"We hate each other!" Mel B on Spice Girls & All Saints Rivalry.

[@tob4b1]

The duo i never knew i needed…. We need an SPICE SAINTS/ALL SPICE reunion….

[@ScootDoot1977]

💯

[@soundseeker63]

ALL SPICE! 😆 OMG YES! haha

[@JuliaSeri]

No, we don't! Sorry not sorry! Love Spice Girls!! 💜💖

[@MindETMuch]

All Spice sounds really great ! I bet it smells good too 😆

[@CaapriceTube1]

All Spice....Let's GO!!!!

[@erikm8372]

People tried pitting them against each other back in the day, but musically, they’re quite different and even stylistically, personally, and their whole vibe. They can’t be compared. I was equally a fan of both groups in middle school!! Of course, it was initially Spice Girls for me, as they more or less came out first, and I’d heard of them earlier… but by early 1998 I had found All Saints' debut album after hearing "I Know Where It's At" on the radio… and what a gem of an album, from start to finish!

[@eclectica1]

People = the media.

[@tupepangan8462]

Concert for both girl groups please 1. I know where its at 2. Black coffee 3. Bootie call 4. Lady marmalade 5. Who do you think you are 6. Holler 7. Say youll be there 8. Never give up on the good times 9. 2 become 1 10. Never ever 11. Pure shores 12. Wanna be 13. We are family( ALL SAINTS AND SPICE GIRLS)

[@erikm8372]

All Saints and Spice Girls in a duet would’ve been sickening back in the day. Like in 1999… imagine how that would’ve blown up.

[@greyLeicester]

Except that technically a duet is only formed by 2 people, not 9 😂😂😂

[@sounds0fmeows]

that probably would’ve been the most iconic thing in the 90s.. it should have happened

[@erikm8372]

What is a nine-piece ensemble called? Hahaha. I mean, if Geri weren’t back yet, it would’ve been an octet? 😂

[@erikm8372]

I hear All Saints’ music and think it would’ve been PERFECT for the Spice Girls, either for their third album (if it wasn’t ever All Saints), or together w All Saints.

[@sweetlikez]

This is such a pleasure to see these two together. Great interview! I am so proud of Mel B and I am so glad that she is supporting and sharing her story to protect other people who have been violated and abused. Love her interviews. 😊❤

[@Laura-kg9le]

There's just something about Nicole I love. Her voice and energy is so bright and cool. She seems so lovely!

[@Jaytecx]

Two legends of UK 90s Pop.

[@huntedbychance]

I think Nicole should be the host of a TOP OF THE POPS revival.

[@andrearuiz4805]

OMG MEL B AND NICOLE WERE MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE OF EACH BAND!!!!! And I loved both bands as much!!!

[@Garcelle1987]

Mel is such a brilliant interviewee And the two ladies have such great chemistry Also, LOVE the met bar mention!! Lol

[@Swordtee40]

I love her laugh and her Leeds accent so much! Also her new hairstyle brings me back to her old hairstyle she had back in the 90s

[@parallel23s]

I'd love to see a tour of both groups together, like the one with BSB and NKOTB.😊

[@raspyswirly]

And All Saints are still making great stuff even up to 2020! They should get more flowers for their music

[@c.t.4837]

That was hard back then being a Spice boy (still am) and liking some All Saints songs but I had to choose teams.. they used to say that the girls couldn’t sing and other things. The media moved on from their “feud” right into Britney and Christina 😂

[@leciorabello]

let’s be honest… the Spice Girls are global legends, but their voices were not their main asset…

[@mikekaraoke]

Same with Tiffany/Debbie Gibson, and they are best friends!

[@fanstastic83]

All Saints have said some nasty things about Spice Girls in the past, while Spice Girls have never said anything bad about anybody (until Westlife lol 😅😂). But I love both bands and Appleton's album is brilliant.

And Westlife deserved it 😂

Nicole is so lucky to be able to work with her pup on her lap like that. Would make me feel so comforted.

[@lars7282]

She was always my favourite Spice Girl - where Geri pretty much lost her leader personality, Mel always stayed totally true to the Spice Girls Mania

[@jeniestra.]

Give us that Spice Girls and All Saints collab already ❤.

[@gemma1874]

Amazing interview

[@sounds0fmeows]

As a kid sporty was my favourite but now she is my hero.. Jerry became my favourite after she left . And then I’m realizing how cool Mel B is Loved Victoria’s dry sense of humour Emma and her sweet personality & voice

[@ardikapradnya7040]

Was a Spice Girls fan as a kid and bought All Saints' cassette out of curiosity due to the alleged "feud", i couldn't hate it. All Saints debut album was FIREEEEE. So so gooood. Love both of them so much!

[@Nickelback83]

I remember when i was in high school reading all the Smash hits, Top of Pops and reading about how ALL SAINTS hated the spice girls. I hated All Saint's for that. But finding out after 25 years that they actually didn't hate them WOW. 😮

[@eclectica1]

Haha. Another one who believes everything they read in the media.

[@markdwighttadina7655]

Spice Girls and All Saints formed the first phase of the Girl Group era, and were joined by American Destiny's Child (which composed of Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams). Second Phase composed of Sugababes and Pussycat Dolls though the latters structure is like of a traditional band with Nicole Scherzinger acting as its main singer. The third phase composed of Little Mix, Fifth Harmony, and Blackpink*. *-Though there are K-Pop girl groups that preceded them, Blackpink was the first Kpop girl group to be in the same level as them.

[@williamsouzadacosta118]

⭐🇧🇷⭐ I had never stopped to listen to Nicole Appleton's voice. ⭐🇧🇷⭐

[@honeynation]

Never got into All Saints apart from "Never Ever". Spice Girls were the ones that got my attention and heart more in terms of looks, styles, personality, videos, and music. Some of their ballads actually got me in tears as a kid. I will forever be a Spice Girls fan through and through.

[@rhysdaniels1003]

You can’t not love Mel B ❤ I’m definitely getting the 2nd book x

[@rhysdaniels1003]

And all the me too came out around the same time too ❤

[@donaldwilson2620]

When critics call certain artists rivals, a lot of times, those so-called rivals like The Spice Girls/All Saints, Whitney Houston/Mariah Carey, and Tiffany/Debbie Gibson end up being the best of friends.

[@edmurph5344]

Except for britney/christina

All Saints & Spice Girls. C'mon girls ❤️ a collab to revive the good 90s

[@JenniferDawn-c1o]

[@allknowingoracle3277]

Did Nicole ever sing in the All Saints songs other than the talking part at the beginning of Never Ever?

Mel B is so funny when Nicole says "icon"

[@Vee_Davis-wb9wd]

MEL WAS MY FAV!!! HER, POSH, AND BABY THEY WERE MY TOP SPICES LOL I LOVE HER ACCENT SHE STILL HAS IT...ITS REALLY STRONG!!! I LOVE MEL

[@xenondoro8573]

Gotta love how everyone's rewriting the past these days and claiming to always have been feminists. All Saints did say some nasty things about Spice Girls, just like Christina said about Britney, Paris about Lindsay, Madonna about several women etc. Tbh all of it is completely understandable considering how young people behave in general. I'd appreciate it more if people owned up to their youthful mistakes instead of denying them.

[@MrEdOliiver]

I think you meant a lot of women said nasty things about Madonna.

[@jeniestra.]

Yeah, yeah. And most recently Britney said nasty things about Xtina. Both groups liked to play with the press and say those things while they were privately clubbing.

[@charliedemosmusic]

LOVE BOTH GROUPS!! Always have. Both are fabulous ❤❤🔥🔥

[@davidwilliams8352]

All saints as support act for spice girls would be legendary

[@mattstorage7805]

When was the last time all saints did a sold out tour or performed at Wembley? Lol. Also their second album was trash.

[@Littlegreen42]

@upgroundmusic Don't be ignorant, the girls wrote those songs and the lyrics are quite deep if you'd listen properly

[@peterspering3709]

top 5 favorites bands of all time. Spice girls and All saints.

Love all saints more than spice girls... While spice girls have a better appeal and charisma.. All saints have better vocals and songs overall

[@hevertonfonseca9366]

Well... i do remember All Saints saying that they hated the Spice girls on MTV! hahahahh, oh the good old days.

[@Irishgui83]

Well I'm old enough to remember that All Saints did actually say some nasty and hurtful things about the Spice Girls. The Spice Girls never retaliated. I think it was more between Shaznay and Mel B though.

[@fiercegifs]

Right I remember this too! But nice to see they can all have a full circle moment. Shaznay was pictured with Mel C at an Apple Music event this week too

[@Irishgui83]

@@fiercegifs yes it's definitely nice that they've all matured. I remember seeing pics of Mel C and Nicole (and possibly Mel Blatt) partying together in 1997 or 8 in Smash Hits and feeling so betrayed that she would talk to them after they had always appeared to be dismissive of the Spice Girls' success 🤣 And then Mel B and Shaznay both appeared on a music show hosted by Jo Wiley on Channel 4 and you could kind of tell thats was where the tension stemmed from.

[@Marc-zi5cq]

yeah its true but you also gotta remember they were all in their early 20s then and All Saints got asked about the Spice Girls in like every single interview for their first album promo but i get that after saying ''They are really good at what they do but we are a different group'' for 300 times in every country of the world, some day theyd be tired and say what they said. Mel C and Natalie became friends even in the 90s though and Emma and Nicole were always friendly too. I do think Mel B admitted she had a fight with Shaznay once at a bathroom at an event or something haha

[@ColinnOk]

@@Marc-zi5cq All Saints said in their first interview with Music Week "we're better and prettier than them". They were haters from the get go. London Records had tried to sign the Spice Girls 2 years earlier and they went with Virgin. There was a clear decision to set them up as the anti-Spice Girls and create rivalry. Most of the comments came from Shaznay & Mel though. Nicole talks about in her book she wanted to chat with the Spice Girls at the Brits in 98 and Shaznay & Mel were not impressed. Karma works in mysterious ways!

[@peterfernandez9670]

The Spice Girls should tour with NKOTB. This oughta be a dream tour

[@MayaMaia311]

I knew it was a click bait. I clicked anyway.

[@chrismitsos6817]

Loved them both but All Saints had an edge the Spice Girls didn't have. Spice Girls were fun but way too commercial. They never did anything as cool as Bootie call.

[@donedeal69]

I beg to differ... Naked by the spice girls on tour sitting undressed on high back chairs was the coolest thing ever also hear take me home which was a b side to say you'll be there..the spices were the epitome of cool and energetic ..all saints tried very hard to be diffrrtent and it was their music which I appreciate...they did some good songs ..which I remember more than bootie call

[@chrismitsos6817]

@@donedeal69 I don't agree they were never considered cool. Fun and energetic yes. Cool? No. Pure shores ..black coffee now those are cool songs Spice girls never had anything as good as those songs. But I like them.
