Melanie C - I Want Candy
I just heard it on one of the music channels. It's weird. I don't know what to think of it.
I thought she was trying to move away from a pop sound and into a more indie/rock sound. The video also kind of reminds of Rachel Stevens 'So Good'. Maybe it was just the outfit she was wearing... Any opinions? |

I've just seen the trailer for the film it comes from - looks quite funny.
The song though is a bit dodgy. What's with her fringe in the video? |

Saw her on the Al Murray show - Christ she looked old. But I guess she must actually be 35 ish?

Her birthday is on 12th Jan 1974 so she is actually 33! A good guess lol. I heard somewhere else that she is doing well in Asia. Aargh she is so annoying why wont she shut up singing this tosh and reunite with the Spice Girls its the best she is going to get at the moment IMHO!

This is the link to watch the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZN1ZIHaSEQ&eurl= By the awy this is a song that they asked her to sing...it's the soundtrack of a comedy movie...it's meant to be funny and camp! Later melanies's releases will be different for sure! Personally I absolutely adore this video! she looks so good, styled up (finally!) and the video editing, the choreography, the dancers... absolutely fabulous! probably one of her best videos ever! |

This is actually worse than Geri Halliwell's dire "Ride It". And Mel C thinks her solo career is too good for the Spice Girls? I saw this video last night and couldn't stop laughing. Terrible.

I really like this song, it is really catchy. Also I really like the video, it's nice to see her do some dancing and it's brightly coloured- it looks wicked.
Melanie does have a good career, she is very big in Europe and has a lot of fans in the UK as well. |

I like it. But that's more to do with it being a good song than Mel C making a particularly good job of it.

She's chosen the easy option of a cover song, but even then it still isn't that great. I don't think her solo 'career' is as big as she believes.

Yes she has had success in Europe last year with her 3rd solo album Beautiful Intentions... Especially with the #1 hit First Day Of My Life which sold an excess of 400K copies only in Germany...
here are more videos... FIRST DAY OF MY LIFE - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY-PK7xRAoY HOME Live - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iK8KuiMZZEk HERE IT COMES AGAIN - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXhpbcDzGOk Last edited by Brooklyn983 : 05-03-2007 at 11:23. |
