Thank you to all of you who posted your questions. It’s a groggy day here in Vegas, so you all managed to cheer me up. Thank you!!! Just like last week I’m doing this during one of my breaks, so if some of the questions are the same I only have time to answer it once. So make sure you look through all of the other answers.

Sending you all of my love!!! Keep smiling!


Mel B.



Q by Guilla:

Hi Mel!
I want to know if you are still in contact with Geri because I think your friendship are soooo beautiful and true. I read your biography and what you wrote about her was really lovely and what she wrote about you in her biography was really lovely too.
During the tour I saw you´re so close and that´s really cute to see.

Thank you Mel.
Love ya


A: Yes I am still in contact with all the girls. They are my best friends and I love them lots. I couldn’t live without any of them!!!


Q by TheBiatc*es:

Hey Melanie, thanks so much for replying to our other question, it totally made our day! We have another one for you: what was your favourite song to perform on tour back in 1998? And what about the reunion tour? Did it change?

We can't wait for your new album! Actually, you should duet with Emma, or at least tell her to release something herself! She's BRILLIANT and we bet she's your favourite Spice Girl! Only joking!

Thanks in advance and take care!

Love you! S & J xxx


A: “Wannabe” is always going to be a favorite to perform! All 5 of us have so much fun with that song.


Q by Karim:

Hi Mel! It's Karim from Lebanon again!

thanks for answering my previous question, your answer was thrilling! Melanie B in my city, WAWAWEWA! but id be sad if u come and go without me knowing so i hope there could be some kind of announcement so i get to see ya!

I have a question, will the peepshow be shot so the fans outside the US and who cannot make it get the chance to see your performance?

and another thing id like to mention about the Spice girls tour dvd.. we the fans are dying to see official full footage of the concert. whether on dvd, or youtube quality, we dont care, we just want the footage to see the concert again and relive the experience. I wish it could be uploaded online and the management could do a "pay to download" thingie for the fans, or else I hope the footage gets leaked online, we are THIRSTY for the return of the spice girls concert footage...

but whatever happens make sure that we are not mad at you, and we know its not your fault. we love you xx

Karim


A: I’m not sure if Peepshow is going to be shot for the fans outside the US and who cannot make it to see the show. I will certainly mention it to the company!!!


Q by Cael.Jones:

I must say, your character and personality are incomparable! Back in the day with the old SpiceZone forum, I did have the user name, Blazin' Bad Zula, not only because you were amazing in the Say You'll Be There video, but because the name just kicks ***!

My question is regarding your first solo endeavor. I've always been interested in compiling information regarding material that was written, demoed or both for all the girls solo careers as well as the band. I have spent years going over publishing databases, and even formed a website posting the information, and out of all the girls, you are the one that has eluded me most. Obviously, the only material that anyone has found on these databases ended up on Hot (amazing!), par Word Up and Sophisticated Lady, which obviously both were on the Word Up release. I was curious if it was a very concentrated session that only resulted in these tracks, or if you like many artists demoed dozens of songs that just didn't fit what you were trying to accomplish. Roughly how many songs do you recall doing?

*Sorry if that's a bit LONG, but I've waited years to have the possibility of that question being answered, lol.


A: I demo-ed at least 20 songs and then picked the best that I felt represented me.


Q by xVeronikax:

Hi Mel!
My name is Veronica and I'm your huge fan from Germany.
I'd like to ask which one of your photoshoots do you like best and who's your favourite photographer

Love,
Veronica
Xx


A: My recent shoot I did for Ultimo I thoroughly enjoyed, because I got to play dress up in burlesque. It was a fun day.

My favorite photographer would be Mario Testino. We did an Italian photo shoot. He’s so crazy, wild and energetic. And his pictures are beautiful.


Q by @ldoSpice:

Hi Mel B,

it was the reunion of the spice girls tour the last chance to dance(the last tour ever) or are we going to do another tour in the future?

why not a wembley stadium date in your future? and why not for the return of the spice girls tour?

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

@ldoSpice


A: We agreed as a group that that would be our last tour, that’s why our tour was so amazing!


Q by cfaye5830havez4191:

The girl who never fails to put a smile in my face Mel B.
I love you without a doubt your inner strength has helped me alot, you music means more than you will ever know. From "Viva Forever" to "Feels so good". I want to thank you for what you do and for letting people know its ok to be yourself and never feel less then others. My question for you is, how did you feel when you were rising to the stage with the ROTSG? I love performing and I just would like to know how it feels to perform in front of more than 20,000 people?
Oh and I saw you perform in Chicago FEB.15, and you screamed "F**K ME I LOVE CHICAGO!" that just made the show more fun!! hahaha. When you coming back to Chicago!! I wanna meet you Mel!!!

And Mel I Wanna Know Whose Is It?......ITS MINE ITS MINE ITS MINE ITS MINE!!!!
Hope to hear new music from you soon!!!

Love,

Ray


A: Thank you for your kind flattering words. But I’ve always thoroughly enjoyed performing with the Spice girls. But this last tour was really something special. The butterflies and the excitement before we got on stage was unforgettable. We would all actually look into each other’s eyes and would scream before we went on stage.

And you’re right I really do ****ING LOVE CHICAGO!!!!


Q by faye5830:

you are such a remarkable person. I was wondering if you will ever make it to michigan again?


A: I hope so!!!!


Q by JSpice85:

Hello Mel! I’m Alex from Colombia, huge fan of yours and the girls for almost 13 years now! Wow that’s more than half of my life!!! Well, first of all I wanna thank you for being the biggest inspiration to me and for making me smile everyday since I was 11. I’m the director of The Spice Girls official Fan Club in Latin America, supported by EMI Music, and traveled all the way from here to see you and the girls in L.A. and Vegas 5 times ( front row, YAY!). I’ll never be able to forget that tour, the best memories and dreams coming true belong to those days! Thank you and congratulations for the amazing show!!!

Also, I wanted to let you know that Totally Fit is working awesome for me!, I’ve lost 8 pounds in 3 weeks, and that’s all because of you!! Thank you very much.. see?? You keep being my inspiration for all positive things in life… actually, I wish I could be in “Sunny LA LA land” every time I work out lol!...

So my question is : Is there any chance Totally Fit could be distributed in Latinamerica?. There’s plenty of fans who would like to buy it, but some of them can’t afford shipping when ordering it through Amazon. The best of luck on Peepshow YOU’LL BE GREAT AS ALWAYS.

Hopefully if I graduate from College on time I’ll be able to come see you perform in Vegas! Love you loads!

Ps. Please say hi to Phoenix. Happy belated birthday

Alex
Xxx


A: Wow 8 pounds that’s great! Keep up the hard work!

Thank you for all of your support for all of these years. And thank you for running the fan club. As of right now, it’s not distributed there. But I will definitely put a word in to Warner Brothers.


Q by SpiceUpYourLife:

Hey Mel!

Just wondering, do you still keep in touch with the other Spice Girls? If so, how often? I came to see your tour and you was amazing! So sad that was the last ever tour

Also, are you planning on coming to London to do some more signings etc after the peep show> I would love to meet you! You are amazing! Have fun doing the peep show

Xxxx


A: I will definitely be in London in July, hopefully at the end of Peepshow.


Q by luce18:

Hi Mel,

I was lucky enough to see you three times, and once with front row seats () to see you at the O2 on the Reunion Tour – best time of my life, amazing show and I still can’t believe I actually managed to see you in concert! After following you from the age of 8, I never thought I'd get to do that and now I have (complete with a full set of merchandise and another excuse as to why I constantly listen to all the CD's ) - thank you so much for doing the tour and for making me so happy!

My question was, how did you decide on your solo song, and are there any special reasons you chose ‘Are You Gonna Go My Way?’ instead of one of your singles? I’ve always wondered how artists choose a set list or which singles to release!

When I saw you all had solo songs, I hoped you might choose ‘Tell Me’ (as it’s my favourite single of yours) but that said, your choice was brilliant and I enjoyed your performance immensely! It was full of energy and I really looked forward to seeing it every time I saw the show. Was it your favourite number in the show as you could do what you wanted?

I hope you are well and Peepshow goes amazingly for you. Good luck with everything you do, you're brilliant

Luce

Ps. Thanks for taking time out to answer Forum Questions, must be hard to keep up with it all as you're so busy, but it's greatly appreciated!

A: Because I didn’t have a rock song on my album, I felt like I had to do a cover. Since I am a big fan of Lenny Kravitz, I thought that “Are You Gonna Go My Way” was a perfect fit. It was definitely one of my favorite numbers, but my favorite one to perform was “Holler”, because we got to treat our dancers like dogs!!!


Q by Melina:

Hey Melanie,

I started your DVD about 2 weeks ago, and I must say you know what you are doing!! I'm just now able to keep up with you! I have already started to lose weight since having my baby. (I have two girls also 2 and 10 mo.) My question is will you be releasing another fitness DVD?

I will be in Vegas to see PEEPSHOW in May front row I cant wait!!!


A: I’d love to release another fitness DVD!! I’m just monitoring how this one goes first, but so far so good!

Keep up the good work with the work out!!!

Q by Sylvi:

Woooow this is a dream, one Spice Girls is answering our questions.
Hiiiii , I'm Silvia from Canary Island.
I saw you in Madrid the last Christmas (2007) on the tour it was great, i get frozen when i saw all of you in front of me, sooooo beautiful, OMG, I think that a dream could become reality .
This are my questions: Have you been in one island of Canary Island with the spice girls or without theirs? If yo been in Canary Island in wich Island have you been?. Why you didn't sang a song of your cd on the Tour with the Spice Girls? The totally fit are going to comercialize in Spain or in what countries are going to comercialize?


Kisseeeeeeees


A: I’m been to many places, but the Canary Islands I haven’t. But I’d love to.

As of now the Totally Fit are sold in UK, America, and Canada, or online.


Q by Melanie’s Angel:

Would you ever like to appear on 'I'm a Celebrity get me out of here' or 'Celebrity Big Brother'?

I've never been a fan of them shows as there's hardly anyone I know goes on there but I think you would make the shows real fun to watch


A: Those kinds of shows are fun to watch, but I don’t think they would be fun to be on.


Q by andit

Hi Mel
Im from switzerland and im a big fan of you.
Are looking forward to do some movies or TV-shows?

My second Question. What do ypu think about the movies The seat filler, Telling Lies and Ld50 nad your parts?


A: Movies and TV are definitely something I want to be doing more of!

From the movies that you mentioned I thoroughly enjoyed being in them


Q by Melanie M.:

Hi Mel,

Thanks so much for answering my questions last week - it made my day!

I have two more questions for you:

1. The five of you girls gave us loads of laughs during the Return of the Spice Girls reunion tour. What is your funniest memory from the tour?

2. Was it you or Geri who decided to modify the reunion tour's version of "Wannabe" so that the lyrics were "I'll tell you what I want, what I mother****ing want?"

Thanks Mel!!!


A: The funniest memory from the tour was when we were in New York staying at the Four Seasons. We created our own top floor party, with tiny little cheap speakers and an iPod!!! And we danced the night away and raided the bar!!!

As for the wannabe song, it wasn’t set in stone we just said those things whenever we wanted.


Q by reopen:

Hi Mel, new on this board but a massive fan.
Roumers are currently circulating on the offical Melanie C forum that you have dumped the idea of the 3re album, is this true (i hope not)?


A: Not at all!!! I had to put a hold on the album as I’m rehearsing for Peepshow. I’ll be back in the studio at the end of this year working on it again



Q by Melanie’s Angel:

Are you a member on the Melanie C forum?

I was just asking out of interest as there's been a argument going on over there. It started as someone asked if Melanie had a cesarean and it's got abit heated ha ha.
I have my own thoughts on the subject as I've had 2 cesareans myself

So my next question is have you ever got into a argument on a forum and noone knows who you are on there?


A: No, I haven’t been on to the Mel C forum. And no, I have never gotten into an argument on a forum.



Q by blazinbadzula:

What did you do for St. Patrick's day (besides rehearsing of course)?

A: I actually had a day off and spent it by the pool with my kids and my husband.


Q by qizmo:

hey Mel,,

would you ever go on Most Haunted if you was asked. I think it would be funny to se scary spice in a haunted location lol


A: That show terrifies me too much!!! If you can believe that!! I can’t even watch a scary movie without screaming and being on the edge of my seat.


Q by tiagohm:

Hi Mel!

Its true that you have a house here in Brazil? Whats the city? When was the last time you come here??

Mel I love you, I hope that Totally Fit and your new album gonna be released here.


A: My place is in the city of Porto Seguro in Bahia. I was there 5 years ago, but I’m definitely due a visit very soon.


Q by chapolin:

Hi Melanie, how are you doing??

Brazilian fans are excited for your music comeback and we're going to have a Spice Party here in Rio de Janeiro on April, 4 to celebrate (I'm already rehearsing my feel so good routine to perform there).

I have 2 questions:

1 -Why Hotter wasn't released as a single? It's Hot best song!!
2 -Why have you not peformed any of your amazing self songs on The Return of Spice Girls Tour solo part?

Scary rules!!!
XXXX


A: Good question I don’t know why it wasn’t released as a single either!!!

Good luck with your show on April 4th!

Thank you Mel for answering my question. I actually went to a gay bar, drank too many Sex on the Beaches, and danced with some drunk gay guy on St. Patty's day. Not important, just thought I'd share. :p
