If this turns out to be true I sincerely hope they reform as a foursome and not introduce any new member. It would seriously destroy the legacy of the Spice Girls.

Yeah. It's too late to introduce a new member. I think just as a four will be fine. I'll miss Victoria but it would be worse if they replaced her, especially with Heidi Range.

What a weird story

Why Heidi Range?

Why would a record company not sign them as a four-piece?

And why would it be more likely they'd get signed with a random fifth member?

Why?

Why?

With all 5 members then this would be a good idea.

4 members, NO!

A replacement, HELL NO!

A reunion won't work or be taken seriously unless they are all up for it.

What no VB.

Sacrilage.

How about Susan Boyle to take her place.

Heidi Range would be perfect for the group. She looks as old as the other Spice Girls so she would fit right in, like she had been part of the group from the beginning.

Presumably then that would mean there would also be a Sugababes 5.0??

They really need to stop with the whole 'reunion' thing. It's getting a little desperate imo. They're all edging on 40, they're not the young pop girls they used to be. How many reunions are they gonna have before they actually call it a day? Times have moved on, and I think people are more excited with their one of performances rather than them actually coming back.

I commend Victoria for not wanting to reform. She's obviously the only one who has spent the last 10 years pushing forward in life and creating a career she has wanted. The others seem to just cling onto the past. For someone like Halliwell who got out, she seems to be crawling back to get them back together again

its probably a made up story, surely? the spice girls underperformed as a four piece off the back of the height of their fame, so its unlikely it could work now. they could quite easily tour as a four piece, but releasing music could prove disastrous again.

replacing vb would also be unwise. she may be useless in terms of ability and miserable as sin, but it wouldn't be the same without her.

It's just speculation. I could've made up this story.

From Mel C's Twitter

"It seems there has been some Spice related nonsense written today. None of the Spice Girls would ever or could ever be replaced*#justsayinx"

Mel C has been under strict instructions to write that, as its not meant to be official yet. I'm friends with Geri, and they are in talks with Sugababes, Atomic Kitten and Spice Girls to reform together as a super group. Like this, but permanent.

Heidi Range can't wait to be rid of the Sugababes can she. First celebrity ice skating and now Spice Girls auditioning.

Atomic Kitten to Sugababes to Spice Girls. She'll be joining Bananarama next ...

Well they were a foursome for some time when Geri left I suppose, so it certainly wouldn't be unheard of.

And if you go by their body language when they're together without VB, they seem to enjoy each other's company a lot more and have more fun so that alone might be a good reason to reform.

But they shouldn't bring anyone else in though - it's far too late in the day and, as someone said, would only dilute the name.

If they want to have a crack at it as a four piece, why not ?

I'm probably one of the few people who liked "Holler" that they did as a four, so if they can do something like that again, I wouldn't have a problem with it.

They shouldn't reform as a four piece, the Spice Girls is all five of them or none.

As for a replacement ffs one of the most iconic girl bands of their era and there are talks of a replacement for VB? INSANE!!!

Why get a 5th member that wont draw anymore money +take a salary
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Lets use a 100M gross for a big worldwide tour

A full reunion tour split 5 ways 100M /5 20M per girl



How much of an impact having 4/5 girls will have on tickets sale? lets say 20% thats still 80M /4 20 m per girl

If she doesnt wanna do it they dont need her even if shes my fave
