Why Melanie C was almost not a Spice Girl | BBC Sounds
We are BBC Sounds. The home of binge-worthy podcasts, music curated by music lovers and live radio.
Emma, the sweetness, the eye candy . Geri, the brain & the engine. Victoria, the style & the class. Melanie B, the madness & cheekiness. Melanie C, the hype & the energy of the Spice Girls. That's the secret of their success back in the day, besides the amazing songs the wrote together & the girl power philosophy they put in their music
... agree, of course. Just I would add for Mel C, their backbone vocally-wise - at least in a number of SG songs.
The band would not have been the same without Melanie C. I've been a huge fan of Mel c from the spice Girls and also throughout her whole solo career. I just love everything about her ❤️
I agree 100% ❤️ Nothing would be the same without Melanie C and I am a huge fan of her ❤️
I cannot imagine the SP without MC. As I kid I loved them all but I started with Geri being my fave and ended up with MC being my all time fave!
Looking back, Spice girls had the Least amount of haters. Everyone had their favorite, everyone had their crush. Mine was Melanie Chisholm (Sporty Spice). She was the most successful of the girls in music.
that was the point....Each one represented someone.
Because she had the best voice.
Oh no….. the haters were the press…. Constantly attacking Mel C as a Lesbian…. Criticizing their outfits as tacky….
Mel C, by far the most vocally talented, imo. 😍 her.
Joe 🔥.
These questions have been answered a million times over - good for Mel for continuing to entertain this as the answers can be found very easily to his questions he’s been given.
Anyone that cares would know the answers already
Even if some people that did not know the answer that don’t mean they don’t care don’t watch Interviews anymore they always asking the same damn questions they just every artist ever after and not a big deal
melanie c is so amazing
You go Girl
We need the Spice Girls back again. We need positivity again. The world needs
them more then ever!
Love you Mel C 😍❤
Love this girl! 💕
Sporty Spice is my soul!!
The best one
She looks better than when she was in the spice girls
Gets better with age
From what I heard, the only one who was in the original formation of the group was Mel B. But it seems that Mel C. ended up joining after Geri, who I know was a later add because she missed the initial audition from being in Spain at the time.
Geri missed the 1st audition because of a sunburn but pushed herself into the group. The group was formed at first after the 2nd or 3rd callback, Mel B, Geri and Victoria were in the original line up with Michelle and the girl that was replaced with Mel C.
They have answered this question very differently throughout the years. The last time I heard, it was Mel C, Mel B and Victoria the ones who got chosen first, then Geri and Michelle. And aftet that, Emma was chosen to replace Michelle cause Victoria knew her.
I feel Mel C (and mel b) gave character to the group. Emma bunton was the opposite to Mel c, her sweetness and soft voice stood out in contrast.
I just love how Mel C has really come full circle with being a Spice Girl. A couple years ago, she didn’t really want to be Sporty Spice
Yes, she used to cancel some tour dates in 2007 and deny the reunion in 2016
But the tour 2019 really brought her back together with Spice girls
@@damdaung8369 Melanie C didn't deny the reunion plan in 2016, she just didn't want to celebrate Spice Girls 20th anniversary, because Victoria was the one who didn't want to join the reunion; Melanie C thought, it was useless if Posh wouldn't want be around for that reunion.
@@crazyspice3951 yes, then in 2018, Geri persuaded Mel C to come back in spite of missing Posh, and Mel C realized that Spice girls always be a big part of her life, so she change her mind to be back to Sporty again
Good for her, and for all of us
All you need is positivity. 👌🏼
Joe doesn't even seem interested
my best wishes
"A girl called Michelle". Poor Michelle, I wonder what the group would be like with her on board. Would they work out.
Michelle Stephenson wanted to continue with her school and studies, the other girls and management needed 100% commitment. It was mostly a 50/50 decision. And imagining the Spice Girls without Emma? No way!
@@NiGHTSaturn yes no way... Just to be 100% technically correct, Emma didn't come straight soon after Michelle left. A girl named Abigel Kis was soon audictioned and approved to replace Michelle, however she chose not to join the group and quickly was replaced by Emma who met the girls on the third week of July, 1994.
* btw, if Michelle was to stay and go on within the group, she decidedly would have been the youngest out of them, not only, but even younger than Emma - in fact, exactly one year younger than 'Baby Spice' who in the end, replaced her.
@@francescofissore161 Abigail was offered to be in the band but turned it down.
@@MatgoStyles sure she did a very good impression to management, since they selected her just two days after she sang at a later audition.
Somewhere Lianne Morgan is fuming and said "It Should Have Been Me!!!"
Give us a new spice girl album damn mel 🙄🙄
I love hearing her talk. What British accent is that? (Don't say "British". You know what I mean lol)
She’s from Liverpool
Liverpudlian
@@noahpaulmillen4832 To me she sounds different than those 4 other fellows from Liverpool.
Melanie C has the Northern English accent because she's from Northern England just like Melanie B (Mel B). Mel B & Mel C both has northern English accent, BUT; both of them has slightly different slang because Melanie C is from Liverpool, while Melanie B is from Leeds.
@@jonnuanez2843 actually the both Melanies (B & C) that has the strong northern English accent compared to other three, that most Americans find it hard to understand.
SG would have had no vocals.
No she was essential
