Mel B: Is Not Naive

Mel B has recently admitted that though she is very excited to return to music with her new album which she hopes to release early next year, she is in no way naive about thinking that she could ever match the success she had with the Spice Girls.

"I could never be as successful as the Spice Girls - there were five of us in that group, and alone you can only do so much. But it's nice to be able to have a go," UK newspaper The Mirror quoted her as saying.

"I'll have a new album out by January. I don't get nervous about how it will do or feel pressure to have massive success. I believe in what I do and if people like it, great, and if they don't then, whatever.

"The highlight of my career was the girls coming back together and deciding to do a goodbye tour. It was all done on our terms and it was us coming full circle."

Mel has also admitted that she would like to have another baby when the time is right.

"Not right now, because Angel’s only one and we want to enjoy the kids we’ve got. But in the future, we plan to have one… or two!"

Greatest Hits Is Number 2

Well, as much as the fans probably tried to get the Greatest Hits album to #1 in the UK, sadly it has entered the UK charts at #2 behind X-Factor winner Leona Lewis' debut album "Spirit".

I am slightly bummed that it didn't reach the #1 spot, but at the same time I can't be angry because Leona does have a gorgeous voice and I love her album. Leona has achieved the honor of having the biggest selling debut album in UK history. Well Done!

The Greatest Hits did reach the number 1 spot in Australia. Way to go Aussie fans. Also, the Children In Need charity event ended up raising £19 million which beat last years earnings of £18.3 million.

(To see the video for Leona's debut single "Bleeding Love", visit my other blog "Impossible Prince".)

Spice Girls - Headlines [Children In Need Performance]

Our first look at the girls performing live. Fine, they're lipsynching but that's usual for them when it comes to doing performances of this nature. I'm loving that Melanie C is still the one who wears the pants (literally). Enjoy it.

Headlines Dropped

This isn't good news. It seems that the Spice Girls latest single "Headlines" has been dropped to BBC Radio 1's C-list, meaning that it will have a low play rotation. According to George Ergatoudis, Head of Music at Radio 1...

"The opinion of the Radio 1 playlist team is that the song isn't strong enough. Clearly there's a huge number of Spice Girls fans out there, look at the tickets they have sold. But 'Headlines' is very disappointing. The song simply isn't strong enough. It would have been a B-side in their heyday."

That kinda sucks for a song that is meant to be selling for charity. I hope to hell people are at least downloading the song or are going to be purchasing the physical single when it comes out. Most Pitiful. I personally think that it's a great song.

Greatest Hits Out Today!

No story really, just go get it.

Greatest Hits Commercial

The Greatest Hits album came out today in the UK, but I'm patiently awaiting it's North American release tomorrow.

This commercial for the album with Geri doing the voice over will tide me over until then. The beginning is a bit cut off but you get the idea.

Spice Up Your Life Kids!

Some of you are lucky to already have the Greatest Hits package released in your part of the world, but for the rest of you who will be buying it on Monday or Tuesday, here are a few pictures of what you can find in the the limited edition deluxe version.

Pictures: 1. The back of the special edition bag it comes in. 2. Two of the post cards that come enclosed. 3. An Inside look into the Karaoke CD booklet. 4. The friendship bracelette. 5. The Total Package.

Greatest Hits Booklet

The Greatest Hits album starts coming out this week in certain parts of the world, and thanks to a fan in Japan who has already received their copy, we now have a sneak peek at the booklet artwork. Plus, fans in the UK can now download the single for Headlines, the actual physical release of the single is November 19th with all the proceeds being donated to BBC Children In Need charity. How generous of them, that's reason enough to buy it for me (well that and the fact that we (the fans) want it to go to number 1).

Voodoo Lyrics

Okay, so apparently people like to have the lyrics in order to sing along to new songs, so after your downloading pleasure of Voodoo, you can also have a look at the lyrics. Enjoy.
