Hmmmm..tough one. Geri aka 'Ginger Spice' initially. But also like Mel B. 'Scary Spice'.
Victoria would be next. Emma's latest album 'Free Me' is great. Very 60's 70's sounding. Mel C.
does have a good voice. I like them all I guess.

So..right now I'd say Victora! nod

"Sporty" was my fave for the first couple years...but sumpthin about "Baby's" voice on the last CD really worked for me, so I'm torn between them...

"Scary" was fun, but I'm disappointed that she hasn't done much solo work...

I love both Victoria and Geri and those are the only Spice Girls that I have the solo albums of. I've heard that that Emma's new one is great and that Sporty's first one was amazing. Didn't hear much about Scary's album, which seemed to be the most antcipated when the girl's first came out.

Mel B.'s album is really good. I think you'l like it. And you can find it fairly cheap too. Victoria's I play a lot. Can't wait for her new one. Have you heard the 1st 2 singles? (a double A-Side actually) I think I have all the solo albums, except Emma's first one. confuse












Mel B says Spice Girls may reunite

The Spice Girls may reunite for a greatest hits album, according to former member Mel B.

She hopes the five girls will get back together to write one last new song for the album.

Mel B, currently starring in the musical Rent in New York, said: "We will probably do something together as a group, but not for a while.

"I think they are going to release an album, and hopefully we will all get together and write a song for it.

"We keep on talking about it, but everybody has branched off to do their own thing," she told the New York Daily News.

Former band mates Mel C and Emma Bunton are expected to travel to New York to see her perform in Rent in the coming weeks.

Mel B, originally from Leeds, plays the part of HIV-positive drug addict and stripper Mimi, based on the tragic heroine of Puccini's opera La Bohème.

"Right now the singing bit is the one that I am not 100% about," she said. "There are certain notes and certain melodies that I'm not used to singing.

"I mean, I was in a group with five girls. If the note was too high, someone else would sing it. I was very sheltered in that way."

Mel B and Ginger Spice bump into each other in LA

Former Spice Girl Mel B says she didn't have much to say to Ginger Spice when the pair met recently in Los Angeles.

Scary Spice, who is trying to carve out an acting career, bumped into Geri Halliwell while out shopping recently, says the Daily Star.

She said: "I had just left a department store in LA and Geri was right there in front of me. I was like: "Er, hi." I had nothing to say.

"Moments like that are just so awkward. With Geri, it's like we were sisters but now we're both totally doing our own things so it was really weird meeting her like that.

"We just don't have the time to see each other any more. And there's nothing I would really want to say to her anyway," added Mel B.

She also said she is determined to take her acting seriously and is currently gearing up to star in the Broadway musical Rent.

"Ideally I would love to produce and star in a US sitcom," she said.




aaahhhh..the good old days. sad lol

Mel B tells the Spice tale good and proper


David Barnett looks at the latest Spice Girl to tell all in her autobiography.



Pop autobiographies are often very hit-and-miss affairs.

The very nature of celebrity these days usually means that the most interesting stuff about the people we fete is often the kind of thing they don’t really want making public.

We want the dirt, the tantrums, the torrid affairs, the unreasonable behaviour. Would Elvis have dished half the dirt on himself that Albert Goldman did in his seminal biography? Probably not.

In recent times the pop biog has taken an even more fluffy direction. Very often we get a few recycled press stories in big type with lots of white space, and oodles of colour pictures.

At least Leeds’s Melanie Brown has turned out a proper book, with real writing and everything. The colour pictures are there, of course, but with Catch a Fire (the title’s lifted from an old Bob Marley album) at least Scary Spice is giving her fans some measure of value for money.

Aside from Geri Halliwell, whose second autobiography has just come out (a lot more must have happened in her life since the first volume a couple of years ago than we the public have been privy to), Mel B was always the gobbiest of the Spice Girls, so you’d expect her to have a lot to say – and you’d be right.

Over the course of 336 pages, Melanie sallies forth with her trademark opinionated viewpoints on just about anything imaginable. She doesn’t pull any punches when talking about family, old boyfriends, her fellow Spice Girls and the people she meets in the music business.

The story follows Mel’s childhood in Leeds, where as a mixed-race child she came in for a lot of racist flak from other kids. But the strength of her spirit shows through as she shrugs off the taunts and uses her happy home life and dancing to focus on her ambitions.

After a series of jobs dancing in shows in Blackpool the pivotal moment of Mel’s career arrives: her mother spots an advert in The Stage magazine that begins: “RU 18-23 with the ability to sing/dance? RU streetwise, outgoing, ambitious, dedicated?” It was the advertisement that was to bring the Spice Girls together and launch a phenomenon.

The rest, as they say, is history, and it’s a story we’ve all heard many, many times. But it’s refreshing to see an insider’s spin on it. Melanie always seemed the most down-to-earth of the Spice Girls, even when she was naming her children things like “Phoenix”, and it’s possibly the most accessible jumping-in point for a fan to try to get under the skin of the band.

Melanie is also remarkably candid about her ill-fated relationship with dancer Jimmy Gulzar, the father of her daughter, and her subsequent romance with actor Max Beesley.

This book will appeal to fans of the Spice Girls, of course, but it’s also a pretty interesting book for anyone intrigued by the way celebrities are made in the modern age. The Spice Girls have all but split up – Posh is Mrs Beckham by profession now, Geri is a thin-as-a-lat bag of angst, and the other two are… where are the other two, anyway?

But Melanie is the one you feel has the biggest future as an actual pop star. She’s already worked with credible producers and big-name artists, and reading her story from the little girl who wanted to be a dancer to her current position, you feel she’s the one who most deserves it.

Not bad for a young girl of whom a teacher once said: “You’ll amount to nothing, Melanie Brown!”

It can't be Mel B. If you had read any of the posts, then you'd know she's currently starring in 'Rent' for the next few months.

I've always been a fan of Geri, but I've met Mel B twice so she's gaining ground. She also interviewed Prince on the Beautiful Strange video. Weren't there recording sessions with the two of them? Jam & Lewis produced a song for Scary's solo album as well as two tracks for the last Spice Girls CD. Everyone is connected to Prince in some way or another.

I like all 5 of them! Yep, we'd a made a good Spice Girl sandwich with me right in the middle.

All kidding aside, their music is actually really good. All 3 CDs were better than alot of crap out at the time, and music in general, is even worse now without them. (Except Prince, he's still cool.) For being a "manufactured" group, their voices blended well together, and all of their harmonies were tight.

Bottom line is, they used a real band, real choreography, and actually sang live on their tours, unlike alot of current singers. I wont mention any names, Britney and Janet, but you guys know what I mean.

I think all the Spice Girls r cool. They each had their own personality and appealed 2 different people. Also 'Say You'll Be There' is a funky track & their best song IMO. I think a Spice Girls reunion would b cool, but I doubt they will match their past successes. I think the move 2 R&B music was a bit of a mistake IMO, they shoulda stayed with pop IMO. Anyway they were still a cool group, they shoulda split up when Geri left IMO. I would say that Geri and Victoria r my fave Spice Girls but they all r cool IMO.

He wrote "Mad Sex" about her - apparently. It's on "NP Soul", if you don't know it.
There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently
