OMG no way, how did mel B just manage to absolutely slaughter this song (she opened her mouth), wish i never clicked feautured video now ;( FFS spice girls
Man, I forgot how creepy this video was. I love it as much as I did when I first watched it, though! That is some cool bare-bones animation. And the cover is awesome.
this video is one of the best vids i have eva seen sooooooo wierd and kool.rem buying this back in 1999 i still love it now.love mel b and spice girls.
I remember buying this single just because it had a crappy Quicktime version of the video on it, and I vaguely remember this video being scrapped in favour of whatever one they used in Austin Powers.
wow when i saw mel b did a version of word up as well i thought she was extremely stupid to think she can pull it of. but this is awsme!!! ive never heard it before and hav to say that im truly suprised because its a realy good song and a weird but fantastic video. well done mel!
I like the song, itz funky, but this is da most shittest, crappiest, boring n irrating video ive eva seen. :-D word up? Should be called . . . shit up. Lmao
@Tommusix: the three best cover versions are actually by willis, members only and ucla bruin marching band. korn's version is actually the least appealing of all of them, but at least they have excellent taste in music.
I quiet liked World Up, although it wasnt a massive hit, its nothing we have ever heard from a Spice Girl, solo or as a group, and we have not heard anything like it since. Its not as good as I Want You Back the first single by Mel B (although she was Mel G at this point), it should be re-released, todays music scene is ready for a song like this.

For some reason Mel B seems to have opted for a lame version of Cameo's classic accompanied by the kind of video I could have easily done in Poser* (*I am no animation expert)
Avevo 9 anni e mezzo quando l'ho per la prima volta (la premier del video sul mitico Select Mtv) e mi ha stupito così tanto che me ne sono innamorato. Penso proprio che prima nessuno ha fatto niente del genere. Ora solo Bjork (♥♥♥) potrebbe proporre qualcosa di questo tipo, ma dev'essere poetico...
Sono studente di belle arti e non saprei se questa è arte; ma forse lo è. Questo video è così non-sense^^
I'm not hating, just being honest. This video version was really panned by critics and Virgin Records pulled it. they made another version with Mel B actually in a space outfit with visual effects. by that time the song and LP bombed, sorry to say. spice up your life!
Although I like the orginal version of the song more than performed by Mel B and timbaland. It is the combination of this version and the simply wonderfull art clip that works perfect...
I love this version, but of course I guess I am biased.... I did a solo dance to this song a few years ago and brought the motherfucking house down. Hell yeah :)
This video is sooo creepy....I LOVE it :)
