I wonder if she will be able to perform in London? Such bad luck that she got ill.  What I'm about to write is speculative because of course there's many reasons why she could have got ill. I was kind of surprised that her meet and greet photos had her in such close contact with the fans. Those photos do look amazing and they have to be the best meet and greet pictures I've seen since before Covid, she definitely gave those fans their money's worth. I just wonder if some level of social distancing would have been wiser. Obviously that might not even be the reason at all and what's done is done, I hope she has a speedy recovery.  Hopefully she will be able to do London at least, but this is such a blow to Emma and the York/Birmingham fans

It is an incredibly unfortunate position to be in, sadly... She sounded very rough in Brighton (which was also another reason to know she was miming ah...)
This time of the year is very bad for colds and viruses, and I hope she is recovering well. As a live singer, she really needs to take more care of herself. Touring is grueling and can really affect you. I remember she started exercising and do vocal trainings for Spiceworld2019 early in the year. Granted, that was a much bigger tour and rehearsal period, but even in a smaller tour like this, specially in the winter, you need to get your body in shape to withstand the amount of workload, people around you and the winter viruses... Artists rehearse for months sometimes for small tours. Emma rehearsed for 6 days for this. It is clearly not enough from a rehearsal point of view (and it shows how unprepared they all were...) but also to how your body adjusts to the suddenly change of pace in your life. It doesnt look like she was ready, AT ALL. And it shows. Touring is hard, no matter the scale. She will be fine for London. It is completely sold out, and she has had a few days to rest up and get better. She will do it even if she is in the same position as in Brighton, i think, whereas she is a bit rough still but she will go through it, rely on the miming, and rest properly afterwards. What a shame this whole tour has turned out to be. For her first tour, the only saving grave has been London selling out. Most of the fans and online chatter has been about this being a mediocre affair overall. She should release music and start going to festivals, doing the gig round like Mel C does, even if she doesnt want to do as much as Mel C. But yeah, she need to hone in her craft! |

I realise that they probably couldn't rehearse for literal months since it would blow the budget, but on the other hand Emma's not someone who regularly tours and thus have a lot of tricks up her sleeve. Someone like Mel C *might* pull it off because she regularly performs and has at least a core set of people around her to help with pulling a show together. Emma has no such crew and yeah, you could tell just by the dancers that they didn't have time to even perfect simple dance routines. The more I hear about this project the more I wonder how they could expect this to not end in shambles. |

The more I hear about this project the more I wonder how they could expect this to not end in shambles. Absolutely. The more you train and prepare, the better it will all be. Sadly, this was always meant to be a low budget, 'this will do' affair and the absolute mess it has become is predictable under these conditions. Sadly, it doesnt really bode well at all for her as a solo act. The illness is the last worries here. It is the absolute shambles this has become. It's not even so camp that it is good. It's just all a bit lame and sad. This post has been edited by Mr.X: 18th December 2022, 02:06 PM |

It sounds like Emma is doing London tomorrow, she said she feels a little better and is going to rest all day and can't wait to see everyone tomorrow.

Yeah she is doing tomorrow's show for sure.
Can we also STOP with the rumours that she is pretending to be sick so she can cancel the shows and claim back money from the insurance claim? Can't a (Spice) girl be sick for once?.... PopJustice members are doing too much on this. Why create more drama when she was clearly sick already in Brighton. When she spoke to the crowds she sounded rough and with a sour throat already! No wonder she got really ill!! This post has been edited by Mr.X: 18th December 2022, 11:26 PM |

It is also a fact that Birmingham barely sold anything though. When you see the amount of tickets left across all of the ticketing vendors - there were lots of seats left.

Pretty sure that happened in Brighton, a lot of tickets were released in the morning and then it looked quite packed, there was a lot of free tickets given away. They would have done similar in York and Birmingham to be honest, so I dont think it would be a problem. The top tier in Birmingham were closed off for like a week as it was clearly not selling. But Brighton didnt look too bad in terms of actual people there, and everyone was on their feet the whole time so it seemed ok. Certainly not packed, but not that bad either. |

Emma is a very very rich woman she could easily take the hit on a couple of half sold tour dates. She would make plenty back on the merch (£5 for a candy cane that is a 20p candy cane on a piece of printed cardboard).
She loves to perform and I'm sure was absolutely gutted to cancel shows. She will probably be the same in London as with Brighton, struggle through it but obviously know it is the last date so if she feels like shit after it Tuesday she can get back to bed. |

Nice! Glad Mel C did it!! I do wonder if Mel B would have done it in York though... she was around then. And if that had happened, Emma would have had technically all her current band mates in attendance...
I did wonder why Gerita didn't jump on stage at least once in Brighton... ANYWAY! YAY for Sporty and Baby

The “Christmas Wrapping”, “Hey You (Free Up Your Mind)” & “I Know Him So Well” chanteuses are back together at long last
 The ultimate spicy duo
