    Victoria Beckham Realized Music Wasn't Really Her Passion After Watching Elton John Perform

    by

    The singer-turned-fashion designer talks about her departure from the Spice Girls and explains why she declined to reunite with her all-female bandmates.

    Jan 13, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Victoria Beckham was inspired to “step away” from the Spice Girls by Sir Elton John.
    The mother-of-four shot to fame as a member of the girl group and though she stayed with them throughout their chart career, their 2007 reunion, and 2012 appearance at the London Olympics, she declined to join in with their later plans – including a 2016 reunion, which was axed after Geri Horner fell pregnant, and a 2019 concert tour. And writing a letter to her future self in Britain’s Vogue magazine, Victoria admitted it was seeing her “dear friend” perform that made her realise she’d never be passionate about music.
    “Remember years ago, watching your dear friend Elton John on stage in Las Vegas,” she wrote. “He performed Tiny Dancer, as if it were the first time, and you realised this was like oxygen for him. It was a life-changing moment – while singing and dancing was fun for you, it wasn’t your passion.”

    “That day, you started your quest to uncover your own dreams. It was time to step away from being a Spice Girl. For the first time, you were venturing out on your own, and it was terrifying. It was scary to close a chapter that defined you.”
    After launching her own fashion empire and diversifying into beauty, Victoria hinted she also has other projects in the pipeline and will continue to ignore her critics.
    She continued in her letter, “I know you are still reinventing yourself, taking on new challenges, and ignoring the naysayers. You always look beyond the conventional wisdom to pave your own path.”
    “First, you found this passion in fashion, and most recently, beauty. What comes next? I’m dying to know.”

      The Ginger Spice channels her inner royal as she portrays the Queen of England and pays tribute to the British monarch in the first episode of her YouTube Series ‘Rainbow Woman’.

      Nov 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Geri Horner has launched her YouTube series “Rainbow Woman” with a grand tribute to Britain’s Queen Elizabeth I.
      The monarch reigned 44 years, from 1558 until her death and, in the new show, which premiered at 12 pm GMT on Sunday (08Nov20), Geri transforms into the ruler.
      In a message announcing the series, Geri pens, “I want to share something from my heart… something real, something I hope will inspire. Rainbow Woman is my love letter to you. It’s about sharing our spirit.”
      “I’m taking you on a girl power adventure of discovery,” continues the Spice Girls star. “Together, we go up a mountain, down the river and back in time … and with music I wrote, it’ll be a 360 experience, for you, for us, for everybody.”
      “Thank you for being there for me. I want to be here with you … for all the rainbow people,” she says of the series, which is described as “a collection of vibrant vignettes following her on big and little adventures, each hued with humour and their own message of hope and positivity.”

      Written, directed and executive produced by Geri, a new episode will be unveiled every Sunday on Geri’s YouTube channel with bonus content for fans to follow.
      Throwing herself into the role, she said, “It has been said that I have the body of a weak and feeble woman, yet the heart and stomach of a king.”

      “Fear not, you’ve been more loyal to me than any prince. I was just practicing. You’re my favourite. But never forget, we’re a charge of light striking through that despairing rain,” she continued as she knelt on the floor before it was revealed the unseen recipient of the speech was actually her cute pug dog dressed in a Tudor ruff.

      Melanie C Plots Spice Girls Biopic Following Successful Reunion Tour

      by

      Instagram

      Following a successful reunion on stage, the Sporty Spice is thinking of developing a big screen project about the life and legacy of her all-girl group during their heyday.
      Oct 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Melanie C wants to move forward with plans for a Spice Girls biopic due to the success of the girl band’s recent reunion tour.
      The girls released “Spice World: The Movie”, which spoofed their lives as pop superstars at the height of their fame in 1997, and have been developing an animated superhero film based on their Spice Girls personas with Paramount Animation.
      However, Melanie also thinks the time is right for a pop biopic showing their beginnings of the band, following their tour and blockbuster big screen retellings of Queen and Elton John’s careers.

      “I think it’s the perfect time, really,” she tells U.K. chat show host Lorraine Kelly. “When you look back at last year, the nostalgia – so many people came to the shows and they were reliving their childhood. I think the music and the story of the Spice Girls, the beginnings of it, everything that happened in between, I think it’s perfect subject matter for one of those movies.”
      The “Northern Star” hitmaker also gave fans an update on the band’s plans to return to the road to celebrate their 25th anniversary – with or without fifth member Victoria Beckham, who skipped their 2019 trek.
      “We had the most incredible year last year, playing stadiums and we have got to do it again,” she explained. “We talk about it all the time. Of course this year has thrown everything into chaos, I think a lot of the big artists that were planning to perform this year will move to next year, so sadly it probably will delay the Spice Girls getting back on stage, but I’m doing everything in my power to make that happen.”
      Melanie’s new self-titled solo album is out now.

      Spice Girls Plan New Music Video for 'Wannabe' to Celebrate 25th Anniversary

      by

      WENN

      Rumor has it, the British girl group who have reunited for tour last year are thinking of filming a new music video for their first single to mark their 25th anniversary.
      Sep 20, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The Spice Girls are reportedly planning to reshoot the video for their debut single “Wannabe” to mark their 25th anniversary.
      The group were said to be planning to hit the road for a celebratory tour to celebrate the occasion, but the coronavirus pandemic put a stop to that idea. So instead, a source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper that Mel B, Emma Bunton, Geri Horner, and Mel C are thinking about filming a new video for Wannabe, which topped the charts upon its release back in 1996.
      “The Spice Girls were hoping to hit the road in 2021 to mark their big anniversary but now it’s not possible because of the pandemic,” the insider said. “They’re all in touch weekly and are trying to come up with new ideas on how they can do something special to mark the big day. Mel C suggested doing something around Wannabe – including the idea of possibly re-working the video for social media.”

      “There are so many options and nothing is off-limits. They want to give the fans something special.”
      However, Victoria Beckham – who opted out of the girl’s U.K. and Ireland tour last year (19) – is said to be “exceedingly unlikely” to be involved.
      Taken from the group’s first studio album “Spice”, “Wannabe” became the best-selling single by a girl group in the world. While details of the new music video are still scarce, the original one actually almost didn’t see the light of day due to Mel B’s erect nipples. Despite the controversy, it went on to winning Best Dance Video at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards and being considered one of the iconic pop music videos.
