Best SG Christmas No.1

I think Goodbye is my favourite song of the three. 2 Become 1 feels more wintery and seasonal though.

Too Much I appreciate more in time but that might be because I've played out the other two.

 

[RJN]

1. 2 Becomes 1






2. Too Much


3. Goodbye

 

[jivafox]

Goodbye

 

[Pipo]

Headlines
OH.

but in all seriousness, 2 Become 1. I think a quick rank would be:

1. 2 Become 1
2. Goodbye
(3. Sleigh Ride)
4. Too Much
(5. Christmas Wrapping)

 

[AGinAg (37)]

2 Become 1 was everything Christmas 1996.

That and One and One

And Unbreak My Heart

It holds the fondest memories.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Too Much was total meh. Not for me.

Goodbye was cute and easily completed their trio of top tier power ballads (2B1 and VF being the others).

 

[Dark Carnival]

It’s between Too Much and Goodbye for me. But how gorgeous are all three songs?

 

[Iguana]

2 Become 1 or Goodbye for me. They're two of my favourite SG songs

I always found Too Much a little weak by comparison

 

[lolly]

Too Much is quite easily the runt of the litter for me

 

[Pipo]

Too Much got lucky it got to #1. At the height of their fame, they had another #1 with SUYL, the album was about to be released along with the movie but it's not even their best song

 

[Rita]

2 Become 1 for me as it was at a point when everything they touched turned to gold, and it was just such a fabulous time for a female pop group.

 

[RS]

Technically Too Much is the worst but there’s something about it that makes me like it the most.

[ButterTart]

2 Become 1 was everything Christmas 1996.

That and One and One

And Unbreak My Heart

It holds the fondest memories.

'96 was such a banger of a Christmas. I can't listen to 2 Become 1 at any other time of year because of how instantly Christmassy it makes me.

 

[Kratz]

2 Become 1 is imperial.

Goodbye is a really gorgeous song and amongst their best.

 

[Suedehead]

Too Much is shite

 

[octophone]

2 Become 1 was the one that turned me Spicy. I liked the idea of them more than the execution before that but it was obvious on one listen that 2 Become 1 was a perfect pop ballad and the production was excellent. I fell straight for it.

 

[Sheena]

I always respected that in 2 Become 1 they realised their "mistake" in "boys and girls look good together" and lopped it off. Plus finally giving Victoria something to do...

 

[octophone]

They all look amazing in the video too. These things mattered in the pop universe of the mid 90s, especially given that it was The Box that effectively broke Wannabe. But it would have been a fruitless endeavour without such a great song.

 

[dUb]

Goodbye is to me a more sophisticated composition and ultimately a better song than the other two but I think nostalgia and the glow around that magical first era has me leaning towards 2 Become 1

Too Much has its charms but is on a different (lower) level

 

[VoR]

Agree with the general consensus.

My main problem with Too Much, other than it simply not being as good as the other two, is that it really brings out some of the least pleasant aspects of Mel C's voice.

 

[Pipo]

It was so obvious SpiceWorld was largely tailored to show off Mel C's voice by giving her adlibs (And the hard bits) in almost every single song.

 

[straightorbroken]

2 Become 1 evokes something truly special. The others did not ascend nearly as high.

If they had gone with Viva Forever instead for Xmas '97, oh what could have been! but maybe that Spanish vibe wasn't apt for cold weather.

 

[straightorbroken]

They clearly should have delayed its release for the warmer climes and given them Good Times instead.

[funky]

Funnily enough if I HAD to choose I’d say these were their 3 best songs.

 

[Halli]

Funnily enough if I HAD to choose I’d say these were their 3 best songs.

I think their ballads are their best too, but Viva Forever trumps these three

 

[Nancy]

I hadn't realised Bob Monkhouse was still alive to see 2 Become 1 being released as a single.

 

[Nancy]

He actually lived long enough to see the release of Forever. Well I never!

 

[Finn]

Listening to Forever is actually what killed him

 

[Rita]

Just listened to Goodbye and I must admit it just hits you in the feels more than the other 2 so I am changing my vote.

 

[Inner Smile]

Goodbye is a really special song

When the plates are smashing about and Mel B belts out "You'll always be someone's BABY!" Well it just blows you away
