everyone in the music industry had written them off and said they had split but the fans which include me i am sorry to say were waiting in anticipation for the time when they different characters would join together again and give us the best that pop has to offer. unfortunately i think everyone was disappointed even such a hardcore fan like me because they had changed so much. i expected them to lose their personality a little and for the music to be much more grown up but this was too far. the album takes a completely different and ill advised approach to music and goes down the road of r'n'b. maybe they could have achieved it but they did'nt the new album is terrible i bought it. there are only a few good tracks on the album and good is the only word that can be used. anyone who saw the girls doing their xmas concerts in christmas 99 would could'nt wait for the new album as then they had no intention of going fully r'n'b and their personalities were still in tact. 'right back at ya' was brilliant it was a great pop song but they got rodney jerkins to produce it for the album and now it is less than worthy of the spice girls. 'woman' was another great spice song but that has been left off the album. there are only three good songs on the whole record and thats 'holler' which is an excellent mix of pop and r'n'b, 'if you wanna have some fun' which is another good mix and then there is 'goodbye' which was rather strangely put on the album but nevertheless it is an excellent pop song one of the best in fact. but it is not worth buying the album for just those songs as the others are bland, cheesy and cliche the girls sound better but the music has never sounded worse.

Advantages: Might appeal to non-Spice Girl fans, since its a standard R'n'B record Disadvantages: A misguided move away from everything that made them who they were

Review of Forever - Spice Girls
Advantages: The lyrical genius, slick harmonies, smashing productions and catchy melodies. Disadvantages: The lack of pop/disco songs which make the spice girls, the spice girls.
