It s a good thing we agree on attractiveness
The only thing Id give Posh is the contents of my food cupboard. The poor girl needs to have something to vomit, after all....

Individually they hold little value. However as a group ....
I am not trying to defend them or anything (but I do agree with Jekyll). . . .lord knows the world is full of people with bad taste, however they have had, as a group that was really only active for 5 or 6 years, a lot of success. If anything they produce music, which is not intellectually stimulating but in SOME cases fun to dance to (should I be embarrassed? )

I'm not sure Jekyll was referring to group singing ...
Ah, the difference between 'popular' and 'good'...
Emma Bunton can actually sing after a fashion, thereby rendering her the best of them. That and she's not hideously disfigured like the rest of them.
Britpop had much better-looking girls.
Do they sing?
Oh and you definitely are ... a chick
hence the reason I refer to their "success" and "popularity" not to singing talent (or lack there of). (I prefer blues myself. . .) Emma had her solo career but it was not nearly as successful as what she did with the group.
Just making the point of bash them all you want but the things they have done with their singing career have not been achieved by everybody.
Sporty Spice is a nice girl. Despite her dire solo efforts (getting bottled off stages, the Punk thing etc) she's the one for me, fatty.
She used to go to a pub near Liverpool every Christmas Eve, although she was a 'Celeb', and sit in her corner with a group of mates and have a fun evening. She'd happily get the drinks in, walk about alone and pose for pictures, shake hands, give a few kisses on the way - super. No bodyguards or attitude.
Couldn't see Robot-Pish, sorry, Posh ever having fun and actually smiling
stop that kind of talk, you're reminding me of Sonia being in the Hippodrome in Liverpool many years ago and everyone avoiding the redheaded midget
Emma Bunton because she's not underfed and over exercised and Mel C because she can actually have a successful solo career.
Posh should just give up, go home and get pie and chips down her neck, oh, and quit pouting all the time.
Apparently, with the diet she's following, she's in danger of collapsing during performances.
Sing? Mime you mean.
You're a lot younger than you look
Thanks for the Hippodrome memories. What a horrible place...
The one I liked most was Melanie C, the sporty-spicy the kind of girl you could play other games with too...
But I am surprised to see her as a fatty...
Ah yes, now I think you've seen the point Jekyll was making...
Isn't fatty of a different persuasion? Somehow she doesn't seem to exude sex appeal.
I thought Ms Chisholm did well with the one she sang with Bryan Adams. It got a lot of airplay even in the middle east. I liked it and I think you are right, she seems to be the most down to earth one of the lot.
She looks like a skeleton with two grapefruit halves attached to her torso!
Mel C has had eating disorder issues and it's very difficult to keep a "normal" shape (which she in fact has), never mind meeting with today's beauty expectations without slipping back into the nasty habits of before. So kudos to her and a slap for all the judgemental idiots who contribute to most women in the western world constantly being at war with their looks. Where's my soapbox, dammit!
