So... here we are again at the beginning of a new year in Spice World yahoo.gif

Gather around girlies and let's get annalysing and predicting what might happen and what we can forget about in year of Our Lord Baby Spice 2024 teresa.gif

Last year was a bit forgettable in Spice World, with mostly Mel C being active in music, Bunton taking care of her nappy business, Mel B doing bits and bobs on TV and Gerita going into children's books again. For the group though, it was not necessarily a let down as we weren't really expecting much but damn nocheer.gif

But that is by the by! We start the year with some indications that a potential group project, with all 5 Spice Girls involved for once, is going to be announced soon. Those are not just rumours though, as Mel B has mentioned it as confirmed and about to be announced and Mel C and Emma also dropping hints of something to come. Even Geri has mentioned she would be up to do 'something' and was up for the idea of a Glastonbury and group celebration...

So what is it?? May we have the privilege to DARE expect anything, after so many years of wanting and be promised? Mel B said is was going to be 'the gift that keeps on giving' this year!!

SPICE GIRLS

The year started off great in the form of the Spice Girls announcing a partnership with Royal Mail for a high-quality and reputable series collection of stamps! Then, the British Music Experience museum announced a major retrospective of the group's career, to boot! Both are being labelled as a celebration of their 30years in the business, and it seems like this is the big marketing for this year. More celebrations!

Then Mel C invited Emma for a new live rendition of Viva Forever and later the Appleton sisters for a group rendition of 2 Become 1.

So far, not bad! It is shapping up to be an important year for the band. Mel B even said it will be 'the gift that keeps on giving'

So as far as we know ALL FIVE of the Spice Girls are apparently doing something together. We know a documentary is in the works by a successful Hollywood team, and it has been shopped around, with various confirmations that is being made.

We expect them to announce it soon. Beyond that and more merchandise, I don't see anything in the vein of a tour or music (even a Greatest Hits) being announced anytime soon, sadly...

Could we expect something else from them? And what do you want the document to be like?

MELANIE C

Melanie has been in and out of the studio for the past few months, and seems to be gearing up for a new record or at least a single. She will be doing some live shows here and there too as she keeps doing the rounds. I would expect some more summer shows to be announced soon.

Plus, this is the year her Northern Star album turns 25years old. After a couple of re-releases on vinyl these past couple of years, what do you think we can expect for the iconic album's celebrations?

EMMA BUNTON

There are some rumours that a Free Me re-release for the stunning, iconic, legandary, gay-rights album on vinyl next month to celebrate it's 20th anniversary. This would break the Spice World fandom really! hell, they might even put the album on international streaming platforms teresa.gif

Not expecting much more from Emma beyond that to be honest. I'd love her to do more music but....

Probably more nappies?... pirate.gif

GERITA

Book #2 from her Rosie Frost series is to be released in the autumn. Can we expect anything else?...

MEL B

Probably more TV work, interviews/actions for Women's Aid and some adverts? I can't imagine much more from her, sadly...

VICKY BEX

IS THIS THE YEAR VICKY WILL FINALLY BE BACK IN THE GROUP??? Obviously don't ever expect her to be back with a mic to sing on a stage, but what do you see her doing this year beyond her fashion and beauty brands?

Some more David butt pics on instagram?? cheer.gif

Spice Girls -

This will be the year they pull it together. The documentary will make them super hot property and a tour will finally get announced. Loads of money making tie ins.

Mel C -

Singles released but not an album. Fitting in festivals where she can.

Emma -

Free Me vinyl and her streaming sorted out for its anniversary. Another Christmas single.

Geri -

Nothing much as I don't see the 2nd book coming out so soon. I have a feeling she might decide to launch a podcast.

Mel B -

More TV work

Victoria -

Her involvement with the documentary will be her Spice Girls duties done. So another year of posting women who are anorexic in bog standard clothes on her insta and using half naked videos of her husband to get social media interest.

I'd love it if your optimism about a future tour turns out to be the reality but this is the Spice Girls we're talking about sammy... even if they get to be super hot property again, I bet one of them (Geri) will want to do something else instead and it will all fall apart again... teresa.gif

Doubt Emma will have a Christmas single out... there was nothing this year from her at all, and she was talking about booking venues. Plus, she is not particularly known for being a 'Christmas stapple'... she tried, bless her. but I would rather she do something else. She's a good writer for music, she could try and write more for other artists.

Geri's second book is confirmed for this year dry.gif

SPICE GIRLS
The documentary could be the only concrete project, better than nothing. The stamps are a nice surprise to start this 2024.

EMMA
I have the impression that she is a bit lost with her career. She could do more music.

MELANIE B
She is starting again with TV projects but they bore me. She has a lot of potential to do something bigger.

MELANIE C
New music, hopefully a new full album.

GERI
A second Rosie book? I have still to start the first

VICTORIA
I'm not interested in her fashion career to be honest.

I foresee…

Spice Girls
A documentary which gives them a temporary boost and sees the GH re-chart. They can’t get their shit together to actually release an unreleased, live or re-release of GH so nothing else happens.

Melanie C
A new album this year, she does the festival circuit again and sells tickets to her own 2025 tour.

Geri
The second Rosie Frost book is released she does another promo run for it. She might also pop up in a TV show or film randomly in a small part ala the Racing film she was in.

Mel B
She continues with her TV career, possibly replacing one of the AGT judges on the main show and potentially becoming a judge in a UK or AUS show. Potential presenting gig on something too. She also continues to raise awareness for her women’s shelter charities.

Victoria
She continues with her fashion empire, another collection is released and she does a tie in with another make up brand to build on that side of the business. Possibly moves into shoes.

Emma Bunton
Nothing of any real interest, she seems the most lost in her career has no real angle at the moment. She will do an Instagram post for Free Me anniversary and continue to push her Kit n Kin brand.


What I would like (within realms of fantasy realistic chance lol)

Spice Girls
The documentary comes out and the girls use it as an opportunity to launch tickets for a stadium world tour with all 5 for the “final hurrah!” They cover territories they haven’t before including Asia and Australia before going back to the USA, Europe and ending in the U.K. with dates in major cities ending at Wembley. They do their final performance at Glastonbury cementing themselves as touring legends as well as pop icons. They released an unreleased album in a quiet week with multiple variants including individual covers and go to #1 and they end the year with a Christmas song which becomes a top 10 hit for them and a staple Christmas song. They end on a high once and for all as a five piece.

Melanie C
She used the Spice Girls publicity to launch her 9th album a greatest hits and releases tickets for a Northern Star 25th anniversary tour towards the end of the year when the Spice Girls tour is over. The greatest hits becomes her 4th top 10 album and manages a grand total of 2 weeks in the charts!!! As the Spice Girls tour ends she also releases her 10th album a new studio album which becomes her third top 5 and manages 3 massive weeks in the charts with 2 in the top 40!!! She releases tickets for a small European tour supporting the album which also manages top 20 positions in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden and even hits #1 in Portugal becoming her second #1 album there! Towards the end of the year it’s announced that a new search for west end star show (ala Superstar) is coming in 2025 and Melanie will be a judge plus one of the main roles. It gets her a second Lawrence Olivier nomination in 2025.

Geri
Geri re-releases Schizophonic for its 25th anniversary with a vinyl CD and cassette release. It has some unreleased tracks on it as well as the B-Sides. It goes top 40 for a week. After the tour she launches Rosie Frost which appears on a couple of best sellers list. She also has a greatest hits release which includes singles and some planned releases / fan favourites and Man on the mountain as a bonus CD. It goes top 20 for one week.

Emma
She re-releases Free Me on vinyl (and CD / cassette). It goes too 75 for a week. Once the tour is over pre-orders go up for a Christmas album “My Happy Christmas” and she announces dates for a small U.K. tour to tie in with it. The album is a mix of Motown / Phil Spector classic Christmas songs and some new tracks including some duets ala My Happy Place. Emma talks about how much she loves Christmas etc in interviews and teases about potential new music with stories of the recording studio being her favourite place. The album goes top 10 and persuades her to go back into the studio for a full studio album in 2025.

Mel B
She gets given a permanent role on Americas got talent again which she takes. After the tour there is a new talent show launched in the U.K. and shred a judge / mentor role. It’s a semi big hit and she gets a limited run chat show for a channel. She is also randomly featured on a song which manages a few weeks too 75 but more due to the other artist not her. Nethertheless we are all delighted and convinced she will relaunch her solo career. Instead she announces she is doing Australian BGT!

Victoria
She continues her fashion career after the tour ends putting it behind her once and for all. In 2025 she randomly appears on a Calvin Harris track which goes to #1 and everyone is gobsmacked. 😂 The girls are now the only band ever to have all their members achieve a solo #1 single.

Geri really should give it a couple of years before the next book. There will of course be less interest in a 2nd book especially in the US. I felt for 'Rosie' there seemed to be an interest in her, what she looked like and was like now as most casual US fans probably hadn't seen from her in a lot of years.

That 'oh look Geri, haven't seen her in years' interest will have gone.

I have the book in my classroom and so far 7 children have read it, they have all asked if I will get the second one as they really want to read the follow up. She would be silly to leave it a couple of years and have those children grow up and forget about it.

I've never read the Harry Potter books, how long were they between releases?

Did it do well with kids though or gays buying 3 or more copies each?

More of the same from each other after 2019.
It's been 30 years since they formed in 1994.
Apparently the animation project has not been completed and discontinued.

Book massively flopped, even though it eas ghost written, so no, she won't be asked to do more. Shakrspeare, she's not!! She fell out with Mel B over wearing white, so the group is history again.

I'm sure the documentary is so far down the line now that it will happen but it will feel Viva Forever like. I can even see a big premier with a red carpet, Geri turns up with Christian, Emma, Mel and Mel turn up together and Victoria turns up late alone.

Honestly you cant believe they are all basically 50 and still so immature and full of ego.

Let's be honest here, the Spice Girls continue to be a hot topic whatever they do as a group. People do care whenever they do or announce anything. If they were to tour or release new music, they would definitely have the world watching/listening/attending.

The fact they might be 'over' is only their own doing. THEY keep falling out or not being interested. The public and the press have not been as Spice-friendly since 1998.

Yeah it isn't the demand for the Spice Girls isn't there, especially with things like touring but when two members are Victoria and Geri who have lost all touch with reality then nothing will happen.
