Hiya,

Just want to share what Mel B did at the "Chicago" stage door the other night that blew me away -- in a good way! She proved to me that, while people are debating her "professionalism" over her last performance, she's a true "theater person" at heart.

Let me know what you think! Any other crazy stage doors lately?

"Let me know what you think!"

 

Personally, I think you should write what you want us to read in the body of your post and stop with the clickbait.

I agree with trp--I refuse to read it.

I'll save everyone else the click: the stage door was crowded, OP's friend was overwhelmed, Mel B saw the friend was overwhelmed, asked the friend "are you ok?" and took a photo with her. Then there are filler paragraphs, ncluding name dropping Hamilton twice in an article called "Spice Girl spreads sweetness at Broadway stage door."

Also, I heard she's giving the worst performance ever on a Broadway stage.

Y'all know you do have the option of not clicking on a post you have no interest in, right? Or clicking the back button on your browser when you realize the content of the post has somehow let you down or if saying "here's the gist of what happened, if you'd care to read more, read on" is somehow bothersome. The best part? If there's a post that collectively gets no interest, it drifts down the page when no one responds.

I know it's much more fun to make snide or "witty" comments, though, and I'd never want to begrudge you the enjoyment it brings, but just putting those two options on the table.

Also, it was Hamilton once. Ham4Ham once. Mel B blew me away at  Thanks for reading! Those "filler paragraphs" are also known as opinions, in a column. Would be glad to discuss with you if any of them struck your fancy or you disagreed with the conclusions drawn.

Also, I'd beg to differ that she was (her last show was Sunday) giving the "worst performance ever." Having seen it, there's far more worthy candidates there, IMHO.

Shame on us for suggesting you treat this as an actual discussion board instead of a "use it to drive traffic to my blog board".

Thanks! I think (as with anything) all too often we hear about the negative experiences, some complaints warranted and others not. I think it's good when we can shine a light on some of the positives, too.

I definitely saw her yell at a teenage girl with cat ears "JUST TAKE THE PICTURE" as she was asking Mel B if she could take a photo with her and then nervously trying to find the camera. She then walked away rolling her eyes and sighing as she entered her car from the crowd. I mean yes Mel B is not obligated to stage door but it definitely did not seem like she enjoyed it lol
