As a self confessed Spice Girls fan I love most of their material that they released (mainly from the first 2 albums which were more pop orientated), but I was just listening to their songs tonight (Dont judge ) and realised how good this song actually is.
IMO it beats the rest of their hits hands down. It's classy, with a cool R'n'B vibe, the production sounds really slick, it has a brilliantly catchy melody and the vocals imo were the best that the SG's achieved (bar 'Forever').

It also stands the test of time to me, 15 years later it still sounds fresh and better than some recent poptunes I've heard.

Anyone else love this song or have opinions on it (Good or bad welcome).

I only used to watch it for the music haha. But I saw it again recently and the acting is so cheesy! Would never have guessed all those years ago..

Say You'll Be There is a really good song. I loved it then and I love it now. Perhaps my favourite single from them.

If I'm honest I could listen to all of The Spice Girls material solid for hours, it's that good. Cheesy as it may be, they were classic tunes back in the day and still are today.

2 Become 1, Too Much and Goodbye were played alot on TV and radio the last few weeks, because they were Christmas no.1's in 1996, 1997 and 1998

and on TV and radio they really sounded like they could be hits now.

Say You'll Be There also still sounds quite fresh. it's no wonder they have a musical coming out next year, because their music is very good! they might be remembered for the whole Girl Power thing more than their music, which is a shame cos their music is great

Edit to add: except that Headlines song they brought out in 2007...

I agree with your entire assessment of the technical merits of SYBT. It was a killer second single - vindicated in terms of myself by actually hearing it first before Wannabe, and thinking 'bloody hell who is this, they're good!'

The only - minor - niggle I hold about it though is that few seconds' noise of crying babies during the opening bars. I've never 'got' that

I love this song! I think it was on their first album. I have that album and their Greatest Hits.

Is it crying babies?? I always thought it was just like a bunch of people talking in a packed room lol

Yeah Wannabe was fun but it was just a piece of fluff compared to SYBT

I can't believe it's 15 years old.

Where has that time gone?

I remember getting the 'Spice' album for my Christmas present LOL.
