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.

woah! havent heard this song in ages, but they did a pretty good cover! i used to love a spice girls when i was younger. i remember dancing to it during my elementary talent competition. sunny and sooyoung (especially) surprised me w/ their english. their english sounds fine here. i dont know what ppl are complaining about o.O of course covers are NEVER gonna sound like the original. just appreciate what they’re doing.

lol spice girls ^^ brings back childhood memories :p they did pretty well, although taeyeon and seohyun have the strongest voices in snsd, I think tiffany has the prettiest voice :3 Also, I knew Yuri could rap, but didn’t know tiffany and sooyoung could, too ^^ would like to see sooyoung sing more in the future ^^ her english has improved ALOT since factory girl days :p

That was horrible. =(  SooYoung’s voice sounds like a carbon copy of Jessica’s. And what was 0:36? And 1:27? As nice as it was to hear Spice Girls again, this version was really pitchy and flat.

Bad cover D: I mean, their English is okay. But i just seem to dislike their highpitched voices. dasuyhdguy. Spice Girls was the real shit back then, i was a huge fan o/ No SNSD can beat them.

Aren’t they tired after performing from MuBank?
I am amazed how they are still as energetic as ever..
And their singing just as good as always..
I really like them doing English songs cover..
They are showing that they can sing in English well too..
How I love listening to JeTi singing Eng songs..

Of course they can’t be Spice Girls, they’re SNSD. The cover was good in my opinion, hope there’s more covers of Spice Girls. I mean, damn.. it definitely brought back some good memories. I love you baby spice! smile

they’re cute.

whoohoo!
I didn’t like it at all. Their cute-sounding voices didn’t fit the song at all. It sounded like 12 year old girls singing karaoke at a slumber party.

hahah.. spice girls. 90s….

 
dorsett60's avatar

i guess i was expecting better, but it was still really good…!!

sooyoung + the rap = awesomeness..!!!

lol, that was really cute 8D
I bet if they came to the US they’d do mad good.
especially because they’re pretty and such .____.

 
naivenostalgia's avatar

I like SNSD, but this cover was kind of awkward at times. I think it could have been really good with more fine tuning.

 
sweetheart18*'s avatar

i don’t think the spice girls were that big back then b/c HOT was dominating the pop scene. i dont even remember haering about them bc i was so concentrated on HOT. haha maybe thats why

 
Harlequin's avatar

UGH this is the only female band i hate!!! they are very annoying and seem too stuck up. Hopefully their careers will follow the spice girls, where they are famous for like 15 minutes and then no one cares about them.

The Americans sounded so nasal. And yeah, Sunny and Soo Young’s english was good. They all sounded like they were reading from a book though. They pronounced every R and didn’t really let themselves go with the song.

 
Tite Lotus's avatar

Nice cover, It’s nice to hear Soo Young sing for once (^_-)
Their english is really good
