Ok, so it's not the best song in the world, but it's still pretty good! With some songs you hear then and you wanna move, and this is one of them. Perhaps I have a weird taste in music, but I liked it. I do, however, have to agree with the previous review; I like Geri Halliwell and Melanie C a bit better.

Melanie G starting her semi solo career with "Word up" was a great idea! The song is really good and I love it!

Well...the cd arrived earlier than expected. I thought it would be in better conditions.Anyway it was very cheap so still worth it.

1. Word Up - 10/10
Great song. Love it.

2. Sophisticated Lady - 9/10
With alot of spice puns, and Emma in the backround, it's a great song. Catchy.

3. Word Up (Tim's Dance remix) - 2/10
Hardly any different from the original. If anything, he made it less of a dance song.

4. Word Up Video - 10/10
Very interesting, and different. Go Mel B, or shopuld I say, Mel G?

Well, it seems that all of those Spice's are trying some solo work, and to be quite honest, Melanie G's stuff is the blandest. She has tryed to turn into some rapper/R&B g-girl. And she's not. Just because you have the names Timbaland (producer of "Word Up") and Missy Elliot (producer and guest vocals on "I Want You Back") attatched to your product does not make you an R&B queen. Granted, the song isn't horrible, it's just nothing special. Fans of the original version by Cameo will probably be disappointed. Myself, I don't like either version that much. The only reason that I kept this single is because of the CD-Rom music video - which is totally cool. For all you die-hard Spice fans, Emma Bunton (Baby Spice) does back up vocals on the bonus track "Sophisticated Lady".

If you like The Spice Girls, your bound to love this remade version of Word Up by Scary Spice. Also avalible on the Austin Powers Soundtrack, it'll make you relive the 70/80's with a bang!

I'm a big Mel G. and Spice Girls fan, and if you love her or SGs you MUST have this! The video is kickass too!

I guess Melanie G is doing O.K. for a solo career.But She is changing her personality to impress her backup vocalist from her previous single,"I Want you Back".Missy Elliot is R&B but Melanie G will not admit she is a pop singer and she is not the best rap and hip-hop singer in the world.I think Cameo's "Word Up" is 2 stars better than this.The music video is O.K.

This single, is one of the worst by far! Cameo's hit "Word Up" was far better than this single, could ever become. Geri Halliwell's single Mi Chico Latino, even hit the #1 spot, whereas Melanie G.'s barely made it into the top 20. Not only is the song boring...the music video is twice as bad! I definately agree with the below review!

This is the worst of the Spice Girls solo attepmts. I realy enjoyed her previous single 'I Want You Back', but this song is absolute garbage. Her voice is awful and I think she will be the only solo Spice that won't survive on her own. The first single was only good because of Missy Elliot. Buy Melanie C or Geri Halliwell instead for solo Spice. If you must have this song, buy the original version by Cameo.
