She always had the best voice.

[@euroshark1]

Gotta say she has matured nicely.

[@tobyfunk6858]

Daaaaaaamn she's aging like a fine wine! So pretty!

[@matthiasschmatz8101]

She talks like she sings and like she looks: very natural and friendly. She is a superstar without beeing superstarish! I love that little piece of an accent she has.

[@lorendawes1591]

Imagine being as cool as Mel C. I just can’t.

[@xenondoro8573]

Honestly the best Spice Girl, the most level-headed and musical one.

[@songcake44]

Wtf Those toned arms are crazy hot! Sporty spice indeed.. and she's so humble and articulate ❤

[@xxxTIN0xxx]

Mel C 😍💙 Talented, beautiful, iconic

[@Vjstrype27]

Im glad she is getting more media attention and recognition in the US lately, she is so talented

[@MedJayParis]

My favorite Spice Girl & one of the greatest pop stars of her generation. I love how she's being humble & simple despite being literally an icon.

[@arielanderic]

She's amazing. Unfortunately she's not big in the United States & I wish she was. She's much so better than overrated Beyonce.

[@musicislife.2602]

@@arielanderic she's touring US in 2020. 😁

[@arielanderic]

Music Lover Where did you hear this?

[@musicislife.2602]

@@arielanderic I've just read in an interview. She said High Heels is the only single this year and early 2020 would be the next one. Then she'll tour to NY & LA coz she misses her fans in US.

[@arielanderic]

Music Lover Oh I don’t live in either of those states 😞

[@vultan2000]

Lovely and attractive. And her voice is gorgeously soft and feminine. 💓

[@coreycanada7104]

Love Mel C & Northern Star was a great album.

[@slimc3769]

Love me some Mel C. Her voice is awesome. She's beautiful beyond belief. I love everything about her. Carried the Spice Girls to be honest.

[@HellaGeo]

I love me some Melanie C! I hope she tours the US soon!!

[@musicislife.2602]

She's coming to US 2020 solo tour 😊

[@astridlefevre2643]

Her voice 😍 From 🌬🌪🇧🇪

[@Hoganply]

Mel C: The hottest AND the nicest Spice Girl.

[@ThePethboc]

And the most talented musically as well

[@jalin8]

Nicer than Emma?

[@jaissapierce4057]

jalin8 it’s honestly probably tie between the two. I’ve heard from most people that met mel c that she is very friendly and super down to earth.

[@musicislife.2602]

@@jalin8 don't be deceived by Emma's innocent looks. She seems fake to me.

[@larrejackson8722]

I definitely agree that she is totally hot but educated.

[@timrivett4802]

The album 'Northren Star' is a solid album!! I wish the album was a bigger here in the states. The whole album from start to finish is gold.

[@yesaliya]

Tim Rivett totally agree!!

[@dahum20]

Tim Rivett Couldn’t agree more!

[@ivanventajasmartin7900]

She and the rest of the band will always be a huge part of my live. I really love them

[@mcairolyakup]

'Victoria's a lil' bit more expensive!' 😂 That's Mel C's sense of humor in the Spice Girls & the humor is on the same level with Geri & Mel B. I love this girl so much

[@michielwouda]

This woman is gold 😍

[@clemensJB]

And when she sings, her voice goes right into my head and fondles my brain.

[@DiegoMunozAviles]

I am a huge fan of the Spice Girls but I became a bigger fan of Mel C's. I have seen her twice live as a solo performer - being the last time a few weeks ago in Dunlin- and she is so talented, plus she looks gooooood!

[@yvessauter4979]

She is gorgeous

[@beetlejuice6348]

Ripe like a fine wine

[@lau0285]

I'll love her forever ❤😍

She’s actually amazing

[@jankyme]

once a spice girl.....always a spice girl

[@Evansm1986]

Thank you Rolling Stone!!! The spice girls are still one of my all time fav groups and I have followed all of their solo careers and it’s hard to find many music outlets who show the girls love, especially each of them as solo stars. Mel C is an amazing singer/songwriter! BTW I am loving the new single “High Heels”. I saw Mel C live in 2008 in a venue in NYC in 2008 when I went to see all the girls in the reunion tour, it was amazing and all the other girls were there except Victoria. Such a great experience, she is amazing live!

[@LoliCeOk]

Love her !! ❤

[@aldrination]

Sporty Spice - distinct voice

[@Sebastian-fx6yf]

So humble!!! Love you Mel!! I will always remember when I saw you🐷💚💚

I always liked sporty spice the most. A badass who takes shit from no one and kinda.. Protects the other girls if that makes sense?

[@musicislife.2602]

I think u're right. Her bandmates say nothing but good words about Mel C. She seems like a great friend to them. She's their "wonderwall" as described by Geri.

[@boignyflynn2653]

Sun's out, Guns out!

[@steelpanther9568]

The spice girls appeared at a free gig when they first started of at the Big Top, Heineken Festival in Preston, Lancashire, they was on stage just before Oasis, where Leom made a joke stating "The Spice Girls, who are they" L😆L, The Inspiral Carpets was also on as well, 👍🏻

[@steelpanther9568]

emu cat yes someone threw a can of lager at them, but the girl band on before them was the Spice Girls, 👍🏻

[@steelpanther9568]

It was a green and cream big Top circus type tent in the middle of Avenam park in Preston, 👍🏻

[@steelpanther9568]

It was on for three days, once a year usually over the weekend, for three or four years then they stopped it, I think it was organised by Preston council but supported by Heineken and rock fm,

[@steelpanther9568]

emu cat didn't go every year but I know where they got there name from, Pogue Mahone is the seventh and final studio album by The Pogues, released in 1996. The title is a variant of the Irish phrase póg mo thóin, meaning "kiss my arse", from which the band's name is derived. en.m.wikipedia.org › wiki Pogue Mahone - Wikipedia, L🍀L

[@larrejackson8722]

They had fans all over the world, the spice girls. Man and woman. All different sexes loved listening to those ladies singing.

[@taliahernandez940]

She looks better w/ age!!

Mel C may be an English rose but she will also forever be an American treasure 🇬🇧💜🇺🇸
