Live from Abu Dhabi Connect the World takes you on a journey across continents, investigating the stories that are changing our world.
It’s been more than 15 years since the world met Ginger, Baby, Posh, Sporty and Scary, but the Girl Power legacy lives on in epic proportions.
As the best-selling female group of all time, the Spice Girls set the bar for future girl bands around the world. They became global icons in a way few musicians every have.
Melanie Brown rose to fame as one fifth of the legendary group. Known to fans as Scary Spice or just Mel B, Brown was infamous for her wild hair and all-out dance moves.
Following the Spice Girls' breakup, she went on to pursue a solo singing career and now has a reality show with her husband entitled “It’s a Scary World."
Dear Mel,
In this times when pop singers (will not mention the name of a specific Grammy-winner blonde) write love songs depicting women as fragile beings in need of men, how–if at all–do you see the legacy of the Spice Girls, in particular the idea of "Girl Power," still alive in pop culture?
And, do you see a generation difference in the embracing of such a "Girl Power" attitude?
Much love,
Laura

Does it not shock you that you're still "relevant" given all the talent you have?
Did you ever use auto tune during the Return of the Spice Girls Tour?
Mel B: "You are known to having been very honest and genuine in everything you said or did. Where do you get this authenticity from and how do you maintain your honesty and candid view of life in the face of so many expectations of you being a Spice Girl"
Being the star of a reality tv show do you ever feel like you have no privacy? How do your children feel about it?
Hi Mel, will you be releasing Lip Lock? And if so, when?
Hello Mel B and CNN friends,
I would like an answer from Mel B on the following questions:
– When can we all enjoy the New Spice Girl Album?
– How will you as a Spice Girl Improve or Spice Up the lives of girls and teenmothers, who are living under the Proverty line?
I am awaiting Mel B's replies.
Greetings,

Mel B, Is there any hope that the Spice girls would regroup for another album soon?
Hi Mel,
After watching your reality show "Its a Scary World", all of your fans around the world are wondering when are you going to release your new song "Lip Lock" featuring Ludacris. We are waiting for a release date to be confirmed and some news about the album.

We had you in our country several months ago. What bring you to my country and should we expect a visit from you in the near future?
The song 'Two Become One' was released in spanish as 'Seremos Uno Los Dos' Do yo have any plans to include an Spanish song in your future album? Now.. being realistic.. the Spice Girls as a group were a world wide hit, any chance to repeat the boom that you guys made? Thanks 4 the last tour by the way... fans around the globe are still waiting for a DVD.
Hi Mel!!!
I'm from Brazil!! Love U so much!! Just wanna know something about your music! Just can't wait!! Is Lip Lock the new single? Release it please!!!
I'd like to ask Mel B, why the reality show? Celebs are often asking for privacy, so why allowing cameras into your private life? Is it because it's a more 'controlled' environment??
Thanks!
