Victoria is the Spice Girl that hasn't changed much; she's still a fashion icon. Victoria Adams, now Beckham is the girl that's stereo-typed the most, especially music wise. "People tend to think I have no personality, and that I have no sense of humor, but any of the girls can tell you that that's not true. Music-wise, it's the same thing. In 'Spice' and 'SpiceWorld', I really didn't prove myself with the solo parts, mainly because I didn't have too many, but I do have talent and that's why I'm here." Victoria has defenitely proved the critics wrong with both 'Forever' and her debut self-titled album. Her voice may not be the strongest, but she does have an undeniable talent and passion for music. Victoria was the the only girl that was well-off before the Spice Girls. Her family was rich and Victoria still remembers how hard things were at school because of that. "I remember when my dad used to drive me to school in his Rolls Royce," she laughs, "very elegant, but a bit exaggerated." Because she had so much money, some girls envied her and gave her a hard time at school, making it harder for Victoria to expand her social skills. "I was really quiet because I didn't want to come on too strong to anyone. I didn't want to feel too dominant." She took dance and music classes in school, and was defenitely not shy when it came to that. Nowadays, Victoria is doing better than ever. She is married to soccer champion David Beckham, and has a child, Brooklyn. She is also expecting another child! She says her upcoming child will not interfere with her music career. Back to Top

Victoria Beckham is the third Spice Girl to write an autobiography. Starting when she was on tour she began to write a lot in a journal becuase she new that the SpiceWorld tour would be a life changing experience. The book is all about her life starting from when she was a little child deciding that she wanted to be a star.
Here is a preview of what her book is like. This is part of Chapter 2, entitled, "A Girl With A Dream":
Girl With A Dream
'I'm going to be the richest, best-known and most beautiful model in the world.' No, not me - I never wanted to be a model, all that standing around being told what to do. It's what Jerry Hall is supposed to have told her mother when she was fourteen. But at least she probably looked the part, whereas when I said a similar thing to my mum I was a skinny, sallow-faced eight-year-old, with pigtails and a gap in my teeth big enough for a pea to get stuck in.
But what did that matter? I was a girl with a dream. It all started when my mum took me and my sister to see Fame, the Alan Parker film about the Manhattan school for performing arts. It was 1982 and I was eight and a quarter.
Sitting there in the dark was like being in a cartoon and a light bulb going on in my head. Suddenly I knew what I wanted to do — just like that — I wanted to be Coco, who not only danced like no one I had ever seen before, but looked fantastic, with wild frizzy hair and sang as if she would explode — 'I'm gonna live for ever, I'm gonna learn how to fly! High!'
'Mummy,' I said as we drove back home.
'Yes, Victoria.'
'Can I go there?'
'Where?'
'That school.'
'No, you can't.'
'Please, Mummy.'
'No.'
'Why not?'
'Because it's in New York.' Back to Top
