In March 1994, advertisements were placed in The Stage newspaper asking: "R U 18-23 with the ability to sing/dance? R U streetwise, ambitious, outgoing and determined?" Hundreds of girls responded to the ads. The applicants were whittled down to a final five which consisted of Melanie C, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Brown, Victoria Adams and Michelle Stephenson, who combined to form an all female group called "Touch." In June, during the group's earliest recording session, Michelle Stephenson was forced to leave due to commitment issues. She was replaced by Abigail Kis and then by Emma Bunton after Bunton's singing tutor had recommended her to the other girls. From this point up to March 1995 the girls lived together in a small house in Maidenhead where they worked on demos and practiced dance routines. After a successful showcase performance for music critics and producers in October, the group decided to fire their original management, who they cited as controlling and too domineering.

Sisters Are Doin It For Themselves Lyrics
Spice Girls
Now there was a time
When we used to say
That behind every great man
There has to be a great woman.
Well, in these times of change
You know that it is no longer true.
So were coming out of the kitchen
cause theres something we forgot to say to you.
We know sisters are doing it for themselves.
Standing on their own two feet,
Ringing on their own bells.
Sisters are doing it for themselves.
Now this is a song to celebrate
The conscious liberation of the female state.
Mother daughters and their daughters too will know
Woman to woman well sing it with you.
Now the inferior sex has got a new exterior.
Weve got doctors, lawyers politicians too
Oh yeah
Everybody take a look around.
Can you see, can you see, can you see?
Theres a woman right next to you.
Whoa yeah!
Sisters are doing it for themselves.
Standing on their own two feet.
Ringing on their own bells
Sisters are doing it for themselves
We aint makin stories
No we aint makin plans
Dont you know that a man
Still loves a woman
And a woman still loves a man
(guitar solo)
Now there was a time (there was a time)
When we used to say (when we used to say)
That behind every great man
There has to be a great woman.
Well, in these times of change
You know that it is no longer true
So were coming out of the kitchen
Cause theres something we forgot to say to you
Sisters are doing it for themselves
Standing on their own two feet.
Ringing on their own bells
Sisters are doing it for themselves
Sisters are doing it for themselves
Were doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it
Sisters are doign it for themselves
All of my sisters, all of my sisters
Sisters are doing it for themselves
