The two girls seem to have differing views on whether Geri should accept their Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music. Mel C said: "I firmly believe that she should be up there with us. But there's five girls, y'know, who have to make that decision. And that's just, y'know, that's just my opinion," Emma however said: "Obviously, the five of us were in the Spice Girls but we have sort of moved on. And we did an American tour and, y'know, we've done another single and had a Christmas No.1. So I think we have moved on now and become a four piece." When Melanie was told what Emma said on the show, Mel said: "We haven't even talked about it. We're just having a laugh rehearsing for The Brits. Geri is not really something that we talk about because we've got our own lives and we're not obsessed like the British tabloids are." 24th February 2000 | Posted by: SpiceNews >> Mel C & Geri Together On T4 Melanie C and former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell will appear together on Channel 4's (UK) show T4.

Left-Eye from TLC which is featured on the song remixed it almost immediately after it was finished however it included swear words and Melanie didn't see them fit in the song so she demanded Left-Eye make a new mix which Left-Eye wasn't happy about doing. Perhaps this explains why they seemed to be on bad terms for a while during the fall. ::Rumour Warning:: Thanks to David K. 19th February 2000 | Posted by: SpiceNews >> NBTSA Single Cover Here is a picture of the cover for Melanie C's upcoming single "Never Be The Same Again" will be released on March 6th in the UK.

She's been very successful with the album, you know, so obviously people like her stuff, so good luck to her. It's nice to see two Spice Girls there.
