Yep that is my point, BMG will obviously have deals with processing plants so get better prices for producing vinyls, cassettes etc.
They no doubt will have more power to book Emma promo slots and a bigger advertising budget. BMG seem to have a exclusive signed copies deal with Amazon too. Also whoever Mel C uses to print her music have been pretty awful haven't 2 or 3 singles had the wrong songs or tracklist and a DVD covered in glue that didn't play. When you look at the video of Emma signing copies and the big team at BMG it isn't surprising things are more professional. |

Had she released Version of Me on a proper record label I think it could've gone top ten - Anything actually got decent airplay and the two following singles got playlisted by Radio 2. (Keeping It In The) Red(,) Girl clearly can't push her music or organise her promo properly even when radio stations pick her tracks up.
Hell, Stages could've gone at least top 40 if not top 20 with a properly focused campaign. This post has been edited by tommie: 23rd March 2019, 02:36 PM |

Version of Me was only 1,045 copies behind #15 (she sold 4,084, Shawn Mendes sold 5,129) so you’d think that if she’d had a deluxe CD & vinyl out at the same time, she could have managed Top 15 instead of #25, and definitely Top 20. Given that she’s independent & she managed to sell 4k+ on the strength of 1 CD & downloads*, she didn’t do too badly!
* and minimal streaming. |

So proud to announce details of a unique, world-colliding live show with @SinkThePinkLDN debuting on a tour of Pride events later this summer. Beginning in Sao Paolo-June 21st, this thrilling collaboration will also bring the party to other cities, more details unveiled soon! X https://www.hotpress.com/music/mel-c-sink-p...-shows-22770524 English superstar Melanie C has announced a collaborative show with LGBTQ+ collective Sink the Pink at the Limelight Belfast on 27 September and the Academy Dublin on 28 September. Tickets go on sale on Thursday, 11 April at 10 am from Jinjer! Events and Ticketmaster. Best known as “Sporty Spice,” one of five members of legendary girl group The Spice Girls, Melanie C (born Melanie Chisolm) has also established herself as an illustrious solo artist, with two Number One singles, seven studio albums, three video albums and two live albums to her name. LGBTQ+ collective Sink the Pink call themselves “an antidote to the soulless mega clubs,” infusing elements of the classic nightclub scene with the creative power of diversely talented artists. Since 2008, they’ve gained a reputation as “the UK’s biggest and most outrageous queer night” according to a 2016 profile in The Guardian. In the summer of 2018, Chisolm and Sink the Pink founder and presenter Glyn Fussell collaborated on a show in which four Sink the Pink drag queens masqueraded as Chisolm’s bandmates. The performance came to life at the Mighty Hoopla Festival in London, an alternative event co-founded by Sink the Pink, and received rave reviews. This fall will see the pair reunite to execute a brand-new vision. Before the Sink the Pink performances, Mel C will perform in Croke Park as part of the Spice Girls on 24 May. Extra tickets for the park's first girl group-led gig were released at the end of March due to overwhleming demand. Please note that the Mel C feat. Sink the Pink events are over 18’s only. A valid, government issued photographic ID must be presented for entry. This post has been edited by dachiki: 8th April 2019, 01:15 PM |

The Mighty Hoopla performance looked great. I was gutted to have missed it. So I'll probably go to one of these. Just hope Melanie's doing more than a DJ set.

The performance at Mighty Hoopla looked shit. I saw videos and it was just embarassing. Some friends went and said exactly the same.
Glad she is doing a 'different' project this time, and I look forward to seeing some videos of it, but honestly the whole Pride thing is not my cup of tea (it is nowadays a festival, rather than pride) so I will skip it. I could go to the Brighton one as it is where I live but I dont know if I can stand this lol |

I'm afraid most of the solo projects mel c does outside of releasing music either range from boring to just plain embarrassing. The dj'ing is particularly embarrassing and this looks not my kind of thing at all.

Most of the stuff Melanie does outside of her music is actually still music related which is what her true passion is: - Superstar Judge - Blood Brothers - Jesus Christ Superstar - DJ - This Sink the Pink Pride collaboration - Corporate gigs She still has integrity with her solo projects unlike the other girls who have all branched out away from music the second they started flopping. They were more interested in being famous than the music and performing which is far more embarrassing tbh. |

I don't think it was supposed to be slick or expensive. Just a bit of a giggle. Great way to send up the (at that point) stalling reunion. And I always love a little recognition of the LGBT fanbase. |

Sammy always hates on Mel C but supports Emma’s lame and cheap sounding covers album.
It’s seems that Melanie has finally agreed to cater for her core fanbase. |

QUOTE(Voodoo @ Apr 9 2019, 02:22 PM) Same for Mr. X. Excuse me? I have been very critical of the covers album and other projects that are not music related such as the radio gig, for instance. I don't like half-arsed creative projects and that is my take. The performance at Mighty Hoopla was just cringe and this new project doesnt give me much faith. But ok, you also ignored my other post above where I state that I am hopeful for new music from Melanie as it seems she is collaborating with really interesting people and going on a new direction. I welcome that. Just because we are critical, it doesn't mean that we are not fans or don't like them. Both myself and sammy01 have always supported the girls. We just won't take any old crap they will throw at us for money lol We want them to do well, but also to do quality work. That has always been my position on them and I am not going to change on that lol |

That's also not really fair tbh. Sammy sometimes says nice things (once every blue moon ). He was similar about Melanie C's lame and cheap musical covers album fairly supportive of it saying it was a good decision at the time.

I've been critical of some of Emma's song choices and delivery from the new album. Mel C's solo projects might still be music related but they are always just so low rent and cringe. You list Asia got talent the TV show canned after 1 year. TV judging is ok if you are doing AGT or X factor or something high profile but it was Asia's got talent for christ sake. The djing is embarrassing because the woman who is about to play 3 sold out nights at Wembley just a few weeks ago played a student union DJ set, I mean is the money really worth that? This new tour will be thrown together, the first date is 6 days after Wembley it is hardly going to be some hugely choreographed affair with a big budget.

Asia's Got Talent was a random choice I have to say, but I'm sure it paid her well which is probably the reason she took that job. As far as the DJ-ing do you not think she might just enjoy doing it? Why should she not learn a new skill and do something different? Superstar, Blood Brothers, JCS, none of them were low rent or cringe. You are being unfair making such a broad statement. |

She never performs full choreographed sets, she doesn’t need weeks of rehearsal to sing her solo material that she has been touring for years.
