november 1997 their second album was released barely a year after the first one and that album was still seling well and a month later the film Spice World hit theatres.

Well this album was not as good as the first one. There were many fillers and plaine old boring songs. The songs that were any good were the hit singels and that was Spice Up Your Life, Too Much and Stop. I didn't like Viva Forever that was corny. Other songs were okay or bad. The Spice Girls obviously made this album in a hurry and it shows. Vocally it is not as good as its predecessor. Geri is obviously not having too much fun and Victoria gets to sing. Obviously it had to have some backlash and it did. The album debuted at disapointing no. 8 in the US although it would peak at no. 3 two or three weeks later and sell 4 million copies there. Spice World sold over 15 million untis world-wide far less then previous album and just few motnhs later everybody had gotten tired of The Spice Girls. By may 1998 Geri quit the band. Victoria was engaged. All of them were trying different things and it just seemed like the Spice Girls were over.

Summary: Why did they make this film
Review: I hated the Spice Girls before this movie and then I hated them even more after I saw it.Stupid,boring and dull only a child under the age of 10 would like this huge mess.

Summary: Spice Up Your Album Collection!
Review: Like their first album Spice, Spiceworld is very much same kind of music. The average quality of the tracks is a little bit better. "Spice Up Your Life", "Stop", "Move Over", "Do It" are tracks filled with girl power.

"Too Much", "Viva Forever" are good examples how to make good, peaceful songs. Finally here you can notice that 5 girls can sing very amazingly together.

"Lady Is a Vamp" reminds me of 60's and 70's. It has a little bit jazz. So has "Saturday Night Divas" and "Never Give Up on the Good Times". It is good to hear that Spice Girls wants to make different kinds of songs. "Denying" is very tough song.

This album is very good and I recommend it everyone because it brings joy.

Spice Up Your Life 5/5
Stop 5/5
Too Much 4.75/5
Saturday Night Divas 4.5/5
Never Give Up on the Good Times 4.75/5
Move Over 5/5
Do It 4.25/5
Denying 4.5/5
Viva Forever 5/5
The Lady Is a vamp 3.75/5

Summary: Pure Pop Perfection
Review: I was rummaging through my old CD's today and came across the Spice Girls. I remember 7 years ago when I first heard "Wannabe" and I went wild! Awesome song!

Anyway, back to the album: Spice World was an AWESOME movie and this soundtrack is an awesome trip down memory lane!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Superb follow up to the ground-breaking debut album
Review: When someone mentions a certain year or decade, I instantly think about the artistic creations that were influencing me at the time. For example, when I think back to the years of 1996-1998, the Spice Girls instantly spring to mind. Before this pop phenomenon, I had no interest in music what so ever. Then I heard "Wannabe" one day on the radio and was hooked. The Spice Girls were brilliant, every young kid in the world was in love with them and they made me happier than I had ever been. At 10 years old, I didn't understand that they were obviously ruled by the record company and seen as total pop-puppets by anyone who wasn't a screaming teenage idoliser. Looking back, I think of how innocent the whole thing was; I had no idea of their money-making and manufactured image. All I cared about was the music...and Geri, but that's a different story. This band rocked the world - more so than Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Madonna, Mariah Carey and even Michael Jackson ever did. They were simply the biggest pop phenomenon since the Beatles, at least in the UK. Their run of nine UK No.1 singles in the space of just over four years and album sales exceeding 50 million with just two albums proved their popularity. The girls swept the board at the 1997 Brit Awards in which the band performed the classic Who Do You Think You Are. Geri Halliwell appeared in a Union Jack mini-dress and blew the minds of millions of teenage boys the world over. From then on, I was totally in love with the woman - yes, a guilty truth...but I wasn't the only one. The dress is simply iconic the world over and fetched more than £40,000 at auction a few years later - more than double than what Madonna's 1990 Blonde Ambition Tour conical bra fetched! The endorsement factor of the Spice Girls was also a big franchise; deals with Sony PlayStation, Walkers crisps, Pepsi, Impulse deoderant body spray, Polaroid cameras, Mercedes cars and much more netted each girl millions. A lot of this occured in 1997, but the girls also released their much-awaited second album, Spiceworld, in November of this year. Obviously, the album went to No.1 all over the world and sold almost 20 million copies - a significant drop for the almost-30 million sales of their debut album, Spice...but still a staggering amount compared to most other acts around.

Spiceworld opens with the fabulous song Spice Up Your Life (10/10). The first single to be taken from this second album, the song rocketed straight to No.1 in the UK in October 1997. Even more spectacular, the song dislodged the biggest selling single in history off the No.1 spot; Elton John's Candle In The Wind. You know they're doing something right when they can achieve a feat that grand. The song itself has a fantastic cultural beat to it with a swirly jungle-boogie beat as a backdrop. The video is also brilliant and looks very expensive. They rule the world in the video, with Spice all over the place. This was a reflection on their real lives and the power and control they had over the world. Stop (10/10) was the third song to be released as a single from Spiceworld and shockingly peaked at No.2 in March 1998 in the UK - their only single not to go straight to No.1 in the UK. The song has a very retro, 1960's feel to it which works wonderfully with the mood of the song. Too Much (10/10) is one of the best Spice Girls ballads to date. This absolutely superb song was released in December 1997 and became the Spice Girls' sixth consecutive UK No.1. The vocals of Geri Halliwell and Melanie C are particulary outstanding on this smash hit. Saturday Night Divas (9/10) is another brilliant song about the girls getting down on the town on, surprisingly, a Saturday night. Never Give Up On The Good Times (10/10) is the best non-released song on Spiceworld and simply swings with funk and glamour. The addictive dance beat that starts off the song is soon replaced with a classy string arrangement and the foxy vocals of Geri Halliwell. The chorus is incredibly catchy and the percussion interlude halfway through is another highlight. Move Over (10/10) is the shortest song on Spiceworld at only 2:46. The song was originally called "Generation Next" and featured in the girls' Pepsi TV advertisement. The blend of hardcore rock and funky dance beats work very well and make for another highlight from Spiceworld. Do It (9/10) and Denying (10/10) are another two superb songs. The former has a very dancey and happy feel to it, while the latter is more laid-back and relaxing with a striking R'n'B style - much better than anything on Forever. Viva Forever (10/10) is just absolutely stunning - definitely one of the best ballads I've ever heard. Released in July 1998 after Geri Halliwell's legendary departure from the Spice Girls, it stormed to No.1 in the UK shifting almost 300,000 copies in its first week of release and became their seventh UK No.1 single. The Lady Is A Vamp (9/10) is a good song to close this ground-breaking album, but not quite as good as If U Can't Dance; the closing song from the Spice Girls' debut album, Spice.

OVERALL GRADE: 10/10

Along with Spice, I consider Spiceworld to be amongst the greatest pop albums you can ever buy - and definitely the best by an all-female grop in history. All this recent news of the Spice Gils getting back for a last album and world tour would be absolutely fantastic, but I just can't see it happening. I'd love for it to happen, but the way Mel C's successful solo career is going, I don't think there's any chance. Still, we can always re-live the memories of the greatest female pop group of all time by listening to their first two albums - buy Spiceworld from Amazon now!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Spice Girls...The Best Girl Band Of All Time!
Review: This cd is one of their best. It has great tracks (Stop, Too Much, Viva Forever). The songs have fantastic lyrics and great beats. Some are good to dance to and some are slow and relaxing. This cd has something for everyone...as long as you still like the Spice Girls. Some songs could have had more meaning and been deeper but overall this is a great cd. It has the lyrics with it so u can sing along and have fun. Ya gotta have it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great follow up to Spice.
Review: Spiceworld is a very short album but it's probably pop perfection. Heck the Spice Girls with Ginger were pop perfection, pop at it's finest... next to the then and still reigning queen Madonna.
But back to the album, Spiceworld is a fun album that kicks off with the catchy "Spice Up Your Life" and you know that it did and you know that you loved it even when you said you didn't. The Spice Girls will go down in history as a girl group that changed the face of pop.
This is the Spice Girls last best album, Forever wasn't good. I recommend this to you...

Rating: 4 stars
