Little Mix channelled their 90's Sporty Spice look for "Word Up!"

Posted by Kevin Z. Rong Tuesday, March 4, 2014

If you're a young British girl group who are traveling down the tried-and-true road paved by the Spice Girls, and you've been commissioned to record the official 'Sports Relief' charity single, then you'd best enlist Melanie 'Sporty Spice' Chisholm, aka, 'Mel C' for at least a cameo in the music video. And actually, that's exactly what Little Mix did for their "Word Up!" visual. The ladies of the X Factor girlband have taken a few tips from Mel C as they hit a gleaming fitness center and channeled their 1990s Sporty Spice look for their version of Cameo's track.
The new song is not included on the album because it's confirmed as the 2014 Sport Relief single. Sport Relief is a biennial charity event in conjunction with Comedy Relief, merges entertainment with sport to raise money and awareness to people both in the UK and the world's poorest countries. Each year, Sport Relief has a single used to promote the charity event. This year's Sport Relief fundraiser will take place between March 21 and March 23. "We've all seen people push themselves and do incredible things for Sport Relief, so it's a dream come true to be releasing the official single this year," Perrie Edwards previously said.
The R&B/funk song, "Word Up!" is a cover of American soul-influenced funk group Cameo's 1986 funk-pop classic hit of the same name, which has also been a hit for Gun and Spice Girl Mel B, will be released on March 16 with a CD on sale the following day, and it can be pre-ordered on iTunes now. The star-studded video is a virtual camp fest that finds the quartet aerobicising and creating all-around chaos while several well-known faces flash by the camera, including Olympic gymnast Louis Smith, Lara Croft: 'Tomb Raider' actor Chris Barrie and, of course, Spice Girls star Mel C.
The sports themed promo sees the four girls all exercise with a number of famous faces, and pulled out their best Sporty Spice impressions as they showed off their incredible gym gear and burst into action in a selection of funky running gear and appear to break quite a sweat on the treadmill and spin bikes as they dance energetically around. With Jade 'sporting' (wheeey) some cute coral leggings with a pink sports bra, Jesy rocking her trademark basketball jersey and minxy eye make up, Leigh-Anne looking like a total tennis megababe and Perrie pouting away in a monochrome number, and yes, we're really missing the 90s today.
