Introduction:
Further information:
NOTE: Although this is a site about the Spice Girls, and not a very serious matter, it is only intended to contain correct facts and information. Much of which is already well known by many people through the media. |
Even though the Spice Girls have become celebrities with alot of money, they were once unknowns,
and lived and grew up in the same world as everybody else, and were exposed the same things.
The members of the Spice Girls were in the ages 7-13 years old when the Jem cartoon was
on TV, and the videos, dolls and a number of other accessories were in stores. Not to
mention the Jem merchandise that was especially manufactured in and only for the UK, which
was more than in most countries outside the USA.
They were five girls who had many opportunities
to find out about Jem, and grew up to be five women with no careers.
What made the Spice Girls a success, is no doubt the concept of the group.
How many of them could have started solo, and how many can even handle their solo careers today?
Look at how their careers have developed after their time in the Spice Girls.
The biggest achievement of them nowadays are their relationships with other famous people,
and releasing practically anonymous albums.
Geri loves toys!
In the documentary that Geri suggested would be filmed, to show what happened in her life after she left the Spice Girls, Geri insists on going into a toystore to look at the toys, and expresses how much she loves toys.
At the end of the documentary, Geri's home is filmed, where a Spice Girls Geri doll and some doll accessories can clearly be seen. The doll accessories are marked "Sindy", which is a doll made by the toycompany Hasbro, the same toycompany that made the Jem dolls. Mel C has alot of toys by Hasbro! Apparently Mel C is very fond of toys like Cabbage Patch Kids and Sindy, made by Hasbro, the toy company that made the Jem dolls. In an interview in the UK pop magazine TV HITS, Mel C was asked the question "Do you still have your childhood teddy bears?" and Mel C replied: "I've got a Cabbage Patch Kid, and a rag doll that I was given by a relative, and I can't bring myself to throw them away." Later in the interview Mel C was asked "Did you ever own a dolls' house?" and Mel C replied "Actually I did 'cos I owned loads of Sindy dolls, I still have them and they've still got the punk hair do's I gave them. The Sindy house was too expensive for us so my step-dad ended up making me one." Annie Lennox' singing teacher! Except for the many possibilities where the Spice Girls could have seen Jem in several forms, there's also another way they can have found out about Jem. Jem's singing voice studied with the same singing teacher as Annie Lennox did. The Spice Girls ex manager Simon Fuller was the manager of Annie Lennox. So if Simon Fuller knew, or was even the one who got Lennox in contact with her singing teacher, then it's possible that Simon Fuller met Jem's singing voice and learned about Jem. How Mel C fits into the group? Mel C's mother was singing in a group in her youth, and have been singing on her own since. It probably got her all kinds of connections in the business. It has been said that Mel C was the only girl who made it through in the first audition of the Spice Girls. But what got Mel C in the group so fast, and at all? Was it the fact that she played football, that she dressed in sport clothes and baggy mens clothes, or that she wanted to be like her idols in Take That? As can be seen in early Spice Girls documentaries, Mel C was a huge fan of Take That, had posters just about everywhere, and didn't mind showing people her favorite poster. Even if using her mothers connections, Mel C would have needed something more to make it in the music industri, like perhaps a winning concept that hadn't been used in the music industri before. That's where Jem come in. If Mel C presented the concept to them, she might have gotten to be involved in picking out the other girls to fit into it. This scenario would explain later events in the Spice Girls "career", like why Mel C has usually been in charge, and gotten all the benefits, like why Mel C has first choice of the songs for her solo career, written by the Spice Girls' song writers, and why she happened to be the one who got to do a duet with Bryan Adams, when he asked for any of the girls.
