ddjmfan well yeah! The group was put together by talent scouts. Took nearly a year to put together and hundreds of girls auditioned. The band didn’t really form naturally but I guess they knew what they were doing because all the girls together made the best girl band in history
@@morgantaylor4431 ...hello, not that long actually - yes there were about 400 girls the day of the first audition (March 4th, 1994) but it took 'only' a bit more than three months to have together the five girls we all know today. More precisely: * Victoria and Mel B were the first to be selected - by early April, and soon afterward was Mel C; Geri wasn't present on March 4th, and came subsequently; * a second round of auditions still in April saw the four girls - Geri, Victoria and the two Mels - being confirmed within a last 12-girl group, but not yet the ultimate band; * and finally, Emma only came to the scene around the last week of July, to be the fifth member after (at least) three other girls had been put aside. In late July 1994 the band was virtually complete, about 4 months after the early decisions.
More of them actually knew eachother. Victoria knew everyone but Mel B, no one knew Mel B though. I made a video on them talking about when they all met, don’t know if you’ve seen it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IALb1e-r7Y0.html
@@AR1GAT0 Well she literally admitted many years ago in the 90s that she experimented with a mysterious "famous friend" for the fun of it, but realized it wasn't her thing. Then just last year Mel B came out and said that "famous friend" was actually her. So apparently Geri and Mel B got drunk and got it on just once then giggled about it later. Look it up. It's true. There's videos on RU-vid of them talking about it too. So yeah, a little bi curious action going on.
@@samanthadrakos Thats also the reason why Geri left the group at the height of their career cause Mel B has fallen in love with one of their male dancer. There are videos that shows and so obvious Mel B and Ger loved each other.
I was floored hearing the "F" word come out of Geri's mouth! 😮 This shows that Geri is not a natural redhead, she's a brunette. She had some pretty hair and she was adorable!
Haha I laughed at that, especially considering you’d never hear her say that now. The dark hair is probably colored though, because she was platina blonde the few years before that
@@CrystalEye90210No because she thinks she's regal and royalty and always wears white. She's dull and boring now. She's forgotten how to have fun now that she's married. She needs to put some color back in her wardrobe and bring back her real personality.
I doubt if she really is a redhead, because in Mama’s clip, when they show the 5 when they were little, Geri is a redhead, at least the photo they showed of her, she was a redheaded child.
GREAT video compilation, thanx so much!!! Quite interesting to see... oh well, Mel C was indeed a TRUE athlete, something impressive. btw, please is it her around 9:55 dressed in white? If so, is it possible to know when, and which instance it was? Thanx !!! Wishes from Italy.
pierre00 Good eye! But it doesn’t have the blue part at the sides I think. But I thought I read somewhere that Geri combined 2 outfits to make the dress she wore to meet the prince. She did that more often. So this might be 1 of the items she used!
@@pierre00 Just found this and thought of your comment: she was probably wearing the first outfit! facebook.com/176532719031416/photos/a.179119518772736/593857997298884/?type=3&theater
Geri’s age is always a mystery. even Mel B said that Geri is older than what she claimed to be. and in Mama video clip, her childhood pic quality looks very old indeed. and even here you can tell that as early as early 90s she already look somewhat mature.
No, Emma and Victoria went to the same school and have known eachother since they were 9. Melanie C and Victoria also knew eachother before Victoria knew Geri
Look at Geri! She was the most beautiful off the bunch. She's like Marilyn Monroe and Mel C was not the prettiest but turned out to be the most beautiful & youngest looking now in their 40s. Lol. Shame her childhood clips are too few also for VB.
Eh…Mel B and Victoria were the most beautiful, Baby too. Mel C was pretty. Geri always looked rough to me, but maybe it was because of the bad makeup. Either way, the other four girls were stunners. Especially Mel B and Victoria.
@@MatiiT Geri was such a doll in these old clips ! But I agree, even though I found her beautiful (top 3) in the band's early days, the choice of make-up was a bit cheap. But, to me, she looked way healthier and prettier then, than gym freak Geri later on. I think she has a beautiful smile, but isn't the classic worldwide beautiful face, more a niche beautiful face.. or is the bad makeup always ruining the impression? I like her looks in this material. I agree that, in comparison, Victoria's and Mel B's make-up fit in right today and any day.
I thought so too so I was reading comments to see if someone else noticed it and explained it. So I'm giving you what I learned. She combined that outfit with another one. So the white and the blue outfit for when she smacked the prince's ass.
Makes you wonder if the reason they were so big so fast in Turkey and Spain is because subconsciously some people were attracted to the group because of a familiar face without realizing why. Some curiosity to watch more of the group. Like feeling they have a connection to the group but couldn't figure out why they were so attracted to it. Like one of those scientific experiment to make you attracted to something before you really "meet" the person/thing/circumstance, but is because subconsciously they made u use to it. 🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈 [Of course that's just a joke. They were popular fast in Japan and Geri had no connection to it. They were popular fast because they earn it.]
