Stop by the Spice Girls is 20 years old

STOP by SPICE GIRLS Can you imagine? That song we danced to from the Spice Girls is already 20 years old? STOP was produced for the group’s 2 nd  album “Spice world.”  The song was a baby of Geri Halliwel all due to the exhaustion the group was feeling at the time.    Ironically it was also Geri who put the stop to the number girl group of that decade.   The group broke up a year after the movie.  This song only landed on the number two spot of the charts, never making it to number 1.  But to Filipinos back then, this song is number 1. See this cute dance tribute of Regine Tolentino, who is a huge fan of the group.  She appears as all five of the Spice Girls.  Check out the video below.

Dirty Dancing is 30 years old

DIRTY DANCING This year marks the 30 TH anniversary of the release of the 1987 hit movie Dirty Dancing.   The film stars Patrick Swayze as Johnny and Jennifer Gray as Baby.   Set in 60s the movie is about a bakasyonita who falls in love with a dance instructor.   But what makes this movie amazing were the dance routines including the finale which featured the song “Time of my life’.   Choreographer of this particular dance was Kenny Ortega, also worked with Michael Jackson, and Madonna on the ‘Material Girl’ Video.  His credentials included directing highschool Musical Series. In this movie, girls swooned over Patrick Swayze.   He passed on in 2009 at   the young age of 57 after battling pancreatic cancer.   He and Jennifer gray would always be in our hearts and mind for showing us how to have the time of our lives.
