Bop or flop - HOLLER

[Suedehead]

Say my name

 

[Marilyn]

Massive 10/10 incredible bopalina

 

[Music]

One of their best.

 

[Halli]

BOP all the way, sublime, love the video too. Apart from Mel C's 'looque'

 

[Rita]

I absolutely ADORE this and honestly don’t think it has dated all that bad considering it’s 25? Years old now. Madness.

 

[Joseph]

BOP

 

[win_the_game]

BOP for me. I don't think anything else on Forever lived up to this.

 

[Loufoque]

Despite being somewhat of a 'flop' for a #1 and a Spice Girls single, it's probably aged the best of much of their stuff and sounds so cool.

 

[funky]

Cheap as chips but still a BOP

 

[Loufoque]

Sorry but it sounds expensive. And it was.

 

[Pipo]

BOP all the way, of course, 8 users hate it.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

Those who agree with Vicky the Vole to reconsider ALL LIFE CHOICES.

Retrospectively, I'm surprised they had it in them. Mel B and Emma are on especially vibrant vocal form (for them). Victoria is passable, but Mel C just didn't have the range for this. And in the video M&V B's both pitched their pop star auras sky high above the other 2 (Mel C looking like the blonde from Daphne & Celeste and Emma like a young Judy Finnigan at the local biker bar).

 

[Rita]

How much did Forever sell in the end? I always remember hearing many different figures for Spice Girls sales. 35-50 million albums which is quite a scope. Was Forever responsible for around 2 million of those?

I remember the Holler/Let Love TOTP appearances, Mel B and Vicky looked amazing in every single one of them. Poor Mel C though, now that we know what she was going through then.

 

[Halli]

Cheap as chips but still a BOP

Eh?

 

[funky]

The lyrics are abysmal!

 

[VoR]

This top ten still lives rent free in my head. What a time!

 

[straightorbroken]

I mean:

 

[Finn]

They were not the Spice Girls by this point, and I don't consider this song to be canon

 

[Suedehead]

Hun sorry but no

 

[KC 🦋]

I think it's mostly loyal Spice Girls stans who like this song. Civilians may remember the song, but bop? I don't think.

 

[straightorbroken]

KC's right, the general population probably think it's Destiny's Child or En Vogue.

 

[GNL]

KC's right, the general population probably think it's Destiny's Child or En Vogue.

On a vocal off day.

 

[Penelope]

Who CARES what civilians think?!

 

[Penelope]

Anyway this is obviously a terrifique bop

 

[KC 🦋]

Gays don't just get to SHELF civilians when convenient for them.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Civilians? Is that the heteros? WE DON’T CARE WHAT THEY THINK.

 

[BoysForSeles]

I liked this individual song but nobody wanted an album of this ilk from them.

 

[Pipo]

I liked this individual song but nobody wanted an album of this ilk from them.

apparently Mel Beh wanted it (and Victoria to a lesser extent), Emma was going through the motions and Melly C was strung out 24/7 and didn't give a shit.

 

[straightorbroken]

Forever completely abandoned their previously kaleidoscopic approach. All that frantic pop voltage of Spiceworld completely fizzled out. I feel like they were given mostly placeholder fodder. Given their album sales and popularity, it ought to have had more daring pursuits and when that moment is the languid If You Wanna Have Some Fun, well, there wasn't much to be had, sporadic comedy Mel B rap aside.

 

[Inner Smile]

BOP! It's very different for them but so what? It was MINT
