I thought this was a needed board. Dumb Spice Girls taking up nice boards places.
Be pissy all you want here. I'm not sayin anything though...you gals sure have covered it well. be mean..... &:}

I think the Spice Girls are just enforcing Ego Power, not true Girl Power. It seems like too much of a female domination thing the way they talk about it anyways....and I htink that gives us all a bad name. Not to mention....I don't want a handful of whores representing feminism. It's just not fair.

The spice girls are a fabricated group of questionably-talented greedy stupid grown women-become-fools. Nothing they do, say or wear come from their minds. They are brainwashed pawns of the music industry and a disgraceful representation thereof. Think about the talent that is left behind because of this garbage. Think about the money reaped by these dips and their creators. Think about the money stupid people spend on them. Think about the time intelligent womyn spend worrying about them. Oops,gotta go...

The SpiceGirls were put on this planet by God to remind us how lucky we are not to be one of them.

Hahah Trista, that's sooo true!

A little while ago "mad t.v." had "The Great Spice Girl Hunt". it was great, all these hunters running around with their guns and the impersionated spice girls running and screaming.

it is funny that ya'll spend your time insulting the spice girls. yea so they are a group formed by the heads of a company. yea so they wear bad clothes. but what the hell! they are rich. they are fun. they are all just a couple of twenty-somethings havin a laugh. so what if kids wanna like them. that is their peragative. I think ya'll are just jealous of five beautiful girls, with alot of money, getting to do what they wanna do. call me crazy, but I would sell me soul to be a spice girl (but I would not wear those tacky clothes).


By Ayelet on Sunday, April 19, 1998 - 11:56 pm:

Look, The problem is that they're trying to show they're feminists. And they're not. They're trying to sell a message with the fun. But they are NOT feminists, and people start thinking feminism=Girl Power and it ruins us, those who try to fight and make a difference. Wanna dance and sing? Sure, but don't sell false messages, nothing good comes out of that.

I heard that the group just fired it's manager, and there's a rumor that the reason is, he was having an affair with the one who's pretending to be a virgin. So, not only are they an poor excuse for women, they're fakes, too.

You are all sad. The Spice girls are alright. You fools. You idiots. You don't know what you're saying? do you. You have no idea what good music is you Hanson adoring computer geeks.


By Ayelet on Saturday, May 2, 1998 - 09:40 am:

Hanson adoring? Heaven forbid! Those redicules kids, so full of themselves. Mmmbop is really so inspirational! No, sorry. I admit I'm a geek and am proud to be one, but I do not adore hanson. No way.
And the Spice girls are just so silly! You never get the feeling that they know what they're talking about. They don't look around them, or think. Personally I have nothing against that. It's the fact they're becoming role models that angers me.


By Molly on Saturday, May 2, 1998 - 08:18 pm:

before you shoot me down, just read this. i love hanson. they are real talented for their ages, they write their own songs, and they can play their own instruments. right there that is a lot to be accounted for. right there they have something over matchbox 20. people (mostly kids) are against them.. why? because of their ages? because of how they look? and then these same people will call them shallow. kind of funny eh? they are fun, non-serious band and should be taken that way. they are having a good time. there are no subliminal messages. Although, to SOME people, if they had gavin rossdale as their lead singer they would be gods right? not that i am some lame anti-bush kid because he said something bad about billy corgan, but because it's obvious that many of his fans love him for his looks, and they go to his concerts to see him prance around with a see-through shirt on, rather than hear him play guitar, right? he should just become a model. i don't understand why, to write good songs, you have to be: A) technical and proficient, or B) write really deep lyrics and be older because you will have "experienced life more" then. who ever said that you write better with age? and who ever said that the faster you can play guitar and the more complicated your songs are, the more talented you are? it dosen't matter how simplistic the songs are, some of the easiest songs are the most beautiful. hanson aren't trying to change your minds like the spice girls. they aren't doing anything un-true at all. at least they are being real, and sincere. just because something dosen't appeal to you dosen't mean it is "crap".

Anonymous, no one asked you to come onto a board about a topic for which you DO NOT AGREE and start being rude to people. You don't see others going onto the Spice Girls board and telling you that you're stupid, do you? If you want to be bitchy, do it somewhere else - NrrdGrrl is a PRO GIRL site!

I can't believe the Spice Girls are so popular If any one else with that much celluloid on show pranced about on stage people would laugh them off if I were that size I think I'd wear more clothes!!!!!!!!!

Ho-ho-ho
What ever has hapeened to ginger spice, or missing spice as she was so nicely dubbed by the news this after noon, is this the end? (say yes...) What furture did a gang of mini skirts known to middle aged men as 'sporty, ginger, baby posh and scary' ever have anyhows.


P.S. dispite all that vic's new hair do rocks

Okay... You girls are really bothering me now.

Why do you hate the Spice Girls? Can't you look at the *good* things they are doing???

Honestly... Who is thier most adoring fan base? Little Girls! And if "Girl Power" and "Just as good as the boys..." is one of the messages that they give them, it's a start, right? It's wonderful!

I'm not here defending them as great talents or anything, but I just want to say this: As girls, we should honestly stop and think. The Spice Girls don't have much talent, but they sound a hell of alot better than 5 random girls picked off the streets!

And who cares if they wear *revealing* clothes? We are here to support girls and not say "Well, she's a slut! Look at those shorts!" If I want to wear daisy dukes and a halter top that barely covers my chest, and I have the courage and self confidence to wear than I say, "Go Me!" Not many people do. I probably wouldn't, but until we grrls, as a collective group, stop criticizing each other, there is not going to be many changes in this world...

Ok, the Spice Girls aren't the *most* annoying group out there, but they ARE close. I don't HATE them, and I have seen them on TV when they are somewhat normal, and not so damn annoying, but I don't like them either. They say, GIRL POWER, yet wear clothes WAY to small. They can't sing. THeir songs are bad. That's NOT to say that they as people are bad. That's their public persona. Who knows what htey are REALLY like? Anyway, I don't like them as a group, but I don't know about them as people. Sporty Spice is the only one who really shows dignity. Her clothes are somewhat revealing, yet they are waht REAL people wear. Such as tank tops and track pants with tennish shoes. Granted, I still don't like the Spice Girls, but if I had to choose my favorite girl, she'd be it.

Maustetytöt on huonompi homma. Geri on plösö. Emma on vanha. Mel C:llä on hönöhampaat. Mel B on menossa naimisiin homppastripparin kanssa (ja oletetusti kuksi Henry Saaren kanssa
sormet kurkkuun yök). Victoria puolestaan ansaitsee hemmon joka kämmäsi Englannin viimeisenkin mahdollisuuden MM-kisoissa...

jos te pellet englanninkieliset ette kässää, oma moka.

SPICE GIRLS R NOT GIRL POWER (& DID NOT INVENT IT EITHER!). GIRL POWER WAS INVENTED LONG AGO WHEN WOMEN BEGAN TO REBEL AGAINST STERIOTYPICAL IDEAS AND WAYS. OH, AND FLAUNTING YOUR *ASSETS* TO GET FURTHER UP THE CHARTS AND DOING THE WHOLE POP-STAR THING IS NOT, AND NEVER WILL BE A SIGN OF GIRL POWER. THANK YOU!!
