Melanie C (also known as Melanie Jayne Chisholm, Melanie Chisholm, or Mel C) was born 12 January 1974 in Whiston, Merseyside. She is an English singer-songwriter and one of the most successful British female vocalists of the last decade. Deftly described by the Sunday Times as “brilliant”, with 3 million solo album sales, 6 Top 10 singles and over 200 combined weeks on the UK chart, she has co-written 11 UK Number 1s - more than any other female artist independently or as part of a duo, quartet or quintet.
Melanie started her music career in 1996 as one fifth of the world’s biggest girl group, the Spice Girls. During their reign of the 1990s, the girls scored nine number 1 singles in the UK, sold over 40 million albums worldwide and made their distinctive mark on pop culture. By 2000, that figure rose to 53 million and preceded the groups’ eventual disbandment as well as Melanie’s burgeoning solo career.
Embracing a new creative direction, her first solo endeavour was the Bryan Adams duet ‘When You’re Gone’, which reached the UK Top 3 and became a huge European hit. Setting the tone for her first ever debut solo album, ‘Northern Star’ followed in 1999 and peaked at Number 4. Spawning 2 Number 1 singles, it was certified triple platinum in the United Kingdom, Gold in Australia and platinum in Europe.
Her second solo album, the Top 5 hit ‘Reason’, followed in March 2003. Containing tracks produced by former New Radicals frontman Gregg Alexander and Marius De Vries (Madonna, Rufus Wainright), it boasted a vibrant, coesive sound of increasing musical maturity and rapidly went Gold after the lead Top Ten single ‘Here It Comes Again’.

Almost forgot. Looks like critics loved her performance on «Blood Brothers». No single bad review. Well, no wonder, she plays Mrs. Jonestone great. New album promised to be "big rock numbers". 2010 is gonna be good year, huh?

I want «Blood Brothers» DVD with Melanie so bad. Maybe they'll guess to record at least one of performances and then release. I'd buy it.

She performed ITTY, WYG and "I love rock n roll" on Pinktober. She looked absolutely fabulous.

I think you can say "she's talented singer" without using this "spice-" prefix now. That would be quite fair after 10 years of her own solo career.

Saw Melanie on stage last Sunday at the Royal Albert Hall, performing amongts some real rock legends in the name of charity, people who have been in the business for 20-30-40+ years and she stood proud amongst them. Her voice was as good a match as any of them there. She really does have talent and star presence on stage.
