I've followed their solo careers a bit, so I'll try and fill yall in...

Geri releases two very successful albums in the UK. The second, Scream If You Wanna Go Faster was the #1 Imported Album in the US...shame they didn't release it. This past year she released another album which was very good, but didn't do nearly as successful. Her sound is very dance/pop.

Mel B released two albums. The first did okay, it had a song with Missy Elliot if I remember. The second one was released last year and did TERRIBLE. The video looks like it was shot with a cellphone and the album debuted in like the 700s, lol. But it wasn't too bad. The first album was RnB, second pop.

Emma has been the pretty successful. Her first album was big featuring singles like "What Took You So Long" and "What I Am." She followed this up with Free Me, a very 60s Burt Barabach-esque alum that has been huge these past two years in the UK. She also released it in the US and did some lite promo for it. It's excellent. I never expected her to be the most talented, but she without a doubt is.

Victoria released one album which was very, very good. Her downfall is that the UK hates her, but still her stuff charted well. In like 2004, she was recording a new album with Rocafella records, but her UK record company split up and wouldn't allow her to go to Roca full time. This also screwed things up for Craig David and Mis-Teeq. She released one Rocafella song, the excellent This Groove and several of the tracks that leaked were AWESOME. It's a shame she didn't get to come ot the US, I think she would've gotten a fair shot here. BTW, both of her albums were hip hop.

Mel C - I'm not really too crazy about her, but I think she's up there with Geri as the most successful. I remember really enjoying her Reason album, but it's been ages since I've heard it. She has a very rock sound.

Melanie C is by the most successful solo artist of the former Spice Girls.

Geri had the most No.1 spots in the UK but outside of the UK she has never been that big.

Melanie C's current single "First Day Of My Life" is the theme song of the German telenovela "Julia" and made that song No.1 for two weeks. It spent 17 weeks in the German top 10 and is still in the Top30 as of this week. The song was also No.1 in Austria and Switzerland.

Stickstoria's videos are always quite good. She did a parody of Mommie Dearest for her Let Your Head Go video. She seems to have a good sense of humor. I love when people lampoon themselves!

LOL yesterday on Much More Music (Canada's VH1) they played an old "Behind The Music" biography of the Spice Girls :lol: oh the memories..... I remember the weekend it was announced Geri left :( It was a dagger through the hearts of Spice fans everywhere.

I still like their ballad, "2 Become 1".

I also like Mel C.'s dance hit "I Turn To You."

I haven't heard any of the other girls' solo stuff.

I think they're more talented then Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff. Pop stars and groups have been manufactured for years. It's been going on since the 40s.

Word... at least the Spice Girls had a message and a root cause.... sure they were manufactured but they embodied the spirit of girl power and were role models for young girls everywhere.... Hillary Duff and Lindsay Lohan hardly have any kid of message or cause lol...

Last summer I was at yard sale and came across tons of Spice Girl stuff. I got all of the following for 50 bucks...

Spice Girls Jacket (Med)

2 Lunch Boxes

5 Spice Girls on Tour Dolls (unopened)

5 Spice Girls on Stage Dolls (unopened)

4 Viva Forever dolls with the little finger puppets (unopened)

I sold everything except the lunch box and Ebay was very good to me :lol:

    • All I can think of is if a lot of big names were leaving around that time she wanted him back as a stopgap, although I have never seen any real evidence that he was popular with GH viewers.
    • I loved watching Shanice hand Leslie her ass and finally shutting her up. It was so good. I also love Martin & Smitty's family.  Anita has to have some sort of plan giving Leslie the tickets to mail for Winterfest. She has to be setting her up for a fall. It's pretty obvious to me Vernon is not cheating with Sharon. I think Sharon is helping him with his terrible singing voice for Winterfest. I still believe Bill & Dani are endgame but I love Dani & Andre too. I am definitely enjoying this story. And making Hayley a black widow is a nice twist.
    • Sorry for the spam. Wasn't sure where to put this, it's from Tony Geary's husband's IG. Tony watching Genie and Maurice on Mo's show.
    • This show is really trundling along BTW. When is someone going to show up to slit Beastmaster's throat or crack the whip on metrosexual Sidwell? (BTW, openly presenting this cheery bon vivant as casually bisexual would at least be something vaguely diverting.) At least kill Brennan by year's end. I'm bored.
    • She told Vanessa to "DOUBLE her offer" on the Jarvis house.  The Jarvis family accepted the doubled price.  Assuming the house has an appraised value of $2,000,000, she's theoretically paid the Jarvis family $4,000,000 for the house.  The bank would loan Leslie 80% of the appraised value ($1,600,000), and Leslie had to pay the balance with cash at closing --- $2,200,000.  She only had ONE million.  Where the hell did she get the rest?!  And now she's got contractors working on the house all day & half the night.  Who's paying THEM?  I keep thinking all this will crash around her.  Either that or the writers have absolutely no idea the limits of a million dollars.  Sounds like a "lot of money", but it obviously ain't when we look at Leslie's spending since she got that million dollar check in August.

    • Vernon is an idiot. Why would he have Sharon in the same hotel that Leslie is staying at?
    • Yes, that out of the blue return was odd. Maybe GG found a forgotten clause in the contract he signed when he was wooed to ABC and they were forced to take him back! Like George Reinholt he talked about the contract that promised him primetime roles. But it was loaded in the networks favor. I think it was Gloria Loring that re-signed at Days on the promise of primetime opportunities, but that was all it was- she was put up for guest spots and TV movies but not necessarily guaranteed that she get the role.
    • I still am baffled by why Monty brought back stunt hire Gerald Gordon in the early '80s out of nowhere for like a year. I haven't found anyone who can come up with a thing he did in that second stint of note.
    • It's interesting to watch this having watched The Doctors. I'm not sure I'm seeing that much of a difference in the characters Gerald Gordon and Anna Stuart played on The Doctors and what they're playing here.
