Too Soon

written by: Argyle Adam Stuart, Chisholm Melanie

[...]
But it’s too soon to be too late
Gotta keep on fighting, gotta keep trying

Tell myself
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop no
Don’t stop, don’t stop

I know that we’re breaking but we’re not broke
Maybe there’s no point, no way, no hope
It would be too easy to throw this away
but it’s too soon, too soon, to be too late

New York Post: Spice Girls discuss London Olympics reunion
Posted on Monday, 20 February 2012 by Sebastian

MELBOURNE, Australia — The Spice Girls will reform to sing at the Olympics in London, according to singer Mel B — however two of her bandmates have already said that a reunion is not on the cards.

The singer, whose full name is Melanie Brown, told Melbourne’s Triple M radio station Monday that she was “a really crap liar” when host Eddie McGuire pressed her about performing at the Olympics, the Herald Sun reported.

“I should have just said no,” she said.

However, two of her bandmates flatly denied any reunion when asked over the weekend if it was a possibility ahead of the Olympic Games and Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations in June.

Victoria Beckham, aka Posh Spice, said the five singers were approached to play at a concert for the Queen alongside stars including Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Elton John, but they were unable to accept.

“The thing with the Spice Girls is it was so flattering to be asked to do the Jubilee,” she told the Daily Mirror.

“But we have lots on our plates and we are all so focused on the end of the year and ‘Viva Forever,’ the musical. The Jubilee isn’t going to happen. But the musical is going to be really great and we’re focusing on that.”

Meanwhile, Melanie Chisholm, aka Mel C or Sporty Spice, told British TV show “Lorraine” that performances at both events had been under discussion but are definitely not going to happen and their reunion in 2007 was the band’s “final farewell.”

“It’s such an incredible opportunity and the concert looks like it’s going to be out of this world,” Chisholm said.

“But unfortunately — bad news for any Spice Girls fans — we don’t plan to perform or reform, so I’m sorry to disappoint anybody. We often have things that we talk about and then the Olympics and the Diamond Jubilee came up and it was under discussion but unfortunately it’s not going to happen.

“We have to respect each other’s wishes and we reformed in 2007 and we had an amazing time. The show was incredible and that kind of feels like our final farewell.”

Brown, however, did not confirm or deny the group would be performing at a concert in London as part of Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

“I don’t want to confirm or deny any of it. But we are definitely getting together because we’ve got our Spice Girls musical coming out this year. So I’m hoping yeah,” she said.

The Spice Girls formed in 1994 and broke up in 2000.

Mum’s the word for Melanie C
Posted on Friday, 17 February 2012 by Sebastian

Melanie C is back! The former Spice Girl is on great form on her latest album, The Sea, and is at the O2 Academy Newcastle on February 26. Entertainment Editor GORDON BARR catches up with her

REWIND a few years and Spice Girls dolls were giving Barbies a run for their money in the toy shops.

But it was a real-life Spice Girl meeting a real-life Barbie earlier this week – as Melanie C took her daughter Scarlet on an outing to see the children’s icon.

“Yay, we met Barbie – how cool is that?” beams Melanie, 38. “For me and my little girl. That’s my life these days and I love it.”

Scarlet is in fact having her afternoon nap when Melanie rings me. It’s breaks like these that she has to make the most of to carry out the business side of her life.

Mel C: ‘Little Mix remind me of the Spice Girls’
Posted on Wednesday, 15 February 2012 by Sebastian

Mel C has claimed that X Factor winners Little Mix remind her of the Spice Girls.

The singer described the ‘Cannonball’ group – comprising Jesy Nelson, Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock – as “absolutely adorable” and suggested that they had recaptured her former band’s “really fun” side.

“I love them,” she said during an appearance on Lorraine. “What I love about these girls is they’ve got fantastic voices, they’re really talented, but they look like young girls. They’re not uber sexy, uber glam, they’re really good positive role models, which we don’t have that many of.

“They remind me of the Spice Girls in that way, because they’re really fun and young and I think that’s what pop music should be about. It’s kind of got a bit too serious and a little bit too sexy at times.”

However, Mel C warned Little Mix not to take their fame for granted.

“My advice to them would be enjoy it, enjoy every minute, because it doesn’t last forever,” she said. “When you’re in the middle of it, you don’t think of the future.

“You get so busy and you can get weighed down with the all pressures – just enjoy it. It’s a fairytale, it’s a dream come true for so many young girls.”

Mel C also confirmed this morning that the Spice Girls will not reunite for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

Speaking to Digital Spy while competing on The X Factor last year, Little Mix said that they would like to become “a modern day Spice Girls”.

“The Spice Girls all had individual personalities and girls can relate to a different one,” Edwards said. “I think they were approachable as a girl group and you wanted to be their friends. That’s what we want to go for.”
