I just realised second time watching this that Spice Up Your Life replaced the song that mourned Princess Diana. Candle In The Wind was the best selling single up to that point and the nation as whole went “yeah but this new Spice Girls tune is a bop”

Emma took the hat to try and get some money for the homeless people from the rich family that just pulled up. When she didn't get any money from them, she tossed back the hat.

I have smiled out loud several times already.

I was a young teenager in 1996. I was dancing in a club one night in 1996 and they played wannabe. I had no idea who sang it but I remember thinking that they sounded very brazen and bold. I went to the bar for a beer and asked the bar man who sang that song. A week later all the children were dressing as a spice girl .no joke. Then my little sister loved baby spice and we decided to dress her like Emma. She was so beautiful. Little butterflies in her blond hair and everything. By this stage, spice girls were everywhere here in Ireland. You could not escape it. But it brings back happier times to me now. I remember people falling in big shoes in those days to. Shoes were big yokes then. Lol

i appreciate how you spoke about the jerry situation. its not childish drama, there is no good or bad, it was just a woman trying to save her mental health from deteriorating. to some extent, she did let the other girls down, however i think that if she kept overworking herself to the extreme god knows what could have happened.

Your commentary on pop culture is brilliant. I was caught in the spice craze as of today I feel the general public see them as a 90s children pop act rather than credible artist, with Mel C being closest to credible for vocals. Yet like you said at the time they were loved by public figures and embraced in pop culture in a major way. How times do change

Your analysis of Spice World being devoid of tongue and cheek humour and sexual innuendos makes me think if they’re demographic becoming more and more towards children is the reason why Last Time Lover is the only song from their first two albums to never be performed live.

I’m a 33 year old male who loved this documentary so much that I showed to my Brazilian wife and sat through it all over again whilst she danced to every song. #amazing! 🙌 This deserves way more views!

Who Do You Think You Are at the Brit Awards is the most iconic performance of all time. You will never convince me otherwise. Also, that Spice Invaders song, Jesus, I know it’s ridiculous but I used to listen to that song on repeat when I was a kid because it felt like chilling with friends. I wore the tape out. Lastly, the B Side to Say You’ll Be There, Take Me Home is criminally underrated.

@@user-dv6fz2gq7h No, you don’t get it. It doesn’t matter that it’s playback. They were at the peak of their power, it was the 90’s, you couldn’t just go on their Twitter to see what they were doing or watch their music videos on KZread, you were sat there watching it in your living room with the rest of the Country. The energy in that stadium can be felt. From the introduction to the walk down to the song kicking in. And then it was cherried on top by Geri’s dress. There’s nothing remarkable about any of these women and none of them are winning singing contests individually but together, in this moment, they were *untouchable* . We’ll never experience something like this again. Ever.

No no.. Spice Girls were less like The Beatles and more like The Monkees, who were treated with the same disregard due to being four actors cast as musicians for a TV show, yet they earned #1 hits and have a huge fanbase. In actuality, the four actors thought they were hired for their musical ability (singers, songwriters, musicians) but the hollywood machine had to churn out weekly hits so they hired songwriters and musicians and had the four actors sing as well as do the weekly TV show. People called them the "pre-fab four" (prefabricated) and never took them seriously. Eventually they fired their producer and became a real band, but the rumor that they couldn't song-write or play instruments has always haunted them.

Except the Spice Girls were one of the few pop groups that actually wrote all their own songs. Every song on all 3 of their studios albums was written by them, including every #1 hit they have ever had. This means that each Spice Girl gets royalties for every song of theirs that is played or used in media, which makes each of them rich.

I'm 26 so I was too young to like The Spice Girls at the time, but for whatever reason, as a budding tween I caught the Spice Movie on TV and became obsessed with them for a few years (it's weird, I'm a guy), and interestingly, they have left my psyche pretty much in the same way as they left the public imagination.

Man, I turned 30 a couple of weeks ago; Spice Girls played a major role when I was a young boy. Literally your video showed up on my feed this morning, and here I am; called my boss and told her I'm feeling sick and I think I'll spend the entire day doing nothing but reviving 90's music. Thank you man, nice narrative you've got.

I truly believe it all comes down to what was stated above. The "Monkees Syndrom" Everyonde knows the story....man named Brady meets lovely lady...er, no....genie in a bottle, rubbed the right way...nope....the whole started as girls who answered call ad, got picked, lived together, was "manufactured", said h to the f no and ran, did their own thing. Unfortunately, co-wrote all their songs, had major ideas that turned into chart-topping realities, intertwined the shit names some lazy reporter gave them and wove that into their individuality stance, and generally did whatever they wanted to do get dropped from that did their own thing umbrella. They were considered "Pure Pop" and even to this day, most acts don't want to be associated with that. There's some stupid stigma on that which I never understood, It took Mel C DECADES to overcome that. Never be ashamed of where you came from. It's how you got to where you are. Admit it, we would all collectively crap our pants if Miley ever dropped a "Best Of Both Worlds" beat in a concert. And she should. (Well, legalities aside, I'm sure).

Wow! This is amazing!! I’m a HUGE Spice Girls ever since I was a kid. Thank you for putting together! I’ll always love them.🥰💖 subscribed!

Thank you for this. I do love the Spice Girls and even though I do still listen to their songs every single day of my life, this video made me so nostalgic. Am I too naive and deluded if I keep on hoping for a new reunion and - why not - new songs? It CAN'T be over! Greetings from Italy

Tomb Raider came out in 1996 as well, both franchises probably helped give each other a popularity boost.

I ate this one hour + long video up like a snack. This is a master piece. Ty for bringing back so many memories and for finally helping me understand why Spice World and Forever don't hit as hard on me like Spice

Very good documentary.... I love the memes and humor! I was surprised when you have skipped a whole massive song on Spice "Naked" that's a good solid one that shows how great the girls know how to make use of each and every voice in the band.

Also, let’s be honest. We can all agree that spice girls are ONLY great when it’s 5. I’ll still see it with 4 (truthfully the 2019 tour is one of their best) but the magic is captured when the 5 personalities are together. Come on Vicky

Dude... MDMA line had me in stitches lmaaaaoooooo

brother keep these type of videos pumping, your channel has potential!

My GOD, YESSSSS. Thank you so much, I love this, all presented in this well spoken British voice and humor ❤️ Little do people know they were a real band from the start.

Man, those deep-dive videos are awesome. It's like watching Tom Scott exploring long forgotten musical pop-culture relicts with a hint of Ashens humor and early-internet memery mixed in, but all researched and explained in-depth like only Alec from Technology Connections does. - Boy, I never expected to watch a three part each an hour long video about dishwashers, and neither an hour long critique and exploration of the Spice Girls phenomenon ... and enjoy it! Well done 👏 Extra points fore loose quote-hinting at Herbert's Dune (again) while keygen music is blasting.

Really enjoyed this, I didn't know much about the history of the spice girls and you present the story with humour and enthusiasm. I think you have it right to say that, while not forgotten, their status/impact has been made less in hindsight by their over-merchandising and later, more childish image.

Approx 90% of the music I listen too is from the UK. I think the Spice Girls opened the door for me to listen to all these artists. I was a child when they were huge and now I listen to artists from the UK from the 80’s to now. The Spice Girls taught me about the UK music and the British flag. I remember being 8 years old being in awe of London. Still to this day, I want to travel all over the Uk. I do have British/Scottish lineage on my fathers side, so maybe I feel a connection to it.

This was such a fun video. I was such a big spice girl fan when I was a kid. It was also a very different time to see or hear the spice girls when you only had a TV en no KZread or Spotify, which made it more exclusive. I also remember having these pictures, chupa chups and that horrible tasting crisps that I had to buy. I forgot about those. Thanks for taking me on a fun journey through my childhood. And you're a great host to listen to.

I was 100% hooked on the Spice Girls. I rebought their first 2 albums and they are on constant rotation in my car. Spice World the movie is also a cinematic masterpiece. I wish they gpt more recognition now a days. I'd much rather have a resurgence of Spice Girls merch over FRIENDS. They are Icons, ledgends and will always be the moment

Great job!!! I loved the documentary and the way you told the story...

you gotta love "something kinda funny", the beat is very similar harmonically to "ma quale idea" by pino d'angiò who basically took the bass line from mcfadden and whitehead's "ain't no stopping us now", played it slower and rapped on it (which was mindblowingly ahead of its time for 1980 italy). both of these songs are eternal hits and "something kinda funny" sounds like a 90's american r'n'b version of "ma quale idea" with a sort of simplified bass line, but the catcthy vibe is undoubtedly still there. that's some clever production right there, you take a formula that 's worked well in the past and make it your own. amazing video btw, keep it up

Almost everyone knows about the Spice Girls. Those of us that lived through the nineties were completely saturated by all the publicity, so most of us don't need reminding what it was like. I was quite surprised that I learned a few things from the video, and I think it will be a slow-burner on KZread in the coming years as more and more people want to discover or rediscover the Spice Girls. Right now isn't the right time for a revival. Mainly because the band was SO FAMOUS, it feels too soon. (Note that no one was interested in the Beatles in the late '70s and early '80s. It wasn't until the 25th anniversary of Sgt Pepper that interest began re-igniting. Maybe the Spice revival can only happen if the women disappear off the telly/tabloids for a few years).

I can’t agree with all of your critique but you are ABSOLUTELY HYSTERICAL. And this video is magical!! So, so wonderful.

I love "Spiceworld", to me it is their best album. It's pure bubble gum pop. No it's not very edgy but Bubble Gum pop is meant to be light, fluffy and fun, it's not supposed to be edgy. It didn't need to be risque or sexual like their other two albums. It is also their most diverse and eclectic album with every song sounding unique and different. And if they were so pressed for songs, when why didn't they release "Leader of the Gang" on the album or at least have it be a b-side?

The Gary Glitter song? After the child porn allegations, he was the most unpopular man in Britain. It would have been a PR disaster to do anything that would mean he got paid royalties. It would be like releasing a cover version of the Jim'll Fixit theme tune. When your target market is 4-8 year olds (and you need their parents to buy all your records and mercy) it's not a good idea to have a connection to a famous paedophile.

This video is incredibly satisfying. Well done and thank you.

I love how you insert yourself in the clip for a few seconds 😂 this is so good btw ❤

Now i watched the entire thing. Oh my goodness you covered it entirely so well. The firing of the manager leading to more work/exhaustion later, the lack of cooperation & splitting the group across hemispheres (defeating any chance of performance, like it was a book tour or something?) as a terrible promo for the third album, etc etc. The Forever "era" (or even, I think, the "post Fuller" era) is truly rife with some things. I watch interviews from that time (Emma & Victoria came to the US, where I'm from) & it just wasn't the same. I of course bought the album & was crushed when it wasn't a hit & had zero promo. I still love Holler but yes it totally sounds like a lot of R&B of the time. etc. etc. I could go on but what a great video!! Thanks for making this!!!

This video really does sum up the phenomenon that was the Spice Girls. Their first album was like r&b lite and introduced their more risqué lyrics and messaging while their second album has a lot of songs that seem more like “ideas for songs.” Their grueling schedule and constant merchandising was cool to revisit in depth (ie Chupa Chups branding to target Spain) this video is a fascinating, almost step by step study in pop culture and music; overall a nice tribute to Scary, Baby, Ginger, Posh & Sporty.

This was amazing! And I loved Move Over on the spice world album ✨✨✨

Came here after the valerie video and man i love the way you coment. Yeah they shouldn't have switch to make music for kids audience only, since we (back then i was a 9 yo kid ) loved them for wannabe and i didn't get the sexualized lyrics or outfits i just loved to see 5 friends having a blast. tbh I also want to point out misogyny (as why they're not remembered ). People in general hate whatever girls in their teens love. It's like a morbid pleasure to despite what teenagers like. It happenes to twilight movies/books too (this one is based con lindsay ellis video aboyt twilight).

It's a nice video, i loved it! I actually went to London in december and went to the st pancras hotel for pictures and tea. The service was absolutely horrible. Please do a video of Girls Aloud!

I really wish I had got into the Spice Girls earlier. I also really love the Sugababes. The Sugababes are almost unknown here in the U.S.

That BRIT Awards performance represented the entire nation of Britain collectively saying "oh we are so fucking back". In an age where Britain couldn't be further into its "it's so over" era, it's hard not to see the blinding optimism of the Spice Girls and yearn for simpler times.

These Pepsi cans were not available in my hometown in Germany and I was livid about it.

Great video!

I actually really liked it . I agree different perspective and especially the comparison with Friends...and the Spice Girls being equally big pop culture trend setters in the 90s. Despite all the behind the scenes troubles and addiction...Friends stuck together and were there for each other.. that's why they stood the test of time snd are looked back with tremendous respect for not just their craft and brilliance of the show but their genuine friendship behind the scenes even if they haven't been in the same room for years .. the time that they are together they cut out any insecurities and kept it democratic from the get go by taking some divisive actions spearheaded by Scwimmer earlier on.. with our girls.. the moment Geri left or even before that i imagine..they had a huge Take That hangover looming over them and it was all about the race to become the member to be remembered who quit to go at it alone ...Mel C and Geri no doubt were very big Take that fans and it was them mainly who wanted to seperate themselves from the group and be recognized as solo artists. And hsd their careers not taken a dip or nosedived after the initial success due to the spice mania. I doubt the reunion would have happened at all in 2007. The sad part is...that after all is said and done it's really about that one member who outshines the other ..and is a bigger star like Robbie.. turned out to be Victoria'. And i imagine David wanting her to be a spice girl for the fans but there is too much bad taste that came with each tour and reunion.. 98 - -Geri Leaving. 2000 Mel.C mental issues 2007- Mel B and her husband causing the whole thing to go out on a whimper...and their Diva attitude and demands it wasn't a band anymore. It was a group of ladies with a seperate entourage who were more concerned with being their absolute best to outshine each other .. unlike the Heyday where it wasn't so much about looking great but a chemistry and a genuine friendship. I know that bond will always be there..but when one or more members is on a different level of stardom then no matter how much they try there is always going to be that unspoken discomfort which grows over time . Hence its not REALLY about not being comfortable on stage. It's the fact that their ethos is not completely realized till now and it doesn't feel true to some of them to be faking it on stage with that friendship thing when they have such little material to show for. Had their catalogue been bigger and there had been atlesst a third album and they had continued successfully as a five piece.. and ended on a high...things would be much different..and the public wouldn't be so ambivalent about seeing them....on one hand they cling to the 90s nostalgia and the good memories of that era and childhood which is a big plus going in their favor.. on the adverse side they don't learn from their mistakes. If it was too much saturation and product placement and selling out in the 90 s that lost them respect..the reunions are no different..they continue to do the same thing. and cash in on the friendship thing by putting up a poor show and screwing their loyal fans like they did with 2007..2008 ...date after date after date at the 02 to just make the money and then announcing last minute that they can't do it anymore..(i have a theory'that the world had forgotten about them or moved on and the real reason for not taking the shoe to many of the places promised were the lack of registrations) the whole email thing was a standard market survey to test that despite all the promotion and accessibility of launching a website..they didn't get as much demand and registrations from those places where the generation of kids had grown up and most don't remember the spice girls..) plus it's exhausting to tour. With families and what not so why can't they reunite ala Friends. Its still not too late to close this chapter on a high ...and give us something new .the problem is they are still stuck in the 90$ and the traditional approach to make money ie ticket sales and POS merchandise with a bit of social media and on-line ordering thrown in.. not too different from the orignal marketing model. And they fail to make a real mark with their reunions going unnoticed because since they parted with Simon..they didn't have anyone to oversee the visibility angle of them apart from a few tv specials and documentaries here snd there.. even Simon is obselete snd redundant now .. They need to get the right person to mastermind this Reunion if it is going to happen and make money but not in the tried and tested way.. they need to go back to the girl power and female friendship message.. it's the only tactical approach that will get them the mass appreciation and closure...right now they only have the LGBTQ and female in their mid 30 s who tag along with their families and friend's.but once they change the message back to girl power this time unfiltered...it would get people to listen.. and add in narratives of interviews through the concert at a comfortable venue inviting fans and some a list celebrities to sing and dance with them. together they can pull it off.but without posh Netflix and no network will touch them .but they have to knock it out of the park and not Wing it. And give it the best ending it deserves for the guilty pleasure tag to hopefully go away and them being remembered for who they truly are..The OGs of Girl power and Pop music game changers

This channel is a blessing

Fantastic video my man. May I suggest normalizing your audio levels for future ones? I had to watch this adjusting the volume levels every 2 minutes.

Really great video. Was hoping you would cover the 2007 reunion tour. I graduated high school that year and it was announced that summer I remember the day they had that press conference and Geri was wearing that AWFUL frilly “free people” type dress 🤮 and go into how they fared in the years that passed. Mel C had amazing solo material and Victoria just basically took over the world of fashion and became a brand in and of herself. She is so fabulous to this day. Also they did the 2012 olympics which was the last time they performed as the five of them as they would tour again without Victoria because she just became to big for that ishhhhhh. These are important moments in their story as well.

Oh my god! I got here through the Eric Prydz video and this is the greatest spice girls think piece of all time. Howard Hands you’re a f****** genius. ❤

Dope documentary, never thought id be watching a doc about the spice girls, you make very interesting documentaries, just watched the eric prydz one too, keep it up!
