Who cares! Just another wanna be reality TV star.
not a big fan of hers..
& i hate pina.
Omg.She is gorgeous and hot. My friend told me that she saw her profile with hot photos on 'million aire friends com'. Is that true? Maybe… OMG, is she looking for new relationships?
U lucky ppl…this album is beautiful!!!! Such a talented, down to earth performer.
yay!
Who cares?? Bitch needs some cash
Excellent! I've fallen in love with Melanie's solo stuff, thanks largely to Perez's suggestions! I wish I could make it to Canada to see her live.

It's not across Canada if she doesn't come to at least one atlantic province. I'll never see the spice girls
Great site Perez!!! The best!!! Thanks, GB
What about the Maritimes???? We are always forgotten..
haha plaza! good old plaza
Re: Slutterina – - she's just earned millions from the Spice Girls reunion tour…she doesn't neeeeed money
Best voice out the Spice Girls!!
HEY PEREZ, POST ON HOW MARIAH'S STILL GOT THE #1 SONG IN AMERICA. YOU SAID YOU WOULD, ASSHOLE.
Why do they say across Canada when they don't go to each province. There are several people who live EAST of Quebec!!!!!
Sweet! I already bought two tickets!
To those who are saying she's a lesbian, she's actually not. She's been with her boyfriend for six years now.
You know you're big when you play the Bronson Centre… not.
no one good ever comes east of Montreal
It's because she's amazing. I'm going to two shows!
I'm so sad! I don't turn 19 until a month after she comes! Damnit!
ha, she's going to the garrick.. she's obviously not that huge of a deal

Blah Blah great. the ugly one.
goodluck with mel c the uk are not fans
I am going to it! I bought her solo album when it was released and fell in love!
Cant wait!!!!!
People, please. Quebec can be abbreviated as both PQ (province of Quebec) and as QC (Quebec). Having lived there, I know that both are used, but PQ is more common in Quebec itself. Stop the bickering and stick to the topic at hand.
Re: Rho –
I live in Nova Scotia which is east of Quebec.
QC is the English abbrev. for "Quebec"
PQ is the French abbrev. for "Province du Québec"
That's why you sometimes see it abbreviated both ways.
Got my tickets for Montréal and Ottawa, I can't wait. And boo at the comment about smaller venue, I like it that way, more intimate.
Nice to see Melanie in Canada, hope the tour and album are a big success. Oh and Jennifer is a lesbian
Maddy is right by the way…it is PQ. But neither are wrong, really. Both are acceptable.
:-)
I'm so jealous. I love her song 'Carolyna'! It's so catchy. She looks really rocky in the video too. I'll have to get the album.
and once again, us on the east coast are left out
the 4 maritime provinces should just form our own country, cause we seem to get left out of "cross canada' tours all the time.
EAST COAST NEGLECT
WOW! There's a Bronson Centre in Ottawa? I wasn't aware of that. Perhaps you mean Scotiabank Place??
Bronson Centre???? What the hell???
you lucky canadians!
i wish i could see her live…
btw: she looks much hotter now that in the early spice days!!!
That is NOT an across Canada tour!!! Most people seems to forget the Canada foes beyond Montreal!!!
Bronson centre is on Bronson, in Ottawa. WAYYYYYY smaller than Scotiabank place.
Re: Maddy –
Actaully Maddy PQ is French for Province de Québec and in English we say QC
Did you see this interview she did?
http://thehook.ca
First off, Dyke & Lesbian? Just how shallow are you?! But hey, "everybody's got to dream a little dream." And money? Definitely not for the money. How about for the love of performing live. If you don't like the style of music that's one thing. But name-calling and misjudgement are a whole nutha situation. Correction; You know you're big when your name is Melanie C. With the loot to prove it. Who gives a damn about what others say! She still kicks ass.
Too bad she isn't coming anywhere east of Quebec, There are 4 other provinces, and a couple of Territories.
By the way the official abreviation is Qc in french AND english. PQ was used..in the 70s
boycott deciever.com
Mel is great! She writes her own music, which most people now-a-days don't/aren't allowed. I suggest you listen to her music before you degrade her for no reason. Try some of her older stuff off of Northern Star or Beautiful Intentions.
what about east cost… like NS…… Halifax……. i would so be there…
Okay, first Isabelle - many people in Quebec will write PQ for "Province de Quebec" so please don't think yourself any sort of authority. Second, she's coming to Ottawa - I think I may go if the tickets aren't too much!
thanks Perez!
Re: Rho – *ding ding ding* Congrats Rho! You got todays prize for being 'Asshole of the Day!' Hooray for you! You won this by posting the same post three times in a row…but this is no error, you changed a little of what you said each time you posted. So congrats dear, YOU'RE an idiot!
This Time, although no Northern Star, is still better than the other two. Although, Beautiful Intentions (her third solo album) had "Better Alone" which is nice bitter ballad.
The Bronson Centre? Meh. I guess I'll go if the tickets are cheap. That place is a little sketchy IMHO.
I just bought my tickets for her Montreal show… !
Can't wait !!!
Thank You Perez for posting this about Melanie!! I love this site!
Please do not come to Canada.
I already got my tickets!
Re: Maddy – Sorry Maddy you need to learn your Canadian geography.. Quebec is shortened to QC
Woop! Go on Melanie! I miss her in the UK though. But go on, go rock Canada, then come home!
No no, Quebec IS PQ…
I LOVE HER. She's one awesome lady.
not exactly an across canada tour is it now?
oh and it's PQ
Her album got critically destroyed by sun media music critic darryl sterden, calling it a collection of mopy cold play ballads and alanis rockers, the album got 2 stars which is paris hilton bad.
HEY!!
You have the wrong location for London, ON!!!!
She will be at Rum Runners on Dundas!! But it's not 100% confirmed yet!!!
Wow she's actually coming to Winnipeg? I don;t really know her music,I wish the spice girls would come to winnipeg lol
I am jelous of Canada

thats not an acorss canada tour. where are they maritimes?
i guess were the unlucky ones because the closest city to anyone east of quebec is montreal….and thats a 17 1/2 hour drive away from where i live.
FIRST!
CANADA DOES NOT START IN FUCKING QUEBEC…………..yet again the Maritimes/Atlantic provinces are overlooked.
Pre-sale tickets are available now! Just follow the link below …. https://www.ticketpro.ca/melc/

Shame on her. She should boycott Canada in protest about the bludgeoning of seals. A very sick nation.
Melanie is coming to Saskatchewan!! woohoo!
[b]I want to see the Spice GirlS, not A Spice Girl.. [/b]
loooove you mel!!!!!!!
I love Mel C. She's awesome.
WOOOOOOOOO!! LOVE.
how come if she has booked Edmonton, Canada, that there is no advertising… even the club has no information about her show.
Canada looooves MEL!!!!
GOT MY TICKET TO THE TORONTO SHOW! =D
Toronto Star about Melanie's new album:
Toronto Star:
Quote:
Melanie C This Time (Red Girl) * * * (out of 4) Melanie Chisholm's new record is unadorned, intimate and intelligent – the antithesis of her tenure with the Spice Girls. Always considered the most talented of the bunch, the 33-year-old's fourth album is an acoustic pop outing that gives voice to Gen-X angst. "The Moment You Believe" and "Out of Time," which she co-wrote, sweetly explore the ups and downs of life and relationships without being overwrought. There is evidence of the rock bent that marked her 1999 solo debut Northern Star, but the focus here is lyrics and her thin but distinctive pipes. Rumours that Sporty Spice was behind the premature end of the quintet's reunion tour are understandable if this album is a reflection of her truer nature. Top Track: Lovely instrumentation, including harmonica, on "What If I Stay."
Re: Tori – You can find information at www.emerge.ca or on blog.emerge.ca
The show is definately confirmed
This is NOT a cross Canada tour! This is a tour of Central and Western Canada. She shouldn't include the Atlantic provinces in this by calling it 'Cross Canada' if she isn't going to come to the East to give US a show!
Re: Pers –
Pers, nice name bitch.. moving on from your kife name, asshole of the day eh? thanks, a title I take with honour (that the canadian spelling dipshit)… so further more, french people spell is PQ… I DONT GIVE A FLYING FUCK ABOUT FRENCH PEOPLE… they dont belong in our country. they tried to separate and I wish they did. the french have no place in canada, end of story. Its QC for quebec because everyone says QUEBEC.. no one says Province du Quebec unless your a frog, and if thats teh case, get the fuck outta canada.. adn move to france, oh WAIT your not excepted there either bucause you dont even speak real french, its a broken down french language taht all your quebecers speak. QC is quebec… check out MAPQUEST.CA it will give you the abriviated headings for each province… SO YEAH PQ might be the french way of saying it.. HOW MANY OF PEREZ's BLOGS ARE IN FRENCH? didnt think so.. so as far as asshole of the day, I think i just took the award away from my previous post and granted myself the award from this one…
ITS QC, FRENCH CAN LICK MA BALLS
mel c's perfect…she rocks!
Please don't refer to Canadians as your friends Perez. With the exception of a few friendless losers that have sent you stupid pics, we fucking hate you.
NO ONE COMES TO HALIFAX….THIS CITY SUCKS
Perez, Perez, across Canada means from coast to coast…..she's falling short of that. Canada does not end at Montreal, there are still 4 provinces to the east.
That's like saying Gay James is biking around the world. He's only biked in the US - that is not the world.
Bummer… no east coast dates! There's a good chunk of Canada East of Montreal!!!
Hey! thats so exciting..im trying so hard to go see the lovely Mel!
shes AMAZING!! YOU FUCKING HATERS…BACK IT UP! Stop hating eh?!!!!
DON'T STOP DON'T STOP MELANIE!
Damn, I didn't even KNOW we had a Bronson centre. Oh well, might be fun to go.
Oh how nice, they airbrushed her underbite away!
