I thought Spice was released in 1996.
I believe she did the "you gotta slam" part, and she also says (I believe) "And as for me, ah you'll see!"

"And as for me, ah you'll see!" I'm pretty sure Mel B did the whole spice rap. I remember in the "Say You'll Be There" performance in the movie "Spice World," it LOOKED like Victoria had a solo part because the camera panned to her. However, if you look in the background, Geri also sings the part with her so Victoria's voice could've been buried under Geri's!

I downloaded the "Wannabe" performance (m2v format) from SNL. Victoria does not sing anything solo in it, but she makes noises in one part. Her mic was turned way down too.
It was a nice performance. Mel B looked good.

I wonder why the title was spelled as one word. I mean, a "wannabe" is someone who immitates someone else. But in the lyrics, they're singing "if you wanna be my lover," as in "want to." Yeah, this was always my problem with the song's title. Why didn't they just name it "If You Wanna Be My Lover"...?

Yeah, this was always my problem with the song's title. Why didn't they just name it "If You Wanna Be My Lover"...? I kind of thought it was called "Wannabe" because the dude was trying to get at her, and while wanting to be her lover he was acting like a "wannabe" of her hypothetical lover. That was the only way I could make sense of it. I didn't care much for the song but it could have been worse.

I'm surprised that so many people seem to be liking this song because I thought it was absolute manure. One of the top 10 worst I've ever heard. And I liked "Say You'll Be There", too.

I like the p-funk of "Say You'll Be There" more, but "Wannabe" is certainly kitschy fun.

I hated the hell out of this song when it first came out, but then eventually grew to like it. Still not one of my favorites; I much prefer "Say You'll Be There" and "Too Much".
During the three months that I listened to the "World Chart Show", they had a handful songs on the chart, including "2 Become 1" (several months before it was released in the US) and "Mama", never released here.

It was a good song. I'll admit... I have their first CD. When I saw Melanie Brown as Mimi in "Rent" a part of me wants to scream "I LOVE YOU SCARY SPICE!" lol!

My two favorite Spice Girls songs are "Too Much" and "Say You'll Be There". I can't really say which one's my favorite; depends on my mood at the time. I also like "Spice Up Your Life". The others ("2 Become 1" and "Wannabe" are the two that come to mind) are just OK.
