8 January 2025 - Melanie C - I Don't Know How to Love Him

Many of you are wondering - wait, this blog was completely dead, and now you're posting two in one day?

A few of you are wondering why the hell I'm posting Sporty Spice. 

Because, guys, this is Sporty Spice.  The best Spice.  I will die on that hill.  

Now, this 2012 performance (for Red Nose Day, I believe) got mixed reviews, mostly on wardrobe.  Mary Magdelene should be dressed more modestly - but I give it a positive one.  She sang the hell out of the song, and sincerely paid attention to the tone shift as the song goes on.   Note the 3:00 minute part when she takes off her makeup. 

Also, it was a rock opera in 2012, not a post-hippie musical from 1971, so settle down, people.  

Also, "I've had so many men before, in very many ways" is literally a line in the song. Modestly?  Modestly?! 


Lest you think this was a one-off.

It wasn't.  She was part of a television show called Superstar that was tasked with casting Jesus in a 2012 revival, and she played the part in a touring version of the show for more than a year. The song was legit a Top 20 hit on the UK Indie Chart!

This was a big deal. 

Here is her original performance from Superstar
