Who invented spice girls

The Spice Girls were originally called Touch. According to The Guardian , Mel C. Mel C. When we first started [with the name Touch], we were pretty bland. We felt like we had to fit into a mold. And then we realized that we were quite different personalities, different to each other and to all the female groups in the past.

To start, she was unrecognizable because her trademark, fiery red hair was not depicted. She looked so different! Despite breaking records all over the place and becoming the biggest thing in music in the late s, these ladies were missing something that would have genuinely certified their successes.

Even though they had topped global charts and won tons of awards, they never won a Grammy. There are some theories why they won all these other awards but not the granddaddy of them all. Even though they sold over 85 million albums worldwide along with nine UK number one hits, they never hit their mark with the Grammy judges.

They only recorded three albums, so that could be a big part of it. The girls worked their way through every part of the entertainment industry. In proper s form, they all played themselves in a movie about fictional events leading up to their concert in London. The film was filled with cliches of the time, like flashbacks and dream sequences. Naturally, hijinks ensued! The film highlighted their stardom and focused a lot on their public image.

There was always someone who wanted to make them look bad and someone who tried to ruin their reputation. These girls were not going to let that happen! The movie starts with the girls singing one of their hits on the show Top of the Pops — the same show that gave them their aliases in the first place.

They seemed unhappy with their fame and fortune, to which we just have to say: boo-hoo! Simultaneously a newspaper owner was trying to ruin their reputation in order to get his newspaper some more significant ratings.

Paparazzi wanted to take their photos, and Hollywood writers tracked the girls down to pitch ideas for their feature film, but every piece of it was bizarre. They could not help but wonder: Is our fame and fortune worth what we have to sacrifice? The rest of the movie consisted of cheesy flashbacks to their humble beginnings.

It did not take long for them to bop to the top, and they all took time to reminisce. This was entirely by chance. They continued from there to take their pregnant friend out dancing moments before she goes into labor. They went from the nightclub to the hospital, where they interacted with even more paparazzi who were pretending to be doctors. She drove recklessly and got to the show just in time.

A police officer was not a fan of their driving! Before they could get the show started, they needed to convince the officer to let them off for their performance. He tried to charge them for many things, including scaring the pigeons! Fortunately, Baby Spice was able to convince the officer to let them off with just a warning. Fortunately, they were already in the venue… their bus had a bomb in it and exploded during the show.

Luckily, they were safe! Victoria Beckham is not the only one to have found a famous lover during her time as a Spice Girl. Mel B, better known as Scary Spice, was once part of a Hollywood power couple with world-renowned comedian Eddie Murphy.

Unfortunately, things went south, and the two were in court battling over child support. There have been rumors throughout the years of the girls getting down and funky together… in a different way than they do on stage. There has been speculation from song lyrics that some of the girls got involved physically, and it seems that Scary Spice decided to put the rumors to rest.

Scary Spice confirmed the rumors that she and Ginger had gotten intimate in an appearance on Good Morning Britain. When Mel B was being interviewed, she was asked multiple times if she had slept with Geri. She finally caved and gave a sleek smile and shook her head yes. This was a particularly notable performance, though, and it was a rare opportunity for anyone.

The Spice Girls were guests of honor at the London Olympics in These pop sensations dominated headlines after they performed at the closing ceremony.

Unfortunately, girls tend to be unnecessarily mean to each other. The Spice Girls were no exception. Mel C better known as Sporty Spice dealt with a little too much bullying. Mel B Scary Spice is a suspected perpetrator. There is a chance that the bullying persisted because of the unrealistic expectations they had regarding weight and appearance. In an interview with The Guardian, Sporty confirmed suspicions and divulged that Scary was taunting her.

Scary, indeed! It is usually pretty challenging to outshine the women who are strutting their stuff down the runway, especially when they are nearly naked. Enter the Spice Girls, who can upstage anyone! They used it as an opportunity to give a sneak peek at their upcoming world tour.

They gave supermodels like Heidi Klum a run for their money. Naturally, the girls needed to figure out their next step after their days as the Spice Girls wrapped up. Some tried to break into solo careers, while others attempted to make a name themselves in other industries. She left because she wanted to return home to Leeds, England, from her typical post in Los Angeles. Sporty Spice was only a judge for that show for a brief moment, but she did a great job.

She left the show after the first season and was replaced by a Korean rapper named Jay Park. The first to move on was Geri Halliwell. Months before she announced that she was moving on from the Spice Girls, Ginger Spice started shedding that side of herself. She dyed her hair a lighter color, ridding herself of the trademark fiery red hair. Her costumes became less flashy, and she made some noticeable changes in her appearance.

When she announced that she was leaving the group, her public statement included the typical sentiments. When you have a music group, you have a lot of talent in one place. These ladies wanted to break off and do their own thing, much like other iconic groups in the music industry.

After her departure, it was clear that the group was missing something. The group did not have the same sound, and their next studio album, Forever, was noticeably less successful than the first two. They announced an indefinite hiatus, then broke off and did their own thing.

After Geri left, the group made it clear that they would try to work things out individually. Solo success worked out for some of them, but unfortunately, not for all of them. While some members of the band, including Victoria and Geri, knew each other before the Spice Girls audition phase, the rest of the band members were not introduced until later. I don't know why they're not being upfront about it. From there, the group went on to sign with famed music manager Simon Fuller and eventually landed a record deal with Virgin Records.
