The four girls all contributed massively to the group, whilst posh ...well she was kind of the pointless one in the group the entire time. She never sang much, and who needs a snob in the group anyway.

I think they should rejoin and release an album as a foursome.

VB is a good designer and should stick to that.

[gpk]

its funny really, because victoria was never a favourite of mine in the spice girls. people mainly considered her more talented than geri, but i always thought victoria had the weakest voice. victoria probably had the whole package though in terms of her dancing ability, but it was generally them two that were considered the least talented. however, it was victoria that has grabbed all the attention yesterday, albeit for the wrong reasons, but it certainly raised awareness for their musical and all she really did was stand there looking aloof as usual.

the thing is, what worked about the spice girls was the five individual characters that came together and yet seemed so different. sure, many cynics may suggest that the whole thing was dreamt up by simon fuller, but it doesn't really explain how they were put together by completely different team and how jumped ship to find better management.

so on that basis and considering what we know about how they fared as a four piece before. i don't think its a good idea.

[occy]

No they shouldn't

[mushymanrob]

shes should be re-named 'surley spice' the miserable faced bint!

[buttercup891]

oh god i cannot stand her. If she's posh then i'm the bloody queen. She has a hideously non existant desperado personality written all over her expressionless 'i refuse to smile' face. I honeslty couldn't stand her then, still think she's pointless. Sorry to be mean, but vacuous is the word for her. Her choice of husband (Mr charisma) is perfect for her. haha

[Zone_Out]

No the slice girls will and always will be 5 of them!
Although posh ain't my fave I kind of admire her considering how much she gets slated she's never let it stop her doing anything and letting it hold her back.

[WhisperingGhost]

After her attitude yesterday I should say yes, but it just wouldn't work imo.

[Mallaha]

It wouldn't be the Spice Girls without Victoria standing off to the side doing not much, apart from an occasional awkward hip wiggle.

[glyn9799]

The Spice Girls are one of those rare groups where there is no main focus. Each of the girls were an equal 5th and should one of them be missing it just wouldn't work. It was never the same after Geri left.

VB might not do much, but she is still an integral part of the group.

This.

The Spice Girls is a five girl deal.

4 of them whether it was minus Geri or minus Posh.. it's just tragic.

Melanie C is my choice by far Emma looked Ok but the rest are not friends they don't go to events together they are just ending the whole spice storey vb didn't want to be there Geri is busy talking incase someone brings up why she left the group I can't see the point in going to see a show that does not feature the group

[Lewish1992]

I'd rather Melanie C continued her solo career and kept playing sweaty little intimate gigs tbh, she rocked Concorde 2 in Brighton.

[madiain28]

Given the last single bombed and their greatest hits although hit No2 in the Uk and1 in Australia failed to make an impact worldwide. Also Forever album failed stateside and worldwide didnt hit the top spots along with the singles. I think they want to remain remembered for being the phenonomen they were in the 90's. Rather than reforming and flopping. Also there songs were really catchy candy floss for the teen girl market. But as they grew and tried to have more contemporary material it just never worked for them as that's not what the Spicegirl's were about.
Whilst I think The musical will be an instant success for nostalgic reasons I don't think it's going to have the longevity of Mama Mia. Bands part ways for reasons and the fact is they all wanted to move in different directions musically whilst some had mediocre success to start none had longevity. Mel C certainly had the talent and still continues to work on her solo career and whilst she doesn't set the charts on fire she us well respected and has a loyal fan base.
I do agree that Posh is just awful both musically and that face miserable is an understatement. Obviously too busy worrying what David's up to and she can't just keep pushing out babies to keep him.

[ddegroodt]

I don't think reforming is their biggest priority, they're all clearly enjoying what they are doing now, and seem to be having a better career than ever before solo-wise.

In terms of Victoria, she's always been the odd one out and I can imagine she was quite bewildered by all the attention, but her not being part of the group, wouldn't feel right, just like any of the others are unmissable. As a foursome wherever they'd go, the 'Posh Is missing' issue would always overshadow.

Plus looking at the pictures, it's not just Victoria which looks the odd one out, you can tell that the girls are not being used to being together, they've portrayed themselves as five strong individual women.

Just my two cents.

[Nyota]

I don't know why people are picking on Victoria because I thought they all looked awkward at that photoshoot, Even the ones who were smiling didn't strike me as being genuine at all when it came to wanting to be together.

I think the Spice Girls were a product of their time and that their time has now passed. I think some things should be left alone to be remembered fondly rather than constantly trying to recreate a magic that just isn't there anymore.

[plankwalker]

They are not reforming, just coming together to launch what they hope will be a long running money maker. They won't be taking part once the initial need for rubber stamping is gone. Posh of the lot seems the most uncomfortable, she is rather stuck with her more recent highly sucessful marketing image (no smiles please) which makes it worse for her to relax into theme.

Oh God, some of you people are so bloody rude! Victoria's always been slightly cold in public. She's also rarely interviewed on film, meaning all you see of her is in these stern photographs. But anybody who has seen her on TV (or reading her Twitter account, which is hilarious) knows that she always pokes fun at herself and has a really strong sense of humour.

They all looked a bit uncomfortable yesterday (especially Mel B, who kept weirdly touching everything like a bored child, whether it was Mel C's hair or Geri's dress), but whenever Victoria spoke she sounded eloquent and genuinely pleased to be there.

As for reforming without her, the Spice Girls only worked as a five-piece. They all served an important part, regardless of their individual musical talent, and it just wouldn't work if they went ahead without Victoria. I also don't think they're arrogant or deluded enough to think they could just reform without all the original members. They've learned from the past not to do that again.

Have you ever heard of full stops and commas?

[icanboogie]

A Spice Girls reunion in a four piece incarnation would be okay with me.

However, from seeing Victoria at the musical launch yesterday it's clear that she is really not interested in anything Spice related and so for me I feel that my yearnings for Spice reunions can finally be put to bed.

[jackbell]

Reform and then what? Tour? Record? Pfft. Done that.

It was nice to see them together but their time has passed. I think the musical is the last word and it would be sad to spoil it by trying to start it up again again. Their last record was poor.

[Josh Pinder]

cannot wait to see the musical i would so so so love to see it sounds fantastic...brings back the nostalgia.

Mel C and geri were my absolute favourites growing up with them...LOVE their solo album material too!

But i hated the group as a 4 piece tbh, that album wasnt the same without geri there.....so without Posh most definitely it wont be the same if they were to reform.

But look at the headlines they grabbed with Posh alone! Yeah she may have a cold outlook but thats her persona, i love her for it tbh! Its how you recognise her

But tbh if they found that right sound and direction and came back with new material i wouldnt be against it....but if its anything like headlines or Voodoo....maybe not.
