DAMN I HATE YOU. I wanted to make this thread too while listening to Downtown yesterday but decided to procrastinate till the next day.
I LOOOVVVEEEE Emma Bunton. She managed to carve out her own sound and experience success, unlike the other Spice Girls. I have Free Me and it's one of the albums I have listened to a billion times in the past 2 years. It's a stunning album with every track gold (except I'll Be There, IMO) and it has a strong atmosphere. It's just one of the best albums in my collection. Lately I have been listening to it again, gearing up for Life In Mono.
Her solo album I haven't seen sold in many shops, gotta get it someday. From there, the one track that amazes me is "Take My Breath Away". It's so simple and serene and heavenly and divine. "What Took You So Long" is so sexy yet independent and definitely a favourite. The Pokemon song was quite good too.
She does have a tendency for dreadful album covers. I detest her pose in Free Me, but Life In Mono takes the cake for the worst expression and angle for an album cover. It makes her look so ugly when she's actually gorgeous.
Her best video I say "Maybe" for the unique choreography and colours used. "Take My Breath Away" is pretty too. However, her best songs for me would be "Free Me", "What Took You So Long", "Take My Breath Away", "Maybe", "You Are", "Something So Beautiful", "Breathing", Crickets Sing For Anamaria".
Her image transition was shocking but it worked so well. She actually suits the sexy siren image. She's more quiet-seductive-sexy than in-your-face sexy, unlike other divas such as Nicole Scherzinger and Mariah Carey.
