[edit] Discussion

Neither of the external links seems appropriate — the first one is still under construction, and the second one is a Portuguese-language-based Yahoo group. TheGoblin 23:23, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

The first link is now active, even if the web design is not for the visually impared... the second link still seems inappropriate. TheGoblin 22:37, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] POV

I have made some major revisions to the article to remove POV slanted content, and lots of speculative original research. The article still needs some serious citations for a lot of claims that seem to have no general basis. Pacian 20:41, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Musical career

Maybe it's a wikipedia thing, but for a regular reader, starting the career section with "At the height of the Spice Girls' success" looks a bit weird. Surely she did something before she reached that point?

Actually it is the truth. Melanie Started out musically in the Spice Girls (before that she was in dancing school) and when they were at the height of their fame she first ventured solo with "Word up" and "I want you back". By the time her solo album came out (2000) the girls fame was waning and in question. So thats technically the truth of it. user:The Ginger one


Her 2005's album L.A. State of Mind had a regualr relase just in the Uk and it hasn't chrted in <>. The only single 'TODAY' had a UK release only too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.208.83.249 (talk) 09:39, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Scary Spice

I was under the impression that the Spice Girls' nicknames wer a marketing tool and not assigned by the media. at any rate theres no source for that information, shouldn't there be? 134.83.1.233 12:07, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

According to their biographies (Melanie B, Victoria, and Geri have all written at least one biography) the Top of the Pops mag gave them the nicknames and they just kinda 'stuck'. They eventually started playing into it always saying "Oh Posh you dont have your black dress on!" "Oh Baby where's your pigtails?" user: The Ginger one

Yes, they were given them by Top of the Pops magazine. Although Geri's was Sexy Spice, and that somehow changed to Ginger Spice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.22.43.114 (talk) 12:17, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

2006 Love Thy neighbor- As Lonnie

This is not to be found on imbd. Is this really happening?Zigzig20s 09:39, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] picture

is there a good pic of her that we could put over all of the personal info? Slyj18 16:24, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fortuna Daphne Bay

is NOT the baby's name. Please stop putting it up there. She hasn't even picked a name yet. *YaHeard* 12:32, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Baby's real name

The baby's real name is Angel Iris Murphy Brown and it's from the new OK! magazine interview and photoshoot. So if someone could please change it, it would be nice. Thanks. SoWhut april 24, 2007. 10:58 PM —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.3.20.130 (talk) 02:57, 25 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Mel's Lover.

Please stop putting it on the page 'bout Mel having a female lover. Mel said nothing in the interview expect for the "I will always love Eddie" thing, but that was probably taken from the interview she had with OK! magazine. But what is being put up there is not her interview nor has she said any of that. It's just gossip so please stop putting it on there. Thanks ListenTaWhutISay

I removed it again and someone removed my posts on here. Now please stop putting it on there. We don't need rumours and gossip. BabysOnlyG

Can some please removed the thing about Mel having a female lover? It's not an interview given by her. It's only gossip and rumours so it has no place on this page. Holler2004

The report is sourced and no one has put forward any real suggestion that it is false. Mel is not the only source for her information on her life. "Gossip" is means whatever someone doesn't want talked about (I discuss, you speculate, he gossips). Mel herself said people can call her lesbian, bisexual, or heterosexual. She doesn't seem to get too overheated about the subject. JenAW 18:54, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Nevertheless, one or two flings does not make her bisexual. I'm removing the LGBT musicians cat again until and unless she self-identifies as lesbian or bisexual. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 14:32, 31 May 2007 (UTC)


Someone keeps putting it up there. Wether it's true, or not it shouldn't be up there unless Mel states it herself. If that's going to be put up there might as well put up everything the papers print about her. holler2004


I took it down. Hopefully they won't put it back up. Like you said, if their going to keep putting that up they might as well put up everything the papers write about her. SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 14:32, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

Honestly, that picture is terrible. It would be better if there were no picture at all.



I think the picture is good. It should stay up there so there is at least one on the page. (Scary4Eva 03:54, 19 June 2007 (UTC)Scary4Eva)

[edit] DNA results

People magazine is saying it's official he's the father. Here's the page if anyone wants to put it up. [2] (Scary4Eva 04:47, 23 June 2007 (UTC)Scary4Eva)

[edit] Mel B gets married

I'm not sure how to add this in , but People.com magazine has reported that Melanie B got married. Here's the link to it : [3]

I added it at the bottom of the Personal Life section. More details can be added as info becomes available. Ariadne55 03:49, 9 August 2007 (UTC)


[edit] External Links

sorry, but the majority of the external links on this site are not official or endorsed by Melanie Brown in any way. her Official Website is located at http://www.melaniebrown.com

the other sites listed and linked are either fan sites or squatters trying to ransom her various domain names. if possible, it would be great if a moderator could remove the false external links and replace with the official link.

[edit] future plans needs updating

can someone move the Dancing with the Stars entry. it's written as hearsay in the future plans section, but it has actually happened and is CURRENT.

not sure where it should go, as it's not 'acting'. 194.221.133.211 09:41, 26 September 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Rumors crap

I have the May issue of Blender in my hand. No such item in there about Melanie (or any for that matter). There is also no NY Post mention of a 'Queen of Sheba' title. If that were the case wouldnt it be real simple like to link a ref since both sources have comphrensive websites?

Someone (same person from Denden I suspect) keeps adding this bologna and getting fans hopes up. Could we watch it a little more closely?--Maggiedane (talk) 23:52, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
