Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
"Spice up your life", the Spice Girls advise on the first single from Spiceworld, their second album, which was made quickly to capitalise on the movie of the same name. If that sounds more like an advertising slogan than a call for variety, solidarity, and fun, it's not the only time the disc echoes the language of a carefully planned campaign: The chorus of "Move Over" is built around the phrase "Generation Next", the rallying cry of the their Pepsi advert. And if, in turn, you come to the conclusion that this record isn't nearly as much fun as its predecessor, you're right. Any question about the creative input of Scary, Posh, Baby, Ginger, and Sporty into their own music is moot; like "Candle in the Wind 1997", Spiceworld was made to be bought, not listened to. Sure, they trade vocals this time, leaning less on the Bananarama-style gang approach of their debut, and yeah, the Motown-lite confection "Stop" doesn't exactly hurt the ear, but this disc is ultimately a bigger insult than anything a bunch of diehard anarchists such as Chumbawamba could imagine--without the kick of "Tubthumping". It also ends on a note so jarring as to settle the group firmly in the avant-garde with the fake-lounge "Lady Is a Vamp", which unfortunately praises Jackie O and Marilyn Monroe in the same verse, then ups the ante with a shout-out to Sandy Denny(!) as a Spicy role model. All together now: Uh huh. --Rickey Wright
Album Description
Great Import only coupling of their first two albums packaged in their individual size jewel cases which are housed in a cardboard box. While retaining the same tracks as the domestic pressings this is great value for the money. 2000 release.

Hopeless,
By Norliza Ismail "The Librarian" (Seria, Kuala Belait Brunei Darussalam) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Spice World (Widescreen/Full Screen) (DVD)
God! What was I thinking when I decidedto watch this movie. Oh yeah! I was a big fan of Spice Girls and I wasn't really thinking. Seriously, I expected more than this. I Thought they could have done better...MUCH BETTER! Before this movie came out, I thought it owuld be brilliant but, I am so god damn disappointed! This came out more of a stereotype of the worse movie ever. The word WHYYYYYYYY comes to mind. They have the potential to be great actress and they have blew it here! They should have gotten a better script.

The kung-fu fighting dancing queens spice up your lives,
By Caffienated Yak "caffienatedyak" (your foot) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spice World (Audio CD)
Hell, I already praised a Britney album, so this next step is only natural.Besides, who can deny that the once fearsome-fivesome (quintet?) are probably the most undoubtedly fun group ever to come roaring out of the 90's? ...Anyone? Okay, then. But back on track - pure sugary confectionary pop perfection all for us. Woohoo! Fast-paced furious latin-vibing Spice Up Your Life (built around a dancey piano line and godknows what else), the calming, watery, crammed-to-bursting-with-pretty-strings Motown vibes of Too Much (The Supreme Spices? Hmm...), the slinky sexy TLC-esque 90's R&B of Denying, the chilling Latin-tinged (there's that phrase again) ballad Viva Forever... And the rest of the good stuff: The loud, energetic Pepsi anthem Move Over, the jazzy loungey ender built around a swingin' bunch-o-brass (The Lady Is A Vamp), and my personal favorite: Stop. Frighteningly perky and sunny. And brassy - horns out the wazoo. Cheesy claptrack, check. Beeps, check. But good lord I love it. Anyone up for being in a good mood? Then enter Spice World, and please check to make sure you are not allergic to any of the following: Ginger Enjoy.
