Mel C’s recent appearance on Drag Race UK vs The World has sent Twitter literally *wild*. During her stint as a guest judge, she wasted no time in coming for fellow Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, and she went in hard. When critiquing drag queen Baga Chipz’ performance on the show, Sporty Spice insinuated that she was a better lip syncer than Posh Spice. Awkward.
The singer said: “Baga, I think you completely embody the humour of British drag and I love that. You are giving me lots of Spice Girl inspiration tonight. You lip-synced badly, but when you were performing, I was like, there’s a resemblance. Posh Spice! But you know what? Your vocals are much better!”
And Mel’s savage comments didn’t go unnoticed as fans headed to Twitter to voice their opinions, with some branding her as “Shady Spice.” One fan wrote: “Mel C came for Victoria Beckham hard and they kept it in the edit? Omg #DragRaceUKvsTheWorld”, while another was quick to comment with “The shade of Mel C to Victoria!! Omg!! #DragRaceUK”.
After watching Blu Hydranga’s cheerleader performance, in which she had two puppets attached to her to mimic her moves, Mel C decided she had an idea for the next Spice Girls tour. She said: “That’s a way of keeping Geri in time. We should do that next time we go out!”
The remark comes after Mel C teased that a full Spice Girls reunion could take place as soon as “the world allows.” She spoke to Lorraine (via the Daily Mail) earlier this year, and admitted that they “constantly talk about” reuniting. That and how Victoria would “love to do Glastonbury.”
Count us in.
