Biography
SPICE GIRLS Music Group During the existence, more than 80 million disks sold. The team is rightfully considered to be a cumier of young people of the end of the 90s. Cute participants with ease conquered the British, and then the global show business. True, sometimes the popularity of singers went beyond the scope of reasonable - after the departure of one of the "Perchok", the UK covered a wave of suicide.The history of creation and composition
The biography of the maiden pop group, who released a debut album in circulation of 28 million, began with ads in the newspaper. Successful managers of Lindsay Kesborn, Bob and Chris Herbert wanted to release an unusual project to the world scene. The producers decided to collect a purely female team, which will compete with boning batons.
Placing an announcement of casting in the newspaper, the employees of the music industry did not expect such a glance of those who want. Managers viewed more than 400 contenders. The final choice producers were made in April 1994, a month after the launch of the project.
The initial composition of the TOUCH group is such a name received a newly formed team - Jerry Halluell (Horner), Victoria Adams (Victoria Beckham), Michel Stevenson, Melanie Brown and Melanie Chimetolm.
2 months after the start of the rehearsals and the first attempts to write down the single became clear that Michelle Stevenson falls out of an organically selected team. The participant was replaced by Abigel Kis, which lasted in Gerlz Banda a couple of months.
Upset producers were already going to declare repeated casting when, on the recommendation of the familiar vocal teacher, Emma Banton was invited to the test record. In September 1994, the composition of the new female musical team was fully assembled.
Soon it became clear that the vision of the future group among girls and managers does not coincide. Touch participants did not suit the repertoire and name. After several months of incessant conflicts, the singer broke up a contract with producers.
The idea of changing the name on SPICE came to the head of Jeri Halluell and Melanie Chiholm, which had already received the nickname melanie si. In order not to be confused between two melanie, the girls took the pseudonyms: the first letter of the family was added to the name of both participants.
I liked the new name vocalists, but it turned out that such a group already exists. At the general meeting, the problem was solved quickly. The word Girls added to Spice. Simon Fuller spoke to the collective manager, who quickly knocked out a contract with Virgin Records for developing Quint.
In May 1998, Spice Girls left Jeri Halluell. The artist decided that it was time for a solo career, but evil tongues put forward a version that the former participant earned a "star disease". At this time, the video of the Viva Forever song came out to the esters of music TV channels, where singers are present in full. Fans did not guessed about the impending collapse of the team.
Gradually, all vocalists of the popular team began to pay more time to their own projects. At the same time, no one claimed for dissolution of the group of the group. In 2001, each of the "Perchok" has already been engaged in solo creativity.
In 2016, articles appeared in the press that Spice Girls dream of back to the scene. The only thing that prevented the reunification of pop stars is the unwillingness to join the team of Victoria Beckham and Melanie Chiholm. There were rumors that the rest of the participants of the Gerls Band agrees to replace the protesters on new girls.
Jerry Halluell, Emma Banton and Melanie Brown united as a GEM trio. The group was called from the site dedicated to the project. In a conversation with journalists, Brown explained that GEM is not a separate team, but part of Spice Girls. It is worth noting that Beckham and numbers did not object to the idea. The artists managed to record the track Song for her, but because of the pregnancy of Halluell, the work of the trio suspended.
In February 2018, the world had shielded the news that Spice Girls plan to reunite in full and intend to launch a concert program in the near future and even television show. The news did not cause the expected excitement, since such a message appeared before.
In 2019, the team again united for a new tour. Unfortunately, Victoria was not able to join his friends, as the businesswoman tied career obligations. SPICE WORLD - 2019 TOUR started in Dublin.
Music
In December 1996, the first album of the group was released, called Spice. The release of the debut disk was preceded by the single Wannabe and the clip on the same musical composition. A month before the official release of the spot, Spice Girls presented the Say You'll Be There song. The colorful roller was shot in the Mojave Desert in California. After the premiere of the video about the team that appeared, they spoke in Europe.No one expected the Album Spice will receive a recognition of a similar level. Disc 7 times acquired the status of platinum in the United States and 10 times in the UK. In order not to miss the wave of popularity, in December 1996 the group releases the Single "2 Become 1". This time for the filming of the video, the pepperns did not go to the USA, and the footage against the night of New York appeared due to the green screen.
November 1997 was marked by the release of the 2nd album. Unlike the 1st disk, the girls beyond the vocal independently wrote several songs included in the collection. The success of the plate was practically not inferior to debut creation. Posters with photos of British performers hung in the rooms of millions of adolescents around the world.
In support of the second album in 1998, the celebrities went to the world tour of The SpiceWorld Tour. The Gastro Schedule "Perchok" entered Europe, Canada and the United States. Tickets for each concert bought long before the start. And the places on the show in Los Angeles ended 7 minutes after the start of sales.
In November 2000, the collective discography was replenished with the 3rd album. Unfortunately, the Forever drive, the work on which was conducted for 2 years, did not repeat the success of the previous ones. Nevertheless, the record occupied the 39th place in the top of the American Billboard Weekly.
A new surge of activity fell for 2007. Spice Girls released the Greatest Hits Collection, which gathered the best creation of the group since 1995 and 2 fresh songs: Voodoo and Headlines. The participants went to the world tour, for whom Beckham again repainted in the brunette. Despite the fact that concerts in most countries had to cancel "personal and family reasons", each peppercota earned about $ 20 million.
The vivid appearance of the team was the performance at the Olympics in London. At the closing ceremony of the Summer Games in 2012, Spice Girls sang the 1st single Wannabe and the song Spice Up Your Life. After the bright show of past years, 5 beauties entered the center of Wiembli Stadium on cars. Unfortunately, the hopes of fans did not come true, and the public had to forget about the reunification of the team.
