It's their 20th anniversary this year, and the adverts for this years Brits seem to be focusing on their legendary Who Do You Think You Are performance.

There's been plenty of rumours about a 2016 reunion, so do you think there's a surprise performance in store?

Well, you never know. However, I do think that this should be their last hurrah; otherwise they are going to start looking ridiculous and end up tarnishing their reputation with the fanbase who grew up with them. Whether you like them or not, they were a successful and iconic British girl band.

When I have been writing this post, I can't get part of the song out of my head

I haven't seen the advert once I don't think. I've seen Madonna several times and Ed Sheeran at least twice, Adele once. So I wouldn't read much into it.

I would love it though if they did, although I'd prefer a few gigs in the Summer.

would love that but dont think so. i think we would know by now or bigger hints would be dropped. and i havent heard anything

However i do think they will do something this year to celebrate 20 years but i think itll be something small [not a world tour] and it wont be til the summer as Wannabe wasnt released til July 1996 so itll be about that sort of time

Will it be without Victoria? I doubt she'd commit to anything.

I very much doubt it. But never say never, I suppose.

Geri told Chris Evans on his radio show last month that if they do announce anything for the 20th anniversary it will be the four of them.

So no Victoria this time.

It's not like they need her I suppose, but IIRC she was the one getting the biggest cheers from the fans during the last reunion. Will be interesting if they can sell out shows without her.

for me it needs to be five of them .
i can understand her not committing to a full tour, but she could atleast be part of something ffs, without the spice girls she would be NOTHING. i hope she realises that.
no Beckhams, no fashion range, no international fame. she owes it all to that group.

I can't understand why they would go forward without Victoria, on that Spice Girls The Inside Story documentary from 2007 all of them made a big point of saying the group never worked without Geri as the Spice Girls were always five girls. So why are the prepared to now progress forward without Posh?

Each of them is too important and without all five they simply don't have that magic.

i think thats a bit unfair to say that to be honest. Look, im a massive SG fan and i really want a reunion this year as much as all the other fans. However, i really dont think its fair to say Victoria should just drop everything everytime the other girls decide they want to do another reunion. Dont forget. as well as having 4 kids, she also runs a very successful fashion empire which i imagine is a full time job in itself. Shes not being ungrateful. Every interview she does, she says in great lengths how proud she is of being a Spice Girl and how amazing it was so i just dont think its fair when people say 'aw shes so ungrateful' just because shes too busy to tour.

i kinda agree but to be honest Geri played a much more prominent role in the SG and sang more than Victoria. it still wouldnt be the same without Victoria but she wouldnt be missed as much as Geri was

It amuses me that the advert with Madonna is trying to make out that hers was such an iconic performance, when the most memorable part was her falling down the stairs...and they didn't show that bit!

I very much doubt it - they may well back together at the end of the year seeing as it's the 20th Anniversary from when they released Wannabe, Say You'll Be There and 2 Become 1

I would disagree actually while its true Geri contributed more in terms of vocals and the actual writing of songs I still say all five are what made them so great. Take any one of them away and you are missing a crucial link.

While Emma and Mel C were the best singers I don't think the Spice Girls could function without the other 3. It was very much the Posh, Ginger and Scary show as they were the one's with the biggest personalities.
