The Official Spice Girls Thread

[explodingbird]

The official thread for discussion of the Spice Girls, as a group and as solo artists! (Although Emma Bunton, Baby Spice, does have her own thread.)

So back in the mid-90's, they were THE explosive girl power pop group, with their hits Wannabe, Spice Up Your Life, 2 Become 1, Say You'll Be There, Stop, Too Much, Vivia Forever, and Goodbye. There was the mature, tomboyish Sporty Spice (Melanie Chisholm); the refined and cool Posh Spice (Victoria Adams, now Victoria Beckham); the sweet, cute Baby Spice (Emma Bunton); the sassy, sexy, brassy Ginger Spice (Geri Halliwell); and the outrageous, wild Scary Spice (Melanie Brown) and her breast implants.

Anyway - a few Wikipedia links detailing the group and each girl's life/careers...

Melanie C

Geri Halliwell

Melanie B

Victoria Beckham

Emma Bunton

And Michelle Stephenson, the original fifth Spice Girl that could've been.

Ginger left the group around 1998 or so due to internal conflicts with Scary. Shortly after that, the remaining four girls released their final album, the decidedly urban/R&B-flavored Forever - to little success, and disbanded not too long after. Their legend still lives on, however, around the world, and especially in the UK - where they all still pursue solo careers to varying degrees of success.


Feel free to discuss your thoughts on the girls - together and/or solo - in here. Or discuss Emma in her Speshul Thread. (I almost feel obligated to make solo threads for the other four, but... nobody CARES about Mel B, really...)
