[MintTrav]

Objection - Emma Bunton was not an original member of The Spice Girls.

[MintTrav]

I've just had a look at Wiki. I knew she wasn't an original member of the group, but it seems that they changed their name from Touch to the Spice Girls subsequent to her joining, so although she wasn't an original member of the group, she was there when the Spice Girls name came into being. It's up to you, David, but I'll withdraw my objection.

[Ironside]

farce keith duffy is ace

[dwh103]

Loose acceptance of Victoria Beckham imo. No woman under this name was an original member of the Spice Girls...

Objection : Willow is a group of trees, not a specific species.

Unlike White willow which is a fantastic answer.
