[edit] First single Spice Girls

The article says "The group's first single was called "Touch", and she worked with Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown and Melanie Chisholm. " and then "In 1996, the group's first single, "Wannabe", went to Number 1 in the UK and US." So was "Touch" or "Wannabe" their first single? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.97.197.129 (talk) 09:45, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

A year overdue, but "Wannabe" was the very first single from SG. Fixing that. Dasani 18:00, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

[edit] What is her ethnicity?

What is Victoria Beckham's ethnicity or racial origin? 86.178.224.255 (talk) 21:39, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

White British, I believe. Jim Michael (talk) 01:36, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
Are you sure your belief is correct? She looks more Portuguese, Spanish or maybe Gypsy, but White? I can accept Baby Spice and Ginger Spice are White British, but Victoria? 86.178.74.6 (talk) 19:44, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
Whatever it is, we need to find reliable sources to support any reference to ethnicity. --BwB (talk) 19:46, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
"White British", such as it is used at all, doesn't have to refer to blonde, ghostly-skinned people. Plenty of people of Beckham's complexion are of White British Heritage, and the idea of being able to discern an "ethnicity" just by looking at photos of someone is faintly ridiculous. This discussion topic has the whiff of racism about it, and frankly it's irrelevant anyway. She was born in Britain, her parents are British, if there is any other ethnicity in her ancestry it's not likely to be notable. EJBH (talk) 21:30, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
But it is not just the skin-colour. Her face, nose, jaw, eyes, etc are not White features. There is nothing racist about the question. Why should anyone be ashamed of who they are genetically? If people are more receptive to race and racial differences, instead of hiding in a closet and live in denial, the world would be a more tolerant and less racist place. For example the world has become more tolerant and understanding of gay people after gays came out of the closet. 86.182.38.143 (talk) 01:55, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
  • You really take seriously the skin-colour & features of a woman who has access to more cosmetic processes than yer average punter? By that argument, David Dickinson is descended from a Spacehopper. I shall say this only once: it does not matter. I'll repeat, and you seem to support this above: it does not matter. If you've seen the relevant edition of QI, we are all descended from Charlemagne, so we are all French. Is that what you intend to imply? I do not think so. Leave it be please, it's a non-argument.

What does not matter? 86.178.161.196 (talk) 01:49, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

  • She is not white, and not white british. She have clearly some other ancestry. And I disagree the she looks spanish, she is not white mediterranean. --Santista1982 (talk) 10:39, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

"Adams" is an English surname, so perhaps her mother has some other ancestry, but Victoria should still be considered white, since her husband and father are both White British, as far as I know. Estheroliver (talk) 01:29, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Having an english surname doesn't making nobody white. How many blacks have english surname? Also if her husband is white (he is jew not white) doesn't make her white. She clear non white ancestrors. She is not white. --Santista1982 (talk) 19:42, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
Doesn't matter. The point is, it's totally irrelevant to the article. BTW, if David is really Jew, he is still white. It's like saying, "But he's Japanese. He isn't Asian." Well, guess what? Japanese people are still Asian. And I think the reason why the poster said "other ancestry" is because so far it's been hinted she is Spaniard or Italian or something, Meditterean is still considered white. If she really is mixed with African American or Middle Eastern it wouldn't count because her nationality is British. 75.4.254.20 (talk) 18:19, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
I've always thought she was a mixed heritage of afican-american or middle eastern, lol.

She looks like an alien to me, but I see no evidence that she is a non-white alien. Lots of white Europeans have weird pointy faces. There is no argument here and no evidence, so just drop it. Paul B (talk) 18:03, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Top 10 Singles
