Music video

The video for Tell Me was directed by Nigel Dick. The video starts with Melanie B putting a CD into a CD-player. As the music starts she walks down an alley and a crowd gathers and they all do a synchronized dance as the first chorus comes on. As the video progresses, it shows Melanie in many different settings. When the song starts to fade Melanie is seen sitting where the first dance took place staring off-camera.
