They've conquered the entire world, even the US. One hit follows the other. Can they be stopped? For the time being it seems nothing can. Let's take a closer look at these British girls who say they're spicy . . .

There are five of them to be precise, but I'm sure everybody noticed that. They used to be with six girls, but one of them dropped out because she was a little too 'spicy' . . . The remaining quintet has sold several millions of copies of their singles and their debut album Spice. It looks like they've chosen the right name for the band . . . They are hotter than hot.

In May 1997 a new international Pepsi Cola campaign started. Geri, Victoria, Mel B, Mel C and Emma sing the title track of this well known refreshment and they can even be seen in the commercial. I guess I don't need to tell everybody how much money they got for doing this.

Their latest single which was released in August '97 is called Step To Me. This track is not on their debut-album Spice, but it was especially made for the Pepsi campagne and it contains 3 mixes of the track!!
You can not buy the single in your ordinairy recordstore!! You can only get this track when you buy 3 bottles of Pepsi cola at some supermarkets!!

The REAL new single from the Spice Girls was released in October '97.
It's called "Spice Up Your Life" and it was taken from the new "Spice World" album which was released in November 1997! This album also contains the full version of the song "Move Over" which was of course taken from the Pepsi commercial.

"Spice World" didn't sell as many copies as the girls would have liked. Maybe sales will get better after the release of their new single "Too Much"... or maybe not. Results of questionaires have shown that 70 percent of boys and girls have in the age of 9 to 21 have already grown tired of the girls. They think they're being overexposed...

But hey... "Too Much" eased to the number one spot in the UK, so everybody was proven wrong... And although critics demolished the new Spice Girl movie "Spice World", it was a smash hit all over the world!! A sequel is inevitable.
There are even rumours that they had already started recording the the sequal during the video shoot of "Spice World"!!! Experts have been busy in trying to explain the huge success of the Spice Girls. They've come up with several reasons . . . One of them, of course, is that the music they make is super cool!! That's the main thing that counts, naturally . . . But the one thing that appeals to everybody, especially the men [or should I say boys], is their diversity! There's always one Spice Girl for every man's taste. And for the girls you can apply the same rule . . . There's always one Spice Girl to whom you can identify yourself to and who can act as a role model.

"Stop" was the last single with all the 5 girls!!! Geri has left the Spice Girls!! Yes it's true. Ginger Spice and the rest of the girls had some disagreements... Will her empty space be filled by a new member? Maybe...

Now let's take a closer look at the Spice Girls . . .

Geri

This 1m59 tall Spice Girl is known to be the sexiest one of the bunch. She likes tight, daring outfits, especially when you can still see her bellybutton . . . and most import . . . the piercing she's got! She usually decorates this little piercing with a locket.

Geri Estelle Halliwell is 24 years old, was born in Hartford. This Leo isn't afraid to show what she's got and she loves to flaunt it! You can take this literally! Very literally! Before joining the Spice Girls she was successful as a nude model and she used to be an assistant in a Turkish televisionshow. She said in an interview with Dutch magazine Breakout that she'd love to be a Playboy centerfold... Redheaded Geri is the best personification of Girl Power, the book they've just released

Geri left the band to go solo.

Victoria

23 year old Victoria Adams is a real Aries. She loves chic, clothes. Designer-outfits are her favorite. Drinking alcohol isn't one of her strong points. After the five girls pulled in their long-awaited record-deal, they celebrated it with lots of champagne. Vicky had to hear from her fellow Spice Girls how she got home that one day!

She's originally from a little town called Goff's Oak in Hertfordshire. Years ago she played in a band she doesn't want to be reminded of. The only thing she wants to say about it is that it didn't mean a thing to her!

Victoria is the first Spice Girl to get married. In May 1998 she will get married to a famous soccerplayer from England. And guess what... all the other Spice Girls will be the maids of honour!!

Yep, this lady has got style!

Mel B

Melanie Janine Brown was born 22 years ago. When you look at her you see Girl Power! She is the type of girl who you shouldn't mess around with! Kickboxing is one of her passions and she loves to show it off to guys who are bugging her! Mel B is the only Spice Girl who has had a descent musical education. She's a full-fledged drummer and whenever she sees a percussion instrument, she's gets the uncontrollable urge to get at it!

Mel also loves powerful men. George Clooney [E.R. and Batman & Robin] is on top of her list of powerful men! She'd just love a night on town with him. So George if you're reading this, try to get in contact with her! Her pierced tongue can be admired in almost all video clips. Like Geri she just loves to show it off!

Rumor has it that Mel B and Mel C are real tough cookies, who occasionally get into fights with each other. But there's nothing to worry about, cause the two Mels are very well-matched!

Mel C

Her complete name is Melanie Chisholm. She was born in Widness, Cheshire, 23 years ago. Sports are her favorite hobby. Her endurance-capability is very high and she does all kinds of stuff to keep herself in good shape!

Years ago she worked in a snackbar, but she never sinned. Never did she take one bite of any of the fast-food which used to pass her hands! 'Fast-food only makes you fat!' And right she is!

She loves playing soccer. FC Liverpool is her favorite club and she would love to have a look in their lockerroom to see how Liverpudlian Jamie Redknapp looks like in the flesh. And there are more girls who'd like to know that, aren't there?

Mel was the first Spice Girl to say 'No!' when a producer suggested that the girls were only to sing sweet love ballads. She said that she would leave the band if they were going to have to do that... Well, if I remember correctly 2 Become 1 and Mama were very sweet love ballads... and Mel's still with the band... Had a change of heart Mel C?

Oh yeah... Mel C is currently the only Spice Girl without a boyfriend...

Emma

The youngest of them all is Emma Lee Burton, born in Januari 1996 in Barnet [in the north of London]. She's blond, friendly and looks like a very shy person. Her favorite woman is her mother! The song Mama is a tribute to her mother and all the other mothers in the world.

She may look sweet and innocent, but underneath that thin layer of sweetness lies a sturdy character with guts! Who else could come up with the idea to run around naked in the hallway of an expensive German hotel in the middle of the night?? Mel B, Mel C and Emma sure shocked the few guests who were still awake!
Oh, there's one thing that some guys might be interested in... She lovers tight leather underwear!

Well, I think enough's said about the girls! Let's take a look at their single releases!
