That's not true. Most of their songs are uplifting and empowering which is a form of substance, their ballads ("Mama", "2 Become 1", "Too Much", "Viva Forever", "Goodbye") are pretty meaningful/beautifully written + they spearheaded the girl power, independant women motto.

Their images may have been exaggeration of who they truly were (and, even then, seeing the journey of Geri, Mel B and Victoria, shows there's a reality to these characters they portrayed).
No girl groups went as far into marketing themselves as literal products but still, their musical output and shattering success can't be discarded just like that. They even had their own succesful movie at their peak, no other female groups ever got that much in demand.

The logic here is flimsy though. It doesn’t matter what the reason is, so long as it’s happening. We could say, “The only reason the orange can roll off the table is because it’s round.” Well it still can roll off the table can it not?

Dismissing reality doesn't change reality.

They are like the Britney Spears of the girl group world. Just because they were popular does not make them the greatest.

This is true.

Spice Girls are forgotten and T(L)C is somewhere paying their rent with stolen money from fans who donated to their Kickstarter campaign

I think Kelly is talking about talent, voices, harmonies and relevance, since 2000 they're the #1 female group in the world and they still been.
