VIDEO: Melanie C - Dear Life and Anymore

Melanie C may have been be part of the world's most successful girl band the Spice Girls, but did you know she has been producing her own albums since 1999 and has just released her sixth studio album, 'Version of Me'

For 20 year's Melanie C has been one of the UK's most successful female artists, constantly evolving her own brand of music and changing her appearance. While many of her contemporaries would have just retired from making music, having made their millions, Melanie C has continued to do the very thing she loves - make music and perform those tracks live.

Back in 1996 we knew her as Sporty Spice, with track suits and high kicks ....... 20 year's later and Melanie C is still as fit as ever, if her social media feeds and photo shoots are anything to go by. The mother of one has shown how to balance celebrity life with a healthy lifestyle that is the envy of most women in their 40's.

 Rock Me baby, Rock Me baby, Rock Me baby

Chorus:
Rock Me baby, Rock me better into the beat
You make me wanna throw my hands into the air, air, air
Rock Me baby, Rock me take me over
Come on let’s go everybody throw your hands in the air, air, air

Waiting, for you
will you do, what I want you?
Beautiful fever, taking me, deeper
I lose myself, in myself
I’ll meet you there, in another world
Hear the crowd, feel the drums
Here we go, come on, come on

Chorus:
Stronger, deeper, music, set me free
Beating, faster, music, remedy

Snapshots
Speed of sound,in my head
Spinning round, levitate of the ground
Gettin’ up, gettin’ down
Let me see you jump now

Chorus:
Stronger, deeper, music, set me free
Beating, faster, music, remedy

Rock Me baby, Rock Me e baby, Rock Me (in the air)
Rock Me baby, Rock Me e baby, Rock Me (get up)
Rock Meeeeeeeee, Rock Meeeeeeeee
Rock Meeeeeeeee, Rock Meeeeeeeee

Chorus:
Stronger, deeper, music, set me free
Beating, faster, music, remedy

Rock me baby

Picture: Mel C and Scarlet

Mel C has released a picture with her new baby daughter, Scarlet. As seen on on her website and MySpace page, the official photograph shows a very happy Melanie C with her new arrival. Proceeds from the sale of the picture will be given to charity.

Mel C Gives Birth To A Baby Girl

Melanie C has given birth to a healthy baby girl, reports confirm that Sporty Spice delivered her first child in hospital at 4.10pm on Sunday.

The new arrival weighted in at 8lb and 3oz and has been named Scarlet Starr, according to the official statement on Melanie C's website.

The former Spice Girl had decided to wait until the birth to find out the sex of the baby. She is the last Spice Girl to become a mother, after Emma Bunton gave birth to Beau in August 2007.

Mel C lives in Wales with her long term boyfriend Thomas Starr. Fans of Melanie C have been ecstatic with the news and have been leaving messages congratulating the new parents on DenDen.

Mel C Shows Baby Bump On Al Murray Show

Mel C showed off her 'baby bump' during an interview on ITV's 'Al Murray's Happy Hour' tonight (Friday 3rd October). Melanie is the last Spice Girl to become a mother, but has no regrets about waiting until she was 34 years old.

Taking about the other Spice Girls motherhood, she said, " they're all mums and they're all really good mums actually." When asked if the baby is a boy or a girl, Melanie C told Al Murray, "I don't know and I don't want to know."

Mel C also spoke about the Spice Girls reunion and said that initially she didn't want to do it but "now I've done it - it was amazing and I'm really glad I did." Claims about how much the Spice Girls made from their reunion tour were exaggerated, "it wasn't what they said in the papers, by a long stretch."

Melanie C will be performing an acoustic gig at Manchester's Hard Rock Cafe on Thursday 9th October to help raise money for breast cancer research. The full Al Murray interview will be shown on ITV at 10pm tonight.

Spice Girls: Tour Ends This Month

Mel C is leaving the Spice Girls at the end of the month according to The Sun today. The newspaper claims Sporty Spice has had enough of touring with the Spice Girls and has pulled plans to visit Australia, China, South Africa and Argentina as part of "The Return of the Spice Girls" world tour. Meanwhile the rest of the girls commitments means the tour must end this month.

Read the full story HERE.

The official Spice Girls website made this statement today:

"......Due to the phenomenal demand for tickets in the UK and the US along with the touring logistics for such a massive production it was not possible to fit everything in. As the girls return to normal family life and the kids go back to school they are reviewing all the options, who knows what the future might bring!

The girls said: “We’ve had such an amazing time over the last 3 months. It’s been incredible being back together and seeing our fans again. We want to thank everyone who came to see us. It was all so mad the first time round, so we’ve really been able to appreciate it properly this time. There have been so many highlights and good times that we know it will be hard to be apart after Toronto. Really sorry if we didn’t get to see you this time round. We all have other commitments in our lives now but who knows what will happen next."

Fans have reacted angrily across Australasia at the breaking news , which has shocked many. The "Greatest Hits" album went to #1 in Australia when it was released before Christmas and now fans feel betrayed because the shows will not now take place. Spice Girls fans vented their anger on a popular forum, saying the Spice Girls had only reformed for money and not for the fans.

Spice Girls In Concert - O2 Pictures

Going to see the Spice Girls after all these years, was a dream come true for me. They were the only group I'd really ever wanted to see and this weekend it became a reality as "The Return of the Spice Girls" Tour hit the UK. Who would have thought the Spice Girls would ever tour again? Seeing them perform on stage for two nights was fantastic, at times it was hard to believe that the five women on stage were indeed THE Spice Girls.

The crowds really got into the spirit of the occasion and were cheering from start to finish and it was rather interesting how loud they became every time Posh sang her lines. Maybe it is because she has the highest profile but it was all very spontaneous and added to the night. Below are a selection of pictures from the weekend, you can see about 120 over in my Facebook profile.
