[@wonderguy85]

I think Posh is more like a James Bond Villain...

[@thebriandez]

@@wonderguy85no it’s Catwoman. It’s clear with her catsuit and ears…

[@demetriuscaldwell1420]

​@@wonderguy85 Me too. I feel like they are genres of films not actual characters from films. Scary apocalyptic/war, Ginger something like classic/noir, Baby horror, Sporty martial arts, and Posh being spy thriller.

I think here is when you can see why the Spice Girls were so magical and unique. They're not the best vocalists or the best girl group ever (although they are the best selling girl group of all time) but they magic and what set them apart from others is that they were not in a box they played with different genres and styles, wrote ALL THEIR MUSIC, had unique personalities and unique distinguishable voices, harmonies, very low vocals (Mel B) and high vocals (Emma, Mel C), and had passion. And inspired people to just enjoy life.

[@dave93x]

It's easily between the two Mel's in terms of talent. That's why they're so prominent in their songs. Geri and Emma are probably interchangeable like the first two, Posh easily in last.

[@UncleSpicey]

Agree with everything bar questioning that they aren’t the greatest girlband of all time They definitely are✌🏻✌🏻✌🏽✌🏻✌🏻💖💖💖💖💖

[@Marceljusto]

"Too Much" explores the pressures and expectations within a romantic relationship, emphasizing how too much of a good thing can become overwhelming. However, the lyrics can also be interpreted as a reflection of the exhaustion the band members felt during their tours, promotional travels, and the production of their movie. The chorus, repeating "too much of something is bad enough," encapsulates both the difficulties of balancing a relationship and the burden of living under constant pressure. Therefore, "Too Much" is not just a song about love but also about the challenges of coping with excessive demands, making it an anthem that resonated with the youth of the time and reflected the Spice Girls' personal experiences.

[@indiiedreamer]

LOOOOVE THIS SONG! One of my faves ♥ The Mel C solo whern she says "I want a man not a boy who thinks he can" chills everytime!

[@PastaSauce.]

This is one where you can see Sporty’s vocals really holding the song together.

[@blueprint0162]

Facts 🎯

[@ItzMizAsh01]

I always thought Sporty’s vocals were always the strongest of the group in all their songs

[@ysq724y]

& Emma. A lot of their choruses have Emma layered in there (this one is clear)

[@TheArtofBeingReacts]

She's a soprano. ❤☝🏾

[@JasonBr0wn]

I love how they all chose characters that somehow resemble their Spice names. Ginger: Was the hair but also basically sexy seductress Spice, playing an seductress in an old movie. Scary: Playing Mad Max in a scary post apocalyptic world. Baby: Playing a literal child living in a possessed house. Posh: Playing a slick fashionable cat walk model fitted catsuit looking elegant. Sporty: Kicking butt.

[@frandavid8]

Mel C verses and Emma leading the chorus make this song perfect.

[@brynprobert54321]

All three of their UK Xmas number ones were great, but I think this was their best. They were really at the height of their creativity at this point. It just has such a beautiful, sophisticated feel to it, the song and the video.

[@jonathanlandau-litewski7405]

It's great live too, has a really loud bass line.

[@AananB-h5s]

That line Mel C sang, ""I want a man not a boy who thinks he can" literally stuck me deep ever since i heard it in the 90'S till date....!

[@ta81uk]

It wasn’t specific films just nods to genres. I interpret Baby’s as a poltergeist reference. Always loved this song 😊

[@RebeI-Heart]

I just found your channel and I love your reaction. I grew up on Spice Girls and they remind me of happy times. Madonna loved them and had relationship with Geri and Mel C and even gave Mel C connections for her main producer at the time (William Orbit).

[@ec9121]

The "Orchestral Version" of this song is the definition of ear candy.

[@user-wd1ze3uc1c]

One of their best videos! I love how all the girls had their own character which matched their own personalities and style. So so good.

[@MattIsAlwaysRihgt]

Speaking of Victoria and Angelina switching spots. Whenever I played Tomb Raider I got Victoria vibes. I thought she would've been amazing as Lara Croft in the movie adaptations. She was very funny in the Spice Girls movie Spice World. And I definitely think Spice World should be a movie you react to.

[@jassellb]

The video features each Spice Girl in their own individual scene, inspired by their own film fantasies. Melanie Brownis scene is based on Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985). Emma Bunton scene is based on Poltergeist (1982). Melanie Chisholm scene is based upon Year of the Dragon (1985). Geri Halliwell scene is based on Rita Hayworth's performance in Gilda (1946). Victoria Beckham is portraying Catwoman from Batman Returns (1992)

[@JasonMorris-v3u]

Too Much was the main song from Spiceworld the movie. In this video, each girl plays a different character inspired by their own film fantasies. Posh- Batman Returns 1992 , Baby - Poltergeist 1982, Scary - Mad Max Beyond Thunderdrome 1985, Sporty - Year of the Dragon 1985, Ginger - Gilda 1946

[@JasonMorris-v3u]

In the regular version of the video it includes many clips from Spiceworld the movie

[@huntingswan1174]

Such a classy song.

[@jayseepea]

if you want their solo stuff i would say: scary - i want you back (feat. MISSY ELLIOT) sporty - never be the same again (feat. LEFT EYE) baby - maybe posh - not such an innocent girl ginger - look at me

[@FLRSKLVR]

Can we do Out of Your Mind for Posh.

[@jayseepea]

@@FLRSKLVR all her solo stuff is great! I was thinking good songs + entertaining videos and Not Such I think is a better video.. but I bet they would like the y2k of Out of Your Mind too !

[@lee8kinders]

My choice for Victoria was Let your head go. The video shows how she can make fun of herself, great song as well.

[@thedarkbulan]

Scary - Mad Max Baby - Poltergeist Sporty - Enter The Dragon Ginger - Gilda Posh - Batman Begins

[@jadepixie2719]

Ginger scene was actually based on “Gilda” starring another famous red haired 🧑‍🦰 icon Rita Hayworth.

[@popunderrated]

There are MANY Spice Girls solo albums 😎😜

[@GuiIlerm0]

It's funny how there are only 3 Spice girls albums but 20 Spice solo albums!!!

[@popunderrated]

@@GuiIlerm0 Haha. Most of them being Melanie C!

[@Kwame_Kwame]

The Spice Girls have a movie called, "Spice World". Victoria's acting in that film is pretty awesome.

[@jonathanlandau-litewski7405]

My cousin owns Mel Cs chinese top and it's so small in real life. You kinda forget how thin Mel C became.

[@mzzthang3912]

Ahhh the nostalgia! Hearing this makes me want to immediately go watch Spice World 🥰🥰

[@TiariMoore]

The song is from the soundtrack to their movie. Ginger came up with the chorus when she was trying to leave the set and couldn't leave because fans and paparazzi were blocking the gate for her to get out. No fame can be too much but too much fame can be too much how do you feel satisfied if both don't satisfy you is the genesis of the song. 🙂

[@luizribeirooo]

Mel B looks GORGEOUS

[@alexandretirso856]

Spice Girls Forever!!!!

[@wonderguy85]

we need another BRITNEY week, also need a TROY SIVAN week!!

[@SugarMamiii]

Troye Sivan week won the poll after Spice Girls so it will come soon.

[@letsplayaIovegame]

Nobody cares about Britney now. She retired.

[@TheQHBlend1]

One of the best vocal performances, single wise. Fantastic selection. ❤

[@brantleyjbrown]

Scary Spice - Mad Max Baby Spice - Poltergeist Ginger Spice - Casablanca Sporty Spice - Kung Fu Posh Spice - Catwoman

[@Adel_silnce]

Spice girls viva for ever

[@christopherwalsh3945]

One of my favorite tracks

[@notyouraveragebear9326]

“Just another Bear” is a version of my name I was gonna go with but it made me sound less unique and more average. Hence the change 😂 The original version of this video was the same thing but they added clips from their movie “Spice World” that came out at the time. I’m glad you chose this version because the Spice World clips would have made you confused I think.

[@peterjohn5544]

Damn, you really need a GIRLS ALOUD week. The most inventive and boundary pushing girl group ever. The production, the song structures and their unmistakable voices are an amazing combo.

[@aquablushgirl]

Yep they all had solo careers

[@ignaciocastellanos4649]

They should do a top 5 of solo hits by each of the Spice Girls, thanks for the content you do 😉

[@SuzyAida]

Pop music is so much fun!!!!! ❤

[@ZACKBLACK-tu9ph]

TO THIS DAY MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME IT HELPED GET THREW THE DEPRESSION I WAS FEELING AND FOR THAT I'M FOREVER GREATFUL

[@Hockedipockedi]

This makes me wanna watch the Spice Girls movie! 🍿 😃

[@lee8kinders]

I was only thinking last week, I would choose a Spice Girls week, but one where each day is one of their solo songs. Look at me - Geri I want you back - Mel B Maybe - Emma Let your head go - Victoria I turn to you - Mel C

[@jg-im4px]

I love how fair these guys are. Spice girls days on the UK and Ireland were life changing growing up

[@tahuaroa]

their 2nd consecutive Christmas #1 single in the U.K. - mv directed by the great Howard Greenhalgh

[@danventuri]

you guys need to check the love performances with live vocals. they kill it!

[@stranr06]

Mel C as Sporty Spice kicks ass both vocally and looks great in the video

[@thisispebe]

i'm not sure if it's just me, but it feel like they sing about sex in this one. especially victoria singing 'something fine, build to last, slipped up there, i guess we're running out of time too fast' 😂

[@tal3265]

Mel B IS SO beautiful😍😍

[@simonman3042]

Baby Spice - Poltergeist!

[@sarablack2547]

I love sporty spice/mel c solo singles Baby when your gone ft bryan adams Never be the same again ft lisa left eye lopez(rip) I turn to you(a dance tune)

[@SimpleWorld08]

Guy in the red shirt is such a cutie. Actually, both are cuties. MUY BONITOS!

[@Nerrian]

There's a lyric from this song, as sung by Sporty Spice, that I quote to this day when the situation so requires: "What part of NO don't you understand?"

[@cricriylascuarentahermanas728]

Oh damm! I have forgotten how much I used to like this song😂😂😂

[@soulbeliever02]

I miss the 90’s!

[@Xerrife]

Victoria may be wearing a catsuit but it was always clear to me that her scene is a reference to James Bond movies from the 60s and 70s. The whole set with the rocket, the scientists, the "minions" and explosions scream 0007. She is definitely a bond girl, not catwoman.

[@TatteredTootsy]

there's an orchestral version of this song that is also lovely

[@FaithLikeNoOther]

Yes. It is in fact Sneaky Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

[@arielwinns]

You guys! theres a video from Spice Gilrs "spice up your life" to me their best visual work yet

[@ramiamdouni7722]

It’s time for a Little Mix week !

[@JasonMorris-v3u]

You should watch the other version by the way! With the movie clips!

[@o_nazim]

The message here was inspired by Geri. At the time, they were recording the album while filming the Spiceworld movie at the same time. They were being consumed and overwhelmed with that and being booked for shows, appearances, advertisements, and barely had a break in between.

[@thisispebe]

it's the alternative video, cause they left the spice girls the movie scenes out. after 2 become 2 this is my fav spice girls song. you should check out holler as well. this was from their 3rd album, after ginger left. but they only released 3 songs of that album.

[@ticko86]

Awww la nostalgia. 🇨🇷🤙🏻

[@billyjohn7846]

It’s ALTERNATIVE because the actual video includes clips for their movie 🎥

[@bastianfarfan9171]

Las amo ❤

[@_aaronron]

the budget for this music video?? especially back then? they were megastars by this point!! side note: holler and goodbye better be in this list or else!!!!! lol

[@lmontreze]

Do holler next

[@Tum2185]

I think it's about finding balance in life. The last verses wrote "Too much of nothing, so why don't we give it a try. Too much of something, you're gonna be living a lie"

[@XanArt21]

Regular version had their movie (Spiceworld) clips forced inbetween.

[@cricriylascuarentahermanas728]

Worst movie ever!

[@danielesteve8359]

Don't lose your time, dude.

[@nanciglitterati4468]

It was in reference to the Spice Girls movie 😭

[@flor0538]

Babyspice is poltergeist

[@richhhhhh4720]

I think posh was doing mission impossible- sure there is an mtv behind the scenes

[@btchnotme1587]

This is the alternative version because the original video version features scenes from the “Spice World” movie intercut with the video.

[@MaxHeredia]

Came for the reaction, will stay for the witty guys , and also for the sexy dudes. Greets from Mexico #MaxHeredia

[@runningmate08]

PLS INCLUDE HOLLER BY THE SPICE GIRLS

[@hola-munecas]

You’ve never seen Posh Spice act in anything????? Um…. SPICE WORLD 🌍!!!!!!!!!!! 😂❤ Btw, you chose the right version, they released a version with clips from the movie and while the editing was done in a cool way I HATED that version!

[@That_guy_antony_ware]

Why does Mike always say he knows nothing, never heard anything 😂. Take a minute to review and take it in. You definitely know Catwoman! Lol just wait before you say you’ve never …. Fill in the blank.

[@Dion_Mustard]

Spice Girls became very popular during my childhood. However, I never considered them good singers. Good entertainers, maybe..but singers ..no ..with the exception of Baby Spice who had a sweet voice. How on earth "Posh-Spice" got to be in the band is beyond me. She had no personality and couldn't sing a note in tune, Geri was the same , and yet they became a very successful group.not through talent, but luck (and possibly fate?) . Girl power?
