scary spice — Page 3

The reason I post in here was because some members in this forum were writing false info about Mel B which wasnt true so I just wanted to correct them and give them the real information. The other reason I post in this board is because its a scary spice topic afterall so I think i'm allowed to post in here. I also dont think you have to be a broadway fan to post here, just my opinion. There's no rules that state "if your not a fan then you can't post in here."

Oh hell, let's just cut to the chase and ask MelB4ever if she recognizes any of the following names: Julie Harris, Philip Bosco, Vanessa Redgrave...

And plus, I am on record as having enjoyed Spice World. So, no Spice Basher, I. Who can forget Jennifer Saunders super-delectable cameo? "Look! I'm talking to a Spice Girl! (sneer)"

MelB4ever...your posts are insulting. The reason we post here is because we love theatre and because we love Broadway. Yeah, most of us will go see shows for our favorite actors/actresses, but that isn't why we are interested in theatre in the first place. The fact that you went to RENT, was BORED because Melanie wasn't there, and are now seeing it again just to *once again* attempt to see her in it, that is insulting to people who respect theatre for what it is and not the pop stars that invade it every so often. If you can't see the beauty in theatre fine, but don't waste your time posting on a BROADWAY website about your "pop idol" if you have no respect for what we all love and talk about.

And don't flame me for being nasty, folks...this is probably the meanest thing I've ever posted and it could've been a LOT worse...

"We may not be as knowledgeable about musicals as some of you yet, but it doesn't mean that you should ridicule someone's starting interest towards it."

When did MelB ever show signs of a "starting interest?" She was BORED.

Well, not everyone is going to see the beauty of theatre, as I said. But for God's sake this is a BROADWAY board!!!

Agree completely with everything Type_a_tiff said.

I do think it's good for people who wouldn't normally be interested in theatre to discover they like it, no matter how it happened. If JasonX went to RENT for Mel B and discovered that he really likes theatre, that's great.

But considering this is a Broadway board and the people on it are here to talk about theatre, joining just to gush about Mel B when you really have no respect or admiration for the theatre is going to piss some people off...me, for example.

OY VEY! i always try to not make a contoversy on these posts and be very "diplomatic" with the things i say. but now its just to far. posting to defend mel b? bored of RENT? Unless you are a personal friend of MelB how do u know how if she is or isnt diva?People are reporting from others they know about how she acts how she is performing etc. Just because she was nice to you when you met her doesnt mean a thing. - this goes for all actors/actresses. I dunno sounds kinda stalker-ish to me. You can stalk her all you want, pay $90 tickets to see her in RENT every night of the week. (More money for Bway right?) But if you have no interest in the theatre at all dont post your thoughts on a BROADWAY message board. Keep your commments to your Spice Girls message board. - if they are any left.

Sry if that was mean. But enough is enough

^ LOL. Gosh, I think if it wasn't the OBC, I wouldn't pay $90 for Rent. Oy. The official website (siteforrent.com) even tells you 2 different ways you can buy advanced tickets and save almost 50%!

And I agree - it's one thing to come to the defense of a performer to defend their talent but unless someone's a personal acquaintance, it's really impossible to say for sure that someone is "really nice". It's kind of naive, IMHO.

Who is Farrah Fawcett or Uta Hagen? Never heard of them.

But J-Lo would be a mean Mimi.

*Guffaw*

The only reason I went to yesterdays show was because of Mel B, too bad she wasnt there yesterday, I hope everything will turn out ok by Monday. The show wasnt bad but I was still bored cause Melanie wasnt there. Mel B is my idol and thats why I went to see RENT. I was really disappointed and of course I spend $90 for ticket. I still think she's a great person and what tabloids write is all bull****.

Oh PLEASE. You went there JUST to see Mel B? And sorry to burst your bubble, but the 'tabloids' are most likely right. I saw her last night when a friend and I were passing the theatre, and she looked awful. NOT friendly at all, whatsoever, and she looked completeley wiped out. I am dreading what her presence will do to this show.

*Edited* Here, see what you think of her. Though I wouldn't really mind your opinion, seeing you're not a theatre person. http://melanie-c.org/spicebeats.html Sounds too horrible to be true. I'd even prefer Krystal over her.

"I say you should at least get a chance to talk to her before you make such judgements or at least go SEE THE DAMN play before you make such accusations. Otherwise shut your hole."

Right. That last part made sense, about seeing the show before judging her.

But why on EARTH should we talk to Mel B? If she gives a god-awful peformance then she could be the sweetest gal in the world and it wouldn't change my opinion of her acting ability.

One thing to remember, folks:

NICENESS AND TALENT
are not connected!!

You spent NINETY DOLLARS? In a word, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Maybe MelB can call you up and sing "Out Tonight" over the phone to cheer you up!!!!! After her throat deflames.

very funny... NOT, all i can say is grow up.

actually, no. that was really funny.
The other thing is---yes, maybe you had a nice little meeting with Ms. Mel B and you think she's the nicest person in the whole world. But remember...just because she was nice for that amount of time does not make her a nice person. I'm not saying she's not. Trust me, I have no experience with her and really have no opinion on the matter. I'm just stating the possibilities and the facts.
And maybe YOU should grow up. Um...the Spice Girls? I, too am a fan of the movie...it rocked my world...in MIDDLE SCHOOL. That was ages ago and they're no longer an established group so if you're going to post about them, i think most of us would appreciate it if you did it on someone elses' time, not ours. This board (no I don't own it so don't send that crap my way) is meant for Broadway fans who give a crap about the shows for what they are, not for the former-pop stars that are unfortunately brought in to boost ticket sales. I'm sorry, but I'm just telling you the truth and the facts. Next time someone wants to post about Mel B without crediting the show for what it's worth, i suggest you take it to the off-topic board or another one altogether. thanks.
