5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice song, August 24, 1999

By A Customer

I think this is a beautiful yet sad song, and very nice to listen to. You don't have to like the Spice Girls to love this song...I think it's for everyone...very moving.

3.0 out of 5 stars A guilty pleasure, November 25, 2003

I am by no means a Spice Girl fan. I always thought they were a joke...a really bad joke. However I must admit that the girl group put out the occasional catchy song that I can't get out of my head. "Viva Forever" is the only decent song that the group churned out. "Viva Forever" is a stunning piano ballad that just didn't catch on with US audiences back in '98. I really didn't want to waste several bucks on an album full of annoying pop ditties so I opted to get the import single for the song (note to US record companies: bring back the singles format!). Unlike on the group's previous singles, The Spice Girls don't try to overcompensate their minimal vocal talents (with the exception of Melanie C.) by oversinging. I really didn't enjoy the Tony Rich remix of "Viva Forever". I thought the remix took away the lovely melodies and the melancholy feel of the song. The instrumental was even more pointless and useless. If "Viva Forever" was to be remixed, I would have wanted it to be remixed as a dance song by Hex Hector, like he did with Melanie C.'s "I Turn to You" (from her debut solo album "Northern Star").

5.0 out of 5 stars Harmonies are excellent, my how the Spice Girls have grown!, February 17, 1999

VIVA FOREVER is one of those songs that have the Lyrics and the music to stay in your head for days! The harmonies are rich and the production is great and not overpowering. Most important, it is real and the charts need more Pop hits such as this . "GOODBYE" continues this trend with similar structure and hooks, and I continue to try and pick out "thats MEL B" OR "HEY 'Tor's got a great voice". Its on Heavy Rotation at my home.
