It makes sense. The song was well received by the critics and general mainstream media. About time it gets *some* radio play! It might not be her fans' favourite, but it might just do more of a trick with the general public than her usual sound...

 

A shame that so many of other radio stations still block solo Spices. Heart FM should be all over this, and it sounds like something BBC1 would play (if it was by, say Katy Perry or some other bad-but-current pop artist.

 

Anyway, here's hoping this turns Mel's fortunes around a bit! If there is a solo Spice that deserves this, it is her :heart:

Get that airplay Melanie

Sporty knows what we need.

 

I'm pleasantly surprised by this! :o

This is SUCH a bop! It's cheap, trashy, horrendous lyrically but joyous and unashamed camp fun.

 

It's knowingly cheap and trashy though. Basically this is exactly what Cheryl should have done instead of 'Love Made Me Do It'.

Or any Katie Price single, in fact I bet Katie is kicking herself not hooking up with Sink the pink herself.

Looking forward to the Graham Norton performance *.*

 

 

 

So Mel is ringing in the New Year on Graham Norton with her latest hit single? Pretty major if you ask me.

Graham Norton is definitely a much more popular chat show than Jonathan Ross and he always gets amazing guests and music guests so this is a great platform for Melanie. Can’t wait to see her perform and see her on the sofa even if it’s a few minutes.

 

Happy New Year, everyone 🥳

Hasn't Jonathan Ross been cancelled? I'm sure I read ITV were axing it.

 

Happy New year hope it is a Spicy 2020 and Mel's performance goes down well tonight.

That wasn't her best performance, was it? :unsure:

#39 on UK iTunes!

It just all is so cheap. Twitter tore her to shreds and it isn't like it was being overly harsh. The song is trash, I have no idea who Sink the pink are in terms of overall drag stuff but they aren't very good either.

 

My favourite tweet was someone saying 'Is mel c really singing about shoes' that about sums it up, what a waste of the goodwill from the Spice tour.

I enjoyed the performance. Solo Spice Girls get slated on Twitter no matter what... and while there's a few people (out of millions of viewers) who tweet negativity (and no doubt get a kick out of receiving a few likes), there'll be plenty who enjoyed her but don't bother tweeting. I can't take anyone seriously who says she "can't sing", and anyone who writes vile things about her appearance simply isn't worth paying attention to... they'd be lucky to look anywhere near as good as Melanie by the age of 35, let alone 45. Disappointing but sadly not surprising to see vile transphobic and homophobic tweets about Sink the Pink too.

Billboard have named High Heels as one of the 50 best dance songs of the year: https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/dan...-of-2019-top-50

 

How well do we know any of our Spice Girls? A full two decades into her solo career, Melanie C reintroduced herself to us with “High Heels,” a collab with U.K. queer cabaret collective Sink the Pink. Seasoned by a series of joint performances at Pride festivals from São Paulo to Madrid, their chemistry is effortless on this track, allowing us to see the Sporty One’s inner carefree dancefloor queen, ready to rule the scene for a night or a lifetime. -- Z.M.

I agree about people slating how she looks, she looks amazing for her age. Criticisms of the song are valid though. She did hit 2 or 3 rather dodgy notes last night too, she can clearly sing but it wasn't her best vocal performance.

I enjoyed the performance made me warm to the song a little more, I actually really like the music and the chorus is catchy as anything it’s just the lyrics in the verses I find too cheesy personally.

 

Got no time for the trolls on twitter though, let’s face it she could have done the best performance in the world and they would still slate her.

Up to #32 on iTunes UK. 🥳

I’ve not actually downloaded it yet going to download my copy later today.

I don't know why anyone is trolling the New Year's performance. I thought it was fantastic. Very solid live vocals with such an energetic dance routine... I think she smashed it.

 

Well done Melanie! She does her fans proud.
