The best version ever of this song. Why they didn't use this pop version in the album?! It's full of energy

[@giovannicl]

This version was so much better!!!

[@pare5108]

No its not

[@gabeash007]

not at all

[@AlonsoMontero]

This is so good. I'm pretty sure that if they had teamed with Max Martin instead of Darkchild they would have conquered the music world once again.

[@AllenMQuinn]

Yeah it was a mistake teaming with Darkchild.

[@jamesdavidkmoss]

They didn't need any of them

[@gorf64]

Agree. Darkchild killed their career

[@Automatonable]

I liked their 2 lead singles, but yeah the production on the rest of the album (excluding Goodbye) was very poor.

[@MyDecade]

He sucked the life out of this song the way he did with Britney’s “Overprotected” remix 🤷‍♂️ Also “Tell Me Why” could’ve been a bop but it has that trademark Darkchild emptiness

[@allanmhanson]

I had this recorded on a cassette. I still prefer the Forever version because R&B has been my favorite genre since the beginning of my consciousness. Spice Girls + R&B was perfection for me. Mel’s rap is the same as the album version, they didn’t re recorded it.

[@MarcosAntonio-mo8fi]

The only thing in R&B version which I prefer is Mel c/Victoria ad libs in the last chorus

[@omglinux]

Finally getting to hear the "pop version" of 'Right Back At Ya'… And yes, It's amaaaaaaaazing.

That opening harmony!! Love it

[@ianaaron2]

Banging track 😀

[@SkaMasta097]

Elliot Kennedy, the original songwriter/producer of this song called the final album version a "plodding, boring, bottom drawer R&B song". To think we could have gotten a whole album in the Spice/Spiceworld style, but didn't. It would have been much more well received.

[@theoriginalsuzannadee4429]

Where did you hear that? I did b/v’s for Elliot and he never said anything to me

[@SkaMasta097]

The Original Suzanna Dee I read it on Wikipedia and the source was an interview with him.

[@theoriginalsuzannadee4429]

If it was just a written interview then I wouldn’t believe it. Wikipedia isn’t a great source either as anyone can make a page up these days

[@Nocturne22]

The original concept for the third album would have featured covers as well: we know that they produced a cover of "Holiday" by Madonna according to BMI. Geri leaving really was a disaster.

[@lunalove9395]

he didn't lie

[@chepebeto3876]

This is waay fresher and cooler!!

[@viviana2005]

Thank you for sharing! I loved it when they sang it on the Earl's Court concert in 1998 I think. When the album Forever was released I was waiting for this version but they changed it to an RnB one. I liked it too but the Pop version is better :P

[@Gonzalisto]

La canción R&B ya me gustaba pero esta versión pop me fascina. Es excelente, solo me provoca querer escucharla una y otra vez. Es demasiado buena, casi me gusta más que la original.

[@cubpop1]

Ohh the original pop mix!! Odd hearing now has the 'Forever' version is so cemented!!

[@raymondlanglands]

cubpop1 still good tho

[@2010Hershey]

I love this version over the Forever version. This sounds more like them. The R&B sound was nice but some of the songs were just boring. Had Forever sounded like this, things might have ended differently for the Spice Girls. However, I think had they continued, Mel C was going to do the same thing as Geri, as she previously stated that around the Forever era, she didn’t want to be a Spice Girl anymore. I think fans at that point would just given up on them and a fourth album with Victoria, Mel B, and Emma might not have done so well.

[@Marc-zi5cq]

Mel C hated Forever and didn't want to be a Spice Girl anymore. She could not even stand being with the girls in the studio as stated in her book. She asked to record her vocals seperately and made up lies about why she couldnt be with them like international promo. They pretty much knew once Forever came out that she was done with the group, she just did not want to be the villian that breaks up the Spice Girls and didn't want the press so they decided to split quietly in late 2000. She says in her book she very much understood how Geri felt. Let's be honest, Spice Girls pretty much ended in late 1998 to the public anyway.

[@TheAshesArt]

@@Marc-zi5cqFascinating, I need to read her book. And great point about 1998, they were never the same after that. Even when she came back, it was different.

[@imalwaysright]

@@Marc-zi5cqwhy couldn’t she “stand being with the girls”? Something specific or over the Spice Girls thing?

[@Marc-zi5cq]

@@imalwaysright She wrote about it in her book, she let them tell them she was busy with her solo work, even when she wasnt so she could record her vocals seperately. She just didnt want to be in the group anymore but was scared to be the villian that breaks up the group. But really she wanted to leave when Geri did.

[@LEGARETH85]

This version is like an updated Wannabe (for the time) the version on Forever was still nice but easily over looked amongst the rest of the album. The first album did have elements of RnB in songs such as Say You’ll Be There, Love Thing and Last Time Lover. But still very pop almost in the same way as Eternal and All Saints. The second album was pretty much pop with less RnB influences like Denying. But let’s not forget that RnB, over the years has seen fusions of Disco, Pop and Motown which is present on the 2nd album and Disco pops up on their heavily RnB influenced 3rd album Forever. So if you look at their albums as a journey (and one strong member missing) it’s doesn’t seem so strange a transition. However, Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins has worked with Pop acts such as Backstreet Boys, Britney, Cher, N Sync... so had the Spice Girls STILL worked with him plus some of the other Pop producers like Max Martin Stannard and Rowe etc then it might have been a more current version of their Debut SPICE. But I guess we will never know, we are lucky to have the records that we did and also for KZbin

[@thepopfiles4294]

I'm actually surprised how many people are hating the R&B sound of Forever. I don't tend to listen to the first 2 albums much, but the production of Forever was time appropriate. Girls bands like DC were blowing up and R&B pop was becoming a thing so it made sense.

[@Lil_Angry_Bitch]

R&B was big when Wannabe came out. Wannabe was a hit because it was different & people hadn't heard that sound before. The Spice Girls went from breaking boundaries & setting trends to following trends & conforming, which is why Forever was a big flop. The Fans fell in love with the Girl's pop sound & didn't want that R&B style crap Destiny's Child was producing.

[@fajarzakri4936]

Forever didn’t reach the heights of their first two albums though - but it was a solid work in its own right. They sounded tighter as a group (“Oxygen” is probably their best vocal performance as a group after “Too Much”), they had more intricate choreography, and just had a more mature feel about them. It was a necessary step forward.

[@nicorizzo5402]

@@Lil_Angry_Bitch Forever was not a flop, it was still pretty successful though not as much as their first 2. In 1996 when Wannabe came out, R&B was around but not as popular as pop, so that's why their pop sound was successful. Then in 2000 a lot of pop bands at that time were moving in the R&B direction (BSB and NSYNC for example) so the SG were just changing with the times.

[@michalis304]

The only reason Forever wasn't as big as the previous albums is that they had a 2year gap from the music scene. Then out of nowhere they returned with new sound but the world wasn't ready!!

[@nicorizzo5402]

@@michalis304 Yeah I think so too. It wasn't a flop either though, it was still a successful album, just not as huge as their first 2.

[@nicorizzo5402]

I mean it is amazing, but I loved their R&B sound and I think the final version was better than this.

[@fideispears]

I don’t hate the R&B direction they went in for Forever but pop clearly suits them better, would have preferred a pop album with some songs with R&B influences

[@rafaelbbp]

Not having those random adlibs throughout the whole song is already great to me. I can’t stand the fact that they added so many adlibs in all their songs on the Forever album, it just doesn’t sound right. The songs themselves were great and I liked the R&B influence, but the album itself should be more pop, which was their signature style from the beginning, and it was still a popular sound back then. OR, maybe if they released RBAY as a single back in 1999 (with W.O.M.A.N as its b-side of course), as they performed both at the Earls Curt show already, then they could focus 100% on the R&B style (with different producers so the album wouldn’t sound boring). And to finish my Forever rant, I think IYWHSF would definitely be the perfect a-side for Holler, or maybe the second single off the album. If only Forever was like 80% THIS style and 20% darkchild lol

This version has so much more personality and fun. It sounds more 2000s than the other two albums which is good because they’re changing with the times but it still has that classic “spice” sound!

I prefer the adlibs on the Forever album.. but this mix sounded more like the Spice Girls

Who saied miaaau🤔

[@imalwaysright]

Is this official. I prefer this version! Where is this from???

[@serphv6531]

it was leaked online years ago

[@kanat.kulmagambetov]

Not bad! So many years ago - so sad... They could be #1 once again at that time, I think, but they didn't want it.

[@javietnunezparis4684]

Do you think was actually writting when geri was still in the group in 98 and was in real for their 3album with geri? People think this also about voodoo or woman

[@ShayanMo-v8n]

I belive in spicegirls power..superhero..all are cool singers&respectfully for me..i knew whats are...but again what spice saied about new generation..is this about move over again .or you wana hit&geou..case yeou readi tu geo but they ore ready teu fly

[@newkid22]

Way better than the "Forever" album version!

[@nasrulzamaluddin5553]

I love their harmony.. Lead vocal could be mel c/emma/geri Most of female band the lead vocal could be only one

[@Musicblue22]

ehh the r&b version is way better, this version sounds like 5ive/backstreet boys reject and not in a good way

[@ShayanMo-v8n]

Silence is golden..to improve is chance...who is cherchil i dont know nothing..what is pop..guidr me..this is 777 not 47🤔

[@JaiProdz]

This song is too dated. Moving to r&b straight up was the right decision. They've been doing R&B sound since 1996 it was just more obvious on the 2000 album. It's a matter of taste but moving away from pop/camp after 4 years was necessary.

[@imalwaysright]

And yet Forever is their most dated album and forgettable

[@JaiProdz]

to you. @@imalwaysright

[@ShayanMo-v8n]

I think.no i dont think..im sure..but slowly..what it means i dont no

[@michalis304]

well their third album didn't sell as much plus so many things were going on...geri leaving, solo projects, poor promotion....i wonder how a 4th album would sound! Emma said at that time that the girls were discussing about it but..

[@abmacala4879]

stop talking to yourself like a dimwit and get a life!! :-))))) it’s 4 years 😆

@@michalis304 from your choice of words and attitude it seems you’re a frustrated deadbeat :-))) Get out, find a job, a mate and get a life. You stupid troll 😆

The outfits are gorgeous I miss Geri😭😭

[@ShayanMo-v8n]

There will be wwe match between red&blue but blue will not lose...but remember you got succeed only by one back breaker but match didnt end!

[@spiceguy83]

This is how they should project themselves to the world. Their forever image, honestly, did not gel well with the images whc they projected to the world from 1996 to 1998.

[@ShayanMo-v8n]

I cant..

[@r0bbiejaym3s]

The album version is way better

[@Dihag]

Muito melhor que o original

[@btng]

It sounds super dated. I prefer the album version

[@nicorizzo5402]

I might get hate for this, but while I do like this version, the album version was better.

[@fazedordeviuvas4681]

This song is similar to "too much" huh?

[@MarcosAntonio-mo8fi]

Too much is a ballad 🤔

[@simonegreaves9520]

Don't like thus version the meaning don't seem powerful
