Sporty & Pudgy

Filed under: Personally Perez > Anglophilia > Melanie C.

aimg_0610.jpg

Thursday night, we had the pleasure of going to Melanie C.'s acoustic show at The Mint in Los Angeles. And, the Spice Girl known as Sporty was kind enough to invite Perezzz to her sound check.

We met Melanie (for the first time) and she was a delight!

She was the last Spice Girl to want to jump on board the reunion bandwagon, but she told us that she is having a blast.

And we love the fact that she performed to almost 20,000 at the Staples Center on Wednesday and the following evening she performed to less than 200.

She's doing it for all the right reasons. Melanie C. loves music and is in this game for the long haul.

We can't express how much we love her solo stuff. It is smart, sophisticated, beautiful, touching, brilliant pop. You all should check it out.

Click here to check out some of her solo songs.

Mel told us that she hopes to do more solo gigs in America, a country she rarely tours in. It's quite convenient for her - her band from the U.K. is part of the Spice Girls band.

If you weren't able to go to the show at The Mint, then CLICK HERE to watch Melanie C's exquisite acoustic rendition of her internationally adored smash hit I Turn To You.

Girl power!!!

    seriously, the Spice Girls?!! i was open to the idea of a reunion tour, but it is kind of pathetic when there are four or five middle aged women trying to act as if they are as young as they were ten years ago. i tivo'ed the victoria secret show to see them and it was just awkward and sad for me.

    Mel C is lame-ass! Her songs are mediocre at best. Makes Geri look like Barbara Streisand…

    Mel C is the bomb. I saw her in Sydney at 'the Metro'. I think it was just before 'Northern Star' came out. She is so amazing. 'Northern Star' is one of my fave recordings. Pity her later efforts were not properly promoted by her record company.

  37. *john says – reply to this
    37

    I've been a HUGE fan of Melanie's since I was young. I remember having to ORDER her Northern Star CD because the local record store didn't even have it coming in when I called! This Time is definitely her best!

    I HOPE TO GOD she tours somewhere on the east coast. I'll be in heaven. I'm right there with you perez! ! ! ! !

    You have turned into a kiss ass sellout. Just because you meet someone you shouldn't lose your objectiveness. The people who visit this site, yes they have made you famous, will discover you are a fuckin phony. The Old Spice Girls are the most over-rated mother fuckers around, besides you of course.

    Melanie C needs a new manager and a new record company that will actually care to promote her. Her music is awsome and it needs to be heard globally.
    I would make her big in Japan, Australia, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, USA and Canada.
    Her manager doesn't have a clue about promoting her!

    Aww, isn't that cute… The morbidly obese Mario still thinks of himself as merely "pudgy". Kelly Osbourne is pudgy. Jack Black is pudgy. You are GROTESQUELY OBESE. CALORIE CONTROL!!!! NOW!!!!

  52. BamBam says – reply to this

    Pudgy??? Try disgustingly obese. You certainly have a distored self-image of yourself.

    I can't stand the fact that Perez can't afford to buy his own clothes and needs to get what he wears donated. Poor Perez….sombody give him some money so that he doesn't need to pimp himself out. (BTW, the pants are truly fugly.
