SPICE GIRLS - MORE FACTS AND RUMOURS
|
Release date on HMV:
The virtual shop HMV updated the Greatest Hits
album page with the cover and the release date on November
5th, check HERE.
Dancers auditions + tour director:
Rumours are that the auditions for dancers of the
tour are already happening in Los Angeles and that the tour
director will be Jamie King, who worked on the last three
Madonna's tours: Drowned World Tour 2001, Re-Invention Tour
2004 and The Confessions Tour 2006.
[Crazy things from the press] Spice Girls fear
that Mel will leave the band:
From
People.co.uk:
The spice Girls' reunion tour could face a crisis - amid
fears Mel C is on the verge of pulling out.
Sporty is desperate to keep her solo career alive and wants
enough time to work on her own projects.
A possible contingency plan has even been drawn up for their
December tour in case only Mel B, Victoria Beckham
Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell take part.
An insider revealed: "Mel C still wants to be seen as a
solo singer and she's told pals she's tired of being ordered
around. Things are so tense she hasn't even spoken to Mel
B, Victoria, or Geri since June."
And her decision to release solo material weeks before the
Spices' own single shows how defiant she is.
Mel, 33, originally suggested she'd put her solo work on
hold until after the tour.
But she releases This Time on October 12, a month before
The Spices' single Woman.
The source said: "It's an obvious sign of where her priorities
lie because she'll need to promote her own single and have
less time for the group. Management are treating her feelings
like gold-dust to salvage things. But they are also planning
to make sure the tour goes ahead even if she pulls out."
But a spokesman for the Spice Girls said: "The girls are
in regular touch, they are all getting on great and very
much looking forward to the tour."

SPICE GIRLS - FACTS & RUMOURS
|
Editions of the Greatest Hits album:
The virtual shop www.fan.pl,
a reliable source according to the Polish fans, brought
information about three different editions of the Greatest
Hits album: only the CD,
CD+DVD
and CD+2DVDs.
Singer Shaggy speaks about the Spice Girls:
The reggae singer Shaggy spoke to The Sun about the Spice
Girls: "I think Victoria just feels like she has some
broke friends and wants to help them out. When she married
David Beckham she made a great career choice. I take my
hat off to her, but I'm not looking forward to the shows."
Spice Girls on X-Factor:
Some days ago the judge of the music reality show X-Factor,
Louis Walsh, slammed the Spice Girls on Star magazine by
saying: “Those girls are not talented. One’s
just a wife of a footballer and the others are not on the
radar. They’re well past their sell-by date. Girls
Aloud are the top girl group in the world right now. The
Spice Girls are very lucky and very overrated. None of them
can sing and their music is not half as good as Girls Aloud’s.
Girls Aloud are also better looking. I’ll give them [Girls
Aloud] another year. They’ll do this album and
you never know. Nadine from Girls Aloud could definitely
go solo – she is the one with the talent and will have a
successful solo career. None of the Spice Gils could do
that.”
But according to TheSun, Simon Cowell, the X-Factor boss,
is desperate to get the Spice Girls on the first
live X Factor show in October. A source said: "Simon was
furious with Louis for slaughtering the Spice Girls. He
really wants them to do a masterclass on one of the X Factor
live shows and now fears Louis has blown it. He gave him
[Louis] a bollocking and told him to keep his mouth shut.
The Spice Girls are the biggest act in Britain right now.
Their reunion tour is in hot demand so getting them on the
X Factor would be a real coup and a ratings winner. The
girls and their management company, 19, haven’t said
yes or no yet. Simon is going to have to do a lot more grovelling
to make it happen.”

PRECIOUS JEWELS ON THE SPICE GIRLS COVER
|
From TheSun:
Grab your shades before you set your eyes on this bling-tastic
cover of the Spice Girls' greatest hits album.
The artwork is a copy of their debut album Spice. But this
time £1million-worth of precious jewels were used
to create the letters.
In the work by top jewellery designer David Morris, each
letter symbolises one of the Spice Girls, as it did in their
debut cover.
The S is made from amber and represents Victoria Beckham.
The ruby pink P is Baby Emma Bunton.
Mel C’s letter I is made from a diamond; Geri
Halliwell is the C, made from sapphire stones; and
the emerald E is Mel B.
The girls have always loved jewels. When they started out,
Geri bought all her bandmates cheapo gold rings. She replaced
them with more expensive ones when they were no longer Wannabes.
And their manager, Simon Fuller, gave the girls expensive
necklaces when they announced their comeback.
A source said: “The album cover is a nice touch. They
wanted something simple and stylish and it’s probably
one of the most expensive album covers ever made.”
Sadly, the bling doesn’t come free with the version
you’ll find in the shops.

MELANIE BANS ALCOHOL ON TOUR
|
From FemaleFirst:
Mel C is imposing an alcohol ban on the Spice Girls for
their upcoming world tour.
The singer is determined to make sure she and her four bandmates
- Emma Bunton, Mel B, Geri Halliwell and Victoria Beckham
- are in top condition when they hit the road again in December
and is going to introduce a number of healthy rules.
Mel, also known as Sporty Spice, told Sunday magazine: "Going
on tour is like getting married. You have to look your best
and prepare by exercising three to five times a week.
"If we're touring and doing show after show, we have to
really look after ourselves. We might occasionally have
a few drinks in the dressing room, but we can't really do
that.
"I'm sure most of the time we'll be back in our hotel rooms,
relaxing in the bath, because we can't go out and play!"
As well as limiting the girls' alcohol consumption, Mel
is also going to make sure the group get an early night
before each show and eat the right foods.
She added: "We'll be going to bed by 10.30am. When you have
a show, the night before has to be an early one.
"You should eat about four hours before so you're not hungry
when you go on stage and have the energy needed to perform.
I also recommend avoiding dairy because it can affect your
voice."
The Spice Girls - who announced they were reforming in June
- are to play 15 shows, taking place in five continents.
The tour begins in Vancouver, Canada, in December, and rumours
are rife the band are planning to add extra dates.

Melanie's vocal coach since 2003, Carrie Grant, has
recently talked about Mel: "Mel C is the singer I have worked
with who has shown the most improvement over the years", Carrie
says."She's such a lover of music and singing and she knows
her voice so well. I always say to her, 'If it goes pear-shaped
Mel, you can always be a coach'. She is a real artist"

Hilton, check HERE.
Mel about Eurovision:
A few days ago we posted the link for the video of the 12
Points website, in which Melanie talks about the singing contest Eurovision,
saying that she considers a joke that Scooch is the group
representing the UK this year, but she would like to be the
singer representing Europe. Her comments generated a debate
between the Eurovision viewers on the site Oikotimes.

SPICE GIRLS VS BRITNEY SPEARS AT FASHION ROCKS
|
From Mirror:
We wouldn't want to get into a fight with Britney Spears
... so those Spice Girls are brave ladies.
The girls are battling it out to open the Fashion Rocks
concert at London's Royal Albert Hall, one of the biggest
events in the music and fashion industry.
The Spices have set their hearts on making their long-awaited
comeback at the extravaganza in October which is being hosted
by Samuel L. Jackson and Uma Thurman.
But organisers desperately want Britney to open the concert,
her first official appearance since her troubles.
They have asked Britney to perform, but her record label
are worried her songs aren't strong enough and have yet
to decide.
Nicki Chapman - who works as the Spice Girls' manager with
Simon Fuller - has put in several calls to the show's organisers
to try and get the Girls on the line-up which already includes
Kasabian, Alicia Keys and Beth Ditto.
A source tells us: "People around the Spice Girls think
it's the perfect place for their first gig in years. They're
keeping their fingers crossed, but they know there are some
big names in the mix." Whoever gets the chance to perform
at the event will certainly sparkle on the night.
The outfits for the show will be encrusted with Swarovski
crystals because the company is sponsoring the event.
A string of big fashion names have confirmed their attendance,
so the costumes are likely to be created by a top designer.
Victoria Beckham has had her eye on the event for nearly
a year - well before the girls had decided on their comeback.
She wanted to host the event with husband David Beckham
and was rumoured to have had talks with Big Time Productions,
who organise the event.
The glam do - on October 18 - is held every two years to
raise money for the Prince's Trust.
In June Victoria, 33, Geri Halliwell, 35, Emma Bunton, 31,
Melanie Brown, 32, and Melanie Chisholm, 33, announced they
were reuniting for a one-off world tour.
Demand for tickets was so high - three million registered
in three months - that they added more dates to the tour
and will perform 14 concerts - in London, Los Angeles, Las
Vegas, New York, Vancouver, Cologne, Madrid, Beijing, Hong
Kong, Shanghai, Sydney, Cape Town, Buenos Aires, and San
Jose.
The girls are a far more reliable option than Britney who
has been plagued with troubles this year, which culminated
in her checking into rehab.

FURIOUS MELANIE - SIMON WANTS SINGING LESSONS
|
From Closer Magazine:
Their comeback tour has been plagued by rumours of arguments
and jealousy, and now a new row has broken out between the
Spice Girls - over singing lessons.
The girls, who sold 55 million albums before they split,
have been ordered to have vocal coaching to tune up for
their world tour, which kicks off in December.
But sources close to the band have revealed that Mel C has
hit out at the order - given by manager Simon Fuller - telling
him: "I don't need lessons. I can sing, thank you very much."
A Spice source told Closer: "The girls have been told by
Simon that they need to get their voices back in training
and should start having singing lessons as soon as possible."
"But Mel C is furious, as she thinks her voice is already
in great shape. Simon thinks she needs to re-familiarise
herself with the lyrics and the pop style to make the comeback
work."
"Mel feels really insulted but Simon has insisted on it.
They are all going to have vocal coaching, because they
have lost the art of singing in harmony."
The souce added: "The rest of the band are fine with getting
some voice coaching and can't understand why Mel is kicking
off about it."
When the girls first got together in the mid-'90s, their
original manager Chris Herbert hired vocal coach Pepi Lemer
to help lead the girls to success.
Let's hope the lessons will pay off again!

MELANIE TALKS ABOUT TORONTO
|
From Sun
Media Entertainment:
Toronto must really, really want the Spice Girls, because
yesterday it won a worldwide online contest to be the one
"Spice City" added to this winter's Spice Girls' reunion
tour.
"It was all down to the numbers," Melanie Chisholm (a.k.a.
Mel C) said in an exclusive telephone interview yesterday
with Sun Media.
So when's the show? And where? And how to get tickets?
The band revealed none of that info yesterday, other than
to say the Toronto concert will be scheduled for some time
in January. But judging by the Spice Girls' January tour
itinerary, it would appear their only window of opportunity
to play anywhere in North America that month would be in
the first or last weeks, as the Girls wind their way from
China, to Australia, to Africa, to South America from Jan.
8-24.
The "Spice City Initiative" was set up by the reunited pop
superstars to give their "genuine fans" the world over the
chance to have a concert in their city, by voting on the
Spice Girls' official website.
Runner-up cities to Toronto in the fan voting included Rio
(Brazil), Chicago (U.S.), Paris (France), Melbourne (Australia),
Manchester (England) and Baghdad (Iraq).
"(Toronto) just narrowly beat Manchester, and I'm from Liverpool,
which is quite close," Chisholm said. "I'd have been happy
with Manchester, which is near all my family," she said.
"But I love Toronto and I also have family (near) there
too. I have my uncle and auntie and two cousins in Windsor.
"Canada has always been such an amazing market for us, so
it's only fitting that we play two shows there."
The Brit band comprises Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice), Melanie
"Mel B" Brown (Scary Spice), Emma Bunton (Baby Spice), Chisholm
(Sporty Spice) and Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice). The vocalists
had a slew of hit singles and albums from 1994-2001 before
splintering into largely unsuccessful solo acts.
The tour, which begins Dec. 2 in Vancouver (the only other
Canadian date), originally was to make only 10 stops around
the world. Toronto's addition raises the number to 15.

SPICE CITY - THE WINNER
|
From TheSpiceGirls.com:
YOUR SPICE CITY
Hi Everyone
We’re really amazed by the fantastic response to our
“Spice City” competition. Thanks to everyone
who took the time to get involved.
We set this up to give all our genuine fans the chance to
turn their hometown into a SPICE CITY. This was all about
making your own city a SPICE CITY and since we launched
there have been literally millions of votes for us to play
in hundreds of cities including places like Rio, Chicago,
Melbourne, Manchester, Paris, Alice Springs, Baghdad, and
Diss (in Norfolk England)!
But one city had to win and we are now delighted to announce
the winner is... TORONTO. Thanks to everyone in Canada who
voted for us to play there - we’ll work out the date
over the next few weeks and let you know.
If your city wasn’t the winner this time, then keep
checking back to this site and register for updates. Who
knows what might happen next?
Lots of love
Emma, Geri, Mel B, Melanie C, Victoria
