I was 14 in 1996. The Spice Girls LITERALLY took over the planet for 2 whole years: every show, every newspaper, every product, everywhere, all day every day 24/7. It was incredible. There's never been anything like it since. The closest was probably One Direction. But the Spice Girls was far more intense, as it was shorter and faster, nothing can compare. In the UK they had 9 number 1s, a number 2, and 2 number 1 albums and a number 2 album. Every single they released in the UK sold about 1 million copies EACH. I think they sold 55 million records in 2 years. Insane numbers, when you think Gaga can get a number one now with 50,000 units in the UK. Was a good time to be young.

The music video for Too Much was them all playing characters in from a film: Posh Spice was in a Bond filml, Baby Spice was the girl from Poltergeist, Ginger Spice was Rita Hayworth, Scary Spice was Mad Mad Thunderdome, and Sporty was in a Kung Fu film. The other clips were from Spice World the Movie - which you need to see. So bad its good. 90 minutes of them mocking themselves with an all star cast.

Spice Girls ballads are lit 🔥

if you realised in ‘Goodbye’ there was only 4 members instead of 5 as Geri left the band so it was a goodbye to her!!

"Goodbye" has been one of my favorites since it came out and it is touching on Geri's departure.

Mel C who has the "smokey voice" has 25 years of solo material, Northern Star her first album is AMAZING, she's still going. Her last album was last year.

GOODBYE went to number one in many countries including Canada where it is the longest running number one single of all time! But TWO BECOMES ONE is quintessential Spice Girls excellence!! Musically you cannot deny their sincerity & their authenticity

"Spice Up Your Life" was their second album's first single, and its music video represents their world domination at the time. They were incredibly popular everywhere (mostly their UK homeland), and everything they touched seemed to turn to gold. The media constantly reported about 'em every single week, all their singles up until that point (including SUYL) were #1 in the UK, and were successful around the world. Only two months prior they were recording their second album while simultaneously filming their debut movie ( _Spice World: The Movie_ ), both of which later became UK #1's and successful elsewhere. They had what seemed to be endless merchandise, promotion and sponsorship deals, which increased their popularity and in turn they became household names. Everything from television ads for Pepsi, Polaroid, Impulse and Walker Crisps. Launched a new TV channel, an official magazine, a VHS documentary, a toy doll line, a Pepsi sponsored concert in Istanbul, the list goes on. "Too Much" represents each of the girls as characters inspired from different movies. Mel B/Scary Spice - _Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome_ (1985) Emma/Baby Spice - _Poltergeist_ (1982) Mel C/Sporty Spice - _Year of the Dragon_ (1985) Geri/Ginger Spice - _Gilda_ (1946) Victoria/Posh Spice - _Batman Returns_ (1992) "Goodbye" was written after Geri's departure and is of course written about her. The album's song version of "2 Become 1" had Geri sing a different verse instead of Victoria's. For the single's release however, it was changed to Victoria's new verse because they felt it alienated the gay community ("Any deal that we endeavor, boys and girls feel good together..."), and because Geri couldn't sing her verse very well. Help me PMD, I think I'm a SG nerd.

I was truly hoping that 2 Become 1 was going to be in this reaction mix, because it IS and has always been my favorite SG song.

The song Too Much is one of my faves, and has kind of a loaded message from the group. At the time the movie came out (Spice World, which this is from) they hadn't had a day off in almost two years, according to band members. They were at the height of their global dominance and country hopping like crazy. Not long after this song came out, Gerri announced she was leaving and it was like the second break up of the Beattles. It was insane how many people were devastated.

If you haven't already, you should check out their performance at the 2012 London Olympics :)

This is a cool selection of songs! Spices at their glory. That said, do not miss on their solo careers. Mel C had quite many hits. Especially, during her debut era with Europop smash hit with techno elements "I Turn To You". Geri ("Calling", "It's Raining Men", "Scream If You Wanna go Faster", "Ride It", etc.) and Emma ("What Took You So Long", etc.) had a few hits, too. Mel B and Victoria also releasing a few songs solo. Guess, Victoria has only one most known single "Let Your Head Go". (2000s bop)

I'm so glad these girls were such a huge part of my childhood. Legends! ✌ And gosh, their music has held up extremely well. Love, love, love these girls. Thanks for another great reaction. Please consider doing their three studio albums (especially the first two), I think you'll find plenty to like there. It's amazing what a legacy they've managed to leave with just 2 albums' worth of songs as a 5-piece.

The second video: Spice World The movie Spice World is a 1997 British musical comedy film directed by Bob Spiers and written by Kim Fuller. The film stars pop girl group the Spice Girls, who all play themselves. The film-made in a similar vein to The Beatles' A Hard Day's Night (1964)-depicts a series of fictional events leading up to a major concert at London's Royal Albert Hall, liberally interspersed with dream sequences and flashbacks as well as surreal moments and humorous asides.

I was a kid when the Spice Girls were happening so of course I gravitated to all their upbeat fun songs. But looking back their slower fare was just as impactful as 2 Become 1 was probably my first realization of "Oh, I understand what 'sexy' is now."

Too muchis my fav spice girls song❤❤❤❤any song of theirs brings back great memories

“Two Become One” is a very good song. Whereas “Goodbye My Friend” is brilliant. And “Viva Forever” is their masterpiece. (IMO)

Yes you said it right there with goodbye and viva forever. That words you said to describe those songs are on point 💯

These are all 4 of my favorites from them🥰🥰

For 2-3 years, the Spice Girls were the most intense cultural phenomena I’ve ever experienced. It was magical. ❤

2 become 1 is my favorite song by them, and the video is stunning, a visual poem 😍

Love Spice Girls. Especially Spice up your life

I must confess, I was pretty sick of The Spice Girls when they were big back in the day but looking back now, I can appreciate them more. Maybe you could do a review of some of their solo hits? I loved the one Mel B did with Missy Elliot, and Victoria's song with Dane Bowers should have been no1 but there was a campaign against it. I think I've mentioned the one with Mel C and Bryan Adams before. She also did one with Lisa Left Eye Lopez. Geri didn't collaborate if I recall but I liked her song Mi Chico Latino. She looks amazing in the vid. Just an idea for another episode. By the way, good to see you. I was starting to worry :)

On 2 Become 1, I LOVE how Geri and Emma’s harmonies blend so good together, that lower voice you hear of her it’s so nice. Geri was so good at harmonies. And I love it even more when her voice was front and center at the choruses like Viva Forever, Never Give up on the Good Times, Say You’ll Be There and If You Can’t Dance (which the chorus is just her voice overlaid like 3-4 times in different tones.)

2 Become 1 is a jam forever

Loved this collection of Spice Girl videos. Mel C is my favourite, love her voice. The UK has been blessed with probably the best girl and boy bands of all time with the Spice Girls and Take That. Hope you had a good brake Bryson.

Wood. I met yr channel yesterday, and now its my favorite!!!

My sister owns the red chinese style top that Mel C wore in her solo and fighting scenes in the Too Much music video. It's incredible to see in real life as it is beautiful and iconic but sad in a way too. I think round about this time, with the world tour coming up, Mel really started to get in too deep with the exercise and dieting and her eating disorder was starting to take grip of her. So to see how small the top is is almost physical evidence of the stress and exhaustion they were going through.

WHAT, A PART 2? YAAAY!🎉🎉🌏🇬🇧🌏🇬🇧🌏🎶🫶🎉

We were blessed to Have so many great pop groups back then especially in uk and America. Great days

I love looking back and listening to music I grew up with through fresh eyes and ears

Watching these videos I could feel my 20 year old Baby Spice crush stirring. Great songs! Glad you liked them.

love this Girls!!! 😍😍😍😍...Forever

I hope when you finish the Spice Girls, you go on to look at their solo stuff

These are huge hits you are discovering here, songs that forged our teenage years and were exceptional at the time, new unique sound with a fresh girlband like no other... I was obsessed in them and I still love them to this day

The music video for Too Much was made up of scenes from their movie Spiceworld along with them dressed as different characters inspired by various films: Mad Max, Poltergeist, Bond, Rita Hayworth, and kung fu films.

Colours of the world. Spice up your life!!! I think the first 2 videos are from "Spiceworld". Hilarious movie. I love 2 become 1. There's also a Spanish version. Even better I think. Welcome back 👌🏻

I'm really enjoying your vids, thank you. There is something very soothing & joyful about your voice... makes me smile 😃

Such a great trip back into my childhood. I think you would really enjoy the duet When You’re Gone by Mel C and Bryan Adams.

2 Become 1, Too Much and Goodbye were all UK Christmas number 1s in the years 1996, 1997 and 1998 respectively.

thanks for reminding me about these good tracks! I listened to 2 becomes 1 sooo much. me and my friend used to make rollerskatemusicvideos to all their songs. this was always such a fun and smooth choreo :D we were 11-12 I think. best times.

There's another British girl group called Eternal!!! They were Destiny's Child before Destiny's. Their first album Always and Forever was huge in 1993 in the UK and Australia and New Zealand. They had 5 singles off their first album - enough for a video like this. They had 4 albums. There's also All Saints an urban rival to the Spice Girls in 1997. They were great - they're still going.

Fantastic

This was great thanks loved all the songs, and so glad your back we missed ya!

We need a part 3

Omg the Spice Girls are soooo iconic

Tenía 8 años cuando salió 2 become 1 en vídeo! Y 9 años cuando lloré tanto escuchando ese track una y otra vez por qué en navidad recibí el álbum Spice de regalo de papá Noel. 😭

I'm addicted to your channel! Absolutely love your personality! Omg I'm so glad you did 'goodbye' that song makes me cry so much! Especially love Mel B's bridge to the chorus 🙌🏻 you should react to them opening the olympics in London! So fab! Big love from northern England ✨

There's a fantastic interview / documentary they did over a decade ago where they talked about the highs and lows, Gerri leaving, touring etc. Its a a good watch!

Amazing

The video for " Too Much " is clips from " SPICE GIRLS THE MOVIE " 1997 .

Plz can u watch the UK group steps mostly there early stuff. U will.love it. Love ur channel much love from Scotland 🥰🥰🥰

I also love her voice 😊

So good

I really hope you’re able to react to Spice Girls’ “Mama,” one of their best songs, imo. I also second everyone to check out their solo careers, but especially Mel C’s! Her songs are the best, as a whole, imo.

Spice girls have alot of hits!!!! My childhood man! 😭 the good ole days I was 11 when they were ontop of the world

I was a mega Spice Girls stan when I was 6 and 7 years old, they were my whole life lol. I think the other videos worth checking out are Wannabe, Say You'll Be There, and Mama!

Spice girls were HUGE. i mean bigger than The Beatles, Spice girls were more like a Coke or Pepsi. they took over the planet, from US to Pakistan Kenya to Chile.... its hard for ANY girl group to beat them in global dominance

lovely spices!!!

Love these. Please do the spice girls who do you think you are (the sugar lumps) comic relief video.they have comedians as their twins.dawn french as posh, Jennifer Saunders as ginger, Llewella Gideon as scary,Kathy Burke as sporty and singer Lulu as baby.

In 2 Become 1, the part that Victoria sings is a revised line because they wanted to include gay couples in the song.

Fun fact Both Posh (Victoria Beckham) and Mel B were pregnant when they sang and recorded Goodbye

can't wait to see you react to the solo albums!!!

The fact that we’re in a point in time where people have no idea the Spice Girls made a movie. The weird scenes in too much is spice world the movie

So great that you're getting into the girls. There are 3 things gay men should be into - Kylie Minogue, Madonna, and the Spice Girls.

Welcome back, Bryon. Glad you are well and I hope that you had a nice and wonderful vacation.

Elas são maravilhosas l love you

I think that Spice Girls next move should be a 5-woman show on Broadway. Sing all the hits focusing on showing off their vocals because their voices really do sound amazing together.. maybe some dance numbers, but nothing huge production-wise. Lots of chatting, telling stories, and taking questions from the audience.

Gotta watch the movie Spice World.

Goodbye will always be one of my all time favourite songs

You should add more spice girl videos

they re released spice up your life in october, brand new video footage

Could you please react to some Mel C please? Things will never be the same again and I turn to you are SO good! Btw, Viva forever and Goodbye are timeless classics in my humble opinion 👌❤️

The videos for "Too Much" and Spice World" feels so quintessentially Spice Girls- playing up characters and having fun. And I haven't heard "Goodbye" in such a long time, I'm gonna have to move up to my top 10 Spice Girls tracks. "2 Become 1" and "Too Much" are two of their best tracks for me.

Too much music video is so varied because it has scenes from their movie Spice World

All of these songs were #1 in the UK . 2 Became 1 1996 , too much 1997 , goodbye 1998 was consecutive Christmas number ones. Too much video show video clips from their movie SpiceWorld 1997 . Goodbye is the first video after Geri’s departure .

You should dive into solo spice projects and you can find your favorite.

Let's do some Album tracks. Love Thing, Something Kind a Funny, Never Give up on the Good Times, Oxygen.

Ah the memories!! ❤️

the music video is them portraying different films like poltergeist, mad max, cat woman, kung fu movies, and old classics like Marilyn Monroe. the scenes that its mixed with are from their Spice World movie

Mel B was a revelation in this song.

Fun fact- Melanie C forgot to put on the goggles that was on her head only a part of the song

you should check out "Wannabe". it was shot in one take :)

You forgot 'Say You’ll Be There' which is one of my favorite

Sorry for spamming your comments. I adore these girls. I love seeing young people discovery them.

Best girlband ever

So 2 Become 1 had a lyric change.... it used to say "Boys and Girls go good together" but being the inclusive queens they are, they changed the lyric to "love will bring us back together" Also check out Blame It On Me by Mel C

Shout-out to every British kid - or kid of any nation, actually - who can picture exactly what was going on in their lives based on which Spice Girls song was out at the time.

the SPUYL shows how the world is too dark ande depress end they bring it to life

Please react to: Melanie C - Never Be The Same Again Melanie C - On The Horizon Geri Halliwell - Mi Chico Latino Geri Halliwell - It's Raining Men Geri Halliwell - Look At Me Emma Bunton - What Took You So Long Emma Bunton - Maybe

Part 3 pls..

In too much the group scene was based on their flim ( yes they made their own movie) but the individual scene was based on their favorite movies. Baby spice /blonde/ emma . Was based off of poltergeist. Mel b / scary spice black one was mad max . Melanie c / sporty spice . Husky voice one . Was based off of last dragon. Posh/ Victoria Beckham was playing cat woman in a batman type movie. And Geri/ ginger spice/ red head was based off classic movie I not sure which one. So when you watch it again it makes more sense.

Forgot how pretty ‘Goodbye’ is

❤❤❤

Biggest selling girl band in history!! Enough said!! They had the original x factor and it worked!! Mel c and Mel b have the best voices but they really blend,victoria was and still is unwarranted I think,I just don't get her!!!

SPICE UP YOUR LIFE is on the list of the TOP 10 MOST EXPENSIVE MUSIC VIDEOS yo ❤

Spice Girls Is A Group 1996

and "Goodbye" was about Ginger Spice when she left the group. Sorry, im showing my age with all this info lol

I miss crazy budget music videos that everyone stopped to check out - the late 90s was a proper era. Fun fact: I once saw Scary Spice starkers in the gym changing rooms 😂

Am I the only one that wants to see you do a reaction to the movie Spice World?
