About Sharon Shaffer Expertise I can answer just about anything, if not I will try to research and ask around to get the answer
Experience As a young girl in the 6th grade, I had fallen victim of the Spice Girls after I heard other people talking about them. Once I bought the CD, I listened to Wannabe over and over and over again. But later I realized that there were other tracks on the CD and listened to them as well. I started buying magazines and learning about them and collecting merchandise. It all turned into a obsession and has now become a collection of which I am very proud of. I taught myself their dances that they used when they performed.
Question Would you be able to tell me what effect you think the spice girls have had on youth culture i.e their dress sense, lyrics etc. What are your personal views of them and who do you think has been most successful?
thanks v.much

Answer In the US, the Spice Girls hit it huge when I was in the 7th grade. There were girls walking around school dressed up as each Spice Girl, and there would be people singing Wannabe but after they released SpiceWorld, everyone looked at them as a joke. My personal views are that they have broken so many boundries b/c they were a girl band and I think people liked them b/c you had different spices, kinda like different flavors to choose from. They were one of the most successful groups of all time and hopefully we'll be getting a greatest hits soon! I don't know who was the most successful. They've all had their flops and they've all had their success, so it's quite hard to pick which one. I would say that Melanie B was the biggest flop while Melanie C or Geri were the most successful after the Spice Girls. I hope that answers all of your questions and feel free to ask more!
