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.

Nice cover =)
REALLY nice. I was such a SG fan back then so it was double pleasant cover for me.

By the way - Koreans say “R”-sound differently from English-speaking people, right? Russians do, and it was HORRIBLY difficult to say “I really-really-really wanna”. Sunny and Sooyoung seem to have some problem with it, too =)

I think Tiffany did the best…
and I thought Jessica came from the US too? Her english wasnt as good at the beginning as Tiffany’s…maybe Jessica has an accent?

Haha… “If you want to be my lover… You got to get with my friend!”

I remember Scary Spice saying “Everyone needs a little zig-a-zig-ah.”

What the hell is a zig-a-zig-ah, Scary Spice! LOL!

I don’t really like this song, but they did OK . Maybe, they were sending some   hidden-messages to SG Wannabe members, you know like the Jap-zero plane thingee . Jessica sounds very tired, maybe from all the scolding she gave others . I call her icy-princess coz she’s as dangerous as a princess driving a truck on an icy road . I still like her coz she’s very pretty and so she has the licence to scold .———Tiffany forgot to wear her bra ! Coz no bra-strap over her shoulders .Someone should pull her elastic blouse, to see whether it has been pinned down properly, like what Yoona did .———My petdog ,Tiffunny ,  was so busy guarding my house that she forgot to wear her panties and bra . All the neighbouring dogs were howling like mad . Jo-ahhae .

SNSD is more like ANTI-spice girls. Spice Girls were all about female empowerment. SNSD is more about male pleasing….ew.
