Seriously need to get into music better. They were hardly top notch. Just because of 'girl power'

Girl Power? Male song writers, Male producers, Male manager- sacked replaced by another male manager, boss of record company - Male.....Girl Power indeed, a sales pitch thought up by a male to be sold to the gullible female teenybop market.

Well it's all very pro-Spices in here i see...
If they are his/her fave band of all time, then that should be respected...I demand a reunion too! A lot of other random reunions seem to be happening (Take That, All Saints, East 17, Five, Atomic Kitten...) We Demand The Spices!

They would have to come back with a completely different, mature image. They tried that once before and it didn't really work terribly well. Also, would Geri come back? They were a little bit bland without her. For all her faults, Geri did add some character to the group and will always be remembered for her iconic union jack mini dress and platform boots!

The Spice Girls really were sh*te.
Girls Aloud are just as bad. Do yourself a favour and explore other acts/genres. |

Why do you think you never see instances with such bands where the performers are the *sole* credited writer on any song? |

^ Because they can't play an instrument, which is usually quite important when writing a song.
I still firmly believe that the Spice Girls made their own healthy contributions to their own songs. Whoever wrote them, it doesn't matter, I think the Spice Girls made some bloody brilliant pop songs. |

How dare the OP choose what music he/she likes!
Get a mind of your own and do what everyone else tells you... |

I'd love to sit Victoria Beckham down with a blank sheet of score paper and see her write a tune! FFS...

I think that they are wise not to reform, they need to leave it longer for the nostalgia value and they're not recent enough for pop credibility. They've been overtaken by the likes of Georgie Carter, Girls Aloud etc.

The Girls DID write the majority of their songs = FACT
Read the book 'How the Spice Girls re invented Pop fame' by jounalist David Sinclair it has quotes from the co writers of the songs that state the girls had HUGE influence is the writing, one quote says Geri in particular was well into the writing and she wrote Stop, Viva Forever & The Lady is a Vamp almost by herself. Mel B was the brains behind Mama. Get the facts before you go mouthing off. |

I'm amazed that anyone actually gives a toss either way!

Maybe the girls will do a one off performance but I don't think they will record another album. Last edited by gazfan : 10-11-2006 at 15:41. |

Was there one Spice Girls song written by just them, without any co-writers?

I'm sure everyone loved them.. but I don't think they should reunite.. it would probably ruin what we remember of them.
