Spice Girls - Forever

dissapointing

i really wish geri didn't leave. seems like her departure put the remaining spice girls in a position where they didn't know what to do musically. this album tries a bit too hard--to be R&B. it's like these are imposters-not the same spice girls i knew and loved. you can change musically but IT HAS TO SOUND GOOD. maybe it's me but i feel that they even sound sad, mopy, and energy-less b/c Geri's not in the studio. they don't have that previous fun, spark and grit in their voices like on the previous 2 albums. i keep imagining that they were crying over geri and the future of the group right before they started recording the song i am listening to. there's nothing catchy or good! Holler is only ok. and like the Amazon review so rightly said, seems like they are stealing music from other people. the reviewer sums up this album perfectly when they say, this has all been heard before.

My Favourite Spice Girls Album

Firstly - zero stars for the official Amazon review provided by Courtney Kemp - those bland criticisms could be equally directed at a million other albums as well...but I won't go on...

Now to "Forever" - it was my favourite Spice Girls album back then and it remains so today. While the first 2 albums were enjoyable and fun, "Forever" saw the Spice Girls attempting a more adult and sophisticated sound - one which I greatly enjoyed. Standout tracks for me include: "Holler", "Tell Me Why", "Weekend Love", "Oxygen" and "Goodbye" - in my opinion all better songs, and having greater emotional impact, than those on the first 2 albums. Why this album was not widely embraced by pop fans I don't really know but I for one loved it! And still do. July 14, 2007

Hip, UP-Beat, and Awesome! Track by Track Review.

Here is my Track by Track review of Forever by the Spice Girls. Hope you enjoy it!!

1. Holler - 10/10
WOW! The song is great, and catchy, and the video is good, too! Awesome choice for a single. Just great. Theres nothing much else I can say about it!! Mel B (Scary)'s voice shines in this song.

2. Tell Me Why - 10/10
A song meant for Geri (Ginger), asking her why she abandoned them. This should have been released instead of 'Goodbye'. Definite number one. Victoria (Posh)'s voice shines in this song.

3. Let Love Lead The Way - 10/10
Released with 'Holler'. Of course, both got to number one. Best slow song on the album. Wonderful, and maybe the most catchy on the whole album. Mel C (Sporty)'s voice shines in this song.

4. Right Back At Ya - 9/10
Great for dancing, and parties. I wish that they would redo this song with Geri (Ginger) and get back together. The only problem with this song, taking away one point, it that their voiced, when combined, sound a little off in this song. Victoria (Posh)'s voice shines in this song.

5. Get Down With Me - 10/10
Best song on the whole album. Dance song, and also, very upbeat. Gotta love it. Mel B (Scary)'s voice shines in this song.

6. Wasting My Time - 10/10
Another 10/10! I can't help it. The whispering style of this dance song is iresistible! Mel C (Sporty)'s voice shines in this song.

7. Weekend Love - 8/10
This song has a great theme. It is slow, and Mel B's rap in this song doesn't really fit it, but it is still kind of catchy. Emma (Baby)'s voice shines in this song.

8. Time Goes By - 3/10
Yes, that is a 3/10. This is definitely the weak point of this album. Not catchy, and their voices seem out of place. Nobody's voice shines in this song.

9. If You Wanna Have Some Fun - 10/10
Is this sng slow, or fast. It's kinda both, and they fit perfectly together. The verses are much better than the chorus, though. Emma (Baby)'s voice shines in this song.

10. Oxygen - 5/10
Not a good tune to this song. It's weird because all of their voices shine in this song but it still manages to be somewhat bad. I try to ignore this song, but still not as much as 'Time Goes By'. All of their voices shine in this song.

11. Goodbye - 9/10
A song to bid farewell to Geri (Ginger). Very nice, and the No No No No's are sung well, by Emma. All of their voices shine in this song.

OVERALL ALBUM - 10/10
'Time Goes By', and 'Oxygen' fail to keep this album from a perfect ten! If you have the extra cash, you have to buy this! July 5, 2007

Spice girls really add a lot spice to your life!!!

HI: The spice girls came out ten years ago as the pop sensation of the 90's. They are a talented bunch of musicians and singers!!!Songs are catchy and easy to sing along to. I really like them. It's not too rockish, and not something you'd fall asleep to. Forever has a great deal of nice songs. I especially like : Let love lead the way, and Time goes By.> Great job by the Spice Girls!!

Very Disappointed with Spice Girls

The reason they stopped making albums because of Geri disappeared because this album was to tell Geri how they felt. The reason Geri quit because these 4 girls were making fun of Geri because she supported and loved Mariah Carey. I am a huge fan of Mariah Carey!!! I used to love their first and second albums and I never thought about buying their 3rd album because of Geri disappeared. I knew they wouldnt make 4th album and I was right!!! If they understood Geri and if Geri still working with them I am very sure they would make alot of albums by now. I sold my 1st and 2nd albums to a good friend of mine because I really didnt want to listen to these 4 girls singing after what they had done to Geri and talked real bad things about Mariah Carey.
