Composing/writing their own music. | |

It depends, if the Spice girls wrote their own shit, it would still be shit. If Wendy and Lisa didn't write their own music it would still be good music.
SO IMO the main characteristc of a good girls group is performing with talent good songs. | |

I think the Spice Girls wrote some of their lyrics and melodies, though I'm not sure. I like Pink and Christina Aguilera because at least they co-write lyrics and melodies, but they're not half as amazing as Bjork or Tori Amos or write and produce everything. Even shit music is hard to write sometimes, lol. My | |

Sensuality without blatent sexuality. Being tasteful yet mysterious. That is the best thing about girl bands. The Bangles had that.

can someone say Sheila E? Yeah! And JOSIE and the Pussycats! For me it's just good songs. Musicianship don't mean doody to me. Sleater Kinney is a good example. I expected so much from them and they just bore me. The Donna's - that's another example - chicks who rock!? Hell yeah! And then you hear the stuff and it's just weak. The Spice Girls DID have some fun songs. Ain't saying I'm starting up spicegirls.org or nothing, but, come on, "If you wanna be my lover" was fun. Didn't cure aids or get us on the moon, but it was boppable. The Last Otan Track: www.funkmusician.com/what.mp3 | |

In the end, I think it's all about marketing/publicity. There's a million and one girl groups popping up weekly. What distinguishes one from another? Constant barrage of publicity - that's how Spice Girls, Beyonce's group, umm, ANY of them - that's how I learned about them - was from CONSTANTLY being told about them... the race is to the persistent, not the slick, not the sly, not the pretty, talented, but the MARKETED. That's my take. But hey, I ain't a fan of girl groups all that much - not since Expose and "Let Me Be The One". The Last Otan Track: www.funkmusician.com/what.mp3 | |

Damn! I LOVE that song! The black-haired chick had the best voice in that group. | |

I don't think a girls group should have different characteristics from any other artist. It's important be themself, sing or play what they really feel inside. Don't try to copy someone else (just like I do with P), but find a personal way to the music.
Good luck and let us know. simon(e)

[This message was edited Wed Dec 24 10:11:51 PST 2003 by PinkPeach] The same power and control that a male group would have in the male dominated music industry. Not being controlled by a producer. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |
