This is so exciting. I feel as though Mel C’s solo stuff is so underrated. She has so many songs that weren’t hits that should have been

[@erikm8372]

Wasn’t she like, the biggest solo Spice Girl, besides Geri?

Here it Is the ubiquitous _"underrated"_comment on every You Tube comment thread

[@tony-c303]

I'm glad that Mel still active and releasing music (and consistently good). She truly deserves to be considered a legend. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@konargyriou8165]

What a magical voice when she sings Reason live! Amazing. One of her most robust albums, despite the negative or mixed critiques

[@kylerowe9552]

I’d love more of her albums documented in this style

[@mohamedanisferchichi2071]

Please a documentary on her album the sea

[@kairogerbiltvedt5899]

That will i see too❤

[@amenkrahoamennoswemenukhol9840]

Mel C..has my favourite female voice ever

[@georgemeller7173]

black long hair really suits her and brings out her eyes

[@neilmyers605]

Reason's a great album but for me the Sea is Melanie's best. When you look at Melanie's solo work there is no doubt she produced a great body of work. Some of my favourite Melanie songs are "your mistake" "enemy" " next best superstar" "think about it" "home" "burn" "yeh yeh yeh" "if that were me" "let there be love" and many more. I love Melanie's pop rock vibe!

[@sounds0fmeows]

I think her point of view is that she's trying to in her mind that the next opening will be better than this one. Don't think it's because she actually believes that it's because she wants to think that to up herself each time

[@sounds0fmeows]

but it's a good quality album

[@JaneKellie-uh3mo]

Melanie Legend Crisolm ; The Sporty Spice 💪. Such a raw , straight talking, intriguing Interview with greater insights of Mel C's Life Journey. 👍❤

[@mahtorquatto]

My fave album of hers

[@luann_araujo]

On The Horizon is Mel C's biggest hit here in Brazil ❤🇧🇷

[@GlennWD]

Let’s Love & Yeh yeh yeh are sensational songs. 💥✌🏻💥

[@Aretha-bq4tt]

It should have been the first single

[@kylerowe9552]

Reason is my favourite album of hers for sure. I think the sea is her most accomplished work but reason still hits it every time for me

[@joanneskelton9304]

Another fantastic documentary ! I do feel that Melanie is very understated as a solo artist. She is an amazing song writer.

[@mohammedsherif2100]

Some of the B-Sides during this era were better than the songs that made it to the album, namely "I Love Without Trying" (co-written with Rick Nowels) and "Living Without You" (co-written with Richard "Biff" Stannard). Thank you for this documentary! xx

[@joshrichards2978]

And “Love to You” as well. Those 3 tracks actually are so strong, suprise those were disgard from the album

[@ukgladiatorsfan]

Reason is an amazing album. Just recently I was in Japan and found the Japanese pressing with bonus tracks. It’s just a great album really under rated

[@Bret121]

Fantastic first of all I can't believe it's the 20th anniversary of this album the follow up to Northern star I love this album some excellent tracks on it can't wait to watch this 👍🏻🎧🎵

[@musicislife.2602]

She performed brilliantly despite the injury. What a pro! This album has grown on me 🙌

[@Tphoenix34]

I bought this album when I was 14 I loved and still love every track. This album inspired me to step up with my songwriting and guitar playing! Thank you Melanie! You’ve always inspired me ❤

[@coquita2601]

thank you so much for making this.. not many people followed the spice girls solo careers closely... it was great to go back and remember all the little details i had forgotten about ❤

[@andreid.8568]

Just ordered her autobiography. Cannot wait to read her stories from this era

[@popunderrated]

I've not read it. You'll have to let me know if it's any good.

[@andreid.8568]

Promise!

This documentary is so amazing!! i wish you were doing one for every album of hers!! hehehehe congrats and thank u for such a nice work!!

[@popunderrated]

Thank you 🙏

[@jonmills5097]

This is one of my favourite Mel C albums !! Such an interesting transitional era for her and it should have done much better than it did !!

[@BebopDesigner]

Loved it. Thank you for putting this together and sharing it. ❤

[@avrilarteagapuente2701]

I cant wait, one week to have her in Mexico city again!!!

[@JacobW567]

It's still a mystery to me how this album didn't succeed and she was eventually dropped by her label... To me, this was a very good album after Northern Star ... the songs are all very good, really good! I like this album much more her recent albums that I feel are so polished and worked and reworked.... It ahs all, the rock songs, the pop, soulful songs, very intimate ones! To me, REASON, is a solid follow up to Northern Star ...Beautiful Intention was good too... however all that's after beautiful intention, to me, is 50/50

[@patrickwilhelm4552]

One of my favorite album of my childhood! Exited for this one!💖

[@palmaleandro8]

First off, congrats on your hard work as usual. The quality of this is unbelievable, you truly have put lots of work into this docu (and all of the others as well !). Then , even though I have a soft spot for this , I remember back in the day feeling quite puzzled when listening to the record. It was such a departure from NS… I guess even hardcore fans , as myself, were expecting something quite … different. Perhaps more upbeat , slightly “poppier”, and the Soul Boy , Loose Myself In You kind of knocked many of us up. She was done dirty by Virgin (they all did, after all), but I wonder how they let her get away with change of sound they’d never support . And it was clear from the beginning. Coming out of depression is tough, and maybe a lot of that process went through the creation of this album. She’d later pursue that rocky vibe with variable levels of success . I guess people , even fans , expected something quite different from her. Anyways, she’s an artist and deserves to be able to create anything she likes. I am all up for it , but you cannot expect to recreate the success of something like I turn to you with Melt. Anyways , This Time was even more confusing . I’m glad she’s going back to pop and dance now.

[@popunderrated]

Thanks for watching

[@fitnessfreak7851]

I am loving these videos that go in depth to solo careers and album eras that maybe people didn’t get the chance to hear. Some of these particularly Rachel Stevens “Come and Get It” and this album are examples of underrated pop gems that deserve to be talked about and re-examined to a future audience who are missing out. Great job as always!!!

[@alexcastro9678]

she said it , it was not her strongest album, it was a reflect of how she felt, it was a sad album though she tried to do the best

[@Aretha-bq4tt]

I like that she has an album for every taste. She's an authentic artist

Thanks for making this great video. It is so complete and interesting. I learned a lot from this era that wasn’t documented in France. Loved watching it

[@Juanmaxinkoa]

What an amazing documentary. Please do another one for beautiful intentions.

[@hyperballadbradx6486]

This is sparking so many memories. Probably haven't listened to the album since 2003 or 2004. I think it's time I crack out the CD!

The Reason era was her best live vocals era. Loved it!

[@rvegas81]

This is interesting! They’ve both had some good ups and downs. Her 2000 song was played everywhere on mtv in the USA. It was so good!

[@fanstastic83]

The album has grown on me over the years, but unfortunately I can't forget about the existence of Soul boy.😅 My favorite songs are Home, Melt, Yeh yeh yeh, Let's love and Here it comes again. I feel that some of the b-sides, if not all, should have been on the album instead of some album tracks. I mean, seriously, Love to you, Like that (which sounds like The Strokes song), Living without you.. Brilliant songs. Thank you for the video. By the way, Here it comes again didn't chart at number 2 in Belgium, it's a bubbling under chart 😢

[@user-gv2bf8nk8d]

What’s wrong with soul boy?

Also I wonder what happened to the 40 songs. Were they given away to other artists, are they still on a shelf somewhere?

[@survivorbest4589]

not finished, probably just raw demos or lyrics + chord progressions

mama so good but cant beat enya who is the most successful artist with zero tour

It's overall a good album but I think that her latest ones are just better

One for watching in bed tonight 👍🏻🎧🎵

[@jamesclarke8813]

Great album. Deserved to do better.

[@allknowingoracle3277]

I think she sadly used many of the best Reason era tracks as B sides.

[@luvmoon3674]

Her worst album and u can tell in this era she's not her self at all

[@pauldrewery6313]

It's quite a boring album tbh.

[@popunderrated]

Glad you enjoyed the video

[@cakes3958]

Personally speaking, ‘Here It Comes Again’ is one of the most boring songs I’ve ever heard.

[@andreid.8568]

Try Cheeky Girls. They're less boring
