Firstly, the Spice Girls. When they were around they created this whol 'girl power' thing that alot of people tapped into. That had nothing at all to do with their talent. Now those girls have grown up and moved on. The Spice Girls were not artists they were a phenomenon. It had nothing to do with their talent.

So do you think that 40 years of sustained records sales, critical acclaim and numerous awards is down to an artist being in the right place at the right time? Really? Surely talent had something to do with it?

I also dont understand the argument that older artists were popular because they had more of the market. Surely now they have less of the market and the modern day need for marketing and advertising their popularity would diminish?

In these modern time an artist can jump on a bandwagon to attain success but surely not 30 years of success. Surely that takes a bit of talent?
