Melanie Janine Brown (born 29 May 1975) is an English pop singer-songwriter, actress, author and television presenter. She is best known as one of the members of the girl group the Spice Girls.[3] She was given the nickname "Scary Spice" by the British media because of her outrageous, "in-your-face" attitude, thick Leeds accent, throaty laugh and manner of dress.Brown was born in Harehills, and grew up in Burley, Leeds, West Yorkshire. She has a younger sister named Danielle who is an actress. She studied performing arts at Intake High School, in Leeds, before entering the entertainment industry. For a time she worked as a dancer in the holiday resort, Blackpool, Lancashire. After seeing an advertisement for an audition in a newspaper, Brown started her music career in a band known as Touch. The group left the original management team and eventually teamed up with music manager Simon Fuller. In this pairing, she and the other girls became known as the Spice Girls. After the group achieved worldwide success, she embarked on a solo music career in 1998.Her first solo album, Hot, produced by Virgin Records, was a moderate success, including a number one hit. However, it did not sell or chart very well. In 2005, she released a second solo album which did not attract much attention.
In 1996 Brown, along with Melanie Chisholm, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, and Victoria Beckham (at that time Victoria Adams), shot to fame as a member of the Spice Girls with the release of "Wannabe". The debut album, Spice, shot to number one all over the globe, including the U.S.. Mel B was called Scary Spice because of her animal print clothing, big hair, loud Leeds accent, throaty laugh, and aggressive attitude. The Spice Girls were popular in the late 1990s, selling over thirty-five million albums in just two years. They went on to become one of the best-selling girl groups of all time, selling more than fifty-five million records worldwide.

is white and her father is from the Carribean island of
Nevis. In her childhood, she danced and played the drums
(she still carries her drumsticks wherever she goes). She
got in a lot of trouble because of her "in your face"

last name.]

From Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me soundtrack
Alright, lets just go for it
Come on baby
Yeah
Owww...

All pretty ladies around the world
Got a weird thing to show you
So tell all the boys and girls
Tell your brother, your sister and your mama too
Cause we're about to go down
And you know just what to do
Wave your hands in the air like you don't care
Fly by the people as they stop to look and stare
Do your dance, do your dance
Do your dance quick
Come on baby, tell me whats the word
Word up, everybody say
When you hear the call you've got to get it underway
Word up, it's the code word
No matter where you say it
You know that you'll be heard

Now all you sucker DJs who think you're fly
There's got to be a reason
And we know the reason why
You try to put on those airs and act real cool
But you got to realize that you're acting like fools
If there's music we can use it
We're free to dance
We don't have no time for psycological romance
No romance, no romance
No romance for me
Mama, come on baby tell me whats the word
Word up, everybody say
When you hear the call you've got to get it underway
Word up, it's the code word
No matter where you say it
You know that you'll be heard

3. TELL ME
What made you think I would be fooled
I now see through you
And you 're the fool
Tell me
How do you feel when you see me
And I disregard you
There's someone new
And they're true
I can't believe I was so blind I didn't see
That you couldn't be the type of man to meet my needs
Strangest thing is everyone tried to tell me
But I did what they told me not to
You nearly had my everything, by running game on me
You told me all I had to hear I thought love was finally here
But then one day the truth I'd see your game was incomplete
Cos when I realised the truth
I see your plan, you're not my man so get from under my roof - I don't want you
What made you think I would be fooled
I now see through you - yes I do
And you 're the fool
Tell me
How do you feel when you see me
And I disregard you
There's someone new
And they're true
It was the saddest thing I thought there was no help for me
Cos you made me think I wasn't worth anything
Now I see you didn't have no self esteem
And all you loved was Mel B's money
You nearly had my everything by running game on me
You told me all I had to hear I thought love was finally here
But then one day the truth I'd see your game was incomplete
Cos when I realised the truth
I see your plan, you're not my man so get from under my roof
What made you think I would be fooled
I now see through you - I can see through you
And you 're the fool - you're the fool, baby, you're the fool
Tell me
How do you feel when you see me
And I disregard you - and I turn my head around
There's someone new - and they're so true
What made you, made you, think I would be fooled - think I would be fooled
I now see through you, I can, and you're the fool, you are, you are
How do you feel when you see me
And I disregard you and there's someone new, and they're true
You nearly had my everything, by running game on me
You lied to me, why did you lie to me
But then one day the truth it seems your game was incomplete
I found out the truth
I see your plan, you're not my man so get from under my roof - I don't want you
What made you think I would be fooled
I now see through you - I'm glad I saw through you
And you 're the fool
Tell me, Tell me
How do you feel when you see me
And I disregard you
There's someone new - and they're so true
What made you think I would be fooled
I now see through you
And you 're the fool
Tell me
How do you feel when you see me
And I disregard you
There's someone new and they're true

Understand you and I are not alone
Feeling real normality

Believe in me when I say
Everyone can keep away

Lovin' you, lovin' you is the easy part
Never know, never know what to do with it
Me and you, me and you keepin it tight

Two of a kind will always be
Ever after happily
Feelin free, you and me
No one can touch us now
That is how it's got to be
With each passing day, we grow stronger still
Like the after taste of a bitter pill
Keep the hurt and pain far away from me
Warm me in your glow of sunny ecstacy
Ladies holla if you hear me (oh yeah)
Fellas holla if you feel me (oh yeah)
Everybody can you see me (oh yeah)

7. SWEET PLEASURE
I'm physically, dramatically, undeniably
Attracted to you, did you hear?
So profoundly, thoroughly visibly
Attracted to you, did you hear?
The way you hold your keys, your coffee cup
Even the tempo of your walk
The way your tattoos lay upon your skin
Even the tempo of your thought
Sweet pleasure
Sweet pleasure
Bring it on, bring it on, on, on, on, on
Sweet pleasure
Let me lose myself in your embrace
Sweet pleasure
Bring it on, bring it on, bring it home
You satisfy, gratify
Turn all my, world downside up
You're so colorful, natural
Keep giving me a bellyful of your love
The way you feed, glide, breeze across me
In the softness of your stare
To clarify, you make my
Senses naked, my soul bare
Sweet pleasure
Sweet pleasure
Bring it on, bring it on, on, on, on, on
Sweet pleasure
How i feel for you i can't explain
Sweet pleasure
Bring it on, bring it on, bring it home
Bring it on, bring it on, (bring it on) on, on, on, on
Bring it on, bring it on, (bring it on) on, on, on, on
I'm captured by your whisper
Into a mind field of love
Into danger
Into us
Sweet pleasure
Sweet pleasure
Bring it on, bring it on, on, on, on, on
Sweet pleasure
How i feel for you i can't explain
Sweet pleasure
Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on

8. IN TOO DEEP
I'm rushing
From the moment I wake till the last drop-off light
And I'm rushing
Through people and traffic, it's my city ride
Then I see your face
And my head is lost
Just one look and my whole world stops
In too deep
I'll be yours to keep
Just let me in
I'll stay a while
Maybe you'll see me in time
Stranger of mine
I wonder
Would you turn to me if I asked you your name
And I wonder
Is your timing like mine and if your life's the same
I imagine sometimes
That I'm right here with you
When I see your face my whole world stops
In too deep
I'll be yours to keep
Just let me in
I'll stay a while
Maybe you'll see me in time
Stranger of mine
Stranger of mine
Am I invisible, too emotional
Should I walk away, hold my breath and stay
If this feeling's not real tell me why, am I
In too deep
I'll be yours to keep
Just let me in
I'll stay a while
Maybe you'll see me in time
Stranger of mine
Just let me in
I'll stay a while
Maybe you'll see me in time
Stranger of mine
In too deep (stranger of mine)
Yours to keep (stranger of mine)
In too deep (stranger of mine)
Yours to keep
In too deep
Yours to keep

10. GREATEST LOVE OF ALL
[Originally performed by Whitney Houston]
(Melanie B's song for which she sang to audition for the Spice Girls)
I believe that children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I will live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
And I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I will live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
And if by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love

11. HOLD ON
As we travel through life the seasons change
But the truth remains the same always
So pause for a second take a breath and maybe then you'll understand
It's ok to feel helpless and ask the questions why
It's all part of the tapestry so don't give up your fight
Hold on hold on
To what you believe in
So come on, hold on hold on
You know you can do it
If you hold, hold on
No-one knows what tomorrow brings
So try and live life here and now in your way
Throughout all your struggle and pain
Remember those times are not in vain
It's ok to feel sadness
Things, they will all work out
Nobody said it was easy, no
Trust in who you are now
Hold on hold on
To what you believe in
So come on, hold on hold on
You know you can do it
The power's within you
Freedom to win, hold on
There is always so much more to life
Rise above and stand strong
There you'll find the light you're searching for
The place you belong
Hold on hold on
To what you believe in
Hold on hold on
You know you can do it
You know the power's within you
Freedom to win - if you hold, hold on
