Spice Girls Picture
In March 1994, advertisements were placed in The Stage newspaper asking: "R U 18-23 with the ability to sing/dance? R U streetwise, ambitious, outgoing and determined?" Hundreds of girls responded to the ads. The applicants were whittled down to a final five which consisted of Melanie C, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Brown, Victoria Adams and Michelle Stephenson, who combined to form an all female group called "Touch." In June, during the group's earliest recording session, Michelle Stephenson was forced to leave due to commitment issues. She was replaced by Abigail Kis and then by Emma Bunton after Bunton's singing tutor had recommended her to the other girls. From this point up to March 1995 the girls lived together in a small house in Maidenhead where they worked on demos and practiced dance routines. After a successful showcase performance for music critics and producers in October, the group decided to fire their original management, who they cited as controlling and too domineering.

Say You'll Be There Lyrics

Spice Girls

I'm giving you everything
All that joy can bring this i swear
Last time that we had this conversation
I decided we should be friends
Yeah, but now we're going round in circles
Tell me will this deja vu never end?
Now you tell me that you've fallen in love,
Well i never ever thought that would be
This time you gotta take it easy throwing far
too much emotion at me
But any fool can see they're falling,
I gotta make you understand
Im giving you everything all that joy can bring this I swear
And all that i want from you is a promise you will be there
Say you'll be there
Won't you sing it with me
If you put two and two together you
Will see what this friendship is for
Oh, if you can't work this equation then
I guess I'll have to show you the door
There is no need to say you love me,
It would be better left unsaid
I'm giving you everything
All that joy can bring this I swear
And all that I want from you
Is a promise you will be there
Yeah I want you
Any fool can see they're falling
I gotta make you understand
I'll give you everything on this I swear,
Just promise you'll always be there
I'm giving you everything
All that joy can bring this I swear
And all that I want from you
Is a promise you will be there
