Hi! It's 6.25 and we'll be chatting to Melanie in just a moment...
Luciana Beatriz: Do you still remeber your first autograph? Remember the
person who asked for it? How did you feel at that moment?
Melanie: I remember my first few autographs. My first one was at a roadshow. People
were just being polite because they didnt know who we were, I think they just wanted
911s!!! It felt really strange, the strangest moment was when i was having dinner with
my friends from home and someone came over and asked for my autograph, I just felt
really silly and my friends had a good giggle.
Jess: Of all the writers and producers you've worked with(both for your solo
and Spice Girls projects), who did you enjoy working with the most and why?
Melanie: It's really difficult to say because I have quite different relationships with all of
them. Matt and Biff are really good friends and we've worked with them since day one
and we're really close to them. Marius de Vries and Rick Rubin were some of the
sweetest guys I have ever worked with but everybody's been cool.
laura jayne: i saw you in your glasgow concert and you were pure class! do
you actually see the people in the audience or just a crowd of faces and lights?
Melanie: First of all Thank you very much. I do see alot of people in the crowd. In
different parts of the show I see different people as it's lit differently but in Never Be The
Same Again I see everybody.
Dane: I love your hair! where do you get ideas for such nifty styles, and are
madame tussards mad at u for changing?
Melanie: Yes. Mdm Tussards are very angry as not only have I got new hair styles I've
also got new tatoos!! I just like to experiment with different styles and colours but my
friend Jennie always advises me on what suits me best.
Cassandra Ball: What is the best cure for a hang over?
Melanie: Beans on toast and a mug of tea, or another beer!!
sharon: if you werent in the spice girls who would be your fave spice and
why?
Melanie: It be probably be between Mel B and Emma cos they've got attitude. But I love
them all.
maga: a big hello here from peru! I wanna know what do u think about
englands football performance in the last games? and good luck with liverpool, because
manu will win again :P
Melanie: I think England's performance has been quite poor over the last few years which
is very frustrating because we have such good players and Kevin Keegan will always be a
god in my eyes. Man U, Whatever!
spicey fan: Which spice girls song do you enjoy performing the most?
Melanie: I'm quite into the new ones, but Wannabe is always fun.
Cassandra Beveridge: If you were doing a show for charity what charity
would you do it for?
Melanie: There are quite a few charities that I actively support and my next single, If
That Were Me, is going to be for homeless charities. I also support Marie Curie Cancer
Care, Linda McCartney Centre, The Haven Trust, The Alder Hey Childrens Hospital,
Patron of Disability Sport - I couldn't choose, I would give the same amount to each
one.
ss666: i love your t-shirts, where do you get them? are you starting a
collection of those too?
Melanie: The T-shirts I wore on my UK Tour were all made especially for the tour. I
chucked them out at the end of every gig.

Melanie: Probably my flat. It's my first real home since I left home.
Collette Gibbs: When you were younger and you had posters of your favourite
singers on your bedroom wall, did you ever think that one day kids would have posters of
you on their wall?
Melanie: I always hoped.
kirsty: where oh where did you get those fab jeans from that you had on when
the spice girs sang on the national lootery. Mel B also has a pair which she had on smtv
live, they have frayed back pockets, are quite baggy and turnup. I must have a pair or life
just wont be worth living.
Melanie: They're very expensive Alexander McQueen jeans which I don't own and I had
to give them back!
DAVID PASTOR: what dou you like the most about your three
"sisters"??
Melanie: They are very supportive and a good shoulder to cry on and they're always loads
of fun.
Lisa T: I was just wondering what your favorite rock band is and what type of
music are you listening to these days? Cuz the music on your CD is quite different then
the Spice Girls stuff that you do.
Melanie: My favourite rock band is the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
Debs: I'm starting a campaign to get girls football in schools, what do you
think about this idea?
Melanie: I think that's a great idea. At my school we had a football team. Go for
it.

food.
Kayleigh: Hiya Mel, What song are you to be releasing next and why have
you chosen that song??!! Laterz

homeless people and all the royalties will go to various homeless charities around the

your time off.

now I'm dead nosey!
