QUOTE(Doomsday Dong @ 26th May 2024, 02:29 PM)  And not long after Geri quietly quit ... again!! After using them for fame for her ... cooking and other forms of trash. To be fair, they ALL used that return for their own solo fame/profit/profile.... Emma was releasing new music and touring solo around then too, and it was an obvious marketing plot (which kind of failed lol) Mel C also used that to enhance her profile and to use that money to cover her next era's expenses... Mel B used that also to book more high profile shows and re-launch as a personality in the UK... Yes, the three of them would have been very happy to continue to tour and there were even talks about making new music. It SUCKS that Geri was the one who put a stop to all of that so she could focus on her YouTube series and her book. It really does suck, but lets not pretend they all dropped their solo projects to focus on the group only either. I just think that the other three were happy to have a bit of both whereas Gerita wasnt, sadly... |

It's just ironic that the woman responsible for getting the SG to where they wwre is alao the one who broke them ... twice. Was the SG always just a launchpad dor her ego? I'm starting to think so. She never cared about cultivaring the biggest uk band since the Beatles, so that's why she's always been so quick to throw them in the traah, where her solo non music stuff belong.

While I'd love it if they'd get back out there and tour/make music together...I think there's a reality that it wasn't likely all five of them were going to remain in pop star mode into their late 40s/early 50s. People change. The fact three of them could still carry a big show is actually somewhat good odds.
To be fair to Geri, she was already saying in the Passion era that she didn't see herself as a lifelong performer like Cher. And at this point, Geri's not too far in age from what Cher was when Believe exploded. I don't think we're giving enough acknowledgement to the years where Geri and Victoria were regularly being named "Most Hated Woman in the UK" or being added to worst singers in history lists. There are artists out there like Madonna who had that ability to just take what detractors said and make art out of responding to it. But my read of the situation is Geri and Victoria were genuinely effected by their detractors. It's generally some other Spices feeding reunion hype while trying to sell a new book/show of their own. Is it entirely fair to be mad at Geri and Victoria if they're not the ones constantly getting the fanbase hopes up? Now. Could a three-piece reunion tour between the Mels and Emma work? Look, I'd support whatever they decided to do together. It could be Emma and Mel B Take Ukulele Lessons: LIVE...it could be the three of them setting up a roadside cantaloupe stand. Whatever they do, I'm here for it. Does that extend to the public? I think there's a reality that Victoria and Geri have had the most articles written about them over the years. I do think the profile of the reunion is lowered without the two of them. I'm definitely not convinced they could play stadiums. Now, a very different question...can the three-piece carry a show? Yeah, I do think that. Emma and the Mels still have the passion for performing. There are plenty of great three-piece girl groups. I even think they can re-disburse lines pretty easily.

Just watched/listened to some clips from Spiceworld tour 1998, and my oh my did they sound tireddddd!! Love that they used a live band, but the vocals were grating, and it was clear Geri was unhappy. They all looked stressed and whoever did their makeup deserved a sack.
