Q&As 4/23

[Mel B]

Hey you guys! Thank you for sending your great questions in. Sorry I can only answer one question per person, but that’s because there are so bloody many of you asking, which is great!! If you want to know what I’m doing everyday, check me out on my twitter. Username OfficialMelB. If not I’ll see you back here Thursday. For any of you that missed it, I had a great opening on Saturday April 18th. My star studded friends came out support me and see the show, Lindsay Lohan, Mr. Big (Chris Noth form Sex and the City), Perez Hilton, Boris Becker, Charlie Sheen, and many many more. Got some lovely flowers from Mel C, Scartlett and Tom!


Peace out! Kisses and Hugs!

Mel B



Q from Samuel Ch.:

Hi Melanie,

first of all thanks so much for answering my last question. It really made my Day!
My Question this week is: How many songs did you recorded for the Spice Girls Greatest Hits Album?
My 2nd question is: I bought 3 Champagne Corks with coins in it last year at your Ebay House Sale and I wonder if there might be a funny story about them.

Have a great week!

XXX

Samuel


A: Too many to count!!!




Q from Chapolin:

Hi Melanie, how are you?
It's always amazing see you replying these questions. We got hungry for this answers for years! Thank you for your patience.
Well, my questions are:

1 - Why have you asked for Brazilian flag on the TROSG official announcement if Brazil wasn’t in initial plans?
Every fan of you’re here wonder about it since it happened (there’s a video on you tube of you saying “where’s brazil? Where’s brazil one?”).

2 – Which U.S singer do you would like to do a duet?
(I’ve heard some rumors, in seat filler era, that Kelly Rowlland was interested in make some music with you).


God bless you and your amazing family!

XXXX


A: Just because I love Brazil!

There are so many I wouldn’t be able to choose just one, but sure enough you’ll be able to see just who on my next album


Q from Samuel Ch.:

Hi Mel,
first of all I just saw your new Photos from last night´s show and all I have to say is: WOW!!! You look hotter than ever!
My Question is: can we expect any Peepshow Merchandise with you like Posters, Mugs... Stuff like that? That would be fantastic!

Have a great time in Vegas!

Samuel


A: That’s all in the talks right now. I’ll let you know as soon as I know what merchandize is gonna be up or grabs


Q from unionjacklad:

Hello Mel,

First and foremost, I think it is appropriate to say congratulations and thank you for everything you and the Spice Girls have brought to this world.

I am a fan for life and always will be!

My question is...

How did you feel when your lift platform at the end of the spice girls tour descended below the stage for the last time ( hopefully in a while ) at the end of Spice up your life in Canada on the 26th of February 2008?

I recently came across a photograph of Emma (bless her) in tears as she waved goodbye for the last time.

I hope at some point, you get together and do another show as I missed the show in Manchester as my grandfather unfortunately passed away the week I was meant to be at the show. Obviously, there is no DVD so I’ll have to hope and pray for another show.

Thank you Mel! Congratulations everything! Good look in Peep show btw! Xxx

A: I felt excited and tearful!


Q from schizophonic:

Wanna go on a date with me?

Hi mel, i'm going to vegas in may to see your show and the night before i have tickets to see cher's concert.. would you like to come with me?

also, can you tell us which producers you worked with for your new album and what type of music it's going to be? i LOOOVED your first album and would love some great pop/r&b songs like pack your ****, feels so good, tell me, step inside, i believe, etc... great tunes!


A: I would if I could. But thank you for the offer

It’s definitely gonna have a feel of pop. I’m not sure which tracks will make it yet, there’ no point in me telling you what producers


Q from Vball:

Mel B,
Hi!! I think it’s great that you take out time in your hectic schedule to answer fan questions. You and the other spice girls are AMAZING!! It’s just something about yall that makes me happy and keeps me smiling. Long story short, well kinda short LOL, I had been out of the spice loop for about 8 or 9 years. All I had was the Spiceworld movie and the playstation game that reminded of the all good times me and my friends had sing songs and having fun. But about 4 months ago, I was watching TV and I saw a Spice Girls video on a commercial and I decided to get on the web and look up some videos. OH MY GOD, is what I said when I found out that yall had a reunion tour. Boy I would have did anything to get front row seats!! Thinking about how I didn’t know about it, I realized it was announced around the time I was at home, summer before college, and didn’t have a TV. Man, was I upset once I realized this, but I’ve been watching all the videos of interviews and performances that I can find, of yall as a group and individually, and I bought and read all of the autobiographies. Awesome stuff!! I’ve been catching up on lost time, as I explain to my friends, LOL. But I have been getting everyone around me to reminisce as well. But even with the time past, the connection I had with yall and the positive vibe yall give out inspires me everyday. I love to laugh. And that is something that you and the other girls can make people do without any effort really. It’s GREAT!! So, I want to thank you and the other girls for helping brightening my days, and keeping me laughing! And if I can, I’m gonna try to meet at least one of you. That would be the BEST!!

So, on to the question then….

Like I said before, I’ve been looking up videos of you and the other girls on the internet. Do you ever go on youtube and look up videos of yourself or the other Spice Girls, and like read the comments or anything like that??

P.S. I hope Peepshow did amazing on the first night!!


A: Yes I do occasionally.


Q from RyGuy395:

Greetings from Atlanta, Melanie! Huge, huge fan here.
Just curious if you have any funny stories about fans you've met and things. If they ask you weirdly questions, make you sign strange things, hehe.
Have you ever done karaoke before? I'm sure that people at the bar I frequent are tired to death of hearing my rendition of Spice Up Your Life & Wannabe, hehe.


Thank you Mel!!!!!!!!!!!!
- RYAN!

P.S. I have to say....the little "riverdance" bit in the Spice Up Your Life Reprise = AMAZING!


A: All of the fans are so sweet and nice to me. They’re the best.

Yes, but not in a long time. The last time I did it was with the girls in Japan.

Q from ivana_sw:

Hey Melanie!!
What is a typical day with Melanie B like?

ivana
montreal, canada


A: That’s a hard question to answer. It depends on if I have a day off or not but it usually involves, kids, food, play time and work time.


Q from Spiceworld:

Hi again Mel!

I have a question:
Are you part of a Spice fan forum such as DenDen? Are you a member?


A: No, but a few of my friends are


Q from Spiceworld:

Hi again!

If i send you a CD, would you sign it?

Also, would you maybe send it to the other girls to sign?


A: I can only speak for myself but if you send it to my fan club with a return address, I’ll def sign it and get it back to you.


Q from Spiceworld:

Hi!

Mel, whats the scraiest thing thats ever happend to you. Mine would be almost being killed in a car accident. It was horrible. I was fine, nothing broken or anything but one second later, i wouldnt be here! Scary or what!


A: That question is kind of hard to answer. I haven’t ever been in a car crash or anything that bad happen and hopefully never will.


Q from paul drewery:

Hey Mel, was you surprised by how many of us Spice fans are still "keeping the love alive" ? The intro music on the Return tour was great. REALLY REALLY want a LIVE CD if we can't get a DVD! Sort it out for us please, Scary! 19 need a kick up the ****.

Melanie C has said before that a Spice Girls Musical could work, do you have any thoughts on this? You're so much better than Abba.

Love Paul Drewery xxx

p.s. I love Mr Chippy in Leeds too.


A: I’m always grateful and thankful for what you guys do!!


Q from yagoo:

Hi Mel,

You looked really great performing on Peep Show! As I'm not in Vegas I only saw some pictures and videos and I can say you're incredibly hot! I loved your hair as well, as you said, it's really larger than life!

Well, my questions are.. how do you feel performing in those small outfits? do you worry about showing accidentally more than you would like to?

Also, I saw Lil Kim telling how she's happy to be collaborating with you in a new track. When and what may we expect of it?

YAY, I'm really excited, hope you answer me!

Lots of kisses from Brazil!


A: The outfits are so tight to my body there is absolutely no room for error thanks for your compliments

When it’s finished, I’ll be able to talk about it. But she’s an amazing artist and I love her music.


Q from Anthony_:

It's my birthday on the 23rd of this month.

Can I have a Happy Birthday wish?

Pretty damn cool to have Mel B wish me happy birthday, you should make a happy birthday video for me... haha pushing it now.

PS> Northerners!


A: Happy birthday to Anthony_ and JSpice85!!! May all of your wishes come true!


Q from Ezequiel:

Hi Melanie!! How are you?
My name is Ezequiel, i´m from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I World like to ask you some things. It’d be great if you answer them.

Firstly, I want to know what did you feel being on Dancing With The Stars
Was it an experience that added anything to your life or it marked a change in your career?
All of your fans have been watching you lately, every episode and although we couldn’t cast a vote for you (because of living away from the US) we were mad to see you win.
Do you feel like making part of another reality show again?

Can you give us some info about your character in Peepshow in Las Vegas? Will you get nude there? I saw you in some pictures, you are tooo sexy!

At last, does your third album exist? Is it real? Ha ha ha. We, your fans, have been especulating with that for over a year more or less and we’re crazy for it to getting released. I know you cannot give us any details but, I World like to know if it really exists and if you have planned to release it some day.

I love you, really I DO!
Eze!


A: DWTS definitely taught me so much about discipline, confidence and being true to yourself, I loved every minute of it,

Who knows what the future holds.

There is no nudity in the show my character is peep diva and it’s a amazing 25 million dollar production, directed by Jerry Mitchell


Q from RaFaH!:

Hi Mel!!!
I'm Rafael from Brazil...
How are you???
First of all...i just have to say you are amazing and have been an inspiration to me for all those years...and you're the spice girl that always make me laugh (A LOT!) - You are definitly funny! :P
but my question is:
What was your intention with the second album LA State Of Mind? Because you didn't promote it so much, and by the way there is only one single! This is something that i always think about and wanted an answer!
Oh...and when we can see you going for a walk here in Brazil?

Love ya soooo much! YOU MAKE MY LIFE BETTER!
Take care,
your biggest fan! :P


A: That album I kinda just did for me and my friends convinced me to release it. My next album will be way more publicized trust me.


Q from emily8:

Hey Mel B

I know its wrong to think this is funny but i LOVE it when you curse melanie sorry but its just sooooo freaking FUNNY!!!! Anyways my qustion is how was your opening show of Peepshow?? I'm dieing to know!! So wish i could have been there.


Love you always,
Emily XOXOX(I think that xoxo thing is cheesey but oh well)


A: The opening was absolutely amazing and greatly received thank god!


Scion5
Got you wondering there didn't I Mel ?

Anyway, hey! Thanks so much for answering my quessie before! I know you
must be sick-to-the-back-teeth of those irritating DVD questions, but I'd just
like to let you know, that us fans are no longer that bothered really about the
DVD, as we know it's impossible due to the quality of the recording not being
marketable. However, you've gone and gotten us all intrigued when you mention
this DVD that you have. We were wondering if you could possibly have some of
footage uploaded onto your official website for us to watch, or as a download
somewhere. You've done loads of work for charity in the past, why not as a paid
download, that we could donate to whatever charity you'd like, in order for us
to be able to download this amazing sounding footage.

BTW - Peepshow looks incredible, fetch it to Manchester and I'll be there!
Much love

A: The DVD that I have are owned and copyrighted by 19 management. I’m sure if you guys all write in then they will have to release some kind of footage for you guys. Sorry but It’s put of my hands.


CanadianGirl

Hi Mel,

I think this is really nice you taking the time to answer questions , i have many but today i'll just ask a couple.
I might be coming to Vegas, but not until July , do you think maybe you will still be doing the PeepShow through out the Summer??? Do you want too??

Also have you seen Baby Scarlet yet?

Hope you have a great day Mel!!

A: My contract is supposed to end at the end of June, I may extend it but haven’t decided yet. When I do, I’ll let you know.


SpiceBoy84
Hi Mel!
This goes back a little bit but I just wanted to say that I saw you in RENT and your performance was just beautiful. You captured the soul of Jonathan Larson's creation perfectly. Rent is my second obsession, after the Spice Girls of course! You brought together my two favorite things in the world. I have so many wonderful memories from that day and meeting you, I could go on forever!
My Questions are:
1.) Why the key change in "Another Day?" Musical Director's choice, or did you ask for the change so that it would fit more comfortably in your voice?
2.) WHY the different costume than the usual "Out Tonight" outfit? (Black pants instead of the bright blue pants.) Something they wanted, or a request from you?

My love to you and the Girls!
~Joe M.~

Samuel Ch.

First of all: You look so fantastic in the Peepshow! I´m really desperate to see it live!

My Question this week is: I wonder if you have already a favourite place in Vegas? Something special everyone should visit?

My 2nd question is: I bought 3 Champagne Corks with coins in it last year at your Ebay House Sale and I wonder if there might be a funny story about them.

Have a great week!

A: Mon Ami Gabi – A great restaurant on the strip, that has great es car go (that’s snails)


Hello didi
Hiya Mel !

I'm not really lucky with spice stuff since 1996 :

- Missed the concert in Paris in 1998 because of my stupid flight !
- Missed the Koln concert because of my exams !
- Can't afford to go to the USA to have a chance to meet you...

So if you answer my question I will be more than happy lol

- Have you ever been to Disneyland Paris ? (I work there) if yes what did you particularly like ? If no do you plan to come and visit us one day ?
- What do you think about the return of Michael Jackson on stage ?

Well that is all for now, wish you all the best in life (even tough you have everything, I mean...beauty, strenght, health, lovely husband and child...).

Elodie from Paris

A: I went to Disneyland Paris whne it first opened I caught the eurostar form London. I had so much fun. I also went to the Disneyland in Japan and in the States. I guess you could easily say that I love Disneyland no matter where it is.

I think whether you like Michael Jackson or hate him, that he is a legend and a great performer. I would definitely pay to go see him this time around.


FallenIdentity
Hello Mel!
Every day I get more and more inspired and just love you all the more when I get to watch new footage and videos and such with you, because you are such a bright spirit! Again, thank you!

So my questions tday is:

You got do to one of your "on stage" dreams while performing, which was to take a stranger up on stage from the crowd. Do you think you'll ever get to crowd surf???

Thank you so much Melanie!
Love you always!
Rea

A: That is something I wanted to do back in the day, but because all of our spice girl fans were under 10 it wasn’t possible. And now that I’m over 30, who knows if I’ll ever be able to. So who knows what can happen, watch this space.


Dreamaholic
Hi Melanie, I'm very interested in knowing more info about you and the girls working in studio, writing songs. OUTER SPACE GIRLS is a very fun and catchy track, can you tell us some interesting info about writing it? Where you got ideas from and who got the idea for M-G-M-V-E? thanks millions!!!

A: In general whenever the Spice Girls write together, it is one fun-packed, exciting, long day and night. If it comes to it a slumber party, and have fun and get excited together. and fuss over the words this and the. hahah?!


Hambre71Hi Mel,
I've just got a quick question, and it might sound dumb, but oh well. Ok, so are you able to receive mail, like letters from fans, where you are now?
thanks =]

A: Yes send it to my fanclub. The address is located on my home page at MelanieBrown.com.

I’m sitting at Planet Hollywood in my dressing room getting ready for my 7 pm show.

[TheBiatc*es]

Melanie, unless you've been lying all along, you're NOT over 39!

Thanks for doing this this week as well, although this time we must admit that the answers were pretty vague!

Good luck and keep up the good job!

[JSpice85]

Mel thanks for your Happy b-day wish!!!!
you made my day, my month and my year!!! LOL
THANK YOU!

[Samuel Ch.]

Thanks So Much!!!!!

[Kevsie]

Thanks for doing all this, Mel! xx
