Spice Girls raised me! Miss the 90's!

Oh wow. This is such a trip down memory lane. They were HUUUUGE in the 90s they played them nonstop.

Their music was such a mood during my teenage years. Ah, their songs are timeless.

Their nicknames came from a British journalist who was writing an article about them. He didn’t know their names so just came up with the spice names which they took and rolled with it. They got together after they all saw an advert in a newspaper looking for a girlband.

I screamed. This is also my favorite Spice Girls song.

Idk why but Mike calling Mel B "Sexy Spice" made my day haha. She's Sexy Spice in my heart from now on

Giving the side eye to the name Scary Spice is why I love you guys!!

The American sound isn’t actually an American sound - it’s about how you form your vowels, and it’s much easier to sing using those vowel sounds than it is to sing with the vowel sounds made in most British accents.

Their nicknames originated from the British music show Top Of The Pops. The show was accompanied by a TOTP music magazine, and the editor at the time coined the names based on what he thought they suited. Posh was always the one who was well spoken and always wore glam looking clothes. Sporty Spice because she always wore sports wear. Baby because she was the youngest of the bunch. Ginger because.... well.... And Scary because she was outspoken and loud!

I'm so glad Spice Girls got a week I loved them as a kid. I only learned about them after Geri (Ginger) left the group so I def missed out but I was a huge fan from 98-2001. I even begged my dad to buy their dolls lol. 🤣

Joe's "seems a little you know..." sent me lmaoooooo

Mike would totally pick Scary Spice nowadays. 😊

Always loved Mel B and growing up she was one of my role models. Her and Brandy were my world in the 90s.

My 90s teen heart is happy. I loved Mel B so much.❤❤❤❤

my girls!!! The spice girls was LOVED!! from the suburbs to the hood 😂🙌🏾. Yall remember the lollipops?

Spice Girls week the same week as my birthday?? Thank you ✨🕺🏾✨

SPICE GIRLS FOREVER

Victoria Adams (now: Beckham). 😇

David Beckham saw this video in a pub, and said that he was going to marry the one in the black catsuit. David and Victoria just celebrated 25 years of marriage this month! Posh n Becks❤Viva Forever!❤

Yayyy to Spice Girls week!!! I was born in ‘98 and my aunts loved Spice Girls. This song specifically was how I communicated with one of my aunts that I wanted to spend the night at her house.

0:42 Earth Wind & Fire sample from their song, Saturday Nite.

I was absolutely obsessed with the Spice Girls when i was younger. I had this album on cassette, the Spice Girls movie, the music videos on vhs, and a Scary Spice barbie. I listened to that cassette on repeat.

One thing that made them stick out to other group artists is they wrote all their own lyrics.

Spice Gilrs is 90's pure juice. I just love they

9:30 Oh yeah, I too would love to be overpaid. 😂 As a young girl in the 90s, Spice Girls and “girl power” was such a big thing, what a trip down memory lane.

I found this channel now because I loveeeee the spice girls. Thank you for reacting to them. I subbed.

This song was MY JAM when I was a kid!!!

Highkick Katrina(Mel C) is always singin' her saprano bum off!!!❤🎶🎶🎶

My favorite Spice Girls song! Yes! 💖

A spice girls week?! Omg please do “too much” by them

Chris de Burgh ( Lady in Red) sounds soooo British when he sings the word ‘ Dance ‘

This is probably my favorite song from them. I also love Spice up your life but more for the video than the song itself. Back in the days my favorite was Posh but now I think is Emma, the baby spice.

omg so excited for this week! cant wait for the rest of this week!!

You should check out the Spice World movie as a special reaction 😆 it was the best thing ever!

Awwhh yess I'm so happy we getting a Spice Girls week! 🔥

one of the best pop songs to this date. it literally takes me back to my childhood.

I can't wait for the rest of the week.

This would have been my number 1 so can’t wait to see where this goes

Omgggg my childhood 😍😍😍😍 Scary Spice was my spirit animal #GirlPower they also came out before Austin Powers

This is my favorite week by far! Amazing!

SPICE GIRLS MOVIE THUMBS UP 👍

Amazing song

screamed when i seen this, my fav spice girl song

the nicknames were actually given to them by a magazine article about them early in their career - and the group just decided to adopt the names

Ommgggg best week ever!

"2 Become 1", reaction please!!!!!!!🤩🤩🤩

Can we get a real fan on your show to help you understand the history? Happy to educate you. This is a great series! Xoxo

Thank you for this! I am so happy!

Iconic video 😍 SPICE GIRLS FOREVER

The actor in the video is Tony Ward.. who gained fame as Madonna's boyfriend who also starred in Justify My Love , Erotica and Cherish.

I was wondering about the nicknames also a while ago, but Melanie C said in an interview with Mayim Bialik that in the UK the ginger people are heabily bullied, so someone like Geri, who was very in-your-face, was like "power to the gingers" and that meant something huge for them over there. So, while not a personality, the nickname had some deeper meaning anyway.

This is was IT back in '96. I remember it like it was yesterday. Good times.

The first of your non-ESC weeks I have to watch! Love this song.

YES!!!!!FINALLY!!!!!!!🎊 🎉‼️🎊🥰🥰 I don’t know if it’s my list or not but I did have “Say you’ll be there” as #5. I’ll know tomorrow if this is my list depending on the song. The origins of their nicknames came from a small British magazine that named them in a cheeky sort of way shortly after their 1st 2 singles premiered. The Spice Girls took what was meant to be a lazy dig and RAN with it. Basically took the power back like true “Girl Power!” So scary MAY have been a bit of a 90s dig at the only black woman in the group but Mel B took that and made it her own. “Scary” is because of how wild and loud and openly honest she was. That can scare some men and intimate them how brazen her personality was. Then add her big in your face hair along with it which was amazing for us black folks back then because she wasn’t afraid to wear her natural fro instead of wigs and lace fronts. “Ginger” is the easiest to understand because of red but she was also known as “SEXY” spice. Because of her big boobs, hot pants, and I guess red is the sexiest color, she played the most vixen type role visually. “Baby” was every little boy and girls favorite and is genius because it’s the easiest to promote to their main fanbase of 4-12 year olds. She’s a Barbie doll. She’s blonde blue eyed and innocent with mini dresses and platforms. She was also the youngest member and acted like it personality wise. You have to understand the Spice Girls is pure CAMP in the most extremely purposeful way. They knew what they were doing and they did it well.

Been from the north of England the fact that you picked up on us saying c*unt as opposed to couldn't is crazy. I feel seen lol

An impressive amount of time spent analysing the meaning of the individual Spice names.

YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

❤Vibes Vibes Vibes ❤

I mean they were everything as a kid lol. This brings back so many memories. Great idea to react to them!

We def need spice girls week 2. Some other good songs they got, Like Mama, Too Much, Goodbye, Holla, Headlines, Spice up your life

My girls ❤

Living my best 🌈 life in 1st grade when this came out 😆

best song by far

I love Spice Girls❤ they were huge in Poland.

Omg my childhood spice girls are huge still… they can do stadiums if they want they broke the all time records on their last stadium tour in the uk. Vegas is offering the biggest contract ever to do a residency there or tour

Had the biggest crush on baby spice

13:08 Victoria's previous last name was Adams

Their Spice names were given by a lazy reporter who couldn't be bothered to remember their names for a teen pop magazine. He just came up with their names based on their appearance, but then later the names came to be their personas. The Spice Girls came to be by answering an ad for a girl group, they were stifled by their management, took some industry contacts, ran away and started pitching themselves as Spice to execs until Simon Fuller signed them on. In the industry they were known as "those spice girls" and the name "spice girls" stuck.

Mike and joe who is your favorite spice girl

Sporty spice had the best vocals

Take that next

Ginger was more of the Leading Lady in the clique and spokeswoman of the five piece. She inspired a lot of confidence and femininity on all their behalfs

Spiceeeee Girllssss! Originally there was a rap part in this song as well... but it was ditched before it was recorded. They did the rap during the 'Mama' videoshoot (behind the scenes). Instead they went for the harmonica part. Judd Lander who did the harmonica also did the harmonica on Karma Chameleon (Culture Club). It is Scary Spice because Mel B is very intense and loud. She loves the name. Baby is the youngest, a real mama's girl, so yeah... Sporty is still a very healthy and sporty woman. She DJ's and has the most solo albums. Ginger is a fake, her hair I mean 😂... she is more alburn than red. Posh is just very posh, but actually has a pretty naughty dry sense of humor.

They got their names from a lazy journalist who couldn't be bothered to remember them. He just gave them those nicknames, and they decided to own it and take back those names.

Y’all need to do Naked by the Spice Girls!

I don't think they're putting on accents paticularly. Maybe a bit on some of the vowel sounds.

But ginger is the only one that actually is a spice.

I wanna dedicate this song for you guys Emma Bunton - WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG

Never been a huge dedicated Spice girls fan, but I like most of their music, and I had Melanie Cs first two solo albums, cause she is my favorite if I have to pick. The first Spice girls related songs I heard was Wannabe and Melanie Cs duet with Bryan Adams.

my second favourite spice girls video. great though

Grade school memories

YAAAAAAS

God the 90s was golden

Still the biggest selling girl group in the world. I love them Im Sporty Spice.

The guy was one of madonna's long time boyfriends and was in a few of her videos as well.

Remember Spice World 🇬🇧

At school in my class we had a thing where you could bring in a vhs for downtime and everyone had to watch it. My friend would tape this from tv and bring it in. Every. single. week. If I was able to tape from tv and bring one in, it'd be a fucking guns n roses song LMAO. I loved Spice Girls but at that time they were tiring on the 'girl power'.

❤❤❤❤

If you wanna see another good girl group, you should take a look at the german band "No Angels". 👍 They also made many good songs. It's actually worth listening to (I think you're gonna like some songs).

I think Mike might've been confusing The Spice Girls with TLC? No Sexy Spice, but they had the CrazySexyCool album that played off their personalities.

Victoria Adams-posh Geri haliwell-ginger Melanie brown-scary Emma bunton-baby Melanie chisom-sporty Sporty had the most solo success. Please do mel c i turn to you or never be the same again ft lisa left eye lopez.

WAIT Mike Myers isn't British. I'm shocked. Also Spice Girls are amazing. Big part of my childhood and at 36 I still listen to them regularly.

American accent? They have a very British accent even in this song. Also you should listen to their albums and interviews, they all sound really British!

Yea I’ve always felt there was something, let’s say “off”, about Scary Spice’s name. Baby Spice’s name too. Those two names never set right with me, but for two different reasons. Nice to see two men call out the name baby spice. Nice to see two wm call out the name scary spice. ♥️

Bring SpiceGirls back

Champagne supernover? You think we thought they were American? No sirs, get a grip. Which is an an American expression of the time.

Most British pop singers use an American accent. It's more common than not

Thanks good finally 🎉and if u dont paused start 2 became 1 video 😅

FINALLYYYYY How y'all don hear the British accent when they sing... thats wild. Mel C is the Sporty spice because the way she dresses and she was an athlete Because ginger is the sexy the bold one ...like Jessica Rabbit Baby Spice because Emma voice sweet and her face was ike a baby/cute/innocent.... Scary spice outspoken and loud in the interviews And Posh spice because she comes from "high" middle class family

A one off of Chappell Roan, "Good Luck Babe" would make you guys (me) happy! It's Bad Romance X with Kate Bush. Sonically irresistible. And *she* can SING. Nice break from the spice girlies.
