SNSD Wannabe Spice Girls?

On today's Super Junior's Kiss the Radio session, Tiffany, Sunny, Jessica and Sooyoung of SNSD performed a cover of the Spice Girls' smash hit "Wannabe". I think this is the first time I've heard any kpop artist cover this song, and it kind of makes you wonder why there aren't more Spice Girls covers. I mean the Spice Girls were huge back then. Although besides this song, my only other memory of them is the part in their movie "Spice World" where aliens visited earth, and greeted the girls by squeezing one of the Spice Girls' boobies. Good times. Furthermore, "Wannabe" is a catchy upbeat song, and it also sends the positive message of "chicks before di..." well, you know what goes there. "If you want to be my lover, you gotta get with my friends"? Yes please!

Overall, the cover was great, and I was very impressed with Sooyoung's and Sunny's English.

Thanks prot0980 for the video.

SOOYOUNG<3 I like their rendition. It’s a cutesy version of Wannabe. And it’s good that they did a cover of an easy english song. ^^ Makes their english more understandable. :3 SOOYOUNG<3

Not bad. But definitely not great. Haven’t heard this song in a while though…

There aren’t any covers because they can’t do the British accent properly.. That’s why this cover sounds a lil strange! ..EunHyuk! <3 ~ x X x ~

i agree with BOO this does kind of suck
its soo high pitched i cant explain its kind of annoying
the harmonizing isnt here all over the place
they dont seem serioous thats probably why

Their english is good. I wonder why people whine a lot about english. I can hear them clearly n it’s great….  It’s refreshing to hear Spice Girls’ song being covered…..

@24 What do you mean? Even the Spice Girls themselves didn’t sing Wannabe with a British accent.
