Melaniec.net - Melanie C - Jan 2003
Welcome to Melaniec.net and the first webchat with Melanie since December 2000!
Thanks for all your questions, weve received thousands of them from all over the world. Right now we have Melanie on the line, so lets not waste any more time
Hi everyone, thanks for logging on. Im ready and waiting for all your questions so fire away.
Where are you at the moment?
Kevin Clarke
Im up in Liverpool right now seeing some mates.
Life must be busy at the moment, hows it all going?
Rosario Turchetti
Well its a mixture of excitement and nerves at the
moment. Everything is starting to happen all at once so life is pretty hectic.
Hi Melanie, you've been out of the spotlight for a while so was it scary to
make an appearance at such a big event as the MTV Awards?
Can't wait for 'Reason'!
Helen Manley
I was really nervous at the awards but everyone seemed
so pleased to see me. It was very nice.
Hey Melanie.
Is it true that you co-wrote the song Help Me Help You for Holly Valance?
Genady
Help Me Help You was a song we wrote not specifically
for Holly but she heard it and loved it, so we let her have it!
Hi Melanie,
What's your fave song from 'Reason'? And why?
Lots of Love from Belgium xx
I love Here It Comes Again, it just rocks and its
the first single from Reason. Im very proud of it, I think its a
lovely song.
Hey Melanie
I was wondering how did you go about choosing Here It Comes Again as your first
single off REASON... what is this song about?
afterdark90210
It was really obvious to me that Here It Comes Again would
be great as a first single. It has so much energy. Its a love song, talking
about the feeling of being in love.
Greetings Melanie! I was wondering... do you have any plans to do any festivals
this summer like V2003 or PITP? Good luck with new stuff!
be_free_2001
We havent got any planned at the moment but were
definitely going to.
What has been your favourite video shoot and why?
Paul x
Here It Comes Again because we had to wrap up at 5pm when
the sun went down. They can be so boring!!
What is your fave country to take off and relax in?
Melcforever
I Love Barbados. Its sunny, beautiful and the locals
are really nice.
Hey Mel! How are you gonna arrange your setlist for the tour? Half of Northern
Star and then half of Reason? Or is it purely a Reason tour?
Loadsa Love,
Paulxx
Ill definitely be doing all the old favourites from
Northern Star and most of Reason.
Hello Melanie!
I've got a special love to DVDs and music videos. I was wondering if you are
planning to release your own DVD one day. The fans really want a music videos
collection, as well as a concert on a DVD!
Tamir
I would like to film a live show for DVD but Ill
let you know.
Lately the tabloids have been praising you, your music and your "new"
image. Do you care what they have to say or do you still feel the same way about
them? Hope to see ya live again soon.
Lots of love,
Sam xxx.
It is nice when they say nice stuff but you cant
listen too much. The tide soon turns and theyre being horrible again.
What was so different this time around comparing to the making of "Northern
Star"?
Diogo Branco, Portugal
I was worried I couldnt do it again. But the songs
were so great I knew it would be even better.
Hi Mel, nice to see you're back again.
I have a question for you. There have been rumours about you removing some of
your tattoos, is that true? If so, which tattoo are you removing? Personally
I love your tattoos, and I hope you'll keep them.
Thanks for answering.
Love Maja
I dont know where that rumour came from. I have
no intention of removing any tattoos.
Hi Melanie,
Is writing songs difficult? I've been trying for some time now and am not
getting anywhere. Any suggestions?
Thanks, TJ
Sometimes its really easy and other times its
impossible. The best songs are written when you just let yourself go.
Dearest Mel,
I am a huge fan of yours and the rest of the girls. I'm so excited about the
new album. I was wondering though if it is going to be released in the States
as well. Your last album was and tour (House of Blues, Chicago) was the bomb.
You should push your record label to promote you more and better here in the
U.S. Your music is hot!! Take care and hope you tour the U.S. (especially Chicago),
again Caio,Gonzo
Well thank you. We hope to release the album in the US
later this year. I agree the record company needed a kick up the arse, which
theyve now had!
Hi Melanie
What's the thing that you will never do, no matter what.
irmasporty9
Smoke a ciggy, I think theyre minging!
Melanie, what's the reason for the name of the album being REASON?
Love Renata
Well firstly its a song on the record. And for me
music makes me feel like I have a purpose. Its my reason.
Hi Melanie
What's the challenge to yourself for the second album and why? eg. sales, public,
country....?
Nadia xx
I hope to make records for the rest of my life, its
all I want to do.
Hi Melanie How u doing?
A lot of USA fans have been asking the same question
Will "Here It Comes Again" and "Reason" be released in the
US?
spicegirlsgeri541
The album will definitely be released in the US, just
not sure when yet.
Damian Le Gassick worked on your album this time around. Did the work come
about because of the success and the work he did with the I Turn To You single?
Who approached who? Can we expect more dance tracks this time around?
Sportyraven
I was really please with Damians work on I.T.T.Y
and Pat McCarthy thought hed be great on some new tracks. They sound fab,
hes great.
Hey mel,
i was just wondering if you have been playin guitar at all? and if so, what
kind of guitar[s] do you have?
charly Mulligan
I havent practised for a while, Im very naughty.
I can play a few of my songs very badly. Ive got a few guitars: A Taylor
Semi-Acoustic, a Vintage Martin Acoustic, A Pig Nose and a Fender Strat (given
to us on Spiceworld). Ridiculous I know. My new years resolution is to learn
to play em!
On the next tour will you be using the same band as before ??? and what can
we expect from the new shows ??
sue court
Ive got a new bass player, keyboards, and second
guitar. They sound great, we rock! New songs, old hits and wicked lights.
Hi Melanie,
last year you said you wanted to swim with dolphins, did you do that?
And what's the thing you really want to do this year?
I never got a chance. I still want to do that and learn
to play more stuff on my guitar
and maybe some piano!
Sorry everybody but I've got to go now so thanks very
much for logging on, take care and see you all soon
Love Mel xx
