Speaker 1: talking to sporty Spice, our very favorite spice. Melanie. See

00:00:43,484 --> 00:00:45,443
Speaker 1: she's spending more and more time on our shores as

Speaker 1: a judge of the Voice Australia.

10
00:00:47,004 --> 00:00:50,164
Speaker 2: And look as we live and breathe, it's Melanie C.

11
00:00:50,724 --> 00:00:55,324
Speaker 2: Well hello, Hello, I was just thinking, Melanie C. I

12
00:00:55,364 --> 00:00:57,444
Speaker 2: sound like it sounds like you're in trouble. When I

13
00:00:57,484 --> 00:00:58,404
Speaker 2: say Melanie C.

14
00:01:00,404 --> 00:01:03,244
Speaker 3: When I get when I get the full surname, that's

15
00:01:03,284 --> 00:01:04,003
Speaker 3: when I am in trouble.

16
00:01:05,964 --> 00:01:08,804
Speaker 1: In the in the very beginning, when you first became

17
00:01:08,924 --> 00:01:12,084
Speaker 1: a bicycle, was it you that came up with being sporty?

18
00:01:12,124 --> 00:01:14,244
Speaker 1: Did you have options and you chose that one? And

19
00:01:14,564 --> 00:01:15,844
Speaker 1: were you a sporty person?

20
00:01:16,404 --> 00:01:18,964
Speaker 3: Do you know what? It was? Actually a magazine here

21
00:01:18,964 --> 00:01:21,844
Speaker 3: in the UK, so you must know. The show's Top

22
00:01:21,884 --> 00:01:25,203
Speaker 3: of the Pups legend show here in the UK, and

23
00:01:25,364 --> 00:01:28,283
Speaker 3: they had a magazine that ran alongside it. And it

24
00:01:28,324 --> 00:01:32,164
Speaker 3: was actually the editor of the magazine was like, you

25
00:01:32,203 --> 00:01:34,643
Speaker 3: girls need nicknames, and they just gave us these little

26
00:01:34,644 --> 00:01:38,084
Speaker 3: throwaway and it was either on our appearents or our personality.

27
00:01:38,524 --> 00:01:40,964
Speaker 3: And I was always like really sporty and in my

28
00:01:41,044 --> 00:01:43,684
Speaker 3: trackies and stuff. So that's where that came from. And

29
00:01:43,724 --> 00:01:46,804
Speaker 3: we love our nicknames. We really embraced them and we

30
00:01:46,844 --> 00:01:49,884
Speaker 3: almost became caricatures of them. And you know, they were

31
00:01:49,884 --> 00:01:53,164
Speaker 3: a great marketing tool as well. It was a beautiful accident.

32
00:01:53,804 --> 00:01:56,804
Speaker 1: Yeah, how brilliant. If you'd gone Interest in your pajamas

33
00:01:56,804 --> 00:01:58,604
Speaker 1: and a branch coat that day, you'd have had quite

34
00:01:58,604 --> 00:01:59,364
Speaker 1: a different nickname.

35
00:02:01,204 --> 00:02:05,004
Speaker 3: Well, the wonderful thing was I'm always comfortable, you know,

36
00:02:05,524 --> 00:02:07,803
Speaker 3: and sports where it just never goes out of fashion.

37
00:02:07,844 --> 00:02:10,564
Speaker 3: I mean it's having a moment. It's been having a

38
00:02:10,564 --> 00:02:13,564
Speaker 3: moment for a good i'd say a good decade or so.

39
00:02:13,564 --> 00:02:15,844
Speaker 3: So yeah, long may that range.

40
00:02:16,124 --> 00:02:20,004
Speaker 2: Yes, How do you feel when people say that you

41
00:02:20,043 --> 00:02:23,164
Speaker 2: are probably the best vocalist in the spice skills? Does

42
00:02:23,163 --> 00:02:25,363
Speaker 2: that cause trouble with the other spicies?

43
00:02:26,284 --> 00:02:30,404
Speaker 3: Well, it doesn't. And that's interesting with what we're talking

44
00:02:30,444 --> 00:02:34,044
Speaker 3: about today because obviously being a coach on the voice

45
00:02:35,004 --> 00:02:37,923
Speaker 3: voices affect people in different ways, do you know what

46
00:02:37,964 --> 00:02:40,524
Speaker 3: I mean? It's very much about personal taste, so of

47
00:02:40,564 --> 00:02:45,363
Speaker 3: course it's very lovely compliments. But recently I was listening

48
00:02:45,483 --> 00:02:50,244
Speaker 3: to Viva Forever, and I would say, Viva Forever is

49
00:02:50,324 --> 00:02:53,203
Speaker 3: one of the songs where if you got your headphones

50
00:02:53,204 --> 00:02:56,483
Speaker 3: in and you have a listen, you hear everybody's voices individually,

51
00:02:56,844 --> 00:02:59,924
Speaker 3: and you hear them blends and without one of the

52
00:02:59,964 --> 00:03:02,564
Speaker 3: Spice Girls, it isn't the Spice Girls.

53
00:03:02,724 --> 00:03:05,764
Speaker 2: It's like me and Amanda with their vocals. People say

54
00:03:05,803 --> 00:03:07,163
Speaker 2: that my vocal titan is better.

55
00:03:07,884 --> 00:03:08,483
Speaker 3: I think you're.

56
00:03:12,204 --> 00:03:12,844
Speaker 2: Hall or notes.

57
00:03:13,284 --> 00:03:16,364
Speaker 1: Yeah, we always find obviously.

58
00:03:17,684 --> 00:03:22,084
Speaker 3: I think I think you complement each other very diplomatic.

59
00:03:22,603 --> 00:03:25,844
Speaker 1: For all, for all that you learned from those heavy

60
00:03:25,884 --> 00:03:28,844
Speaker 1: and extraordinary days, what are the main things that you

61
00:03:29,084 --> 00:03:33,404
Speaker 1: hope to impart to the voice contestants? What have you

62
00:03:33,483 --> 00:03:35,683
Speaker 1: drilled down as to what matters most.

63
00:03:35,884 --> 00:03:39,484
Speaker 3: I think you really get a sense of what one

64
00:03:39,524 --> 00:03:41,724
Speaker 3: of the artists on the show might need, you know,

65
00:03:41,803 --> 00:03:46,444
Speaker 3: whether it's a confidence thing, a technical thing, you know,

66
00:03:46,564 --> 00:03:48,964
Speaker 3: even a little bit of humor to break the ice.

67
00:03:49,724 --> 00:03:53,324
Speaker 3: I think it really depends on the individual. And it

68
00:03:53,404 --> 00:03:56,564
Speaker 3: took me a long time to not feel silly to

69
00:03:57,284 --> 00:04:00,084
Speaker 3: impart my wisdom, do you know what I mean? But

70
00:04:00,164 --> 00:04:02,964
Speaker 3: it's like, I've been working in music for nearly thirty

71
00:04:03,044 --> 00:04:06,724
Speaker 3: years now, and I have performed on some of the

72
00:04:06,924 --> 00:04:10,524
Speaker 3: you know, the world's biggest stages, and I think, you know,

73
00:04:10,604 --> 00:04:12,964
Speaker 3: you can't take that for granted. And I think especially

74
00:04:12,964 --> 00:04:15,644
Speaker 3: when you see younger artists or even some of our

75
00:04:15,884 --> 00:04:18,804
Speaker 3: more mature artists who were one thing to kind of

76
00:04:18,844 --> 00:04:22,363
Speaker 3: move up a level, they really take it in.

77
00:04:22,484 --> 00:04:25,524
Speaker 2: But also you're probably the most qualified because your history

78
00:04:25,604 --> 00:04:29,164
Speaker 2: was pretty much a reality show without the TV cameras.

79
00:04:29,404 --> 00:04:32,084
Speaker 2: I know there was some filming around the time, but

80
00:04:32,204 --> 00:04:35,604
Speaker 2: really you know better than anyone, you know.

81
00:04:35,684 --> 00:04:38,884
Speaker 3: I think it's so interesting, isn't it how this world

82
00:04:38,964 --> 00:04:42,004
Speaker 3: has evolved in every way? And I think, you know,

83
00:04:42,044 --> 00:04:45,844
Speaker 3: the success of the Spice Girls in some ways kind

84
00:04:45,884 --> 00:04:49,004
Speaker 3: of led to shows like this. You know, the manager

85
00:04:49,044 --> 00:04:51,284
Speaker 3: we worked with in the ninety Salmon Fuller, went on

86
00:04:51,564 --> 00:04:54,724
Speaker 3: to create pop Idol, which was you know, huge around

87
00:04:54,724 --> 00:04:56,524
Speaker 3: the world, and of course then there was the X

88
00:04:56,564 --> 00:04:59,164
Speaker 3: factor in all these different shows. And I think we

89
00:04:59,164 --> 00:05:03,524
Speaker 3: were probably one of the last bands that didn't have

90
00:05:03,644 --> 00:05:05,204
Speaker 3: eyes on us from the get.

91
00:05:05,004 --> 00:05:07,684
Speaker 2: Go and you'd be having the tracking pants that you

92
00:05:07,924 --> 00:05:11,564
Speaker 2: rocked are coming back, the new look leggings are out.

93
00:05:13,164 --> 00:05:15,204
Speaker 1: You're not going to mention the stirrup pan, are you.

94
00:05:15,244 --> 00:05:17,844
Speaker 2: No, I'm not marrying pants.

95
00:05:17,844 --> 00:05:20,524
Speaker 3: We got them Sea pants. So yeah. The thing is

96
00:05:20,564 --> 00:05:25,884
Speaker 3: with trackies. I mean, you know there's certain track pants,

97
00:05:26,044 --> 00:05:29,844
Speaker 3: certain brands. They're just cool, aren't they. I mean the

98
00:05:29,884 --> 00:05:33,044
Speaker 3: fingers with a legging is a very small percentage of

99
00:05:33,044 --> 00:05:36,564
Speaker 3: the population that can really pull off a legging, you

100
00:05:36,604 --> 00:05:38,683
Speaker 3: know what I mean? And I'm definitely not.

101
00:05:40,604 --> 00:05:43,004
Speaker 1: We know that you have an Australian partner, You're part

102

00:05:46,764 --> 00:05:51,363
Speaker 1: when you arrive at the Australia People real estate.

00:05:52,724 --> 00:05:54,364
