Storyline

The Spice Girls are the most successful girl group of all time. They have sold 55 million CDs worldwide, had nine No.1 singles and had the biggest selling single ever by an all female group. Although there have been many documentaries, books and articles about the Spice Girls, the girls themselves have never told their story. Until now... This is the story of the Spice Girls, told by the Spice Girls - the story from inside the eye of the hurricane, the story of the greatest pop phenomenon since The Beatles. From their pre-Spice Girl days, the forming of the group, the early struggles, their first taste of success, world domination, the break up, the aftermath and their subsequent solo careers and lives. Their recollections form an intriguing and revealing narrative along with archive footage from around the globe which illustrates the time when the Spice Girls ruled the world and how they are soon to re-claim their place as the most talked about group on the planet.

Spice Girls: Giving You Everything

With all the publicity from the reunion announcement, a tour of live concerts and a new single ("Headlines (Frienship Never Ends)") on Children in Need, it was right that there should be a documentary remembering the highs and lows of when Spice Girls dominated the pop chart. The five girls: Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm and Geri Halliwell all tell their individual versions of the story of their success as the revolutionary girl band, at the time when boy bands dominated. They explained how they got together, about their manager Simon Fuller, their beginnings, their many tours and concerts, their movie, and their many chart topping and popular singles: "Wannabe, "Say You'll Be There", "2 Become 1", "Who Do You Think You Are", "Spice Up Your Life", "Too Much", "Too Much" and those after Halliwell's departure "Viva Forever2 (the last to feature her voice), "Goodbye" and "Holler" (their last before finally splitting). Of course they also explained what it means to be back together, some ideas for the future, a very good documentary that really shows what a phenomenon they really were, and still are. Very good!
