Spice Girls Album: “Mama, Pt. 1”

I really likr the song 'Mama'. It's a really nice song dedicated to our mothers because as much as we may hate admitting it...they do help us in everything we do somehow. The remix is sooo good too. 'Who Do You Think You Are?' is a great song too and I know almost all of the moves to it. I learned them from the Brits (HeHe) 'Baby Come Round' is a very good b-side too. It's one of my favorites. I just wish it was released in the US becuase I had to pay like $10 more here than I would have at Camelot or something. OH well. I got the single either ways didn't I?

I don't belive that these fans are sending bad complements.I really do love the spice girls and nothing is going to stop me from loving them. My name is Ashley and I will complement the spicwe girls of thier great songs the recorded.I really do love you spice girls.

This is a fabulous single!If you enjoyed the songs "Wannabe" or "Too Much" you'll love the songs on this album!

This double a side single mama / who do you think you are are both smash hits in the UK.

Don't know why they didn't release it as singles in the states.

you get an unreleased song baby come around and a remix of mama.

This double A-Side single is the last from the Spice Girls' smash hit debut album "Spice." The songs are pretty good and they hit #1 on the UK charts for 3 weeks. Unfortunately, the sales speak more for the single than the actual songs can sing for themselves. Whereas songs like "Wannabe" and "2 Become 1" were very addictive, the Spice from this single wears away pretty quickly. Let's have a synopsis of the single, shall we?

1) MAMA (RADIO VERSION)- This sweet sounding song dedicated to mothers around the world is flavored slightly with R&B, but is more of a pop ballad. On the single, this track is more tolerable than it is on the album since the radio edit is almost a minute and a half shorter than the album version and doesn't get so boring.

2) WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE (RADIO VERSION)- This pop dance song is very catchy and adds a bit of that addictiveness that is present in many tracks from "Spice." After a while, the beat gets boring and the whole song soon gets forgotten. The vocals are okay, but the lyrics are not as catchy.

3) BABY COME ROUND- The exclusive B-Side of this single is flavored with a very R&Bish sound, and Mel B does a catchy rap bit in the middle. Mel C provides strong and sweet vocals. This song is good, but doesn't match up to the quality of some of the previous B-Sides.

4) MAMA (BIFFCO MIX)- This remix of "Mama" adds a bit of flavor to the boring beat of the original song. It doesn't mix it up to be dance or uptempo at all, but it enhances the boring guitar/violin sound of "Mama." All in all, "Mama" never brought out a remix to truly redeem itself.

This single is okay, but if you're looking for an early single by the Spice Girls, one like "Wannabe" or "Say You'll Be There" stands out to be a more substantial choice.
