This songs roots is heavy in hip-hop & funk. This version is raw & aggressive. I love how in their reunion concert, they had the band play it aggressively like this. The band arrangement for this in their reunion concert was fire & how they rode the energy of that arrangement was epic. The final version is good & polished but I feel that they gave it a more pop feel to please different audiences. They took away the hip-hop sounding drums & the record scratching & other hip-hop funk elements. That arrangement should've been kept for the final version. Happy the band reflects those elements in the live version for the intended intensity,
Wannabe was one of the turning point songs in pop music, where the dominant sound transitioned from gangsta rap and funk to polished boy/girl group-Max Martin music.
This version was better because it was more organic and incorporated all the girls when it says: "so tell me what you want what you really really want" - It makes it sound more crazy, messy and "girls having fun" type of energy what is what they were all about, not to say that the version that came is isn't bomb. It is still my No.1 but this could have sounded good too but I am assuming the producers wanted to "clean it up" a little more.
What’s the stages of making a song sound like the final track? I get the demo stage but I remember reading in Geri’s autobiography that a producer remixed Wannabe to sound RNB and they all hated it. What steps are taken for the girls to go in and sing the song exactly like what we end up hearing on the Cd!
Normally to my understanding an artist starting will pitch a song to a label and they will “produce” or technically tweak the song to sound more finished add music to open note spaces or in this case change it to sound more marketable. But the radio version isn’t much different from this.
Normally the steps are: -Write lyrics to a beat already in process, or make a beat in base of the lyrics and chords you've already have. - Then do a demo (like this) - You present it to executives, they will give you green light or maybe deny it. - Then you start polishing the things that you've already made. The label if they're happy with your product will throw more money in the production, that's why some songs in "Spice" sound better mastered than others. Compare the quality in the Something kinda funny chorus and any of the singles of the era. - You polished it, change the things that you feel the need to be changed as per the girls/label/A&R request and then its done. Send it to public and pray people will love it
Does anyone know if Victoria missed the writing session, recording or both? I’m just curious because I assumed she missed the recording for the actual single that was released, and thought she might’ve had a solo in the demo.
She was at a wedding with her boyfriend at the time they were writing the song so ended up with no lines. Just sings on the chorus and the "are you for reeeeal" bit
so they totally used this exact demo version in the Spice World movie!
I can't help but hear in my head all the adlibs and banter the girls do in the restaurant scene of the movie during this song.

I love this version
Soooo 90's in every way especially the chorus
Spiceworld version!!!! -_-
Yep that demo was on their movie
This kinda has a new Jack swing vibe to it. I like it.
I Love Spice Girls, I Love All Of The Songs
Mel b is my favourite spice girl 😗
Same here..❤
By far the best Spice Girl😍😍😍
Glad we got the chorus vocals fixed for the studio album. I love them, but that was a little rough.
Well it was only a demo.
Can someone get viva forever demo???? 🤩🤩

I agree and the chorus sounds better too I think here.
That laugh 😍😍😍😍
Mel B 💚💚💚
I don't believe it's a demo version. I know that's its title but I think they recorded for the movie Spiceworld
this really really should have been on the greatest hits
They were too cheap to even put the album versions on the Greatest Hits!
@@leeriches8841 and now its going to be released as part of the 25 year anniversary .
Do you have any unreleased songs from Geri Halliwell please?
This is getting released along with another demo
yes, my bitch
Can someone write me the lyrics? I'm Hispanic, I would like to know what Emma says at minute 2:16 😅
Más que seguro dice "Say 'never ends' " o "They never ends"
Now officially released
Emma sings THEY NEVER ENDS?🎶
Because in this version it's "friendships never end".
Yes
is there a video while they were recording?
Geri's laughing ❤️
that was Mel B laughing
So much better version!
Whats says EMMA?🤔

She missed it completely. She was worried the press would paint her as the one who didn't sing, and well...
Where's Victoria's part?
She’s never sang on wannabe (except 98 when Geri left and even then her contribution was minimal)
@@MrJacksparrow07 ah I see. Thought even on demo she's sing for a part of this song
She was on holiday during Wannabe's creation.
In the final cut she have 'are you for real' with mel c
Since this is a demo and they send to record and the record refuse this tape
it’s sounds like willy willy bum bum lol
I don't like how Mel B voice sounds in the rap verse. I prefer how it sounds in the final version of Wannabe

So much better than the released version.
I now see why Simon Cowell turned them down. I love the final me X ..but this is rough.
