Wow, was it really that long ago? Next month, the Spice Girls‘ debut single “Wannabe” turns 20 years old.
But as rumors about an anniversary reunion tour continue to swirl, certain members of the all-girl singing group can’t seem to agree on a key point from Girl Power history: Was Victoria Beckham‘s (AKA Posh Spice) microphone switched on, or not?
Speaking at the Vogue 100 exhibition launch in London in May, Beckham is quoted as saying: “They used to turn it off and just let the others sing. I got the last laugh – and now my mic is well and truly on, finally.”
However, bandmate Mel B now suggests Beckham may have been joking, saying playfully: “She wishes it was turned off!”
Oo-er!
Mel B added, more thoughtfully, during her interview on Entertainment Tonight: “We sung live, and we wrote and recorded all our music together live and we performed it live. It wasn’t turned down. Not that I know of. Maybe she secretly asked for that – I don’t know about that.”
One thing I know for sure is Beckham’s mic was definitely switched ON when she recorded the long lost solo album that leaked last week. I have inside info on this… Victoria Beckham CAN sing!
And I will definitely be a VIP guest at the 20th anniversary reunion tour, IF it actually happens… (Won’t I Mel B!!)
