Unhappy How Were Spice Girls Ever Successful?
They make me feel ill everytime they come on every christmas with their 3 Number Ones

How were they ever popular?

God, I'm glad I only lived in the last few years of the 90s, would of died if I lived an earlier I swear.

They look like idiots trying to act all epic and cool when they aren't.

Victoria Becham is and never was fit, she looks like a Parrot.

The black one looks like a Monkey with her hair.

The other one is just a fail that looks as if she's trying to be Victoria Becham but is failing at it.

The Ginger one is like meh.

The little blonde one is ******ing fit

5 next door girls with Girl Power! Had a total of 9 number 1 sisngles and are the most successful girl band of all time! They are one of my all time fave bands of all time and my first ever music obsession! They released many merchendice and had very successful tours. My fave Spice Girl will always be Geri

...their debut album, Spice, sold more than 23 million copies worldwide, becoming the best-selling album by a female group in music history. They have sold over 75 million records worldwide with only four albums and twelve singles, making them the best selling girl group of all time.

Girl Power \/


The 90's > Now. Music is awful nowadays. Back then music wasn't about sex and hot girls.

Because each decade has a wave of poular music. They triggered the 'Girl band' and 'girl power' trend. This decade so far seems to be rubbish dance music and pointless glee cast style music

But the Gaga is here to save us all with her amazing songs.

To reply to the thread, the Spice Girls were like Britney in her early years. They both had writers who knew how to appeal to a younger audience and write catchy songs. Only Britney's ones are more betterer.

They were fun and they had great songs and it was about GIRL POWER! They were my first ever obsession and I still love them now. Just perfect pop music.

on the contrary, I agree they were utterly talentless, as proven by their disastrous solo ventures (well, ignoring their success...the songs were awful)

None of them have sustained a singing career though. Emma is somehow a judge on Dancing on Ice and presents 'Lorraine' some Fridays, Mel B pops up on Loose Women every now and again whilst pretending to live in America, the ginger one was last seen being booed on X Factor, the sporty I have no idea about and Victoria is in fashion.

They were so successful because they were manufactured down to the nth degree and down to their characters- every girl could relate to one of them

But they're sh*t. Girls Aloud > Spice Girls

Like the Spice Girls are any better. Her songs are catchy and unique. And unlike other artists, she actually writes them all herself. She ain't halfassed. Oh and she sings live. Gaga is awesome, and deep down you know it but are too afraid to admit it

Well they had it. God know what it is, but it's 'it'. They had some catchy tunes anyway, who cares what they did after they were mega at the time

as much as I love gaga and want her babies, she has nothing to do with this. She shouldn't be brought up like all the time.

Lady Gaga is always good in clubs. I don't really like her music outside of them but even Alejandro goes down well

I admit that I too loved the Spice Girls. Even have seen the movie like 13 or 14 times at least! I still do to this day!! I am even playing a Spice Girls song at this moment (Say You'll Be There).

oh and the 90s = pretty much the worst decade for music. all of the obsessions with popular mainstream stuff we have today, without the availability of alternatives online.
