Franco Lima 🔥 honestly both routines are sooo much fun. Actually that was the original dance routine for whenever they performed Love Thing (Bravo Super Show, A3, Both Istanbul shows) and then they performed Love Thing 3 times in the 1998 tour at Wembley and they came out with this more complex dance routine. Reason being now that Geri was no longer part of the group they definitely were able to spice up their choreography more.
These five ordinary British girls conquered the world in budget costumes and with simple choreography. No bad language, sleaze or massive egos. Just talent, relatability and total belief in their girl power message. 🥰🇬🇧
This seems like yesterday!! I remember not eating during lunchtime at school so I can save up my money to buy their casette tapes! And now it's been 2 decades! :( How I miss my girls!!
After some of her interviews ik she was so fucking happy her mic was on. It’s kinda sad but I’m happy and she sounded good love you Vicky. Spice girls forever
@@Nocturne22 Victoria was and is the queen of sarcasm and irony. She made that statement knowing it wasn’t true, but people always said that about her lol
Does anyone who went here see themselves on screen? I was desperately hoping to be seen but I never saw myself both on the recording of the live box office or the VHS/DVD. Great concert though, the whole show slapped but this song got the adrenaline pumping. So pleased they readded this song in after the US leg. I was 13, now I am 38.
@@prettylola3012 You don't have to like the Spice Girls or their music, but you can't objectively say they are the worst girl group.

1:54, GODDESS Mel C's slim but impressively toned body with abdominals in evidence when under strain... looks like perfectly smoothed marble. Her self-discipline in that incredible, hyper-frantic span of Spice Girls' heydays (especially the whole 1997 and 1998) when she routinely underwent heavy diets and physical exercices, simply deserves 1,000% admiration. All of them in fact were in stressful times due to protracted, heavy workloads with only the very least of rest. In 1998 alone, 98 full concerts in 14 European countries and through the USA were actually compressed into less than 7 months - the whole, together with a lot more committments of every kind. All what these girls earned back then, they fully deserved it.
@@nicosantana7277 ...the matter doesn't change - the whole thing was a magnificent show of self-discipline though. Not to mention her obsessive gym activity everyday, everywhere, no matter the time and/or location (if I think at the time needed to do everything she wished to do, outside the mere nature of their required committments). This does mean, simply, a great self-discipline - as clearly admitted and stated in the great book "Wannabe - how Spice Girls reinvented the pop fame" by D. Sinclair.
@@francescofissore161 No, it was unhealthy and almost destroyed her body and mind. At one point she was eating nothing but steamed vegetables because she had cut all carbs and fats and proteins from her diet, so she exercising with nothing to fuel her body and also pushing her body way beyond her limits.
@@Nocturne22 ... it's true, yet even more so that's called self-discipline; and, at the highest levels. If not, how could have she been able to succeed in doing this way virtually every day? Yes the diet was wrong and almost dangerous for her, I'm not denying this; but I simply was speaking of self-discipline and, literally, it was.
Bet when they were filming the Wannabe video they couldn't even dream of playing multiple nights at Wembley Stadium! I'm so happy it worked so well for them and I'm grateful to have been swept up in Spice Mania. I was lucky enough to see all 5 of them in concert at the very first UK concert of the Spiceworld Tour in 1998. After that, Geri became more and more distant and reserved. We were some of the last people to ever see her iconic red hair with the front blonde streaks!
.... hai visto il video di Istanbul di un anno prima (Ottobre 1997) con 'Love Thing' eseguita nello stesso modo? Persino migliore secondo me... non saprei dire esattamente in che cosa, ma migliore. Forse una leggera differenza nella parte strumentale, oppure il loro primissimo vero concerto e quindi una 'magia' speciale che a Wembley non si è ripetuta... qui erano ormai stanche fisicamente e psicologicamente dopo 28 - 29 mesi sotto i riflettori di tutto il mondo, un'avventura condotta a ritmi di lavoro maniacali e quasi assurdi.
Interesting to see that we occasionally glimpse a BSL interpreter signing on the two side displays in the background😀 (like at 2:36 - male in a black t-shirt in a blue circle, directly above Melanie), but he disappears as soon as we cut to shots of the whole stage such as 2:49 so we don't see him properly on the recording🙁 - presumably the sequences of camera angles were pre-planned, so they knew to cut him from the screens while filming those shots?🤔
@@antoniofaroppa4347 ... vero, tuttavia 11 mesi prima ad Istanbul avevano eseguito per la prima volta Love Thing in questa versione diciamo così, 'simil-funk' (quasi identica a questa qui di Wembley), pochissimo diversa e proprio soltanto in cose minime. Erano in cinque, il loro primo vero concerto, una grinta con un qualcoa di speciale che riesce difficile esprimere a parole, e che probabilmente non si è più ripetuto. Qui a Wembley è davvero un concerto splendido, ma ha chiaramente il gusto di un '... arrivederci, torneremo sulla scena ma sarà tutto decisamente diverso... senza dubbio'. Come ha detto Mel C in un'intervista neppure troppo tempo fa, "...la partenza di Geri è stata, in pratica, l'inizio del declino per noi''.
Go Spice girls go , I am a big huge number one Spice girls fan girl power rules and I have loved the spice girls for a really long time ever since I was thirteen
Victoria’s vocals are just perfect! I love this music!
Really?
The reason why this group was and still is the best is because no one is at the center. They all blend in so well.
especially when Geri left.
Mel C is kind of the lead singer. Another album and it would have been Mel C and the backup singers
@@MsJubjubbird I dont think that because they would continue to write songs the way that encapsulates all of them in their distinctive way.
@@PrueHalliwellTV p
@@MsJubjubbird Nah. Emma sang way more than Mel C on Forever
Victoria was really feelin’ it on this performance !! Go girl !!
While pregnant! QUEEN
Why does Love thing slap so hard? The choreography in Love Thing has to be the best of any Spice Girls performance!
I like the Istanbul dance routine. I think it's simple and more fun

Reason being now that Geri was no longer part of the group they definitely were able to spice up their choreography more.
At the time, they said when Geri left it actually allowed them to sing more and do more challenging choreography.
Love Thing snaps with a band, not the cd version. And I love the routine.
I LOVE how they sound as a 4 some in this show. And Vic's voice is VERY well rested.
These five ordinary British girls conquered the world in budget costumes and with simple choreography. No bad language, sleaze or massive egos. Just talent, relatability and total belief in their girl power message. 🥰🇬🇧
Wow! What a perfect description!!
amen sister.
Geri wearing a figure skater costume she got at a costume shop on discount for like 5 quid in the Wannabe video - ICONIC.
They may as well have arrived from the depths of outer space, that's how fast and explosive their global conquering was!
Except Victoria , she had labels 💙💙💙 love them
Mel B and Victoria are badass! They were pregnant in this performance and they still performed well, singing and dancing at the same time 🙌
Soo true
This arrangement of "Love Thing" has always been (and probably always will be) my favourite version of the song. 💜
Best non-single track in their catalogue 🙌🏻
Never Give Up On the Good Times for me but this is up there.
This could have been a single perfectly
Little did you know that this was the label's 1st choice for their debut single, but the girls fought for Wannabe and Wannabe won ! 🤷♂️
Sean R I would also put “Something kinda funny” up there
CAN WE TALK ABOUT ✨VICTORIA KILLING IT✨
This seems like yesterday!! I remember not eating during lunchtime at school so I can save up my money to buy their casette tapes! And now it's been 2 decades! :( How I miss my girls!!
Ruth Alarcon They're going on world tour in 3 days. :D
Same here 🙈❤
So sweet!!! I love reading this.
Can you imagine Emma was just 20 ?? Gosh they were soooo professional ! Love them and it's not just a love thing ❤
i love the spice girls❤️❤️😭😭. seeing how much victoria is enjoying herself, this whole performance just makes me so happy
Possibly one of the BEST pop albums of the 90s...and thats because it was simply awesome on so many levels
2:01-2:11 Victoria sings and then the others join in harmonisation. Their voices work so well together wow
This song is pure girl power!
Pure LIVE performance with vocal and dancing.
O ano é 2024 e ainda toca o som das divas Spice Girls ❤❤Mel C❤
I was there with my daughter, now she has two daughters of her own! Where did the time go? But these songs and performance... Timeless!
❤
Really wish the studio version of this song was as much of an absolute banger. That band is on fire!
Não só a banda tá pegando fogo.🎶💃🔥
i speed it up to 105% on amazing slow downer app
Talento, Belleza, Gran Show. solo extraño a Geri, amo a las Spice Girls, a las 5

Spice album it’s such a fucking masterpiece, my mom played to me at the age of 06 and i Love then, and still do know, 17 years later
I freakin love their live performances!
My childhood!!!!!!!!, so grateful to have lived this in real time
wooow Emma, props to u girl, all tighten in that corset and be singing the best she can
Those little girls in the audience are about 30 years old now
It’s so wild to think about
Yep! Im 29 now haha!
Yes I'm 31
lol me
30 years haha
Exactly! haha 31 this summer. My whole childhood was the Spice Girls.
The breathe mel b takes at 3:49 is my favorite part of the video next to Victoria's karate chops
1:44-1:48 is the ONE move that Mel B did that made me a fan since Spice World ❤️❤️
