outside the u.k., most people don’t know that “baby spice” emma bunton forged a career after the spices scattered (bless ‘em!). she actually had a string of modest hits, several of which were quite listenable.
her latest career move, however, astounds me. you see, miss bunton has been starring on a reality-television series called strictly come dancing (promo shot pictured), which is incidentally the origin of the u.s. version, dancing with the stars. i know they love high camp on the sceptred isle, but i really don’t see this as a way to rise above it all.
to top it off, emma’s new single is a cover of classic 60s anthem “downtown.” she predictably hasn’t improved upon the original, but apparently the proceeds are going to charity… so at least there’s something positive going on there.
at least she’s got a recurring role on ab fab, which almost makes it all better. regardless, i hope she doesn’t continue down this path. i don’t want to put her on notice.
