[edit] Removed text

I have removed the "and why she calls her husband 'Golden Balls'!" part as it jars with the last paragraph (the whole of which is marginal in its relevance anyway). It looks like just a bad joke. If there is any relevant factual basis to this then it can go back in by all means. Mat-C 22:08, 17 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] POV pushing

victoria beckham fans seem to have hijacked this page... a really poor entry, full of pov and poor syntax etc. it reads like a Hello! profile of her, not an encyclopaedia entry. but i guess i'm being stupid to expect more... i am pretty dim, i spent ages editing it... *shame* --172.212.21.52 02:20, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

see, now look at the britney spears page.. that's fucking amazing! --172.212.21.52 02:26, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Question of "commercial failure"

This entry confuses me: "Despite being one of the most well-known celebrities in Britain, and having all her music reach the top ten (the only solo spice to do so), Victoria Beckham's career as a solo artist is largely considered to have been a commercial failure. The only Spice Girl not to have had a UK number one single as a solo artist." So she's the only Spice Girl to reach the top ten, but she's also the only Spice Girl not to reach the number one spot??

It says ALL her music has reached the top ten. But none has gotten to No.1

[edit] Corey Haim

On Corey Haim's Wikipedia page, it claims he dated Victoria Beckham. Is this true?

It's true, she mentioned it in her autobiography. They dated casually when the Spice Girls first started then dumped him because he was a psycho drunk.

[edit] Ethnicity and religion

User:70.108.194.42 apparently would like some information on Ms. Beckham's ethnicity and religion, or those of her parents, to be added to the article. --Lph 18:42, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

I've heard it reported that she in interested in the Kaballah faith, although I don't know if she has a Jewish background?

[edit] Victoria's Years Active

User:Thegingerone This is a pet peeve of mine. Victoria made solo music from 2000-2003. She was a Spice Girl 1996-2000 and she has been a 'celebrity' and fashion designer from 2004-present. So what should we list her as? Logical thought is that box is about music and this being her page and not the Spice Girl's I feel its proper to say 2000-2003. She has said shes NOT making more music unless it was another performance with the Spice Girls. Some of her material has leaked but its not 'released'. So PLEASE quit changing it.

[edit] what ws that dress

can someone please tlel me which dress it was that victoria wears by that reaallly famous designer.. the dress is meant ot make you look really good.. it's really famous.

Um I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but she wore an amazing green-turquoise-blue Cavalli (a close personal friend) gown to the Swarovfski Fashion Rocks for The Prince's Trust either this or last year (2005 or 2006). I also read that she's commissioned him (Cavalli) to dress her for every red-carpet event she goes to.

please reply on my talk page! --Rushda2 15:51, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unreleased songs

I've just deleted the following song titles: "Me And You This Time", "Resentment", "That Dude", "Valentine".

They were in The Real Beckhams DVD, therefore officially released.

I changed the wording for the 2006 leaks. It just seemed so wordy. I added a 'Real Beckhams' part because I guess technically thats true. They werent really released yet they werent 'leaked' either. Also I removed the 'remixes' because that just cant be said (I believe you put that up on the paragraph about the leaks). We have never heard the 'original' or 'single' or 'album' versions of any of these songs; we havent heard the Ebay mixes and all we can say is these songs are the only leaked copies. They didnt have the word 'remix' in the title so we really cant say that. For now their just the only mix we have. [user:Thegingerone]

Released means issuing a product for sale or public showing, and they were in The Real Beckhams DVD. They weren't released as individual singles or as parts of an album, but they are available for sale. Just like B-sides. I didn't put the paragraph about the leaks. The owner of the original eBay CD have listened to the eleven songs recently leaked and confirmed that they are, in fact, remixes.

[edit] Get Ready (Featuring Maishyla)

Get Ready (Featuring Maishyla) does not have anything to do with Victoria whatsoever. It was just a song that a fan posted in forum, the usual "This sounds like Victoria, do you think it might be her?" 220.101.147.249 16:30, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
