Nostalgic Spice: Raw Spice Part 10

The end of the girly chat. It's amazing how much foreshadowing there was in this documentary, and that all of their individual personalities were there even then. So for those of you who thought that the Ginger, Sporty, Baby, Posh, and Scary labels were a gimic....think again.

The whole of the song "Take Me Away" from the showcase day and a bit of a one on one girly chat with each of the Girls. Victoria's singing voice is actually quite impressive on this song. She has a tendancy to quaver when she sings usually, but here she is really well put together.

The Girls rehearsing the songs We're Gonna Make It Happen and Take Me Away. Very 90's.

Bonus clips of the Girls from the Raw Spice documentary. Basically moments of the Girls in rehearsals uninterrupted.

Geri was not to be underestimated and is clearly not someone to mess with. The fact that she tracked down one of the producers at the showcase and convinced him to help them find new management because Chris and Bob were moving to slowly for their liking is pretty damn impressive. The Girls knew what they were destined for and how to get there more than Chris and Bob did so they made it there themselves.

Now, here they are reuniting. Amazing.

Showcase day. The day when the different music writers, and producers were invited to come meet the Girls and witness them in action. The girls still haven't been signed to a contract.

I think Geri could have been their manager. Watch as she speaks her mind when Chris Herbert says that he's afraid that she's going to turn them into a fluff group. The other Girls roles are also firmly established. Emma is very much the baby, Mel C is the peacemaker, and Victoria is scatty and sexy.

Notice how Geri says Melanie C brings a lot of "spice" to the group.

Take a look into the Girls bedrooms, their closets and a few of their fights. Geri and Melanie B really showcase themselves as the leaders of the group.

The second clip of Raw Spice shows the Girls living together in a small house in Maidenhead, and we also see how passionate Geri was even at the beginning.

It's about 6 hours until the Girls hit the stage for the first show of the Reunion Tour and I thought it would be fun to take a look at how it all started for our Fab Five.

This is the first clip (of 10) of the documentary "Raw Spice" which features the Girls meeting each other for the first time to form a Girl group which would have been known as Touch. Chris Herbert and his father Bob placed an Ad in the Stage newspaper looking for Girls who were ambitious, streetwise, outgoing, and dedicated. I bet he never would have guessed how ambitious this lot was.

Nostalgic Spice: Who Do You Think You Are? Live @ The Brits '97

This (now infamous) performance of Who Do You Think You Are from the 1997 Brit Awards, was the first time I had ever seen or heard of the Spice Girls, and it basically cemented me as a fan.

The energy, the fun, Geri's Union Jack dress, Victoria's hair, the choreography, everything about this performance was amazing to me.

Have fun watching this nostalgic spice moment. The first of many to come.
