On November 7 1997 The Spice Girls Fired Their Manager And Mentor Simon Fuller. According To Their Various Autobiographies It Was Mainly Geri And Melanie B Who Pushed For Fuller’s Dismissal. They Cited That He Had Become Too Controlling By Restricting Their Personal And Artistic Freedom And They Accused Him Of Using Divide And Rule Tactics To Get His Own Way. The Group Quickly Found The Burden Of Managing Themselves Time Consuming So They Assigned Various Responsibilities To Each Member Of The Group. They Later Built Their Own Team Headed By Nancy Phillips To Deal With Their Affairs. In Early 1998 The Spice Girls Embarked Upon A Sell-Out 102 Date World Tour Covering Europe And North America. The "Spiceworld" Tour Kicked Off In Dublin Ireland On February 24 1998 Before Moving Onto Mainland Europe And Then Returning To Britain For 14 Gigs At Wembley Arena And Birmingham’s NEC Arena. It Was Here That Recordings Were Made For A Planned Live Album Which Was Confirmed By The Group "We've Shown Everyone We Can Do The Business On Stage So Now We Want To Do A Live Album For Fans". Despite Masters Of The Recording Being Made The Idea Was Eventually Dropped. At The End Of The European Leg Of The Tour Geri Halliwell Missed The Final 2 Shows In Oslo Norway Reportedly Due To Gastroenteritis. However Rumours Quickly Circulated That Geri Had Become Disenchanted With The Group And Was Planning To Leave – And After She Also Missed A Performance Of Viva Forever On The National Lottery Show Rumours Began To Intensify. On May 31 1998 Geri Halliwell Announced Her Departure From The Spice Girls. Through Her Solicitor She Issued The Following Statement "Sadly I Would Like To Confirm That I Have Left The Spice Girls. This Is Because Of Differences Between Us. I'm Sure The Group Will Continue To Be Successful And I Wish Them All The Best... PS I'll Be Back." Halliwell Claimed That She Was Suffering From Exhaustion And Wanted To Take Time Out. However Rumours Persisted That She Had Fallen Out With One Of The Other Girls reportedly Melanie B . Although This Has Never Been Confirmed The Biographies Of Victoria Beckham Geri Halliwell And Melanie B All Hint That This Was The Case. Geri’s Departure From The Group Shocked Fans And Became One Of The Biggest Entertainment News Stories Of The Year Making News Headlines The World Over. The Four Remaining Girls Were Adamant Though That The Group Would Carry On And That Their Approaching North American Tour Would Continue As Normal. Geri Halliwell's Departure Threw Most Of The Group's Plans Into Disarray. It Was Cited As The Reason The Planned Live Album Was Cancelled. It Also Meant That Most Of The Material The Girls Had Recorded Throughout The First Half Of 1998 At Dublin's Windmill Lane Studios With Long Time Collaborators Richard Stannard And Matt Rowe Was Eventually Scrapped. A Rumoured Animated Venture By Disney Also Failed To Materialize. The Spice Girls First Release As A Foursome Was Viva Forever The Last Single Taken Off Spiceworld. The Video For The Single Was Made Before Geri's Departure And Features The Girls In Animated Form – A Decision Made Because There Was No Time To Produce A Video Due To The Heavy World Tour Schedule. Originally Planned As A Double A-Side With Never Give Up On The Good Times The Idea Was Dropped For Several Reasons Mainly Due To Time Restraints since There Was No Time To Re-Record And Edit Out Geri's Vocals Or Make A Video For The Track . Whilst On Tour In America The Group Continued To Record New Material And They Released The New Song Goodbye At Christmas 1998. Written Before Her Departure The Song Was Nevertheless Seen As A Tribute To Geri And When It Topped The British Chart It Became Their Third Consecutive Christmas Number 1 – Equalling The Record Previously Set By The Beatles. The Song Also Became One Of The Most Successful Songs Of The 1990's In Canada Where It Stayed At Number 1 For 16 Weeks. In November 2000 The Spice Girls Released Their New Album Forever. Sporting A New Edgier R&B Sound The Album Received A Lukewarm Response And Achieved Only A Fraction Of The Success Of Its Two Best Selling Predecessors. In The US It Peaked At Number 39 On The Billboard Top 200. In The UK The Album Was Released The Same Week As Westlife’s Coast To Coast Album And The Chart Battle Was Widely Reported By The Media. In The End Westlife Who Had Embarked On A Massive Promotional Tour Outsold The Spice Girls By A Margin Of 3 To 1 To Take The Top Spot. The Lead Single From The Album The Double A-Side Holler / Let Love Lead The Way Did Have Some Success – It Became The Group's Ninth Number 1 Single In The UK. However The Song Failed To Break Onto The Billboard Hot 100 Instead Peaking At Number 7 On The Bubbling Under Chart. However Holler Did Peak At Number 31 On The Hot Dance Music/Club Play In 2001. Many Credit The Low Success Of The Album Down To The Fact The Group Did Very Little Promotion In The Run Up To Its Worldwide Release.The Only Major Performance Of The Lead Single Came At The MTV Europe Music Awards In November 2000 And A Few TV Performances Aside The Group Did Little Meaningful Promotion. In An Attempt To Cover More Ground The Girls Split Up And Covered Different Countries Separately For Example Victoria And Emma Headed To America While Melanie B And C Concentrated On Europe. Further Planned Single Releases Off The Album Never Materialised. Promo Singles Of Tell Me Why Weekend Love And If You Wanna Have Some Fun Came Into Circulation But The Forever Project Was Abandoned In Early 2001 As The Girls Each Began To Concentrate On Solo Careers. In The Years Since The Media Speculated Endlessly About Possible Reunions. On June 28th 2007 The Spice Girls including Geri Halliwell Reformed And Gave A Press Conference To Announce A Tour Plus A Greatest Hits CD And A Documentary That Were Both Released By The End Of The Year. A New Single Was Released On The 19th November 2007 Called Headlines Friendship Never Ends To Moderate Acclaim.

Writing And Inspiration "Wannabe" Was Co-Written By The Spice Girls Richard Stannard And Matt Rowe. Stannard And Rowe Also Co-Produced The Track. The Song's Central Emphasis Is The Union And Solidarity Of Friends An Implicit Challenge To Any "wannabe" Lovers. Stannard And Rowe Began Writing With The Group In January 1995 And The First Song They Wrote Was Called "Feed Your Love" A Slow Soulful Song Which Was Eventually Recorded And Mastered For The Spice Album – But Not Used Because It Was Considered "too Rude" For Their Target Audience. Having Completed That One The Girls Wanted To Write Something A Bit More Uptempo. "Wannabe" A 21 Second Sample From The Spice Girls' First Single A Dance-Pop Song About Union And Solidarity Between Friends. Rowe Set Up A Drum Loop On His MPC 3000 Drum Machine Which Was Quite Fast But Also Had A Strutting Quality About It. For Stannard The Rhythm Brought To Mind The Spirit Of John Travolta And Olivia Newton-John Performing "You're The One That I Want" In Grease. Then The Girls Added Their Own Contributions Into The Mix. Rowe Commented "They Made All These Different Bits Up Not Thinking In Terms Of Verse Chorus Bridge Or What Was Going To Go Where Just Coming Up All These Sections Of Chanting Rapping And Singing. And Then We Just Sewed It Together." Halliwell Wrote In The Group's First Official Book Girl Power! That Melanie Brown And Emma Bunton Came Up With The Song's Chorus And Was In That Moment That They Realised They Had Something Good. The Group And The Producers Were Working All Week On The Song But Only Half Was Completed By Friday Night So It Was Decided To Finish It The Following Week.

It Also Won Best Single At The 1997 BRIT Awards. Critical Reception "Wannabe" Received Mixed Reviews From Music Critics. Allmusic's Reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine Said "none Of The Girls Have Great Voices But They Do Exude Personality And Charisma Which Is What Drives Bouncy Dance-Pop Like 'Wannabe' With Its Ridiculous 'zig-A-Zig-Ahhh' Hook Into Pure Pop Guilty Pleasure". Christina Kelly From Rolling Stone Called The Spice Girls "another Bubblegum Pop Group That Offer A Watered-Down Mix Of Hip-Hop And Cheesy Pop Balladry Brought Together By A Manager With A Marketing Concept" Adding "Spice Girls' Idea Of Power Seems To Be Flaunting That They Are All That But The Lyrics Make Alanis Morissette's Sound Like Patti Smith's. A Few Nuggets 'If You Want To Get With Me Better Make It Fast...' Despite Their Pro-Woman Posing The Girls Don't Get Bogged Down By Anything Deeper Than Mugging For Promo Shots And Giving Out Tips On Getting Boys In Bed." In A Poll Conducted By The Magazine To Identify The Ten Most Annoying Songs This Song Was Ranked Eighth. Matt Diehl From Entertainment Weekly Also Noticed The Combination Of Genres Describing "Wannabe" As "more A Compendium Of Music Styles From ABBA-Style Choruses To Unconvincing Hip Hop Than An Actual Song" But Added That "there's Something Endearing About This Goofily Formulaic Euro Pop". Sputnikmusic In A Review For Spice Called The Lyrics "dire" And Wondered "how Could Parents Feed This To Their 10-Year-Olds? The Album's Lyrics Are So Heavily Laden With Smut I'm Surprised They Even Let Their Kids Have The Album" And Then Used "Wannabe" As An Example Saying "The Gist Of The Song Is Basically Get Your Act Together And Treat Me Right Or There's No Show. Not To Mention The Famous Zig-A-Zig-Ha... Try Replacing It With The Word 'sex' In The Lyrics And See How It All Suddenly Makes Perfect Sense" Adding "this Track Is Built Around An Infectious Keyboard Riff And So Profoundly Annoying You'll Want To Rip Your Toenails Off Just So It Will Stop. But It's Also Really Catchy Which Makes You Hate It Even More." Another Review From "Sputnikmusic" Said "The Lively Bubble-Gum Pop Of The Spice Girls Embodied A Gender Not Willing To Lie Down And Their Debut Single "Wannabe" Acted As A Proverbial Kick In The Pants For Male Chauvinists Worldwide." In The Simpsons Episode "Maximum Homerdrive" Homer Plays The Song In The Truck And Refers To It As The Ultimate Truck-Driver Song. The Song Was Also Used In The O.C. Episode "The Case Of The Franks" In The Episode "Stand Up And Holler" Of The CBS Crime Drama Cold Case 19 And In The Finale Of The Fourth Season Of One Tree Hill.
