This was amazing. I love to hear about the early days and the writing sessions. Their chemistry can't be matched with any other pop or girl group. They were so original and unique. Iconic ladies.

[@charlotteborland2105]

It's nearly my 25 th birthday its on the 9th of may

[@shaggypoo4120]

Yea if it's something like Geri bringing a male dancer to the studio I would want to know further deets 🤭

[@benanderson3033]

Really appreciated you talking about WOMAN and your honesty about the 2007 tour. Thanks Mel! 💜

[@DRANGULSKI]

Melanie, we need a Live Show with acoustic versions. I’ll give you my setlist: 1. Who I Am 2. Northern Star 3. This Time 4. What If I Stay 5. Burn 6. Reason 7. I turn to you 8. You’ll get yours

[@cominup85]

I'd add to that Closer and One Minute :-)

[@julianeclaudi5480]

Thank you Biff for offering this Q&A. How lovely he is! 😍 Best Q&A so far! Thank you Melanie and Biff! 🙏

[@shaggypoo4120]

SG faxx made from the video: - SUYL mv was supposed to be filmed on a mountain in India - The girls had separate recording of _Headlines_ - Geri and Mel B were homeless at the time of writing Wannabe - WOMAN is an unfinished demo after all and we'll never gonna hear it - Spiceworld 2019 dvd is dead too

[@jhsen]

So release WOMAN demo version, leak it, or whatever. We'd just like to listen to it demo.

[@benjaminstubbs-mindsetcoac5871]

Omg, this was SO bloody brilliant. Being a fan since 1996 to hear all the stories etc was so good and I was riveted to the screen. If you do another with Biff I would love to ask a question...will keep an eye out. P.s My question/s would be...What did Biff think of the Forever album...and what were his favourite tracks from it and why?

[@benjaminstubbs-mindsetcoac5871]

...and another! haha. If Headlines was recorded in stages/solo-y how did it get written? Headlines for me was overly knocked. I still enjoy it to this day. The chorus/post chorus are sublime.

[@jordanpittmanmusic4753]

The cool thing about Bsides is that they are typically more experimental than album tracks. It is cool to hear unfinished tracks IMO

[@kaladharbattepati7386]

This is very nostalgic! I have only seen Biff's name on the album credits and its good to put a face to the name (FINALLY)! He's handsome! :D

[@myTechGuard]

The very amazing dialouge!!!😍💖💗💞💗💖😍 Thanks!

[@JaneKellie-uh3mo]

This is amazing. Well done to your brother !. I respect you're getting on your bikes raising funds with love for the NHS. ❤ A Great Talk Between Melanie and Biff 👍✌️🫡🫡🫡

[@jonygq]

You're a star. I too feel happiest knowing that all of you now seem happy and more united. If that extraordinary friendship between all of you cultivated over 25 years with its ups & downs is not worth fighting for then what is? We just need to get Victoria back in the "zone", when she's ready of course. Love you Mel! Sending love to Biff too.

[@avrilartepuente1705]

I am watching all the Q&A again. I can't believe it has been 2 years! Melanie gave us so much hope through those days.

[@carolinahoffman8310]

Amazing! Incredible! Brilliant! Love this and can’t wait til your next live Q&A!

[@spiceboy48]

Loved watching this last night. We opened a few bottles of wine and watched it. Felt like we were having a night in with Mel C! Lol. Never heard them talk in detail and so candidly about the creative process - super interesting

[@iamz33r0]

Awww Biff is such a QT! Would love to work with him someday!

[@ManCalledMif]

❤️ 54:41 B-sides and leaked tracks. From the fans' point of view, I don't think fans mean any harm by critiquing leaked music. It really is just love for all the possible music that could be. B-sides allow the fans to see another side of the artist. Leaked music is different. Music making is collaborative and there needs to be a lot of trust. It would be pretty outrageous for a collaborator to leak someone else's music. That would be a violation of trust and could be very hurtful. It's hard enough making a living from music without being undermined. Having said this, fans love new material, especially secret stuff! 🤔🤗

[@jamesclinickdonnelly2015]

The Robot Boogie it’s like anything an artist doesn’t want to release music they don’t like the end result or even if the so called fans want it. I’m struggling to call some people fans the attitude toward Mel and biff on her is so rude

[@mistera1213]

I absolutely loved this, made me feel emotional. Biff seems like such an awesomely lovely man. And hot too!

[@gorfsixtyfour4030]

YAY Australia 🇦🇺 Still showing how much we love Mel C and the spice girls... still waiting for a concert down under one day 🤞🏼❤️❤️

2 of my questions were chosen on that day! :) I still get excited when you read the first of my 2 questions, which happens to be the very first question of this Q&A, and watching you repeating my name is everything! I should make it my ringtone

[@startfun7361]

Does anyone know if the Spice Girls animation movie by Paramount is still on? I been waiting to hear an update on this. I want that movie to happen so bad!!!!!!!

[@rjh007shsu]

Lovely man, this was great 💙

[@jeremiah007]

Take me home is the most amazing song!! #justiceforthebsides

[@TiariMoore]

I am loving these live video's and I love mel and respect her but saying the fans should wait until the unreleased music is done and ready to be heard would make since if the songs were actively being reworked otherwise they will never be heard and the spice girls fans have heard titles of unreleased songs for 25 years now and are curious to hear them. The spice girls haven't released an album in 20 years because everyone has different commitments which is understandable, but the desire to hear more music is still there and not being met. I think that's why fans ask to hear unreleased music is because if new music isn't being released for solid reasons which we do understand than the next best thing is to put out unreleased songs so the fans can experience music that they've never heard before and at the same time that artist doesn't have to set aside studio time they can just send unreleased songs off to be mastered. More people love the bsides and rare songs than people who don't and I understand wanting to put your best foot forward musically but if no music is being released and then something leaks who ever leaked it, their ability to leak it could have been taken away if it had been released already like the fans have been asking for. I love mel and the spice girls I have so much love for them but I think this subject of unreleased music is a big subject and could benefit further from healthy respectful discussions. I say respectful because its better for both sides to understand each other. Once again I'm just trying to say this is a respectful and honest way because I do love the spice girls 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

Woman was not sang at Wembley , just at the Earl’s Court shows . How can this be performed live without having a studio version finished ? Anyways great q&a ! Thank you x

And we will keep on asking about woman lol i totally understand what they are saying in terms of it not feeling right or complete but honestly fans wouldnt care about that. When you love a band for as long as we have, you just wont to hear as much music as possible. But it does seem like we probably wont hear it unless biff himself leeks it.

[@shaggypoo4120]

What makes you think Biff would leak it lol go ahead pry it from his cold dead hands

I can't believe Melanie and Biff answered my question about how Wannabe was written about getting into 5 crazy girls headspace etc.... I missed it live, gutted but thankyou for that, it really put a massive smile on my face. Just a shame I didn't phrase the end of the question properly.

#AskMelanieCLive hello from Greece Mel!These sessions are such a nice company in these hard times! Love you ♥️My question is, after the Forever album (which i love, it still sounds so fresh and current)did the 4 of you discussed the possibility of releasing one more album as a 4piece? There were many rumour back in the day and I'm so curious what muaically direction you would choose.

[@Malwinkazajaczki]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@rosscleofe6103]

my question is, where was VB when Wannabe was being written and recorded??

[@dontellahfonne]

I think I read she was at a wedding or something that she had to go to.

[@rosscleofe6103]

Yeah Ive read about that too....i was just thinking that the Spice Girls even back then were not VB's main priority, which is showing fully now. I was hoping that another Spice Girl (Mel C) will explain VB's absence, once and for all.

[@dontellahfonne]

@@rosscleofe6103 They said they did Wannabe in a day so that is only one day she missed. Victoria has been involved in every Spice-related event until their musical and the 2019 tour, so I wouldn't say SG were not a main priority for her, she just had a prior engagement to attend to on that day.

[@quinzelharley4254]

So they don't really need posh to do the remake of wannabe or to celebrate wannabe anivesarry, because she has nothing to do with it when they write and recorded wannabe lol.

[@rosscleofe6103]

One thing that I need to say is: W.O.M.A.N. is better, BETTER song than "Headlines" and 10.000 times better than "Voodoo"

I dont see what's wrong with Voodoo I think its fab. Get up and use your voodoo you know you want it bad 🎤

Shut up... all you have to do is listen Headlines until you convince yourself its a good song hahaha worked with me

I think it will take time again to get these girls work together, it's been so hard to get them together before what more now we still have covid19. Geri begins to go back writing a novels/book it's her priorities now, Emma wants to get pregnant, Lazy Victoria just want to stay as you tubers. C'mon girls, why not become screen writers, write a story about spice girls or write a new songs, or do a TV series. The world loves the spice girls, Spice Girls should powered up the whole world.

[@rayoflight6505]

Melanie comes across as rude about the unreleased tracks imo, just because she isn't keen on them doesnt mean they are bad and don't deserve to be heard.

[@andrewwintrip4565]

I kinda felt that vibe to. I respect the decision but just think its the wrong one, you basically have the majority of your fan base saying,hey we already like that song, the live version. And its been sooo many years of the same topic being brught up and asked if we can hear the studio version. Why continue to say no and because its a bside or isnt mels favourite song etc then stuff what the fans want..doesnt seem logical

[@andrewwintrip4565]

Would have been nice to hear them talk a little more about other unheard tracks esp from the touch era..would have been interesting

[@jaissapierce4057]

Probably cuz she’s tired of being asked about it. Or idk if you were watching this when it was live but some people were being a bit rude about it in the live chat. Seriously, one person was saying they would kill themselves and blame her for it if they didn’t release it so that could also be a reasoning behind her tune about it.

[@rayoflight6505]

@@jaissapierce4057 That's sad and I truly feel for that person as they need help but most fans aren't like that they just want to hear the tracks as the Spice Girls have a small catalogue. S Club 7 are a good example of how to handle it, they were asked about unreleased track "Rain" for years and couldn't even remember it but ensured it was put on the re release of their Greatest Hits to please their fans.
