À propos de cet audio
An intimate memoir from international pop star Melanie Chisholm—better known as Mel C. or Sporty Spice—chronicling her trajectory from small-town girl to overnight icon as part of the Spice Girls.
25 years ago, The Spice Girls, a girl band that began after five women answered an ad in the paper, released their first single. 'Wannabe' became a hit and from that moment and, almost overnight, Melanie Chisholm went from small town girl to Sporty Spice, part of one of the biggest music groups in history.
Beginning in her bedroom in the north-west of England dreaming of performing on stage, THE SPORTY ONE follows the meteoric rise of the Melanie and The Spice Girls, from the incredible highs of becoming one of the world’s most recognizable popstars–playing at Wembley, conquering the BRITs, closing the Olympics–to the difficult lows. For the first time ever, Melanie talks about the pressures of fame, the shaming and bullying she experienced, the struggles she has had with her body image and mental health, and the difficulty of finding yourself when the whole world knows your name.
THE SPORTY ONE is an incredible story of resilience, hope and how you can find your power.

Histoire
A few years ago, David Alvarez had it all: a six-figure book deal, a loving boyfriend, and an exciting writing career. His debut novel was a resounding success, which made the publication of his second book—a total flop—all the more devastating. Now, David is single, lonely, and desperately trying to come up with the next great idea for his third manuscript, one that will redeem him in the eyes of readers, reviewers, the entire publishing world…and maybe even his ex-boyfriend.

When Andrew McCarthy's eldest son began to take his first steps into adulthood, McCarthy found himself wishing time would slow down. Looking to create a more meaningful connection with Sam before he fled the nest, as well as recreate his own life-altering journey decades before, McCarthy decided the two of them should set out on a trek like few others: 500 miles across Spain's Camino de Santiago. Over the course of the journey, the pair traversed an unforgiving landscape, having more honest conversations in five weeks than they'd had in the preceding two decades.

A self-described orphan with parents, Bobby Hall began life as Sir Robert Bryson Hall II, the only child of an alcoholic, mentally ill mother on welfare and an absent, crack-addicted father. After enduring 17 years of abuse and neglect, Bobby ran away from home and - with nothing more than a discarded laptop and a ninth-grade education - he found his voice in the world of hip-hop and a new home in a place he never expected: the untamed and uncharted wilderness of the social media age. In the message boards and livestreams of this brave new world, Bobby became Logic.

"Unvarnished. Funny. Leaving no stone unturned"...So say the publishers about this audiobook I've written. What I say is that this is the story of my life, told as clear as a Texas sky and in the same rhythm that I lived it. It's a story of restlessness and the purity of the moment and living right. Of my childhood in Abbott, Texas, to the Pacific Northwest, from Nashville to Hawaii, and all the way back again. Of selling vacuum cleaners and encyclopedias while hosting radio shows and writing song after song, hoping to strike gold.

Welcome to the summer of 1985 in Philadelphia, when the city was rocked—in almost every sense of the word—by two unprecedented events: Mayor W. Wilson Goode’s May 13 decision to bomb the headquarters of MOVE, a controversial Philadelphia-based radical communal organization, and the July 13 Live Aid concert, where international rock royalty convened in Philly to raise money for victims of the Ethiopian famine. Separated by just two months and eight miles, these events would showcase both the best and the worst of the so-called City of Brotherly Love.

In 2010, Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger released a photo-sharing app called Instagram, with one simple but irresistible feature: It would make anything you captured look more beautiful. The cofounders cultivated a community of photographers and artisans around the app, and it quickly went mainstream. In less than two years, it caught Facebook’s attention: Mark Zuckerberg bought the company for a historic one billion dollars when Instagram had only 13 employees.

Loved it
It was pretty cool listening to Mel C going in deep with her life. I’ve always been a Spice girls fan and I knew a lot about them but she provided me with the behind the scenes. You would see her perform on tv but she really lets u know how she really felt all these times in this book. I highly recommend this.

I never wanted to stop listening!
This book... wow! Amazing. It's beautiful, impactful, inspiring, insightful, and leaves you in awe. Since the release of Northern Star, Melanie C has been my Northern Star. It's taken me from the release of this book to now to have the courage to read this book. I'm glad I decided to listen instead. I was scared of being too triggered because of my demons, that I kept putting it off. I'm so thankful that I finished this, that just as Melanie hoped for, I feel less alone. This is a new favourite for me and highly recommend it. "When you're lost reach out for me. and you'll see she's not far. Northern Star."

It was GREAT hearing Melanie's voice while she told her story. All the stories and background that you didn't really know were happening. The pros and cons to success was great to listen to. A very relatable point of view even with her stardom. Highly recommended for the Spice Girls/Mel C fans

Fantastic!
An excellent listen!
Mel C's voice is perfect for reading her own story. She takes you through her childhood, and ties that into her journey as a Spice Girl and how those impacted each other.
I was not someone who followed the Spice Girls, or any celebrities really, but I did really enjoy their music, so it was really nice to get an overarching look at how that started, dispelling some myths (if you weren't paying attention back then, like me), and speaking to how important it is to find and prioritize yourself.
Well done, Melanie!
