The Spice Girls Appreciation Thread
It's amazing when you think back on what they achieved and in such a short space of time.
Take a look at this. I think it doesn't really do it all justice but it's a good indication.

I loved the Spice Girls (and still do love them)!!! The tour last year was awesome - I was right at the front of the catwalk and the whole thing is like a blur cuz I was just so amazed and couldn't believe how close I was!!

They were a brand at best representing everything wrong with the industry. Most of the music hasn't aged well hardly ever played on the radio these days. Though I like the odd one I guess
![]() I went to a recording of the Des 'O Conner show at the end of 1997 when they sacked their manager (because they were stupid talentless fools) Geri kept swearing and they had too keep redoing parts. Victoria still had the label on the bottom of her shoes...... Though to be fair looking back they were a dam sight better than the awful pop around at the time. |

I loved them, and i still do
![]() Although i felt their reunion ended a bit sour. They were let down by really bad planning and a team who didn't have a clue what they were doing. Ditching there tour and disappointing fans across the world wasn't a good move. And then they don't even release a DVD Don't get me started on Headlines. I remember that when their comeback was announced Mel B said they had loads of unreleased tracks to share with us... i'm still waiting. Headlines and Voodoo were shit!I saw them at the o2 though and they were brilliant

The reunion was a big success apart from Headlines only hitting 11, Geri, Mel B and Emma are always getting great press infact. However as the person above said the tour ended too soon and we never got the DVD of it. So they did let fans down. |

![]() I have their Spice album and their Greatest Hits. I think Spice was an underrated album really, even though there's only 10 songs on it the ones that weren't released as singles are quite good. I did love them back in the day though

I used to love the Spice Girls as a child and still secretly do. I would love another reunion down the line as i missed out on the last tour. Never Give Up On The Good Times was my favourite song
Im also looking forward to some of the new solo stuff. |

I LOVE the Spice Girls! I use present tense because I'm nearly 30, have loved them since I was a teenager and probably won't ever stop loving them. The tour was fantastic, and I really hope they get back together again in the future.
Mel B I think is keen on a future Spice reunion |

I would love a reunion...BUT with time taken on the album itself....i think it will be interesting....have always loved Mel C writinv and her vocals!
She has her next album out this year and she said in this weeks Q mag that a Sg reunion could be still on the cards but her next album will come first and then we will see.....i want it to happen! Take That style, with a massive album with interesting songs! |

Definitely and a potential for people to fall back in love with the phenomenon. Had high hopes for their reunion and really wanted it to be for them what it was for Take That. So keeping my fingers crossed that the Musical could pave the way to a second (proper) reunion
![]() i think the difference with the two groups, is the spice girls don't really need the money. they cleaned up the first time around. if the musical is successful it may be the final nail in the coffin. |

Didn't know you could do this![]() And you might be right there. they keep talking of doing something together soon again but the truth of the matter is the more time they take before getting back together the more improbable a 'true' Spice Girls reunion as making a new album and going on tour - will be

Don't get me started on Headlines. I remember that when their comeback was announced Mel B said they had loads of unreleased tracks to share with us... i'm still waiting. Headlines and Voodoo were shit!
