CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: The Spice Girls were formed in 1994 after Heart Management held auditions to create a girl group to compete with popular British boy bands. The group was originally envisioned to comprise "five strikingly different girls" who would each appeal to a different audience. The group initially practiced songs written by Bob Herbert's associates, but these songs were never used by the Spice Girls because they were aimed at a very young audience. The group felt insecure without an official contract, which led them to seek a showcase performance that resulted in a major label deal. The Spice Girls, frustrated with their management, allegedly stole the master recordings of their music from Heart Management before leaving. They then tracked down a songwriter from the showcase and began recording demos for their debut album.
