Spice Up Your Life.

Spice Girls - Giving You Everything Part 1 (see the rest on youtube).

Tonight we pay homage to one of the top selling bands of all time: The Spice Girls!  What is it about this group that made them so amazing?  They catered to everyone!  Baby Spice, Ginger Spice, Sporty Spice, Posh Spice and Scary Spice, no matter what every woman found a way to fit in somewhere.  The lifespan of the Spice Girls is something to this day fans would sell a kidney for just to see a reunion tour.  But how did they become this crazy mega pop sensation? What reeled people into loving platform shoes and peace signs?

Honestly, even after watching their documentary on youtube, I don't have much of an answer and I think that's what is fantastic.  Here is a pop singing sensation that is about one thing, "Girl Power".  No one knew when they first started to preach their message if they were going to fail or make it, and these days the odds of making it are about as slim as the space between peanut butter and jelly on a sandwich... nonexistent.  Yet, the cosmos came together and poored in just the right combination of things to equal TA-DA! Success!

I feel like if there was a way to figure out the exact combinations though, then advertising wouldn't be nearly as fun or exciting.  Having that risk of failure is something not everyone on this planet can handle, and while I'm sure the Big Man Upstairs would like a guarantee of a profit, the risk of failure definitely allows for growth in a person and a company.

Here's to the Spice Girls, to their success and GIRL POWER!
