Finally: I am a doctor, how much for spice girls week 2? also we need a deep dive into viva forever, Joe has it on the nose, i just want to know what he thinks more!!!

[@organisedchaosxo]

I think we all knew who Mike's favourite was when he called her sexy spice in Monday's video 😂

[@jayseepea]

Baby Spice takes the hat from the homeless guy, and then holds it out whilst they sing to the rich people and they don’t give them any money, so she gives the hat back to the man - maybe they were trying to get money for the homeless cos Scary kisses one of them as well at the start

[@michelski3528]

please do a week 2!!! love the Spice Girls: #1 Spice up your life #2 Goodbye #3 Too Much #4 Holler #5 Mama

[@adrian8green]

yessssssssss

[@rogueryder3285]

Scary instantly stole my heart in this song

[@DeeDiamond2981]

She did. I had a girl crush on her...fr fr

[@miabreakingdownwith1476]

@@DeeDiamond2981 Me too, I loved her late arrival on the stairs choreography!!! She was more a role model to me specially knowing what she's go trough next in her life...

[@latebirdlouie]

Fun fact: Because the video required to be taken in one shoot, the group rehearsed the routine several times through the night, while a guy strapped up to a steadycam ran around after them. Altogether, the music video cost up to £130,000 with minimalistic costs for costumes such as Geri's outfit costing £20.

[@katarzynaukasiak3927]

We need more Spice Girls !!!

[@phitantran]

Joe's dancing at 2:23 is adorable 🤣❤️

[@BluHimalayas]

The story of the video is that this is actually what they used to do (minus stealing homeless guys clothes) they used to BARGE into places making noise and hyping each other up and singing acapella to anyone in their way and then barge into record execs offices and meetings and hop on the table and FORCE them to listen to them (and many record execs rejected them including Simon Cowell who regret it afterwards). They were each others hype men and had so much confidence that it intimidated people. So this video represents all that.

[@deed2157]

Then why did I read a comment that they became a group bec they were looking for girls to start a group and they auditioned

[@SeArquiteteMininu]

​@@deed2157bote are true. Four of them answered an ad and were put together to form a group. There was a fifth girl, but it didn't work and she was replaced by Emma (Baby Spice). Eventually they sacked the group that formed them and went on their own, making chaos in every building the set foot on to be heard and signed.

[@deed2157]

@@SeArquiteteMininu Ok. Got it

[@Gary-Spice]

It was an honour to have my week granted. I loved every reaction. I wish you told us how you felt about the songs. Hopefully you tell us soon what your rankings are. My name is actually Gary, but coincidentally my favourite Spice Girls are Geri and Mel B so it works too haha. Thank you.

[@zivo24]

Mel B. (Scary) carried that group. She was, BY FAR, the best vocalist.

[@Jerome.Jerome]

She fine as hell too damn

[@okamiartifex8813]

Mel c for me then baby spice

[@miabreakingdownwith1476]

Mel C too first then my favorite Mel B, I agree tho that Baby Spice had a sweet voice

[@Honeycomblife]

Mel C but together they all sounded amazing blended backgrounds and everything

[@musicislife.2602]

Lol. This is the first time I read someone said Mel B had the best voice. Im sorry but objectively, it's always Mel C serving in the vocal department.

[@Jerome.Jerome]

Not gonna lie I never cared too much about them cos they gave manufactured vibes but this week made me see them in a new light. They actually have talent and made some great songs.

[@MatgoStyles]

They have such a fantastic story. They were put together as a manufactured group but decided they were better than that and ran away from their management. Literally, in the middle of the night, packed up their stuff and left.

[@35americas2]

They weren't manufactured at all. They are the epitome of being unapologetically you and embracing every personality & growing organically as a team with a joint vision. It was an add in stage magazine that brought them together but once they knew what they had they did a bunk and took control of their own destiny in a dramatic getaway & stealing their demo tapes by hiding it in their underwear. They then went onto write their own songs with producers they met on their first ever showcase and stormed into record labels busting out in song to everyone. The hype was real and they did that!

[@thecaylanicole]

8:21 canadians say zed. i had to train myself to stop saying it when i moved to the states because i'd get weird looks lol

[@robbierogersfan3724]

What a shame you didn’t get to react to Too Much which is my favorite video from them

[@XanArt21]

Stunning video! ❤

[@nightfrost1891]

yeah, it's one of my faves too

[@GalaxyGirl777]

This really is a great pop song, it can’t be denied. Fun week!

[@AmaanStorm]

Now we need a Spice Girls week TWO! *Stop *Goodbye *Holler *Spice Up Your Life *Too Much

[@Exemi]

Fun fact: there's only ONE cut, at 2:00 of this reaction video, when Mel B walks in front of a black background. Right there.

[@peaceisnature]

I'm a 43 year old guy from England. When this came out, I was hooked. I recorded it from the tv onto a vhs cassette and played the sh*t out of it!

[@ryanvelez6762]

🥳🥳♥️

[@s.leochapman417]

As an Irelander, I can confirm that we do say "zed" 😁😁 - Interestingly, in the track "Never Ever", from British-based group All Saints (also very popular in Europe in the late 90's), they say both "from A to zee" and "from A to zed" in the lyrics. All Saints were "the thinking man's Spice Girls", if you will, lol.

[@rainyd4293]

Mike and Joe’s reaction to all Spice Girls videos is such a vibe 😂

[@FionaMu]

I only realised in my 20's how sexual some of the lyrics were and wondered how my parents let me listen to songs like that when I was 7/8, lol.

[@Nevolet]

As a kid i thought you better get with my friends meant, if you want to be togheter with me you need to sleep with my friends first....

[@andrewdonaghy1248]

Best mustache on the Internet

[@soulbeliever02]

To me they took the guy’s hat and started singing to the rich people in an attempt to get the guy some money. They give the hat back btw.

[@alexvespertine]

Thanks for this, I love all the Spice Girls, their voices are all different and they're very beautiful, but my rank is like this: 1 Posh Spice 2 Scary Spice 3 Ginger Spice 4 Baby Spice 5 Sporty Spice

[@bastianfarfan9171]

More Spice Girls!!!!!!!!!!🎉

[@lueddusalvattore]

The Spice Girls was waiting the Royal family arrive ( Lady Dy and his sons ) . Baby spice took homeless’s cap to get a tip from ppl around the hotel because them was singing on street

[@lueddusalvattore]

ZigaZig ahh …It was the nickname the girls gave to one of the musicians they shared a studio with. "There was a musician from the 80s who had the habit of using the space they shared to go to the bathroom and smoke a cigarette, so the whole team started calling him ZigaZig ahh

[@gigi-ij1hk]

OMG Posh literally got a FOUR-WORD solo ("And as for me...") 🤣

[@FernandoGutierrez-uf9ld]

That was Mel b

[@AananB-h5s]

omg pls do a week #2 for spice girls!! 💗

[@DeeDiamond2981]

The chorus and choreography would be a tik tok trend.. back in the day❤❤

[@TJ-1234]

Hi guys!! I think I've been subsribed for a while but somehow lost track of y'all but the last couple days I've been binging your videos again and it's been so fun hearing all these songs I havent heard in a while but also hearing and seeing your reactions! Keep 'em coming and here's my list of a (in my opinion) underrated singer, especially in the US, from the 90's/00's who rarely gets mentioned in throwbacks or playlists from that time! She was REALLY popular here in Europe though! I'm talking about......*drumroll* ......ANASTACIA 5. One day in your life 4.Paid my dues 3.Left outside alone 2. Sick and tired 1. I'm outta love

[@_aaronron]

I think these guys would LOVE HOLLER‼️‼️‼️ Also i want MAMA and GOODBYE😭😭 Please do more😭

[@ElfDraven]

Great top 5. Please do more.

[@riggamorrischan]

They did posh dirty in this track she had no lines in either of the verses!

[@AshLee92490]

I think she was out of town when they wrote the song if I'm not mistaken, so she ended up not getting any solo lines...

[@riggamorrischan]

@@AshLee92490 ohh I didn’t know, that explains things lol

[@SeArquiteteMininu]

Yeah, ​@@AshLee92490! She was at a wedding, cowriting the song on the cell phone and she resents it to this day! 😅

[@otromambo6431]

She was in the bathroom while the song was recorded

[@stepupuk]

She was at a wedding when they wrote and recorded it (and apparently played it down the phone to her!). Her vocals aren't on the original demo. I believe her vocals were added to the final mix.

[@TrevorPalmatiershow]

Mel B said in an interview that zigazig ah was code for sex. Now you know. It's exactly what you thought.

[@deed2157]

I'm hearing different explainations bec a cowriter said it wasnt

[@Marjol]

And it being the mid 90's Bill Clinton comes to mind and his use of cigars. Maybe far fetched but it was always in the back of my mind.

[@colby_247]

In the article: Scary Spice replied, "It's a group secret. But you can make of it what you want." "I made up that word, and I can't tell you," added Mel B. "If I do, I will have to kill you, and we don't want to do that. We love you both."

[@thegarlicknotz7163]

Of course Scary Spice is Mike's favorite 🤭😂

[@Sultans-World]

This week was amazing.

[@Lisettestordeur]

Love this mv, watched it so many times as a kid - loved how it was shot like one continuous take. And also, Irelanders say zed. 💤 💚

[@tooforsixate]

This song is such a mood. You can't help but to just jam along.

[@Lubbylove89]

There's so many more great songs a videos. Ya'll have to do a weak 2!! You guys would love the song Holler.

[@luisheredia845]

Need a SPICE GIRLS week 2!! SPICE GIRLS FOREVER ❤

[@XanArt21]

The whole video is full with Wannabees. Geri said herself that she was the biggest Wannabe of them all... This song is a bit sexual (zig a zag ah) and the b-side of this single was called 'Bumper to Bumper'. Come on boys do 'Spice Up Your Life' it has an amazing Blade Runner video.

[@jankaveron]

For anyone old enough to remember (Around the same time as this song actually) America did come up with a Power Rangers enemy called Lord Zedd (Not Lord Zeeeee) and his Iconic Z Staff, hahahaha

[@35americas2]

They used the hat to try busk for the homeless guy, c'mon dudes! Lol

[@FireballFever]

Spice Girls - "Who Do You Think You Are", and "Mama", and "Spice Up Your Life". Also, the Spice Girls movie, "Spice World". 😀😁🤩

[@__RYN__]

2:35 I have the biggest crush on Sporty Spice like unhealthy

[@vic_barros.delben]

Christina Aguilera week 2 Also react to Too Much of Spice Girls

[@mailjimmygalaxy]

The hotel in the video was derelict at time of filming. This area was very run down and the hotel did not reopen until mid 2000s.

[@FLRSKLVR]

I think the whole idea of the video is that they're just crashing a posh people's party

[@meghangerhart643]

Canadians say Zee and Zed. We’ve got the British and the American influences. I’m from Alberta and I was taught to say Zed in school (though I was in French immersion so I don’t know what’s it like in entirely English schools…I think Zed is the teaching standard in Canada). However, in places closer to the States, like places in Ontario, they may say Zee. I think Zee is still considered a very American pronunciation in Canada in general, though. There, more than you ever wanted to know on this subject. 😂 Also, pretty sure, looking back on it, that loving both the Spice Girls and the Backstreet Boys as a young girl probably helped along my pansexuality. 😅

[@Muffinlover217]

You guys need to react to Trafik by Käärijä and Joost Klein 🤩!! It’s their new collab song and it’s everything you’d expect from these two 💚💙

[@Simon-zb4bg]

You need to do the spice girls at the Olympics.

[@meghangerhart643]

I REALLY have to catch a livestream!

[@c.t.4837]

They impressively did this in one take! And I remember Mel B’s nipples caused a stir at this time

[@AtlantisTheLostEmpire]

There's actually at least one edit in it if you know where to look.

[@bigbadjoe2823]

Zaga-zig-ah means sex, but the spice girls will never tell!

[@sarablack2547]

You should have let the video finish. The last shot they put their names(not spice names) up on screen. As a way to get their names out since thus was their first song.

[@stepupuk]

Fun Fact... it wasn't shot in one continuous take! There is a join. Hint... watch closely the bit just before the dance routine on the stairs... you'll see Victoria in the background run behind Mel B and the pillar twice ;-)

[@tal3265]

Scary Spice is the best😍😍😍😍

[@jackgallagher4679]

Please do an ALL SAINTS week! They are also from the UK and there was abit of a rival going on between both groups (spice girls) in the 90s.. 1. Never Ever 2. pure shores 3. Black Coffee 4. I know where it’s at 5. This is a war

[@xmn12380]

We either need a second Spice week, or a one off for "Goodbye." Also, this video is just four juvenile delinquents and their red-headed older friend causing all kind of trouble in London.

lol… I like you guys too much to give you shit for “zee” 🤣 Still don’t know how we ended up with the faucet/tap difference.. and US kept the original word apparently!

[@deed2157]

People have said zig a zag ah is referring to something sexual but Ive read a cowriter of the song said it wasnt. They shared a studio space with an 80s pop guy who didn't like them bec he felt they were on his turf in terms.of music of boy and girl bands. They called him "sh*t and cigars" bec he had a habit of using the bathroom and smoking a cigar in the shared khazi. So they were using the statement against sexist figures in the music industry.

[@SeArquiteteMininu]

Melanie C (Sporty Spice) confirmed in her autobiography that it is, indeed, sex.

[@colettepovey5071]

South Africans do say zed.

[@antonioyazzie4615]

You should react to the Spice Girls at the London Olympics 🎉❤

[@juwandube8156]

I think for the video they just stormed this place, because everyone around them is looking at them and the camera guy like ??. Like at the beginning the guy getting out of the car looks at the camera like 3 times bc he’s like why’re you filming me. Same thing when they go in and everyone’s like what’re you guys doing. I think that place is a place where people can go and just be themselves and do whatever cuz you got a young guy with an older woman and a guy in girls clothing and the other way around.

[@BluHimalayas]

Zig-A-Zig-Ah initially didn't have a clear meaning cos the song is about love and respecting her friends first in order to be her guy, but afterwards Mel B said it was about sex. So maybe it's more like the verses and chorus is what they say to the guy and then the rap parts are her telling her friends she's horny but doesn't wanna make it obvious to guys to not seem easy.

[@deed2157]

I heard differently. The cowriters of the song said it was against sexist figureheads in the music industry

[@BluHimalayas]
