Spice Girls Share BTS Video of Original Auditions for 30th Anniversary

To commemorate three decades of “girl power,” the Spice Girls took fans back to where it all began.

“Today marks the 30th anniversary of the very first Spice Girls auditions!” read a post shared via the band’s official X account on Monday, March 4.

The group — Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisolm and Victoria Beckham — began back in 1994 when Heart Management held auditions for a girl group to compete with the British boy bands of the mid-90s and went on to “spice up” the music world with the release of “Wannabe” in 1996.

To honor the milestone anniversary, the Spice Girls shared footage of their original auditions. The montage shows Bunton, 48, Halliwell, 51, Brown, 48, Chisholm, 50, and Beckham, 49, as wide-eyed dreamers in the early days before they adopted the monikers of Baby Spice, Ginger Spice, Scary Spice, Sporty Spice and Posh Spice.
