| Melanie C sporty spice |
|
| Often called "talented spice" (to each their own!) Mel C was the one with the chops to hit the high notes. She released a successful solo album called "Northern Star" which produced the #1 hits "I Turn To You" and "Never Be The Same Again". Like the other girls Melanie's body image has gone through a few changes and has been the subject of many a tabloid article. Unlike the other girls however questions about Melanie's sexual orientation have also kept the trash mags busy (she's str8). Always "honest" in her interviews, Melanie has infuriated many a Spice fan by insulting the musical careers of her former bandmates with Victoria being the latest victim to her strange outbursts. As well as "talented spice" Melanie is also referred to as "the one who can sing". Well let me just say that ALL THE SPICE GIRLS CAN SING. Melanie C's voice is technically better than the others. But technical is the key word. It can often sound (in my opinion) a little cold and lack the warmth the other girls' "imperfections" have. It has a more rocky sound and therefore goes over well with the Rolling Stone, SPIN, NME crowd. In 1998 she recorded a great duet with Canadian rock/pop singer Bryan Adams called "When You''re Gone". It was a big hit in Canada and suprised many critics who didn't realise that a Spice Girl could sing. Sigh. Her second solo album "Reason" was released last year to mixed reviews from critics and fans (I did NOT like it). It reached the top 20 unlike Northern Star which was a Top 10 success. And her latest single "Melt" didn't even reach the top 20. Melanie was the one who least felt comfortable with the OTT shenanigans of "Spice World " and that's fair enough.h.However she needs to come to terms with her "sporty" past and realise she can still be proud of her past and at the same time move on towards a different musical style and career.
