Love that they showed the Noels House Party performance of " Who Do You Think You Are" where Geri misses her cue completely.
Not a dig at the girls, more at the BBC, but surprised watching how many of these performances that they didn’t sing live!
I think of lot of the shows in the 90s didnt bother with live performances and relied on miming especially top of the pops out of your mind is an grade A banger
That was such a nostalgia trip. Had a mate round tonight and we both shared our experiences of spice mania whilst quaffing down a fair amount of vodka. Just stuck on Spice and grooving now
That was such a great watch! I definitely wasn't expecting to see the performance from the Smash Hits Party or Live and Kicking! Can ITV and Channel 4 now do the same?
That was great to watch! I had no idea Love Thing was considered for the second single, it's funny how it went from being considered for both first and second single to not being a single at all.
That is true, but by the late 90s it was becoming more common to sing live. I do remember being annoyed that they almost always mimed. I don't think they sang live on UK TV at all until Stop on TOTP.
Neither did I and it looks like new articles are coming up now about it. How odd. https://www.mylondon.news/news/celebs/spice-girls-bbc-emma-buntons-21746256
I was hoping the 12” Unlimited Groove mix of Love Thing would be the version used on the SpiceWorld tour, but eh, this is fine too I guess.
I was amazed Headlines got in there, I genuinely expected Holler to be the last performance. Always feel Headlines deserves some more airplay as its a genuinely beautiful track that gets looked down upon because it missed the Top ten and was released instead of an upbeat song. #justiceforheadlines
Pros: The footage in HD. Great to watch! Good idea and lovely tribute from BBC. Cons: The comments and some cuts on the performances. WDYTYA/Mama at TOTP or Comic Relief would have been better choices.
I’ve always found it so strange how they were (mostly) wearing their 2 Become 1 outfits for that Say You’ll Be There performance.
