Chanelle\'s Spice Girls show scrapped
 

from heatworld

More bad news for Spice fans this morning – and Chanelle. Plans for the X Factor-style show Wannabe: Spice Girls – where judges (including the Big Brother Posh-a-like) would search for a new Spice tribute band – has been axed due to legal problems from the actual Spice Girls. “It’s true we’ve had to change the format.” a spokesperson for VH1 confirmed. “There are definitely legal discussions with the Spice Girls’ lawyers.” The programme will now just be called Wannabe and instead of a search to find a Spice tribute band, it is now being billed as a show to find “those desperate for one last chance to make it.” Looks like Chanelle might still get on TV after all then…

The Refined idea sounds alot better than the other one.

This is the bulletin Chanelle left on her myspace:

Hey Guys and Gals!!

Ok, so I'm sure some of you are probably aware the show has been a litle, um, "problematic" this week.........Due to miscommunication with the Spice Girls the format of the show has changed slightly.

Instead of us judges scouting the country for a Spice Girls Tribute Band we have gone one step better......We are now scouting the country for a girl band. Yes, a real girl band who will (upon winning) recieve a real record contract.

I don't know about you guys but I'm really pleased about this....as mch as i do (and always will) love worshipand respect the Spice Girls I just feel this is a much more credible project to be working on now.....I hope you all agree?!

Anyway.......Just wanted to fill you all i on the sitaution.

If any of you fancy auditioning there are other dates left (the London auditons have now finished) The remaining auditions are as follows:

Friday 16th November - Leeds
Saturday 17th November - Liverpool

Hope some of you can make it!! Whether your a fab singer, dancer and performer or just a joker up for laugh it'd be great to see you all!!

Besos
