. Despite the sometimes unflattering comparisons with other pop groups, . covering a wide range of, . from "British Menudo" and ending with "Maiden the reincarnation of New Kids on the Block", . can not accept, . that the Spice Girls managed to make the dizzying jump up and gain international fame,
. And it always brings and the admiration and envy from those around. Say what you like, but five of these desperate young girls have with their frank sexuality, adolescent mischief and constant shouts of "Girl Power!" to storm the heights of global fame.

Geri Halliwell, "Ginger Spice" (ginger), was born Aug. 6, 1972 in the town Uetford near London. This is the most lively and talkative of the girls, which is usually the first shouting "Girl Power!". Prior to his career, Jerry worked in the group pornomodelyu (photos of her naked body in a variety found in the Internet), a waitress in a bar, aerobics instructor and a leading Turkish TV.

A lover of sports gear Adidas Mel C, Melanie Chisholm, or, or "Sporty Spice" (Sports). Mel C was born January 12, 1974 in Liverpool. Football fan, herself a lover to do sports, "Sporty" is on the right arm tattooed two Japanese characters that stand for a woman and force (girl power). Former ballet dancer and singer, she is considered by many (including the former manager of Girls) as the most talented in the group.

Blonde Emma Bunton, "Baby Spice" (Baby) - the youngest member of the group. She was born Jan. 21, 1976. Expressed blonde, she often wears her hair tied in a ponytail or in a bun. Emma, a girl started working model and its children's advertising photos can also be found on the Internet.

Adams, "Posh Spice" (Chic) was born in 1975, April 7. You can not find this native of the British capital, smiling at any of the photos of the band - perhaps she did not like the look of her teeth? Victoria is the guru of the group in respect of style and fashion (hence its nickname). She comes from a fairly wealthy family. When the future "Posh" was a girl, she had to persuade her father not to take her to school in a Rolls-Royce, so as not to cause ridicule classmates.

Finally, Mel B or Melanie Brown, or "Scary Spice" (scary), was born May 29, 1975 in the city of Leeds in northern England. She loves hip-hop and its often can be seen unabashedly demonstrates his sharp little tongue. Mel B had played drums in a music college, danced, made purchases over the phone and once starred in an episode of popular British soap opera "" Coronation Street ". .

. How participants met a girl quintet? Four of them (except for Emma) simply responded to an advertisement in the newspaper "The Stage", . invite girls aged 18 - 23 years, . able to sing, . dance, . have the desire and sufficient diligence, . to make a career, . try their hand in the women's group,
. Girls not only fit in with the requirements specified in the declaration, but were desperate adventurer, who already knew each other for a variety of such projects, which many in London. Under the leadership of managers: a father and son, . Bob and Chris Herbert - future member Spice Girls and another girl, . by the name Michelle, . amounted to a group of Touch (as in the infamous phrase: "You can watch, . but do not touch. ") Michel soon left the group due to illness of one of the members of her family and her desire to go to college,
. (It is said that if listening closely, her quiet reproaches to your own address can still be heard even across the Atlantic.)

Hence, in the history of Spice Girls begin differences. Victoria insists that she has led her off in the group, even though Bob Herbert argues that Emma had been recommended by a teacher of singing, and Victoria are up to that time had never met. Girls say they were given a ready repertoire and was forced to wear the same costumes, Herbert assured that he never demanded that the girls dress the same way as their dissimilarity was a key part of its marketing strategy. Only one point between them, there is no contradiction: the numerous sessions organized by Herbert eventually led to the signing of contracts with well-known masters of studio work by Richard Stannardom, Matt Rowe and Eliot Kennedy. Quintet gradually gained good experience in writing songs and at the same time the girls began to show its character. First they refused to name Touch and became known as Spice Girls. Then, . when Bob Herbert wanted to get rid of one of them, . considering it is not too talented, . and the victim found out about this, . girls together, . and the first manifestation of "girl power" was the dismissal of the Herbert and his son, . and Spice Girls have become the masters of their destiny,
.

Over the next year they spent in the words of one of them, composing music, writing, dancing and eating toast, and finally, in March 1995 found a new management team headed by Simon Fuller, manager of Annie Lennox. With Fuller in August, they entered into a contract with record company Virgin. In collaboration with Stannardom and Rowe Girls make their debut album "Spice", consisting of pop melody and rhythm and blues with a pinch of hip-hop.

In its homeland first single Spice Girls "Wannabe" in 1996, stayed in first place in the charts for seven weeks. In early 1997, as "Wannabe", and the album has already led the charts in America, although for unconditional acceptance of Spice Girls The United States still lag behind the rest of the world. In the U.S., they enjoyed success in Europe, their popularity was just incredible. All the first four vypushennyh in the UK singles charts in turn led.

Nicknames "Posh Spice", "Ginger Spice", "Sporty Spice", "Scary Spice" and "Baby Spice" known in every home. It looks rather strange, but neither the girls themselves, nor any of their associates had no relation to the emergence of these names, then they have become a trademark. English magazine for teenagers "Top of the Pops" invented this nickname by the Editorial Board and then published them, accompanied by amusing illustrations. Nicknames like, and seems to never go out of use

. Leap "Spice Girls" fame was so swift and so ideally they approached the media, . that within a few months every girl appeared in the British press, . becoming permanent heroine news and rumors, . which was the same truth, . much fiction,
. Saucy girl every now and then appearing in all sorts of stories, and then one or the other committed anything earth-shattering.

The second album of the five 'Spice World' has not caused such a furore in the world (even before his first place in England, he arrived). And after the success of girls in the group began to think about their own affairs. Jerry announced the release of the group, and November 3, 1998 signed a contract for 3 albums with EMI. Victoria married soccer player of the English 'Manchester United' and England David Beckham. Group did not collapse, but after the departure of Geri and fairly successful launch her solo career, everything started to try not to sing in the group, and a duet with men. Mel with Bryan Adams sang 'When You're Gone'. In Mel sang the soundtrack 'Why Do Fools Fall In Love' with Missy Elliot, and Emma - with Rod Stewart ... Maybe, . one of the reasons for this separation became apparent hostility of many in relation to the group: in October 1998, the Swedish journalists threatened to boycott the conference group, . November Spice Girls were booed at the concert in Barcelona, . then they are ridiculed for the film 'Spice World', . In February 1999, their plans to speak among ancient Indian ruins, too, slammed ..,
. They were attacked in the press and on TV for the lyrics and melodies of songs, for concerts, with the costumes for the innocent remarks in an interview with the same fervor with which touted a year ago for the same. It seemed a little more and the Spice Girls did not oc-Thanet, except memories.

. But, despite the fact that all participants Spice Girls make a successful solo career, they are not going to leave, on the contrary, they are more pleasant to work together
. First, they rest from each other, and secondly, have accumulated a lot of ideas that can collectively implement. Here's what to say about the most, perhaps, to date, successful 'spice' Mel C: 'After a not-how many solo projects, we are together again and the sensation of, emitted or absorbed by a stronger than before. And this force will affect our new album, which, in my opinion, would be the best of all '.

The third Spice Girls CD entitled "Forever 'appeared in the November 7, 2000. He recorded 14 months in London, Los Angeles and Miami. The producers - Rodney Jerkins, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Many have already heard this album, and I think, agree that there is still powder in the flasks, ie pepper y 'Pepper' girls.
