For the past five years,
Melanie C has been Sporty Spice. She was one of five
girls who, together, would go on to become some of
the most famous women on earth. During their reign,
Spice Girls have sold over 40 million records and
have had their lives microscopically detailed by the
tabloids in a fashion that suggests they must be

they've been fanatically received: Nelson Mandela
still remembers the kiss, Prince Charles the pinch.

more glamorous, Melanie C was the more mysterious.
She was the quietest of the quintet, then the

teeth in gold, and had tattoos applied to her upper
arms, her lower back. She got very fit. General
consensus suggested that she was the best singer of
the bunch, and the most down to earth. She was
likeable, but never quite shone to her full
potential.
Until, that is, now. When the Spice Girls finally

album that had lived in her mind and her dreams
