#1 Ginger Spice: Geri Halliwell
Fun facts: Their smash debut single “
Wannabe” was written and recorded in less than an hour. The girls also
co-wrote the song.
Also, they
almost called themselves the Spicy Girls, but nixed that idea when they discovered that there was a porn site by the same name.
#2 Sporty Spice: Mel C
Fun fact: Mel C, Mel B, Geri Halliwell, and Victoria Beckham all
auditioned (separately) for the group in 1993 after seeing a casting call for a girl group in a magazine called The Stage. While they did not audition as a group, they did all know each other, since they were always going to the same auditions.
#3 Baby Spice: Emma Bunton
Fun facts: Bunton was not an
original member of the group; she replaced the original fifth member Michelle Stephenson, who left the group due to an illness in her family and because she wanted to go to college. Also, when Bunton joined the group, they were named Touch.
