I'm sorry, but who really wants to listen to five Debbie Gibsons? To me, this album symbolizes all that is wrong with the music world: emptyheaded pop which is popular because it caters to the lowest common denominator. The Spice Girls don't bring anything to the table: their material isn't original or innovative, they can't dance and don't play any insturments. Plus, all of their songs are cowritten. As far as their singing goes, I'd like to see how many seconds these ladies would last in a vocal contest with En Vogue. Spice is disgustingly cloying ear candy that will leave a bitter aftertaste in about 3 years when you realize how bad it was.
