35
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 4: What's on the set list? Did a Melanie see dj?

36
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:51,120

39
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 3: We we mixed it up, But I I have a

40
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,919
Speaker 3: lot of fun using like Spice Girl songs for mixing

41
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 3: them in. There's some great reason. But I also love

42
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 3: doing mashups. So sometimes I'll play, you know, a little

43
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 3: bit of Wanna Be, but we'll kind of mix it

44
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 3: into a little bit of Nirvana and.

45
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, And do you still go by sporty spies

46
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 5: because you still look very sporty. When I saw you

47
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 5: DJing the other night, I was like, you are so fit.

48
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 5: You look like you have an age today. How have

49
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 5: you done that?

50
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 3: Thank you very much. I work with some great professionals.

51
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 3: What I do love keeping fit, and I just I

52
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 3: don't think I'll ever stop. Really, I think as you

53
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 3: get older, you kind of you need to lean into

54
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 3: that a little bit more. But it's great, you know,

55
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 3: because we're so much more aware, aren't we of like

56
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 3: nutrition and what's good for us fitness wise. I've been

57
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 3: here in Australia, it's perfect. This outdoor lifestyle really suits me.

58
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 5: I love that you still embrace the Spats Girls because

59
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 5: so often you see like people who were in bands

60
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 5: and then they move on to their solo career and

61
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 5: they want to park it and they don't want any

62
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 5: cross pollination. But you obviously still happily embrace that Spice

63
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 5: girl's era, which by the way, was just my entire childhood.

64
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 5: Like I'm having a bit of a freak out that

65
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 5: we're having this conversation right now because I dressed up

66
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 5: as you and your girlfriends so many times in my childhood.

67
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's amazing, you know, and I think, you know,

68
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 3: for all young artists, I think if you're lucky enough

69
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 3: to be in a band that is successful and then

70
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 3: you move on to other things, you do want to

71
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 3: distance yourself for a little while, and then you realize

72
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 3: if you don't embrace where you can, especially you know,

73
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 3: the Spice Girls. It's such an incredible legacy that now

74
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 3: I'm just obviously so proud and always like to have

75
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 3: a nud to sporty spice in the rest.

76
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 6: Of the gang.

77
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 7: Does the world have enough girl groups these days?

78
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 4: I don't think they do it.

79
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 5: It's k pop are the big girl bands?

80
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 7: They stays.

81
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a time, isn't it in music?

82
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 5: That?

83
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 6: Because, like you say, k pop is big.

84
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 3: But other than that, we haven't got like you know,

85
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 3: the boy and girl bands that were used to traditionally

86
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 3: like the eighties, nineties and nineties really only out there.

87
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 5: We do, for one, we should do one of those

88
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 5: shows again where you do the auditions and put one together.

89
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 7: What kind of judge are you, Melanie on the Voice

90
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 7: Australia do you think?

91
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 6: Do you know what?

92
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 3: I don't want to sound like a I don't want

93
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 3: to use a swear word on the air, but I

94
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 3: don't want to sound like a div as we would say.

95
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 6: I want to be authentic. You know.

96
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 3: TV isn't my natural place of work and I have

97
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 3: to like just be like truely to who I am,

98
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,920
