NancyJohnson Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 'Stop' by the Spice Girls just came on the radio. I asked my wife if she remembered when they did this at the Brit Awards...I remember All Saints being on just before them and how they were just this uncoordinated mess, then the Spice Girls followed, perfect choreography. Despite my punky/metal roots, I'd be stupid not to recognise this as being a perfect slab of pop. Forget Geri's Union Jack teatowel dress from the previous year, this, my friends, is THE definitive performance. 23 years ago. Blimey. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 Just as an aside, the Spice Girls recorded demos (yes, I know, demos) at Creative Control Studio in Bracknell. They were based in Lightwater, just down the road. I've used that studio several times with different bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, disagree - one of the few recent British acts to make a big deal globally. Yes manufactured, yes well marketed, yes a bit crass. But absolutely did no harm for future generations of British artists in terms of acceptance (post stones/Beatles). I’d also say they had a real part to play in feminist momentum. Anyhow, I thought this particular track was a nice homage to the stax/Motown era and was harmless enough. I didn’t enjoy playing it much, but we played it at a few shows and the audience loved it and danced along. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StickyDBRmf Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I think the music for the band for the movie "Josie and The Pussycats" is fabulous. And the actresses are hotter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seashell Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I seem to remember they claimed to be the first successful all female vocal group. Personally, I preferred The Andrews Sisters, The Shangri Las and En Vogue. Especially En Vogue, who had hits just a couple of years before the Spice Girls but everyone seemed to forget about that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
