The whole book and its release has been to coincide with Spiceworld 25.

The book’s release presumably coinciding with Spiceworld 25 preorders isn’t really an issue, but Melanie C promoting a Greatest Hits album at the same time as Spiceworld 25 would be a major clash in interests and a bit awkward, so I think that’s the point Mr.X was making.

A major clash of interests, really no one would really care!!

 

MC should have released a best of along with the book!!

I also don’t think it would have been a major clash tbh.

Sobbbbb at Jay thinking there will be some big promo schedule clash of SW25 and Who I am. Those pre-programmed tweets and insta posts will not clash #oh

 

Also Mel C was playing solo shows on the off days of the 2007 tour, Emma released an album 6 weeks before the 2019 tour.

 

They really don't care or see any group project as their sole focus.

This! It would really put me off even considering streaming the GH.

Point out where I said that?

 

All music attention, in terms of selling products on CD/Vinyl/Cassette, is going to be focused on Spiceworld 25. That's literally what's about to happen.

 

It would be awkward scheduling to have a Melanie C Greatest Hits album released in close proximity to the Spiceworld 25 album. Whereas an autobiography book coinciding with Spiceworld 25 isn't so much a conflict, in fact they will compliment each other - Melanie plugging her book which is to a significant extent about Spice Girls, and a Spice Girls reissued album. It goes hand in hand. She'd surely want her Greatest Hits to stand on its own, not be overshadowed by a Spice Girls anniversary?

 

I mean goodness, we've had enough discussions over the years about how Hot and Forever being out within a month of each other was bad timing.

 

This is such a moot discussion anyway considering a Melanie C Greatest Hits album isn't happening, so I don't know why there's any need for scoffing and sarcasm.

I feel you are on edge, this SW25 waiting is getting to you. Stay stong!

This is such a petty little comment that just proves Jay's point :rolleyes:

My comments weren't serious I thought that was obvious.

If I interpreted the initial post too seriously then sorry for the misunderstanding. Let's all move on! ^_^ To be fair the wait is getting to me lol.

The book will cover plenty of Spicy happenings and stuff we don’t know or we forgot about it. Let’s put it like that - and sign my words - some blog / website already read the book for review purposes.. I now can see her promoting the book on TV to talk about certain things It perfectly matches the SW25 celebrations - and I’m glad it’s going to be Spice only-related time (I’m all for solo music, but Spice and Spice World are HERSTORY and come first).

 

OT: Sooner or later, we’re getting a GH. A rumor: she re-recorded some of her songs with other artists (Natalie Imbruglia being one of them). Again, a rumor (it makes sense though if we think about the new version of WYG).

So sad how in 2000 she was on top career wise with two solo number 1s and a successful multi platinum album yet she wasn’t happy personally. Just shows how success can have a price attached.

 

I wonder if she’ll divulge on recording most of Forever alone? Would be interesting to hear her thoughts on that. A very unhappy time I’m sure.

Thank you for sharing, Voodoo! ^_^

I definitely hope that she'll elaborate on the Forever era - I'm sure she will given that she was having such a difficult time personally at that moment, so to read some more context about the recording / promotion would be interesting.

Do you think the news about the Queen will affect upcoming book promo?

It's apparently 10 days of mourning so probably yes
