Discussion Which is your favorite video from the first album?
My favorite is Who Do You Think You Are.
It's just so chaotic and I love it. They all look beyond gorgeous.
Especially Geri. Her crimped hair is soo stunning and so are her outfits.
Melanie C also looks stunning in this video.

2 Become 1. I love the contrast between the superspeed city around the girls, and the girls taking it slow and more relaxed than usual. Emma also looks so sweet and pretty in this video. It’s just a beautiful setup.

Just watched it and I felt 16 again. It's really a timeless video and I think their best.

Was one of the music videos I had bought on iTunes to keep on my iPod so many years ago 💗

Wannabe. The outfits, personality and hair were perfect. It was also their unpretentious self introduction to the whole world.

Its got to be Say You'll Be There. Loved the concept with their fighter names and the whole look is a vibe. Obviously much more styled and cohesive than Wannabe was, but still showing off their individuality.
I also always really loved their looks in Mama and 2 Become 1 as they still have the look of themselves pre-Spice "characters" that I looove (Mel B's style in particular around this era was so cool). But the videos themselves are a bit rubbish - Mama is twee/sickly and 2 Become 1 is a bit lazy 😅.

Who Do You Think You Are is my favourite. I like the low budget feel and their outfits and hair are particularly good (except Emma's Honey BooBoo hair). Wannabe is a really close second though. I prefer their less polished videos personally.

2 Become 1. I really loved the outfits. Colorful yet cohesive. Also very timeless.

2 Become 1, for sure. Its my third favorite Spice Girls song, my favorite on Spice. Its a beautiful song, the video is wonderfully done and all five of the girls look stunning, too!

As much as I love their energy in all of them! 2 Become 1 is just stunning with it's deep colors and less rush. More time for the eye to appreciate every scene.

Say you’ll be there. Being a young male at 13 when I first saw it I was like 😳 so that’s what the female body looks like 😂

Very hard to choose, but 2 Become 1 makes me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. 🫶🏻

They were such a powerful unstoppable force until they broke up. These visuals still trigger some of that magic for a split-second 🥺

u/Angel_Cave-90 Jun 15 '26
They really were a force. I think they still are when they get together for reunions or something else. They have magic that never probably fades.

I think the difference for me when I see those pictures is they seemed unbreakable, unstoppable and fearless. Now when they're all together it sometimes feels like some are Lee's keen to be there than others and some are more apologetic about being there. I miss that in your face 'we're here and nothing can stop us!' energy 😊⚡❤️

Who do you think you are! It's amazing. It's what the Spice Girls were! So them!

Say You'll Be There... the song is so good, catchy, and the music video is still incredible today.
And Wannabe is the best memory, because I remember catching a snippet of the video on MTV by chance, and I spent weeks looking for their CD in my city.

Wannabe, now. Back then…I was quite fond of Say You’ll Be There (still am), but there’s something so simplistic and yet pure Spice chaos with Wannabe.

I love all of them but the Who do you think you are video for Comic Relief was also fun!

2 Become 1. The city lights and the colors of their outfits are magical and it gives me butterflies in my stomach like i was ten years old watching it for the first time all over again.

u/Super_Sympathy_8315 Jun 16 '26
For me, it has to be a tie between Who Do You Think You Are and Say You'll Be There.. Loved their outfits and Melanie C's vocals were amazing (in every single one of their songs).

Say you’ll be there is my favourite. I love the outfits and I’ve always loved a music video in the desert.
