QUOTE(vibe @ Feb 17 2018, 09:43 AM)  An accoustic GH will have no appeal to the wider public . Of course it will. Every booking she gets is for her to sing a song from NS or Spice Girls. Re-recording the songs means she wont have to pay for the rights to the songs from Virgin for NS. She can also add a solo version of Too Much. |

if she does it will enter at 30 and leave the next week. a proper GH would do much better, but then she has publication rights issues with the virgin tracks no? and they are what would sell it.

Melanie is not likely to pay Virgin who dropped her to use the original versions of her biggest singles. Like Sophie Ellis-Bextor is doing with her upcoming Orchestral GH album by re-imagining them as acoustic versions she won't have to pay Virgin to use them. No matter what kind of hits album Melanie releases it isn't going to do well, but if she does it acoustically she won't lose as much money. |

Then she can do orchestral, or remixes, but not acoustic

Sophie Ellis Bexter, Kylie, Tori Amos etc. It is the easy way to get around paying a label you used to be on for rights to songs. Strip them back and re-record them. TLC rerecorded all their songs for this reason too, so they not the old record label would earn money off them. It isn't like Mel hasn't talked about it recently and talked about how putting out a hits collection would be tough as her old label owns her NS and Reason stuff. She also did 'live hits'. She has said she is working on 2 albums it is obvious one will be a cash grab or cash in type album like Stages. It isn't likr she would be forking out for 2 studio albums at the same time. Plus a Mel C 'Greatest Hits' tour would sell much better than a regular one. |

Kylie has also released at least 4 GH collections that I can name.
Same with TLC . Acoustic hits should be the second CD (along with the standard version). |

Kylie and TLC had major labels backing them when releasing those. Mel C has Red Girl, which is... in the red. I doubt she's going to license them especially as I'm sure Virgin could just throw out their own "Platinum Mel C collection" if they wanted to. |

Yes but Kylie is a bit different she has major record labels backing her while Melanie is on her own independent label. Also Kylie doesn't write any of her songs, while Melanie writes pretty much all of them. You can understand why she feels resentful about paying Virgin to use her own songs.

I'd like Melanie to put an updated spin on her back catalogue for some kind of 'Greatest Hits'.
She won't sell tonnes. And Virgin aren't going to do anything unless it's a guaranteed money-spinner. But if she wants to do it, why not? I don't really understand the anger on this thread. |

Yeah I actually think it would be a sensible move given this year might be a spice nostalgia fest. The girls early solo blends into that nostalgia feel very well. |

I actually think Melanie has a great catalogue for a solo greatest hits, whether it be acoustic or just the original tracks and it would be a great move for her to play up to the nostalgia of Spice Girls by releasing a GH at the same time.
1. Going down 2. Northern star 3. Never be the same again (feat Lisa Left Eye Lopez) 4. I turn to you 5. If that were me 6. Here it comes again 7. On the horizon 8. Yeh, yeh, yeh 9. Next best superstar 10. First day of my life 11. Carolyna 12. Think about it 13. Loving you (with Matt Cardle) 14. I know him so well (with Emma Bunton) 15. Anymore 16. New song 17. New song or He aint heavy he’s my brother (solo version) 18. Too much (solo version) 19. When you’re gone (with Bryan Adams) That would be a great track-listing. I'm not a huge fan of HAHHMB but could be a good move for her putting a solo version of it on there then she could technically boast "Includes 3 UK number ones NBTSA, ITTY and HAHHMB, the European #1 FDOML and the UK smash hit WYG with Bryan Adams" I really believe that a GH of some sort is coming this year, she was recording with Bryan Adams not long ago, I would bet money that they have done a re-recording of WYG for the album. Ps I would be really tempted to get rid of IKHSW the only reason I included it is because it represents the Stages album, I kinda think Mel will ignore it though (which wouldn't bother me at all).

I like the sound of that track list Spiceboy. But yes, I'd leave off IKHSW too.
Actually, I'd love Emma and Melanie to record their version of '2 Become 1'. The fans know how close those two are. |

Totally agree sammy01 - Spice girls nostalgia is cool at the moment. Melanie should jump on that trend.
I've even seen 'Girl Power' slogan tees in the shops. I love it. I miss the 90's so much
