Katie M when I was a kid we all thought she did. A kid doesn’t see style icons. They see scary spice... she was suppose to be scary her name was scary spice...

[@kichan]

@@Chuchutrain806 She wasn't 'supposed' to be literally scary. They received their names after they established their unique images and style. There was an article written about them after they released Wannabe and in the article the writer didn't bother asking their names, instead they harshly labeled them like: "One of them looks like a baby, another one is very posh, then one is scary..." and they snarkily adopted the nicknames.

[@heyitsme5904]

@Blue i love little mix..they are definitely better singers..but the charisma of spice girls back then were just sooooo phenomenal...i know its a bit overacting but somehow they put world together as one.hehehe...miss those days...but now, i am certified mixer ❤

[@kubykub]

Little Mix has 💕

[@JenniferLisa923]

except Posh lol... She has no energy. She's like yeahh, i showed up. that's enough.

[@francescofissore161]

@Blue ... utterly different things... no other female band ever will do what they did. Spice Girls were something new, incredibly revolutionary back then... difficult to explain by mere words, the phenomenon itself was unprecedented (even their detractors had to admit only 'Beatlesmania' was comparing to 'Spicemania'). Who does care if they weren't the best singers... maybe the girls themselves not even wanted to be, necessarily - but it was the whole 'package', the whole thing that brought together so many impressive aspects about this band. The perfect mix of each one is what made them so much iconic and legendary... If not counting the first two years before becoming famous (May 1994 to about April-May 1996), the incredible, often crazy amount of work - not only the strictly music-related things - of many different kinds they accomplished from that point onwards but compressed in just 31- 32 months, would have taken four-five years for any other group. All what the girls earned in those days, they more than fully deserved it.

[@claudiabenigno2796]

@Blue Little Mix's strength were their pristine vocals. Spice Girls didn't have that, but their charisma, stage presence were their selling point. They didn't even need back up dancers for this concert, and they were singing 100% live while dancing.

[@MarinaAndTheDevil]

How were they all able to wear different outfits and still look so damn cohesive 😭
