In a recent interview, All Saints star Melanie Blatt has openly addressed her longstanding rivalry with the Spice Girls. Blatt, who appeared on the BBC's new documentary "Girlbands Forever," expressed frustration that All Saints had worked hard for years, only for the "manufactured" Spice Girls to "blow up so quickly."
Blatt acknowledged that some fans have accused her of coming across as "bitter" over the Spice Girls' success. "I am," she admitted, laughing. "I am bitter. I'm bitter and I'm jealous." The 50-year-old singer went on to explain that while she has a close friendship with Spice Girl Emma Bunton, she has had issues with the Spice Girls' commercial approach, saying, "It was more the concept of having music and selling crisps and lollipops and stuff like that that I had a problem with."
Despite the ongoing rivalry, Blatt praised Mel C as "amazing" and said she'll "have beef until I die with them." The All Saints singer's candid comments have reignited the long-simmering feud between the two iconic '90s girl groups.
