Greatest Hits - Spice Girls

Well, I'll be revealing my age by saying that I remember the Spice Girls when they first came out. They oozed girl power and were a very influential band however a lot of their songs were superficial, but saying that, they were catchy tunes which you couldn't help moving your feet to. They were something fresh and new as was their message of "Girl Power". They affected many of my generation to go out their and get on with life, enjoy it. Anyhow, the question that must be asked is how do they stand up now so many years later? I can only say that their new single "Headlines" (which is included in this compilation) was a disappoinment, but it was for ...  Read the complete review

I would like to be able to claim that this was bought by some dotty old Aunt for me as a Christmas present but that would be wishful thinking, instead I must confess I saw the track list and thought this would be a good purchase. In my defence I did only pay £4.99 for it. The five girl band have just about finished the "lets cash in again" world tour which should generate enough money to give Scary a new even bigger chest, Geri either liposuction or fat injections dependant on her current fad and Posh a new body over haul in an attempt to keep Becks away from the Holywood bimbos. This album has all their hits, on the downside that ...  Read the complete review

I don't tend to buy CD albums which consist of tracks from just one artist. Now I think about it, I can't remember the last time I bought a compilation album either (I really need to sort out my CD collection!). My Dad has asked me if there were any CDs I would like for Christmas, but I answered him with a straight forward 'no'. Although, this was a bit of a fib. I didn't want to ask for anything that Christmas, everything was to be a surprise! Deep down though, I was hoping for one album. This was a special album, consisting of both old and new tracks, a CD full of memories good and bad. If I wanted any album that year, it was to be the all-new Spice Girls Greatest Hits ...  Read the complete review

The Spice Girls are probably up there with the likes of Elvis, Madonna, The Beatles and good old Sir Cliff to name a few. Why you ask? Well regardless of whether you love or hate them their impact on the music scene was massive throughout the late 90s their slogan 'Girl power' and their catchy, pop tunes dominated charts across the world. The impact this one band seemed to have on millions of people was huge, I myself first heard about them when the video to debut hit 'Wannabe' was played on The Box 10 times in the space of an hour. Melanie C, Emma Bunton Melanie B and of course Victoria Beckham soldiered on after the departure of Geri Halliwell in 1998 though ...  Read the complete review

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Spice Girls - Greatest Hits ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I was a teenager when the Spice Girls first hit the scene and as you can imagine they formed a large part of the music I listened to. Who could miss the feisty, in your face, five piece with their dramatic and different looks and personalities. Whether it was manufactured or not the Spice Girls did revolutionise the music industry. I already know most of the songs on the album, but gave the Greatest Hits several listens before delving into this review. I can't stop listening to it - it is on random repeat - hope you like it. ~~~~~~~~~~ The ...  Read the complete review
