    David Beckham is being knighted, which means Victoria can go by Lady Beckham... she's a real Lady x

Victoria has the rights to those songs, through Moody Productions! Ever since Telstar went under. She's unfortunately never bothered to do anything with them (i.e. release them digitally).
If this happens, at least in the US, media will cover the news and she probably will end up being the Spice with best Spotify numbers there 😂
I get the feeling Victoria wants to pretend her solo music career never happened so this doesn't surprise me.

It would be so interesting to see where and what she would be had her solo career taken off. I reckon she would have still been releasing music were she successful with it (and constantly so) the fashion thing would be a side project ala JLo, she would probably have been much more willing to join a Spice Girls reunion.

I still believe if Victoria was featured on a Calvin Harris or a Zedd track, she would get a semi decent hit on curiosity alone. Especially if the track was a total bop.

Imagine she would get a #1 with it! Ugh!!

I would LOVE Victoria to do that, and let's be honest she is the only one who would stand a chance of being featured on a massive DJ's track like Calvin or Mark Ronson etc. The thought of it going to #1 too making Victoria the only Spice Girl to have a #1 in 3 different decades haha (although you could argue Geri and Melanie C managed that with their features on those charity records).

There's a new programme on BBC iPlayer called The Noughties, with episode 1 focusing on 2000. Part of it focuses on a Victoria Beckham interview on Michael Parkinson, and her chart battle with Spiller/Sophie Ellis-Bextor. (Predictably they weren't very kind about Out of Your Mind)

 

[...]there were a couple of points of genuine interest, both of which involved Victoria Beckham. There was a brief, fascinating (and possibly unfair, given how much times have changed) clip of Michael Parkinson interviewing her at the height of tabloid interest in her life and marriage to David. He asked her on television if it was true that her husband wore her knickers, and then, with bracing bluntness, if she was anorexic? Did she eat? Our modern-day interpreters seemed shocked by the intrusion, and from the perspective of 2020, it is a weird relic, and a sure measure of how much celebrity interviews and the culture of fame have changed. Let’s hope they have not seen him interviewing Helen Mirren in 1975.

 

Beckham also provided the other highlight, with an admirably long section dedicated to retelling the story of her great chart battle with Spiller and Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s Groovejet (If This Ain’t Love), or, as they put it, “the last of the UK’s big chart battles”. By far the most controversial thing Norcott comes out with is that Beckham’s solo-ish single Out of Your Mind is “so unbelievably awful”. In the words of Beckham herself, this tune’s gonna punish you.

Looking back, it is quite astonishing that she's directly asked whether she thinks she's anorexic and what she eats!

Honestly, I can't see her solo career lasting for long even if "VB" had been a huge seller, because just like the other girls she would've had a record underperform eventually. I think she's pretty much like Geri in that aspect - she really only enjoyed releasing music when she was successful with it and if she wasn't, what's the point? I don't exactly see her going down the Mel C route, even if she had a couple of really successful records.

It's Victoria's 47th birthday today, happy birthday to her!
That interview highlights how thankfully times have fractionally changed as the handling of the anorexia questions were horrific and highlighted how clueless Parkinson was about the disease (,even though I liked him as an interviewer) but this interview came across like anorexia was a joking matter. Posh handled that interview very well.

Happy Birthday my gorgeous friend and spicy sister @victoriabeckham. Love you to bits. ❤️❤️❤️

 

Happy Birthday @victoriabeckham!!! Hope you’re having a wonderful day 🥳🥰🎂

 

The happiest of birthdays my darling @victoriabeckham 🥂❤️. Sending kisses and love on your special day! xxx

Looking back it's certainly odd how flippantly anorexia was mentioned, and made into something of a joke... it shows how different attitudes were even just 20 years ago, with little to no regard for someone's mental health.

The British press has always been trash, and Victoria got the full monty of it unfortunately.

 

The way she was treated was awful throughout 1999 - 2010 specially. She really turned it around but no-one should have had to go through what she did, bless her.

she rarely does any videoed press nowadays and when she does... she references her singing... I think its something she wishes she was still doing but is quite scared because of the media.
