Spice World: Spice Girls
built 129 days ago
To accompany their second album, Spice World, the group now stars in this clumsy, inept film. Predictably, the team behind this tale of "girl power" is all male: director Bob Spiers, writer Kim Fuller and three producers.

Spice World audio wise, considering you're a fan of course sounds pretty fair. Sony have packed five tracks from the Spice Girls two albums including the likes of Spice up your life and Wannabe. Also, the game features plenty of voice over effects from all the girls, and some other rather annoying identities.

The Spice Girls first conquered the world after their Svengali manager, American Idol creator Simon Fuller, launched their first catchy tune, "Wannabe" in 1996. But the group fired Fuller in 1997; Halliwell quit a year later and the remaining four parted ways in early 2001.

"Spice up your life", the Spice Girls advise on the first single from Spiceworld, their second album, which was made quickly to capitalise on the movie of the same name. If that sounds more like an advertising slogan than a call for variety, solidarity, and fun, it's not the only time the disc echoes the language of a carefully planned campaign: The chorus of "Move Over" is built around the phrase "Generation Next", the rallying cry of the their Pepsi advert. And if, in turn, you come to the conclusion that this record isn't nearly as much fun as its predecessor, you're right. Any question about the creative input of Scary, Posh, Baby, Ginger, and Sporty into their own music is moot; like "Candle in the Wind 1997", Spiceworld was made to be bought, not listened to. Sure, they trade vocals this time, leaning less on the Bananarama-style gang approach of their debut, and yeah, the Motown-lite confection "Stop" doesn't exactly hurt the ear, but this disc is ultimately a bigger insult than anything a bunch of diehard anarchists such as Chumbawamba could imagine--without the kick of "Tubthumping". It ... ends on a note so jarring as to settle the group firmly in the avant-garde with the fake-lounge "Lady Is a Vamp", which unfortunately praises Jackie O and Marilyn Monroe in the same verse, then ups the ante with a shout-out to Sandy Denny(!) as a Spicy role model.

"S[P]ice World," the Spice Girls' mistake masquerading as a movie, is so bad that it makes the Village People's "Can't Stop the Music" look like "Citizen Kane." Vanity, thy names be Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm and Victoria Adams, or, more familiarly, Baby Spice, Ginger Spice, Scary Spice, Sporty Spice and Posh Spice.

Spice World is attracting the legions of young fans who have made the British pop group Spice Girls an international phenomenon. In this glorified music video, viewers root for the Girls as they try to stand by a friend in need and hit the stage in time for a globally broadcast concert--a solid message about loyalty and fulfilling obligations. All the while, they face adversity from photographers, movie producers, tabloid editors and others trying to exploit their celebrity.
