theres an article in the sun saying that Simon is now the point of contact for any use of their name/material and that Melanie C is back in discussions for a reunion with the girls (minus VB)
I hope so I feel the 4 girls have unfinished business and the musical opening night is not how I want the spice girls to end.
I always hope for the best re: a reunion, but at the same time I'm not holding my breath.
Some articles in The Sun and Daily Mail this morning about a possible reunion
I hope it happens. If it does it'll be a shame denden wasn't around for it.
No disrespect to buzz jack which is great.
Not entirely convinced about the truth surrounding this I mean GEM was meant to be a thing and look how that turned out.
I've always thought a TV special would be perfect for them to reunite. Vic could have more control over the vocals content. A tv special and short uk tour with a compilation album with unreleased stuff and a new song is how my perfect 20th reunion would have gone. So I really hope this is true.
Also although it is only the Sun they did seem to know most things about the 20th reunion that never happened. Like they said mel c had dropped out well before the 3 recorded song for her.
They also did some random article going through everything that happened last year with the reunion and plans that folded. It seemed odd to make a story of all the stories of last year but I guess they knew something was going on behind the scenes again.
Sounds amazing and all But I just hope it's true .
Interesting that if this happens it will be around the time the Pussycat Dolls reunite as well. Wonder if they would tour together?
Sounds like BS
Here we go again! Every time there's new reunion rumours, I get so hopeful... I need to try and keep my expectations at a low level!
I'd be quite satisfied with a TV special, if it was something similar to the "...at the BBC" specials that Adele, Harry Styles & Sam Smith have done. A mixture of performances and interviews! I'd much rather that than another documentary in which they're interviewed separately. I'd do everything in my power to try and get a seat in the TV special audience.
I'd only be interested in a second compilation album if they were prepared to include lots of bonus material, i.e. unreleased tracks/rarities. Otherwise, I'd see no point in it, given that we already have Greatest Hits containing all of their singles. I'd hope they'd make some sort of effort to promote it, beyond just a one-off TV special, i.e. doing interviews with magazines/newspapers, and TV interviews. Did the Spice Girls even do any sit-down interviews in the ROTSG era? It'd be great for them to do the likes of Graham Norton.
Obviously a tour and new music is the most ideal outcome for a reunion, but I've accepted that both are highly unlikely. So I'd definitely embrace the TV special rumoured plan.
It's always exciting when there's new rumours (and once again it's attracted the attention of all sorts of online newspapers / gossip sites), but I'm not going to be holding my breath. :')
Dead at this *.* but I have my doubts because it's come from The Sun
I hope its true id like to see them do something. Its likely if they do, this time round the release will be an Ultimate Collection. I hope there is at least 2 new tracks.
OK, so forgive in advance for the long post about my feelings.
I so hope this is true, but I have been so upset when things haven't worked out previously. I was all for the 3 piece GEM project and was heartbroken when Geri quit. I was also really down for new music from a 4 piece band without VB in 2012/13 until Melanie C put paid to that so I don't wanna get too excited.
Obviously any project or photoshoot would get me excited, but I am finding it quite hard to believe that VB would want to take part in anything that involves performing? I thought even at the Olympics she looked uncomfortable - a big difference from the ROTSG era VB who initially seemed to really enjoy the performing. If the TV special is another bloody Giving You Everything/Viva Forever documentary i'll be a tad disappointed, I wanna see something more along the lines of An Audience With... something a bit more interactive. I'd love to see them perform Viva Forever again, something stripped back. It's a shame they didn't perform on The X Factor (when it was big!) in 2012 to promote the musical, that would have been quite a big boost for them.
I assume all the papers saying 'new album' they mean a hits collection/anthology type thing, rather than a fourth studio album. If its just another Greatest Hits though, I think it would be better to repackage the 2007 one, with a bonus disk or whatever, so that the sales talley adds onto the existing one, rather than a new one that sells <100,000 copies (sales are really low these days). And for gods sake release the bloody thing on vinyl.
Promotion is always going to be an issue, VB isn't going to suspend her fashion line for six months to promote something Spice related, so I guess a TV special is about as good as its gonna get, but I did always wish they would do a one-off stadium show, rather than a tour, something that VB would be more likely to be able to do time-wise, but again her lack of interest in performing would put paid to that. If they did though, they could do a one-off or two-night show, film it and whack it out on DVD.. mission accomplished haha. I agree with the comment above about a Graham Norton show, maybe they could do it as a special where the only guests are the Girls or maybe have the other guests as people the girls have a relationship with, David, Simon would be obvious go-to people. I'd also like to see them do something a bit more low key, such as This Morning, where they always had a good relationship. I admire the girls for still doing stuff like that even when they were global icons, these days acts do one performance and expect the music to sell on twitter fanbase alone.
One last thing, is expecatation of image... Melanie B looks amazing all the time. The outfits they wore to promote Headlines were ridiculous! they underwear in the video and then bloody Top Hat Spice on the TV performance! I just want them to look like what the Spice girls would look like in 2017.. not mutton dressed as lamb, but not like they are about to go to a black tie event. The Olympics were a good example of them getting the styling bang on.
I'm not moaning by the way, just thinking about how if this really does happen, it will really be the last hurrah for the girls and i'm just thinking about how perfect it could be in my head haha.
Whatever happens, I'll be here for the ride. Just like always.
Girl Power! XO
Oh my god GEM was a HEATED MESS, a normal mess where heat is applied to make it even hotter and messier than before!!!
This will be SO much better ... if true.
NO PUSSYCAT NICOLE SCHERZINGER DOLLS!!!
The GEM project would have been disastrous. This, if true, is the best approach.
I'm waiting for anything to be officially announced before I believe it.
I feel like anything will be along 'final farewell' lines but we'll see!
Some quick thoughts:
- excited nervousness for a new album... perhaps it would be a deluxe greatest hits with some new/unreleased tracks (WOMAN!?)...
- tv special sounds most plausible out of everything... hopefully like 'an audience with'...
- I'd really like a final live show, perhaps a week at Wembley stadium... FILMED THIS TIME!...
- for god's sake vinyl. A spiceworld repress. The greatest hits! Pleeeeeeaaase!...
They should release W.O.M.A.N as a first single.
How will they do a Take That though and update their sound?? :/
Tske That have massively outsold them now
I don't think they will be recording 10 new tracks, its more likely they will give old tracks they never used no? Maybe record one song, but I can't imagine Victoria being down for that.
Lets not get ahead of ourselves guys. The most we will get is probably another GH with some unreleased tracks, which is all good by me. They wont tour with Victoria again, and they wont make new music with Victoria again.
I am happy with an Anthology/GH with unreleased tracks. That suits me well
Oh I don't believe this at all, unless the VB brand started bombing.
Victoria just denied it , They can do it without her if they're really serious about it another album with four girls won't harm anyone LOL
Oh well :')
nooooooOooOooooOooOooooooooOOOOOOoooooo
FFFS
LIFE IS A c**t.
IM SO UPSET RIGHT NOW
Mel C needs to add her vocals to song for her and new album with that sound would be great and forget about Victoria already LOL
I'd still love to hear a finished mastered version of Song For Her.
Just give us a new released collection with unreleased tracks from different eras and those of the girls who wish to promote it in interviews can.
Victoria and Melanie C have already denied it. So stupid that a lot of "news sources" were announcing this as "confirmed".
Victoria on the possibility of a Spice Girls reunion: "It is not happening. At some point you've got to know when it's time to say 'that was great.' Girl power is something that will always be out there, something that we all believe in. What I do now is still girl power, but it's empowering women through fashion. But I don't think I'll be slipping into a PVC catsuit any time soon."

SPICING UP THEIR LIVES Spice Girls ‘will reunite to judge Chinese talent show’
Geri, Mel B, Mel C and Emma have reportedly found a "compromise" to reunite with Victoria Beckham after she refused to ever sing with the band again
THE SPICE Girls are reportedly set to reform on Chinese television show to act as judges in an X Factor style talent search.
According to the Mail on Sunday, the group reached a “compromise” for a reunion after post spice Victoria Beckham allegedly refused to never sing with the band again.
A source told the paper: “Victoria vowed she would never sing with the girls again, and she won’t.
But now they’ve found a way around that.”
The source states that the girls are intending to head over to China to film the show in the spring to the tune of a nice payout said to be worth millions.
This includes raking in the cash with the help of endorsements and other big money deals in the process.
https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/5205815/spice-girls-will-reunite-to-judge-chinese-talent-show/
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-5208999/Spice-Girls-set-reunite-talent-judges-China.html
Is it so random? Not that I'm saying it is true but if Brand Beckham felt it wanted to branch into Asia more then it would make sense, especially if Simon Fuller was behind it, combining his 2 big strokes of genius Spice Girls and Pop Idol.
Of course it’s not true Would love to know what sources that news writer has because they sound lovely or the ones in her head 😂
THE PRICE GIRLS The Spice Girls to reunite for £10million each as Victoria Beckham finally says YES – but she won’t be singing
Projects being considered include TV shows in China, a new telly talent show, endorsement deals and a compilation album celebrating their greatest hits
THE Spice Girls will reunite today and Victoria Beckham has finally agreed to be part of it.
The five will get £10million each for new projects — with Posh believed to have sought assurances she will not have to sing.
Scary Spice Mel B, 42, will fly in from LA today for a secret meeting with bandmates Posh, 43, Baby Emma Bunton, 42, Sporty Mel C, 44, and Ginger Geri Horner, 45.
It will be the first time the five have been together in the same room since 2012.
Pop Idol mastermind Simon Fuller, 57, is behind the venture — and is believed to have promised reluctant Victoria her vocals will not be needed.
Last night a source close to the band said: “This is the pop reunion no one thought would ever happen again.
“But after a long period of negotiation Victoria agreed the time is right to work on new projects this year.
“It’s very exciting because she has always been adamant she wouldn’t go back.”
They are considering TV projects in China, a new telly talent show, endorsement deals and a compilation album celebrating their greatest hits.
Our insider added: “Victoria and Geri agreed it would be impossible to be part of a fully-fledged tour because of family and business commitments.
“Now that she’s a top designer Victoria is concerned about singing but she wants to make money to pump back into her business.”
Victoria’s fashion empire, launched in 2008, made a loss of £8.4million last year.

The Sun running with this TV projects in China rumour again.
Well Mel B did put #powerof5 on an insta post the other day which seemed really odd. Isn't Mel B flying to the UK today too.
Some meeting is defo happening Geri, Mel C abd Simon Fuller pictured arriving at Geri's house.
https://kenh789.com/tvshowbiz/article-5344613/Spice-Girls-Geri-Horner-Mel-C-arrive-meeting.n.html
For the money again LOL i hope it's true anyway
I highly doubt it is for money, they could have milked 2016 for money if all 5 are doing something it is because they want to do it.
Denden would've been going crazy at this ha ha sad that it's gone.
Hope something happens.
Mel B has been pictured arriving and Victoria's car. So that is 4 plus Simon, just Emma not seen.
Oh Emma is so there, she probably slept over last night.
this is so exciting... its actually happening. god i wish deaden was live!
Too early for me to get excited just yet.
Maybe they're just having a nice roast dinner... Lobster anyone? ;-)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qebdXZ5MV0g
No actual photos of Victoria though.. hmm
I can live without seeing them perform again, but the fans deserve a proper GHs box set with unreleased tracks. Also betacam footage of the tours wouldn’t go amiss.
VB's Instagram!
they've captioned with exciting in... hope this means its more than a catch up. well of course it is, simon wouldn't go otherwise.
trending on twitter too!
Omg, something is actually happening?! How exciting!
Oh my God!!!
I really want to try and remain calm and keep my expectations in check... but something must be going on.
Seeing the 5 of them together again
Emma put 'the future is looking spicy' on her insta caption I think that confirms they all signed a contract today.
I hope it’s not a reality tv show talent contest thing. Please no
They look magical together as a five piece.
I wonder if there's any chance of new music. This China thing seems random and made up.
I really think given Emma said the “future is spicy” that the plans relate to a tv contest to search for the next SGs. I just hope we get at least a rereleased GHs with unreleased tracks out of it.
The picture That picture alone made me so excited!
For now, I'm just happy for the picture.
At least, I hope we all have learned not to raise our expectations after so many rumors.
Such a shame she is only doing it for the money .
No new music or performances . Not for the the love of it and certainly not for the fans .
In fairness we don’t know yet what this is all about! We shouldn’t trust The Sun, only official word from the girls.
I had a feeling after Mel B got divorced that things would improve. He was clearly a difficult person to be around.

I wonder what's the deal ? but I bet it's big money
The Sun and DailyMail have been posting articles about this for the last couple days, going on about a £10 million 'pay day' for an unknown project, maybe a GH, maybe a competition, maybe just more adverts.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-5344613/amp/Spice-Girls-Geri-Horner-Mel-C-arrive-meeting.html
The Daily Mail is having a FIELD DAY with all this and their Instas
But it looks absolute rubbish. Someone should tell them they already have a GH. It got to no.2, nearly beaten by Shitelife at #3.
This is all about the money. No new songs etc. Advertisements were what killed them off in the first place.
The VB picture of the 5 of them now has over 1 million likes in just 3 hours
If it's some tv crap I'm not here for that LOL
The photos alone are a lovely gesture to the fans. They've made me so happy today.
Whatever happens, I'll be thankful to them for keeping the love alive <3
Fingers crossed for more to come
https://twitter.com/danwootton/status/959522429331820544
Statement is exciting but quite vague!
When they say "exciting possibilities that will once again embrace the original essence of the Spice Girls" it has me worried about the idea of a reality TV show to find a new girl group to carry on their ethos for a new generation, or something.
Come on girls slay 2018 for me!
You can’t find a new SGs, they should know that.
Hmmmmm statement is vague no actual mention of music. It worries me Vic and Simon are the driving force behind this as music seems to be not on Vic's list of priorities.
I'd like to be excited but it'll probably be a reality show about finding the "next" Spice Girls.
GH with unreleased music or new tracks would be great and I'd love them to do Vegas
Victoria also posted a video on Instagram, and a slightly different one on her story. Very cute - https://www.instagram.com/p/BetUamrlTdN/?taken-by=victoriabeckham It has 1,260,845 views views so far! Original post has amassed 1,355,963 likes.
Who is Jo Milloy though
If this is some lame attempt at creating a "Spice Girls Juniors" through some cringey "Let It Shine" style talent show then I am NOT HERE FOR IT (but I will watch it.)
Apparently Victoria's fashion empire is crumbling and lost £8.5 million last year, which is why she's doing this!
I've decided to be upbeat, some of the least expected things have been some of my fave things since 2000. The Tesco adverts and Viva Forever documentary being 2 examples. Who knows what unexpected treats we will get.
I'm also grateful the pic from inside the theatre with Vic in a suit and the others in dresses isnt the last 5 piece pic we ever get.
I'm trying to be positive too, but at the same time I don't want to set myself up for disappointment. I just want whatever it is to be music related and purely about them!
Mel C was on the phone to Dermot on Radio 2 earlier this morning
Mel C was also denying anything was happening in her last few interviews. You don't crack opem bubbly, have your manager over and make this much fuss unless you signed on the dotted line yesterday. Victoria wouldn't tease a reunion that wont happen.
They're cooking something big
They performed at Wembley Stadium 20 years ago this September. And Geri didn’t play the stadium, which is one of her big regrets.
Maybe they could do a big show with other female artists and groups
Looks like they are hoping we all forgot about that
A better stage writer, plus a musical o their band AND solo songs combined with All Saints, if necessary, would have been much better. Saints & Spices. They only had 2 worthwhile albums of material + 3 singles. They needed to use B Sides and solo singles at least.
Ugh another viva forever musical
BBC is ALL over this today, as it is helping them hide the anti Tory protests in London
Did anyone look closely at the phone on the table in that new picture of them?
Re: Melanie C on Radio 2, I’m assuming the girls aren’t ready to reveal anything yet so Melanie is being deliberately vague.
All i want is a new album
Daily Mail:
Posh changes her mind and WILL sing with Spice Girls having insisted she would never do so again as reunited group prepares for £50M world tour
It's the one thing Victoria Beckham had insisted she would never do again.
However, the lure of a £10million pay day appears to have changed her mind – and Posh Spice has agreed to sing.
The Mail on Sunday can reveal that, after two years of negotiation, Posh finally agreed to tour the world with her former Spice Girls pals.

~~~~~
Obviously it's just speculation, but it's interesting that the Daily Mail are going with this angle, not long after The Sun suggested she won't have to sing. Here's hoping that ends up being true!
Why are they being so nice?
They hated them not long ago.
But could you imagine SHITELIFE getting this attention? They might have won the Uk wars and the head-to-heads with their cheesy cover ballads, arrogant fooktwats, but they did NOT win in the history books. Spice Girls LITERALLY get attention for walking down streets. I do wonder if Geri had stayed/ the industry were less sexist if they would have beaten Westlife's overall UK sales/ in the head-to-heads anyway.
Of course Vicky agreed to sing. She needs to money for her failing flop fashion company.
Her company is HUGE. A loss one year from investment BEFORE the investments pay off, with Target deals etc, is normal. In fact, the company can probably do well enough running itself, allowing her to do the reunion.
She doesn’t sing anyway so I don’t understand the problem
Emma was very coy on radio today she actually said 'we were all in town so thought we would meet up'. Yes Emma Mel B was just in town for a reason 😉
And meet up and have the papz outside, Simon in attendance and put it all over social media?
She tried to make it sound like they met as friends and then reunion talk came from that. It was obviously a business meeting with a bonus catch up with friends. Mel B doesnt fly to the UK for a day and you don't have your manager there unless it is to nail down a contract.
And Mel B looked really tired - she had obviously been up all night to fly over especially.
The 2007 reunion started with a February meeting. So I guess we will find out in May.
By the way, in case anyone hasn't listened yet - Emma and Melanie C talking about the Spice Girls meeting, on radio:
The Sun claims they might start a record label to help female artists. Makes sense and would give some of them something to work on in their twilight years.
Whatever they do they have to give their market some enticements like unheard music, performances...
WOW a record label that would be great so we can get the unreleased tracks
TMZ claim there will be a UK and US tour starting late summer. No new music, no Vegas residency.
So far there are no sources cited, confirmations, etc in regards to the TMZ "announcement" today, correct?
http://www.tmz.com/2018/02/07/spice-girls-reunite-tour-concerts-together/
TMZ have an article saying the girls have renewed a trademark contract on touring merchandise till 2023. There would be only 1 reason to renew a trademark contract on touring merch. http://www.tmz.com/2018/02/07/spice-girls-trademark-sell-tour-merchandise-rights-reunion/
September to December is realistic as that is after Mel Cs summer festival appearances and in between fashion weeks for Victoria. If they are touring up and down the UK then I guess stadiums aren’t likely.
Why do that if there is no music? What's the point?
They should AT LEAST release W.O.M.A.N, an updated version of it, and see if Mel C can write any Spicy hits.
Rumors rumors rumors I'll wait for the real deal when it's out
Very exciting! I'm anxious for them to officially confirm their plans.
Oh god if an announcement isn't till say April this is going to be a long couple of months.
Glastonbury I don’t think is for them.
I’m all for the tour and Glastonbury and new merchandise. But I just NEED some songs. I don’t care if it’s new,
I’ll settle for stuff such as Woman, Do You Think About Me, Rarieties, Demos etc. Surely that wouldn’t be hard to do!?
I agree. Even Geri agreed from that answer
What about the Superbowl???
So Harper will see mommy was a pop star then
It’s strange in the US how they haven’t sold records there since 1998 but they can fill MSG and play arenas all over the country. They could in 2008 and they can now.
I actually could see them doing the Super Bowl next year.. it would be a huge gig for them and would be sure to generate ticket sales for a tour too.
I also disagree about them not being big or current enough, its the Spice Girls for god sake. Lady Gaga was hardly current when she did it. and Coldplay have done it, so you don't need to be american.
The latest news story is that xVB and Geri are arguing over the leadership role of the reunion.... I cant breathe
Spice girls have signed Dawbell as their publicist https://www.prweek.com/article/1456844/dawbell-hired-spice-girls-ahead-rumoured-reunion
Wow looks like they mean business then. If they have recently hired a major music PR firm then a tour is likely to be announced soon.
Dawbell's press statement says an announcement is coming soon.
HURRY UUUUUUUUUUUUUP!!!!!! The wait and suspense is KILLING ME!!!
Why are people talking about Super Bowl? It's 12 months away and is 12 mins and done. I want more than that.
It’s probably likely their reunion tour will be over by the SuperBowl anyway.
What a way to celebrate the Spice Girls though, especially with their small catalogue
I wonder if they will have a mailing list to research where the main demand is? It would be nice if Australia got some dates.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Victoria will be showing at LFW this September instead of New York. London concerts to start in September surely.
Ooh, the DawBell PR news is an exciting development! "Exciting news will be announced soon", oh my
*Bump* I will be moving reunion related discussion into this thread.
Good idea Jay. It will be easier having 2018 stuff discussed here and general past spice stuff in the other thread. Thanks.

Victoria told vogue.com that there is no tour
A five piece reunion seems redundant without music or live performing.
I hope she's just saying this to keep things a surprise otherwise...
Hopefully Victoria is just saying that, I can't see anything but a tour or a residency somewhere that will be good enough for the hype. Saying that if they just go back to the original plan of a some Hyde Park gigs that's fine, as long as it's at least one full length show that they bother to record this time.
Yeh if they don't tour or perform or do anything with music people are just going to be like Who do they think they are exactly they are popstars nothing more.
Except!
Maybe there is a 4 piece tour, and the rest is as the 5 of them
Tbf I'm down for that! Bet Melanie C isn't though. Also I think that's where a collaboration with BSB would be good as there will be more draw then just 4 girls which will never be as big of an attraction nowadays without new music to back it up.
Well she didn’t say “I’m not performing”, so maybe a one off show could happen. Touring the world isn’t likely when almost all their kids are at school.
Well I do hope Victoria was just being pedantic about the use of the word "tour" and at the very least they're doing a residency. Please perform, ladies!
She could be bluffing - Adele is so different but for about a month and a half she was towing the “I’m not touring” line and then announced a massive tour. Think they’re just saving the hype so it doesn’t fade away too soon.
Whatever happens I'm just annoyed she said that. It has killed the hype and most people seem to think that means no reunion at all now.
The Sun are reporting the tv talent show will recruit a girl frim china, India, UK and put them together to form a multi cultural and national girl band. Also that some cant commit to doing 6 weeks in each country so it might not be all of them.
That would be the worst outcome. I could almost get on board if a tv talent show was uk had all 5 judging and the winner was a girl band the spice girls worked with somehow say on a single or supporting them on tour.
Also they say there could be a HnM clothing line.
If both these are true, and the sun has been pretty accurate so far, then they really have no idea what the fans and general public want from them.
I really doubt there will be ANY performance/show/tour. Every comment I've seen from them hints towards 'creating a legacy' which in my mind is a TV talent show, a last reunion before passing on the baton to a new girl group.
Happy to be proved wrong though!
They can't say what's going on at the moment , they can't just kill the hype .
Guys, they wont tour. I think that ship has sailed, and we would all be happier if we just accept that. That way, you won't be dissapointed if they don't tour (which they wont) but you could also be pleasently surprised if they do tour = it's a win win situation.
I rather know now that they aren’t going to tour than be disappointed in x months time when they announce their venture.
The sun are claiming they wont tour but will do a few huge shows acrosd the globe.
I feel like there has been too much evidence they will perform for them to not do anything music related.
According to TMZ, the Spice Girls have signed contracts for a reunion tour ~ http://www.tmz.com/2018/02/15/spice-girls-reunion-tour-contracts-signed-uk-united-states/
The Spice Girls have signed contracts for their reunion tour ... TMZ has learned.
Sources connected to the group tell us, Mel B signed on the dotted line last Friday and we're told the other members signed as well.
TMZ broke the story ... the girls have agreed to reunite for a series of concerts in the UK and the U.S. After our story posted, Victoria Beckham told Vogue there would be no reunion tour, but we know Mel B has signed the deal, as have others, and it spells out the specifics, including the number and location of concerts and compensation.
We're told there will be a limited number of concerts in the 2 countries and the group is gearing up to make a ton of cash on merchandise too.
-----
If it's true, I'm already worrying about just how "limited" the number of concerts will be.
Victoria didn’t flat out deny that she won’t perform when she said “no tour.” A few shows in the US and UK probably wouldn’t be classed as a ‘tour.’ I’m thinking two shows at MSG and two shows at the 02 - probably extended due to overwhelming demand.
The merchandising comment is random, all concerts sell merchandise? For a “limited” number of shows they won’t make that much in merchandising.
expect the unexpected....
f*** the o2.. lets go back to wembley and do 2 nights there! they'd rake in loads more and fit more fans in!
I hope so! I'm dreading the thought of missing out on tickets already and there's no announcement yet
Dread to think how much tickets will be! Bet they will be over £100 each
Totally unfair on everyone if there are just two small concerts with ridiculous prices
Surely well get the concert filmed for broadcast or release or both this time round.
I hope it is Wembley Stadium so that Geri can finally get to perform there. They would easily sell out two nights there.
Well they did 8 dates for their Christmas shows in 1999
I very much hope to have the chance to see them live in concert, finally!
The ROTSG tour? One of my biggest regrets
Please no hyde Park
Open in London Stratford stadium (much smaller than Wembley)
Some northern dates .
Some American dates.
Finish weekend at Wembley !!
Interesting reading the beginning of this thread, Vic saying defo no to a reunion at recent as mid Nov. They must have been in talks then, so she isn't always truthful.
Well Mel C was against performing again and then a few months later they announced the 2007/08 tour. A lot can change over weeks/months, it can be just one phone call that can change everything.
I think it will be good for them to perform a concert this year as it is 10 years since their last concert. They can’t be accused of milking things,
She's either utterly clueless as to what the fans want otherwise she's not wanting to give anything away.
Please be the second option.
Please piss off Victoria you are annoying the hell out of me!
I have a feeling there will be nothing and they got together to get that photo to show they are friends. In line with the #metoo hype at the moment.
Honestly, i don't know what to think...
broken
Everyone is gonna hate vicky now LMAO
I think a clothing line could be interesting, but, for me, nothing would be more empowering than reworking the lyrics of WOMAN and release it with a video full of other amazing women, like a real girl power anthem. Absolutely nothing would top that, for me.
And I wish Anna Wintour would give them a cover again (even though she regrets the one they did), it would be amazing.
Hey everybody! I've been lurking around for a few weeks and decided to register this morning lol
Anyways, regarding Victoria's latest comments.... If you aren't reuniting for something relating to singing (new music, repackaged GH with some unreleased material, performances, tour, ect...) then whats the point really? I'm beginning to think all of them posting those pictures together was just a ploy to show the public that they are still in communication with each other.
WOMAN ain't happening
Darkchild should be ashamed, no doubt.
But still... dirty, cool, g-string-wearing industry players? It's not their best.
Let's celebrate another day that the aural turd WOMAN isn't unleashed upon the unsuspecting masses x
Auditory, no?
Whatever
It is at least as good as Stop

OH. MY GOD!!!!
TRICKY VICKY LYING!!!!
Although we will probably just get grainy photos
I love this, it would be huge and worldwide.
I'm confused. Was she saying they are going to perform at the Royal Wedding? In what way exactly, because if it's the reception ala Ellie Goulding at William and Kates then no-one will see it as that is done privately. Seems incredibly random if so.
That's what I fear if this is really true - that we'd not see them performing anyway if it's a private affair. I mean presumably all that would air on TV would be the wedding itself? Unless Harry & Meghan intend to be quite modern and show more of their wedding day than that, but that seems fanciful.
Also I'm still not sure whether to 100% trust Mel lol. :') But it'd be so random of her to subtly confirm this if it wasn't actually true.
In summary: I don't know what to think x
Televised or not they will all arrive together be professionally photographed together and it would be a huge starting point for a reunion. The girl group so in demand they sing atthe royal wedding. It is like when artist put out albums or tour tickets straight after they do Super bowl.
It'd be pretty incredible to see that. But maybe they'd arrive with their families instead? Or at least not all 5 together as one. Can't exactly imagine VB not walking in alongside David really.
The make up artist who claimed the girls were going to announce a tour the date he said was May 26th(?) I think it was before he removed it.
That would be 1 week after the wedding 🤔
There's no way there'll be any photographs or footage from the reception but it'll be great to see them arriving and what's more, this will be a global event (press/tv wise) Yes it's about Prince Harry and Megan Markle but this'll be an amazing platform to launch whatever it is they want to.
Also the GH has jumped 50+ places and is currently at #57 on the Kworb chart
I hope she brings Azealia Banks so they can duet for Harry and Meghan... bringing the US and UK together...
It's probably Mel B talking nonsense again...
Well she will look an idiot if she doesn’t attend. Maybe a request for them to perform at the event a while back was the trigger for them to meet up and re-sign with Simon.
Yeah I mean at the very least all 5 will be there, Mel can jump the gun sometimes but I'm not sure she would flat out lie about this.
And it's 2 become 1 what else
I dunno Mel has said a few things in the past that have been utter nonsense... I hope not.
Even Reuters has reported this
I really hope that Victoria is lying...
Hilarious Mel B's lapsus in the video:"we signed back with Simon"
I don't think Simon was just there to see them something is up ya'll
From TMZ this morning.
SPICE GIRLS MANAGER SIMON FULLER
KINDA CONFIRMS CONCERT TOUR
Simon Fuller was an inch away from confirming the Spice Girls reunion concert tour ... but -- truth be told -- our photog sorta blew it.
We got Simon Wednesday night in WeHo leaving Madeo, and asked about a couple of things. As for Mel B intimating her girl group is playing the Royal Wedding ... well, he makes it seem like it's news to him.
But then our photog goes in ... what about the reunion tour? Simon says it may be 4 instead of 5 ... obviously suggesting Victoria might not be on board. The follow-up ... well, heartbreaking.
Speaking of breaking ... TMZ broke the story the group is reuniting for a limited number of concerts in England and the U.S. Victoria has denied the group is reuniting ... Mel B has a different story.
It is all games with the media right now. Just sit back and relax and wait for an announcement.
Quite strange hearing him speak as you often dont.
I hope this is all games with the media otherwise it's becoming a real joke.
Seems like Craig David wouldn't be getting tickets for a reunion lol:
‘It’s a funny one. The Spice Girls as a group embodied female empowerment. But they’ve all grown into women. Victoria’s doing her own thing, Melanie C, Melanie B, Emma… Geri was very vocal when it came to politics. But to come back and pretend that they can put on those little dresses and vibe, it’s not really authentic. I can’t talk about doing what young people do, I’m 36 years old. There’s certain things that have a time and place. But I think the fans would love to have a reunion.’
Fuller even seemed to refute what Mel B said about the royal wedding, despite her being direct about it. They need to hurry up and announce something
The royal wedding are inviting 2.6k people of the public onto the grounds of Windsor. It says to watch harry go in and out but sounds like they could be having some sort of celebration in the grounds to me 🤔
THIS IS DOING MY HEAD IN! (ala Emma in Spiceworld!)
Maybe 4 not 5 and the guy says 4 shows not 5 TMZ is dumb LMAO
Don’t know how I should feel but still hoping

So I'm officially excited again! Kevsie seems to have alot of insider scoop ala the MOTM album, SFH with GEM, the inside scoop about Melanie C leaving before it was announced and the reasoning with the TV show search for a new Posh...
I truly believe something great is coming now!
(Ps if anyone can embed that image i'd appreciate it i cannot work it out and it's driving me flipping nuts!)
Can he at least say it is 5?
Melanie C regarding Mel B’s royal wedding comments:
"I think that might be a little bit of a joke that got a little out of hand! There are no plans for that unfortunately."
"We're back together in the sense that we're back with the same management that we had in the nineties, Mr Simon Fuller. We're talking about opportunities for the future. There aren't any plans for us to be performing live any time soon, but there are lots of other things."
https://www.hellomagazine.com/celebrities/2018030646785/mel-c-spice-girls-royal-wedding/
Anytime soon .....
I just hope the other things are not boring stuff like viva forever musical crap
Melanie C talking to The Sun:
“Victoria has been quite vocal, it’s really not something she wants to do at this time”
“I think it has to be all five, so it’s tricky.”
“No plans” (to tour as a four piece)
“It’s very early stages, we’re not talking about new music or going out on the road together at this time. It was just getting together to reignite all the things that we have had together and to work with Simon.”
(About the possibility of performing at London Pride): “That would be a very fitting place for the Spice Girls to reform but unfortunately I don’t think you’ll be seeing the Spice Girls on stage this year.”
“There will be new music but just me. I’m making an album which will be out later this year.”
“We’re all just dead busy. So if anything were to happen, it wouldn’t be now.”
~~~
I’m beyond bored of all of this, it’s always the same with them.
https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/5742072/spice-girls-reunion-victoria-beckham-out/
Been a fan for 22 years and it saddens me to say it but they don't treat their fans well.
To tease the way they do and then just come out and say what she said is just awful.
Sooooo the point of posting all those pictures was..... ?
and lmao at Mel C being like "there will be music but it'll just be from me"
Again guys, what were you expecting? We all know Victoria doesnt wanna do live gigs nor make new music, that has been very clear for a long time. And they already butchered a potential 4-piece reunion, so the probability of that happening has been gone for a long time...
The press does this (and they also dont help it themselves) all the f***ing time. Every time two of them are together, the press jumps on it that THEY MUST BE DOING NEW MUSIC, A WORLD TOUR, IT IS THE COMEBACK OF THE DECADE!!!! Like, we have seen it all before guys.
They probably put the picture of the 5 of them together online to generate some interest in the band again, to see what other non-new music, non-touring, offers they would get and then run with it. They never said touring or music, at all. In fact, the only time they promised it as a group, they delivered it - back in 2007 - and they were quite upfornt about the tour straight away.
We as a group of fans have to come to terms with this - they wont be doing more music. Pray for an anthology release, or some legacy projects and that's about it. If you start clamouring for more, that just leads to dissapointment, which is what is happening.
It just seemed like things might be different this time. The recent stance from Melanie C was “five or nothing”, and then finally the five of them met up (along with their manager), posted pictures on social media, which obviously created excitement.
It’s not only about what the fans want/hope for, but also what the public at large would expect... which is most definitely music/touring. After all, they’re a group of women who became famous as popstars. For most people, that’s the whole point of them being together, and what they’d want to see.
The reason why I’m feeling annoyed by this, is because of the way they’re playing games (deliberately or inadvertently, depending on the member) which is stringing the fans along. This has been the case for years; let’s not forget the run up to their 20th anniversary. The girls surely can’t be that naive that they wouldn’t know exactly how a 5 piece reunion picture would make people react. I wouldn’t say it’s about fans having expectations that are too high, more so the Spice Girls semi-regularly providing false hope, leading us to feel that something could potentially happen, someday.
A month on from the picture, we have Mel B teasing possibilities, while Melanie C and Victoria are putting a dampener on things, i.e. same old, same old. It’s really tiresome!
I guess we can’t be suprised we have been here before .
Oh well, it was a bit of fun while it lasted. Haha
They should go for it and do it without Vicky already they did it once without Geri and the whole 5 or nothing is kinda boring now we'll always love Victoria but the fans want to see the other girls too so I hope they do it as 4 and get on with it ..
Agreed .
It would not bother me at all if POSH didn’t take part . I found the cheers for her during the last tour confusing enough .
I’d much rather the four of them tour rather than crappy side projects .
really dont care for Victoria anymore, I was willing to forgive and forget when SHE was the one to post the picture first, but im deleting Out of your Mind and This Groove out of my iTunes.
She's ruined it all yet again.
Has it been ruined AGAIN??
They should just do the four of them then.
The press destroyed her singing confidence, plus she now has a fashion empire.
That's ok.
They did it as a four piece without Geri, and I prefer Holler and their four piece shenanigans to when Geri was in it anyway! Never liked Geri.
its all about Mel B and Emma, they are the main ones and the only ones who actually adore SPICEWORLD© and are always down for a reunion
Posh has slid down in my estimations too. It's fine if she doesn't want to take part. I respect that.
But to say she doesn't want the others to perform their songs... She's swelling out in the wrong direction.
I just wish Melanie C would see that Posh is acting like a baby.
Yeah completely agree - Melivn C was down for a 4 piece reunion from 2012 until 2015!
“We signed to Simon Fuller, the original Spice Girls manager ... we signed to him a few months ago,” Brown explained.
Pressed further about whether the group might relive the experience of their heyday at the upcoming wedding, Brown simply responded, “We will be doing stuff this year together, yes.”

(There's also a video included the above link)
Oh shut up Mel B LMAO
I think Mel B will keep talking it up for the exposure.
I'm ignoring her now, to save my poor broken heart
I would greatly welcome a tour that they all perform 3 of the solo hits and then close out the show with some Spice Girls classics.
This would be so great for the fans of the solo material on a large scale tour.
They are obviously doing something this year, I'm not sure why anyone doubts that?
James Corden wants the Spice Girls to do Carpool Karaoke, saying so in his Heart Radio interview with Emma - http://www.heart.co.uk/showbiz/showbiz-news/corden-emma-bunton-spice-girls-carpool-karaoke/
Would love to see it happen!
Some more comments from Mel (and other America's Got Talent related celebs) here:
Also here's a video of Mel B warning Phoenix not to say anything about the reunion https://twitter.com/extratv/status/973649903909040130 which makes it seem like she was worried Phoenix might spill the beans about something she shouldn't?
Bless Emma. She obviously wants something to happen but doesn't want to get too carried away.
If Cordon had said this to Mel B, it'd be a done deal, in the press, definitely going ahead, "We're shooting it tomorrow afternoon". Then... nada.
Imagine if all 5 were like mel b we would be on album 8 by now and they would be doing vegas.
I have a friend who works at Heart Radio and has the same manager as Emma there. Apparently they are all crapping themselves because Emma's contract comes up for renewal in summer and she is refusing to confirm whether she is re-signing or not... Another thing to add to the fire of Spice Girls reunion.
Just watched the James Corden interview.
I think a spice carpool is very likely . Not much work for posh !!
Mel B stop messing with your face
The Spice Girls’ Next Project: An Animated Superhero Movie (EXCLUSIVE)
The five group members will voice the character each of which will have her own "girl power."
Spice Girl power… activate! Variety has learned that an animated film project starring the Spice Girls is being shopped to potential production partners. According to a source, all five members of the group have signed off on their likenesses being used for a superhero-themed movie working off of the “girl power” message. Each character will be voiced by a Spice Girl — the group’s members include Victoria Beckham (“Posh Spice”), Melanie Brown (“Scary Spice”), Emma Bunton (“Baby Spice”), Melanie Chisholm (“Sporty Spice”) and Geri Halliwell (“Ginger Spice”) — and feature a “girl power” unique to that group member that reflects each girl’s personality.
The news follows recent rumors that the British girl group founded in 1994 planned to stage a reunion tour. While the former bandmates acknowledged that they had met “to explore some incredible new opportunities together,” an insider told Variety that talk of a tour was “premature” and that no dates have been booked by CAA, the Spice Girls’ longtime agency. Beckham herself has played down any possibility of a tour.
But with the animated superhero concept, the girls are committed and even “fired up about the idea,” says a source, adding, “The Spice Girls are thinking big in terms of a franchise on a global scale. They’re the most successful girl group on the planet. It’s just what Marvel or Disney needs.”
Manager Simon Fuller would not comment on the group’s future plans.
http://variety.com/2018/film/news/spice-girls-animated-superhero-movie-1202734123/#article-comments
Well just because it is being shopped doesn’t mean it will happen
LMAO
Hoo boy. What's scary is Variety is a generally reliable source...and isn't likely to make up something out of thin air.
So. That said...who on earth made that quote? Disney owns Marvel, Indiana Jones and Star Wars. Between all of that and the constant live action remakes of their past films, Disney is destined to rule the box office for the rest of eternity. They don't exactly "need" a group that's been defunct for 17 years.
I'm guessing the strategy is to pull in new, young fans. The music and characters would hold up for them...and animation would hide that these are now women in their 40s. But. I can't see any major production taking the gamble. The girls had their chance to record a song for the Hercules soundtrack back in 1997. That Disney ship sailed long ago.
Just another premature plan leaking out without a prayer of actually happening?
If it's not with Disney it's going to flop
Guys they hired a publicist they didn't do that for some film that would take about 2 years minimum to come out. I'm sure loads of things are being talked about right now.
I'm certain they signed to do something this year at the meeting at Geri's but put out the pic and statement to see what other offers come in.
This was shared on the DenDen 2.0 facebook page:
We will get 'early stages' till the 12th hour. They obviously want to keep the announcement a surprise in terms of when it will come.
The animated thing is rather bizarre as it feels like it should've happened 20 years ago not now.
Then again nostalgia is a massive business.
It depends on how the annimated film is done and by who. I mean if the other parts in it are voiced by big names and the girls record a new song for it or a soundtrack it could be huge.
One of the most concerning parts of this idea to me is...while Simon is a genius at certain aspects of handling artists...that really...really...doesn't apply to his handling of films. From Justin to Kelly and S Club Seeing Double happened on his watch. Spice World gets points from me for being just so unapologetically weird and campy despite belonging to the biggest group of that era. 90s nostalgia can somewhat save it now...but we have to be honest. Whatever they do now has to be better. A lot better. Why do we believe that during the group's heyday we'd just get a product like Spice World...but think 20 years later that Disney and Marvel will create something truly great with them? I don't think Simon has the best sense of quality control in this arena.
A demand for the Spice Girls definitely exists. Every time another reunion rumor surfaces (which is...a lot) all my social sites explode with excited reposts/retweets. That's coming from middle America. But I truly do believe the fandom exists only over seeing the actual girls. A reunion tour would be a towering success...and I really do think anything else is doomed. There's a reason why I see hundreds of reposts/retweets from friends over a reunion tour rumor...but I see none when word of an animated movie breaks....
Melanie C:
“I know there are a lot of people that want to see the Spice Girls back on stage together, and it would be a wonderful thing. But it’s not something that is planned to happen in the near future.
We have come together, and we’re back with our previous manager Simon Fuller, and we are looking at opportunities. Animation is something we’ve talked about, an animated movie, a TV show potentially – nothing reality – this isn’t something that’s been discussed. And then, of course, the potential of performing together at some point. All of this is super early days, it’s still very much at the discussion stage. But it’s just really nice for us all to be back together, to kind of be under one roof. The Spice Girls legacy is so important to us. We just want to be positive and continue to inspire, not only young women, but people in general.“

Christian Horner:
“I think there will be a Spice Girls world tour. Geri is very committed to it and I would happily go to see it.
A lot of people, fans, want a world tour so despite what has been said, it wouldn’t surprise me if it went ahead.”
http://metro.co.uk/2018/04/01/geri-horners-husband-christian-hints-at-massive-spice-girls-reunion-i-think-there-will-be-a-tour-7431823/
The first paragraph about being on stage is in direct reaction to the BSBs wanting to do a joint tour with them. I think she is referring to that rumour with 'but it is not something that is planned to happen in the near future'. As she goes on tl say there is the potential to perform together further down the interview.
So confused after so many rumors... has there been any official news/confirmation since that Instagram picture with all of them?
I really don't mind the idea of animated movie or even a tv series
They really should have done a couple moe BIg albums all together, or at least just ONE more.
Geri's impatience really ruined them.
Then again, Mel C's album personified the turn of the millennium music/ style, and Spice Girls' cheesy 90s music did not, sooo
It’s all swings and roundabouts really. I would have loved a 3rd 5piece (or even 4piece) Spice Pop album in 1998, there was still such a demand and it was bound to sell well and be another big era...
However I’d only want that if we still got Northern Star in 1999 as I adore that album, it’s my favourite (sometimes Spiceworld) Spice Girls related release and we probably would never have got it had the girls kept going. They ruined it for themselves at the time and will never be legends in the same league as ABBA, Cher, Madonna... because they just didn’t release enough. However they are iconic and definitely sit well in that remembered as a huge band bracket of Wham who imploded for a short while too.
Well Victoria did say she will do carpool karaoke with the spice girls when asked by James Corden yesterday on his show. Better than nothing
That would be fun I hope they do it .
I would expect 50 million YouTube views if it happened
Xtina is the next star on Carpool I hope they do it after her and don't wait so freakin long
In an interview with Grazia magazine, Victoria addressed the state of the reunion: "There is no tour, no more music from the Spice Girls, but it was great getting together with them. We were just saying Girl Power is such an important message and how do we communicate that?
"How do we pass the baton on, how does that look to future generations? And that's what it's about with us. It's not all about the rumours about going on tour and recording new material."
Victoria added: "I think girl power has always been important. And now, for me, it's about empowering women through fashion."
Pass the baton on ? what a load of tosh , in other words how can we make money without touring and releasing new music?
She's either utterly clueless as to what the Spice fanbase want from them or else she's being coy and not wanting to give anything away yet.
If it's the former she/they are alienating whatever fans they have left as I don't think many of the Spice fans are that fascinated by her fashion career.
It's sad to think that a tour would probably be announced by now if not for Victoria's reluctance.
Mel B has posted a throwback photo of the Spice Girls' Rolling Stones cover on instagram, with the caption: "Can’t wait to see my girls next week yipppeeee #girlpower #friendshipneverends #90s" ;o

God I can't take anymore give me a flipping break please!! Every time I think I'm over it, they start it up again!
Rehearsals for royal wedding?
bet they perform 2 become 1
I believe NOTHING!! I’m too jaded and strung out by it all!
They ended in 2000.
Apart from when they got together in 2007 and 2012
The reception evening party is at Frogmore House so won’t be as regal as Windsor Castle for the daytime event. I could imagine them all agreeing to perform if asked personally by Harry.
She said she is seeing Geri and Emma, so much for all the girls like we assumed
Aww that was a cute video. She comes across a lot nicer here than she does as a reality TV judge but I guess she puts on a 'persona' when she was judging.
I am excited for this comeback though
What form is it coming in though?
She sounds very positive (and this must be her best UK TV interview appearance in YEARS, in recent years she came across as being detached and irritated), so that's pleasing in itself!
Emma was just in the studio
The YouTube image for Mel there is not flattering at all
Geri, Mel B and Emma met up today -

Listens to Song For Her on repeat.
Still love it.

A visual album would be great and I bet vicky won't say No

“announcing dates” 🤔
*sigh* Look. Mel B's my favorite member. Always has been. Always will be.
Buuut.
I have to assume the other four girls have been in a group text for years...with lots and lots of messages reading "OMG...did you hear what she said now?!"
The tabloids and talk shows still don't seem to have caught on to the fact Mel's big announcements never actually happen. I guess they all just think they have a big scoop every time Mel blurts out something.
Do the other girls call her out on it? Is it all just wishful thinking on Mel's part?...like if she announces plans enough the others will feel obliged to do it?
And how far back can we trace Mel doing this? Years and years ago...I remember her claiming they might release more Forever singles in 2002. But as a general rule, I think these, erm, "premature announcements" came about post-reunion tour...
I feel sorry for Mel, because her words are also taken out of context. She hasn't said all 5 of us are going on tour, but the media just run with it.
She still is 'I better not say anything else' about the Royal Wedding too, so maybe there is some truth in it - or maybe GEM are performing at the wedding?
TMZ report that they will not be performing at the royal wedding.
https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/6267591/spice-girls-film-documentary-reunited/
Also the animated movie is true I just hope at least they do the soundtrack for it too
Sounds like tabloid rumour fodder
The only docu that would work is the 5 girls sitting together and watching old footage from Raw Spice until the present day. And release the docu with an anthology album package with unreleased tracks. And if possible a tour.
I hope they Re-record Song for her with Mel C and Vicky
Pagesix reporting only Geri, Victoria and Emma invited to royal wedding.
Poor Mel B
Just Queen Victoria at the wedding then!
A ton of outlets ran with the "only three Spice Girls invited to the royal wedding" thing...including...quite oddly...Fox News.
I mean. Is everyone just basing this off of the Page Six article...quoting some source they didn't reveal? I wouldn't say it's exactly confirmed that's what happened.
Anyway. I guess Mel B just said what she said as a way to raise her profile for a short while. It's probably why she flat-out makes up a lot of things. This is the first time I've seen a lot of outlets calling her out on a lie. Her comments from The Real have been in a lot of royal wedding articles yesterday and today.
I think she was hoping to go that's why she was lying and victoria was there because of David Duh
I'm a bit over Mel's fibbing at this point. :') It's one thing her raising hopes for a reunion, but for her to imply that they would all be guests at the Royal Wedding, for that to just end up being a lie? Um... what is she playing at?
I'm wondering at this point what on earth they are doing. Honestly I think Mel B whipping up the press into a frenzy about reunion details is going to start wearing thin now, with nothing ever materialising. It's turning into a bit of a "the boy who cried wolf" situation.
Mel B needs to shut up and disappear for a while till everything goes back to normal and everyone forgets that freakin lie
The only thing i can think is they were invited to the wedding reception to perform all 5 of them but Vic declined and maybe Mel B saying it was trying to push Vic into doing it.
Vic was the only 1 invited to the actual wedding.
I was just thinking...we're actually coming up on ten years since Mel blurted out she was recording a duet with Janet Jackson...and would even be going on tour with her. Janet's reps had to swoop in and discredit Mel's claims. Point being. The past ten years have held *a lot* of lies. It's hard to keep tabs on them all.
My best guess is this. Mel's just looking to raise her profile...and by the time her latest big claim is proven false, she might have some other work booked. Mel's not really held accountable for making stuff up. Will anyone really call her out on the royal wedding claims? Even if they did, she could just say "Well. Didn't work out!" and that would be that.
As Mel C said, they were never invited and never invited to perform.
It was very bizarre how she described what the invitation looked like if it was indeed all in her head.
Sometimes I do feel for Mel though as I truly believe she'd drop everything for any little bit of group related work.
Same old answer really, "talking about opportunities" etc.
She speaks so fast at the start, what on earth is she saying?
she knows "NME readers really wanna know" Is she being sarcastic, don't they usually have rock bands and credible artists?
Talking about opportunities
With the animated tv/movie they could include an EP soundtrack?
from the daily star : the girl band are rumored to be preparing new music for a future greatest hits package
In her recent This Morning interivew, Emma just kinda echoed what had already been said about the reunion
They may be dong some shows (but not a full tour), animated movie may happen, something will happen, Victoria will be involved in some way
The animated movie plan doesn't excite me at all!

KIBOSH SPICE The Spice Girls reunion tour is called off AGAIN after Victoria Beckham refuses to tour
The proposed £150million world tour was due to kick off on September 27

victoria is really starting to chap my ass.
im all about a four piece gig in wembley now.
I'm trying to work out why Victoria agreed to be part of the plans in February if she wasn't willing to perform which let's face it was always the number 1 expectation.
lets start a campaign to get Not Such An Innocent Girl back into the top 10 just to piss her off
Oh Vicky hun make up your god damn mind
Load Of tosh that article
I find it funny how people think the tabloids write the truth and think they are genuine insiders.
When it comes to spice news it's hard to even believe anything
Me posting/linking to that article isn't an indication that I believed it! I always take every thing with a pinch of salt. It's just that it's the latest in a very long line of tiresome rumours that contributes to the mess that is the ongoing saga of the "will they/won't they" reunion. That's why I was " "
https://twitter.com/SpiceGirlsNet/status/1012079774498541568
Mel B is once again promising that there will be a tour... :') I mean I always like how positive and into it she seems, but then nothing ever happens so it's very, very hard to believe.
^ Yeah. On the Today Show this morning she also claimed plans were all sorted out, and they would definitely be performing soon. Poor naive Hoda Kotb did the same thing all the interviewers do...sit back and act stunned at this seemingly huge revelation. Mel also said she wishes Victoria would stop claiming it's not happening. So. I'm sure Victoria just loved that.
Perhaps most interestingly...Mel claimed the reason the royal wedding thing fell apart was because she had to be in divorce court. Not that this matters...but I'm sure that court date could be pretty easily disproven. And does that odd explanation imply another two members of the group had their invites rescinded because one of them was in court?
Anyway. I'm not new here. I know Mel B's spent the past decade making wild untrue claims. While it doesn't seem very many publications call her out on her blatant lying...it does seem the level of excitement over her announcements is dwindling. There doesn't seem to be an explosion of articles over Mel's claims today...like there have been in the past. Some of the entertainment writers starting to catch on...?
Mel B should have learned to shut up and wait for concrete plans before repeteadly talking sh*t.
I dont understand why so much credit is given to her words after her "SG attending the Royal Wedding" breaking news.
LOL Mel c and Emma are working on new solo music so Mel B can dream
I love how she told Victoria to stop denying it
Mel B on Loose Women today: "For sure we are getting back together" / "There's one that's being a bit difficult" / "We're gonna start this year, and then go on till next year and then the year after that if it's got anything to do with me"
lol ~
Love her

Honestly so bored about these stories now. Over and over and over and over.
I will start caring again when something official is confirmed x
How many times have they ran that exact same VB storyline?
If the press didn't hound and attack her like dogs in the early 00s and whip up jealousy cos she married DB maybe she'd be more willing? Just a thought?
The VB stories are always the same.
I have decided the last while i am just going to hold out until it is confirmed what the reunion is.
some guys are back at it again with leaked tracks go go go and the the other tracks and I'm sure they will never share them
“They just showed a very short interview with Melanie C on German TV and she said they are still talking and that they all would love to do something and that we will hear about it when they are ready.”
(Thanks to Conan from Popjustice!)
Also, this September rumour seemed to be an indication that's when there might be an announcement.
Anyone who thought a reunion concert would be announced, planned, rehearsed and put on by September is deluded.
If history has taught us anything from 2007 and the Olympics, it's that nothing is official until the very last minute. To quote that midwife in Spiceworld: The Movie, 'Relax girls, you're in for a long wait!'
The Sun reports on a 13-date Stadium tour for 2019??
https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/7101565/spice-girls-13-date-tour-2019/
Definitely an "I'll believe it when I see it" situation!
A stadium date for a 4 piece line-up seems very ambitious to me, let alone 13 of them.
Same old, same old... promises that a tour will definitely happen.
Mel B regarding the possibility of Victoria being a part of it: “Well, we’ll see about that one. But us four are definitely going on tour. She may join us for a few - she better do.”
Looks like the four piece tour is happening
What makes you say that?
Is Glastonbury out of her question ?
As a four piece yes! Even as a 5 piece I’m not sure they would really be considered as ‘credible’ enough?
^ busted played last year
Busted played Glastonbury!?!?
Yes ! They had to close a field because they didn’t expect so many of the crowd to want to watch them .
Glastonbury is becoming more and more diverse .
Glastonbury embraces all sorts. I saw Abba tribute Bjorn Again on the pyramid stage about 10 years ago.
We had Bjorn Again as one of our bands at my Uni leavers do, they were fab. Alesha Dixon was the main, she wasn't so good lol. The year before they got bloody Sugababes!!! How unfair!
https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/7481899/mel-c-spice-girls-reunion-tour/
What do you think of it?
An affirmation like this is rare from Melanie C...
I hope for an announcement soon...
Something is happening for sure the four piece thing is happening and I do believe some solo stuff will be out too after the reunion they've been planning this for a long time now .
https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/7488306/mel-b-makes-furious-jibe-at-victoria-beckham-during-bust-up-over-spice-girls-reunion-as-group-announce-reunion-tour-will-start-in-may/
Oh my word....
What a load of bull, I could have written that story just as much as anyone else. It's The Trash sorry I mean The Sun!
I'll take the supposed Mel B quote with a pinch of salt... but it's interesting that Mel B & Geri were pictured at Alva West Studios, and also curious that Octopus Direct Limited has been "dissolved via compulsory strike-off".
So what I got from this article is:
-the girls have been papped on Friday going into a studio where they had apparently photo shoots and recorded video for a announcement
- Simon Fuller is not involved instead they signed with Modest! (1D,Little Mix,Olly Murs,Niall Horan)
-it’s apparently a UK tour + some European dates.
-Octopus Ltd. the girls company is getting dissolved on the 16th paving the way for a company without Victoria.
Also there is a locked twitter account and private instagram account with the SpiceGirls handle
Things might be announced soon now.
I hope they just go for it as a 4 piece.
They have nothing to lose and if 4 of them wish to do it why not?
Waiting for Victoria to change her mind must be draining.
I just hope it remains civil.
Victoria discusses reunion rumours, to Vogue Australia:
Victoria also revealed talk of a reunion had completely taken on a life of its own – which reminded her of how ‘awful’ that side of the industry could be. Discussing those persistent tour rumours – and accusations she is to blame for the lack of a reunion – she vowed this isn’t the case. ‘Every day someone says: “Are you going on tour? You’re the one who’s stopping it.” For me, there was always something else I wanted to do,’ she continued. ‘I had a lunch with the Spice Girls a few months ago to see how everybody was, things spiralled out of control, and I had my lawyer trying to beat down stories that were completely ludicrous. ‘It was a reminder of how awful that was.’
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So the lunch was a total disaster
They should just give it up at this point tbh.
So we are back to Mel B Vs Victoria again
I doubt many will care.... Westlife are bigger...!
This is some kinda of Sugababes mess
https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/7538262/mel-c-spice-singing-lessons/
These two points stood out to me:
Relaunch in a surprising way . eat that Victoria
I'm sick of waiting just bloody do something or don't, stop stringing us along!!!!
Melanie C said in an interview with German tv channel MDR which they gonna air in February 2019 (!!!) that they are going on tour.
As this is the reliable Mel we can say it’s 100 % happening
I really hope something is coming our way.
There seems more scope to do other things than if Victoria was involved and it was short lived.
Hopefully there'll be a tour which will last a few months, appearances, photoshoots and hopefully some kind of musical release (GH repackaged, new material etc)
Mel c's mum liked a tweet by Kevsie about November 5th, I think it is safe to say barring a disaster we will get an announcement on the 5th.
Spice Girls - Forever More is happening.
My bet is a UK tour with the possibility of adding a handful of EU/US dates, but much more scaled back than TROTSG tour. I'm not sure whether they would attempt stadiums in the UK or whether they would do arenas, but say six stadium dates would be much less time out of their schedules and hit bigger audiences faster. Mel B's interview makes it seem like songwriting is a potential and so I wouldn't be surprised if there is at least one or two new recordings in some format.
I'm also taking that as confirmation (not that we even needed it) that Victoria is not part of this project, but i'm really not phased. I'd really like it if the tour was a bit like Ten and followed more of a chronological order, but definitely hope Holler and Headlines are included despite the line up variations.
OMG can't wait for that announcement
Another greatest hits released in May before a tour would be good. Lose move over, add step to me. Lose voodoo and add in 2 new 4 piece songs. Add a 2019 4 piece version of Never give up on the good times before last song goodbye. So 17 tracks for a standard version and a deluxe with b sides and rarities and unreleased songs plus one more 4 piece new song on a 2nd disc.
Step to me didn't have as much impact as Move Over on a worldwide scale though, especially in the US where the adverts were heavily played, so really between the two Pepsi songs Move over is the obvious choice for a GH package.

I would love if Goodbye was placed before Holler in it’s order of release.
I hope this tour has the proper version of Viva Forever with the lush Mel B/C closure.
My biggest worry is Let Love Lead The Way and Headlines will get skipped out!
Surely it'd be more exciting/interesting if we got a whole new album.
If they are going to record again as four another studio album is surely the way to go.
A new GH with all the hits PLUS unreleased tracks would be amazing. At this stage, that is all I ask!
I hope for some new music...a fourth album would be a dream…
I don't think a new greatest hits will be out...If so, I hope they remove Voodoo (maybe also Move over)...
Rather I'm curious for the forever's songs during the concerts, like Holler or LLLTW, will they be sung in trio or with Geri?
I'm so excited, can't wait for the 5 november...
If we get anything released from a reunion music wise then it is most likely to be another GH. it is an easy cash in, record 2 new songs and re-record never give up on the good times and the rest is done.
I wouldn't mind it though and would but it for the new songs. It is a nice testing of the water too to how people react to the new 4 piece songs as to whether they could ever consider a full 4 piece album.
As for a tour I could see LLLTW being dropped. Holler is too big a hit and I think Headlines translates well live. I'd assume all 4 will perform both.
Their singles run is pretty ballad heavy so dropping LLLTW won't hurt as they have plenty of other ballads.

Is there need for a new GH ?
They will never perform OYWHSF or Last Time Lover on a reunion tour. Maybe we could hope for a video interlude of LTL becuase the know fans want it ?
I’m sure there will be a solo section. I’d like the solo section to feature all the girls as back up.
No covers.
I wouldn’t mind if headlines and LLBTW were cut.
I don’t want SUYL to open .
Well Last time lover is basically a GEM song, Mel B, Emma and Geri sing pretty much everything. Throw Mel C a few ad libs and you have a song never performed live but on their biggest selling album so a really well known song.
If we get a tour these songs are pretty easy to rework
SYBT - Give her part to Melanie C
2B1 - Geri could sing the song but keep Victoria's lines
WDYTYA - Mel B/C could share the 2nd verse
SUYL - One line
Too Much - Emma could sing Victoria's line or Geri could sing 2 verses
Viva Forever/Goodbye - The girls could share her final choruses
I'm getting ahead of myself here. Of course every girl and every voice is integral to the group as they were all distinctive, but song and vocal wise they can pull it off.
I'd have Melanie B sing Victoria's lines in Headlines as she doesn't really have a solo verse bar the closing line
and give Geri the lines in Holler and Goodbye. I doubt they'd perform Let Love Lead The Way but if so, Emma is the best bet.
Regarding the other Forever songs - if any were performed - they could share them out between the girls.
Is anything actually happening on the 5th for sure?
No official word yet, just the guy who interviewed Mel B in Australia, and now Dan Wootton (although he's not confirmed the date):
"Official reunion announcement is imminent. On tour next year."
https://twitter.com/danwootton/status/1056997197261217794
Also Kevsie tweeted about the 5th and a spice girls announcement and Mel C's mum liked it.
I just hope we get a least one or two new songs
The 4 of them are gonna be on Jonathan Ross on the 10th of November.
It’s recorded next Wednesday.
Very exciting been longing for a decent tv interview from them we didn't even get it in 2007.
I hope the tour isn’t in May I’m on holiday most of next May.
yessss it’s finally happening!
Roll on next week 😭😭
I’m buzzing! We’ve Waiting so long!
What do you think we'll get?
UK Tour
World Tour
GH reissue
New music or a single
Documentary/film ??
Can't wait for the Jonathan Ross interviews and for a new photoshoot.
Do we really need a new doc ? They have had their fair share !!
They just better film this tour professionally this time .
Filming the tour is a must!
As for a documentary, I would only be up for that if they sat down together to share memories - it's always fun when they interact with each other. If it was another "separate interviews" one - no thanks.
Tbh I'd rather them do a TV special along the lines of the "...at the BBC" shows (Adele / Harry Styles / Ariana Grande have done this).
Who do we want as tour support act?
Mks or all saints. All saints are possible tbh as Emma was at their Brixton show.
The JR Leak article has now been featured in -

I find it funny Dan Wootton is quiet now he doesn’t have the exclusive
How exciting!!
I think we'll get a new GH with the tour
Dan Wotton posted that he loved the Halloween outfit . One thing I agree with him on .
Poor VB Jonathan Ross chased her away from singing, bullying her about it and letting his classless Murdoch press brainwashed audience heckle, the sack of absolute shite. It is an insult to VB to go on his show.
Just listened to Last Time Lover. Amazing!! That's what they were aiming for with Forever but failed. Their own fault for rush making an album in a few days.
They didn't rush make Forever, it was actually the longest process of the 3 of making am album and many many songs sit in the vaults from it. They changed direction as the process of making Forever went on to more RnB.
Last Time Lover is an amazing song though and I could even see it in 2018 sat on a Rihanna album with more modern production.
Well I just hope the Ross interview will be respectful to VB because the last thing they need is to be accused of bullying and shade before the reunion has even started. She does have a lot of fans worldwide.
Why is it the when girls take the piss out of each other people claim it’s bullhing?
When Gary and Robbie had issues or when Zayn left one d, etc there was no mention of bullying.
It was a Halloween costume , it was a joke . It’s scary spice for goodness sake!!
Dan Wooton has piped up
https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/7647932/spice-girls-reunite-monday-stadium-tour-plans/
Told ya he has been sat on that story for a while. I assume someone from Modest is feeding him the info.
Stadiums scares me that is mightly ambitious. Still the backers must have faith and it is hopefully a mix of stadiums and arenas.
Super excited for Monday now!! Fingers crossed that they add some North American dates later on!
