Mel C was definitely the power vocals of the group.

Melanie's backflip is truly amazing, she made it so easy!

One of their first TV performances, and shock, a live vocal!

[@stepupuk]

Thanks so much for uploading! Wanted to see this for YEARS! A couple of early performances had live vocals, for some reason it was a rare occurance after that.

[@humbertosuarez4753]

amazing... thanks for your hard work... please more spice live performances

[@skowdish]

And no realtime Autotune Vst... 😅

[@renepimentel7471]

Oh My God, Spice Girls bring me a lot of memories according to my teenage days (I cannot leave it behind)...the 90's truly showed everyone that there's nothing good from the record companies these days...what a pity reality!

[@musicislyfe1672]

Omgggg they sang it liver

I love Scary's voice ! its extra hyper and high pitch yet still on key! Legends

[@reycanlasjr]

I remember seeing this on TV late at night! If I'm not mistaken it was also the first time seeing the Spice Girls. They were so fresh at the time and I remember thinking they were going to be big, but I didn't anticipate them being a global phenomenon! I'm glad I got to witness their meteoric rise during a time when the internet, smartphones and social media didn't really exist.

[@ranb8]

The internet was there. I remember spending nights browsing thru Spice Girls websites in 1996. They’ve had a few.

[@reycanlasjr]

@@ranb8 That’s what I meant by “it didn’t really exist” - yes, technically the internet existed, but it wasn’t mainstream and dial-up was rubbish. Most people consumed Spice Girls content through traditional media such as TV, radio and magazines. However, it’s great that you got to check out their websites - you’re one of the lucky few who had internet at home back then haha

[@raisa_cherry33]

@@reycanlasjrBro,we had internet and even used it to the fullest and i agree dial-up sucks.Though i wasn’t aware of the Spice Girls website back then.

[@reycanlasjr]

@@raisa_cherry33 you were the lucky few if you had internet at home back in the mid-90s! They didn't have a website (from what I remember), but they were everywhere on traditional media. Most artists promoted their music on tv, magazines, radio, etc. It's the main way to get exposure vs nowadays where you can reach millions in an instant via social media. Arguably, it was a lot harder for musicians to reach overnight success without a massive record label backing you, and I'd argue that the Spice Girls were a marketing dream. Their music was infectious, and they were like no other at the time when Indie bands were dominating the charts. Also, they had strong message of empowerment of "Girl Power", which resonated with a lot people. All this to say, they're pretty special as group and that's why people love them!

[@fierriefiles]

I pretty sure *Posh Spice* would have wanted to have atleast a solo line in this song more than anyone else. But I admire her because her energy didn't pale in comparison. She still performed with all her energy and she looks so proud to be a part of the group, with or without a line.

[@pjlav6304]

Unfortunately she was sick that day of recording but was on the phone giving them pointers and her thoughts. True story

[@carlynscolorfulcreations]

The fact that Jason John went from big fun, to managing the spice girls is a huge win. Still wish we got more albums from big fun though, big fun was really doing something different from what everyone else was doing at the time, or ever, and it was really the best. Spice Girls are good too, but big fun was legendary fun!
