Ed Ranks the Spice Girls

Is this ranking what you really, really want?

Hey! It's the Spice Girls! Let's rank them!

5. Baby - Emma Bunton is the generic blonde of the Spice Girls. Whatever. She was also the last hired (she replaced someone named Abigail Kis, who in turn replaced someone named Michelle Stephenson). She's like the Ringo Starr of the Spice Girls. Sorry, I just call it like I see it.

4. Ginger - I'll admit that the Union Jack Dress was pretty awesome. Everyone was crazy about Geri Halliwell back in the day. Everyone thought she was the hottest and the sexiest and the best. She obviously thought it herself, because her definition of "Girl Power" quickly devolved when she abandoned the others to launch a own solo career.

3. Sporty - Mel C is, as her name implies, exactly one grade behind Mel B.

2. Scary - Mel B could almost be #1 in this ranking, but she falls just short. She's certainly gone on to have a pretty impressive career after the Spice Girls (probably the most impressive, with appearances in dozens of TV competition shows as a presenter or judge). Does having a kid with Eddie Murphy also count as a career attribute?

1. Posh

I'm not going to lie to you, Victoria Beckham might have been the musically least talented of the Spice Girls. Just re-watch one of the old music videos, and see her always hidden in the back and sitting at the kids table when it was time to sing. But let's not pretend that she wasn't the hottest, nor that upgrading from Victoria Adams to Victoria BECKHAM was the ultimate upgrade. She has had a pretty good career as a TV presenter/judge herself, and has also become a notable fashion designer. Not that I care about fashion. I just like really like Posh. NUMBER ONE!
