Favourite Solo Songs from Spice Girls' Members

Spice Girls is arguably the ultimate girl group in the 90's. It was a very successful group with multiple hits songs and beloved by fans worldwide. Eventhough the members had since gone separate ways, each one of them had released several solo singles and albums of their own. Their solo songs might not be as popular as their songs as a group but they are some genuinely good songs nevertheless. So for this post, I will list my favourite solo songs from each members of the group. All of my favourite songs from them are old songs so if you are a fan of them from the beginning, these songs might bring nostalgic feelings for you. But if you haven't heard any of the songs before, then feel free to take a listen, you might actually like them.


Mel B @ Scary Spice: Tell Me

Mel B has been active with TV projects in recent years. She had her own reality show, she had participated in Dancing with the Stars, and had been involved as judge or coach/mentor in a lot of TV competition shows like The X Factor UK, America's Got Talent and The Voice Kids. She had released quite a few hits in her early solo career like "I Want You Back" with Missy Elliot, and the cover version of Cameo's "Word Up!". She has not been active in the music industry for awhile though with her last single being the 2013 song "For Once in My Life". My favourite solo song from Mel B is still "Tell Me" from her debut album, Hot. It's a nice, pop song that might not really standout among its contemporaries but still, I like it.

What to watch? ~ 2016 movies: February

At first I thought I don't want to do this "What to Watch" type of post anymore because I want to focus on movie reviews and other stuffs like manga, books and video games, but then I thought maybe it's good for me to continue doing this since I like to keep track on movie release schedule anyway. So here we are again.

Before I begin, I need to put a note here and say that the release dates here (and for the subsequent monthly posts of "What to Watch") are mostly based on the US release dates unless otherwise stated.

So now let's take a look at some of the movies that will be released in February that look pretty interesting.


1) Hail, Caesar!

Release date: February 5, 2016
Cast: Josh Brolin, George Clooney, Scarlett Johansson, Ralph Fiennes, Alden Ehrenreich, Jonah Hill, Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand, Channing Tatum, Alison Pill.

This looks like a fun movie and with an ensemble cast like that it should be interesting to watch. It is set in 1950's Hollywood though, and movies set in that era usually don't perform well in the Asian region, at least from what I can see from my own country. We'll see how this movie does when it opens in cinemas.

2) Misconduct

Release date: February 5, 2016
Cast: Josh Duhamel, Anthony Hopkins, Al Pacino, Malin Akerman, Julia Stiles, Alice Eve.

This movie will be released in limited release and also through video on demand in the US on the same day. Some might say it's a brilliant move seeing how small films like this usually open small in cinemas anyway, but they got Al Pacino and Anthony Hopkins in the movie so I think the studio should at least have some faith in it and let it run in cinemas for a few week before release it on the small screen. I might watch this for Malin Akerman though, she's quite underrated as an actress if you asked me. But it seems she just play a small role here so...hhmm...let me think this through....
