Members Chris B Posted March 7, 2006 Members Share Posted March 7, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Huntress Posted March 7, 2006 Members Share Posted March 7, 2006 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.

Members Chris B Posted March 7, 2006 Members Share Posted March 7, 2006 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bree Posted March 13, 2006 Members Share Posted March 13, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted March 13, 2006 Members Share Posted March 13, 2006 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
