Originally written about ending a relationship, but when Geri left, they changed the lyrics and made it about her leaving the group; it's the girls way of saying goodbye, which is why the lyrics say, "I know you're gone, you said you're but I can still feel you here" and the rooms where they see people "frozen" are the memories frozen in time.
The Spice Girls have a nice catalog of songs. From many catchy pop tunes, to slower, melodic ballads. I'd like you to react to Say You'll Be There, Too Much, Let Love Lead The Way and Holler - Melanie C elevated those songs with her vocals into heights they would've never reached without her. 🤗
Hi Lee that's how the starting of Goodbye may have started off but it was written by the Spice Girls and him. They write all of their own songs. I believe a few lyrics were changed to include Geri as the mood. Everyone knows it as the Goodbye to Geri and they used it on the 2007/200 return tour to highlight her as rejoining, she also cried a bit when a fan sang it to her. It's always a song that everyone thinks of Ginger with but they also wanted to try a Rnb hip hop album which they put out. Their 1st two albums are the best. Yes do the lineup of singles and rare tracks reactions. :)
This is one of those songs that the origins change all the time lol. However, I do remember the girls saying Geri actually wrote an early version of this herself and then the girls had input. I also heard it was about the passing of Princess Diana originally. The song was scrapped then brought back for the third album with some re-writing and it’s defo about Geri. The girls have said so much more recently.
Also they released the single of Goodbye along with some live recordings from their Wembley 1998 tour which was a few years before the 3rd album Forever came out. It's the last song on Forever. :)
@@infin8reactions yeah enjoyed it a lot. 90’s music is the best Era. Would love to see more 90’s artists. This is when mtv is so popular. Cool Britania!!! Please react to spice girls 1st ever live performance at the brits!!! Im from the other side of the world which is Philippines but i love british music :)
After that Geri Halliwell reply to them in her debut single "look at me" as she is burrying her iconic ginger spice figure. Like they said in first place frienship never ends... after that they all got togather...
Ps.. please react to if u can’t dance live from Istanbul. It’s iconic. It’s one of my fav songs by them. I would suggest listening to the album version first. It’s super mid 90s actually stands up well to this day but the live version for Istanbul was re-imagined as a rock song and it’s soooooo good. Please please please react to it. The band is sooo good. 😊😊😊😊😊
It would need to have the full intro! I love it!!!! Idk why they did HD but started it at the song without the Awesome SPICE screen and exploding fireworks with them all still in a cool pose like Dolls.
@@berealsupportive2744 they need to release the entire concert in HD. I remember getting the Live In Istanbul VHS when it was released but then on Christmas Day (in the UK on ITV) the actual full concert was show on terrestrial tv. Even as a kid I felt so ripped off!
More recently at the Spice Girls' 2019 reunion concert series (without Victoria), they mentioned (shall I say "acknowledged") as an intro to this song as written about Geri Haliwell's leaving (check out the last day at Wembley where it was spoken) =) PS. Interested what song of their you're reacting to next ü This month is the 25th anniversary of "Stop" if so inclined: whether of the official music video or their live performance at Victoria's Secret. Cheers.
Just found your channel recently and I love your reactions 🙂 if I may, I'd like to recommend Hanson. Their first single came out 1997 and they're still making music today 🙂
@@slashthe2nd they've consistently making music over the years but they lost a lot of spotlight when they left their record company and went independent. Sad that's how the music industry works
Actually this song was part of the writing sessions for the groups second album “Spiceworld” released in 1997, Geri being one of the writers. Not sure, but some say they wrote it because of a tragic accident in the UK at the time, can’t remember what it was, and this was sort of a tribute to the victims, one time Melanie C said the song was just about ending a relationship. But the song never made it to the final track list of the album. Fast forward from November 97 when the album was released to May 98 when Geri left the band in the middle of a tour, when the girls were in the US, they changed a few lyrics and made it to be a farewell to Geri, releasing the song in December 98.
You were actually correct on both fronts, as the song was reworked and dedicated to Geri after she left. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodbye_(Spice_Girls_song)#Background
Pop music in the 90's compared to now is embarrassing. As someone who despises Pop music these days, during the 90's it was a different animal. I suppose as a 33yr old now who's into proper music, Metal, Hardcore, Pop Punk etc... as a child growing up during the 90's the first single I ever bought with my pocket money was Blue by Eiffel 65 and although I wasn't into the Spice Girls I can certainly appreciate what they did for Pop music. I suppose it also helped that Mel C is an avid Liverpool fan haha!, They absolute shit all over the girl bands that followed them. Autotuned garbage!
This was the last Spice Girls CD I ever bought. When Geri left, she took the very essence of the band with her. They really should have let their final Wembley Stadium concert be their final performance as a band and 'Goodbye' as their last release. It all went downhill after this, and so fast. They weren't even recognisable as the Spice Girls by the end.

Well said. It's true too so the place where he read about it should be updated. ☺

Song was about Geri leaving
In the last world tour they told Geri on stage the song was about her.
So it was always about her.
Sí, desde que se hizo oficial. Pero no al principio antes de irse

Hey there, welcome to the channel, I have a Hanson reaction on my hard drive, I'll root it out for ya 😁
Are they?
Last i heard they were reuniting, might be wrong

If I remember correctly, they tributed this song to a young fan who died.
You were actually correct on both fronts, as the song was reworked and dedicated to Geri after she left.

It’s about Geri, Ginger Spice’s departure from the group
Hey Lee, i paypaled you to do a Madonna reaction. :-}

Me da igual lo que diga la gente, la peor es la poses. A ella no le dedicaron na. Y a Geri 3 canciones
