This was just unpleasant all around (except for his wife, who has the aura of a drag queen. I stan.).
Also, I don’t believe Robbie is joking. Very sus joke, very sus.

I’m the same, but if it comes on in a club (who am I kidding, came on), I (would) go berserk.

I would never actively play Stop and if it came on, I'd more than likely skip it because it's been so overplayed over the years. I do, however, rediscover how good Too Much is probably twice a year and have it (and any other versions) on repeat for a while.
@-Jay- the chart master, I ADORE your posts!
I love Too Much. Gorgeous stuff.
I see your point and completely understand but I’m the complete opposite: ‘Stop’ is one of my go to Spice Girl tracks, along with ‘Holler’, ‘Never Give Up’ and ‘If You Wanna Have Some Fun’, whereas I don’t actively seek out ‘Too Much’, ‘Two Become One’ or ‘Goodbye’. Yet, if they come on, then the diva in me would be unleashed, and I would belt them out for all it’s worth.
What’s great about their catalogue is that they truly have a mix of 4-5 songs that work so perfectly together and appeal to various people: the party people, the ballad divas and the R&B-lite heads, something for everyone.
The Spice Girls discography may be rather short, but there is no denying the variety it has. They could tackle almost genre going and make it them.

‘Denying’ hehe.
Do we think If U Can't Dance would have worked as a single? Say there was a bit more time between Who Do You Think You Are/Mama's release and Spiceworld the Movie/Spice Up Your Life kicking off.
There's no doubt it's an incredible track. I love the urban, clubby vibe - it goes so hard with those beats and they completely pull it off.
It's also a stunning closer to the album and the live version goes all the way off. But I wonder if it would have done well as a single in its own right? Bearing in mind that, at this time, anything less than a #1 would have been seen as a failure.

I mean, I prefer it to Mama...
Sorry but I'm a Mama truther for life!
I was actually just blasting it yesterday, it remains stunning. Mel B and Emma's little adlib exchange over the choir at the end. <3 Legendary!

If U Can’t Dance is amazing, as a deep cut fan track
Six singles would have been a great look. D
I think the only other song on Spice that could've worked as a single would've been Love Thing.
Mama is cringe but this is definitely the best part of it.
Love Thing, if beefed up production wise, could have easily been a single!
Love Thing was definitely single-worthy (and one of the first ever songs to truly rock my world), but I think it was an either/or between that or Wannabe - as per the debate between them and Virgin at the outset. And obviously they made the right choice.
All five singles were the right choice from their debut and in the right order. If they wanted to push for a sixth, then as mentioned above, ‘Love Thing’ would have made a great choice.
However that would have led to 6 singles of a ten track LP and probably wouldn’t have got the returns they wanted. They were right to move on, but let’s not deny there are so many amazingly strong songs on their debut.
